In this study we cloned and characterized a novel lipid-accumulating gene, the oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1), which is associated with lipogenesis. We analyzed the gene structure and detected the mRNA transcriptional expression levels in pig adipose tissues at different months of age (MA) and in different economic types (lean type and obese type) using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. OLR1 expression profile in different tissues of pig was analyzed. Finally, we studied the correlation between OLR1 and lipid metabolism related genes including peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor{\gamma}2$ ($PPAR{\gamma}2$), fatty acid synthetase (FAS), triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH), CAAT/enhancer binding protein $\alpha$ ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c). Results indicated that the OLR1 gene of the pig exhibited the highest homology with the cattle (84%), and the lowest with the mouse (27%). The signal peptide located from amino acid 38 to 60 and the domain from amino acid 144 to 256 were shared by the C-type lectin family. The expression level of OLR1 in pig lung was exceedingly higher than other tested tissues (p<0.01). In pig adipose tissue, the expression level of OLR1 mRNA increased significantly with growth (p<0.01). The expression level of OLR1 mRNA in obese-type pigs was significantly higher than that of lean-type pigs of the same monthly age (p<0.05). In adipose tissue, the expression of OLR1 correlated with $PPAR{\gamma}2$, FAS and SREBP-1c, but not TGH or C/EBP${\alpha}$. In conclusion, OLR1 was highly associated with fat deposition and its transcription, as suggested by high correlations, was possibly regulated by $PPAR{\gamma}2$ and SREBP-1c.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Adipogenesis is part of the cell differentiation process in which undifferentiated fibroblasts (pre-adipocytes) become mature adipocytes with the accumulation of lipid droplets and subsequent cell morphological changes. Several transcription factors and food components have been suggested to be involved in adipogenesis. The aim of this study was to determine whether mulberry leaf ethanol extract (MLEE) affects adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. MATERIALS/METHODS: The 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with different doses of MLEE for 8 days starting 2 days post-confluence. Cell viability, fat accumulation, and adipogenesis-related factors including CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein alpha ($C/EBP{\alpha}$), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$), $PPAR{\gamma}$ coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-$1{\alpha}$), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and adiponectin were analyzed. RESULTS: Results showed that MLEE treatments at 10, 25, 50, and $100{\mu}g/ml$ had no effect on cell morphology and viability. Without evident toxicity, all MLEE treated cells had lower fat accumulation compared with control as shown by lower absorbances of Oil Red O stain. MLEE at 50 and $100{\mu}g/ml$ significantly reduced protein levels of $PPAR{\gamma}$, PGC-$1{\alpha}$, FAS, and adiponectin in differentiated adipocytes. Furthermore, protein level of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ was significantly decreased by the treatment of $100{\mu}g/ml$ MLEE. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that MLEE treatment has an anti-adipogenic effect in differentiated adipocytes without toxicity, suggesting its potential as an anti-obesity therapeutic.

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.

The inhibitory effects of adipogenesis on ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction from leaves of the Tulip tree (TT) were evaluated. Exposure to TT EtOAc fraction (25~200 ${\mu}g/mL$) for a 72 hr incubation period did not significantly change cell viability. TT EtOAc fraction, with concentrations of 100 and 200 ${\mu}g/mL$, inhibited lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a dose dependent manner in adipogenesis. The expression of $PPAR{\gamma}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$, essential adipogenic markers, was significantly decreased when TT EtOAc fraction was added to cells for 8 days as compared with the untreated control group. These results suggest that TT EtOAc fraction might be a potential therapeutic agent as an effective, natural alternative material for obesity treatment.

In this study, the potential capacity of the crude extract and its solvent fractions from S. siliquanstrum against adipocyte differentiation were evaluated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The anti-adipogenic effect of S. siliquanstrum was evidenced by the fact that its crude extract decreases the lipid accumulation of differentiating cells and the expression levels of crucial adipogenesis markers, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor $(PPAR){\gamma}$ and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein $(C/EBP){\alpha}$. All solvent fractions except the water fraction showed an observable decrease in lipid accumulation and $PPAR{\gamma}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$ expressions. In conclusion, these results suggest that S. siliquanstrum possesses obesity inhibiting components, which may possibly be used as a valuable anti-obesity agent for reducing the risk of obesity.

