Abstract
抽象
The liver, a crucial metabolic regulatory organ, is pivotal in maintaining glucose and lipid homeostasis, energy distribution, and nutrient utilization. However, intensive breeding practices and short-term profit motives have led to various issues impacting pig health. These challenges notably disrupt liver glycolipid metabolism, impair production efficiency and pork quality, and result in substantial economic losses for the swine industry. Consequently, there is an urgent need to identify safe and efficacious strategies to enhance glycolipid metabolism in pig livers. In this investigation, exosomes and primary porcine liver cells were successfully isolated from pig muscle tissue. Upon intravenous administration of pig muscle-derived exosomes to mice, a marked enhancement in glucose utilization and liver gluconeogenesis was observed. Additionally, mice exhibited elevated serum glucose levels, reduced serum triglyceride concentrations, enhanced Treatment of primary pig liver cells with pig muscle exosomes led to a notable elevation in glucose levels in the culture medium, a significant decrease in intracellular triglyceride content, enhanced AMPK phosphorylation, and upregulation of protein expression of HK1, G6PC, ATGL, and CPT1. Subsequent treatment of AML12 cells with pig muscle exosomes yielded results consistent with those observed in primary pig liver cells. In summary, our findings demonstrate the capacity of pig muscle exosomes to ameliorate glycolipid metabolism in liver cells. AMPK phosphorylation, and upregulated protein expression of HK1, G6PC, ATGL, and CPT1.
肝脏是重要的代谢调节器官,对于维持葡萄糖和脂质稳态、能量分配和营养利用至关重要。然而,集约化的养殖实践和短期的利润动机导致了影响猪健康的各种问题。这些挑战显著扰乱了肝脏糖脂代谢,损害了生产效率和猪肉质量,并给养猪业带来了巨大的经济损失。因此,迫切需要确定安全有效的策略来增强猪肝脏中的糖脂代谢。在这项研究中,成功地从猪肌肉组织中分离出外泌体和原代猪肝细胞。在向小鼠静脉注射猪肌肉来源的外泌体后,观察到葡萄糖利用和肝脏糖异生显着增强。此外,小鼠表现出血清葡萄糖水平升高、血清甘油三酯浓度降低、增强猪肌肉外泌体对原代猪肝细胞的处理导致培养基中葡萄糖水平显着升高,细胞内甘油三酯含量显着降低,AMPK 磷酸化增强,以及 HK1、G6PC、ATGL 和 CPT1 的蛋白质表达上调。随后用猪肌肉外泌体处理 AML12 细胞产生的结果与原代猪肝细胞中观察到的结果一致。总之,我们的研究结果证明了猪肌肉外泌体改善肝细胞中糖脂代谢的能力。AMPK 磷酸化,并上调 HK1、G6PC、ATGL 和 CPT1 的蛋白表达。

Introduction
我介绍
The swine industry is rapidly evolving towards larger scale and higher intensity, resulting in ongoing enhancements in pig production efficiency. However, this trend is accompanied by challenges such as increased stocking density, utilization of high-energy feed, and emphasis on rapid weight gain in pig genetic selection, which are exacerbating hepatic glucose-lipid metabolic disorders in swine populations. Prolonged consumption of high-energy diets, inadequate feeding practices, and other factors can precipitate metabolic ailments like porcine fatty liver syndrome and insulin resistance in swine herds. These conditions not only affect production efficiency and pork quality but also lead to substantial economic repercussions for the livestock sector.
