中文摘要:
      目的探究阿黑皮素原(POMC)基因敲除对高脂饮食诱导的肥胖雄性幼鼠睾丸功能的影响机制。 方法将20只野生型C57BL/6雄性幼鼠随机均分为对照组(普通饲料喂养)与高脂饮食组(高脂饲料喂养),另10只POMC-/-幼鼠设为敲除POMC高脂组(高脂饲料喂养)。比较各组同时间幼鼠体质量,测量睾丸容积。采用HE、油红O染色检测各组睾丸组织病理结构与脂肪含量;Western blotting、qRT-PCR检测睾丸组织POMC、可卡因-苯丙胺调节转录肽(CART)蛋白及其mRNA水平;试剂盒检测血清睾酮与血脂[甘油三酯(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDLC)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDLC)]水平;TUNEL染色检测各组睾丸组织细胞凋亡水平。 结果与对照组比较,高脂饮食组、敲除POMC高脂组在第8、第12周时的体质量、睾丸组织红染的中性脂肪增加(P<0.05),睾丸组织生精小管生殖细胞层减少(P<0.05),睾丸容积、睾酮、HDLC和POMC、CART蛋白及其mRNA表达水平降低(P<0.05),TC、TG、LDLC水平及细胞凋亡水平升高(P<0.05)。与高脂饮食组比较,敲除POMC高脂组幼鼠在第8、第12周时的体质量、睾丸组织红染的中性脂肪增加(P<0.05),睾丸组织生精小管生殖细胞层减少(P<0.05),睾丸容积、睾酮、HDLC和POMC、CART蛋白及其mRNA水平降低(P<0.05),TC、TG、LDLC及细胞凋亡水平升高(P<0.05)。 结论POMC基因敲除显著加重高脂饮食诱导的肥胖雄性幼鼠睾丸功能损伤,其机制可能与POMC/CART信号通路受到抑制,进而导致代谢失调与细胞凋亡增加有关。
英文摘要:
      AimTo explore the mechanism of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene knockout to affect testicular function in obse young mice induced by high-fat diet obesity. MethodsTwenty wild-type C57BL/6 male offspring mice were randomly and equally divided into a control group (fed a standard diet) and a high-fat diet group (fed a high-fat diet), while another ten POMC-/- pups were used as the knockout POMC high-fat group (fed a high-fat diet). The body weight of neonatal mice among different groups at the same time were compared, the testicular volume was measured. HE staining and oil red O staining were used to detect the histopathological structure and fat content of testicular tissues in each group; Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels of POMC and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) in testicular tissues. The reagent kit is used to detect the levels of serum testosterone and blood lipids [ triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC)]; TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis level of testicular tissue cells in each group. ResultsCompared with the control group, the high-fat diet group and the knockout POMC high-fat group showed an increase in body weight at weeks 8 and 12, and red-stained neutral fat in testicular tissue (P<0.05), while a decrease in germ cell layer of seminiferous tubules in testicular tissue (P<0.05), a decrease in testicular volume, testosterone, HDLC, and POMC, CART protein and their mRNA expression levels (P<0.05), and an increase in TC, TG, LDLC levels and cell apoptosis levels (P<0.05). Compared with the high-fat diet group, the weight at weeks 8 and 12, and red-stained neutral fat in testicular tissue of the knockout POMC high-fat group were increased (P<0.05), while the germ cell layer of seminiferous tubules in testicular tissue were decreased (P<0.05), and testicular volume, testosterone, HDLC, and POMC, CART protein and their mRNA levels were also decreased (P<0.05), in addition, TC, TG, LDLC and cell apoptosis levels were increased (P<0.05). ConclusionKnockout of POMC gene significantly exacerbates testicular dysfunction induced by high-fat diet in obese male young mice, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of POMC/CART signaling pathway, leading to metabolic disorders and increased cell apoptosis.
