Abstract

Sasa borealis is a major source of bamboo leaves used for traditional medicine in Korea. Obesity is a serious health problem in industrialized countries that has been implicated in various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and coronary heart disease. Recent reports have proposed mechanisms to reduce obesity by decreasing preadipocyte differentiation, and proliferation in 3T3-L1 preadipocyte. The preadipocytes play a key role by differentiation into mature adipocytes and increasing fat mass. In this study, we investigated whether ethanol-soluble extracts and ethyl acetate-soluble fractions from Sasa borealis inhibits intracellular accumulation of lipid droplets in a dose-dependent manner in 3T3-L1 cells (an important model system for studying adipogenesis). The down-regulation of PPAR${\gamma}$ and C/EBP${\alpha}$ (key adipogenic transcription factors) were confirmed by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Ethyl acetate-soluble fractions from Sasa borealis attenuated the expression of PPAR${\gamma}$ and C/EBP${\alpha}$. These results suggest that Sasa borealis inhibits adipogenic differentiation by regulating adipogenic transcription factors in 3T3-L1 cells. Therefore, Sasa borealis extracts may be a good candidate for the management of obesity.

본 연구에서는 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 이용하여 조릿대조추출물(SBE)과 에틸아세테이트 분획물(SBEA)의 지방세포 내 중성지방 축적 저해 활성을 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저 SBE의한 지방세포 분화 저해 활성을 확인하기 위해 추출물을 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에 분화를 유도하면서 농도별(10, 50, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$)로 처리하였고, 그 결과 SBE가 지방세포의 분화를 억제시켜 지방세포 내 중성지방 축적을 저해시켰다. 또한 SBE를 용매 극성에 따른 분획한 분획물들의 항분화 효능을 확인하였다. 그중 항분화 효능이 가장 뛰어난 에틸아세테이트 분획물로 지방세포 분화에 따른 세포 내 중성지방축적이 억제 되었다. 그러나, 지방세포 분해를 통한 glycerol release의 증가는 나타나지 않았다. 이 같은 결과를 바탕으로 항분화 효능의 기전을 연구하기 위해 PPAR${\gamma}$, C/EBP${\alpha}$ 등 전사활성과 지방세포 분화에 관여하는 유전자들의 활성을 확인해 보았다. 실험 결과 SBEA는 PPAR${\gamma}$와 C/EBP${\alpha}$의 mRNA 발현을 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰다. 따라서 SBEA 항비만 효과는 지방 생성의 주요 전사인자인 PPAR${\gamma}$와 C/EBP${\alpha}$의 유전자 발현조절을 통해 지방 분화 억제 및 지방 축적을 효과적으로 감소시키는 것으로 보이며, 효과가 있는 농도가 100 ${\mu}g/mL$로 천연물질로써 비교적 낮은 농도에서 우수한 지방 분화억제 활성을 나타내어 경제적이며 효과적인 항비만 기능성식품으로서 개발 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