养猪业正在迅速向更大规模、更高强度发展,导致生猪生产效率不断提高。然而,这一趋势伴随着放养密度增加、高能饲料的利用以及猪基因选择中对体重快速增加的重视等挑战,这些挑战正在加剧猪种群的肝脏糖脂代谢紊乱。长期食用高能量饮食、喂养习惯不足和其他因素会引发猪群猪脂肪肝综合征和胰岛素抵抗等代谢疾病。这些条件不仅影响生产效率和猪肉质量,还对畜牧业造成重大经济影响。
Research has shown that metabolic disorders of glucose and lipids in the liver can lead to not only fat deposition and inflammatory damage in the liver but also to a decline in immune function within the organism[8; 22] Regardless of birth weight, HFD-fed pigs exhibited higher body weight, plasma triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations[24]. Chinese Guizhou miniature pigs were fed either a normal control diet or a high-fat/high-sucrose diet (HFSD) for 6 months. At the end of 6 months, adipocyte hypertrophy and hepatic steatosis were observed in the HFSD-fed animals; miniature pigs fed the HFSD diet without the addition of dietary cholesterol developed insulin resistance, mild diabetes, and atherosclerotic lesions[21].This significantly increases the risk of disease in pig populations, which can result in mortality or premature culling in severe cases. Additionally, the disruption of glucose and lipid metabolism in fattening pigs leads to a notable decline in meat quality post-slaughter (such as the intramuscular fat content and the fatty acid composition ratio), affecting consumer acceptability and industry competitiveness. Mice were chronically administered exosomes derived from boiled pork through drinking water. The mice exhibited abnormal glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in lipid droplets in the livers of the mice[17].Exosomes secreted by porcine soleus (SOL) muscle promote adipogenic activity in intramuscular adipocytes[26]. Porcine muscle exosomes show metabolic regulation of target tissues. Therefore, we are discussing whether exosomes derived from pig muscle can improve glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver at both in vivo and cellular levels.
研究表明,肝脏中葡萄糖和脂质的代谢紊乱不仅会导致肝脏脂肪沉积和炎症损伤,还会导致机体内免疫功能下降 [8;22] 无论出生体重如何,HFD 喂养的猪表现出较高的体重、血浆甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、 和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)浓度 [24]。 中国贵州小型猪饲喂正常对照日粮或高脂肪/高蔗糖日粮 (HFSD) 6 个月。在 6 个月结束时,在 HFSD 喂养的动物中观察到脂肪细胞肥大和肝脂肪变性;饲喂 HFSD 日粮而不添加膳食胆固醇的小型猪出现胰岛素抵抗、轻度糖尿病和动脉粥样硬化病变 [21]。 这显着增加了猪群患病的风险,严重时可能导致死亡或过早扑杀。此外,育肥猪糖脂代谢紊乱导致屠宰后肉质(如肌内脂肪含量和脂肪酸组成比)明显下降,影响消费者的接受度和行业竞争力。 通过饮用水长期给予小鼠从煮猪肉中提取的外泌体。 小鼠表现出异常的葡萄糖代谢和胰岛素抵抗。 此外,小鼠肝脏中的脂滴显着增加 [17]。 猪比目鱼肌(SOL)肌肉分泌的外泌体促进肌内脂肪细胞的成脂活性 [26]。 猪肌肉外泌体显示靶组织的代谢调节。 因此,我们正在讨论源自猪肌肉的外泌体是否可以在体内和细胞水平上改善肝脏中的葡萄糖和脂质代谢。

CANX protein was detected in pig muscle tissue but not in pig muscle exosomes, where exosome marker proteins TSG101, CD63, and CD9 were enriched (Fig. 1A). Pig muscle exosomes exhibited a concave red blood cell shape under transmission electron microscopy, with a particle size notably enriched at 129.8 nm (Fig. 1B&C). This successful isolation of pig muscle exosomes establishes their potential for subsequent functional investigations. Upon injecting PKH67-stained pig muscle exosomes into mice via the tail vein, their enrichment in the liver was observed (Fig. 1D). Initially, pig muscle exosomes led to a significant reduction in the weight and feed intake of mice, although these effects were not sustained in the later stages of the experiment (Fig. 1E-G). Notably, insulin sensitivity in mice injected with pig muscle exosomes did not significantly differ from the control group (Fig. 1H), despite increased glucose utilization (Fig. 1I) and liver gluconeogenesis capacity (Fig. 1J). Additionally, these mice exhibited elevated serum glucose levels (Fig. 1K) and reduced serum triglyceride levels (Fig. 1L) compared to the control group.
