High Level of Palmitic Acid Induced Over-Expressed Methyltransferase Inhibits Anti-Inflammation Factor KLF4 Expression in Obese Status
2020
Overview
AbstractOur study is based on the establishment of a cohort of human obese omental adipose tissue and the culture of adipocytes in vitro. To observe the effect of high level of free fatty acid (FFA) on the expression of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and the anti-inflammatory factor Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) in adipocytes and evaluate the role of methyltransferases in FFA inhibiting KLF4 expression. A total of 20 normal patients and 20 obese patients were selected for further test. qRT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of DNMT1/DNMT3a/DNMT3b and KLF4 in human adipose tissue and 3T3-L1 adipocytes which stimulated with saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid (PA). Bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) detected methylation status of KLF4 gene in human adipose tissue. It was found that the mRNA and protein expression levels of DNMT1 and DNMT3a in the omental tissue of obese individuals were higher than those in normal group, but the expression of KLF4 was decreased. The positive methylation rate of KLF4 promoter region in obese individuals were significantly higher than those in normal individuals, especially at CpG_33 and CpG_34 sites. Meanwhile compared with non-methylated group at CpG_33 and CpG_34 sites of KLF4 promoter region, the DNMT3a mRNA expression in methylated group were significantly increased. A total of 200 μM PA significantly promoted DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b and inhibited KLF4 protein expression levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Our findings suggest that under obesity status, the lower expression level of KLF4 of visceral adipose tissue may correlate with palmitic acid promoted DNMTs expression in adipocytes.
