Abstract
Background and aimsHydroxytyrosol (HT) is the primary phenolic compound of olives, virgin olive oil, and their byproducts. Proteomic analysis of metabolically active tissues helps elucidating novel mechanisms of action and potential targets in cardiometabolic disease. Thus, we aimed at determining the impact of long-term HT supplementation on the proteome of adipose and liver tissue, in mice. MethodsC57BL/6J mice received either a control diet or a diet supplemented with nutritionally relevant doses of HT for eight weeks. ResultsHT supplementation differentially affects the adipose and liver tissues proteome, as evaluated by super-SILAC. Some oxidative stress-related proteins were modulated in both tissues, such as the multifunctional protein peroxiredoxin 1, which was consistently repressed by HT supplementation. In some cases tissue-dependent modulation was observed, as in the case of FASN. ConclusionsThis study provides interesting information on the connection between changes seen at tissue proteome level and the metabolic effects of HT. The use of this pertinent proteomics quantification approach may prove quite useful for uncovering novel potential pharmaco-nutritional targets of HT supplementation.