在猪肌肉组织中检测到 CANX 蛋白,但在猪肌肉外泌体中未检测到,其中外泌体标记蛋白 TSG101、CD63 和 CD9 富集(图 1A)。猪肌肉外泌体在透射电镜下呈现凹形红细胞形状,粒径在 129.8 nm 处明显富集(图 1B&C)。猪肌肉外泌体的成功分离为其后续功能研究奠定了潜力。通过尾静脉将 PKH67 染色的猪肌肉外泌体注射到小鼠体内后,观察到它们在肝脏中的富集(图 1D)。最初,猪肌肉外泌体导致小鼠的体重和采食量显着减少,尽管这些影响在实验的后期阶段没有持续(图 1E-G)。值得注意的是,尽管葡萄糖利用率(图 1I)和肝脏糖异生能力(图 1J)增加,但注射猪肌肉外泌体的小鼠的胰岛素敏感性与对照组(图 1H)没有显着差异。此外,与对照组相比,这些小鼠表现出血清葡萄糖水平升高(图 1K)和血清甘油三酯水平降低(图 1L)。

Subsequent experimental findings revealed a significant decrease in the liver index of mice injected with pig muscle exosomes, accompanied by a notable increase in the gastrocnemius index, while showing no significant impact on subcutaneous fat and epididymis fat indices (Fig. 2A). Notably, there was a marked reduction in muscle glycogen content in the gastrocnemius muscle (Figure 2B) and a significant increase in hepatic glycogen content (Figure 2C), as confirmed by PAS staining (Figure 2D). Histological examination of liver sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) did not indicate any liver damage in either group of mice (Fig. 2E). Moreover, the liver triglyceride (TG) level was significantly decreased in mice treated with pig muscle exosomes (Fig. 2F). While the expression levels of HK1, PK, PCK1, G6PC, ATGL, HSL, MAGL, and CPT1 genes in the liver remained unchanged (Fig. 2G-H), the protein levels of HK1, G6PC, ATGL, and CPT1 exhibited a significant increase. Additionally, the analysis of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling revealed a significant elevation in phosphorylated AMPK protein levels (p-AMPK) (Fig. 2I).
随后的实验结果显示,注射猪肌肉外泌体的小鼠肝脏指数显着下降,腓肠肌指数显着增加,同时对皮下脂肪和附睾脂肪指数没有显着影响(图 2A)。值得注意的是,腓肠肌中的肌糖原含量显着降低(图 2B),肝糖原含量显着增加(图 2C),PAS 染色证实(图 2D)。用苏木精和伊红(HE)染色的肝切片的组织学检查均未表明两组小鼠有任何肝损伤(图 2E)。此外,用猪肌肉外泌体处理的小鼠的肝脏甘油三酯(TG)水平显着降低(图 2F)。虽然肝脏中 HK1、PK、PCK1、G6PC、ATGL、HSL、MAGL 和 CPT1 基因的表达水平保持不变(图 2G-H),但 HK1、G6PC、ATGL 和 CPT1 的蛋白水平表现出显着增加。此外,对 AMP 活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)信号传导的分析显示磷酸化 AMPK 蛋白水平(p-AMPK)显着升高(图 2I)。

Primary pig liver cells were isolated, revealing a distinctive dense cobblestone-like structure when observed under a microscope, with outward clustering (Fig. 3A). Immunostaining showed evident expression of CK18 keratin (Fig. 3B) and glycogen accumulation (Fig. 3C). Treatment of these cells with pig muscle exosomes resulted in a significant increase in glucose content in the cell culture medium (Figure 3D) and a notable decrease in cellular triglyceride levels (Figure 3E), consistent with oil red O staining results (Figure 3F). Furthermore, pig muscle exosome treatment upregulated the gene expression of HK1, ATGL, and MAGL in primary pig liver cells, while showing no significant impact on the expression of PK, PCK1, G6PC, and HSL genes (Figure 3G-H). At the protein level, there was a significant increase in the expression of HK1, G6PC, ATGL, and CPT1, along with a notable elevation in p-AMPK protein levels (Figure 3I).

