本实验室前期研究发现,2型糖尿病动物模型ob/ob小鼠血清中miR-122的含量较正常C57BL/6小鼠显著升高.本文进一步研究肝脏特异性miR-122及其靶蛋白AldoA(果糖1,6-二磷酸醛缩酶A)在ob/ob小鼠肝脏代谢中的作用.首先,经qRT-PCR技术检测发现ob/ob小鼠肝脏miR.122水平较C57BL/6小鼠显著下降,而Westernblotting分析发现ob/ob小鼠肝脏其靶蛋白AldoA的表达水平显著上升.进一步以miR-122分子转染293T细胞后收集其分泌的微囊泡(microvesicles,Mrs),经qRT-PCR检测确认后采用特异性荧光染料DiI-C18标记MWs,以不同剂量尾静脉注射BALB/c小鼠体内,不同时间点取肝组织做冰冻切片.在荧光显微镜下观察证实,包裹有miR.122的MVs通过循环系统进入肝脏,同时qRT-PCR定量分析发现肝组织中miR-122含量显著升高,而蛋白质印迹检测发现其靶蛋白AldoA在肝脏中表达显著下降.AldoA主要催化糖酵解途径中果糖1,6-二磷酸和磷酸二羟丙酮及甘油醛-3-磷酸之间的转变,miR-122靶向作用AldoA可能在2型糖尿病的发生发展中发挥重要作用.
In previous study, our group have found that there is a significant increased level of miR-122 in the serum of ob/ob mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes. Here, we further investigated the role of miR-122 targeting AldoA in the liver ofob/ob mice. First, a significant decrease ofmiR-122 level and a notable increase of AldoA expression was found in the liver of the ob/ob mice. Second, mature miR-122 was transfected into 293T cells and then MVs isolated from 293T cells were collected; qRT-PCR was applied to confirm that miR-122 was rich in MVs. Third, specific fluorescent dye DiI-Cls-labeled MVs were injected intravenously into BALB/c mice; the frozen section of liver was observed through fluorescent microscopy. Finally, miR-122 targeting AldoA in the metabolism of ob/ob mice was confirmed by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. AldoA mainly catalysed the transformation between dihydroxyacetone phosphate, glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate and fructose 1, 6 - bisphosphate in glycolytic pathway. MiR-122 may play an important role in the pathologenesis of oh/oh mice through AldoA pathway.
