본 연구에서는 만성질환의 주요 위험인자인 비만을 예방하기 위한 식품소재로서 3T3-L1세포를 이용하여 탈피한 도토리의 항비만 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 생존율(MTT assay)을 측정한 결과, AE와 AW 시료 모두 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 다소 생존율의 감소를 보여, $300{\mu}g/mL$를 최종 농도로 정하였다. 3T3-L1 세포의 지질축적 억제 효과를 측정한 결과, 농도 $100{\mu}g/mL$로 처리하였을 때 두 시료 모두 지질축적량의 증가를 보였으나, $200{\mu}g/mL$ 처리농도에서 AE 시료는 82%로, AW 시료는 74%로 감소되다가 $300 {\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 두 시료 모두 약 53% 수준까지 지질축적이 억제되었다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 중성지방 억제 효과를 확인한 결과, AE 시료의 경우 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 11%의 감소율, $300{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 42% 수준의 감소율을 보였다. AW 시료도 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 5%의 감소율과 $300{\mu}g/mL$에서 41%의 감소율을 보였다. 3T3-L1 세포의 ROS 생성량을 측정한 결과, 시료 농도 $200{\mu}g/mL$에서 AE는 42%, AW는 33%로 $300{\mu}g/mL$에서는 AE는 58%, AW는 52%로 ROS 생성량의 억제를 보였다. 3T3-L1 세포에서 mRNA 발현에 미치는 영향을 대조군과 비교하였을 때 두 시료(AE와 AW) 모두 $300{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 $PPAR-{\gamma}$은 54%와 38%, aP2는 40%와 18% 수준의 발현을 억제시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 탈피한 도토리는 3T3-L1 세포의 분화를 억제함으로써 새로운 항비만 소재로의 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Obesity occurred by energy imbalance, is increasing regardless of race, sex, age, and related to the metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Since adipose tissue plays a critical role in regulating energy homeostasis, understanding of adipogenesis pathway and finding of regulatory mechanism for adipogenesis can be helpful to manage obesity as well as obesity-related diseases. In this study, to investigate the effects of Chestnut Inner Shell(CIS) extract on the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated with adipogenic reagents for 9 days in the absence or presence of CIS extract ranging from 10 - 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The effect of CIS extract on 3T3-L1 differentiation was examined by measuring intracelluar lipid droplet and triglyceride contents. CIS extract remarkably inhibited lipid accumulation(about 45% inhibition at 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of CIS extract) and slightly decreased triglyceride contents(about 15% decrease at 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of CIS extract) in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes at the concentration showing no cytotoxicity. These results demonstrated that CIS extract significantly inhibit adipogenesis and can be used for the regulation of obesity.

Adipocyte differentiation is a complex developmental process forming adipocytes from various precursor cells. The murine 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell line has been most frequently used in the studies of adipocyte differentiation. Differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes includes a medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) with hormonal induction. In this study, we observed that differentiation medium containing adult bovine serum (ABS) instead of FBS did not support differentiation of preadipocytes. Impaired adipocyte differentiation was due to the presence of a serum protein factor in ABS that suppresses differentiation of preadipocytes. Using a proteomic analysis, alpha-2-macroglobulin and paraoxonase/arylesterase 1, which were previously shown to suppress differentiation of preadipocytes, were identified as anti-adipogenic proteins. Although their functional mechanisms have not yet been elucidated, the anti-adipogenic effects of these proteins are discussed.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Ganoderma lucidum herba pharmacopuncture(GHP) on the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Methods: 3T3- L1 preadipocytes were differentiated with adipogenic reagents by incubating for 2 days in the absence or presence of GHP ranging from 1 and 2%. The effect of GHP on cell proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was investigated using MTT assay. The effect of GHP on adipogenesis was examined by Oil red O staining and measuring glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and intracellular triglyceride (TG) content. Results: Following results were obtained from the preadipocyte proliferation and adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1. We observed no effect of GHP on preadipocyte proliferation. GHP inhibited adipogenesis, the activity of GPDH and accumulation of intracellular TG content. Conclusions: These results suggest that GHP inhibit differentiation of preadipocyte.

