Objective : This experimental study was designed to determine the effects of BPT on obesity in vivo and in vitro. Methods : in vitro, BPTn extracts of various concentration(50, 100, 200 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) were added in 3T3-L1 cell. Adipocyte differentiation was measured by Oil Red O staining and Morphological examination. The expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\gamma}$ receptor was measured by western blot assay and RT-PCR in vivo, Rats were orally administered BPT daily for consecutive four weeks before poloxamer-407 induced hyperlipidemic state. The rats were sacrificed 24 hrs later for poloxamer-407 treated and then serum triglyceride, total cholesterol were measured ; Rats were orally administered BPT daily for consecutive four weeks before triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemic state. The rats were sacrificed 40 hrs later for triton WR-1339 treated and then serum triglyceride, total cholesterol were measured ; Rats with obesity were induced by the high fat-diet for six weeks and then serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, hydroxy radical, superoxide dismuatse activity were measured. Results : In vitro, The 3T3-L1 cells' differentiation was significantly decreased by BPT. The expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $C/EBP{\beta}$ was decreased by BPT. 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.

Purpose: Stem cells continue to receive research attention in the clinical fields, and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown to be a good source raw material. Many plastic surgeons are researching the ADSC adipogenesis with a view of conducting clinical trials, and many attempts have been made to identify the factors that promote the adipogenesis of ADSCs, but comparatively few correlation studies have been undertaken to explore the relation between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ADSC adipogenesis. We undertook this study is to investigate the effects of ROS on ADSC adipogenesis. Methods: ADSCs were isolated and cultured from abdominal adipose tissue, and cultured in different media; 1) DMEM(control), 2) adipogenesis induction culture medium, 3) adipogenesis induction culture medium with ROS ($20{\mu}M/50{\mu}M\;H_2O_2$), 4) adipogenesis induction culture medium containing ROS ($20{\mu}M/50{\mu}M\;H_2O_2$) and antioxidant ($10{\mu}M/20{\mu}M$ Deferoxamine). We compared adipogenesis in these different media by taking absorbance measurements after Oil-Red O staining every 5 days. Results: After culturing for 20 days, significant differences were observed between these various culture groups. Absorbance results showed significantly more adipogenesis had occurred in media containing adipogenesis induction culture medium and $H_2O_2$ (in a $H_2O_2$ dose-dependently manner) than in media containing adipogenesis induction culture medium and no $H_2O_2$ (p<0.001). Furthermore, in media containing adipogenesis induction culture medium, $H_2O_2$, and antioxidant, absorbance results were significantly lower than in adipogenesis induction culture medium and $H_2O_2$ (p<0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that ROS promote the adipogenesis of ADSCs. We suggests that ROS could be used in the adipose tissue engineering to improve fat cell differentiation and implantable fat tissue organization.

Objectives: To expand and provide information on the efficacy of herbal medicines, anti-obesity effects were evaluated. In many studies, plant-derived components with anti-obesity efficacies have been investigated for their potential inhibitory effects on 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-obesity effects of 65 herbal medicine in 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells. Methods: Preferentially, 3T3-L1 cells were treated with 65 herbal medicines (500 ㎍/mL) during differentiation for 8 days. Next, 3T3-L1 cells were treated with selected herbal medicines at concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 ㎍/mL during differentiation for 8 days. The accumulation of lipid droplets was determined by Oil Red O staining. The expressions of genes related to adipogenesis were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses. Results: Among the 65 kinds of herbal medicines, 13 herbal medicines that been shown to be effective against the accumulation of lipid droplets were selected. Finally, selected Banhasasim-tang and Samhwangsasim-tang showed inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation at 3T3-L1 preadipocytes without affecting cell toxicity. In addition, Banhasasim-tang and Samhwangsasim-tang significantly reduced the expression levels of several adipocyte marker genes including peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α. Conclusions : These results suggest that the ability of Banhasasim-tang and Samhwangsasimtang has inhibited overall adipogenesis and lipid accumulation in the 3T3-L1 cells. Banhasasim-tang and Samhwangsasim-tang may be a promising medicine for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders.

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.

