猪前体脂肪细胞的分离培养

在比较组织块法和消化法分离培养猪前体脂肪细胞的基础上,通过对前体脂肪细胞增殖与分化过程中细胞的形态学变化、生长曲线、油红O染色以及脂肪细胞特异性标志基因脂蛋白脂酶（lipoprotein lipase,LPL）和过氧化物体增殖剂活化受体γ（peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ,PPARγ）表达的研究,证明用消化法可从猪的脂肪组织中分离获得大量的前体脂肪细胞,其生长旺盛,可见自发充脂;传代细胞经诱导培养后,充脂率大幅度提高,脂肪特异性标志基因表达增强。这为深入研究脂肪细胞增殖与分化以及猪体脂肪沉积提供了一个较好的模型。     

Expression of CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Proteins during Porcine Preadipocyte Differentiation

The expression of three CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) was examined with immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis during preadipocyte differentiation in porcine stromal vascular (S-V) cell cultures. Regardless of treatment and time in culture, immunoreactivity for all three C/EBP isoforms was restricted to cell nuclei. At day 1, 50 ± 6% of S-V cells were C/EBPδ positive, whereas 13 ± 3 and 11.7 ± 3% of S-V cells were AD-3 and C/EBPα positive, respectively. After 3 days of seeding in fetal bovine serum (FBS) and dexamethasone (DEX), C/EBPδ; AD-3, and C/EBPα-positive cells increased to 67 ± 5, 42 ± 4, and 32 ± 3%, respectively. Double staining clearly showed that most of the C/EBPα reactive cells had not accumulated appreciable lipid after 3 days of FBS + DEX. Following 3 days of insulin treatment, the percentage of C/EBPδ cells was 50 ± 6, whereas the percentage of AD-3- and C/EBPα-positive cells was 41 ± 4 and 31 ± 3, respectively. After insulin treatment all fat cells were AD-3, C/EBPα, and C/EBPδ positive. Double staining demonstrated that fat cells were C/EBPδ reactive throughout the culture period. Western blotting showed changes in C/EBP isoform expression that were consistent with the immunocytochemical results. We conclude that C/EBPα is a terminal differentiation marker which is expressed later than AD-3 but further studies are needed to determine the relationship between C/EBPδ and adipogenesis in porcine S-V cultures.     

原代猪前体脂肪细胞培养方法的优化

以胎猪皮下脂肪组织为材料,比较不同培养方法、消化酶、筛网孔径和离心力对培养猪前体脂肪细胞的影响。结果表明,组织块法与消化法均可培养出猪前体脂肪细胞,但组织块法培养的原代细胞中分化为成熟的细胞较少,消化法获得的细胞均匀一致,形态学染色鉴定大部分均可分化为脂肪细胞;在用消化法培养的过程中,采用Ⅳ型胶原酶消化脂肪组织,200目筛网孔径、800g离心力离心5min可获得大量的、纯度均一的细胞。可以认为,实验成功建立了猪前体脂肪细胞培养的优化体系,在体外重现了猪前体脂肪细胞增殖肥大的全过程。     

Preadipocyte Recruitment in Stromal Vascular Cultures After Depletion of Committed Preadipocytes by Immunocytotoxicity

Glucocorticoids or the glucocorticoid analog dexamethasone (DEX) enhances the differentiation of preadipocytes in the presence of insulin and influences preadipocyte proliferation. The purpose of the present study was to determine if DEX can induce the recruitment of preadipocytes. Using monoclonal antibodies for complement-mediated cytotoxicity, preadipocytes were removed from porcine stromal vascular (S-V) cell cultures. Our experiments demonstrated for the first time that after removal of preadipocytes by cytotoxicity, preadipocytes or fat cells could be induced by DEX or DEX plus insulin but not by insulin alone. However, many more fat cells were induced (258 ± 15/unit area) when DEX was added with fetal bovine serum (FBS) followed with insulin treatment, compared to DEX with insulin (21.3 ± 5.1/ unit area) after removal of preadipocytes. Immunocyto-chemistry with AD-3, a preadipocyte marker, showed that DEX with FBS for 3 days after seeding (i.e., the proliferation phase) produced many more preadipocytes (AD-3 positive, 223 ± 45/unit area) than FBS alone (10.5 ± 1.4/unit area). Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assays demonstrated that the efficiency of DEX with FBS (i.e., during proliferation) was mitosis dependent. Accordingly, we conclude that: porcine S-V cultures contain preadipocytes at different stages of differentiation and that DEX induced early preadipocyte differentiation depends on mitosis.

