[摘要] 目的 探讨丹蛭降糖胶囊对高脂饮食诱导的肥胖大鼠骨骼肌内质网应激(ERs)相关因子肌醇需求激酶1α(IRE1α)、磷酸化IRE1α(p-IRE1α)、c-jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)、磷酸化JNK(p-JNK)表达的影响。 方法 30只雄性SD大鼠随机分为普通饮食组(NC组)、单纯高脂饮食组(HF组)、高脂饮食+丹蛭降糖胶囊组(FD组),每组各10只。应用全自动生化分析仪测定骨骼肌三酰甘油(TG)含量;Western blot检测骨骼肌组织IRE1α、p-IRE1α、JNK、p-JNK的蛋白表达水平。 结果 ①NC组、HF组以及FD组骨骼肌内TG含量分别为(1.87±0.72)、(3.03±0.71)、(2.71±0.58)μmol/g。与NC组比较,HF组大鼠骨骼肌TG含量显著增高(P = 0.005);与HF组比较,FD组大鼠骨骼肌TG含量明显下降(P = 0.024)。②Western blot检测结果显示,HF组p-IRE1α/IRE1α及p-JNK/JNK较NC组明显升高(P < 0.05);FD组p-IRE1α/IRE1α及p-JNK/JNK较HF组明显降低(P < 0.05)。③Pearson相关性分析发现,大鼠骨骼肌TG含量与HOMA-IR、p-IRE1α/IRE1α及p-JNK/JNK均呈正相关(r = 0.63、0.66、0.57,均P < 0.01)。 结论 丹蛭降糖胶囊可减轻骨骼肌脂质沉积,调节ERs相关IRE1α-JNK通路,从而改善骨骼肌胰岛素抵抗。

[Abstract] Objective To investigate the effect of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule on the expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERs) related factors including IRE1α, p-IRE1α, JNK and p-JNK in skeletal muscle in obese rats fed with high-fat diet. Methods 30 Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into basal diet group (NC group, n = 10), untreated high-fat diet group (HF group, n = 10), high-fat diet plus Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule (FD group, n = 10). The contents of triglyceride in skeletal muscle were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer, and protein expression of IRE1α, p-IRE1α, JNK and p-JNK were determined by Western blot analysis. Results ①The contents of triglyceride in skeletal muscle in the NC group, HF group and FD group were (1.87±0.72), (3.03±0.71), (2.71±0.58) μmol/g, respectively. Compared with the NC group, the contents of triglyceride in skeletal muscle in the HF group were reduced significantly (P = 0.005). In addition, the content of triglyceride in skeletal muscle in the FD group was significantly higher than that in the NC group (P = 0.024). ②Western blot analysis revealed that p-IRE1α/IRE1α and p-JNK/JNK in skeletal muscle in the HF group were significantly higher than those in the NC group (P < 0.05). Compared with the HF group, p-IRE1α/IRE1α and p-JNK/JNK in skeletal muscle of the FD group were decreased significantly (P < 0.05). ③Pearson correlation analysis showed that the contents of triglyceride in skeletal muscle were positive correlated with HOMA-IR , p-IRE1α/IRE1α and p-JNK/JNK (r = 0.63, 0.66, 0.57, all P < 0.01). Conclusion Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule can reduce lipid deposition in skeletal muscle, regulate ERs related IRE1α-JNK signaling pathway, thus improve skeletal insulin resistance.

目前普遍认为,外周组织的胰岛素抵抗(IR)是2型糖尿病(T2DM)发病的主要病理生理机制之一,其中骨骼肌是IR发生的主要位点[1]。肥胖或T2DM状态下,脂质在骨骼肌中的异位沉积,可导致骨骼肌IR程度进一步加重[2]。近年来内质网应激(ERs)在骨骼肌IR发病机制中的作用逐渐引起人们的关注[3-4]。有研究认为,肌醇需求激酶1α(IRE1α)-c-jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)介导的ERs信号通路参与了IR的发生及进展[5]。
丹蛭降糖胶囊是安徽中医药大学第一附属医院药物制剂中心生产的院内复方制剂。本文作者先前研究发现它可提高肥胖模型大鼠骨骼肌葡萄糖转运蛋白4的表达,发挥胰岛素增敏效应,具体机制尚不完全清楚[6]。本实验首先建立营养性肥胖SD大鼠模型,观察大鼠骨骼肌组织中三酰甘油(TG)沉积情况,并应用丹蛭降糖胶囊进行干预,观察其对骨骼肌TG沉积以及骨骼肌ERs相关因子IRE1α、磷酸化IRE1α(p-IRE1α)、JNK、磷酸化JNK(p-JNK)表达的影响。……
