中文摘要:
      摘要 目的:脂滴快速融合是增大脂滴直径的方式之一,但其研究相对少。本研究旨在建立脂滴快速融合的细胞模型,以便对其进行深入的生物学研究。方法:本研究使用大鼠肾成纤维细胞系NRK和小鼠前脂肪细胞系3T3-L1两种细胞系,先用油酸诱导细胞内产生大量脂滴,再使用饥饿缓冲液培养细胞,利用显微镜实时观测技术跟踪脂滴动态变化,建立脂滴快速融合的模型。而后在此模型中,加入自噬抑制剂或者以过表达CCT为阳性对照,过表达PAT蛋白(PLIN1、ADRP和TIP47),来探究它们在调控脂滴快速融合方面的功能。结果:饥饿缓冲液处理约3小时可诱导细胞发生脂滴快速融合,其融合速率很快,从脂滴接触到融合完成可发生在20秒内,显然不同于CIDE蛋白调控的缓慢脂滴融合过程。自噬抑制剂可以抑制自噬,但是并没有显著影响脂滴快速融合,说明饥饿诱导的脂滴快速融合不依赖于自噬。另发现,与过表达GFP相比,过表达定位于脂滴的GFP-CCT、GFP-PLIN1、GFP-ADRP或GFP-TIP47均能显著性抑制快速融合导致的脂滴变大的现象。结论:本研究建立了饥饿缓冲液诱导脂滴发生快速融合的细胞模型,并证明PAT蛋白(PLIN1、ADRP、TIP47)能抑制脂滴快速融合。
英文摘要:
      ABSTRACT Objective: Lipid droplet coalescence is one of the ways to effectively increase lipid droplet (LD) size. However, compared with other methods, this method is less researched. This study aimed to establish a cell model of LD coalescence for its further biological study. Methods: Two cell lines, namely rat kidney fibroblast cell line NRK and mouse pre-adipocyte cell line 3T3-L1, were cultured with oleic acid (OA) to induce a large number of cytosolic LDs. To establish lipid droplet coalescence model, the cells were cultured with starvation buffer, and the dynamic changes of LDs were tracked by time-lapse observation with confocal microscopy. Then, by adding autophagy inhibitors or overexpressing PAT proteins (PLIN1/ADRP/TIP47) with overexpressing CCT as a positive control, their roles in regulating LD coalescence were studied in this model. Results: Starvation-induced LD coalescence was obviously observed about 3 hours after the starvation buffer treatment. The LD coalescence process was characterized by a fast fusion as we observed the process could be completed within 20 seconds from two LDs contact to their fusion into a large LD. The coalescence process was different from CIDE-mediated LD fusion which was a slow process. Autophagy inhibitors could inhibit autophagy, but did not significantly alter LD coalescence, indicating that starvation-induced LD coalescence did not depend on autophagy. Further, compared with overexpressing GFP, overexpressing LD proteins, including GFP-CCT, GFP-PLIN1, GFP-ADRP, or GFP-TIP47, significantly blocked LD diameter increase caused by starvation-induced LD coalescence. Conclusion: This study established a starvation-induced LD coalescence cell model and demonstrated PAT proteins (PLIN1, ADRP, TIP47) inhibited LD coalescence.
