摘要

L-arginine (L-Arg) is metabolised in the cell to generate nitric oxide (NO) and citrulline via nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO is an important cellular signalling molecule that regulates lipid and glucose metabolism. The biological availability of NO is affected by the NOS inhibitor; NG-nitro-L-Arg methyl ester (L-NAME) and the external NO donor; S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D, L-penicillamine (SNAP). Mouse adipocyte 3T3 L1 cells were cultured with 0, 400 and 800 µM L-Arg or control complete DMEM media. The impact of L-NAME (4 mM), and SNAP (100 µM) was also analysed. The cell fitness was similar and the mRNA levels of AMPK was increased and ACC-1 was decreased, whilst the activation of AMPK and ACC-1 was decreased upon the addition of exogenous L-Arg. Transcript and protein levels of AMPK and ACC-1 were regulated by addition of L-NAME and SNAP, however the impact of these targets was related to the concentration of L-Arg added to the cells and the culture time point of analysis. NO in the form of NO2− in cell culture supernatant was elevated in 400 and 800 µM L-Arg cultures. L-NAME significantly inhibited NO production from adipose cells in a time-dependent manner and subsequently impacted AMPK and ACC expression. Associated with these changes were changed in the concentration of L-Arg, L-Cit and L-Orn in the culture media. Collectively, these results show that excess L-Arg is sensed by the cell which then regulates AMPK and ACC-1 expression in response. The findings could have implications in modulation of signalling pathways for treating obesity and obesity induced diabetic mellitus.
