Thiazolidinediones downregulate stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are known to have potent increases of insulin sensitivity. Because peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), a receptor for TZDs, is mainly expressed in adipocytes, we tried to search the TZD-targeted genes in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. By the mRNA differential display method, one band repressed by troglitazone was obtained, which corresponded to the partial sequences of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) gene. Troglitazone dramatically decreased SCD1 mRNA levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Pioglitazone also repressed the SCD1 mRNA expression, whereas WY-14,643 had no apparent effect. Both troglitazone and pioglitazone raised the composition (weight percentage) of myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), and stearic acid (C18:0), but lowered the composition of the delta9-cis desaturated fatty acids such as myristoleic acid (C14:1, delta9), palmitoleic acid (C16:1, delta9), oleic acid (C18:1, delta9), and linoleic acid (C18:2, delta9,12). These results indicate that TZDs repress SCD1 activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes via downregulating SCD1 enzyme gene expression.     

Effect of glucose deprivation of GLUT 1 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Elevated glucose transport rates during glucose deprivation are phenomena that have been observed in several different types of cells in culture. We show here that glucose transport rates in 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased by 10-fold within 18 h in response to glucose deprivation, confirming earlier work by Van Putten and Krans (Van Putten, J. P. M., and Krans, H. M. J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7996-8001). Mannose and 3-O-methylglucose (a nonmetabolizable glucose analog), but not fructose or galactose, blocked the increase in transport activity. Although the increase in transport was dependent on new protein synthesis, only a small and transient increase in GLUT 1 mRNA (less than 2-fold) was observed. In addition, the level of the normal isoform of GLUT 1 (46 kDa) did not increase. A lower molecular mass isoform (37 kDa) was observed but not until 15 h after glucose removal, the appearance of which was clearly not correlated with the increase in activity. Further, the extracellular glucose concentration required to elicit accumulation of this form (p37) was 2 orders of magnitude less than that required for transport stimulation (5 microM versus 500 microM glucose; p37 accumulation and transport activation, respectively). Interestingly, p37 was seen in the presence of galactose, but not fructose, despite elevated transport activity with either sugar. The p37 isoform was slightly larger than N-glycosidase F-treated GLUT 1 (36 kDa), implying that this form is still glycosylated, albeit incompletely. It is not known if p37 is functional, but the time- and sugar-dependent appearance of the lower isoform suggests that p37 is not responsible for starvation-induced transport but potentially represents an underglycosylated precursor of the normal, 46-kDa isoform of GLUT 1.     

Nutrient control of GLUT1 processing and turnover in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Metabolic labeling and immunoprecipitation were used to analyze the glucose-dependent regulation of GLUT1 synthesis, processing, and turnover in a murine adipocyte cell line. Metabolically labeled GLUT1 from control cells migrated as a 46-kDa protein, while GLUT1 from cells deprived of glucose for more than 12 h migrated as a 37-kDa protein. On the basis of tunicamycin sensitivity, both GLUT1 species arose from a common protein migrating at 36 kDa. In addition, the rate of synthesis of GLUT1 in control and glucose-deprived cells was similar. In short pulse-chase experiments, we distinguished two species arising from the core GLUT1 protein in control cells; an intermediate and the mature 46-kDa species. In contrast, only one glycoform, the 37-kDa species, arose from the core protein in glucose-deprived cells, which was not further processed in either the presence or absence of glucose. Although 12-18 h of glucose deprivation were required to affect GLUT1 glycosylation, glucose-deprived cells quickly recovered the ability to correctly glycosylate GLUT1 upon the readdition of glucose (t1/2 < 1 h). GLUT1 in control adipocytes exhibited a half-life of approximately 14 h, while that in glucose-deprived adipocytes was greater than 50 h. This effect was readily reversed upon the readdition of glucose. In total, these data show that glucose deprivation alters both the processing (glycosylation) and turnover (degradation) of GLUT1. These results are discussed in light of transport function.     

