  • Ginsenosides, a group of Panax ginseng saponins, exert the lowering effects of plasma cholesterol levels in animals. We had reported earlier that ginsenoside Rb2 upregulate low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression via a mechanism that is dependent of the activation of sterol response element binding protein 2 (SREBP-2) expression. This study was conducted to determine the effects of ginsenoside Rb2 on the expression of the hepatic LDLR expression at cellular levels using HepG2 cells, and to evaluate whether the sterol response element binding protein 1 (SREBP-l) was involved in the regulation of LDLR expression. Incubation of HepG2 cells in serum-free medium supplemented with cholesterol $(10{\mu}g/ml)$ for 8 hours decreased the mRNAs of LDLR mRNA by $12\%$ and SREBP-l mRNA by $35\%$. Ginsenoside Rb2 antagonized the repressive effects of cholesterol and increased both LDLR and SREBP-l mRNA expression to 1.5- and 2-fold, respectively. Furthermore, Western blot and confocal microscopic analyses with SREBP-l polyclonal antibody revealed that ginsenoside Rb2 enhanced the maturation of the SREBP-1 from the inactive precursor form in ER membrane to the active transcription factor form in nucleus. These results suggest that ginsenoside Rb2 upregulates LDLR expression via a mechanism that is dependent of the activation of not only SREBP-2 expression, but also SREBP-1 expression and maturation, and also indicate that the pharmacological value of ginsenoside Rb2 may be distinguished from that of lovastatin which is reported that it upregulate LDLR through SREBP-2 only, not through SREBP-1.

  • SREBPs는 지질의 항상성 및 대사를 조절하는 전사 인자이다. 이들은 내인성 콜레스테롤, 지방산(FA), 트리아실글리세롤(TG) 및 인지질 합성에 필요한 효소의 발현을 정밀하게 조절한다. 3종류의 SREBP 단백질은 2개의 다른 유전자에 의해 암호화 된다. SREBP1 유전자는 SREBP-1a와 SREBP-1c를 만든다. 이는 RNA의 alternative splicing에 의한 대체 프로모터의 이용으로부터 유도된다. SREBP-2는 별도의 유전자에서 유래한다. 또한, SREBPs는 ER 스트레스, 염증, 자가포식 및 세포사멸과 같은 수많은 병인과정에 관여하며, 비만, 이상 지질혈증, 당뇨병 및 비알콜성 지방간 질환 등을 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 유전체의 분석은 SREBPs가 생물학적 신호 전달, 세포 신진 대사, 및 성장을 조절하는 중요한 연결고리임을 보여 주었다. 이 과정에서 SREBP는 PI3K-Akt-mTOR 경로를 통해 활성화 된다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 정확한 분자 메커니즘은 좀더 밝혀져야 한다. 이 리뷰에서는 세포, 기관 및 생물개체 수준의 생리학 및 병태 생리학 영역에서 SREBP의 역할에 대한 포괄적인 이해를 넓혀 줄 것이다.

  • Lipin1 was identified as a phosphatidate phosphatase enzyme, and it plays a key role in lipid metabolism. Since free radicals contribute to metabolic diseases in the liver, this study investigated the effects of free radicals on the regulation of Lipin1 expression in Huh7 and AML12 cells. Hydrogen peroxide induced mRNA and protein expression of Lipin1 in Huh7 cells, which was assayed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunoblotting, respectively. Induction of Lipin1 by hydrogen peroxide was confirmed in AML12 cells. Hydrogen peroxide treatment significantly increased expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-2, but not SREBP-1. Moreover, nuclear translocation of SREBP-2 was detected after hydrogen peroxide treatment. Hydrogen peroxide-induced Lipin1 or SREBP-2 expression was significantly reduced by N-acetyl-$\small{L}$-cysteine treatment, indicating that reactive oxygen species (ROS) were implicated in Lipin1 expression. Next, we investigated whether the hypoxic environments that cause endogenous ROS production in mitochondria in metabolic diseases affect the expression of Lipin1. Exposure to hypoxia also increased Lipin1 expression. In contrast, pretreatment with antioxidants attenuated hypoxia-induced Lipin1 expression. Collectively, our results show that ROS activate SREBP-2, which induces Lipin1 expression.

