본 연구에서는 농산 가공 폐기물로 버려지고 있는 포도씨 탈지박 methanol 추출물의 항비만 활성을 확인하고자 하였다. DGSE에 의한 TG 생성 저해효과를 측정하기 위해 시료를 3T3-L1 preadipocyte에 농도별(0, 25, 50, 100, 200 ${\mu}g/mL$)로 처리하면서 분화를 유도하였다. 실험 결과 DGSE는 지방세포내의 TG 생성과 GPDH 활성 및 주요 전사 인자인 PPAR$\gamma$ 및 C/EBP $\alpha$와 $\beta$의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. DGSE는 100 ${\mu}g/mL$의 비교적 낮은 농도에서도 우수한 지방 분화억제 활성을 나타내어 경제적이며 효과적인 항비만 기능성식품으로서의 활용가치가 기대된다.

Propyl gallate (PG) used as an additive in various foods has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Although the functional roles of PG in various cell types are well characterized, it is unknown whether PG has effect on stem cell differentiation. In this study, we demonstrated that PG could inhibit adipogenic differentiation in human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) by decreasing the accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets. In addition, PG significantly reduced the expression of adipocyte-specific markers including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-${\gamma}$ (PPAR-${\gamma}$), CCAAT enhancer binding protein-${\alpha}$ (C/EBP-${\alpha}$), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein 2 (aP2). PG inhibited adipogenesis in hAMSCs through extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Decreased adipogenesis following PG treatment was recovered in response to ERK blocking. Taken together, these results suggest a novel effect of PG on adipocyte differentiation in hAMSCs, supporting a negative role of ERK1/2 pathway in adipogenic differentiation.

유산균 L. mesenteroides SGL152를 이용한 미역발효 추출물로부터 3T3-L1 지방세포 분화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 MTT assay, Oil Red O staining, RT-qPCR 실험을 진행하였다. 유산균의 미역발효 추출물(UFM)의 농도별 세포 독성 실험 결과, 200 ㎍/ml 농도 이하에서는 비세포독성으로 판단된다. 또한 3T3-L1 지방세포 분화와 동시에 추출물을 농도별로 처리하여 분화를 진행한 결과, 대조군과 비교하여 유의적으로 지방구 형성 및 지방분화를 억제하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 유산균을 이용한 해조류 발효과정 및 복합추출물에 있어서 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives This study is to investigate the effects and mechanisms of Gastrodia elata extract (GEE) on the high-fat diet-induced obesity model. Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n=10). Control group was fed normal diet (ND). Obesity group was fed 60% high fat diet (HFD). The other three groups were fed HFD with 100, 200, 500 mg/kg GEE. After five weeks, body weight, liver and epididymal fat weight, triglyceride concentration in liver and serum, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 𝛾 (PPAR-𝛾), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein 𝛼 (C/EBP-𝛼) expression level, insulin concentration in serum were measured. Results The GEE (100, 200, and 500 mg/kg)-treated animals exhibited substantial decreases in body mass, liver weight and epididymal white adipose tissue collate to the HFD-fed group. GEE treatment also reduced hepatic and serum triglyceride level. Furthermore, GEE treatment significantly inhibited adipogenesis in the GEE group by reducing the protein expression of SREBP-1, ACC and the messenger RNA expression of PPAR𝛾, C/EBP-𝛼, which are adipocyte differentiation-related genes. Conclusions These research outcomes recommend that GEE is possibly valuable for the prevention of HFD-induced obesity via modification of various pathways related with adipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate inhibitory effects of steamed Polygonatum odoratum extract (POE) on differentiation and adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Methods : Polygonatum odoratum (P. odoratum) extract was extracted with ethyl acetate. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents in POE were measured for antioxidant activity. The spectrophotometric method was used to determine the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and ferric-reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP). MTT assay was examined for cell toxicity, oil red O staining was performed for intracelluar adipogenesis in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Western blot analysis for measurement of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ${\alpha}$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expressions were performed. Results : The results revealed that POE has antioxidant activities. Contents of total polyphenolics and flavonoids were $50.83{\pm}1.52$ GAE mg/100g dry weight of POE and $17.05{\pm}2.47$ RE mg/100g dry weight of POE, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity, and FRAP in 10 mg/ml concentration were $92.1{\pm}0.6%$, $244.8{\pm}9.0{\mu}M$ Fe(II) and ABTS inhibition in 5 mg/ml concentration was $84.8{\pm}4.1%$. Treatment of POE in adipocytes inhibited the differentiation and adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes compared to those of vehicle control. Additionally, protein expressions of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\gamma}$, major transcription factor for the adipogenic genes, were significantly decreased compared to those of vehicle control (p<0.05). Futhermore, phosphorylation of AMPK was increased in 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with POE compared to that of vehicle control (p<0.05). Conclusions : we demonstrate that steamed P. odoratum extract (POE) has potentiating antioxidant activities, inhibits differentiation and lipid accumulation and also induces energy expenditure in adipocytes, which may contribute to antiobesity property.

