본 연구에서는 산딸기 잎의 항비만 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에 산딸기 잎 추출물을 처리한 후 중성지방 함량을 측정하고 지방생성과 관련된 여러 단백질의 발현 양상을 측정하였다. 산딸기 잎은 열수로 추출·농축하여 시료로 사용하였으며 추출물의 수율은 4.76%였다. 산딸기 잎 추출물에 의한 3T3-L1 세포 생존율을 측정한 결과, 1,000 ㎍/mL 농도에서 13%의 성장 저해를 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 본 연구에서 시료 처리 농도를 500 ㎍/mL까지 처리하여 실험을 진행하였다. 세포 내 중성지방의 생성은 농도의존적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 감소율은 대조군에 비하여 농도 100, 300, 500 ㎍/mL에서 각각 28.7, 40.8, 51.6%를 나타내었다. 또한 PPARγ, C/EBPα 및 SREBP-1c, FAS 및 ACC의 발현 억제, p-AMPK 발현 증가로 지방합성이 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과, 산딸기 잎 추출물이 지방세포 분화 및 지방생성 관련 인자들을 조절함으로서 비만 개선 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 국내 산림자생 식물 추출물 5종(밤나무, 진달래, 산수유, 복분자딸기, 갈참나무)에 대한 지방세포 분화 억제 및 활성산소종(ROS) 생성 억제 효능을 평가하였다. 지방세포 분화 중 세포 내 지방축적 및 ROS 생성량을 비교한 결과, 국내 산림 식물 5종 모두 지방축적량 및 ROS 생성량을 농도 유의적으로 감소키는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 복분자딸기 추출물을 처리한 지방세포에서 지방 축적 및 ROS 저감에 가장 크게 나타났으며 양성대조군으로 사용된 N-acetyl-L-cysteine과 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 복분자딸기 추출물을 처리함으로써 지방세포의 분화를 조절하는 전사인자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$ 및 aP2 발현이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 국내 산림 식물 5종 추출물은 천연물에서 유래한 항비만 및 항산화 활성 기능성식품 소재로 활용 가능할 것으로 생각한다.

Cathepsin S is a cysteine protease that affects extracellular matrix remodeling. Recently, several studies have reported that cathepsin S is involved in obesity. Both mouse and human adipose cells produce this enzyme in the early phase of adipocyte differentiation, where it degrades fibronectin. Cathepsin S gene expression is elevated in the adipose tissue of obese mice as compared to that of lean mice. Paecilomyces tenuipes water extracts (PTW) are shown to have an inhibitory effect on cathepsin S activity. In this study, Z-Val-Val-Arg-MCA was used as a cathepsin S-specific substrate in order to examine inhibitory effect of PTW. Supplementing 3T3-L1 cell media with PTW clearly reduced lipid droplet accumulation and cathepsin S-induced adipogenesis. Furthermore, PTW decreased weight gain, subcutaneous adipose tissue growth, the level of serum triglyceride, and total cholesterol in mice fed a high-fat diet. These data suggest that PTW work against adipose cathepsin S and presumably contribute to anti-obese activities.

본 연구는 뽕나무 열매 착즙 분말 (MJ)이 지방세포 분화과정에서 염증에 관여하는 유전자 발현 및 miR-132/143 조절에 미치는 효과에 중점을 두고 조사하였다. MJ는 3T3-L1 지방세포 분화 동안 지질축적이 억제되었고 PPAR-γ, CEBP-α 및 aP2와 같은 지방형성 유전자 발현을 억제하였다. 또한 염증 조절 매개체인 TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 및 iNOS 유전자 발현이 MJ 처리에 의해 감소되었다. MJ의 지질 축적 억제 효과는 염증과 지방분화에 관여하는 miR-132/143의 발현 감소와 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 MJ는 염증을 동반하는 비만 예방 및 치료에 도움이 될 수 있는 식품 소재로서 가능성이 있음을 시사하고 있다. 그러나 MJ의 주요 성분인 안토시아닌의 생체이용율은 1-2% 미만으로 추정되며 예상되는 표적 조직이나 혈류에서 미량 검출되는 것으로 알려져 있다 [33]. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 생체 내 동물실험을 통한 다각적인 분석이 향후 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Obesity occurs when a person's calorie intake exceeds the amount of energy burns, which may lead to pathologic growth of adipocytes and the accumulation of fat in the tissues. In this study, the effect and mechanism of pear pomace extracts on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and apoptosis of mature adipocytes were investigated. The effects of pear pomace extract on cell viability and the anti-adipogenic and proapoptotic effects were investigated via MTT assay, Oil red O staining, western blot analysis and apoptosis assay. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were stimulated with DMEM containing 10% FBS, 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), $5{\mu}g/ml$ insulin and $1{\mu}M$ dexamethasone for differentiation to adipocytes. 3T3-L1 cells were cultured with PBS or water extract of pear pomace. Water extract of pear pomace effectively inhibited lipid accumulations and expressions of PPAR-${\gamma}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$ in 3T3-L1 cells. It also increased expression of p-AMPK and decreased the expression of SREBP-1c and FAS in 3T3-L1 cells. The induction of apoptosis was observed in 3T3-L1 cells treated with pear pomace. These results indicate that pear pomace water extract inhibits adipogenesis and induces apoptosis of adipocytes and thus can be used as a potential therapeutic substance as part of prevention or treatment strategy for obesity.

