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.

The aim of this study was to examine the cytotoxicity and potential inhibitory effects from four types of edible domestic brown seaweeds, Undaria pinnatifida (UP), Laminaria japonica (LJ), Sargassum fulvellum (SF), and Hizikia fusiforme (HF), on preadipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cell line. Water and ethanol extracts from the four types of seaweeds were prepared and tested for cell viability in the 3T3-L1 cell line by using MTT assay. In addition, various doses of the water extract of seaweeds (WES) and ethanol extract of seaweeds (EES) were treated at the beginning of 3T3-L1 differentiation and continued until the cells were fully differentiated to adipocytes. Oil Red-O staining was performed to determine the potential cell differentiation inhibitory effects of the WES and EES by measuring the levels of lipid droplet accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. $PPAR{\gamma}$ mRNA expression levels were significantly reduced by WESs of UP, LJ, and HF as well as EESs of LJ and HF. As a result, we observed the superior cell differentiation inhibitory effects of WES compared to that of EES in a dose-dependent manner without any significant cytotoxicity in mouse adipocytes.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of anti-obesity and antioxidant enzyme activities in vitro by different solvent fractions from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The cytotoxicity of different solvent fractions of C. lanceolata on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were evaluated using the MTT assay, the rate of cell survival progressively decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Butyl alcohol fraction at $200{\mu}g/mL$ exhibited a pronounced cytotoxic effect (75.73%) on 3T3-L1 cell comparable to that of the hexane fraction (79.82%), methylene chloride fraction (84.02%), ethyl acetate fraction (87.62%) and DW fraction (86.30%) at the same concentration. The Oil Red O solution was used to determine whether different solvent fractions of C. lanceolata induce adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Confluent 3T3-L1 cells were treated with $50{\mu}g/mL$ concentration of solvent fraction extracts from C. lanceolata. Inhibitory degree of lipid accumulation against solvent fraction extracts showed a significant level compared with the control. Both lipid accumulation and adipocyte differentiation showed relatively high effect on methyl chloride fraction. The root extract of C. lanceolata had the highest SOD enzyme activity of 84.5% in ethyl acetate partition layer and while water partition layer of diploid showed the lowest SOD enzyme activity of 57.9%. The activity of CAT, APX and POD showed a significantly higher activity in ethyl acetate partition layer compared with the other fraction. These results suggested that the roots of C. lanceolata may assist in the potential biological activity on anti-obesity and antioxidant capacity.

Objectives This experimental study was designed to investigate the effects of Dai-saiko-to (DSH) on differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and body weight, serum lipid levels in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. Materials and Methods Cells were incubated with DSH at an indicated concentration (0.01-1 mg/ml) for 24h, then the growth rate was assessed by MTS assay. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were incubated in DMEM for 2 days with the indicated concentrations of DSH. On Day 6, the cells were fixed and the cellular lipid contents were assessed by Oil-Red-O staining. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) and cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymine (CCAAT)/enhancer-binding proteins ${\alpha}$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) as adipocyte-specific proteins were determined by real time RT-PCR and western blotting. Four-weeks old mice (wild-type C57BL/6) were used for all experiments. Body weight gain and serum lipid levels were measured in the obesity-induced mice. Results DSH did not show toxicity even at the concentration of 1 mg/ml and DSH significantly inhibited the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Also, DSH significantly reduced the expressions of $PPAR{\gamma}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$ in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, DSH significantly reduced body weight gain, serum glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol contents in obesity-induced mice. Conclusions These results demonstrated that DSH inhibited 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiations and high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice.

Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Ephedrae Herba pharmacopuncture (EHP) on the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells, lipolysis in rat epididymal adipocytes and histological changes in porcine adipose tissue. Methods : Inhibition of preadipocyte differentiation and/or stimulation of lipolysis play important roles in reducing obesity. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated with adipogenic reagents by incubating for 3 days in the absence or presence of EHP ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 $mg/m{\ell}$. The effect of EHP on adipogenesis was examined by measuring glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity and by oil red O staining. Mature adipocytes from rat epididymal fat pad were incubated with EHP ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 $mg/m{\ell}$ for 3 days. The effect of EHP on lipolysis was examined by measuring free glycerol released. Fat tissue from porcine skin was injected with EHP ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 $mg/m{\ell}$ to examine the effect of EHP on histological changes under light microscopy. Results : The following results were obtained from present study on adipogenesis of preadipocytes, lipolysis of adipocytes and histological changes in fat tissue. Proliferation of preadipocytes was significantly inhibited by EHP at the concentration of 1.0 $mg/m{\ell}$. Lipolysis of adipocytes was increased by EHP at the concentration of 0.1, 1.0 $mg/m{\ell}$. Porcine fat tissues were widely injured by EHP at the concentration of 10.0 $mg/m{\ell}$. Conclusions : From the above results, EHP efficiently induces inhibition of preadipocytes proliferation, lipolysis of adipocytes and histologic injury in fat tissues. Therefore, EHP may be useful to treat localized obesity.