退火温度对LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2薄膜正极电化学性能的影响

采用射频磁控溅射技术制备LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2薄膜正极,分别在200,300,400,500和600℃下进行退火处理,利用扫描电镜、等离子体发射光谱仪、拉曼光谱仪、X射线衍射仪和X射线光电子能谱仪等对不同温度下退火后的薄膜电极的形貌、结构和物相组成等进行分析,并测试其电化学性能。结果表明,500℃下退火后的LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2薄膜正极放电容量相对较低,但表现出优异的循环稳定性和倍率性能,在50(μA·h)/(cm~2·μm)倍率下循环60圈后,仍保持初始放电容量(130.3(μA·h)/(cm~2·μm))的88.5%,经过电流密度分别为50,100,200,500和50μA/(cm~2·μm)的倍率循环,容量可以恢复到初始值,优异的循环稳定性和倍率性能是由于退火改善了LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3)Mn_(1/3)O_2的结晶性,并伴随着离子导电性和电子导电性的提高,但在更高温度(600℃)下退火的电池初始放电容量降低,这是由于高温退火产生的不纯相(Ni~(3+)离子物质)导致的,Co~(2+)和Mn~(3+)离子的出现是电池容量衰减的主要原因。     

14-3-3beta protein associates with insulin receptor substrate 1 and decreases insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase activity in 3T3L1 adipocytes

The 14-3-3 protein family has been implicated in growth factor signaling. We investigated whether 14-3-3 protein is involved in insulin signaling in 3T3L1 adipocytes. A significant amount of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) was immunodetected in the immunoprecipitate with anti-14-3-3beta antibody at the basal condition. 100 nM insulin increased the amount of IRS-1 in the immunoprecipitate 2.5-fold. The effect of insulin was abolished by 100 nM wortmannin. An in vitro binding study revealed that glutathione S-transferase-14-3-3beta fusion protein directly associates with recombinant IRS-1. Pretreatment of recombinant IRS-1 with alkaline phosphatase clearly decreased this association. Because the recombinant IRS-1 was not phosphorylated on its tyrosine residues, the results suggest that serine/threonine phosphorylation of IRS-1 is responsible for the association. When the cells are treated with insulin, phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) is supposed to complex either 14-3-3beta-IRS-1 or IRS-1. The 14-3-3beta-IRS-1-PI3K and IRS-1-PI3K complexes were separately prepared by a sequential immunoprecipitation, first with anti-14-3-3beta and then with anti-IRS-1 antibodies. The specific activity of the PI3K in the former was approximately half of that in the latter, suggesting that 14-3-3beta protein bound to IRS-1 inhibits insulin-stimulated lipid kinase activity of PI3K in 3T3L1 adipocytes.     

Giant Low-Field Magnetoresistance in Polycrystalline La2/3Ca1/3Mn1-xCuxO3 Sintered at 1100 ℃

The La2/3Ca1/3Mn1-xCuxO3 (0≤x＜6%) samples were prepared by sol-gel method. Transport properties, conductive mechanism and low-field magnetoresistance (MR0) were investigated. It is found that conductive mechanism is described by Mott′s variable-range hopping and the MR0 near the insulator-metal transition temperature (Tp) increases from 2% to 80% with x from 0 to 4% for a low field of 0.3 T. The experiment also shows that the intergrain magnetoresistance is largely improved. The results indicate that a proper amount of Cu doping can substantially improve magnetoresistance effects.     

Microwave-Absorbing Properties of La1-x SrxMn1-yFeyO3

The experiment samples of La1-xSrxMn1-y FeyO3（x = 0. 15, 0.20, 0.23; y = 0. 10, 0. 12, 0.14, 0.16） were prepared by sol-gel process, and the loss tangent and absorption coefficient in the range of 2 - 18 GHz were measured by HP8722 net analyzing apparatus. It is found that changing the content of Sr or Fe would effect the microwave absorbing. When the thickness of La1-x SrxMn1-y FeyO3 is 2 mm and x =0.20, y = 0.14, the capability of microwave absorbing is the best one. There are two absorption peaks; the maximum is 34 dB and effective band width with 10 dB and more reaches 6.2 GHz.
