    Abstract:
    Obesity is a severe disease worldwide. Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) may be related to metabolic abnormalities in obese individuals, but the mechanism is still unclear. We aimed to investigate whether nuclear receptors NR1D1 and ULK1 influence obesity by affecting mitophagy. In vitro model was established by inducing 3T3-L1 cells differentiation. MTT was detected cell viability. ELISA was tested triglyceride (TG). Oil red O staining was performed to detect lipid droplets. Flow cytometry was measured mtROS. ChIP and Dual-luciferase reporter assay were verified NR1D1 bind to ULK1. LC3 level was detected by IF. After differentiation medium treatment, cell viability was decreased, TG content and lipid droplets were increased Moreover, NR1D1 expression was reduced in Model group. NR1D1 overexpression was increased cell viability, reduced TG content and lipid droplets. Subsequently, NR1D1 inhibited TOM20 and mtROS, whereas, Parkin and PINK1 were accelerated. NR1D1 overexpression facilitated LC3 expression, whereas ULK1 knockdown was reversed the effect of NR1D1 overexpression. Liensinine also reversed the effect of NR1D1 overexpression, that is, cell viability was reduced, mtROS, TG content and lipid droplets were increased. The combination of nuclear receptor NR1D1 and ULK1 promoted mitophagy in adipocytes to alleviate obesity, which provided new target and strategy for obesity treatment.Abbreviations: Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy), triglyceride (TG), Uncoordinated-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1), Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 1 (NR1D1), American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), fetal bovine serum (FBS), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), dexamethasone (DEX), short hairpin RNA ULK1 (sh-ULK1), wild-type (WT), mutant (MUT), Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Immunofluorescence (IF), standard deviation (SD).
