摘要:

目的 探讨miR-451通过腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)信号通路调控3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化的作用。方法 将3T3-L1细胞随机分为Control组、阴性对照(NC)组、miR-451 mimics组和miR-451 inhibitor组。采用实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(qRT-PCR)检测miR-451表达,油红O染色观察脂滴形成情况,萤光素酶报告基因试验验证miR-451与钙结合蛋白39(CAB39)的靶向关系,Western blot检测AMPK、哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)表达。构建AMPK表达下调的3T3-L1细胞,分为NC-N.A组、miR-451 mimics-N.A组和miR-451 inhibitor-N.A组,检测甘油三酯(TG)水平。结果 3T3-L1细胞诱导分化为成熟脂肪细胞7 d后,miR-451表达升高(P<0.05)。与Control组和NC组相比,miR-451 mimics组miR-451表达水平升高,油红O染色显示脂滴体积增大,染色加深;miR-451 inhibitor组则呈现相反变化(P<0.05)。双萤光素酶报告实验证实CAB39是miR-451的靶基因。Western blot检测结果显示,与Control组、NC组相比,miR-451 mimics组p-AMPK表达下降,p-mTOR表达升高(P<0.05);miR-451 inhibitor组p-AMPK表达升高,p-mTOR表达下降(P<0.05)。在AMPK敲低的3T3-L1细胞中上调或下调miR-451不影响TG的生成。结论 miR-451可促进3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化,该过程与miR-451抑制AMPK信号通路有关。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of miR-451 in regulating the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Methods 3T3-L1 cells were randomly divided into the control group, the NC group, the miR-451 mimics group and the miR-451 inhibitor group. The expression of miR-451 was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Lipid droplet formation was observed by Oil Red O staining. The targeting relationship between miR-451 and calcium-binding protein 39 (CAB39) was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The protein expressions of AMPK and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were detected by Western blot assay. 3T3-L1 cells with AMPK knockdown were constructed and divided into the NC-N.A group, the miR-451 mimics-N.A group and the miR-451 inhibitor-N.A group. Triglyceride (TG) levels were measured. Results After 7 days of induced differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells into mature adipocytes, the expression of miR-451 was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group volume and the NC group, the miR-451 mimics group showed significantly increased miR-451 expression, larger lipid droplets volume and deeper Oil Red O staining (P<0.05). In contrast, the miR-451 inhibitor group exhibited the opposite changes (P<0.05). The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that CAB39 was a direct target gene of miR-451. Western blot results showed that, compared with the control group and the NC group, p-AMPK expression decreased, and p-mTOR expression increased in the miR-451 mimics group (P<0.05), while p-AMPK expression increased and p-mTOR expression decreased in the miR-451 inhibitor group (P<0.05). In AMPK-knockdown 3T3-L1 cells, neither overexpression nor inhibition of miR-451 affected TG production. Conclusion miR-451 can promote the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, and this process is associated with the inhibition of the AMPK signaling pathway by miR-451.