The Wnt/$\beta$-catenin signaling pathway alters adipocyte differentiation by inhibiting adipogenic gene expression. $\beta$-catenin plays a central role in the Wnt/$\beta$-catenin signaling pathway. In this study, we revealed that tumour necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$), a potential negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation, inhibits porcine adipogenesis through activation of the Wnt/$\beta$-catenin signaling pathway. Under the optimal concentration of TNF-$\alpha$, the intracellular $\beta$-catenin protein was stabilized. Thus, the intracellular lipid accumulation of porcine preadipocyte was suppressed and the expression of important adipocyte marker genes, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-$\gamma$ (PPAR$\gamma$) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-$\alpha$ (C/EBP$\alpha$), were inhibited. However, a loss of $\beta$-catenin in porcine preadipocytes enhanced the adipogenic differentiation and attenuated TNF-$\alpha$ induced anti-adipogenesis. Taken together, this study indicated that TNF-$\alpha$ inhibits adipogenesis through stabilization of $\beta$-catenin protein in porcine preadipocytes.

소리쟁이 추출물 및 분획물의 3T3-L1 전지방세포의 분화에 미치는 영향을 확인한 결과, 소리쟁이의 hexane, ethyl acetate 분획물에 의해 지방세포의 lipid droplet의 형성이 유의적으로 억제되었으며, 소리쟁이 에탄올 추출물과 모든 분획물 10 ${\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 중성지질(triglyceride)의 함량이 유의적으로 감소되었다. 또한 지방세포의 분화에 관여하는 전사인자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$의 단백질 발현은 10 ${\mu}g/mL$의 ethyl acetate, butanol 분획물에 의해 현저하게 감소되었다. 따라서 소리쟁이 추출물과 분획물 중 가장 활성이 우수한 ethyl acetate 분획물을 이용하여 지방분화에 관여하는 전사 인자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$, 그리고 SREBP1c 및 지질의 합성, 수송, 저장에 관여하는 ACS, FAS, FATP1, FABP4, Perilipin의 발현에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 결과, ethyl acetate 분획물은 유의적으로 모든 유전자의 발현을 억제시켰다. 따라서 소리쟁이의 ethyl acetate 분획물은 지방세포의 분화에 관여하는 전사인자 및 유전자들의 발현을 감소시킴으로써 항비만 효과가 있는 천연물 소재로 이용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

In vivo, BPT significantly reduced serum triglyceride, total cholesterol contents in poloxamer-407 treated rat. BPT significantly reduced serum triglyceride contents in Triton WR-1339 treated rat. Total cholesterol also reduced but did not show a significant change. BPT significantly reduced body weight gain of rat and adipose tissue mass of rats and serum triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol contents and significantly increased HDL-cholesterol, HTR(HDL-cholesterol/Total-cholesterol) in rats with obesity induced by the high fat-diet. BPT reduced blood lipid peroxide, hydroxy radical and increased superoxide dismuatse(SOD) activity.

본 연구에서는 통초(Tetrapanax papyriferus)와 희렴(Siegesbeckia pubescens)의 항산화 및 항비만 활성을 DPPH radical 소거능과 세포실험계를 이용하여 분석하였다. 통초와 희렴의 DPPH radical 소거능의 50% 저해능($IC_{50}$)은 각각 65.23과 47.79 ${\mu}g/ml$로 나타났다. 또한 두 시료 모두 농도 의존적으로 lipase 효소 활성을 유의적으로 억제시켰으며, 3T3-L1 preadipocyte를 이용하여 지방세포 분화 및 지방생성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 통초와 희렴 모두 지방 세포 분화, 지방 축적, TG 함량 등을 독성 없이 농도의존적으로 억제함을 보였다. 이러한 통초와 희렴의 지방세포분화억제능은 핵심 작용 인자인 $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $C/EBP{\beta}$, 그리고 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 유전자 및 단백질 발현조절에서 기인함을 확인하였다. 또한 통초와 희렴 간의 항비만 시너지 효과를 분석한 결과 각 시료의 단독 처리시보다 병용 처리시 더 높은 지방세포분화억제능을 보여 두 시료간에 시너지 효과를 보유함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 통초 및 희렴의 항비만 활성 및 그 작용 기전을 밝힌 것이며 추후 계속적인 연구를 통해 활성 물질의 규명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
