Abstract: We analyzed the expression of hepatic vanin-1 mRNA following the administration of a high-fat diet in mice as well as free fatty acids in hepatocyte cultures and speculated its possible mechanism. Vanin-1 mRNA levels in the livers of mice were upregulated within a day of the high-fat diet. An in vitro analysis using HuH-7 cells revealed a significant upregulation of vanin-1 mRNA by low oleic acid concentration; however, lipid accumulation in hepatocytes was not affected at this concentration. As a result of examining with various free fatty acids, it was shown that vanin-1 mRNA was upregulated by the oleic acid and the linoleic acid that makes the lipid droplet easily in the hepatocyte.
