摘要: 目的 介绍一种可对ghrelin(胃促生长素,俗称饥饿素)刺激产生反应的细胞系,并观察ghrelin对刺鼠相关蛋白(agouti-related protein,AgRP)基因表达的影响。 方法 通过蛋白印迹(Western blotting)法检测证实GT1-7细胞是否具有ghrelin可以结合的生长激素促分泌素受体(growth hormone secretagogue receptor ,GHSR);通过给予GT1-7细胞血清饥饿,以及在含血清状态下给予不同时间ghrelin刺激或不同浓度的ghrelin刺激,经实时定量聚合酶链式反应(real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, RT-qPCR)检验AgRP mRNA表达量差异。 结果 GT1-7细胞具有GHSR;血清饥饿显著增加了GT1-7细胞的AgRP mRNA表达(P<0.001);在含血清状态下,与空白对照组及ghrelin刺激1 h组比较,ghrelin刺激3 h组可使GT1-7细胞AgRP mRNA的表达显著增加(P=0.002,P=0.008);在含血清状态下,低浓度(10、50 nmol/L)ghrelin显著低于高浓度(100 nmol/L)ghrelin刺激的AgRP mRNA表达(P=0.021,P=0.016)。 结论 血清饥饿可以使GT1-7细胞增加AgRP mRNA的表达。Ghrelin即使在含血清状态下也可以刺激GT1-7细胞增加AgRP mRNA表达,并且为时间及浓度依赖。因此,GT1-7细胞可作为研究下丘脑神经元对AgRP调控,以及下丘脑神经元对其他代谢功能的调节,尤其是其背后分子机制研究的体外模型。

Abstract: Objective To establish a cell line that responds to ghrelin, and to observe the effect of ghrelin induced AgRP gene expression. Methods Western blotting was used to determine the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) expression in GT1-7 cell line. And real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was carried out to determine the AgRP gene expression upon serum starving or upon ghrelin treatment in dose and time dependent manner with serum.The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard error (x±SE) independent samples t-test was used for comparison between two groups, and ANOVA (least significant difference method) was used for two-way comparison if the overall variance of data among three or four groups is equal. Results Western blotting data revealed that GT1-7 cell line expressed GHSR protein.Furthermore, serum-starvation significantly increased AgRP mRNA (P<0.001).3 hours of ghrelin treatment increased the expression of AgRP mRNA in a non-serum-starvation experiment compared with control (P=0.002) and 1 hour of ghrelin treatment (P=0.008).Additionally, while 10 nmol/L and 50 nmol/L ghrelin increased AgPP mRNA expression in a similar attitude, the 100 nmol/L of ghrelin shown even further induction of AgPP mRNA expression in non-serum-starvation experiments in GT1-7 cell lines. Conclusion Taken together, our data identified that the hypothalamic GT1-7 cell line that responds to serum-starvation and ghrelin stimulation in a time-and dose-dependent manner in terms of AgRP mRNA expression.Thus, GT1-7 cell can be used as an in vitro model to study the regulation of AgRP by hypothalamic neurons, as well as the regulation of other metabolic functions by hypothalamic neurons, especially the molecular mechanisms behind them.
