Objective To explore the effects of Notch1 on the adipocyte differentiation of bone marrow adipocyte progenitor cells (BMAPCs). Methods The femoral and tibial bone marrow of SD rats was sampled in a sterile manner to prepare cell suspension, which was cultivated by differential adhesion method. The cell surface marker expression was analyzed and detected by flow analysis; the molecular expression of adipose related genes and Notch signaling was detected by means of real-time qPCR. Notch1 gene silencing experiment was divided into non-carrier group and Notch1 small RNA interference group. The interference efficiency was detected by Western blotting; cell fat induction was conducted by STEMPRO Adipogenesis Differentiation Kit. Results BMAPCs expressed CD34, CD44, CD45 and CD90, and six fat-related genes and Notch signaling molecule; fat induction promoted the expression of Notch1 mRNA (P 〈 0.01); Notch1 small RNA interference inhibited the expression of Notch1 protein (P 〈 0.05). The levels of Cebpa, Lpl and Ppaγ, Slc2a4 and Fabp4 mRNA in Notch1 small RNA interference group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the level of preadl mRNA increased greatly(P 〈 0.05 -P 〈 0.01); Notch small RNA interferencesignificantly inhibits the percentage of fat cells (P 〈0.05). Conclusion Notch1 gene silencing inhibits the BMAPCs from differentiating into mature fat cells.
