概括

怀孕和哺乳期涉及母亲的代谢适应. 虽然关键的下丘脑区域的O-链接N-乙糖胺 (O-GlcNAc) 水平保持不变,但O-GlcNAcylation修饰的特定蛋白质在各种生殖状态之间存在差异.

科学领域:

神经内分泌学神经内分泌学
代谢适应的过程
翻译后修改翻译后修改

背景情况:

怀孕需要显著的母体代谢调整,以支持胎儿发育和哺乳.
脑下垂体核,包括副腹腔核 (PVN),腹中垂体核 (VMH) 和弧形核 (ARC),调节能量稳态,并在怀孕期间发生适应性变化.
这些适应部分归因于瘦素敏感性降低,但葡萄糖水平升高和随后的O-链接N-乙糖胺 (O-GlcNAc) 蛋白质修饰 (O-GlcNAcylation) 也可能起作用.

研究的目的:

调查怀孕期间O-GlcNAcylation在ARC,VMH和PVN中增加,以支持母亲的代谢需求的假设.
检查不同生殖状态 (非怀孕,怀孕后期,哺乳期) 中特定的下丘脑区域内O-GlcNAcylation的变化.

主要方法:

免疫组织化学和西部抹杀被用来评估O-GlcNAc在ARC,VMH和PVN的表达大鼠.
分析了来自非怀孕,怀孕晚期和哺乳期雌性大鼠的样本.

主要成果:

与假设相反,O-GlcNAc表达细胞的数量和整体O-GlcNAc蛋白水平在每个下丘脑区域的非怀孕,晚期怀孕和哺乳期状态中是相似的.
西部斑点分析显示,经过O-GlcNAcylation的特定蛋白质在ARC,VMH和PVN内的繁殖状态之间存在差异.

结论:

在怀孕和哺乳期间,下丘脑的整体O-GlcNAcylation水平似乎不会增加.
不同的生殖状态期间在关键的下丘脑区域的特定蛋白质的差异性O-GlcNAcylation表明在母亲的代谢适应中可能发挥作用.
需要进一步的研究来确定这些特定的蛋白质,并阐明它们对应对怀孕和哺乳期代谢需求的贡献.

Oligosaccharide Assembly

Oligosaccharide Assembly

Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.

Proteoglycans

Proteoglycans

Glycans, a class of complex heterogeneous molecules, can be covalently attached to proteins to form glycosylated proteins that regulate various physiological and pathological processes. Glycosylated proteins or glycoproteins comprise N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. O-glycosylation is the most common type of protein glycosylation. Here, glycans attach to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl groups of Serine or Threonine residues. O-linked glycosylation occurs later in protein processing,...

Protein Glycosylation

Protein Glycosylation

Glycosylation, the most common post-translational modification for proteins, serves diverse functions. Adding sugars to proteins makes the proteins more resistant to proteolytic digestion. Glycosylated proteins can act as markers and receptors to promote cell-cell adhesion. Additionally, they have many essential quality control functions in the cell, such as correct protein folding and facilitating transport of misfolded proteins to the cytosol, which can be degraded.
Glycosylation occurs in...
