摘要: 旨在研究RNF20及其介导的组蛋白H2B第120位赖氨酸的单泛素化(H2Bub)对小鼠棕色脂肪细胞成脂分化的影响。采集1日龄和2月龄雄性C57BL/6小鼠的棕色脂肪组织(n=3),用Western blot方法检测RNF20的表达及其介导的H2Bub水平。利用胶原酶消化法分离获得1日龄小鼠的棕色前体脂肪细胞。分别诱导棕色前体脂肪细胞和C3H10T1/2细胞系成脂分化,通过油红O染色检测其分化效果,进一步通过Western blot检测细胞分化前后(0和8 d)RNF20的表达及其介导的H2Bub水平。通过siRNA干扰Rnf20基因在C3H10T1/2细胞系中的表达,油红O染色方法观察Rnf20基因对成脂分化的影响,利用qPCR和Western blot技术检测Rnf20基因的干扰效率及其介导的H2Bub水平。结果显示,2月龄小鼠棕色脂肪组织中RNF20表达量及其介导的H2Bub水平均显著高于1日龄小鼠。脂肪细胞分化标记蛋白PPARγ和CEBPα的表达水平,RNF20表达量及其介导的H2Bub水平在棕色前体脂肪细胞及C3H10T1/2细胞成脂分化后均显著增加。此外,在C3H10T1/2细胞中敲降Rnf20基因后,与阴性对照组相比,RNF20及其介导的H2Bub水平显著降低,成脂分化后脂滴明显减少。综上表明,RNF20对小鼠棕色脂肪细胞的分化是必需的,敲降Rnf20基因导致组蛋白H2Bub水平显著降低,且降低了C3H10T1/2细胞的成脂分化效率。本研究丰富了小鼠棕色脂肪细胞分化过程中的表观遗传调控研究,为深入理解动物脂肪细胞分化提供了新的基因素材。

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of RNF20 and it-mediated monoubiquitination of histone H2B at lysine120 (H2Bub) on brown adipocytes differentiation in mice. In this study, the expression of RNF20 and it-mediated H2Bub level in brown adipose tissue (BAT) from 1-day-old and 2-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were measured by Western blot (n=3). The brown preadipocytes were primarily isolated by collagenase digestion from 1-day-old mice. The brown preadipocytes and C3H10T1/2 cell lines were differentiated into mature adipocytes, respectively. Oil Red O staining was used to detect the adipogenic differentiation efficiency. The expression of RNF20 and it-mediated H2Bub level were detected in non-differentiated and differentiated cells (0 and 8 d) by Western blot. Furthermore, the siRNAs were applied to knockdown the expression of Rnf20 gene in C3H10T1/2 cells and the Oil Red O staining was used to detect adipogenic differentiation efficiency. qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the efficiency of interfering Rnf20 gene and it-mediated H2Bub level. The results showed that the expression of RNF20 and it-mediated H2Bub level were significantly higher in BAT from 2-month-old mice than those from 1-day-old mice. The expression of adipocyte differentiation marker proteins, PPARγ and CEBPα, and RNF20 and H2Bub level significantly increased in differentiated brown adipocytes and C3H10T1/2 cells. In addition, knockdown of Rnf20 gene in C3H10T1/2 cells significantly decreased the expression of RNF20 and it-mediated H2Bub level and reduced lipid droplets deposition in differentiated cells compared to those from negative control group. In summary, RNF20 was essential for mouse brown adipocyte differentiation. Knockdown of Rnf20 gene resulted in the decrease of H2Bub level and decreased the adipogenic differentiation efficiency of C3H10T1/2 cells. The study result adds more data to the epigenetic regulation of mouse brown adipocytes differentiation and provides new genetic material for further understanding the differentiation of animal brown adipocytes.