There is a high association of heat shock on the alteration of energy and lipid metabolism. The alterations associated with thermal stress are composed of gene expression changes and adaptation through biochemical responses. Previous study showed that Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN) root extract promoted adipogenic differentiation in murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes under the normal temperature condition. However, its effect in heat shocked 3T3-L1 cells has not been established. In this study, we investigated the effect of AGN root hot water extract in the adipogenic differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes following heat shock and its possible mechanism of action. Thermal stress procedure was executed within the same stage of preadipocyte confluence (G0) through incubation at $42^{\circ}C$ for one hour and then allowed to recover at normal incubation temperature of $37^{\circ}C$ for another hour before AGN treatment for both cell viability assay and Oil Red O. Cell viability assay showed that AGN was able to dose dependently (0 to $400{\mu}g/mL$) increase cell proliferation under normal incubation temperature and also was able to prevent cytotoxicity due to heat shock accompanied by cell proliferation. Confluent preadipocytes were subjected into heat shock procedure, recovery and then AGN treatment prior to stimulation with the differentiation solution. Heat shocked preadipocytes exhibited reduced differentiation as supported by decreased amount of lipid accumulation in Oil Red O staining and triglyceride measurement. However, those heat shocked preadipocytes that then were given AGN extract showed a dose dependent increase in lipid accumulation as shown by both evaluation procedures. In line with these results, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot analysis showed that AGN increased adipogenic differentiation by upregulating heat shock protection related genes and proteins together with the adipogenic markers. These findings imply the potential of AGN in heat shock amelioration among 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through heat shock factor and proteins augmentation and enhanced adipogenic marker expression.

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.

The current study was undertaken to determine the effects of the ethanol extracts of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) seeds, flesh or leaves on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells and male pig preadipocytes. The cell number was measured with the MTT assay after trypsin digestion. The cell differentiation was determined by measuring the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity and triglyceride(TG) content. No cytotoxicity was observed from the loquat flesh and leaf ethanol extracts at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or $200{\mu}g/mL$ in 3T3-L1 cells and pig preadipocytes. However, the cell viability of neither cell line were affected by up $50{\mu}g/mL$ of loquat seed ethanol extract. Treatment with the loquat seed and leaf ethanol extracts significantly suppressed the terminal differentiation of both cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, as confirmed by the decrease in the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GPDH) activity and TG content. Treatment with the loquat seed and leaf ethanol extracts inhibited the GPDH activity and reduced the TG content of both cell types more effectively than that with the loquat flesh ethanol extract. The most potent anti-adipogenic effect was obtained in the case of the ethanol extract of loquat seeds.

본 연구에서는 3T3-L1 지방전구세포가 지방세포로 분화되는 과정에서 진피 에탄올 추출물(ethanol extracts of citrus peel, EECP)이 유발하는 항비만 효능에 대해서 조사하였다. 3T3-L1 세포의 생존율 및 증식에 영향을 미치지 않는 농도의 EECP를 처리하였을 경우 지방세포에서 특징적으로 나타나는 lipid droplet의 형성과 triglyceride의 생성도 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. EECP가 유발하는 지방세포로의 분화억제에는 PPARγ, C/EBPα, C/EBPβ 및 SREBP-1c 등과 같은 adipogenic transcription factors의 발현억제가 관여하는 것으로 나타났으며, 그 결과로 aP2 및 Leptin과 같은 adipocyte expressed genes의 발현도 억제되는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 EECP는 AMPK 및 ACC의 인산화를 유발하였으며, AMPK 억제제인 Compound C를 이용하여 AMPK의 활성을 억제하였을 경우 EECP에 의한 AMPK의 인산화와 adipogenic transcription factors의 억제현상이 회복되었다. 이상의 결과에서 EECP는 AMPK signaling pathway를 통하여 항비만 효능을 가진다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 향후 비만 예방 및 억제와 관련된 기능성 소재로서의 진피의 활용 가능성을 제시한 것으로서 그 가치가 매우 높을 것으로 생각된다.

백색지방조직(white adipose tissue)은 에너지 저장뿐만 아니라 다양한 adipokines을 분비하는 중요한 내분비 기관이다. 급성기반응 단백질로 알려져 있는 합토글로빈(haptoglobin)도 adipokine의 한 종류로서 지방세포에서 합성되고 분비된다. 그러나 adipokine으로서의 기능과 지방조직에서의 역할은 아직까지 규명되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 합토글로빈 유전자로 transfection 시켜 합토글로빈을 과발현하는 세포를 만들고 세포증식, 염증관련 인자들의 발현조절 및 단구세포의 유인성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 합토글로빈은 3T3-L1 세포의 성장에는 별 영향을 미치지 않았으나 IL-6와 COX-2 발현을 저해하고 HO-1 합성을 증가하였다. 또한 THP-1 단구세포를 이용한 invasion assay에서는 합토글로빈이 단구세포의 이동을 저해하였다. 이러한 결과들은 합토글로빈이 지방조직에서 항염증 반응에 관여함을 시사한다. 만성적 염증상태(chronic low-grade inflammatory state)로 인식되고 있는 비만은 염증관련 인자들에 의한 인슐린저항성이 유도되는 바, 합토글로빈은 비만 관련 인슐린저항성을 방지하고 인슐린민감성을 향상시키는 데에도 기여할 것으로 생각된다.
