본 연구는 자색옥수수 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물의 항비만 활성을 검정하고자 지방분해효소 저해활성을 평가하고 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에서 지방분화억제 효과를 검정하고자 수행되었다. Pancreatic lipase 저해 활성 결과, 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 100, 500, $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도처리구에서 양성대조군인 orlistat 보다 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 배양하여 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 세포독성 평가를 수행한 결과, 추출물은 모든 처리농도에서 세포 생존율에 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 분화된 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에서 색소 1호 포엽과 속대 추출물을 처리하지 않고 분화시킨 대조군은 lipid droplet의 형성이 활발하게 유발되었으나 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물의 처리에 의해 농도 의존적으로 lipid droplet의 형성이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. Real-time PCR과 Western blot을 실시하여 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 $C/EBP{\alpha}$ 유전자 및 단백질 발현량을 측정한 결과, 추출물을 처리하지 않고 분화시킨 대조군에서는 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 $C/EBP{\alpha}$의 유전자 및 단백질 발현이 증가하였으며, 추출물 처리에 의해 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 $C/EBP{\alpha}$의 유전자 및 단백질 발현이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 본 연구 결과는 색소 1호 포엽 및 속대 추출물이 pancreatic lipase 활성 및 지방전구 세포의 분화를 억제시킴으로써 항비만 활성 기능성 물질로의 활용 가능성이 높음을 시사한다.

천연생약 자초의 한 성분인 shikonin은 항염증, 항암 및 항비만 등 다양한 분야에 효과를 보여왔다. 이번 연구에서는 shikonin이유도하는 adipogenesis억제 과정에 어떤 인자들이 작용하는지 살펴보았다. Shikonin의 효과에 대한 분자적 메커니즘을 규명하기 위해, real-time PCR을 이용하여 C/EBPs, $PPAR{\gamma}$를 포함한 다양한 adipogenesis 인자들의 mRNA 발현량을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 초기 분화의 주요 조절자인 C/$EBP{\beta}$와 C/$EPB{\delta}$는 shikonin에 의해 거의 변화가 없었으나, 후기 분화의 주요 조절자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$와 C/$EPB{\alpha}$의 mRNA 발현은 유의하게 감소하였다. Shikonin에 의한 adipogenesis억제의 메커니즘을 좀 더 자세히 밝히기 위해 adipogenesis과정의 상위 단계에 위치한 조절자들의 mRNA 발현을 분석하였다. C/$EBP{\beta}$의 상위 조절자인 C/$EBP{\gamma}$, CHOP은 shikonin에 의해 영향을 받지 않았으나, KROX20의 경우 유의하게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 Pro-adipogenic 인자인 KROX20의 감소가 C/$EBP{\beta}$에 영향을 주기 보다는 C/$EBP{\beta}$와 독립적으로 그 하위의 인자들에게 영향을 줄 수 있음을 제시한다. $PPAR{\gamma}$의 상위 조절자로 알려져 있는 KLF 들 중에서 pro-adipogenic 인자인 KLF15의 mRNA 발현은 shikonin에 의해 급격히 감소하였으나 anti-adipogenic 인자인 KLF2는 shikonin에 의한 변화가 거의 없었다. 또 다른 pro-adipogenic 인자인 KLF5의 경우, 주로 작용하는 초기 분화에서는 shikonin에 의해 거의 변화가 없었지만, 후기 분화에서는 조금 증가하였다. 이러한 후기 분화에서의 KLF5의 변화는 KLF15에 비해 전체 분화에 크게 영향을 주지 못하는 것 같다. 결론적으로, shikonin은 pro-adipogenic 인자인, KROX20과 KLF15의 조절을 통해 $PPAR{\gamma}$ 및 C/$EPB{\alpha}$의 mRNA 발현을 억제함으로써 지방 세포의 분화를 저해한다고 사료된다.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)는 전지방세포의 증식 및 분화를 억제시키므로서 포유동물에서 지방의 축적을 감소시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 논 연구의 목적은 diglyceride(DG), CLA, 및 DG-CLA가 전지방세포의 증식 및 분화를 억제시키는지를 알아보고자, 세포생존측정, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) 활성측정, 지방축적에 대한 Oil red O 염색을 실시하였다. DG, CLA, 및 DG-CLA의 처치는 전지방세포의 증식을 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰으며, 그러한 효과는 CLA에서 가장 강하게 나타났다. 이들 시험물질의 $100 {\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 DG, CLA, DG-CLA는 유의적으로 GPDH의 활성을 낮추었으며(p<0.05), 이러한 결과는 전지방세포의 분화를 억제하는 것을 의미한다. 더불어 이들 시험물질은 전지방세포의 분화과정 중에 지방축적을 효과적으로 억제시켰다. 더욱이 DG-CLA가 DG 혹은 CLA보다 분화 및 지방축적에 대해 더 강한 효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과로부터 DG-CLA의 섭취는 사람에서 체중조절의 유용한 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects water extract of fermented new korean medicinal mixture, combinations of Mori Folium, Adenophorae Radix, Phllostachyos Folium and Citri Pericarpium (F-MAPC), on adipocyte differentiation, adipogenesis and glucose uptake using undiffernentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and L6 myoblasts. Methods : Each herb and those mixture were respectively fermented and then extracted with water. We carried on MTT assay for check-up on cell toxicity, Oil Red O staining for determination of cell differentiation and intracelluar adipogenesis. Western blot analysis for measurement of pAMPK and pACC, $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $PPAR{\gamma}$ and Glut-4 protein expressions were performed. Results : F-MAPC showed significant inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes without affecting cell toxicity as assessed by measuring fat accumulation, and this effect was 2 fold higher in 0.2 mg/ml F-MAPC than that of the same dose of each fermented herbal extract alone. In addition, these effects were associated with modulation of adipogenic transcription factors, such as $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $PPAR{\gamma}$, as well as stimulated phosphorylations of AMPK and ACC. Translocation of Glut-4 was significantly increased by 10.2% in L6 cells treated with 0.2 mg/ml F-MAPC compared with that of control. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that F-MAPC may be an ideal candidate for therapy of obesity and diabetes by disturbing the differentiation into adipocytes, as well as the inducement of intramuscular glucose uptake from blood.

