摘要
采用细胞转染、油红O染色、油红O染色提取法、GPDH活性测定、semi-qRT-PCR等方法研究了视黄酸X受体α(retinoic acid X receptorα,RXRα)在猪原代前体脂肪细胞分化中的作用及其机理.结果表明,转染pRXRα-EGFP促进了猪前体脂肪细胞RXRα的表达,脂肪细胞分化能力随之增强,脂肪细胞GPDH活性、分化转录因子PPARγ和C/EBPα mRNA表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05).结果提示,RXRα可能通过调控过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ,PPARγ)和CAAT/增强子结合蛋白家族(CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins,C/EBP)C/EBPα基因表达变化促进猪前体脂肪细胞分化.
The effects of retinoic acid X receptor α (RXRα) overexpression were studied during the differentiation of porcine adipocytes by various assays, such as plasmid transfection, oil red O extraction, GPDH activity measurement and semi-qRT-PCR. The results showed that with the increased level of pRXRα- EGFP following transfection to primary cultured porcine preadipocytes, preadipocytes differentiation with morphological changes of adipocytes was observed. Meanwhile, GPDH activity and the expression level of differentiation transcription factors PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ) and C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins) were significantly increased (P 〈 0.05). The data implies that RXRα promotes differentiation of porcine adipocytes by enhancing the PPARγ and C/EBPα mediated pathway.
