It has been reported that Rosa acicularis has anti-obesity activity by inhibiting the digestive lipase activity. However, there is a lack of clear in vitro studies regarding the anti-obesity activity of Rosa acicularis. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to verify the anti-obesity activity of Rosa acicularis leaves (RAL) and elucidate its mechanism of action in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. RAL dose-dependently inhibited the accumulation of lipid droplets and triacylglycerol. RAL had no effect on cell proliferation and survival in undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells, but it inhibited cell proliferation in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. RAL increased ATGL, p-HSL, and HSL, and decreased perilipin-1 in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, RAL reduced lipid droplet accumulation and increased free glycerol content in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. RAL increased ATGL and HSL in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Also, RAL increased p-AMPK, PPARγ, UCP-1, and PGC-1α in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. AMPK inhibition by Compound C attenuated RAL-mediated increase of ATGL, HSL, PPARγ, and UCP-1 in 3T3-L1 cells. Taken together, it is thought that RAL may inhibit lipid accumulation through lipolysis and thermogenesis via the activation of AMPK in adipocytes.

본 연구에서는 댕댕이나무 열매 추출물이 3T3-L1과 마우스 지방유래줄기세포의 지방 분화유도 및 지방생성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 3T3-L1에 댕댕이나무 열매 추출물을 처리하였을 때, 농도의존적으로 지방구의 생성을 줄였고 지방세포 분화에 있어서 중요한 전사인자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$, SREBP1의 발현을 억제시켜 지방 합성이 감소됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 마우스 지방에서 분리한 줄기세포의 지방 분화과정에서도 댕댕이나무 열매 추출물이 $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$, SREBP1의 단백질 발현을 감소시켜 지방 축적을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 이상의 결과로 댕댕이나무 열매 추출물은 세포독성이 없는 농도에서 지방 세포의 분화를 억제 하는 것으로 확인되어 항비만 기능성 소재로서의 활용 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in many tissues and is found to be enhancing the bone tissue formation or inhibits the bone loss. Although it is reported that taurine reduces the alveolar bone loss through inhibiting the bone resorption, its functions of taurine and expression of taurine transporter (TauT) in bone have not been identified yet. The purpose of this study is to clarify the uptake mechanism of taurine in osteoblast using mouse osteoblast cell lines. In this study, mouse stromal ST2 cells and mouse osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells as osteoblast cell lines were used. The activity of taurine uptake was assessed by measuring the uptake of [$^3H$]taurine in the presence or absence of inhibitors. TauT mRNA was detected in ST2 and MC3T3-E1 cells. [$^3H$]Taurine uptake by these cells was dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium ion. The [$^3H$]taurine uptake in ST2 cells treated with 4 mM calcium was increased by 1.7-fold of the control which was a significant change. In contrast, in $Ca^{++}$-free condition and L-type calcium channel blockers (CCBs), taurine transport to osteocyte was significantly inhibited. In oxidative stress conditions, [$^3H$]taurine uptake was decreased by TNF-$\alpha$ and $H_2O_2$. Under the hyperosmotic conditions, taurine uptake was increased, but inhibited by CCBs in hyperosmotic condition. These results suggest that, in mouse osteoblast cell lines, taurine uptake by TauT was increased by the presence of extracellular calcium, whereas decreased by CCBs and oxidative stresses, such as TNF-$\alpha$ and $H_2O_2$.

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.

Objectives: These experimental studies were designed to investigate the effects of antler's extracts on the expression of leptin, IGF-l and IGF-1 receptor on cultured 3T3-L1 cells. Methods: A mouse adipoblast cell line, 3T3-L1, was cultured with or without a differentiation medium containing Isobutylmethylxanthin, Dexametasone and Insulin before adding extracts of antler of various concentratio(10, 50, ]00, 200${\mu}g/ml$). The expression of leptin and IGF-1 receptor was measured by western blot assay, and expression of IGF-1 was determined by F ACS analysis. Results and Conclusion: The 3T3-L1 cells' differentiation did not show a significant induction by extracts of antler. The expression of leptin was significantly decreased depend on antler's concentration. The expression of IGF-1 showed a slightly increase by extracts of antler, whereas that of IGF-receptor showed a tendency to increase. The total amount of intracellular triglyceride showed a tendency to diminish as the concentration of antler's extract increase.

