摘要
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions world-wide,with more than a billion adults being overweight,and over 300 million adults classified as obese.Adipogenesis is the process of formation of new adipocytes from preadipocyte precursors,and an understanding of this process is important for control of obesity.Apoptosis is essential for various physiological processes and is involved in numerous pathophysiological conditions.Mitochondria play a central role in apoptosis,through releasing a number ofproapoptotic factors to cytosol,including cytochrome c(Cyto c),aif,smac/diablo,and endoG.These factors in turn activate a battery of enzymatic executors of apoptosis,leading to cleavage of proteins and DNA.In the present study,we investigated the role of apoptosis in adipocyte differentiation.The results showed that during the process of 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation,apoptosis increased significantly compared with preadipocytes,as evidenced by increased staining of TUNEL.Apoptosis activator 2 notably promoted adipocyte differentiation both in 3T3-L1preadipocytes and in adipose tissue of mice.Moreover,along with the differentiation of adipocyte,mitochondrial ROS increased and antioxidant NAC significantly decreased adipocyte differentiation.Mitochondrial protective agent CysA inhibited lipid accumulation in the course of adipocyte differentiation.These results demonstrated that mitochondrial apoptosis may play an important role in adipocyte differentiation.The data reminds us that besides cell death,apoptosis may play more important physiological roles in various processes.Since numerous environmental agents could induce apoptosis,the finds may provide a common mechanism of environmental agents-related obesity and disorder of lipid metabolism.