  • 알코올에 의한 지방간(지방변성증)은 에탄올 대사에 의해 감소되는 당량의 과도한 발생에 의해 유발된다. 일반적으로 만성적인 에탄올 투여는 간 지질의 합성을 증가시키는 sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c)를 조절함으로써 지방변성증을 유발시킨다. SPEBP-1c에서 에탄올의 영향은 간에서의 지방대사를 조절하는 NAD+ 의존적 단백질 탈아세틸화효소인 mammalian sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1)에 의해 조정된다. 홍삼은 항당뇨와 항비만 효과를 위해 아시아에서 광범위하게 사용되는 한약재이다. 홍삼의 약리학적 치료학적인 효과는 진세노사이드와 같은 생물활성 성분에 의해 주로 일어난다. 따라서 우리는 마우스 간세포주인 AML-12 세포에서 SREBP-1과 SIRT-1에대한 한국홍삼 추출물의 조절효과를 평가하였다. 알코올과 홍삼추출물(0-1,000 μg/ml)을 AML-12 세포주에 처리하고, 지방소립을 Oil red O 염색법으로 확인하고, western blots을 사용해 SIRT-1과 SREBP-1의 발현을 확인하였다. 에탄올을 처리한 세포에서 홍삼추출물은 SIRT-1과 SREBP-1c의 발현을 회복시켰다. 또한 에탄올이 처리된 세포에서 홍삼추출물과 진세노사이드 Rb2와 Rd가 SREBP-1을 유의적으로 감소시키는 것으로 확인 되었다. 결과적으로 홍삼과 활성 진세노사이드 성분인 Rb2와 Rd가 SIRT-1과 간 지질대사를 변화시키는 SREBP-1c의 아세틸화의 조절을 통해 알코올에 의한 간지방변성을 억제하는 것을 확인하였다.

  • 인삼성분 중 ginsenoside-Rb$_2$에 의한 LDL receptor발현 증가의 기전을 HepG$_2$세포에서 관찰하였고 이를 lovastatin과 비교하였다. 콜레스테롤 투여에 의하여 억제된 LDL receptor mRNA발현이 ginsenoside-Rb$_2$에 의하여 다시 증가하였고 이는 lovastatin에 의한 증가 효과보다 뛰어났다. SREBP mRNA의 발현 또한 콜레스테롤 투여에 의하여 억제되나 ginseonside-Rb$_2$에 의하여 발현이 증가하였고 이는 lovastatin에 의한 효과와 비슷하였다. 세포에 투여한 ginsenoside-Rb$_2$의 농도에 비례하여 SREBP-1 mRNA의 발현이 증가하였으며 ginsenoside-Rb$_2$의 대사체인 compound K를 투여한 경우에도 SREBP-1 mRNA가 비슷한 양상으로 혹은 더 많이 발현되었다. 따라서 ginsenoside-Rb$_2$에 의한 LDL receptor의 발현 증가는 SREBP의 발현 증가 때문이라고 설명할 수 있다. 즉 ginsenoside-Rb$_2$에 의한 SREBP 발현 증가는 콜레스테롤 투여에 의하여 억제된 LDL receptor발현을 증가시켜 결과적으로 혈중의 콜레스테롤을 효과적으로 제거하는 것으로 판단된다.

  • Objectives : Brain-Liver axis is an important target of the chronic human diseases. Hepatic steatosis is one of the most famous disorders in the chronic diseases. This study investigated the moderating effect of beneficial herbs on the fat accumulation, which is mediated by the LXR alpha-SREBP-1c signaling pathway. Methods : In order to confirm the SREBP-1c inhibitory effect, we performed immonoblotting ananlysis using HepG2 cells and Huh 7 cells treated by T0901317, the ligand of LXRα. Results : Forsythiae suspensa water extract (FSE) was not cytotoxicity in cell lines. FSE inhibited SREBP-1c protein expression in HepG2 and Huh7 cells induced by T0901317. In addition, FSE increased the phosphorylation of LKB1, which is associated with LXR-related pathway in HepG2 and Huh 7 cells. Conclusions : These results showed that FSE activated LKB1 to suppress SREBP-1c, which protects the cells against oxidative stress.

  • Objectives: This study was done to look into whether Nrf2 take some role in the anti-lipogenic effect of kaurenoic acid in a nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) cellular model. Materials and Methods: We measured the effect of kaurenoic acid on intracellular steatosis and Nrf2 activation. Next, the effect of kaurenoic acid on SREBP-1c and some lipogenic genes in palmitate treated HepG2 cells with or without Nrf2 silencing. Results: The increased SREBP-1c expression was significantly decreased by concomitant kaurenoic acid treatment in non-targeting negative control siRNA transfected HepG2 cells. However, kaurenoic acid did not significantly inhibited increased SREBP-1c level in Nrf2 specific siRNA transfected HepG2 cells Conclusions: Kaurenoic acid has a potential to activate Nrf2, which may suppress SREBP-1c mediated intracellular steatosis in HepG2 cells.

