Abstract:
Objective： ：To study the regulatory effect of mogrol (MO) on lipid metabolism of hepatic cancer cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: Oleic acid (OA) was used to induce fat accumulation in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells and to establish a steatosis cell model. CCK-8 method was used to detect the cytotoxicity of MO to HepG2 cells, and an experimental working concentration without obvious cytotoxicity of MO was chosen. After being treated with different concentrations of MO, lipid accumulation in the cells was observed by oil red O staining, and the contents of triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) in the cells were measured. Key genes involving in lipid metabolism were screened out by high-throughput transcriptome sequencing qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of ,SREBP-1c and FASN, while Western Blot was used to detect the protein expressions of p-AMPKα, SREBP-1c and FASN in cells of model group and treatment group. Results: After OA induction, a large amount of lipids accumulated in HepG2 cells, the contents of TG and TC increased significantly. Three key genes (SREBP-1c, FASN and p-AMPK α) involving in lipid metabolism of hepatic cancer cells were screened out. After OA induction, the mRNA expressions of SREBP-1c and FASN increased, the protein expression of p-AMPK α decreased while the protein expressions of SREBP-1c, FASN and other proteins increased significantly. After intervention with working concentration of MO, intracellular lipid accumulation, contents of TG and TC, mRNA expressions of SREBP-1c, FASN and protein expressions of SREBP-1c, FASN decreased significantly, while the expression of p-AMPKα increased. Conclusion: Mogrol can inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids by activating the expression level of AMPK signaling pathway related factors SREBP-1c and FASN, so as to play the role of regulating lipid metabolism.
