Abstract:
This paper was aimed to study the effect of ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta on the gene and protein of insulin significant signal IRS-1 and Akt in insulin resistance (IR) HepG2 cells.The CCK-8 method was used to detect the HepG2 cell activity.HepG2 cells of human liver cancer were cultured with high concentration insulin (10-6 mol· L-1)for 36 hours to establish IR cell model.According to the results of CCK-8,the control group,model (IR) group,ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta IR + 50 μg· mL-1,IR + 500 μg· mL-1 group,and the metformin group were divided.Glucose consumption was measured with a glucose assay kit.The expressions of IRS-1 and Akt gene in IR HepG2 cells were detected by RT-PCR after 6-hour using of ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta.Western blot was used to detect the expression of IRS-1 and Akt protein after 6-hour using of ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta.The results showed that when the concentration of ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta was 500 μg· mL-1,the survival rate reached 95％.When the concentration was higher than 500 μg· mL-1,the survival rate decreased.Compared with the IR group,the IR + 50 μg· mL-1 group and the IR + 500 μg· mL-1 group promoted glucose consumption of IR HepG2 cells,but its effect was less than that of the metformin hydrochloride group.The expression of IRS-1 and Akt in IR HepG2 cells was significantly increased by using RT-PCR in the group of IR + 50 μg· mL-1 and IR + 500 μg·mL-1 compared with the IR group after 6-hour using of ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta.The expression of IRS-1 and Akt protein in the group of IR + 50 μg· mL-1 and IR + 500 μg· mL-1 was significantly higher than that in the IR group after 6-hour medication detected by western blot.It was concluded that the ethyl acetate extracts of Gentianella acuta can increase the expression of IRS-1,Akt gene,the expression of IRS-1 and Akt protein in HepG2 cells,which may be the mechanism of IR improvement.
