Leptin was excessively secreted by adipose tissue of obese patients. Studies had shown that excessive leptin could lead to the fibrosis of the liver, kidney and myocardial cells, which was the results of leptin-induced extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling( imbalance of collagen synthesis and degradation). Our previous studies had shown that leptin could increase the expression of collagen II and reduce the expression of MMP-2 in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) which was co-cultured in the three-dimensional(3D) co-culture model. To confirm that leptin can cause vascular ECM remodeling, we will add leptin into the 3D co-culture model in vitro and pump leptin into the body of ob / ob mice (leptin deficiency obese mice) in vivo and then observe the occurrence of the vascular ECM remodeling. Secondly, we had also found that adiponectin could antagonize leptin-induced vascular inflammation. So in this project, we will continue to observe whether adiponectin could alleviate leptin-induced vascular ECM remodeling. Finally, Western blot will be used to detect whether adiponectin could increase the expression of the SOCS-3 (Suppressors of Cytokine signaling ) by activating the AMPK pathway. Because SOCS-3 was one of the inhibitors of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway which was activated by leptin, it is expected to reveal the molecular mechanisms of how adiponectin inhibits leptin-induced vascular ECM remodeling.
肥胖患者的脂肪组织可以过度分泌瘦素,研究表明瘦素过多可以导致肝脏、肾脏和心肌细胞的纤维化,这是瘦素诱导的细胞外基质(ECM)重构(胶原生成与降解失衡)造成的。我们前期研究显示瘦素可以使三维培养的血管内皮细胞(VECs)和血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)的Ⅱ型胶原表达增加以及MMP-2的表达下降。为了进一步证实瘦素可以导致血管ECM重构,本项目体外部分在三维血管模型中加入瘦素,体内部分在ob/ob小鼠(瘦素缺乏肥胖小鼠)中泵入瘦素,然后观察血管ECM重构发生。其次,我们之前的研究显示脂联素可以拮抗瘦素的致血管炎症作用,因此在本项目中我们继续观察脂联素是否可以减弱瘦素的致血管ECM重构作用。最后,用免疫印迹法检测脂联素是否通过激活AMPK途径增加SOCS- 3(细胞因子信号传递抑制体-3)的表达,而后者是瘦素JAK2/STAT3途径的抑制物,这有望阐明脂联素抑制瘦素致血管ECM重构的分子机制。
肥胖患者的脂肪组织可以过度分泌瘦素,研究表明瘦素过多可以导致肝脏、肾脏和心肌细胞的纤维化,这是瘦素诱导的细胞外基质(ECM)重构(胶原生成与降解失衡)造成的。我们前期研究显示瘦素可以使三维培养的血管内皮细胞(VECs)和血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)的Ⅱ型胶原表达增加以及MMP-2 的表达下降。本研究进一步证实了瘦素的致血管ECM 重构作用。本研究的体外部分在三维血管模型中加入瘦素,发现其增加HUASMCs中collagenⅡ/Ⅳ、TIMP-1的表达,降低MMP-2/-9的表达;加入脂联素后,瘦素导致的上述效应消失(P>0.05);Real-time PCR的结果与上述一致。AdipoR1-siRNA和AdipoR2-siRNA均能有效地抑制HUVECs表达上述受体,抑制率分别为71.83±1.45%和74.89±1.12%(P<0.01)。HUVECs的AdipoR1表达缺陷使得脂联素拮抗瘦素的致血管ECM重构效应消失(P<0.01)。Western Blot结果显示与对照组相比较,瘦素增加HUASMCs的p-STAT3水平;单独脂联素对HUASMCs的p-STAT3水平无影响,但脂联素对瘦素诱导的STAT3磷酸化有抑制作用。脂联素增加HUVECs中p-AMPK的水平以及SOCS- 3的表达。同时Compound C可以抑制脂联素拮抗瘦素的致血管ECM重构作用以及脂联素促进HUVECs中SOCS- 3表达的作用。体内部分在ob/ob 小鼠(瘦素缺乏肥胖小鼠)中泵入瘦素,瘦素组体重较空白组及单用脂联素组增长速度缓慢(P<0.05),空白组与单用脂联素组体重增长无明显差异(P>0.05)。大体及镜下切片均未见动脉粥样硬化形成但单用瘦素组血管较其他三组有明显增粗,HE染色观察到了血管有ECM 重构的表现,免疫组化发现血管组织collagenⅡ/Ⅳ、TIMP-1的表达增加, MMP-2/-9的表达降低。联合使用脂联素组,瘦素导致的上述效应消失(P>0.05);Real-time PCR的结果与上述一致。Western Blot结果显示与对照组相比较,单独瘦素组增加HUASMCs的p-STAT3水平;单独脂联素对HUASMCs的p-STAT3水平无影响,联合脂联素组对瘦素诱导的STAT3磷酸化有抑制作用。脂联素组HUVECs中的SOCS- 3的表达增加。我们的结论是:瘦素可以