The impact of pig muscle exosomes on AML12 cells was confirmed through validation experiments. Our findings demonstrated that treatment of AML12 cells with pig muscle exosomes mirrored the outcomes observed in pig liver primary cells treated with the same exosomes. Specifically, there was a significant increase in glucose content in the cell culture medium of pig muscle exosome-treated AML12 cells (Figure 4A), accompanied by a notable decrease in cellular triglyceride levels (Figure 4B) and a reduction in the presence of lipid droplets as evidenced by oil red O staining (Figure 4C). Furthermore, treatment with pig muscle exosomes led to a significant upregulation in the gene expression of key metabolic regulators including PK, PCK1, G6PC, ATGL, and MAGL in AML12 cells, while showing no significant impact on the expression of HK1 and HSL genes (Figure 4D-E). At the protein level, the expression of HK1, G6PC, ATGL, and CPT1 was significantly elevated, along with a notable increase in p-AMPK protein levels (Figure 4F).
通过验证实验证实了猪肌肉外泌体对 AML12 细胞的影响。我们的研究结果表明,用猪肌肉外泌体处理 AML12 细胞反映了在用相同外泌体处理的猪肝原代细胞中观察到的结果。具体来说,猪肌肉外泌体处理的 AML12 细胞的细胞培养基中的葡萄糖含量显着增加(图 4A),伴随着细胞甘油三酯水平的显着降低(图 4B)和脂滴存在的减少,如油红 O 染色(图 4C)所证明的那样。此外,用猪肌肉外泌体处理导致 AML12 细胞中 PK、PCK1、G6PC、ATGL 和 MAGL 等关键代谢调节因子的基因表达显着上调,而对 HK1 和 HSL 基因的表达没有显着影响(图 4D-E)。在蛋白质水平上,HK1、G6PC、ATGL 和 CPT1 的表达显着升高,p-AMPK 蛋白水平显着增加(图 4F)。
Porcine muscle exosomes inhibit liver cell proliferation
猪肌肉外泌体抑制肝细胞增殖
Our findings demonstrated a significant decrease in the liver index of mice following the administration of pig muscle exosomes via the tail vein compared to the control group. Subsequently, we examined the impact of pig muscle exosomes on liver proliferation. The administration of pig muscle exosomes led to a notable reduction in the expression of Cyclin D1 and Cyclin E1 genes in mice, with no significant alteration observed in PCNA gene expression (Fig. 5A). Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the levels of phosphorylated mTOR, Cyclin D1, and Cyclin E1 proteins (Fig. 5B). At the cellular level, pig muscle exosomes inhibited the proliferation of primary pig liver cells (Fig. 5C) and suppressed the expression of PCNA, Cyclin D1, and Cyclin E1 genes (Fig. 5D), along with downregulating the expression of PCNA, Cyclin D1, and Cyclin E1 proteins through the inhibition of mTOR signaling (Fig. 5E). Consistent with the outcomes observed in primary pig liver cells, treatment with pig muscle exosomes in AML12 cells hindered cell proliferation (Fig. 5F), reduced the expression of PCNA and Cyclin E1 genes (Fig. 5G), and inhibited the expression of PCNA, Cyclin D1, and Cyclin E1 proteins by suppressing mTOR signaling (Fig. 5E).
