Objective To compare the expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 ( 11β-HSD1 ) in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue from obese and normal subjects ,explore the variable expression of 11β-HSD1 in different fat depots and its association with obesity.Methods 23 patients undergoing appendicitis surgery were divided into obesity group and control group according to BMl.Gene expression of 11β-HSD1 in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue samples from both groups were determined by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR), and protein expression of 11β-HSD1 were determined by western blots.Results Both groups had higher 11β-HSD1 expression in visceral adipose tissue than that in subcutaneous adipose tissue.11β-HSD1 expression in visceral adipose tissue from OB group was higher than that from control group,whereas no significant difference was found in subcutaneous adipose tissue between two groups.Conclusions 11β-HSD1 was expressed either in subcutaneous or in visceral adipose tissue.The over-expression of 11β-HSD1 is associated with obesity, which mainly promotes the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue.%目的 检测肥胖患者皮下及内脏脂肪组织中11β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶1(11β-HSD1)含量,了解11β-HSD1在脂肪组织的分布以及与肥胖症之间的关系.方法 选取急性阑尾炎手术患者23例,根据BMI分为肥胖组及正常体重组.术中采集肥胖及正常体重者皮下和内脏脂肪组织,运用RT-PCR法及免疫印迹法检测皮下和内脏脂肪组织中11β-HSD1的表达.结果 RT-PCR和免疫印迹检测结果显示11β-HSD1在肥胖组及正常体重组皮下及内脏脂肪组织均有表达,其中两组内脏脂肪组织的表达均显著高于皮下脂肪组织表达.组间比较显示,肥胖组内脏脂肪组织中检测到11β-HSD1表达量要显著高于正常体重组,但在两组间皮下脂肪组织中的表达量无明显差异.结论 人皮下及内脏脂肪组织均有11β-HSD1的表达,脂肪组织中11β-HSD1的表达与肥胖有关,其主要促进内脏脂肪组织的堆积.
