In this study, the researchers found that postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) in association with insulin can promote the adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs), which plays a crucial role in the development of obesity. The mechanism involves the activation of the PI3K/AKT1 signaling pathway mediated by the interaction between low-density lipoprotein-related protein 1 (LRP1) and caveolin-1 (Cav-1). These findings highlight the importance of postprandial TRL in the pathogenesis of hypertriglyceridemia and diet-induced obesity.
Diet-induced obesity (OB) is usually accompanied by hypertriglyceridemia, which is characterized by the accumulation of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein (TRL) particles in the circulation. We previously found that postprandial TRL combined with insulin induced the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, which may represent a key mechanism underlying obesity. However, the specific mechanism and signaling pathway involved in this process remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we found that, in the postprandial state, patients with obesity had significantly higher levels of TG and remnant cholesterol (RC) than normal-weight controls. In vitro, we found that postprandial TRL, together with insulin, promoted the adipogenic differentia-tion of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs), as evidenced by the increased expression of lipogenesis-related genes and their protein products, including low-density lipoprotein related protein 1 (LRP1). Besides, caveolin-1 (Cav-1) expression was also significantly upregulated under this condition. Cav-1 and LRP1 were observed to interact, and then led to the activation of the PI3K/AKT1 signaling pathway. Meanwhile, the inhibition of LRP1 or Cav-1 significantly attenuated the adipogenic differentiation of AMSCs and downregulated AKT1 phosphorylation levels. Moreover, treatment with a selective AKT1 inhibitor significantly suppressed postprandial TRL and insulin-induced adipogenesis in AMSCs. Combined, our results demonstrated that, in as-sociation with insulin, postprandial TRL can promote the adipogenic differentiation of AMSCs in a manner that is dependent on the LRP1/Cav-1-mediated activation of the PI3K/AKT1 signaling pathway. Our findings indicated that a postprandial increase in TRL content is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of hypertriglyceridemia and diet-induced obesity.