본 연구에서는 괭생이모자반 에탄올 추출물의 항비만 효과에 대해 알아보고자 3T3-L1 preadipocyte에서 Oil Red O staining과 triglyceride content, adipogenesis의 발현에 대해 조사하였다. MTT assay를 통해 괭생이모자반 에탄올 추출물의 세포 독성을 확인 해 본 결과 $200{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 90% 이상의 세포 생존율을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 insulin, dexamethasone과 IBMX 복합물을 처리하여 분화를 유도하였을 때는 분화유도제를 처리하지 않은 군에 비해 활발하게 지방구를 형성하였으나, 괭생이모자반 에탄올 추출물을 250, 500, $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ 농도로 처리하였을 때는 농도 의존적으로 지방구 형성을 억제하였다. 이를 정량하여 triglyceride content (%)로 나타낸 결과 농도별로 13%, 16%, 23% 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 Western blot assay를 통해 adipogenic transcription factor의 발현양상을 비교해 본 결과, 분화유도제 처리에 의해 $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $C/EBP{\beta}$와 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 발현이 증가하였으나, 괭생이모자반 에탄올 추출물을 처리하였을 때는 이러한 전사인자들의 발현이 농도 의존적으로 감소됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 괭생이모자반 에탄올 추출물은 adipogenic transcription factor의 발현을 조절하여 지방세포의 분화를 억제하였으며, 지방구와 triglyceride 생성을 감소시켜 최종적으로 비만억제 효과를 나타낸다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 한라봉 과피 추출물과 효소 처리시킨 한라봉 과피추출물의 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에서의 항비만 효과를 비교하여 연구하였다. Cytolase를 이용한 플라보노이드 형태 전환으로 한라봉 과피 추출물에 다량 존재하던 narirutin이 naringenin으로 또는 hesperidin이 hesperetin으로 변환되었다. 지방전구세포에 분화배지와 함께 10일간 HLB와 HLB-C, 양성대조군으로 Sinetrol을 다양한 농도로 처리한 결과 모든 세포군에서 0.5 mg/mL 농도에서는 세포생존율에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 않았기 때문에 적정 처리 농도를 0.5 mg/mL로 확정하였다. Oil red O 염색을 통해 지방세포의 분화 정도를 측정한 결과 양성대조군인 Sinetrol 처리군 보다 같은 농도의 HLB와 HLB-C 처리군이 분화를 억제시켰다. 지방세포 분화 억제의 분자생화학적 기전을 규명하기 위해 분화 관련 유전자와 단백질 발현을 RT- PCR과 western blotting을 통해서 실험한 결과, 0.5 mg/mL 농도의 HLB와 HLB-C 처리군에서 대조군과 Sinetrol군에 비해 $C/EBP{\alpha}$, SREBP1c의 유전자가 감소하는 경향성을 나타내었고 $C/EBP{\alpha}$와 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 단백질 발현이 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이미 형성된 지방세포의 분해 작용에 HLB와 HLB-C가 영향을 주는지 평가하기 위해 완전히 분화된 지방세포에 24시간 동안 0.5 mg/mL의 농도로 처리한 결과 Sinetrol과 HLB는 지방분해 효과를 나타내었으나 HLB-C는 지방세포의 분해 작용에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않았다. 따라서 이러한 실험 결과들은 한라봉 과피 추출물이 지방세포 분화 억제와 지질분해 활성이 있고 이는 cytolase로 효소 처리를 할 경우에도 비슷한 결과를 보였으며 오히려 지질분해 활성은 감소하였다. 한라봉 과피 추출물의 in vitro 상에서 검증된 항비만 효능이 향후에 in vivo 상에서 지방분화 억제와 지방분해에 미치는 영향에 대한 추가 검증이 필요하다고 사료된다. 또한 향후 한라봉뿐 아니라 다른 감귤류를 이용하여 다양한 probiotics 미생물에 존재하는 효소와 다른 상업화 효소 등을 통한 물질전환 효과를 비교 연구하는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) act as potent activators of the adipose differentiation program in established preadipose cell lines. TZD's have also been investigated in diabetic patients and reported to act as PPAR-${\gamma}$ ligands. In this report, the effects of TZDs on the differentiation pathway of myoblasts have been investigated. C2C12 mouse myoblasts were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagles medium for 4-5 days until they reached almost 100% confluency. Post-confluent cells (day 0) were further exposed to adipogenic induction medium along with TZDs for 48 hours. Thereafter, cells were exposed only to TZDs every 48 h until day 10. The control was provided with differentiation medium without any treatment. Alterations in the cells during the differentiation programme were analyzed on the basis of fusion index, oil-red-o staining, adipocyte index, adipocyte stain uptake measurement, immuno-histochemistry and western blotting. Exposure of C2C12 mouse myoblasts to TZDs prevented the expression of myosin heavy chain with parallel increase in the expression of C/EBP-${\alpha}$ and PPAR-${\gamma}$ and acquisition of adipocyte morphology, thus abolishing the formation of multinucleated myotubes. TZDs exert their adipogenic effects only in non-terminally differentiated myoblasts; myotubes were insensitive to the compound. Continuous exposure (at least 4-5 doses) to inducers after the growth arrest was essential to provide a sustained environment to the cells converting to fully matured adipoctyes. The results indicate that TZDs specifically converted the differentiation pathway of myoblasts into that of adipoblasts.

본 연구에서는 토복령(S. china) 메탄올 추출물(SCME)의 항비만 활성을 pancreatic lipase 효소 활성 억제능과 세포 실험계를 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 SCME는 농도 의존적으로 lipase 효소 활성을 유의적으로 억제시켰으며, 3T3-L1 preadipocyte에서 MDI로 유도한 지방세포 분화, 세포 내 지방 축적, TG 함량 등을 농도의존적으로 억제하였다. 이러한 토복령의 지방세포 분화 억제능은 핵심 작용 인자인 $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $C/EBP{\beta}$, 그리고 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 유전자 및 단백질 발현조절에서 기인함을 확인하였다. 또한 지방세포 내 중성지방 또한 토복령 추출물의 처리에 의해 유의적으로 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 토복령이 보유한 pancreatic lipase 활성 저해능, 지방세포 분화 억제능, 지방세포 내 지방 분해능을 통한 항비만 활성을 처음으로 밝혀낸 것이며 추후 계속적인 연구를 통해 활성 물질의 규명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
