MicroRNA-30a-3p is overexpressed in the placentas of patients with preeclampsia and affects trophoblast invasion and apoptosis by its effects on IGF-1. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2018; 218:249.e1-249.e12.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia (PE) affects many women globally and remains a primary cause of neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Aberrant placental microRNA (miRNA) expression might be associated with PE. Previously, 33 PE-related miRNAs, 11 up-regulated and 23 down-regulated, were detected in placentas of women with severe PE when compared with those of normal patients. One of the most up-regulated miRNAs in PE is miR-30a-3p. The predicted target of it is insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which has been reported to have a relatively low expression level in PE patients. This study was conducted to determine the aberrant increased of miR-30a-3p in the placentas of women with preeclampsia and to elucidate the target and function of it in trophoblast cells. STUDY DESIGN miR-30a-3p expression in placenta tissues was compared between women with preeclampsia (n = 25) and normal pregnant women (n = 20). The miRNA target was studied by in silico and functional assay. The effects of the miRNA were verified by apoptosis assay and invasion assay in the trophoblast cell line. RESULTS miR-30a-3p was increased significantly in the placenta of women with preeclampsia when compared to those with normal pregnancies. Luciferase assay confirmed direct regulation of miR-30a-3p on the expression of IGF-1. Forced expression of miR-30a-3p suppressed IGF-1 protein expression in the HTR-8/SVneo cells. The functional assay suggests that the over-expression of miR-30a-3p alter the invasive capacity of JEG-3 cells and induce the apoptosis of HTR-8/SVneo cells (Figure). CONCLUSION Expression of miR-30a-3p was significantly increased in the placentas of patients with preeclampsia. miR-30a-3p might be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by targeting IGF-1 and regulating the invasion and apoptosis of trophoblast cells.

Abstract
A preadipocyte primary cell culture was established to gain knowledge about adipose tissue development in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), one of the most extensively produced marine aquaculture species in the Mediterranean. The preadipocytes obtained from the stromal-vascular cell fraction of adipose tissue proliferated in culture, reaching confluence around day 8. At that time, the addition of an adipogenic medium promoted differentiation of the cells into mature adipocytes, which showed an enlarged cytoplasm filled with lipid droplets. First, cell proliferation and differentiation were analyzed under control and adipogenic conditions during culture development. Next, the effects of insulin, GH, and IGF-I on cell proliferation were evaluated at day 8. All peptides significantly stimulated proliferation of the cells after 48 h of incubation (P < 0.002 for GH and IGF-I and P < 0.05 for insulin), despite no differences were observed between the different doses tested. Subsequently, the effects of insulin and IGF-I maintaining differentiation when added to growth medium were studied at day 11, after 3 d of induction with adipogenic medium. The results showed that IGF-I is more potent than insulin enhancing differentiation (P < 0.01 for IGF-I compared with the control). In summary, a primary culture of gilthead sea bream preadipocytes has been characterized and the effects of several regulators of growth and development have been evaluated. This cellular system can be a good model to study the process of adipogenesis in fish, which may help improve the quality of the product in aquaculture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. We have recently found that activation of multiple cellular signaling transduction pathways occurs during ROS-induced intestinal cell apoptosis; the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) pathway plays an anti-apoptotic role during this process. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 activates PI3-K pathway to promote cell survival; however, the effects of IGF-1 treatment during gut injury are not clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to determine whether IGF-1 protects intestinal cells from ROS-induced apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rat intestinal epithelial (RIE)-1 cells were treated with either IGF-1 (100 nm), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 500 microm), or combination. Western blotting was performed to assess phosphorylation of Akt, a downstream effector of PI3-K. Cell Death Detection ELISA, DCHF, and JC-1 assays were performed to demonstrate protective effects of IGF-1. Wortmannin, an inhibitor of PI3-K, was used to show PI3-K-dependent mechanism of action for IGF-1. RESULTS H2O2 treatment resulted in increased intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis with intracellular ROS generation and mitochondrial membrane depolarization; IGF-1 pre-treatment attenuated this response without affecting ROS production. H2O2-induced phosphorylation of Akt was further increased with IGF-1 treatment; wortmannin abolished these effects in RIE-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS PI3-K pathway is activated during ROS-induced intestinal epithelial cell injury; IGF-1 exerted an anti-apoptotic effect during this response by PI3-K activation. A better understanding of the exact role of IGF-1-mediated activation of PI3-K may allow us to facilitate the development of novel therapy against NEC.

