目的探讨内脂素基因过表达对高脂诱导胰岛素抵抗(IR)大鼠胰岛素敏感性的影响。方法构建大鼠内脂素基因真核表达质粒,并用该质粒转染高脂喂养诱导的IR大鼠模型。在转染前后采用两次高胰岛素-正糖钳夹技术评价大鼠胰岛素敏感性的变化。结果成功构建了内脂素真核表达载体pcDNA3.1内脂素。实验组大鼠在pcDNA3.1内脂素质粒注射后3d血浆内脂素水平较注射前明显升高(2.19±0.36 vs 0.98±0.27,P〈0.01);在两次胰岛素钳夹中,pcDNA3.1内脂素质粒注射后葡萄糖输注率较注射前明显升高[(32.6±1.2)mg·kg^-1·min^-1 vs (24.0±1.2)mg·kg^-1·min^-1,P〈0.01];总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇则较质粒注射前明显降低[(2.36±0.22)mmol/L vs (1.60±0.21)mmol/L和(1.41±0.24)mmol/L vs(0.88±0.11)mmol/L,均P〈0.05];在转染前后基础血糖和胰岛素水平无明显变化。结论内脂素质粒转染使IR大鼠血浆内脂素水平升高,胰岛素敏感性增强。
Objective To investigate the effects of visfatin gene overexpression on insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant (IR) rats induced by high-fat diet. Methods The recombinant visfatin plasmid was constructed and transfected into IR rats induced by high-fat diet.The euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp experiments were performed for evaluation the change of insulin sensitivity before and after administration. Results The expression plasmid of visfatin were successfully constructed. After 3 days for plasmid injecting, plasma visfatin levels and glucose infusion rates were significantly increased( 2. 19 ± 0. 36 vs 0. 98 ±0. 27 and 32. 6 ± 1.2 vs 24. 0 ± 1.2 mg·kg^-1·min^-1 , respectively, all P 〈0. 01 ), and total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly decreased( 2. 36 ± 0. 22 vs 1.60 ± 0. 21 mmol/L and 1.41 ± 0. 24 vs 0. 88 ± 0. 11 mmol/L, respectively, all P 〈 0. 05 ) in high-fat diet rats. Conclusion The transfection of visfatin plasmid enhanced plasma visfatin level and improved insulin sensitivity in IR rats induced by high-fat diet.
