To study the effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) on NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-induced inflammation in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and the underlying role of nuclear factor (NF)-κB signalling.
Thirty ZDF rats were randomly divided into three study groups: DM (0.9% saline, subcutaneously); DM+GLP-1 (liraglutide, s.c.); and NF-κB+GLP-1 (betulinic acid then liraglutide, s.c.). Ten Zucker lean rats were examined as normal controls. PVAT from ZDF (DM) rats was examined for inflammasome mRNA. Protein levels of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in PVAT were compared between control, DM and DM+GLP-1 groups. Protein levels of NLRP3, IL-1β, IL-18 and NF-κB in PVAT were compared between control, DM, DM+GLP-1 and NF-κB+GLP-1 groups.
The inflammasome most abundantly expressed in ZDF rat PVAT was . NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, and GSDMD were markedly upregulated in DM versus control tissue, and GLP-1 reversed this effect. Inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated inflammation by GLP-1 was lost by activation of NF-κB with betulinic acid.
GLP-1 may alleviate NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent inflammation in PVAT by inhibiting NF-κB signalling.
研究胰高血糖素样肽1(GLP-1)对 Zucker 糖尿病脂肪(ZDF)大鼠血管周围脂肪组织(PVAT)中含 NOD 样受体蛋白 3(NLRP3)炎性小体诱导的炎症的影响以及核因子(NF)-κB 信号传导的潜在作用。
将 30 只 ZDF 大鼠随机分为三个研究组:糖尿病组(皮下注射 0.9%生理盐水);糖尿病+GLP-1 组(皮下注射利拉鲁肽);NF-κB+GLP-1 组(先皮下注射桦木酸,然后皮下注射利拉鲁肽)。将 10 只 Zucker 瘦大鼠作为正常对照进行检查。检测 ZDF(糖尿病)大鼠 PVAT 中的炎性小体 mRNA。比较对照组、糖尿病组和糖尿病+GLP-1 组 PVAT 中 NLRP3、裂解的半胱天冬酶-1、半胱天冬酶-1、gasdermin D(GSDMD)、白细胞介素(IL)-1β和 IL-18 的蛋白水平。比较对照组、糖尿病组、糖尿病+GLP-1 组和 NF-κB+GLP-1 组 PVAT 中 NLRP3、IL-1β、IL-18 和 NF-κB 的蛋白水平。
在 ZDF 大鼠 PVAT 中表达最丰富的炎性小体是 。与对照组织相比,糖尿病组中 NLRP3、裂解的半胱天冬酶-1、IL-1β、IL-18 和 GSDMD 明显上调,而 GLP-1 逆转了这种作用。用桦木酸激活 NF-κB 可消除 GLP-1 对 NLRP3 炎性小体相关炎症的抑制作用。
GLP-1 可能通过抑制 NF-κB 信号传导减轻 PVAT 中 NLRP3 炎性小体依赖性炎症。