Toxoplasmn감염 마우스에 있어서 $interferon-{\gamma}(IFN-{\gamma})$ 투여 시기에 따른 T세포 아형 변화를 관찰하였다. T. gondii Beverley주를 감염시킨 마우스(마우스당 약 100개의 씨스트)에 recombinantmouse $IFN-{\gamma}$(마우스당 $5{\;}{\times}{\;}10^4$ Units)를 감염 4일전/2일전, 감염 2일전/감염일, 감염일/감염후 2일, 감염후 2일/4일에 각각 투여한 다음, 이들 4군의 비장 림프구 T 세포 아형 변화를 매주 1회씩 4주 동안 단세포군 항체를 이용하여 flow cytometry로 분석하였다. Thy-1, 2 세포 (전체 T 세포)는 감염 1주부터 감소하여 2주에 가장 적었으며, 감염대조군에 비해 $IFN-{\gamma}$를 감염 2 일전/감염일 또는 감염일/감염후 2일 투여군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. L3T4 세포(helper/lnducer T 세포)는 유의한 차이가 없었으며, Ly-2 세포($cytotoxic$pressor T 세포)는 $IFN-{\gamma}$투여시 감염 2주까지는 감염대조군과 유사하였으나 감염 3, 4주에는 모두 감소하였다. L3T4/Ly-2 세포 비율은 감염 1주 이후부터 감소하였으며, $IFN-{\gamma}$를 감염 2일전/감염일 또는 감염일/감염후 2일 투여군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 이상의 성적으로 보아 Toxoplasma 감염 마우스에 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 투여시 변화된 T 세포 아형이 정상 상태로 회복되었으며, $IFN-{\gamma}$를 감염 직후 투여시 더욱 현저한 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

The anti-adipogenic effect of dongchimi nano juice prepared using a nano-filtering process was investigated by measuring leptin and glycerol levels and the expression of a peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor-\gamma\;(PPAR\gamma)$ gene as indicators of lipid accumulation or lipolysis. Red pepper powder, seeds of red pepper, garlic, and ginger were added in the preparation of dongchimi. Dongchimi was fermented to reach the optimal fermentation period, followed by nano-filtration in the range of $0.0005\sim0.1\;{\mu}m$. The lactic acid bacteria of dongchimi nano juice were removed completely by a nano-filtering process. Treatment of dongchimi nano juice induced glycerol release in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes and decreased the mRNA expression level of $PPAR\gamma$. These results suggested that dongchimi nano juice may enhance lipolysis and modulate adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The steamed ginger has been shown to have antioxidative effects and a protective effect against obesity. In the present study, we investigated the effects of ethanolic extract of steamed ginger (SGE) on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model. MATERIALS/METHODS: The protective effects of SGE on adipogenesis were examined in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by measuring lipid accumulations and genes involved in adipogenesis. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal diet (ND, 10% fat w/w), a high-fat diet (HFD, 60% fat w/w), and HFD supplemented with either 40 mg/kg or 80 mg/kg of SGE for 12 weeks. Serum chemistry was measured, and the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism was determined in the adipose tissue. Histological analysis and micro-computed tomography were performed to identify lipid accumulations in epididymal fat pads. RESULTS: In 3T3-L1 cells, SGE significantly decreased lipid accumulation, with concomitant decreases in the expression of adipogenesis-related genes. SGE significantly attenuated the increase in body, liver, and epididymal adipose tissue weights by HFD. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly lower in SGE fed groups compared to HFD. In adipose tissue, SGE significantly decreased adipocyte size than that of HFD and altered adipogenesis-related genes. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, steamed ginger exerted anti-obesity effects by regulating genes involved in adipogenesis and lipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cell and epididymal adipose tissue of DIO mice.

GyeongshinhaeGihwan T1 (GGT1) is a newly developed oriental medicine to help weight control. We investigated nitric oxide production and cytokine secretion in mouse peritoneal macrophages. According to recent reports, macrophages are participated in fat accumulation and closely related with obesity. In this study, using mouse peritoneal macrophages, we have examined whether GGT1 affects the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), and interleukin (IL)-12 by the stimulation of interferon-${\gamma}$ and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). GGT1 inhibits LPS-induced NO production in a dose-dependent manner. The decrease in NO synthesis was reflected as a decreased amount of inducible NO synthese protein. We also found that GGT1 inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-12 production. In mouse embryo preadipocyte 3T3-L1, GGT1 reduced the viability in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that GGT1 may have potential effects in preventing and controlling adipogenesis and obesity.
