To investigate the effect of endogenous n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on bone marrow adipogenesis under osteoporosis conditions.
A mouse osteoporosis model overexpressing the FAT1 gene from Caenorhabditis elegans and converting n-6 PUFAs to n-3 PUFAs endogenously was used.
The mice presented significantly lower bone marrow adiposity (adipocyte volume/tissue volume, mean adipocyte number) but increased the bone parameters (bone mineral density, bone mineral content, bone volume/total volume) in the distal femoral metaphysis.
Endogenous n-3 PUFAs protect bone marrow adipogenesis, which provides a novel drug target.
研究内源性n-3多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFAs)在骨质疏松条件下对骨髓脂肪生成的影响。
使用过表达秀丽隐杆线虫FAT1基因并将n-6 PUFAs内源性转化为n-3 PUFAs的小鼠骨质疏松模型。
小鼠股骨远端干骺端的骨髓脂肪含量(脂肪细胞体积/组织体积、平均脂肪细胞数量)显著降低,但骨参数(骨密度、骨矿物质含量、骨体积/总体积)增加。
内源性n-3 PUFAs可保护骨髓脂肪生成,这提供了一个新的药物靶点。
