To explore the effects of berberine and insulin on adiponectin mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte.
The 3T3-L1 adipocyte was treated with berberine and insulin for 48 hours, the level of adiponectin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte expression was determined with semiquantity RT-PCR using beta-actin as internal reference.
The level of adiponetin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was increased after treated with berberine only (P < 0.05), the effect of berberine was inhibited by high concentration insulin (P < 0.05).
In vitro, berberine increases the expression of adiponectin in 3T3-L1 adipocyte, insulin inhibits the effect of berberine.
探讨黄连素和胰岛素对3T3-L1脂肪细胞脂联素mRNA表达的影响。
用黄连素和胰岛素处理3T3-L1脂肪细胞48小时,以β-肌动蛋白为内参,采用半定量RT-PCR法测定3T3-L1脂肪细胞中脂联素mRNA的表达水平。
仅用黄连素处理后,3T3-L1脂肪细胞中脂联素mRNA水平升高(P<0.05),高浓度胰岛素可抑制黄连素的作用(P<0.05)。
在体外,黄连素可增加3T3-L1脂肪细胞中脂联素的表达,胰岛素可抑制黄连素的作用。
