Objective: Vanin-1 (<i>VNN1</i>) is a pantetheinase that catalyses the hydrolysis of pantetheineto produce pantothenic acid and cysteamine. Our previous studies have shown that the<i>VNN1</i> is specifically expressed in chicken liver which negatively regulated by microRNA-122.However, the functions of the <i>VNN1</i> in lipid metabolism in chicken liver haven’t been elucidated.Methods: First, we detected the <i>VNN1</i> mRNA expression in 4-week chickens which were fasted 24 hours. Next, knocked out <i>VNN1</i> via CRISPR/Cas9 system in the chicken Leghorn Male Hepatoma cell line. Detected the lipid deposition via oil red staining and analysis the content of triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C), and highdensity lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) after <i>VNN1</i> knockout in Leghorn Male Hepatoma cell line. Then we captured various differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between <i>VNN1</i>-modified LMH cells and original LMH cells by RNA-seq.Results: Firstly, fasting-induced expression of <i>VNN1</i>. Meanwhile, we successfully used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to achieve targeted mutations of the <i>VNN1</i> in the chicken LMH cell line. Moreover, the expression level of <i>VNN1</i> mRNA in LMH-KO-<i>VNN1</i> cells decreased compared with that in the wild-type LMH cells (p<0.0001). Compared with control, lipid deposition was decreased after knockout <i>VNN1</i> via oil red staining, meanwhile, the contents of TG and LDL-C were significantly reduced, and the content of HDL-C was increased in LMH-KO-<i>VNN1</i> cells. Transcriptome sequencing showed that there were 1,335 DEGs between LMH-KO-<i>VNN1</i> cells and original LMH cells. Of these DEGs, 431 were upregulated, and 904 were downregulated. Gene ontology analyses of all DEGs showed that the lipid metabolism-related pathways, such as fatty acid biosynthesis and long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis, were enriched. KEGG pathway analyses showed that “lipid metabolism pathway”, “energy metabolism”, and “carbohydrate metabolism” were enriched. A total of 76 DEGs were involved in these pathways, of which 29 genes were upregulated (such as cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1, ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2, and apolipoprotein A4) and 47 genes were downregulated (such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1) by <i>VNN1</i> knockout in the LMH cells.Conclusion: These results suggest that <i>VNN1</i> plays an important role in coordinating lipid metabolism in the chicken liver.
Abstract
Objective: Vanin-1 (VNN1) is a pantetheinase that catalyses the hydrolysis of pantetheine to produce pantothenic acid and cysteamine. Our previous studies have shown that the VNN1 is specifically expressed in chicken liver which negatively regulated by microRNA-122. However, the functions of the VNN1 in lipid metabolism in chicken liver haven’t been elucidated. Methods: First, we detected the VNN1 mRNA expression in 4-week chickens which were fasted 24 hours. Next, knocked out VNN1 via CRISPR/Cas9 system in the chicken Leghorn Male Hepatoma cell line. Detected the lipid deposition via oil red staining and analysis the content of triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C), and highdensity lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) after VNN1 knockout in Leghorn Male Hepatoma cell line. Then we captured various differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between VNN1- modified LMH cells and original LMH cells by RNA-seq. Results: Firstly, fasting-induced expression of VNN1.

Moreover, the expression level of VNN1 mRNA in LMH-KO-VNN1 cells decreased compared with that in the wild-type LMH cells (p<0.0001).
