Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of naringenin(Nar)on insulin resistance(IR)in HepG2 cells and evaluate the role of mircoRNA-29b(miR-29b)expression in mediating this effect,thereby providing a foundation for further exploration into the mechanisms underlying naringenin's potential as a preventative and therapeutic agent for diabetes.Methods Insulin resistant HepG2(IR-HepG2)was established by stimulating HepG2 cells with 100 nmol/L insulin.Nar was treated with different concentrations(0,25,50,100 μg/ml)in IR-HepG2 cells.The effect of Nar on glucose consumption in IR-HepG2 cells was determined with glucose kit.miR-29b mimic and inhib-itor were transfected into IR-HepG2 cells of the 50 μg/ml Nar intervention group,and the expressions of insulin re-ceptor substrate-1(IRS-1),protein kinase B(Akt)/phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt),glucose transporter-4(GLUT4)genes and proteins in the insulin signaling pathway were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with IR-HepG2 model group,glucose consumption was increased in Nar intervention group with different concentrations(P<0.01),among which 50 μg/ml Nar intervention group was the most significant(P<0.001),and mRNA ex-pressions of IRS-1 and Akt were increased in Nar intervention group with different concentrations(P<0.05),the mRNA expression of IRS-1 and Akt in 50 μg/ml Nar intervention group was the most significantly increased(P<0.001),and GLUT4 mRNA expression in 50 μg/ml Nar intervention group was increased(P<0.05).The pro-tein expressions of IRS-1 and p-Akt were increased in different Nar concentration groups(P<0.001).Compared with IR-HepG2 model group,mRNA expression of IRS-1,Akt and GLUT4 and protein expression of IRS-1 and p-Akt were decreased in miR-29b mimic transfected cells(P<0.001),mRNA expression of IRS-1,Akt and GLUT4 and protein expression of IRS-1 and p-Akt were not different in miR-29b inhibitor transfection group,Nar interven-tion model group and Nar intervention transfected miR-29b mimic group increased the mRNA expression of IRS-1,Akt and GLUT4(P<0.001),and the protein expression of IRS-1 and p-Akt increased(P<0.05).Compared with Nar intervention model group,Nar transfected miR-29b mimic with Nar intervention did not change the mRNA expressions of IRS-1,Akt and GLUT4,while the protein expressions of IRS-1 and p-Akt were increased(P<0.05),Nar interfered with mRNA expression of IRS-1,Akt and GLUT4 and protein expression of IRS-1 and p-Akt in miR-29b inhibitor group(P<0.001).Conclusion Nar can increase glucose consumption in IR-HepG2 cells,increase the expression of IRS-1,Akt and GLUT4 genes,and increase the expression of IRS-1 and p-Akt proteins in IR-HepG2 cells.Nar increases the expression of IRS-1 and p-Akt in IR-HepG2 cells by inhibiting the overexpres-sion of miR-29b,and improves insulin resistance in HepG2 cells.Nar,as a plant compound,is expected to be a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.
