Using suppression subtractive hybridization technique, we found that 2 novel genes (AEUG1 and AEUG3) were highly expressed in the adipocytes compared with preadipocytes. We then identified that these 2 genes were both angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). We applied 3'RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA end), 5'RACE, and PCR to obtain the full-length porcine ACE2 cDNA sequence. Because eicosanoids derived from PUFA are involved in regulating blood pressure, we hypothesized that PUFA can regulate the expression of the vasodilator ACE2. Preadipocytes from Landrace pigs were induced to differentiate for 4 d, then treated with 50 ?M of different PUFA, CLA, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or stearic acid (18:0). Addition of EPA or 18:0 for 48 h did not change the ACE2 mRNA abundance, whereas the treatments of arachidonic acid, CLA, and DHA significantly decreased ACE2 mRNA abundance after 48 h (P ? 0.05). Treatment with PUFA did not change (P > 0.05) type I and type II angiotensin receptor mRNA abundance. To further understand how PUFA metabolites affect ACE2 mRNA expression, we inhibited individual enzymes that are involved in eicosanoid production. We found that 3 individual eicosanoid pathway enzyme inhibitors recovered the PUFA effect on the expression of ACE2, indicating these pathways are involved in mediating the PUFA function. In conclusion, we obtained the full-length porcine ACE2 cDNA sequence and found PUFA could downregulate the expression of ACE2 through its metabolites without changing the expression of their receptor in porcine adipocytes.
