To further explore the fructose pro-steatosis mechanism, we performed an integrative analysis of liver transcriptome and lipidome as well as peripheral adipose tissues transcriptome analysis using samples collected from geese overfed with maize flour (control group) and geese overfed with maize flour supplemented with 10% fructose (treatment group). Overfeeding period of the treatment group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Dietary supplementation with 10% fructose induced more severe steatosis in goose liver. Compared with the control group, the treatment group had lower in ceramide levels (p < 0.05). The key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (control group vs. treatment group) involved in liver fatty acid biosynthesis and steroid biosynthesis were downregulated. The conjoint analysis between DEGs and different lipids showed that fatty acid biosynthesis and steroid biosynthesis were the highest impact score pathways. In conclusion, fructose expedites goose liver lipid accumulation maximization during overfeeding.

Backgroud: Early research in our lab is indicated that the effect of glucose, fructose and sucrose on the levels of triacylglycerol and inflammatory factor was significantly different, and it is speculated that the regulatory mechanism of lipid deposition by different type of sugar in the liver is different. Methods: In order to explore lipid deposition difference mediated by different type of sugar (glucos, fructose and sucrose) in goose fatty liver formation, this experiment was performed from cell culture, overfeeding experiment and transcriptome analysis three level. Results: Cell culture experiment results indicated that the levels of intracellular triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (T-CHO) and lipid content of fructose treatment and sucrose treatment were significantly higher than those of glucose treatment (P < 0.05). In slaughter performance, the liver weight, the ratio of liver weight to body weight, feed conversion ratio (liver weight / feed consumption ) were better in sucrose overfeeding group (P < 0.05). In addition, the liver of the sucrose overfeeding group contained a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, especially (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA ) (P < 0.05). Transcriptome analysis shown that the PPAR signaling pathway is highly enriched in the fructose and sucrose overfeeding groups; cell cycle and DNA replication pathways were highly enriched in the glucose overfeeding group. Conclusions: Due to lipids outward transportation decrease and anti-imflammation of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), thereby, fructose and sucrose hve better ability to induce steatosis in foie gras formation.
