To investigate the compounds present in wasabi leaves (Wasabia japonica Matsumura) that inhibit the adipocyte differentiation, activity‐guided fractionation was performed on these leaves. 5‐Hydroxyferulic acid methyl ester ( 1 : 5‐HFA ester), one of the phenylpropanoids, was isolated from wasabi leaves as a compound that inhibits the adipocyte differentiation. Compound 1 suppressed the intracellular lipid accumulation of 3T3‐L1 cells without significant cytotoxicity. Gene expression analysis revealed that 1 suppressed the mRNA expression of 2 master regulators of adipocyte differentiation, PPARγ and C/EBPα. Furthermore, 1 downregulated the expression of adipogenesis‐related genes, GLUT4, LPL, SREBP‐1c, ACC, and FAS. Protein expression analysis revealed that 1 suppressed PPARγ protein expression. Moreover, to investigate the relationship between the structure and activity of inhibiting the adipocyte differentiation, we synthesized 12 kinds of phenylpropanoid analog. Comparison of the activity among 1 and its analogs suggested that the compound containing the substructure that possess a common functional group at the ortho position such as a catechol group exhibits the activity of inhibiting the adipocyte differentiation. Taken together, our findings suggest that 1 from wasabi leaves inhibits adipocyte differentiation via the downregulation of PPARγ.  相似文献

Ethnopharmacological relevance

Momordica charantia fruit is a widely used traditional medicinal herb as, anti-diabetic, anti-HIV, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory, anti-leukemic, anti-microbial, and anti-tumor.

Aims of study

The present study is undertaken to investigate the possible mode of action of fruit extracts derived from Momordica charantia (MC) and study its pharmacological effects for controlling diabetic mellitus. Effects of aqueous and chloroform extracts of Momordica charantia fruit on glucose uptake and up-regulation of glucose transporter (Glut-4), peroxisome proliferator activator receptor gamma (PPARγ) and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K), were investigated to show its efficacy as a hypoglycaemic agent.

Materials and methods

Dose dependent glucose uptake assay was performed on L6 myotubes using 2-deoxy-d-[1-3H] glucose. Up-regulatory effects of the extracts on the mRNA expression level of Glut-4, PPARγ and PI3K have been studied.

Results

The association of Momordica charantia with the aqueous and chloroform extracts of Momordica charantia fruit at 6 μg/ml has shown significant up-regulatory effect, respectively, by 3.6-, 2.8- and 3.8-fold on the battery of targets Glut-4, PPARγ and PI3K involved in glucose transport. The up-regulation of glucose uptake was comparable with insulin and rosiglitazone which was approximately 2-fold over the control. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of the cyclohexamide on Momordica charantia fruit extract mediated glucose uptake suggested the requirement of new protein synthesis for the enhanced glucose uptake.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated the significance of Glut-4, PPARγ and PI3K up-regulation by Momordica charantia in augmenting the glucose uptake and homeostasis.  相似文献

白藜芦醇对PPAR-γ激动作用的研究   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7       下载免费PDF全文
 目的探讨白藜芦醇是否为过氧化物酶体增殖剂激活受体γ(PPAR-γ)的激动剂。方法在自身不表达PPAR-γ蛋白的U937细胞中电穿孔共转染PPARγ表达质粒和其报告质粒,从而构建PPAR-γ激动剂筛选模型。同时在U937细胞内单独转染PPAR-γ报告质粒作为阴性对照。转染细胞中加入已知PPAR-γ的激动剂吡格列酮30μmol·L-1和15,30μmol·L-1的白藜芦醇,培养24h后裂解细胞,测定细胞内报告质粒所表达虫荧光素酶的活性,该活性大小即代表药物激动PPAR-γ的能力。结果共转染细胞中加入吡格列酮后显著激动了PPAR-γ,使虫荧光素酶活性增强了4.2倍(P<0.001),验证了筛选模型的有效性。而加入15和30μmol·L-1白藜芦醇后,虫荧光素酶活性也分别提高1.78(P=0.033)和2.47倍(P=0.01)且与剂量相关(P=0.04)。而单独转染报告质粒的U937细胞加入上述药物后,虫荧光素酶活性无显著差异。结论白藜芦醇能够剂量依赖的激动PPAR-γ。  相似文献

The global epidemic of type 2 diabetes demands the rapid evaluation of new and accessible interventions. This study investigated whether Aegle marmelos fruit aqueous extract (AMF; 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) improves insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and β‐cell dysfunction in high fat diet fed‐streptozotocin (HFD‐STZ)‐induced diabetic rats by modulating peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ (PPARγ) expression. The serum levels of glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR), homeostasis model assessment of β‐cell function (HOMA‐B), lipid profile, TNF‐α and IL‐6 were evaluated. Further, the TBARS level and SOD activity in pancreatic tissue and PPARγ protein expression in liver were assessed. In addition, histopathological and ultrastructural studies were performed to validate the effect of AMF on β‐cells. The HFD‐STZ treated rats showed a significant increase in the serum levels of glucose, insulin, HOMA‐IR, TNF‐α, IL‐6, dyslipidemia with a concomitant decrease in HOMA‐B and PPARγ expression. Treatment with AMF for 21 days in diabetic rats positively modulated the altered parameters in a dose‐dependent manner. Furthermore, AMF prevented inflammatory changes and β‐cell damage along with a reduction in mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum swelling. These findings suggest that the protective effect of AMF in type 2 diabetic rats is due to the preservation of β‐cell function and insulin‐sensitivity through increased PPARγ expression.

Expression of CD36 scavenger receptors on macrophages is involved in oxidized low‐density lipoprotein uptake and foam cell formation during atherosclerotic lesion development. We examined the effects of aged garlic extract (AGE), a garlic preparation enriched in water‐soluble cysteinyl moieties that increases cellular total thiols and glutathione concentrations, on CD36 expression in human monocytes/macrophages (THP‐1 cells and primary human monocytes). Compared to control, AGE (1–5 mg/mL) dose‐dependently and significantly suppressed CD36 expression up to by 61.8 ± 7.4% in THP‐1‐derived macrophages and up to 50.5 ± 7.1% in primary human macrophages, respectively. Furthermore, AGE prevented induction of CD36 expression by the peroxisome proliferator activator receptor (PPAR) γ agonist troglitazone, and decreased binding of nuclear proteins to a PPARγ response element. AGE showed a stronger inhibitory effect on CD36 expression in THP‐1 cells during simultaneous incubation with phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA) compared to cells that had been pre‐incubated with PMA. Furthermore, AGE decreased CD11b expression in a dose‐dependent manner. These data indicate that AGE inhibits CD36 expression by modulating the PPARγ pathway in human macrophages and monocytes differentiation into macrophages, and suggests that the extract could be useful for the prevention of atherosclerotic lesions.
