树突细胞外泌体通过mTOR-SREBP途径引起心肌梗死后血脂异常

Exosomes derived from dendritic cells post myocardial infarction caused dyslipidemia via mTOR-SREBP pathway

  • 摘要: 目的:作为重要炎症细胞的树突细胞(DCs)参与动脉粥样硬化。 DCs分泌的外泌体(DEXs)最近引起了人们的广泛关注,但对其在心肌梗死(MI)后血脂异常的作用研究较少。 SREBP是一种重要的转录因子,通过mTOR-SREBP信号传导参与脂质生成。我们假设DEXs通过mTOR-SREBP途径改变脂质代谢,影响MI后血脂谱的变化。方法:用正常心肌细胞(Control-DEX组)或梗死心肌细胞(MI-DEX组)的上清液刺激小鼠的DCs。用两组分泌的DEXs处理肝细胞,用酶标记测定仪测定脂质的合成和分泌。进一步通过蛋白质印迹和RT-PCR检测mTOR-SREBP途径的表达。结果:MI-DEX干预肝细胞后,胆固醇和LDL-c水平显着升高,mTOR-SREBP表达增加。使用SREBP抑制剂后,胆固醇的合成和分泌功能随着mTOR-SREBP表达的降低而下降。结论:DEXs可能通过干扰肝细胞中的mTOR-SREBP途径在MI的血脂异常中发挥重要作用。

     

    Abstract: Objective: Dendritic cells (DCs), as important inflammatory cells, are involved in atherosclerosis. Exosomes secreted by DCs (DEXs) have raised abundant attention recently while little is known on the role in dyslipidemia post myocardial infarction. SREBP is an important transcription factor that involves in the lipogenesis through mTOR-SREBP signaling. The pathway inside hepatocytes could be altered by inflammatory signals. We hypothesized that DEXs post myocardial infarction alter lipid metabolism through the mTOR-SREBP pathway. Methods: DCs from mice were stimulated with the supernatants of normal cardiomyocytes (Control-DEX group), or necrotic cardiomyocytes (MI-DEX group). The hepatocytes were treated with the DEXs secreted from the two groups, and the synthesis and secretion of lipids were determined by the enzyme-labeling measuring instrument. The lipid profiles were detected in cell medium. The expression of mTOR-SREBP pathway was measured by Western Blot and RT-PCR. Results: After the intervention of MI-DEX,the level of cholesterol and LDL-c of hepatocytes were enhanced significantly and the expression of mTOR-SREBP increased. With SREBP inhibitor, the functions of synthesis and secretion of lipids declined with decreased expression of mTOR-SREBP. Conclusion: Exosomes derived from dendritic cells may play an important role in the dyslipidemia after myocardial infarction by disturbing mTOR-SREBP pathway in the hepatocytes.