Objectives: Adipogenesis is the process by which pre-adipocytes are differentiated into adipocytes. It also plays an important role in adipocyte formation and lipid accumulation. Ranunculus sceleratus (R. sceleratus) extracts are used for the treatment of various diseases such as hepatitis, jaundice, and tuberous lymphadenitis in oriental medicine. However, its effect on adipogenesis has not yet been studied. In this study, we investigated the effects of R. sceleratus on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. Methods: Cells were treated with 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/ml of R. sceleratus and cell viability was evaluated. To differentiate the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, a 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin (MDI) solution were used. The accumulation of lipid droplets was determined by Oil Red O staining. The expression levels of adipogenesis-related proteins were also determined. Results: MDI solution differentiated the preadipocytes into adipocytes and accumulation of lipids was observed in the differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Interestingly, the amount of lipid droplets was reduced after R. sceleratus treatment. In addition, the expression levels of key adipogenic transcription factors, such as CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins-𝛼 (C/EBP-𝛼) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-𝛾 (PPAR-𝛾) were also reduced after R. sceleratus treatment. Furthermore, R. sceleratus increased AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and decreased sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 expression. Conclusions: Our results showed that R. sceleratus reduced preadipocyte differentiation by inhibiting C/EBP-𝛼 and PPAR-𝛾 levels via the AMPK pathway. Therefore, we suggest that R. sceleratus may be potentially used as an anti-adipogenic agent.

Objectives: This study aimed to observe the anti-diabetic effect and underlying mechanisms of Galgunhwanggumhwangryun-tang (GHH; Gegen-Qinlian-decoction) in the C2C12 myotubes. Methods: GHH (1.0 mg/ml) or metformin (0.75 mM) or insulin (100 nM) were treated in C2C12 myotubes after 4 days differentiation. The glucose uptake was assessed by 2-[N-(7-160 nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]-2-deoxy-d-glucose uptake by C2C12 cells. The expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and phosphorylation AMPK (pAMPK) were measured by western blot. We also evaluated gene expression of glucose transporter type 4 (Slc2a4, formerly known as GLUT4), glucokinase (Gk), carnitine palmitoyltransferase IA (Cpt1a), nuclear respiratory factors 1 (Nrf1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (Ppargc1a) by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: GHH promoted glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes. The expression of AMPK protein, which plays an essential role in glucose metabolism, was increased by treatment with GHH. GHH treatment tended to increase gene expression of Slc2a4, Gk, and Nrf1 but was not statistically significant. However, GHH significantly improved Tfam and Ppargc1a gene expression in C2C12 myotubes. Conclusions: In summary, GHH treatment promoted glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes. We suggest that these effects are associated with increased gene expression involved in mitochondrial biosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation, such as Tfam and Ppargc1a, and increased expression of AMPK protein.