Abstract
Maturation of adipose tissue results from both the expansion of mature adipocytes and the formation of new adipocytes from adipocyte precursor cells. A variety of hormones related to adipogenesis have been identified recently. Both growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) are of major significance in adipocyte differentiation. IGF-I has been suggested to be a major regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation and metabolism, thus regulating, among other biological processes, adipose tissue growth and differentiation of pre-adipocytes into adipocytes. GH exerts its effects by increasing the pool of adipocyte precursor cells capable of differentiating into mature adipocytes. In addition, GH seems to have the potential to reduce the volume of mature adipocytes, thus inhibiting the expansion of adipose tissue and reducing body fat. This chapter gives an overview of studies that have investigated the roles of insulin, GH and IGF-I in adipogenesis.

Abstract
Using mRNA differential display, we found that the gene for NAD(+)-dependent glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH; EC 1.1.1.8) is induced in rat brain following seizure activity. Northern blot and in situ hybridization analysis confirmed the differential display results; they also showed, in a separate model of neuronal activation, that after thermal noxious stimulation of the hind-paws, a similar increase in GPDH mRNA occurs in the areas of somatotopic projection in the lumbar spinal cord. Surprisingly, administration of analgesic doses of morphine or the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs aspirin, metamizol (dipyrone), and indomethacin also increased GPDH mRNA levels in rat spinal cord. The opioid receptor antagonist naloxone completely blocked morphine induction of GPDH but had no effect on GPDH induction by noxious heat stimulation or metamizol treatment, implicating different mechanisms of GPDH induction. Nevertheless, in all cases, induction of the GPDH gene requires adrenal steroids and new protein synthesis, as the induction was blocked in adrenalectomized rats and by cycloheximide treatment, respectively. Our results suggest that the induction of the GPDH gene upon peripheral noxious stimulation is related to the endogenous response to pain as it is mimicked by exogenously applied analgesic drugs.

Abstract
Proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes from 7-day-old Large White (LW) and Meishan (MS) pigs were studied in primary culture. The effects of porcine GH (pGH) and IGF-I as well as the expression of GH (GHR) and IGF-I (IGF-IR) receptors mRNA were examined. Preadipocytes were exposed to serum-supplemented and serum-free medium to determine proliferation and differentiation, respectively. Proliferation was higher in MS than in LW pigs. Treatment with pGH (2 nM) or IGF-I (10 nM) resulted in a similar decrease in proliferation in LW and MS pigs. Parameters assessing differentiation and the effects of pGH and IGF-I on differentiation did not differ between the two breeds. The percentage of differentiating cells and LPL and ME activities were markedly reduced by pGH. IGF-I did not reduce differentiation significantly. Both GHR and IGF-IR mRNA were expressed in adipose tissue, adipocytes, preadipocytes, and 6-day-cultured cells from LW and MS pigs. The similar action of pGH and IGF-I on preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation, associated with the similar expression of GHR and IGF-IR mRNA in LW and MS pigs, suggests that the GH/IGF-I axis is not impaired in MS pigs. The difference in preadipocyte proliferation observed between LW and MS pigs could account for their adiposity difference.