Bojungchiseub-tang (BJCST) has been used in symptoms and signs of edema, dampness-phlegm, kidney failure, and so on. BJCST is also expected to have strong anti-obesity activities. However, little is known about the mechanisms of its inhibitory effects on adipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis. In the present study, we examined the effects and mechanism of BJCST on transcription factors and adipogenic genes of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to understand its inhibitory effects on adipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis. Our results showed that BJCST significantly inhibited differentiation and adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. To elucidate the mechanism of the effects of BJCST on lowering lipid content in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, we examined whether BJCST modulate the expressions of transcription factors to induce adipogenesis and adipogenic genes related to regulate accumulation of lipids. As a result, the expression of steroid regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)1, cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT)/enhancer binding proteins ${\alpha}$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$), $C/EBP{\beta}$, $C/EBP{\delta}$, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) genes, which induce the adipose differentiation, liver X receptor $(LXR){\alpha}$ and fatty acid synthase (FAS) genes, which induce lipogenesis and adipose-specific aP2, Adipsin, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), CD36, TGF-${\beta}$, leptin and adiponectin genes, which compose fat formation were decreased. BJCST also reduced the expression of acyl CoA oxidase (ACO) and uncoupling protein (UCP) genes related to lipid oxidation. In conclusion, BJCST could regulate transcript factor related to induction of adipose differentiation and inhibited the accumulation of lipids and expression of adipogenic genes.

왕머루(Vitis amurensis Rupreche)는 아시아 지역에서 자생하는 포도의 한 종류로서 항산화, 항염증, 뇌신경보호, 신생혈관 억제능 등의 생리활성이 알려져 있다. 왕머루의 뿌리는 한국에서 전통적인 약재로 사용되어왔으나 그 생리활성에 대해서는 보고된 바가 적다. 이에 본 연구에서는 머루근 MeOH 추출물(VARM)과 그 용매 분획물이 지방세포분화 및 지방 생성에 미치는 영향을 3T3-L1 preadipocyte를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 VARM은 3T3-L1 preadipocyte의 지방 세포로의 분화, 지방 축적, 중성 지방 생성량을 독성 없이 농도의존적으로 유의적으로 억제시켰다. 활성 물질의 규명을 위해 VARM으로부터 dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), 그리고 물($H_2O$) 층의 순서로 용매 분획을 실시한 후 지방 생성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 $H_2O$ 층을 제외한 모든 분획물에서 지방 생성 억제능이 관찰되었으며 특히 $CH_2Cl_2$ 층 분획물이 가장 강력한 항비만 활성을 보였고 이는 주요 지방 생성 전사 인자인 $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $C/EBP{\beta}$, 그리고 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 유전자 및 단백질 발현 조절에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 머루근의 항비만 활성을 보유한 활성 물질을 분리한 결과 oleanolic acid가 주요 물질 중의 하나로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 머루근의 항비만 활성을 처음으로 밝혀낸 것이며 주요 활성 물질의 하나로 oleanolic acid를 확인하였다.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a major catechin found in green tea. It is reported that EGCG possesses various health benefits including anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-diabetes, and anti-obesity. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of EGCG on adipogenesis via activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. In order to determine the effects of EGCG on adipogenesis, preadipocyte differentiation was induced in the presence or absence of EGCG ($0{\sim}100{\mu}M$) for a period of 6 days. EGCG significantly inhibited fat accumulation and suppressed the expression of adipogenic specific proteins including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-${\gamma}$. Also, EGCG markedly increased the activation of AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, any pretreatment with a specific AMPK inhibitor, compound C, abolished the inhibitory effects of the EGCG on $PPAR{\gamma}$ expression. This study suggests that EGCG has anti-adipogenic effects through modulation of the AMPK signaling pathway and therefore, may be a promising antiobesity agent.

구절초(Chrysanthemum zawadskii)는 국화과에 속하는 다년생 초본으로 일본, 중국 등에 분포하고 있으며 항산 화, 항염증, 항균 등의 생리활성이 알려져 있으나 항비만 활성에 대해서는 보고된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 구절초 메탄올 추출물(CZME)의 항비만 활성을 췌장 lipase 효소 활성 억제능과 지방세포분화 및 지방 생성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 CZME는 농도 의존적으로 lipase 효소 활성을 억제시켰으며, insulin, dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (MDI)로 분화를 유도한 3T3-L1 preadipocyte를 이용하여 지방세포 분화 및 지방생성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 지방세포 분화, 세포 내 지방 축적, TG 함량 등을 독성 없이 농도의존적으로 억제 하였다. 이러한 구절초의 지방세포 분화 억제능은 핵심 작용 인자인 C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, 그리고 PPARγ의 유전자 및 단백질 발현조절에서 기인함을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 MDI로 분화를 유도한 3T3-L1 preadipocyte에서 생성된 지방의 분해능을 분석한 결과 지방세포 분화 억제뿐만 아니라 지방세포 내 중성지방 또한 유의적으로 분해시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 구절초가 보유한 췌장 lipase 활성 저해능, 지방세포 분화 억제능, 지방세포내 지방 분해능을 통한 항비만 활성을 처음으로 밝혀낸 것이며 추후 계속적인 연구를 통해 활성 물질의 규명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
