Effects of NEFA on mitochondrial function and fatty acid metabolism related genes in bovine skeletal muscle cells

  • 摘要: 【目的】明确非脂化脂肪酸(NEFA)胁迫对牛骨骼肌细胞线粒体功能及脂肪酸代谢过程的影响,为揭示围产期奶牛营养代谢病的作用机理提供参考依据。【方法】建立NEFA胁迫牛骨骼肌细胞模型,经最佳浓度—时间组合刺激后,采用透射电镜观察牛骨骼肌细胞线粒体的形态变化,通过油红O染色及BODIPY 493/503染色观察细胞内脂质沉积情况,采用流式细胞术检测线粒体膜电位,利用试剂盒检测细胞内的过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性及丙二醛(MDA)含量,并以实时荧光定量PCR检测线粒体功能及脂质代谢相关基因表达情况。【结果】综合NEFA对牛骨骼肌细胞存活率及其形态的影响,选取1.5 mmol/L NEFA刺激2 h作为后续试验的最佳浓度—时间组合。经1.5 mmol/L NEFA刺激2 h后,牛骨骼肌细胞线粒体体积变小、基质颜色加深,线粒体嵴排列紊乱,且趋向于融合现象,甚至部分呈空泡状;线粒体膜电位下降的细胞数量明显增多,较对照组(刺激0 h)显著提高38.08%(P<0.05,下同);细胞培养上清液MDA含量较对照组(刺激0 h)显著提高1.38倍,而细胞内的CAT活性极显著降低60.63%(P<0.01,下同),SOD活性显著降低34.21%。实时荧光定量PCR检测结果显示,经1.5 mmol/L NEFA刺激2 h后,调控线粒体基因复制与转录的NRF1PGC-1α基因、调控线粒体融合的MFN2基因、线粒体呼吸链关键酶基因(除COV基因外)、含Patatin样磷脂酶域2蛋白基因(PNPLA2)及长链脂酸延伸酶6基因(ELOVL6)的相对表达量均极显著降低,而肉毒碱脂酰转移酶1B基因(CPT1B)的相对表达量极显著提高。【结论】高浓度的NEFA对牛骨骼肌细胞具有脂毒性,对线粒体形态、功能与膜电位均产生影响,能引发线粒体功能障碍及导致细胞脂肪酸代谢异常,产生氧化应激,进而诱导脂质异常沉积。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 To investigate the effects of non-esterified fatty acid(NEFA) stress on mitochondria function and fatty acid metabolic processes of bovine skeletal muscle cells,and to provide reference for revealing the mechanism of nutritional metabolic diseases in cows in the perinatal period.【Method】 A NEFA-stressed bovine skeletal muscle cell model was established. After the optimal combination of concentration and time stimulation,mitochondrial morphological changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy,lipid deposition was observed by oil red O staining and BODIPY 493/503 staining,and mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by flow cytometry. The activities of catalase(CAT) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) were detected by the kit. The expression of genes related to mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.【Result】 Considering the effect of NEFA on survival rate and morphology of bovine skeletal muscle cells,1.5 mmol/L NEFA stimulation for 2 h was selected as the optimal dose-time combination for subsequent experiments. After 2 h stimulation with 1.5 mmol/L NEFA,the mitochondrial volume of bovine skeletal muscle cells became smaller,the matrix color was deepened,the mitochondrial ridge arrangement was disordered,and tended to be fused,even some of them were vacuolar. The number of cells with decreased mitochondrial membrane potential was greatly increased by 38.08% compared with the control group(stimulation 0 h) (P<0.05,the same below). Compared with the control group(stimulation 0 h),the content of MDA in the supernatant of cell culture was significantly increased by 1.38 times,while the intracellular CAT activity was extremely significantly decreased by 60.63%(P<0.01,the same below),and the activity of SOD was significantly decreased by 34.21%. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR detection results showed that after 2 h stimulation with 1.5 mmol/L NEFA,the relative expression levels of NRF1 and PGC-1α genes regulating mitochondrial gene replication and transcription,MFN2 gene regulating mitochondrial fusion,mitochondrial respiratory chain key enzyme genes(except COV gene), Patatin-like phospholipase domain 2 protein gene(PNPLA2) and long chain lipoic acid extension enzyme 6 gene(ELOVL6) were extremely significantly decreased, the relative expression of carnitine lipoacyltransferase 1B gene(CPT1B) was extremely significantly increased.【Conclusion】 High concentration of NEFA has lipid toxicity on bovine skeletal muscle cells,affecting mitochondrial morphology,function and membrane potential,causing mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal cellular fatty acid metabolism,resulting in oxidative stress,and inducing abnormal lipid deposition.
