PG - 652-658 LID - S0006-291X(18)30357-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.02.126 [doi] AB - Abnormal regulation of lipid metabolism is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). GLP-1 as a new treatment for T2DM, has unique effects in modulating cholesterol homeostasis. However, the mechanism of this effect is largely missing. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of GLP-1 on cholesterol-induced lipotoxicity in hepatocytes and examine the underlying mechanisms. The cell viability was determined, and caspase-3 was used to detect the effects of GLP-1 on cholesterol-induced apoptosis. The alterations of miR-758 and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) resulting from cholesterol incubation or GLP-1 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot assays. Overexpression of miR-758 abrogated the GLP-1-mediated ABCA1 expression, and conversely, down-regulation of miR-758 aggravated GLP-1's action and revealed significant promotion effects. BODIPY-Cholesterol efflux assay revealed that treatment with miR-758 inhibitor significantly enhanced ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux, resulting in reduced total cholesterol. Furthermore, Oil red O staining and cholesterol measurement were used to detect lipid accumulation. As a result, cholesterol significantly attenuated cell viability, promoted cell apoptosis, and facilitated lipid accumulation, and these effects were reversed by GLP-1. This study provides evidence that, in HepG2 cells, GLP-1 may affect cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the expression of miR-758 and ABCA1. These data can inform the development of biomarkers for miR-758, and potentially other drugs, on the key pathways of lipid metabolism. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
