Hypoglycemic effect of Chinese yam polysaccharide on DEX-induced IR-3T3-L1 adipocytes
Objective To examine the hypoglycemic effect of Chinese yam polysaccharide on the 3T3-L1 insulin resistance cell model.Methods IR-3T3-L1 adipocytes were randomly divided into control group(Con),model group(DEX),metformin group(Met,positive drug group)and CYPS group(0.05,0.15,0.45 mg/mL).After the creation of the IR-3T3-L1 cell model by dexamethasone(DEX)(1 μmol/L)stimulation,Chinese yam polysaccharide treatment was applied.Glucose intake and the levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C,GSH-Px,MDA,HK,and PK were then measured.AMPK-PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-associated gene expression was identified using qRT-PCR.Results The glucose consumption of IR-3T3-L1 cells was considerably decreased after 48 hours of treatment with 1 μmol/L DEX compared to that of the Con group(P<0.01),and the reduction persisted for 60 hours.0.05,0.15,0.45 mg/mL CYPS treatment significantly increased glucose consumption(P<0.01),HK,PK,GSH-Px enzyme activities(P<0.01),HDL-C content(P<0.01),and decreased MDA enzyme activity(P<0.01),T-CHO,TG,LDL-C content(P<0.01)in IR-3T3-L1 cells.01).Additionally,CYPS administration dramatically decreased PI3K,Akt,GLUT-4,AMPK,IRS-2,PPARa,and adiponectin mRNA expression levels(P<0.05)and reduced IRS-1,GSK-3β,ACC,and FAS mRNA expression levels(P<0.01).Conclusions In IR-3T3-L1 cells,CYPS can reduce oxidative stress,control lipid metabolism disorders,and enhance DEX-induced glucose intake.AMPK-PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-associated genes may be connected to the process.
