目的探讨小凹蛋白1(CAV-1)在人皮下和网膜脂肪组织的差异表达,并分析其与肥胖及胰岛素抵抗的关系。方法2009年1至4月在中山大学附属第三医院择期行腹部手术的正常糖调节患者41例,按体质指数(BMI)分为超重组(12例)和正常体重组(29例),采用化学发光法检测两组患者空腹胰岛素(FINS)水平,葡萄糖氧化酶法检测患者空腹血糖(FPG)水平,计算稳态模型的胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA.IR);分别在术中取其皮下和网膜脂肪组织,用半定量反转录(RT)-PCR和Western印迹法检测脂肪组织中CAV.1mRNA和蛋白的表达,并对两组患者皮下和网膜脂肪组织中CAV-1mRNA和蛋白表达水平与BMI、HOMA-IR行相关性分析。结果(1)超重组患者血清FINS及HOMA-IR均高于正常体重组[FINS:(8.82±3.79)mU/L比(6.43±4.38)mU/L,P〈0.05;HOMA-IR:(1.91±0.85比1.36±0.72),均P〈0.05]。(2)正常体重组网膜脂肪组织CAV一1mRNA的表达高于超重组(2.84±0.86比1.02±0.36,P〈0.01),但皮下脂肪组织CAV-1mRNA的表达在两组之间差异无统计学意义(1.93±0.62比1.67±0.73,P〉0.05)。(3)正常体重组网膜脂肪组织CAV-1蛋白表达明显高于超重组(1.68±0.67比0.73±0.29,P〈0.05),而在皮下脂肪组织的表达两组之间差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。(4)网膜脂肪组织CAV一1mRNA表达水平与BMI、腰围、甘油三酯、HOMA.IR均呈负相关(均P〈0.05)。而皮下脂肪组织CAV-1mRNA表达水平与BMI、腰围及HOMA.IR无明显相关关系(均P〉0.05)。结论CAV-1在肥胖和正常体重者的网膜脂肪组织中存在差异表达,CAV-1在网膜脂肪组织的表达下调可能参与肥胖和胰岛素抵抗的发生。
Objective To explore the depot-specific mRNA and protein expression of caveolin-1 ( CAV-1 ) in human subcutaneous and omental adipose tissues and analyze their relationship with obesity and insulin resistance. Methods A total of 41 subjects with normal glucose regulation were recruited. Among them, there were 29 cases with normal body mass index (BMI) and 12 cases with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2. All were scheduled to undergone selective abdominal operations. The levels of fasting insulin (FINS) were measured by chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was tested by glucose oxidase and home model insulin resistance index (I-IOMA-IR) calculated. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were employed to assess the relative mRNA and protein expression of caveolin-1 in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissues. And the mRNA and protein expression of caveolin-1 from different fat depots were compared and their correlations with BMI and HOMA-IR analyzed. Results (1) FINS and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in the overweight and obesity group than those in the normal BMI group (FINS: (8.82±3.79) mU/L vs (6.43±4. 38) mU/L, P 〈 0. 05, HOMA-1R: 1.91 ±0. 85 vs 1.36 ± 0. 72, P 〈 0.05 ). (2) The normal BMI group patients had the higher expression levels of caveolin-1 mRNA in omental adipose tissue than overweight counterparts (2. 84±0. 86 vs 1.02 ± 0. 36, P 〈 0. 01 ). But the difference in subcutaneous adipose tissue was not significant (P 〉0. 05 ). (3)The caveolin-1 protein expression in omental adipose tissue of the normal BMI group was higher than that of overweight patients ( 1.68 ± 0. 67 vs 0. 75 ± 0. 29, P 〈 0.05 ). And the difference between two groups was not significant ( P 〉 0. 05 ). (4) The expressions of caveolin-1 mRNA in omental adipose tissue were negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumstance, triglyceride and HOMA-IR (r = - 0. 441, - 0. 615,