In order to investigate the anti-obesity effects of Gambibang-2(here in after referred to GBB2) on the obese gene and obese inhibitory, C57BL/6 mice were induced by high fat diet. C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups(normal, high fat diet with control, high fat diet with Reductil(here in after referred to RDT), high fat diet with GBB2 extract) and fed for 8 weeks. And observed that, body weight change, the weight change of the adipocytes in body and liver, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, leptin change in the serum, the expression of ${\beta}3AR$ and leptin gene in 3T3 cell and primary adipocyte cell, histological analysis of adipose tissue and liver tissue. GBB2 and RDT group showed that the revelation of ${\beta}3AR$ in primary adipose cell and 3T3 cell were increased considerably, and that the revelation of leptin in primary adipose cell and 3T3-L1 cell were decreased considerably. GBB2 and RDT group showed that the body weight were decreased considerably after 7-8 weeks. GBB2 and RDT group showed that the weight of adipocyte and liver were decreased. GBB2 and RDT group showed that the amount of HDL-Cholesterol were increased, the amount of glucose, LDL-Cholesterol and Triglyceride were decreased considerably. GBB2 group showed that the amount of leptin in the serum were decreased. GBB2 and RDT group showed that the size of adipocyte in adipocytes tissue and the adipose vacuoles in liver tissue were decreased. Taking all these observations into account, GBB2 considered to be effective in treating on the obese gene and obese inhibitory. Therefore we have to survey continuously in looking for the effective substance and mechanism in the future.

This study attempted to investigate the effects of resveratrol on the differentiation of adipocytes. After cells were treated with various concentrations of resveratrol (0, 10, 20, and 40 ${\mu}mol/L$), adipocyte proliferation, the protein expression of transcription factors, and MMPs' activities were determined. Cell proliferation was inhibited more within 4 days of incubation (P<0.05), and lipid accumulation in adipocyte was significantly inhibited by 93.8%, 92.4% and 91.5%, respectively, after two days of 10, 20, and 40 ${\mu}mol/L$ resveratrol treatment (P<0.05). Six days of incubation with the three resveratrol concentrations caused a significantly decreases of 63%, 59.9%, and 25.1% GPDH activity as a dose-dependent response. The triglyceride concentration also decreased significantly with the increase of resveratrol concentration (P<0.05). The protein expression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/$EBP{\beta}$) was decreased significantly by 56% and 30% while $PPAR{\gamma}$ was significantly reduced by 57% and 15% with resveratrol treatments of 20 and 40 ${\mu}mol/L$, respectively (P<0.05). The protein expression of C/$EBP{\alpha}$ was decreased by 83%, 74%, and 38% to increased dosage levels, with significance determined for this decrease from 20 ${\mu}mol/L$ of resveratrol. The protein expression of fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) was decreased significantly by 88%, 72%, and 46% with the increase of resveratrol concentration. The activity of MMP-2 was decreased significantly by 84%, 70%, and 63% while MMP-9 activity was decreased significantly by 74%, 62%, and 39% with the increased resveratrol concentrations of 10, 20, and 40 ${\mu}mol/L$, respectively (P<0.05).

Ricinus communis, belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae, has been known as medicinal plants for treatment of inflammation, tumors, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective and laxative. Compared to many pharmacological studies, the effect of R. communis extract on regulating adipogenesis as therapeutic drug for treating obesity has not been reported. R. communis extract (RCE) was investigated to determine its effects on the adipogenesis by monitoring the status of $Wnt/{\beta}-catenin$ signaling and factors involving the differentiation of adipocytes. The differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells monitored by Oil Red O staining was inhibited in concentration dependent manner by RCE. The luciferase activity of HEK 293-TOP cells containing pTOPFlash with Tcf4 response element-luciferase gene was increased approximately 2-folds by the treatment of RCE at concentrations of $100{\mu}g/mL$ compared to the control. Activation of the $Wnt/{\beta}-catenin$ pathway by RCE was further confirmed by immunocytochemical analysis which shows an increment of nuclear localization of ${\beta}-catenin$. In addition, safety of RCE was verified through performing neural stem cell morphology assay. Among the identified flavonoids in RCE, isoquercitrin was the most abundant. Therefore, these results indicate that the adipocyte differentiation was significantly reduced by isoquercitrin in R. communis. In this study, RCE suppresses the adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells via the activation of $Wnt/{\beta}-catenin$ signaling.
