目的:探讨γ-干扰素(IFN-γ)诱导小鼠系膜细胞内脂质沉积的可能机制。方法:常规培养的小鼠系膜细胞(MMC)分为正常对照组、刺激组、刺激+空质粒组(sh-HMGB1)和刺激+质粒组(sh-SREBP-1);油红O染色观察细胞内脂质沉积;RT-PCR检测HMGB1、SREBP-1和脂肪酸合成酶(FAS)mRNA表达;Wesern blot检测蛋白表达。结果:油红O检测显示IFN-γ刺激组MMC细胞中出现明显脂滴;IFN-γ刺激能够上调HMGB、SREBP-1和FASmRNA及蛋白表达;沉默HMGB1能够降低IFN-γ诱导的SREBP-1和FAS上调,并减少细胞内脂质沉积;沉默SREBP-1能够减少HMGB诱导的MMC细胞内脂质沉积。结论:IFN-γ可能通过上调HMGB/SREBP-1/FAS的表达促进小鼠系膜细胞内脂滴沉积。
Objective: To explore the possible mechanism of lipid deposition induced by interferon-γ(IFN-γ).Methods: The mouse mesangial cells(MMC) were randomly divided into control group,stimulation group,stimulation+control vector group(sh-HMGB1) and stimulation+specific sh-vector group(sh-SREBP-1). RTPCR was used to detect the expression of HMGB1,SREBP-1 and fatty acid synthetase(FAS) mRAN;the protein expression was determined by Western blot.Results: The Oil Red O staining revealed that the mouse mesangial cells showed significant lipid droplet in IFN-γ group.IFN-γ up-regulated the expression of HMGB1,SREBP-1,FAS mRNA and protein time-dependently;Transfection of MMC with HMGB1 siRNA resulted in the suppression of SREBP-1,FAS protein levels induced by IFN-γ,following with decrease of lipid deposition.Stimulation with HMGB1 markedly induced expression of SREBP-1,FAS expression and peaked at 8 h,decreased at 12 h compared with that at 8 h.Sh-SREBP-1 decreased the lipid deposition induced by HMGB1 in MMC.Conclusion: IFN-γ might induce lipid deposition in mouse mesangial cells partly by up-regulating the expression of HMGB1/SREBP-1/FAS.
