| Abstract | To explore the effects of Lyrm1 knockdown on the mitochondrial function of 3 T3-L1 adipocytes using small interfering RNA (siRNA). 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes were infected with either a negative control (NC) expression lentivirus or a Lyrm1-shRNA expression lentivirus and induced to differentiate. The knockdown efficiency of Lrym1-specific shRNA in 3 T3-L1 cells was evaluated by real-time PCR. The ultrastructure of the mitochondria in adipocytes was visualized using transmission electron microscopy after differentiation. The levels of mitochondrial DNA copy numbers and Ucp2 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The levels of ATP production was detected using a photon-counting luminometer. The mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS levels of cells were analyzed with a FACScan flow cytometer using Cell Quest software. Cells transfected with lentiviral-Lyrm1-shRNA showed a significantly reduced transcription of Lyrm1 mRNA compared with NC cells. The size and ultrastructure of mitochondria in Lyrm1 knockdown adipocytes was similar to those of the NC cells. There was no significant difference in mtDNA copy number between the two groups. The total level of ATP production, mitochondrial membrane potential and Ucp2 mRNA expression levels were dramatically increased in adipocytes transfected with Lyrm1 RNAi. Furthermore, the level of ROS was dramatically decreased in Lyrm1 knockdown adipocytes. Knockdown of the Lyrm1 gene in adipocytes resulted in dramatically increased cellular ATP production, mitochondrial membrane potentials and levels Ucp2 mRNA, while ROS levels were significantly decreased. These results imply that mitochondrial function is improved in adipocytes after the knockdown of Lyrm1. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
