摘要
背景:左卡尼汀(LC)改善恶病质的作用已日渐受到关注。目的:探讨PPARα、PPARγ在LC改善结肠癌小鼠恶病质中的作用。方法:建立结肠癌小鼠恶病质模型,并分为LC组、左卡尼汀棕榈酸酰基转移酶(CPT)抑制剂(ILC)组、阴性对照组(NST),另设立正常对照组(NTB)。实验第19 d处死所有小鼠。测定小鼠体质量、去瘤体质量、摄食量,以全自动生化仪检测血清白蛋白、血糖、胆固醇含量,ELISA法检测血清TNF-α、IL-6含量,实时定量PCR和蛋白质印迹法分别检测肝组织PPARα、PPARγmRNA和蛋白表达。结果:与NST组、ILC组相比,LC组小鼠体质量、去瘤体质量、摄食量、血清白蛋白、血糖均显著升高(P<0.05),血清胆固醇、TNF-α、IL-6含量均显著降低(P<0.05),PPARα、PPARγmRNA和蛋白表达均显著升高(P<0.05)。结论:PPARα、PPARγ可能参与结肠癌小鼠恶病质的发生;LC可能通过PPARα、PPARγ相关肝脏脂质代谢信号通路来改善肿瘤恶病质。
Background: The role of L-carnitine (LC) in ameliorating cachexia has been focused on increasingly in recent years. Aims: To investigate the role of PPARα, PPARy in ameliorating colonic cancer cachexia by LC in mice. Methods: Colonic cancer cachexia model was established in mice. Mice were randomly divided into tumor bearing group treated with LC ( LC group) , tumor bearing group treated with LC palmitoyl-transferase (CFF) inhibitor ( ILC group) , tumor bearing group treated with normal saline ( NST group) , and non-tumor bearing mice were served as normal controls ( NTB group). On the 19'h day, all the mice were sacrificed. Body weight, tumor-free body weight, food consumption were measured. Serum levels of albumin, glucose, cholesterol were determined by automatic biochemistry analyzer. ELISA assay was used to detect serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6. mRNA and protein expressions of PPARα, PPARy in liver tissue were determined by real time quantitive PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results: Compared with NST group and ILC group, body weight, tumor-free body weight, food consumption, serum levels of albumin and glucose in LC group were significantly increased (P 〈 0. 05 ), serum levels of cholesterol, TNF-α, IL-6 were significantly decreased ( P 〈 0. 05 ), mRNA and protein expressions of PPARα, PPARy were significantly increased ( P 〈 0.05 ). Conclusions : PPARα, PPARy may be involved in the formation of colonic cancer cachexia in mice. The ameliorating of cancer cachexia by LC may be related to the regulating of PPARα-, PPARy-related signaling pathway of hepatic lipid metabolism.
