ABSTRACT
Objective To test whether glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) would regulate the expression of visfatin in adipocytes,and to explore the mechanism of this effect.Methods Fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with GLP-1.Total RNA was extracted for analyzing the level of visfatin mRNA by quantitative RT-PCR.The media were collected for measuring the level of visfatin protein by enzyme linked immuno-assay (ELISA).In order to test the involvement of PKA pathway,the adipocytes were pretreated with a specific pharmacological PKA inhibitor H89 for 30 min before GLP-1 was added.Results GLP-1 increased visfatin expression in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The level of visfatin significantly increased at the concentration of 10 10 mol/L GLP-1 (P<0.05),and reached the peak at 10-9 mol/L (P<0.01).After incubation for 18 hours,GLP-1 dominantly increased the level of visfatin (P<0.05).Inhibition of PKA pathway by H89 partially blocked the effect of GLP-1 on visfatin expression.Conclusions GLP-1 may enhance the expression of visfatin in 3T3-L1 adipocyte via the PKA pathway,which might contribute to the improvement in glucose homeostasis.
