摘要: 目的 探索胆汁酸牛磺石胆酸或鹅去氧胆酸对小鼠下丘脑GT1-7细胞食欲抑制信号肽表达的影响及可能的作用途径。方法 将实验分为3组,每组3个平行样本。空白对照组:仅给予含10%胎牛血清高糖培养基培养GT1-7细胞。胆汁酸牛磺石胆酸处理组:分别采用10 nmol/L,100 nmol/L,1 μmol/L和10 μmol/L浓度的胆汁酸牛磺石胆酸处理GT1-7细胞12、24和48 h。鹅去氧胆酸处理组:分别采用10 nmol/L,100 nmol/L,1 μmol/L和10 μmol/L浓度的鹅去氧胆酸处理GT1-7细胞12、24和48 h。采用Real-time PCR 检测GT1-7细胞食欲抑制信号肽阿黑皮素原(POMC)mRNA表达水平;ELISA法检测POMC剪切产物抑制食欲肽α-促黑素细胞激素水平。采用Western blot检测G蛋白偶联胆汁酸受体(TGR5)和法呢醇X受体表达以及磷酸化信号转导转录激活因子3(p-STAT3),磷酸化蛋白激酶(p-AKT),细胞因子信号传导抑制因子3(SOCS3)蛋白表达量。结果 Western blot结果显示,下丘脑神经元GT1-7细胞能表达TGR5和FXR两种胆汁酸受体,且表达量受胆汁酸调节。Real-time PCR检测结果显示,10 μmol/L tLCA或鹅去氧胆酸处理GT1-7细胞24 h后POMC mRNA表达水平上升,ElISA结果也发现10 μmol/L 胆汁酸牛磺石胆酸或鹅去氧胆酸处理GT1-7细胞24 h后具有抑制食欲作用的POMC衍生肽[α]-MSH释放增多。Western blot结果显示,胆汁酸处理可上调GT1-7细胞p-STAT3和p-AKT蛋白表达,且调控STAT3信号通路的SOCS3蛋白表达也有增加。结论 胆汁酸牛磺石胆酸或鹅去氧胆酸通过GT1-7细胞胆汁酸受体TGR5和FXR促进POMC mRNA表达,增加[α]-促黑素细胞激素水平,提示胆汁酸具有通过抑制食欲信号肽表达调节食欲的潜在作用,该作用是通过p-AKT和p-STAT3 -SOCS3 信号通路实现。

Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of taurolithocholic acid (tLCA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) on the expression of aorexigenic neuropeptide in mouse hypothalamus GT1-7 cells. Methods Mouse hypothalamic GT1-7 cells were treated with culture medium containing 10% FBS (control group, n=3) or with 10 nmol/L, 100 nmol/L, 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L tLCA (tLCA group, n=3) or CDCA (CDCA group, n=3) for 12, 24 or 48 h. Real-time PCR was performed to determine the expression levels of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA in the cells, and the production levels of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) were assessed using an ELISA kit. Signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 phosphorylation (p-STAT3), threonine kinase phosphorylation (p-AKT), suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), G protein-coupled bile acid receptor-1 (TGR5) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) protein were detected by Western blotting. Results Western blotting results showed that mouse hypothalamic GT1-7 cells expressed two bile acid receptors, TGR5 and FXR, whose expressions were regulated by bile acids. Real-time PCR showed that the expression of POMC mRNA was significantly increased in the cells after treatment with 10 μmol/L tLCA or CDCA for 24 h. POMC-derived anorexigenic peptide α-MSH increased significantly in GT1-7 cells after treatment with 10 μmol/L tLCA or CDCA for 24 h. Treatment of the cells with tLCA or CDCA significantly increased the expressions of intracellular signaling proteins including p-STAT3, p-AKT and SOCS3. Conclusion Mouse hypothalamic GT1-7 cells express bile acid receptors TGR5 and FXR. Bile acids tLCA or CDCA can promote the expression of POMC mRNA and increase the production of the anorexigenic peptide α-MSH. The intracellular signaling proteins p-AKT, p-STAT3 and SOCS3 are likely involved in bile acid-induced anorexigenic peptide production.
