Far-infrared rays enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and GLUT3 expression under low glucose conditions in rat skeletal muscle cells.

ABSTRACT: Far-infrared rays (FIR) are known to have various effects on atoms and molecular structures within cells owing to their radiation and vibration frequencies. The present study examined the effects of FIR on gene expression related to glucose transport through microarray analysis in rat skeletal muscle cells, as well as on mitochondrial biogenesis, at high and low glucose conditions. FIR were emitted from a bio-active material coated fabric (BMCF). L6 cells were treated with 30% BMCF for 24 h in medium containing 25 or 5.5 mM glucose, and changes in the expression of glucose transporter genes were determined. The expression of GLUT3 (Slc2a3) increased 2.0-fold (p < 0.05) under 5.5 mM glucose and 30% BMCF. In addition, mitochondrial oxygen consumption and membrane potential (??_m) increased 1.5- and 3.4-fold (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001), respectively, but no significant change in expression of Pgc-1a, a regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, was observed in 24 h. To analyze the relationship between GLUT3 expression and mitochondrial biogenesis under FIR, GLUT3 was down-modulated by siRNA for 72 h. As a result, the ??_m of the GLUT3 siRNA-treated cells increased 3.0-fold (p < 0.001), whereas that of the control group increased 4.6-fold (p < 0.001). Moreover, Pgc-1a expression increased upon 30% BMCF treatment for 72 h; an effect that was more pronounced in the presence of GLUT3. These results suggest that FIR may hold therapeutic potential for improving glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function in metabolic diseases associated with insufficient glucose supply, such as type 2 diabetes.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE15259: The effects of far-infrared rays on normal prostate epithelial cells (PrEC) GSE15260: Effects of far-infrared rays on 3 human prostate cancer cell lines GSE16077: Effects of far-infrared rays on human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 FIR stands for far-infrared rays that was reflected and radiated from RB. Refer to individual Series RNA was extracted with Isogen kit (NIPPON GENE CO., LTD. Osaka, Japan) from PrECs, and PC-3 with or without exposure to FIR on the 7th and 12th day of culture. Aliquots of 200 ng of total RNAs were labeled with Cy3- or Cy5- UTP using Agilent Quick Amp Labeling Kit (Agilent Technologies Inc, Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer instructions. The Cy3-labeled probe using RNA from cells treated with DMSO and the Cy5-labeled probe using RNA from cells treated with DNCB for 4.5 hr were mixed, fragmented, and then suspended in GE hybridization buffer in the Gene Expression Hybridization Kit (Agilent Technologies Inc, Tokyo, Japan). The probes were applied to Whole Human Genome Oligo array (Agilent Technologies Inc, Tokyo, Japan), and hybridization, washing, and scanning by Agilent Microarray Scanner were performed according to the manufacturer $B!G (Bs recommended protocol. The images were processed using Feature Extraction Software (ver9.5.3.1, Agilent). For each hybridized spot, background intensity was subtracted and normalized by the global LOWESS normalization method. Dye-swap was performed. More than 2 fold and less than 0.5 fold changes are assigned positive on data analysis. RNA extracted from FIR-treated and non-FIR treated DU145, PC3, and LNCaP on the 21st and 28th day of culture were also treated in the same way except the use of commercially available IntelliGene HS Human Expression chip (TAKARA BIO, Otsu, Japan). Data analysis was performed using the microarray data analysis software, Expressionist (GeneData AG, Basel, Switzerland). Functional analyses were performed and the networks were generated using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (Ingenuity Systems, CA, USA) cDNA microarray. BRCA1 and associated genes for DNA repair were significantly up-regulated in PrECs on the 7th day, and PC-3 on the 12th day when they were exposed to FIR (Fig. 2). These up-regulated genes were all normalized on the 12th day in PrECs, and there were no significant up-regulation of DNA repair pathway by FIR in DU145 and LNCaP on the 7th and 12th day.
