吡格列酮对前脂肪细胞分化及GILZ蛋白表达的影响

目的:探讨吡格列酮在3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化及糖皮质激素诱导亮氨酸拉链(GILZ)蛋白表达调节方面的作用。方法:形态观察3T3-L1细胞分化过程,不同浓度吡格列酮(1×10~(-4)mmol/L~1×10~(-2)mmol/L)处理细胞48 h,然后于分化的第2、4、6天用油红O染色测定细胞甘油三酯相对含量,实时荧光定量PCR法检测过氧化物增殖活化受体(PPAR)γ2和脂蛋白酶(LPL)的mRNA表达。不同浓度药物处理细胞48 h后,Western blot检测GILZ蛋白表达。结果:油红O法显示甘油三酯相对含量随药物处理浓度的增加而增加,与对照组比,1×10~(-3)mmol/L和1×10~(-2)mmol/L组甘油三酯含量显著性增加(P0.05)。实时荧光定量PCR检测显示PPARγ2、LPL的mRNA表达也是随着药物处理浓度的增加而增加。与对照组比,吡格列酮高于1×10~(-3)mmol/L浓度时,PPARγ2、LPL的mRNA表达显著性增加(P0.01)。Western blot显示GILZ蛋白表达随着药物处理浓度的增加而降低。结论:吡格列酮可下调GILZ表达,上调PPARγ2及下游LPL的表达。

Effect of pioglitazone on pre-adipocytes differentiation and GILZ expression

AIM: To investigate the roles of pioglitazone on differentiation and expression of GILZ in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. METHODS: The morphological changes during 3T3-L1 cell differentiation were observed. The cells were treated with pioglitazone at concentrations of 1×10^-4～1×10^-2 mmol/L for 48 h, then the relative content of triglyceride were analyzed by oil red O staining at 2nd, 4th and 6th day during adipogenesis. The mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was measured by real-time PCR. GILZ protein expression was determined by Western blot after the cells were treated with pioglitazone at concentrations of 1×10^-4 ～1×10^-2 mmol/L for 48 h.RESULTS: Oil-red O staining showed that the relative contents of triglyceride in adipocytes were increased with the increase in the pioglitazone concentration. Compared with the control, the relative contents of triglyceride in group 1×10^-3 mmol/L and group 1×10^-2 mmol/L were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of PPARγ2 and LPL was also increased with the increase in the pioglitazone concentration. When pioglitazone concentration was more than 1×10^-3 mmol/L, compared with the control, the mRNA expression of PPARγ2 and LPL significantly increased (P < 0.01). The protein expression of GILZ was decreased with the increase in the pioglitazone concentration.CONCLUSION: Pioglitazone down-regulates GILZ expression, and up-regulate PPARγ2 expression and the downstream functional factor such as LPL.
