Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of induced diabetes by streptozotocin (STZ) administration on gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue of C57/BL6 mice fed either a normal diet (ND) or a high-fat diet (HFD). Four diabetic mice groups (16- or 26-week-old mice fed either ND or HFD) and four control groups of age and diet matched non-diabetic mice were used. By real-time PCR, gene expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were examined in adipose tissue. The results demonstrated that gene expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ was significantly or marginally increased in STZ induced diabetic mice groups compared with non-diabetic groups. On the other hand, MCP-1 gene expression tended to be decreased in diabetic mice compared with non-diabetic controls. Especially, MCP-1 expression level in 16w diabetic mice on HFD was about 26% of that in age and diet matched non-diabetic controls (p<0.001). In addition, MCP-1 gene expression in adipose tissue was correlated with plasma insulin levels (p=0.0002). These results suggest that gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue is differentially regulated in mouse models of diabetes. The basic data in this study will be useful for elucidating basic mechanisms of inflammatory state and increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue in obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes.

본 연구를 통하여 streptozotocin 주사에 의한 당뇨 유발이 일반식이와 고지방식이로 키운 C57BL/6 수컷생쥐의 지방조직에서의 염증성 사이토카인 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 네 그룹의 당뇨생쥐(일반식이 또는 고지방식이로 키운 16주령 또는 26주령 생쥐)와 네 그룹의 비당뇨 대조군을 포함한 모두 73마리의 생쥐가 이 실험에 사용되었다. Real-time PCR을 이용하여 지방조직에서의 tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$)와 monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)의 유전자 발현량을 측정한 결과, TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA는 당뇨 유발에 의해 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 특히, 16주령의 일반식이 생쥐의 경우 비당뇨 대조군에 비해 당뇨가 유발된 실험군에서 유의한 증가가 관찰되었다. MCP-1 mRNA 발현은 STZ처리에 따른 당뇨유발에 의해 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히, 16주령 고지방식이의 당뇨 실험군에서의 발현이 비당뇨 대조군에서의 발현량의 26%에 해당할 정도로 큰 감소를 나타내었다. 또한, MCP-1의 발현은 인슐린 농도와 유의한 상관관계가 있음이 확인되었다. 이들 실험결과는 당뇨 모델 생쥐에서 지방조직의 염증성 사이토카인이 이상발현되고 있음을 나타내며, 비만, 인슐린저항성, 및 당뇨에서의 저준위 염증상태와 지방조직에서의 염증성 사이토카인 발현 조절의 기작을 밝히는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