Role of Phosphotyrosine Interaction Domain Containing 1 in Porcine Intramuscular Preadipocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Phosphotyrosine interaction domain containing 1 (PID1), a recently identified gene involved in obesity-associated insulin resistance, plays an important role in fat deposition. However, its effect on porcine intramuscular preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation remains poorly understood. In this study, the plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-pPID1 was transfected into porcine intramuscular preadipocytes with Lipofectamine 3000 reagent to over-express porcine PID1 (pPID1). Over-expression of pPID1 significantly promoted porcine intramuscular preadipocyte proliferation. Expression of pPID1 mRNA was significantly increased upon porcine intramuscular preadipocyte differentiation. Indirect fluorescent immunocytochemistry demonstrated that pPID1 protein was localized predominantly in the nucleus of porcine intramuscular preadipocyte. The mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α and lipoprotein lipase were significantly increased by pPID1 over-expression. Over-expression of pPID1 also led to an increase in lipid accumulation which was detected by Oil Red O staining, and significantly increased the intramuscular triacylglycerol content. These results indicate that pPID1 may play a role in enhancing porcine intramuscular preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation.     

Txnip基因siRNA慢病毒表达质粒构建及促进猪前体脂肪细胞分化

硫氧还蛋白互作蛋白(thioredoxin interacting protein, Txnip)是一种氧化还原调节蛋白质,与硫氧还蛋白结合并抑制其活性,调节细胞氧化还原状态,影响细胞多种生理过程,然而其在猪脂肪细胞分化中的作用尚不明确。本文设计合成3对靶向猪Txnip基因的shRNA寡核苷酸,分别连接于重组慢病毒载体pGLV_3/H_1/GFP+Puro构建siRNA表达质粒。测序验证后,与包装质粒共转染293T细胞,获得滴度1×10~8 pfu/mL的慢病毒干扰质粒。以MOI值100转染原代培养猪前体脂肪细胞,转染率均达80%以上,其中Txnip-shRNA-2转染细胞Txnip基因沉默率达75%。转染Txnip-shRNA-2的猪前体脂肪细胞用成脂分化培养液诱导后,每隔1 d检测细胞成脂分化及相关基因表达。结果发现,其分化比阴性对照质粒转染或未转染细胞显著增强(P<0.05),PPARγ和FAS mRNA表达水平显著提高(P<0.05)。本文构建siRNA慢病毒表达质粒能有效干扰猪Txnip基因表达,Txnip表达沉默可通过上调PPARγ表达促进猪前体脂肪细胞分化。本研究提示,Txnip可能是猪脂肪细胞分化的抑制因子。     

Preadipocyte Screening by Laminin in Porcine Stromal Vascular Cell Cultures

Objective : To determine if subpopulations of cells in stromal vascular (S-V) cultures could be segregated and separated based on affinity for laminin substratum. Research Methods and Procedures : S-V cells were seeded and allowed to attach for various times; 4 hours was found to be optimal for cell attachment. Cultures were rinsed after 4 hours of seeding, and S-V cells were divided into three subpopulations based on affinity for laminin: (1) cells that did not attach to laminin; (2) cells that had a low affinity for laminin; and (3) cells that had a high affinity for laminin. After 24 hours, cultures were either stained for the AD-3 antigen (a marker for preadipocytes), C/EBP-α (a terminal differentiation marker), or C/EBP-8 (an early preadipocyte marker). Companion cultures were treated with various media for 9 days and stained with oil red-O. Results : Cells with a high affinity for laminin had the highest proportion of AD-3 and C/EBP-α positive cells and the highest proportion of fat cells after treatment with insulin ± dexamethasone. Cells with a low affinity for laminin had the1 highest proportion of C/EBP-8 cells and the highest proportion of fat cells after treatment with fetal bovine serum+dexamethasone, followed by insulin. Discussion : These results indicate that differentiating preadipocytes adhere to laminin to a much greater degree than do non-preadipocytes. Therefore, laminin-coated dishes can be used to screen S-V cells to produce preadipocyte or fibroblast-enriched S-V cultures.

