Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2012;31(10):867-871
Objective To determine the associations of visceral adipose tissue area and retinol binding protein 4(RBP4) with bone mineral density (BMD) in the postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods The cross-sectional study involved 69 postmenopausal patients with T2DM (aged 40-73 years) in our hospital,they were divided into 4 groups:group 1:BMI <26.0 kg/m2,VAT< 155.3 cm2 ; group 2:BMI < 26.0 kg/m2,VAT> 155.3 cm2 ; group 3:BMI <26.0 kg/m2,VAT<155.3 cm2;group 4:BMI<26.0 kg/m2,VAT>155.3 cm2.The visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) area were obtained by computed tomography(CT) and BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).Results VAT area had negative associanons with lumbar spine BMD (LS-BMD) and greater trochanter BMD (GT-BMD) (r=-0.367,r=-0.301),and with LS-BMD,GT-BMD,femoral neck BMD (FN-BMD) and intertrochanter BMD (IT-BMD) even after adjusting for body mass index(BMI) and SAT (r =-0.433,-0.432,-0.300,-0.297,all P<0.05).A negative relationship was showed between LNRBP4 and LS-BMD in postmenopausal female patients (all P < 0.05.) The postmenopausal female patients with T2DM were divided into four groups according to the mean values of BMI and VAT area.BMD at any site of group 3(LS-BMD:1.00±0.20,FN-BMD:0.82±0.17,IT-BMD:1.13±0.21,GT-BMD:0.76±0.18) were higher than group 2(0.79±0.14,0.70±0.10,0.95±0.14,0.58±0.11).The multiple regression indicated that the variation of predictors (age,DUR,BMI,VAT,HbA1c,FINS and PMT) explained 51.7%,52.2%,59.8% and 75.3% of the variation in LS-BMD.FN-BMD,IT-BMD,GT-BMD among subjects,respectively(all P<0.01).Conclusions The influence of fat on bone density may depend on its site of VAT or SAT.VAT could be an independent determinant factor of BMDin the postmenopausal female with T2DM.Serum RBP4 may contribute to this effect.

Background and purpose:The study hasfound that tumornecrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) can enhance the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs on tumor cells. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of the tumor TRAIL and cisplatin combined application on the growth and apoptosis of human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and OVCAR3, and the possible mechanism.Methods:Under the combined application of cisplatin and TRAIL, MTT method and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis of SKOV3 of OVCAR3 cells; the mRNA expression levels of death receptors, DR4 and DR5, were detected by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR). At the same time, the protein expression levels of DR4 and DR5 were detected by Western blot.Results:SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells were sensitive to TRAIL protein, and with the increasing of TRAIL protein concentration, cell growth inhibitory rate up to 64%. When the
combination application of TRAIL and cisplatin, the inhibition rate of the two cells reached more than 92%, and the two drugs showed high synergistic effect, compared with the single drug group (P<0.05). Flowcytometry analysis indicated that the synergistic killing effect of TRAIL and cisplatin was mainly due to the cell apoptosis. RTFQ-PCR and Western blot detection results showed that the DR4 and DR5 were up-regulated under the combined application of TRAIL and cisplatin.Conclusion:In vitro, TRAIL and cisplatin combined application can signiifcantly inhibit the proliferation of human ovarian cancer cells and induce tumor cell apoptosis. TRAIL can obviously enhance the sensitivity of cisplatin to tumor cells. The mechanism may be related to the increased death receptor DR4 and DR5 expression level.
