Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of Palmitic acid (PA) and Stearic acid (SA) on genes and protein expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and Nuclear Transcription Factor Nrf2 in HepG2 Cells.The HepG2 cells were treated with PA or SA of 0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0 mmol•L-1 for 24 h,the mRNA and protein expression levels of HO-1 and Nrf2 were detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and western blotting,separately.The experimental results were as follows,compared with the control group,the mRNA and protein expressions of HO-1 and Nrf2 were significantly increased with the increasing of PA concentration (P<0.01);While the mRNA and protein expressions of HO-1 and Nrf2 were significantly increased with SA of the concentrations of 0.25,0.5,0.75 mmol•L-1 (P<0.01),the increased amount of the mRNA and protein expressions of HO-1 and Nrf2 were relatively decreased when the concentration of SA was 1.0 mmol•L-1.In conclusion,a relatively higher concentration of PA and a relatively lower concentration of SA can elevate the mRNA and protein expressions of HO-1 and Nrf2 significantly within 1 mmol•L-1 in HepG2 cells.
