Leptin and its receptor in glucose metabolism of T-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: T-cell lymphoma (TCL) is a group of heterogeneous disorders with a poor response to conventional treatment. In order to identify novel therapeutic targets, the present study investigated the effect of leptin and its receptor on glucose metabolism in TCL. The expression of the leptin receptor (ObR), and glucose transporter (Glut)1 and 4 was detected in TCL and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) tissues by immunohistochemical analysis. A higher level of ObR expression was observed in the TCL tissues than in the RLH tissues (58.3 vs. 22.2%; P=0.012), and ObR overexpression was associated with high expression of Glut1 (P=0.007). In vitro analysis using the human TCL MOLT-3 cell line demonstrated that leptin stimulated cell glucose uptake via promoting recruitment and expression of Glut1, effects which were abolished by ObR-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA). Additionally, MOLT-3 cell viability was also increased following leptin treatment. ObR-specific siRNA abolished these responses. In conclusion, these results suggested that leptin serves a critical role in TCL glucose uptake via the ObR.

Project description:To investigate the underlying mechanisms of low metabolic activity of primary chondrocytes obtained from girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS); AIS is a spine-deforming disease that often occurs in girls. AIS is associated with a lower bone mass than that of healthy individuals and osteopenia. Leptin was shown to play an important role in bone growth. It can also regulate the function of chondrocytes. Changes in leptin and Ob-R levels in AIS patients have been reported in several studies. The underlying mechanisms between the dysfunction of peripheral leptin signaling and abnormal chondrocytes remain unclear; The following parameters were evaluated in AIS patients and the control groups: total serum leptin levels; Ob-R expression in the plasma membrane of primary chondrocytes; JAK2 and STAT3 phosphorylation status. Then, we inhibited the lysosome and proteasome and knocked down clathrin heavy chain (CHC) expression in primary chondrocytes isolated from girls with AIS and evaluated Ob-R expression. We investigated the effects of leptin combined with a lysosome inhibitor or CHC knockdown in primary chondrocytes obtained from AIS patients; Compared with the controls, AIS patients showed similar total serum leptin levels, reduced JAK2 and STAT3 phosphorylation, and decreased cartilage matrix synthesis in the facet joint. Lower metabolic activity and lower membrane expression of Ob-R were observed in primary chondrocytes from the AIS group than in the controls. Lysosome inhibition increased the total Ob-R content but had no effect on the membrane expression of Ob-R or leptin's effects on AIS primary chondrocytes. CHC knockdown upregulated the membrane Ob-R levels and enhanced leptin's effects on AIS primary chondrocytes; The underlying mechanism of chondrocytes that are hyposensitive to leptin in some girls with AIS is low plasma membrane Ob-R expression that results from an imbalance between the rate of receptor endocytosis and the insertion of newly synthesized receptors into the membrane.
