目的:探讨游离脂肪酸(free fatty acid,FFA)对3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化的影响及其可能的作用机制。方法:用FFA(100μg/ml)刺激小鼠成纤维细胞株3T3-L1;构建11β-羟化类固醇脱氢酶1(11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1.11β-HSD1)的SiRNA表达质粒pGCsilencer^TM H1/TetO1-11β—HSD1转染到3T3-L1细胞中并稳定表达,Western blot验证转染效率:采用荧光定量PCR检测脂肪细胞分化相关标志基因:过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγ,PPARγ),CAATT增强子结合蛋白α(CAATT enhancer binding proteins α,C/EBPα).脂蛋白脂酶(Lipoprotein lipase.LPL)和脂肪酸合成酶(Fatty acid synthetase,FAS)mRNA表达量的改变以及FFA刺激时11β-HSD1的基因表达水平。结果:FFA刺激后,分化指标PPARγ、C/EBPα、LPL和FAS的mRNA表达量增加,促进了脂肪细胞的分化(P〈0.01);同时11β-HSD1基因的表达增加(P〈0.05);11β-HSD1基因沉默后,分化指标的mRNA表达量降低,脂肪细胞的分化能力下降(P〈0.01)。结论:FFA和11β-HSD1都能促进脂肪细胞分化,FFA的成脂作用可能通过增加11β-HSD1的表达实现。
Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of free fatty acid (FFA) on 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation. Methods: 1 β-HSD1-SiRNA expression plasmid (pGCsilencerTM H1/TetOl-1β-HSD1) was constructed and transfected into 3T3-L1 cells. 100 μg/ml FFA was added to the 3T3-L1 cells. Levels of adipogenesis-associated markers such as Peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptorγ (PPARγ), CCAAT enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and fatty acid synthetase (FAS) were measured. Results:When the cells treated with FFA, mRNA expressions of PPARγC/EBPα,LPL and FAS were upregulated and the expression of 11β-HSD1 also increased. When 11β-HSD1 was silenced, the levels of the markers were downregulated. Condusion:FFA and 11β-HSD1 could promote adipocyte differentiation, and the effect of FFA on adipogenesis carried out through increasing the expression of 1 β-HSD1.