Objectives : Daesiho-tang (DSHT) has been widely used in the treatment of cerebral infarct in traditional medicine. However, there was not report on the anti-obesity-related diseases efficacy of DSHT. In this study, we investigated the effects for the new formulation of DSHT, on the adipocyte differentiation cycle in 3T3-L1 cells. Methods : 3T3-L1 cells were treated with DSHT (50, 100, $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) during differentiation for 6 days. Also, the inhibitory effect of DSHT against 3T3-L1 adipogenesis was evaluated in various stage of adipogenesis such as early (0-2day), intermediate (2-4day), and terminal stage (4-6day). The accumulation of lipid droplets was determined by Oil Red O staining. and, the expressions of genes related to adipogenesis were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Results : DSHT showed inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation at 3T3-L1 preadipocytes without affect cell toxicity as assessed by measuring fat accumulation and adipogenesis. In addition, DSHT significantly reduced the expression levels of several adipocyte marker genes including proliferator activated $receptor-{\gamma}$ ($PPAR-{\gamma}$) and CCAAT/ enhancer-binding $protein-{\alpha}$ ($C/EBP-{\alpha}$). Also, the anti-adipogenic effect of DSHT was strongly limited in the intermediate (2-4 day), terminal stage (4-6 day) of 3T3-L1 adipogenesis. In addition, the DSHT treatment down- regulated mRNA expression levels of $PPAR-{\gamma}$,, $C/EBP-{\alpha}$ in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Conclusions : These results suggest that, the ability of DSHT has inhibited overall adipogenesis and lipid accumulation in the 3T3-L1 cells. The new formulation of DSHT may be a promising medicine for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Using adipose derived stem cells(ASCs), neurogenic differentiation was induced in a mono layered culture medium containing neuronal induction agents. Cells differentiated to the neuronal cells were observed with a inverted microscope and immunofluorecent study. We made a 15 mm long defect in the sciatic nerve of 14 rats and connected a silicone tube to the defect. Then, we mixed neuronal progenitor cells differentiated from ASCs with collagen gel and grafted them to a group of rats(experimental group) and grafted only collagen gel into another group(control group). In 4 and 8 weeks after the graft, histological observation was made. According to the result, the number and diameter of myelinated axons were significantly increased in the experimental group. In addition, the nerve conduction velocity was improved more in the experimental group and neovascularity also increased. Moreover, reaction with S100 and p75 was observed in regenerated nerves in the experimental group, suggesting that the grafted cells were differentiated into supportive cells such as Schwann's cells. In conclusion, this research proved that ASCs can multiply and differentiate into neuronal cells. If they are grafted into nerve defects, the grafted cells are differ entiated into supportive cells such as Schwann's cells and thus contribute to nerve regeneration. Accordingly, the use of adipose tissue obtained easily without the limitation of donor site can be greatly helpful in treating peripheral nerve defects.

Sox4는 DNA 결합 도메인인 HMG-box와 전사 활성 도메인인 serine rich region (SRR)과 아직 그 기능이 알려져 있지 않은 glycine rich region (GRR)등의 세 개의 기능 도메인을 가지는 전사인자이다. 전사인자인 Sox4는 생체 내 초기 분화 시 중요한 역할을 하는 유전자로 알려져 있으나 여전히 그 정확한 생리적 기능 및 세포 내에서 이 유전자 산물이 전사 활성 에 어떻게 관여하는지 그 정확한 기전은 잘 밝혀져 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Sox4의 생리적 기능을 이해하고 세포 내에서 Sox4의 기능 연구에 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 항체를 제조하기 위해 Sox4를 대장균에서 발현, 정제하였다. 모든 기능 도메인을 다 포함하는 Sox4는 대장균에서 발현 시 대부분 절단되는 양상을 나타내었다. Sox4의 각 도메인을 대장균에서 GST-융합 단백질로 발현, 정제하여 그 발현 양상을 비교해 본 바 N-말단을 제거한 Sox4 ($\Delta$HMG)의 경우 67 kDa 크기의 단백질이 생성되므로 이 단백질을 항원으로 이용하여 Sox4의 GRR에 특이적으로 반응하는 항체를 제조하였다. 또한, 67 kDa 크기의 단백질 외에 34 kDa 크기에서 GST-융합 단백질이 관찰되었다. 이 밴드는 Sox4 (GRR)를 발현, 정제시에도 관찰되는 동일한 크기의 밴드이며 thrombin과의 반응을 통해 7 kDa 크기로 절단되는 Sox4 밴드이다. 그러므로 이 들 결과로부터 GRR 내에 단백질 분해효소의 표적 부위가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 아직 그 기능이 밝혀져 있는 않은 Sox4의 새로운 도메인인 GRR이 단백질 분해 효소의 표적 부위로 작용하여 Sox4의 안정성을 조절함으로써 Sox4의 활성에 중요한 역할을 수행할 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하고 있다.은 억제 회복 효과는 $Mg^{2+}$에 의한 리보자임의 td intron 구조적 안정성에 기인하는 것으로 추정된다.력이 뛰어난(adaptable) 인간적 요구사항을 충족시켜야 한다. 셋째, 다이내믹 시미트리는 역(逆, reciprocity)의 원리와 보상(補賞, complement)의 원리를 제 1의 구성원리로 하며 공간에서 서로에 대한 역과 공통성(common property)을 갖고 자기유사를 지닐 때 연속체(continuum)를 손상하지 않고 전체공간을 유기체적으로 분절한다.같은 pattern 이었다. 그러나 JR89주에서는 280kb 가 나타나지 않아 다른 분리균주와 구분되었다.과 밀가루국(麴) 사이에 차(差)가 별(別)로 없었다.果)에서 총지질(總脂質)을 구성(構咸)하는 지방산(脂肪酸) 조성(組成)은 $C_{18:2}$산(酸), $C_{16:0}$산(酸)의 순(順)으로 그 함량(含最)이 맞은데 비(比)하여 각획분(各劃分)의 지질(脂質)을 구성(構成)하는 지방산(脂肪酸) 조성(組成)은 $C_{16:0}$산(酸), $C_{18:2}$산(酸)의 순(順)으로 그 함량(含量)이 많은 것으로 나타났으며 동결건조후(凍結乾燥後) 저장(貯藏)하는 동안에$C_{18:2}$산(酸), $C_{18:3}$산(酸)의 함량(含量)이 계속(繼續) 감소(減少)하고 있었다. 5. 4-monomethylsterol fraction에는 cycloartenol(20.6%)이 비교적(比較的) 높은 함량(含量)으로 함유(含有)되어 있었고, 그 외(外) cyclolaudenol, cycloeucalenol 및 citrostadienol 등이 함유(含有)되어 있었다. 6. 4-desmethylsterol fraction에
