RESUMO
S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100A9) is involved in a variety of biological processes such as inflammation and tumor cell migration and invasion regulation. The purpose of this study was to construct S100A9 gene-edited mice by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, thereby providing an animal model for exploring the biological functions of this gene. According to the S100A9 gene sequence, the single-stranded small guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting exons 2 and 3 was transcribed in vitro, and a mixture of Cas9 mRNA and candidate sgRNA was injected into mouse fertilized eggs by microinjection. Early embryos were obtained and transferred to surrogate mice, and F

The phosphoinositide phosphatase, myotubularin-related protein 14 (MTMR14), has been reported to play an important role in the regulation of muscle performance, autophagy, and aging in mice. We previously showed that MTMR14-knockout (KO) mice gain weight earlier than their wild-type (WT) littermates even on a normal chow diet (NCD), suggesting that this gene might also be involved in regulating metabolism. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of MTMR14 deficiency on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, lipid accumulation, metabolic disorders, and inflammation in WT and MTMR14-KO mice fed with NCD or HFD. To this end, MTMR14-KO mice fed with HFD showed significantly increased body weight, blood glucose levels, serum triglyceride (TG) levels, and total cholesterol (TC) levels as compared to their age-matched WT control. Additionally, lipid accumulation also increased in the KO mice. Simultaneously, the expression of metabolism-associated genes (Glut4, adiponectin, and leptin) was different in the liver, muscle, and fatty tissue of MTMR14-KO mice fed with HFD. More importantly, the expression of several inflammation-associated genes (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and MCP-1) dramatically increased in the liver, muscle, and fatty tissue of MTMR14-KO mice relative to control. Taken together, these results suggest that MTMR14 deficiency accelerates HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction and inflammation. Furthermore, the results showed that exacerbated metabolic dysfunction and inflammation may be regulated via the PI3K/Akt and ERK signaling pathways (AU)
