项目摘要

Juvenile Visceral Steatosis (JVS) mouse, which we reported in 1991, serves as an animal model of primary carnitine deficiency. Because this mouse is suffered from severe hypoglycemia, we analyzed the cause and mechanism The summary of the results is as follows ;1. Assay of carnitine transport activityWe have conducted a kinetic analysis using fibroblasts derived from normal, heterozygous, and homozygous JVS mice and found that the high-affinity carnitine transporter, which shows NaィイD1+ィエD1 dependency, is defective in homozygous JVS mice. Moreover, a gene dose-dependent decrease of carnitine transport activity was found in heterozygous JVS mice.2. Analysis of candidate geneAs a human OCTN2 gene encoding a sodium-dependent carnitine cotranspoter was isolated, we isolated the mouse octn2 gene and screened for its mutation in the JVS mouse. DNA sequencing analysis disclosed a missense mutation from CTG (Leu) to CGG (Arg) at codon 352 located within the sixth transmembrane domain of octn2. This amino acid replacement possibly causes the conformational change of the protein that leads to dysfunction of the gene product.3. Analysis of hypoglycemiaThe glucose level of JVS mouse at ad lib feeding was lower than that of normal control. After the prolonged starvation, the glucose level of JVS mouse was significantly decreased at 60 hours in comparison with normal control. The insulin level was not changed between JVS and normal control mouse. The levels of pyruvate and lactate were decreased. This decreased was thought as a cause of hypoglycemia.

我们在1991年报告的少年内脏脂肪变性（JVS）小鼠是原发性肉碱缺乏的动物模型。由于该小鼠患有严重的低血糖症，因此我们分析了结果和机制，因此结果的摘要如下； 1。肉碱转运活性的测定我们已经使用源自正常，杂合子和纯合的JVS小鼠的成纤维细胞进行了动力学分析，发现高亲和力的肉碱转运蛋白显示NAII D1+IE D1依赖性，在纯量化JVS小鼠中有缺陷。此外，在杂合的JVS小鼠中发现了肉碱转运活性的基因剂量依赖性降低。2。分析候选菌群一个编码钠依赖性肉碱共转移剂的人octn2基因分离出来，我们分离了小鼠octn2基因，并在JVS小鼠中筛选了其突变。 DNA测序分析揭示了位于Octn2第六跨膜结构域内的密码子352的CODON 352的错义突变。这种氨基酸替代可能导致蛋白质的构象变化，从而导致基因产物功能障碍3。分析AD LIB喂养处的JVS小鼠的葡萄糖水平低于正常对照。延长饥饿后，与正常对照相比，JVS小鼠的葡萄糖水平在60小时时显着降低。 JVS和正常对照鼠标之间没有改变胰岛素水平。丙酮酸和裂缝的水平降低。这种减少被认为是低血糖的原因。
