Abstract:

【Objective】 The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between insulin-like growth factor 1 (insulin-like growth factor, IGF-1) and RNA binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) during hypothermia stress and cell freezing in animals, and to investigate the mechanism of IGF-1 involved in inhibiting hypothermia injury of mammalian cells. 【Method】 Yak (Bos grunniens) cumulus cells were cultured in vitro, the effects of different concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 200 ng·mL -1) IGF-1 and hypothermia stress (25℃ and 30℃) on RBM3 expression in yak cumulus cells were detected by the methods of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence. The expression of RBM3 was compared when the cumulus cells treated with 100 ng·mL -1 and 0 IGF-1 for 30 h and then stressed at low temperature (25℃ and 30℃) for 8 h. The difference of apoptosis level of cumulus cells was evaluated from the groups that treated with 0 ng·mL -1 IGF-1, 100 ng·mL -1IGF-1, 100 ng·mL -1 IGF-1+RBM3 inhibitor for 30 h and then stressed at 25℃ for 8 h. The expression of apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl-2) in cumulus cells from three groups was also detected at mRNA and protein levels. 【Result】 (1) The expression level of RBM3 in cumulus cells treated with IGF-1 was significantly higher than that in control group (0 ng·mL -1), which was the highest in cumulus cells from 100 ng·mL -1 IGF-1 group. The RBM3 protein could be detected in nucleus and cytoplasm of cumulus cells, which only expressed in cytoplasm under 0 and 50 ng·mL -1 treatment groups. (2) The levels of RBM3 could be increased by hypothermia stress, and which also could be enhanced when 100 ng·mL -1 IGF-1 was added before cold stress. The RBM3 protein could be detected in nucleus and cytoplasm of cumulus cells after hypothermia stress and treated with IGF-1. (3) After stress at 25℃ for 8 h, the apoptosis rate of cumulus cells treated with 100 ng·mL -1 IGF-1 was (15.94 ±2.03)%, which was significantly lower than those of cumulus cells without IGF-1 treatment (25.86 ±1.09)% or with 100 ng·mL -1 IGF-1+RBM3 inhibitor (20.14±2.65)%. The expression level of Bcl-2 was significantly higher than those in the control and IGF-1+RBM3 inhibitor groups (P<0.05), while the expression level of Bax was significantly lower than control and IGF-1+RBM3 inhibitor groups (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】RBM3 was involved in the regulation of hypothermia stress in yak cumulus cells, and IGF-1 could regulate its expression level in hypothermia stress, which helped to reducing the apoptosis of cumulus cells induced by low temperature. The results in this study provided the key information for revealing the molecular mechanism of IGF-1 and RBM3 involved in the protection of animal bodies or cells from hypothermia damage, and provided theoretical basis for the improvement of somatic and germ cell freezing techniques.