我们的研究结果表明,与对照组相比,通过尾静脉施用猪肌肉外泌体后,小鼠的肝脏指数显着降低。随后,我们研究了猪肌肉外泌体对肝脏增殖的影响。猪肌肉外泌体的施用导致小鼠细胞周期蛋白 D1 和细胞周期蛋白 E1 基因的表达显着降低,PCNA 基因表达没有观察到显着改变(图 5A)。此外,磷酸化 mTOR、细胞周期蛋白 D1 和细胞周期蛋白 E1 蛋白的水平显着降低(图 5B)。在细胞水平上,猪肌肉外泌体抑制原代猪肝细胞的增殖(图 5C),抑制 PCNA、细胞周期蛋白 D1 和细胞周期蛋白 E1 基因的表达(图 5D),同时通过抑制 mTOR 信号传导下调 PCNA、细胞周期蛋白 D1 和细胞周期蛋白 E1 蛋白的表达(图 5E)。与在原代猪肝细胞中观察到的结果一致,在 AML12 细胞中用猪肌肉外泌体处理可阻碍细胞增殖(图 5F),降低 PCNA 和细胞周期蛋白 E1 基因的表达(图 5G),并通过抑制 mTOR 信号传导抑制 PCNA、细胞周期蛋白 D1 和细胞周期蛋白 E1 蛋白的表达(图 5E)。
Discussion

Disorders in hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism are complex and can initiate a cascade of diseases, impacting breeding efficiency. Porcine non-alcoholic fatty liver is caused by high-energy diets and lack of exercise [5]. Neonatal piglet hypoglycemia arises due to minimal glycogen reserves and immature gluconeogenesis enzymes, relying on lactose from breast milk for glucose. Insufficient breast milk or impaired gluconeogenesis rapidly decreases blood glucose, increasing piglet mortality [2; 15]. The dietary supplementation of the diet with Chitosan oligosaccharide during late gestation and lactation reduced piglet hypoglycemia by stimulating hepatic gluconeogenesis and improved the growth rate of suckling piglets [23]. Sow ketosis results from heightened energy demands during late pregnancy and lactation. Insufficient dietary energy or disrupted hepatic fat metabolism leads to ketone body accumulation, causing ketosis [19]. Thus, maintaining stable hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism is vital for efficient pig breeding. This study demonstrates that porcine muscle exosomes enhance hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipid clearance, suggesting a novel strategy for addressing glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in production. Although the in vivo validation in this study was only conducted on mice, the research results hold promise for further functional validation in pigs.
肝脏葡萄糖和脂质代谢紊乱很复杂,可引发一系列疾病,影响育种效率。猪非酒精性脂肪肝是由于高能量饮食和缺乏运动引起的 [5]。 新生仔猪低血糖是由于糖原储备极少和糖异生酶不成熟,依赖母乳中的乳糖获取葡萄糖而引起的。母乳不足或糖异生受损会迅速降低血糖,增加仔猪死亡率 [2; 15]。 在妊娠晚期和泌乳期补充壳聚糖低聚糖通过刺激肝脏糖异生降低仔猪低血糖,提高乳仔猪的生长速度 [23]。 母猪酮症是由于怀孕后期和哺乳期能量需求增加造成的。饮食能量不足或肝脏脂肪代谢紊乱导致酮体堆积,引起酮症 [19]。 因此,维持稳定的肝脏糖脂代谢对于生猪的高效养殖至关重要。 这项研究表明,猪肌肉外泌体可增强肝脏糖异生和脂质清除,为解决生产中的葡萄糖和脂质代谢紊乱提出了一种新策略。 尽管本研究中的体内验证仅在小鼠身上进行,但研究结果有望在猪身上进行进一步的功能验证。
Freshly isolated primary hepatocytes retain most of their liver-specific functions. Therefore, in addition to using conventional liver cell lines, researchers prefer to obtain primary liver cells to verify drug functions. For a long time, researchers have made many attempts at the isolation and culture of hepatocytes, mainly including non-perfusion methods (such as tissue block method or homogenization method) and perfusion methods. Currently, the most widely used and preferred method is Seglen's in situ two-step collagenase method. Meng et.al established a method of porcine hepatocyte isolation with a modified four-step retrograde perfusion technique [13] . Li et.al adopted a three-step perfusion method to isolate porcine hepatocytes [6] . For weaned piglet (12 kg), the entire liver was perfused retrogradely with cold saline and then excised, followed by a five-step ex vivo open-loop recirculation perfusion method to isolate functional porcine hepatocytes [14]. The perfusion method was used to isolate porcine hepatocytes from Bama miniature pigs. The prepared collagenase Serva NB 8 and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can improve the isolation of porcine hepatocytes, thereby increasing the yield of viable cells [7]. The perfusion method is overly complex in operation and requires a relatively high level of operational skills from experimenters.