Obesity and Elevated Plasma Leptin Concentration in oMT1A‐o Growth Hormone Transgenic Mice

OBERBAUER, A. M., JONATHAN A. RUNSTADLER, JAMES D. MURRAY, AND PETER J. HAVEL. Obesity and elevated plasma leptin concentration in oMT1A‐o growth hormone transgenic mice. Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate plasma leptin concentration in the regulatable ovine metallothionein‐ovine growth hormone (oMT1a‐oGH) transgenic (TG) mouse model of obesity. Research Methods and Procedures: Transgene stimulus (zinc) was provided at 21 days of age to male and female wild‐type (WT) and TG mice. Plasma leptin concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay at 42, 63, 84, and 105 days of age and from inactivated TG mice at 84 and 105 days. Results: WT and TG mice did not differ significantly in plasma leptin concentration at any of the ages examined (42, 63, 84, and 105 days), although females showed consistently higher plasma leptin concentrations than males regardless of genotype throughout the duration of the study. Male and female TG mice in which the transgene was inactivated at 63 days had a 1.5‐fold to 3.5‐fold increase in plasma leptin concentration over WT mice and continuously activated TG mice at 84 and 105 days of age. The elevated plasma leptin concentration seen in the inactivated TG mice at 84 and 105 days of age reflects the >300% increase in white adipose tissue seen in this model and correlated with all adipose depot weights and overall body lipid at these later ages. When plasma leptin was expressed per gram of total body fat, the leptin adjusted for body lipid was significantly higher in WT mice than either continuously activated TG or activated and then inactivated TG groups. Discussion: The inactivated TG mice in this study had higher plasma leptin levels with increasing total body adiposity, but the relative proportion of circulating leptin, on a total body lipid basis, was reduced when compared with the WT mice. This reduction was also observed in activated TG mice at the older ages. Although the absolute levels of circulating leptin were elevated in the inactivated TG animals, the amount of leptin produced per gram of fat was lowered. With the inactivation of the transgene, the leptin remained depressed after the removal of the elevated growth hormone. This represents a potential explanation for the ensuing hypertrophy of the fat depots and the abnormal phenotypic response of inactivated TG mice to elevated plasma leptin concentrations resulting in the development of obesity.

大鼠前体脂肪细胞分化过程中波形纤维形态结构的变化和波形纤维蛋白基因表达的研究

通过对不同分化阶段的大鼠前体脂肪细胞中波形纤维蛋白的结构形态和分布的间接免疫荧光观察,发现随着前体脂肪细胞的分化,波形纤维形态结构发生特异性改变,即从前期的围绕细胞核聚集且向细胞周边平行延伸到后期的围绕脂滴间隔形成致密笼状结构。此外,通过地高辛标记的寡核苷酸探针的原位杂交和免疫印迹研究了前体脂肪细胞的分化对波形纤维蛋白基因表达的影响。结果表明,分子量为57kD的波形纤维蛋白在mRNA水平和蛋白水平的表达贯穿于前体脂肪细胞分化的全过程,表达量呈递减趋势。这提示在前体脂肪细胞分化中,波形纤维与脂滴的特异性结合对于脂滴的前体脂肪细胞分化有着功能性的联系,特别是对脂肪细胞的脂滴形成极可能起到支撑的作用。

脂肪细胞分化作用及其分子调控机理

肥胖症是影响人类健康的严重问题之一。在过去的十年中,对脂肪细胞的生物功能和分化作用的分子机理的了解方面取得了突破性的进展。脂肪组织不仅是被动的能量贮存场所,同时还是能够分泌多种生物活性物质的器官。已发现多种能调节脂肪细胞分化的转录因子。看来Ｃ／ＥＢＰα和ＰＰＡＲγ很可能是调节这种分化过程的主控基因。
