【摘要】 目的:探讨黄芪多糖(Astragalus polysaccharides,APS)对前脂肪细胞增殖、分化的影响及其机制。方法:以XTT法检测3T3-Ll前脂肪细胞的增殖;油红O染色并通过比色定量分析检测3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化过程中胞浆脂质的堆积;采用实时聚合酶链式反应和蛋白质免疫印迹(Western blotting)技术检测前脂肪细胞分化相关基因过氧化物体增殖剂活化受体γ(peroxi some proliferator activated receptorγ,PPARγ)、CAAT/增强子结合蛋白α(CAAT/enhancer binding proteinα,C/EBPα) mRNA以及蛋白质的表达。结果:APS浓度从0.025到0.8g/L,在24、48和72h各时间段对前脂肪细胞的生长均表现为增殖趋势,且呈一定的量效关系;0.4g/L APS处理的前脂肪细胞,胞浆中出现较大量脂滴,其作用与噻唑烷二酮(thiazo-lidinedione,TZD)类药物罗格列酮(rosiglitazone,ROS)相似;APS使前脂肪细胞分化相关基因PPARγ和C/EBPα mRNA与蛋白的表达明显增加,与空白对照组相比,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05,P<0.01)。结论:APS能够促进前脂肪细胞的增殖和分化,增加脂肪细胞分化过程中脂质的堆积,其机制可能与其促进PPARγ和C/EBPα mRNA与蛋白质表达有关。更多还原

【Abstract】 Objective: To observe the effects of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and to elucidate its possible mechanism. Methods: The proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was detected by XTT method. Lipid droplets accumulated in cytoplasm of the differentiated preadipocytes were observed by using red O staining and quantified by colorimetry. The expressions of peroxisome proliferation activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBPα) mRNAs and proteins were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting respectively. Results: APS at different concentrations (0.025-0.8 g/L) affected 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation dose-dependently. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes treated with 0.4 g/L APS had lots of lipid droplets in the cytoplasma, which were similar to cells treated with rosiglitazone (ROS). APS significantly increased the mRNA and protein expressions of PPARγ and C/EBPα (P<0.05, P<0.01, compared with the normal control group) in the course of 3T3-LI preadipocyte differentiation. Conclusion: APS can promote the proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, enhance the accumulation of lipid drops, and increase the terminal differentiation of preadipocytes, which may be associated with its effects in increasing the expressions of PPARγ and C/EBPα mRNAs and proteins. The study suggests that APS has potential in the treatment of metabolic syndrome.更多还原
