文摘目的:在细胞水平研究烟酰胺单核苷酸(nicotinamide mononucleotide,NMN)对胰岛素分泌的调节作用及其对与胰岛素分泌相关的重要转录因子胰十二指肠同源盒基因(pancreatic and duodenalhomeobox-1,PDX-1)和分叉头框家族转录因子1(forkhead box-containing protein O-1,FoxO1)基因表达的影响。方法:采用大鼠胰岛素ELISA试剂盒检测RIN-m5f细胞胰岛素分泌水平。用Real-time PCR检测RIN-m5f细胞PDX-1和FoxO1的mRNA表达水平。用Western印迹检测RIN-m5f细胞PDX-1蛋白表达水平。结果:用瑞格列奈10 nmol/L+NMN 100μmol/L处理RIN-m5f细胞48 h,与空白对照及DMSO对照组相比,胰岛素分泌量均显著增高(P<0.05);与NMN 50μmol/L组比较,胰岛素分泌量的增高也有统计学意义(P<0.05)。10,50和100μmol/L的NMN作用RIN-m5f细胞36 h,PDX-1的mRNA表达量均上调(依次为P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001)。100μmol/L剂量组与10μmol/L和50μmol/L剂量组比较差异也有统计学意义(P<0.001)。50,100和200μmol/L的NMN作用RIN-m5f细胞36或48 h,PDX-1的蛋白表达量与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:NMN可以调控RIN-m5f细胞中胰岛素的分泌及PDX-1的mRNA表达水平。
