摘要:

文题释义:
miRNA:为小非编码RNA,控制多种基因表达,在肥胖及其他代谢综合征中,特别在脂肪细胞分化和增殖过程中扮演重要角色。
脂肪酸结合蛋白4(FABP4):在脂肪组织中高表达,作为脂质伴侣蛋白,对于维持脂肪细胞稳态、调节脂肪细胞生成及分解有重要作用。
背景:一些研究已经证实了miR-26b、PTEN-PI3K-AKT通路及脂肪酸结合蛋白4在脂肪细胞分化过程中的作用,但其是否存在相互作用以及分子机制尚未见报道。
目的:探讨miR-26b通过PTEN-PI3K-AKT通路调控脂肪酸结合蛋白4介导脂肪细胞分化的分子机制。
方法:取3T3-L1前脂肪细胞为对照组,分化成熟的3T3-L1细胞为分化组,转染miR-26b inhibitor的3T3-L1细胞为转染组,转染miR-26b inhibitor的3T3-L1细胞再诱导分化成熟为转染分化组。分化组和转染分化组细胞进行油红O染色观察成熟脂肪细胞内脂滴形成情况。荧光定量PCR方法检测4组细胞内miR-26b以及脂肪酸结合蛋白4、PTEN、PI3K、AKT mRNA表达,Western blot 方法检测4组细胞内脂肪酸结合蛋白4、PTEN、PI3K、AKT蛋白表达。
结果与结论:①miR-26b在3T3-L1细胞分化后表达量明显升高(P < 0.05),提示其可能参与细胞分化的调节;抑制细胞内miR-26b水平,可以抑制3T3-L1细胞向脂肪细胞分化,减少细胞内脂滴积累;②3T3-L1细胞分化后细胞内PI3K、AKT、脂肪酸结合蛋白4 mRNA及蛋白表达明显增加(P均< 0.01),PTEN mRNA表达增加(P < 0.05),但蛋白水平无明显变化(P > 0.05),提示3T3-L1细胞分化过程中PI3K-AKT通路激活,脂肪酸结合蛋白4水平升高;③下调细胞内miR-26b水平的分化后细胞较正常分化细胞脂肪酸结合蛋白4、PI3K、AKT mRNA及蛋白表达量减少 (P均< 0.01),PTEN mRNA及蛋白表达量增高(P均< 0.05),提示抑制miR-26b明显促进PTEN mRNA及蛋白表达,从而抑制PI3K-AKT通路,降低脂肪酸结合蛋白4 mRNA及蛋白表达,抑制3T3-L1细胞分化。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The roles of miR-26b, PTEN-PI3K-AKT pathway and fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) in the process of adipocyte differentiation have been confirmed, but whether there is an interaction and their molecular mechanisms have not been reported yet.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular mechanism by which miR-26b regulates FABP4-mediated adipocyte differentiation through the PTEN-PI3K-AKT pathway. 
METHODS: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were set as control group, 3T3-L1 cells maturely differentiated as differentiation group, 3T3-L1 cells transfected with miR-26b inhibitor as transfection group, and 3T3-L1 cells that were transfected with miR-26b inhibitor and then induced to differentiate were used as transfected differentiation group. Oil red O staining observed lipid droplets in mature adipocytes in the differentiation group and transfected differentiation group. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of miR-26b and FABP4, PTEN, PI3K and AKT in the cells. Western blot assay was used to identify the protein expression of FABP4, PTEN, PI3K and AKT in the cells. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The expression of miR-26b was significantly increased after 3T3-L1 cell differentiation (P < 0.05), suggesting that it may be involved in the regulation of cell differentiation. Inhibiting the level of miR-26b in the cells could inhibit the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells into adipocytes and reduce the accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets. (2) The mRNA and protein expression of PI3K, AKT, and FABP4 in the 3T3-L1 cells increased significantly after differentiation (P < 0.01). Although PTEN mRNA expression increased (P < 0.05), the protein level did not change obviously (P > 0.05), suggesting that during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells, the PI3K-AKT pathway in the cells is activated and the level of FABP4 is increased. (3) Compared with normal differentiated cells, the mRNA and protein expressions of FABP4, PI3K, and AKT in differentiated cells in which the level of intracellular miR-26b was downregulated were significantly decreased (P < 0.01), while the mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN increased (P < 0.05), suggesting that inhibition of miR-26b significantly promoted mRNA and protein expression of PTEN, thereby inhibited PI3K-AKT pathway, reduced mRNA and protein expression of FABP4, and then inhibited 3T3-L1 cell differentiation.
