Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of RNA-binding protein human antigen R(HuR), fatty acid binding protein type 4(FABP4),fatty acid synthetase(FASN),and lipoprotein lipase(LPL)during the differentiation of human adipocytes, and to explore their possible roles. Methods Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were induced by adipogenic differentiation,and the adipogenesis of cells was observed by oil red O staining. The expressions of HuR,FABP4,FASN,and LPL mRNA and protein were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. After HuR was silenced by siRNA, the change of adipogenesis for human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was observed and the expressions of adipogenic genes were detected. Results The expressions of HuR,FABP4,FASN,and LPL mRNA and protein were significantly increased after human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes(all P<0.01). After HuR expression was down-regulated by siRNA,the adipogenic level of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was reduced,with decreased protein levels of FABP4,FASN,and LPL(all P<0.05),which were without changes for their mRNA levels. Conclusion HuR promotes the differentiation of human adipocytes mainly via regulating the changes of FABP4,FASN,and LPL protein levels.