Abstract
Insulin exerts rapid effects on cellular metabolism and can cause morphological changes by inducing rearrangements of cytoskeletal components. The regulation of specific cytoskeletal genes by insulin, however, has not been studied extensively. In the present work insulin was found to rapidly, but transiently, increase transcription of the cytoskeletal gamma-actin gene in rat H4IIE (H4) hepatoma cells. Insulin-induced transcription of the gamma-actin gene was evident within 5 min and was maximal by 15 min at 10-fold above control levels. The stimulation of transcription was transient, with a return towards basal levels by 120 min. Transcription of gamma-actin was increased at insulin concentrations as low as 1 x 10(-11) M and was maximal at 1 x 10(-9) to 1 x 10(-8) M. Transcription of several control genes (skeletal and cardiac alpha-actin and beta-tubulin) were unaltered by insulin administration. Messenger RNA (mRNA) levels for the gamma-actin gene increased, but to a lesser degree than transcription. Since the gamma-actin message is an abundant and stable mRNA, its levels would not be expected to change dramatically from a transient induction of transcription. Like insulin, phorbol esters transiently increased transcription of the gamma-actin gene. In addition, pretreatment of cells with phorbol esters for 24 h reduced the ability of insulin to induce gamma-actin transcription. These data support our hypothesis that insulin and phorbol esters share intracellular signalling pathways in the control of transcription of specific genes.

Abstract
Insulin and calcium ionophores rapidly stimulated transcription of the cytoskeletal beta- and gamma-actin genes in serum-deprived rat H4-II-E hepatoma cells. The calcium ionophore A23187 (1 microM) stimulated transcription of the beta-actin gene by 7.3-, 5.4-, and 2.6-fold and the gamma-actin gene by 5.9-, 5.6-, and 2.6-fold at 15, 30, and 60 min, respectively. Ionomycin (1 microM) similarly increased beta- and gamma-actin transcription. Insulin stimulated beta-actin transcription 11.4-fold and gamma-actin 8.4-fold at 30 min. alpha-Tubulin transcription was induced by both insulin and calcium ionophores but to a lesser degree. The effects of A23187 or ionomycin together with insulin for 30 min were no greater than those of insulin alone. Insulin alone, however, did not significantly increase measurable intracellular calcium concentrations in fura-2-loaded cells. When cytosolic calcium was chelated using quin2 acetoxymethyl ester, the ability of A23187 to increase beta- and gamma-actin transcription was completely abolished, whereas insulin's ability to stimulate actin transcription was only partially inhibited. This suggests that the regulation of gene transcription by insulin may include calcium-dependent pathways but strongly implies that calcium-independent pathways are also utilized.

Abstract
Connective tissue cells of liver parenchyma (perisinusoidal myofibroblasts) can be induced to express the lipocyte (Ito cell) phenotype. We have studied phospholipid synthesis and phosphate incorporation during this in vitro conversion, induced by insulin and/or indomethacin, in the established murine cell line GRX. Phospholipid synthesis, measured by [14C]acetate incorporation, was increased after a full induction of the lipocyte phenotype. The 32Pi incorporation into phospholipids was increased from the beginning of induction. Phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol synthesis were increased early in the induction, whilst the increase of major constitutive phospholipids was significant only after the full lipocyte phenotype induction. The presence of unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids was increased in lipocytes. Linoleic acid was present only in diacylglycerols and in phosphatidylinositol. Since we have shown previously that linoleic acid was not present in triacylglycerols, this result indicates the importance of future studies on activation of phosphatidylinositol cycles in induction of lipocyte phenotype in liver connective tissue cells.

Abstract
Insulin stimulates transcription and cytoplasmic accumulation of a specific mRNA (termed p33), while inhibiting transcription and accumulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA in rat H4IIE (H4) hepatoma cells. The present work examines the role of protein synthesis in regulation of these genes by insulin and dexamethasone. Like insulin, cycloheximide and anisomycin, two protein synthesis inhibitors, induced p33 transcription and reduced PEPCK transcription. The combination of either protein synthesis inhibitor and insulin did not induce p33 transcription or inhibit PEPCK transcription beyond that observed with either protein synthesis inhibitor alone. Dexamethasone induced both p33 and PEPCK transcription. The combination of insulin and dexamethasone, or protein synthesis inhibitors and dexamethasone, abolished dexamethasone-induced PEPCK transcription. Thus, protein synthesis inhibitors regulate transcription of the p33 and the PEPCK genes in an insulin-like manner.

