摘要

Purpose

Endocrine-disrupting compounds, including bisphenol A (BPA), may promote obesity influencing basal metabolic rate and shifting metabolism towards energy storage. The role of 1,25‑Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VitD) in counteracting adipogenesis is still a matter of debate. Thus, the current study aims to investigate whether and how VitD exposure during adipogenesis could prevent the pro-adipogenic effect of BPA in two adipocyte models, mouse 3T3-L1 cell line and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC).

Methods

3T3-L1, mouse pre-adipocytes and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC) were treated with VitD (10⁻⁷ M) and BPA (10⁻⁸ M and 10⁻⁹ M), alone or in combination, throughout the differentiation in mature adipocytes. Cellular lipid droplet accumulation was assessed by Oil Red O staining, mRNA and protein expression of key adipogenic markers, transcription factors, and cytokines were investigated by RT-qPCR and WB, respectively. miRNAs involved in the regulation of adipogenic transcription factors were evaluated by RT-qPCR, and highly potent steric-blocking oligonucleotides (miRNA inhibitors) were used to modulate miRNAs expression.

Results

Pre-adipocytes express VitD receptor (VDR) in basal condition, but during the differentiation process VDR expression reduces if not stimulated by the ligand. VitD significantly decreases lipid accumulation, with a consequent reduction in adipogenic marker expression, and counteracts the pro-adipogenic effect of BPA in 3T3-L1 and hAMSC during differentiation. This effect is associated to the increased expression of miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p. The blocking of miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p through miRNA inhibitors prevents the anti-adipogenic effect of VitD in both cell models.

Conclusions

These results suggest that in cultured 3T3-L1 and hAMSC VitD induces an anti-adipogenic effect and prevents BPA pro-adipogenic effect by triggering at least in part epigenetic mechanisms involving miR-27-3p.
