项目摘要

Pref-1 (Preadipocyte factor-1) is a widely used preadipocyte marker that we originally cloned and identified. Pref-1 is expressed in preadipocytes, downregulated during adipocyte differentiation, and is absent in adipocytes. Pref-1 is synthesized as a plasma membrane protein with 6 EGF-repeats in the extracellular domain. Pref-1 ectodomain is cleaved by TACE to generate the biologically active soluble Pref-1. Gain- and loss-of function studies in cultured cells, as well as in mice in vivo showed Inhibition of adipogenesis by Pref-1 in autocrine/paracrine manner. Thus, whereas Pref-1ablated mice have higher adipose tissue mass, Pref-1 overexpression in adipose tissue causes partial lipodystrophy with ectopic fat storage. Pref-1 activates MEK/ERK to induce Sox9, which in turn suppresses C/EBPb and C/EBPd, to inhibit adipocyte differentiation. However, the Pref-1 receptor at the plasma membrane that initiates Pref-1 signaling is yet to be identified. By using recently developed diazirine photo-reactive linker combined with robust NHS-ester chemistry in situ, the putative plasma membrane receptor for Pref-1 has recently been identified. The goal of this research is to firmly establish and characterize the Pref-1 receptor which is the most proximal and critical component of Pref-1 signaling and to study the downstream components to inhibit adipocyte differentiation. To accomplish this goal, biochemical, cellular and molecular approaches as well as gain- and loss-of function studies in vitro and in vivo will be taken. In the long run, elucidating mechanisms underlying Pref-1 binding to the Pref-1 receptor and its downstream signaling pathway will help to develop strategies to control adipogenesis.

Pref-1（前脂肪细胞因子-1）是我们最初克隆和鉴定的一种广泛使用的前脂肪细胞标记物。 Pref-1 在前脂肪细胞中表达，在脂肪细胞分化过程中下调，并且在脂肪细胞中不存在。 Pref-1 被合成为质膜蛋白，在胞外域具有 6 个 EGF 重复序列。 Pref-1 胞外域被 TACE 切割，生成具有生物活性的可溶性 Pref-1。培养细胞以及小鼠体内功能获得和丧失的研究表明，Pref-1 以自分泌/旁分泌方式抑制脂肪生成。因此，虽然 Pref-1 消除的小鼠具有较高的脂肪组织质量，但脂肪组织中的 Pref-1 过度表达会导致部分脂肪营养不良和异位脂肪储存。 Pref-1 激活 MEK/ERK 诱导 Sox9，进而抑制 C/EBPb 和 C/EBPd，从而抑制脂肪细胞分化。然而，启动 Pref-1 信号传导的质膜上的 Pref-1 受体尚未确定。通过使用最近开发的二氮丙啶光反应连接体与强大的 NHS-酯化学原位相结合，最近已经确定了 Pref-1 的假定质膜受体。本研究的目标是牢固地建立和表征 Pref-1 受体，它是 Pref-1 信号传导的最近端和关键成分，并研究抑制脂肪细胞分化的下游成分。为了实现这一目标，将采取生化、细胞和分子方法以及体外和体内功能获得和丧失的研究。从长远来看，阐明 Pref-1 与 Pref-1 受体结合的机制及其下游信号通路将有助于制定控制脂肪生成的策略。