新鲜分离的原代肝细胞保留了大部分肝脏特异性功能。因此,除了使用常规肝细胞系外,研究人员更倾向于获取原代肝细胞来验证药物功能。长期以来,研究人员在肝细胞的分离和培养方面进行了多次尝试,主要包括非灌注法(如组织阻滞法或均质法)和灌注法。目前,使用最广泛和首选的方法是 Seglen 原位两步胶原酶法。孟 et.al 建立了一种采用改良的四步逆行灌注技术分离猪肝细胞的方法 [13]。Li et.al 采用三步灌注法分离猪肝细胞 [6]。 对于断奶仔猪(12 kg),用冷盐水逆行灌注整个肝脏,然后切除,然后采用五步离体开环再循环灌注法分离功能性猪肝细胞 [14]。 采用灌注法从巴马小型猪中分离猪肝细胞。制备的胶原酶 Serva NB 8 和 N-乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)可以改善猪肝细胞的分离,从而提高活细胞的产量 [7]。 灌注方法作过于复杂,对实验者作技能要求相对较高。
Researchers used a single-cell preparation instrument to extract neonatal rat cardiac myocytes from rat hearts for research [12; 25]. Healthy adipose tissue was harvested and disassociated using fat dissociation solution, the Single-cell Suspension Preparation System (SSPS) was used to obtain a mixture of single adipocytes, ADSCs and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) to verify the long-term survival rate of single adipocyte graft in vivo [11]. Therefore, we attempted to isolate primary liver cells from 4-week-old Landrace piglets using a single-cell preparation instrument. The entire process only took half an hour and was easy to operate, and we successfully isolated primary porcine liver cells. Using a single-cell preparation instrument is expected to become an efficient method for obtaining primary cells from various tissues in subsequent scientific research.
研究人员使用单细胞制备仪器从大鼠心脏中提取新生大鼠心肌细胞进行研究 [12;25]。 使用脂肪解离溶液收获并分离健康的脂肪组织,使用单细胞悬浮液制备系统(SSPS)获得单个脂肪细胞、ADSC 和基质血管部分(SVF)的混合物 , 以验证单个脂肪细胞移植物在体内的长期存活率 [11]。 因此,我们尝试使用单细胞制备仪器从 4 周龄长白仔猪中分离原代肝细胞。整个过程仅用了半小时,作简单,我们成功分离出原代猪肝细胞。在后续的科学研究中,使用单细胞制备仪器有望成为从各种组织中获取原代细胞的有效方法。
AMPK is a key regulator of energy metabolism and a critical target for metabolic disease treatment. It detects cellular metabolic status, activating under low nutrient and energy conditions to inhibit anabolism and promote catabolism. This activation enhances ATP synthesis and suppresses cell growth, ensuring energy homeostasis. Coenzyme Q10 is a well-known anti-adipogenic factor that can act as an AMPK activator, regulate hepatic lipid metabolism, and inhibit abnormal lipid accumulation in the liver [1]. Fufang Zhenzhu Tiaozhi formula (FTZ), treatment attenuated hepatic steatosis and fibrosis via the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. In vitro studies showed that FTZ also attenuated intracellular lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells exposed to palmitic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA) [20]. Long-term AMPK activation in the liver can enhance lipid oxidation, thereby reducing hepatic lipid content and body fat [3]. Licochalcone A activates the sirt-1/AMPK pathway, improves hepatic steatosis, reduces liver tissue weight and lipid droplet accumulation in liver tissue, and alleviates obesity in mice [10]. BabaoDan can increase the expression of p-AMPK and the weights of the body and tissues (retroperitoneal fat pads, kidneys, and liver) of mice are significantly lower than those of the control group mice [18]. Taurine exerts a lipid-lowering effect by activating the SIRT1/AMPK/FOXO1 signaling pathway and regulating lipid metabolism in obese C57BL6 mice [4]. In hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, injection of AICAR (an AMPK activator) in normal or insulin - resistant Zuker rats can inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. Treatment of primary cultured hepatocytes with metformin can activate AMPK to inhibit glucose production [16]. A 4-week exercise program reversed steatosis, reduced insulin levels, and improved glucose tolerance. Substituting exercise with AICAR was sufficient to replicate the above benefits [9]. In this study, we found that the gene and protein expression of G6PC also increased significantly when AMPK was activated, which seems inconsistent with previous literature reports. However, G6PC is an important rate-limiting enzyme in the final step of endogenous glucose output and plays a crucial role in directly determining gluconeogenesis and maintaining glucose homeostasis in the body. Therefore, we speculate that there are components in porcine muscle exosomes that can directly target G6PC for regulation without being affected by the AMPK signal, which requires further investigation for validation.