Abstract
Insulin and phorbol esters stimulated DNA synthesis in rat H4 hepatoma cells. Insulin and phorbol ester induction of thymidine incorporation was dose-dependent, with a maximal 4.2- and 3.0-fold increases at concentrations of 1 x 10(-9)M and 1 microM, respectively. Phorbol esters in combination with increasing concentrations of insulin resulted in additive effects, but only at submaximal insulin concentrations. The combination failed to increase thymidine incorporation above the maximal effects produced by insulin alone. When cells were pretreated with phorbol esters for 24h to produce protein kinase-C (PKC) deficiency, basal DNA synthesis was depressed. Pretreatment with phorbol esters abolished the effects of phorbol esters to induce DNA synthesis but did not impair the magnitude of insulin-induced DNA synthesis. Thus, although phorbol ester-activatable PKC-activity was necessary for basal DNA synthesis, it was not necessary for insulin-induction of DNA synthesis in H4 cells.

Abstract
Insulin is known to play the role of a positive effector both in vitro on the adipose conversion process and in vivo on the fatty acid synthesis and esterification processes in adipose tissue. The effects of insulin on the expression of two genes activated during adipose conversion, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and adipsin genes, have been investigated in 3T3 F442A adipose cells. Within a physiological range of concentrations, insulin exerts opposite effects on the levels of GPDH (EC50 approximately 0.2 nM) and adipsin (EC50 approximately 1 nM) mRNAs. Its negative effect on the abundance of adipsin mRNA involves primarily a rapid inhibition of the transcriptional rate (less than 2 h). Its positive effect on the abundance of GPDH mRNA is due to a stimulation of the transcriptional rate accompanied by a delayed stabilization of GPDH mRNA. In addition, insulin exerts a specific effect on the length of the poly(A) tract of the adipsin mRNA. These results show that a single mechanism for the regulation of adipose-related genes by insulin can be excluded but rather suggest a complex phenomenon in which various levels of regulation take place.

Abstract
A clonal cell line has been established from the interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) of the C57 BL/6J +/+ mouse. The line, designated BFC-1, is aneuploid and exhibits both morphological and biochemical properties characteristics of mature adipocytes. Adipose conversion begins after confluence and is accompanied by an early emergence of lipoprotein lipase; a later emergence of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and acid: CoA ligase; an increase in the average triglyceride content. Adipose conversion, estimated by activities of enzyme markers, is enhanced at any given time by the continuous presence in the culture medium of insulin and triiodothyronine, both within their physiological range of concentrations. In addition to both hormones, chronic exposure of confluent cells to beta-adrenergics brings similar long-term effects on adipose conversion. The uptake of labelled 2-deoxyglucose by differentiated BFC-1 cells is stimulated by insulin; the half-maximum effect is observed at 1 nM insulin. Differentiated BFC-1 cells, in which endogenous triglycerides have been prelabelled on the fatty acid moiety, do respond to beta-adrenergics by releasing radioactive fatty acids. The agonist potency order and the EC50 value for each agonist are BRL 37344 (0.5 nM) greater than isoproterenol (1.5 nM) greater than norepinephrine (3 nM) greater than epinephrine (7 nM) greater than salbutamol (15 nM). The half-maximally and maximally effective concentrations of corticotropin to stimulate lipolysis are found to be 4 and 100 nM, respectively. The lipolytic response to isoproterenol is counteracted by prior addition of insulin or simultaneous addition of propranolol. Parallel studies performed on Ob17 cells, a clonal line established from mouse white adipose tissue (Négrel et al., Proc natl acad sci US 75 (1978) 6054), show that the agonist potency order and the EC50 value for each agonist are BRL 37344 (3 nM) greater than isoproterenol (10 nM) greater than norepinephrine (20 nM) greater than epinephrine (40 nM). Thus both BFC-1 cells and Ob17 cells show an atypical beta-adrenoreceptor similar to that described in rat adipocytes (Arch et al., Nature 309 (1984) 163), but the sensitivity of BFC-1 cells toward beta-agonists is found to be 6-fold higher than that of Ob17 cells. Thus the BFC-1 line represents a useful model for the study of short- and long-term responses to beta-adrenergics.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a mitogenic polypeptide, is usually considered the sole effector by means of which growth hormone increases tissue mass. However, growth hormone, but not IGF-1, directly promotes the differentiation of cultured preadipocytes to adipocytes. Adipocytes newly differentiated from precursor cells in response to growth hormone were shown to be much more sensitive to the mitogenic effect of IGF-1 than the precursor cells. The result of IGF-1 action is therefore a selective multiplication of young differentiated cells (cloned expansion). This supports the concept of a dual effector system in which the preferred target cells of IGF-1 action are created by the direct action of growth hormone.