  • The differentiation and development of preadipocyte into mature adipocyte are regulated by transcription factors, such as CCAAT enhancer binding protein (Cebp) gene family and sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (Srebp1). Steroid hormones give influences on the development and function of adipocyte. The present research examined expression patterns of CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (Cebpa), CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta (Cebpb), CCAAT enhancer binding protein gamma (Cebpg), sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (Srebp1), androgen receptor (Ar), and estrogen receptors (Esr) among different epididymal fat parts during postnatal period by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. In the distal epididymal fat, expression of Cebpa, Cebpb, Cebpg, Srebp1, Ar, and Esr2 was increased until 12 months of age, while expression of Esr1 was decreased at 5 months of age and was not detectable after 8 months of age. In the proximal epididymal fat, transcript levels of Cebps and Srebp1 were increased at 8 months of age, followed by decreases of Cebpb and Cebpg transcript levels at 12 months of age. An additional increase of Srebp1 expression was observed at 12 months of age. Expression of Ar and Esr2 were increased until 8 months of age, followed by a drop of Ar expression level at 12 months of age. Expression pattern of Esr1 was similar to that in the distal epididymal fat. In the tail epididymal fat, expression of Cebpa, Cebpg, Srebp1, Ar, and Esr2 was increased with age. Esr1 was not detectable at all. The highest level of Cebpb was observed at 8 months of age. These data suggest the possibility of developmental and functional differentiation among the epididymal fat parts.

  • As a $\beta_2$-adrenergic agonist, clenbuterol decreases body fat, but the molecular mechanism underlying this process is unclear. In the present study, we treated 293T and L-02 cells with clenbuterol and found that clenbuterol downregulates SREBP-1c expression and upregulates CREB1 expression. Considering SREBP-1c has the function of regulating the transcription of several lipogenic enzymes, we considered that the downregulation of SREBP-1c is responsible for body fat reduction by clenbuterol. Many previous studies have found that clenbuterol markedly increases intracellular cAMP levels, therefore, we also investigated whether CREB1 is involved in this process. The data from our experiments indicate that CREB1 overexpression inhibits SREBP-1c transcription, and that this action is antagonized by CREB2, a competitive inhibitor of CREB1. Furthermore, since PPARs are able to repress SREBP-1c transcription, we investigated whether clenbuterol and CREB1 function via a pathway involving PPAR activation. However, our results showed that clenbuterol or CREB1 overexpression suppressed PPARs transcription in 293T and L-02 cells, which suggested that they impair SREBP-1c expression in other ways.

  • 폴리코사놀의 콜레스테롤 감소 효과에 대한 기전은 아직 명확하게 규명되지 못하고 있다. 최근 몇몇 연구들은 지방산 합성 경로를 통한 콜레스테롤 합성의 조절에 sterol regulatory element-binding proteins(SREBP-1c)의 역할을 제시하였다. 그러나 현재까지 SREBP-1c에 의해 조절되는 지방산 합성에서 폴리코사놀의 효과에 대한 연구는 전무하다. 그러므로 본 연구의 목표는 SREBP-1c에 의해 매개되는 지방산 합성이 폴리코사놀의 콜레스테롤 감소 효과와 관계하는지를 조사하는 것이다. 7주령의 C57BL/6 수컷 생쥐를 7개군(군당 7마리)으로 나누고 8주간 다음과 같이 처리하였다; 1) 정상식이군(정상 대조군), 2) 고지방식이군(high-fat diet, HFD, 음성대조군), 3) 고지방식이+에탄올처리군(Pol-0), 4) 고지방식이+1 mg/kg 폴리코사놀처리군(Pol-1), 5) 고지방식이+2 mg/kg 폴리코사놀처리군(Pol-2), 6) 고지방식이+4 mg/kg 폴리코사놀처리군(Pol-4),7) 고지방식이+simvastatin 50 ㎍/kg 처리군(양성 대조군). 폴리코사놀과 simvastatin은 고지방식이를 유지하는 동안 매일 동일 시간에 처리하였으며 체중과 음식섭취량은 8주 동안 매주 측정하였다. 8주 후, 혈중 콜레스테롤 수치를 측정하였으며, 간의 조직학적 분석과 SREBP-1c와 지방산의 발현을 조사하였다. 폴리코사놀은 농도-의존적으로 체중과 음식섭취량을 감소시켰다. 혈중 콜레스테롤 수치는 Pol-1과 Pol-4군에서 유의하게 감소하였으며, SREBP-1c와 FAS의 발현 역시 Pol-4 군에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과들은 폴리코사놀의 콜레스테롤 감소 효과가 SREBP-1c와 FAS의 발현 억제에 기인하여 일어날 수 있음을 시사한다.
