Abstract:
Objective:To explore the role and regulation mechanism of leptin in senescence of mouse cardiomyocytes(MCM). Methods:The mRNA expression levels of senescence related indicators p16,p21,and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)in leptin stimulated MCM were examined by qPCR;the protein expressions of p16,p21,γ-H2AX,PI3K,AKT,p-PI3K,and p-AKT were detected by Western blot;the senescence of MCM was detected by β-galactosidase staining. PI3K inhibitor(LY294002) was pretreated for 2 h and then stimulated with leptin,the mRNA and protein levels of p16 and p21 were detected by qPCR and Western blot;the mRNA levels of SASP were examined by qPCR;MCM senescence was detected by β-galactosidase staining. Results: In MCM stimulated by leptin,the mRNA and protein levels of p16 and p21,as well as the protein level of γ-H2AX increased,the mRNA levels of SASP[(interleukin,IL)-1β,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α、IL-6,monocyte chemoattractant protein(MCP)-1]were up -regulated,the phosphorylation levels of proteins in PI3K/AKT signaling pathway increased;and β-galactosidase staining showed the senescence of MCM. When pretreated with PI3K inhibitor for 2 h,the mRNA and protein levels of p16 and p21,as well as the protein level of γ-H2AX were down-regulated,and the expressions of SASP mRNA were down-regulated,the senescence of MCM was alleviated. Conclusion:Leptin regulates the progression of MCM senescence by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and promoting SASP(IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6 and MCP-1)secretion.