Abstract
The stroma vascular fraction of adipose tissue consists of a heterogeneous cell population; not all the cells in this compartment undergo adipose conversion in primary culture. A density gradient centrifugation procedure was used to separate cultured cells on the basis of their triglyceride content. This method was applied to both stroma vascular cells from rat adipose tissue and to a 3T3 F442A preadipose cell line as a reference. Comparison of the results obtained from these two cell types suggests that this separation procedure can lead to a quantification of adipose differentiation in the heterogeneous stromal cell population. Separation procedures were applied to cultured stromal cells derived from young rats during the onset of nutritional obesity induced by overfeeding in early life. Results show that early overfeeding induced an increase in the stromal cell differentiation capacity which is expressed in vitro.

Abstract
Conditioned serum-free medium of Ob17 cells transformed by the middle-T-only gene of polyoma virus (Ob17MT cells) is able to support growth and adipose conversion of the parental Ob17 cells. Conditioned media from 3T3-F442A cells (untransformed preadipocyte clonal line) and MTT4 cells (middle-T-transformed non-preadipocyte clonal line) are inactive. The serum-free conditioned medium of Ob17MT cells is also active on growth and adipose conversion of 3T3-F442A cells. The morphological differentiation of Ob17 cells is accompanied by the expression of early (lipoprotein lipase, LPL) and late (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, GPDH) biochemical markers of adipose conversion. Bio-Gel P-60 chromatography and SDS-PAGE have allowed characterization of a mitogenic fraction of apparent MW approximately equal to 28 Kd distinct from an adipogenic fraction of apparent MW less than 10 Kd. This adipogenic fraction is only required for the acquisition of the GPDH activity and is therefore active on terminal differentiation.

Abstract
A serum-free hormone-supplemented medium able to support the growth of rodent adipose precursor cells has been used to characterize additional components from serum required for the differentiation of preadipose Ob17 cells into adipose-like cells. Fetuin is shown to behave as a growth-promoting agent for these cells. In addition to growth hormone, triiodothyronine and a low-molecular weight component(s) also purified from serum, fetuin is required for the full expression of the differentiation program. Other serum proteins as well as other mitogenic factors are unable to substitute for fetuin. A possible role of fetuin in the development of adipose tissue is discussed.

