Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the time-sequential expression of a novel long non-coding RNA, lnc AK079912, in metabolically related tissues and during adipose tissue development and browning in mice.
METHODS:The interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT), subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT), epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT), liver tissues and muscular tissues were collected from 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice. The iBAT, sWAT and eWAT were also collected from the mice during development (0 day, 21 days, 8 weeks and 6 months after birth) and from 8- to 10-week- mice with cold exposure (4 ℃) and intraperitoneal injections of CL316, 243 (1 μg/g body weight) for 1 to 5 days. Trizol was used to extract the total RNA from the tissues, and RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expressions of lnc AK079912. Isolated mouse preadipocytes in primary culture were induced for adipogenic differentiation for 9 days and then treated with CL316, 243 (2 μmol/L) for different durations (no longer than 24 h); the expression of lnc AK079912 in the cells was detected using RT-qPCR at different time points of the treatment.
RESULTS:Lnc AK079912 was highly expressed in mouse adipose tissues, the highest in iBAT, followed by the muscular tissue, but was hardly detected in the liver tissue. The expression level of lnc AK079912 increased progressively in iBAT and sWAT during development of the mice, while its expression in eWAT showed an initial increase followed by a reduction at 8 weeks ( < 0.001). No significant difference was found in the expression of lnc AK079912 in the iBAT, sWAT or eWAT in mice with cold stimulation for 1 to 5 days ( > 0.05). The expression of lnc AK079912 was significantly decreased in iBAT and eWAT ( < 0.05) but increased in eWAT from mice with intraperitoneal injection of CL316, 243 for 1 to 5 days ( < 0.05). The expression level in the adipocytes in primary culture was significantly increased in response to treatment with CL316, 243 ( < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:Lnc AK079912 is highly expressed in mouse adipose tissue, and its expression gradually increases with the development of adipose tissue but with a depot-specific difference. Lnc AK079912 is significantly elevated in the early stage of adipose tissue browning, indicating its important role in the development and browning of adipose tissue.
