The related parameters of lipid metabolism and cell proliferation were measured. The results firstly showed that FoxO1 interference increased the intracellular TG and lipids concentration (P < 0.05); and increased the proliferative index (PI), cell DNA synthesis, protein expression of Cyclin D1 in goose primary hepatocytes (P < 0.05). Secondly, the co-treatment of insulin and FoxO1 interference increased the mRNA level and protein content of Cyclin D1 (P < 0.05); however, there was no significant difference between the insulin treatment and the co-treatment of insulin and miR-FoxO1 interference in the intracellular TG and lipids concentration and PI (P > 0.05). Lastly, the decrease of intracellular TG and lipids concentration and PI induced by NVP-BEZ235 was up-regulated by FoxO1 interference significantly (P < 0.05). In summary, FoxO1 could regulate the lipids metabolism and cell proliferation mediated by PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway in goose primary hepatocytes. Further investigations are required to highlight the potential role of FoxO1 in the lipid metabolism and cell proliferation mediated by insulin in goose primary hepatocyte.
