Objective To investigate the effect of rh-resistin on lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells and to elucidate its relation to AMPK pathway. Methods We treated the HepG2 cells with 50 ng/ml rh-resistin and 0.5 mmol/L palmitic acid,used siRNA technique to inhibite α2 subunite expression of AMPK in HepG2 cells and quantitative RT-PCR to detect ACC1,ACC2,and HL mRNA expression levels of related lipid metabolism genes. The P-AMPK-Thr172 of AMPK and P-ACC-Ser79 of ACC were determined by Western blotting. The Lipid accumu-lation in cells was determined by images of Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope after Nile red staining. Results Rh-resistin decreased the AMPKα2,HL mRNA expressions and the phosphorylation level of AMPK and ACC in both basal and insulin-stimulated conditions (P < 0.05),had no influence on ACC2 mRNA expressions (P >0.05),while it increased ACC2 mRNA expressions and cytoplasmic lipid droplets in the same conditions (P <0.05). Conclusion Rh-resistin may affect lipid metabolism via AMPK pathway with increase of fatty acid synthe-sis and inhibition of triglyceride catabolism,which leading to lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of rh-resistin on glucose metabolism in HepG2 cells and to elucidate whether the underlying mechanisms are related to AMPK pathway. Methods Cells transfected with control siRNA or AMPKα2 siRNA were cultured in 6-well plates and then treated with 50 ng/mL rh-resistin for 24 hours , while untransfected cells were treated with or without 50 ng/mL rh-resistin on the same conditions , followed by serum-starving in glucose-free DMEM for 3 ~ 5 hours in the continued absence or presence of rh-re-sistin. Then the cells were treated with or without insulin for 2 hours. AMPKα2, G6Pase, PEPCK and Glut2 mRNA expression levels were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The phosphorylation state of AMPK was deter-mined by Western blotting. Glycogen synthesis was measured by the incorporation of D-[U-14C] glucose to glycogen. Results Rh-resistin suppressed the AMPKα2, Glut2 mRNA expressions, and reduced the phosphory-lation level of AMPK and glycogen synthesis on both basal and insulin-stimulated conditions (P < 0.05), while it accelerated G6Pase and PEPCK mRNA expressions on the same conditions (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression levels of G6Pase , PEPCK , Glut2 and the phosphorylation level of AMPK and glycogen synthesis were signifi-cantly different between the rh-resistin group and the rh-resistin in conjunction with AMPKα2 siRNA-treated group. Conclusion Rh-resistin may affect glucose metabolism in HepG2 cell via AMPK pathway.

ABSTRACT:Objective To analyze the stress changes of tooth tissues in the medial-occlusal (Class Ⅱ)cavity restored with different kinds of inlay materials by the three-dimensional (3-D)finite element.Methods The inlay restored 3-D finite element model of medial-occlusal (Class Ⅱ)cavity was established by CBCT scanning method and reverse engineering software Mimics,Geomagic Studio,Pro/E5.0 software,and finite element analysis software. The Von-mises stress and change tendency of tooth tissues and four different kinds of inlay materials were compared after taking vertical loading and tongue 45°to loading.Results There were different stress levels of tooth tissues among different inlays of medial-occlusal (MO)Class Ⅱ cavity.The stress level of the cobalt chromium alloy inlay was the largest,the stress level of the gold alloy inlay was lower,and the stress level of the composite inlay was the lowest.Dental tissues stress distribution was similar for the four different restorative materials,and focused on hole bottom of dentin near the pulp in dentin.Conclusion Compared with ceramics,gold alloy and cobalt chromium inlay restoration,restoration with composite resin inlay can reduce the organization stress of the remaining tooth in the medial-occlusal (Class Ⅱ)cavity type.
