Abstract

This study was performed to verify the gene expression of 3T3-L1 using the siRNA of the aromatase gene, which is the estrogen synthesis enzymes. First of all three pairs of siRNA were designed from the CYP19A1 (aromatase) and analyzed the formation of fat cell mechanism by transferring gene to 3T3-L1 and differentiating it. As a result, the expression of leptin gene, which is the main gene causing the obesity, was controlled and the cause of the obesity is related with the insulin specifically. The overexpression of adiponectin and adipsin was observed. This result showed that the formation of the fat was controlled a little without any side effect by obstructing a specific material out of all the signal systems in the fat formation. This study will be an important clue to make it clear that the lack or overexpression of estrogen might be the cause of fat formation mechanism.

본 연구는 에스트로겐 생성효소 유전자인 아로마테이즈 유전자의 siRNA를 이용하여 지방전구세포인 3T3-L1 세포의 지방세포 분화 시 나타나는 유전자의 발현을 검증하기 위하여 수행하였다. 먼저, CYP19A1 (aromatase)의 유전자로부터 siRNA를 3쌍을 디자인하고 이를 지방세포의 전구세포인 3T3-L1세포에 유전자 전이 한 후 분화 유도를 통하여 지방세포 생성의 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 비만의 원인 유전자인 렙틴 유전자의 발현 억제를 유도할 수 있었으며 특이적으로 인슐린과의 연관성이 매우 높음을 밝혀 낼 수 있었다. 그리고 비만 또는 백색지방 생성 시 발현이 억제되는 adiponectin과 adipsin의 과발현을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 결과를 통하여 지방생성의 모든 신호전달체계 중 특정 한 물질을 저해 하므로써 큰 부작용 없이 비만의 문제가 되는 지방생성을 일정 정도 제어 할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러므로 이 결과는 앞으로 에스트로겐 결핍 또는 과발현에 의하여 문제가 되는 지방생성 메커니즘을 밝히는 연구에 중요한 단서가 될 것으로 기대된다.