AMPK 是能量代谢的关键调节因子,也是代谢性疾病治疗的关键靶点。它检测细胞代谢状态,在低营养和能量条件下激活以抑制合成代谢并促进分解代谢。这种激活增强了 ATP 合成并抑制细胞生长,确保能量稳态。 辅酶 Q10 是一种众所周知的抗脂肪生成因子,可以作为 AMPK 激活剂,调节肝脏脂质代谢,抑制肝脏异常脂质积累 [1]。 扶方真珠条芝配方(FTZ), 通过单磷酸腺苷活化蛋白激酶(AMPK)途径治疗减轻肝脂肪变性和纤维化。体外研究表明,FTZ 还减弱了暴露于棕榈酸(PA)和油酸(OA)的 HepG2 细胞中的细胞内脂质积累 [20]。 肝脏中 AMPK 的长期激活可以增强脂质氧化,从而降低肝脏脂质含量和体脂 [3]。 柠檬苦虫 A 可激活 sirt-1/AMPK 通路,改善肝脂肪变性,减少肝组织重量和肝组织中脂滴积累,减轻小鼠肥胖[10]。BabaoDan 可以增加 p-AMPK 的表达,小鼠的身体和组织(腹膜后脂肪垫、肾脏和肝脏)的重量明显低于对照组小鼠 [18]。 牛磺酸通过激活 SIRT1/AMPK/FOXO1 信号通路和调节肥胖 C57BL6 小鼠的脂质代谢来发挥降脂作用 [4]。 在肝糖和脂质代谢中,在正常或胰岛素抵抗的祖克大鼠中注射 AICAR(一种 AMPK 激活剂)可以抑制肝脏糖异生,从而降低血糖水平。用二甲双胍处理原代培养的肝细胞可以激活 AMPK 以抑制葡萄糖的产生 [16]。 为期 4 周的锻炼计划逆转了脂肪变性,降低了胰岛素水平,并改善了葡萄糖耐量。用 AICAR 代替运动足以复制上述益处 [9]。 在这项研究中,我们发现当 AMPK 被激活时,G6PC 的基因和蛋白质表达也显着增加,这似乎与以往的文献报道不一致。然而,G6PC 是内源性葡萄糖输出最后一步中重要的限速酶,在直接决定体内糖异生和维持葡萄糖稳态方面起着至关重要的作用。因此,我们推测猪肌肉外泌体中存在一些成分可以直接靶向 G6PC 进行调控,而不受 AMPK 信号的影响,这需要进一步研究以进行验证。
Conclusion
共含
Our study concludes that porcine muscle exosomes do not influence body weight or feed intake in mice but enhance hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipid clearance via the AMPK signaling pathway. These findings were corroborated in primary porcine liver cells and AML12 cells. Additionally, porcine muscle exosomes inhibit liver cell proliferation by suppressing the mTOR signaling pathway. This highlights the functional diversity of porcine muscle exosomes in vivo, offering a theoretical and experimental basis for their potential application in managing liver metabolic disorders in pig production.