Abstract
Binding of human lipoproteins to cultured mouse Ob17 preadipose and adipose cells was studied, using labeled VLDL, LDL and apoprotein E-free HDL. In each case, saturation curves were obtained, yielding linear Scatchard plots. The Kd values were found to be respectively 6.4, 31 and 24 micrograms/ml for VLDL, LDL and apoprotein E-free HDL, whereas the maximal numbers of binding sites per cell were 4.2 X 10(4), 1.5 X 10(4) and 2.5 X 10(5). The binding of 125I-LDL was competitively inhibited by LDL greater than VLDL greater than total HDL; human LDL and mouse LDL were equipotent in competition assays. Methylated LDL and apoprotein E-free HDL were not competitors. In contrast, the binding of 125I-apoprotein E-free HDL was competitively inhibited by apoprotein E-free HDL greater than total HDL and the binding of 125I-HDL3 by mouse HDL. Thus, mouse adipose cells possess distinct apoprotein B, E and apoprotein E-free HDL binding sites which can recognize heterologous or homologous lipoproteins. The cell surface receptor of LDL in mouse preadipose cells shows similarities with that described for human fibroblasts, since: (1) the LDL binding initiated the process of internalization and degradation of the apoprotein B and apoprotein E-containing lipoproteins; (2) receptor-mediated uptake of cholesterol LDL led to a parallel but incomplete decrease in the [14C]acetate incorporation into cholesterol and in the activity of HMG-CoA reductase. Growing (undifferentiated) or growth-arrested cells (differentiated or not) showed no significant changes in the Kd values for lipoprotein binding. In contrast, the maximal number of binding sites correlated with the proliferative state of the cells and was independent of cell differentiation. The results are discussed with respect to cholesterol accumulation in adipose cells.

Abstract
Adipose conversion of ob17 preadipocyte cells was studied in insulin-depleted (less than 0.2 pM), serum-supplemented medium. The results show that insulin is neither required for the commitment of stem cells ( adipoblasts ) to preadipocytes nor for the onset of the differentiation program and the post-confluent mitoses of preadipocytes to adipocyte-like cells. No unmasking of insulin 'super' receptors and no cellular production of insulin can be detected in cells exposed to insulin-depleted medium. Insulin enhances only the rate of the lipid-filling process of differentiating cells and thus the number of fat cell clusters visible after staining for neutral lipids. Therefore, in the light of these and previous results [17, 18], the role of insulin is only to act as a modulator in the expression of the differentiation program.

Abstract
Ob17 is a clonal cell line isolated from the epididymal fat pad of C57 BL/6J ob/ob mouse that differentiates into adiposelike cells in serum-supplemented medium. In serum-free medium, this cell line shows increased growth under the addition of insulin, transferrin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and a factor present in extract of rat submaxillary gland (SMGE). This medium is referred to as 4F. Epidermal growth factor or nerve growth factor cannot replace SMGE, whereas partially purified platelet extract can substitute for FGF but only partially for SMGE. 4F Medium is able to support the proliferation of cells from other established preadipocyte clonal lines, HGFu and 3T3-F442A, and also of preadipocyte cells isolated from the stromal-vascular fraction of rat and mouse adipose tissues. In each case 4F medium is insufficient to support the differentiation of these cells into adipocytes. Ob17 cells grown and maintained in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium retain the ability to convert to adiposelike cells after serum addition. This serum requirement for differentiation cannot be substituted by the addition of growth hormone or of other putative adipogenic factors, or both. The results are discussed with respect to the requirements for growth and differentiation of the 3T3-L1 and 1246 preadipocyte cell lines previously described.

Abstract
ob17 cells convert into adipose-like cells when maintained in the presence of physiological concentrations of insulin and tri-iodothyronine. After this conversion, insulin removal from differentiated ob17 cells gives within 24-48 h a large decrease in fatty acid synthetase, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and acid:CoA ligase activities, as well as in the rate of fatty acid synthesis determined by [14C]acetate incorporation into lipids. All parameters are restored by insulin addition to initial values within 24-48 h. Dose-response curves of insulin on the restoration of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and of fatty acid synthesis give half-maximally effective concentrations close to 1 nM, in agreement with the affinity for insulin of the insulin receptors previously characterized in these cells. Immunotitration experiments indicate that the changes in the specific activity of fatty acid synthetase are due to parallel changes in the cellular enzyme content. Therefore the ob17 cell line should be a useful model to study the long-term effects of insulin on the modulation of lipid synthesis in adipose cells.
