Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of liver-specific knockout of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase α(AMPKα)on pancreatic function and glucose metabolism-related genes in mice.Methods AMPKα1/α2flox/flox mice were divided into blank group(common feed)and model group(60％high fat choline deficiency feet)with eight mice in each group,and another 8 AMPKα1/α2flox/flox/Alb-Cre+mice were divided into the knockout group(60％high fat choline deficiency feet).The kit detected the levels of blood lipids and liver function indexes.The differential genes in the mouse pancreas were detected by transcriptome sequencing.The expression of differential genes in mice was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting.Results The levels of triglyceride in the blank group,model group and knockout group were(0.94±0.11),(0.71±0.14)and(1.05±0.17)mmol·L-1;the levels of triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein were(1.62±0.07),(0.44±0.08)and(0.90±0.06)mmol·L-1;the levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase were(7.02±5.87),(15.60±3.15)and(22.70±2.14)U·L-1;the levels of glutamic pyruvic transaminase were(14.56±11.55),(48.64±15.84)and(75.40±11.96)U·L-1;the expression levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1(PCK1)mRNA were 1.00±0,1.37±0.25 and 0.31±0.18;the relative expression levels of PCK1 protein were 0.77±0.27,1.23±0.43 and 0.51±0.40,respectively.Significant differences existed in the above indexes between the knockout group and the model group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion PCK1 gene may be an essential gene mediating the effect of liver AMPKα on islet function.
