Soy pinitol acts partly as an insulin sensitizer or insulin mediator in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

ABSTRACT: The blood glucose-lowering property of pinitol is mediated via the insulin signaling pathway. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of soy pinitol on adipogenesis in a 3T3-L1 cell line; 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were treated with pinitol (0-1 mM) together with insulin for 9 days. The regulation of lipid metabolism was assessed by oil-red-O staining of intracellular lipids and real-time PCR of adipogenesis-related factors. The inhibition of cell proliferation was estimated by MTT assay. Pinitol treatment did not inhibit lipid accumulation, nor did it affect expression of adipogenesis-related factors, including ADD1, aP2 and FAS, in a dose-dependent manner. Expression of adiponectin, GLUT4, IRS, C/EBPalpha and PPARgamma mRNAs, however, increased in cells treated with 0.5 mM and/or 1 mM pinitol. Pinitol treatment did not affect the inhibition of cell growth and proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Accordingly, we suggest that pinitol is nontoxic to this cell line, and that it enhances adipogenesis by acting as an insulin sensitizer or insulin mediator via the upregulation of adiponectin, GLUT4, IRS, C/EBPalpha and PPARgamma in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

p62-mediated autophagy affects nutrition-dependent insulin receptor substrate 1 dynamics in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Project description:Aims/introductionPrevious studies have shown that an organism's nutritional status changes the protein levels of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) in a tissue-specific manner. Although the mechanisms underlying the regulation of IRS-1 in the nutrient-rich conditions associated with diabetes and insulin resistance have been well studied, those under nutrient-poor conditions remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate how IRS-1 protein levels change depending on the nutritional status of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.Materials and methods3T3-L1 preadipocytes were treated with glucose-, amino acid- and serum-free medium for starvation. IRS-1 protein levels were detected by western blot. Autophagy activity was observed by western blot and fluorescence microscopy. The effect of autophagy and p62, an adaptor for selective autophagy, on IRS-1 protein levels under starvation conditions was examined by western blot and immunocytochemistry.ResultsWe showed that the levels of IRS-1, but not those of insulin receptor and protein kinase B, decreased when starvation activated autophagy. The inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine or autophagy-related 7 (Atg7) ribonucleic acid interference counteracted the starvation-induced decrease of IRS-1. Additionally, Atg7 knockdown increased insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B under starvation conditions. Furthermore, p62 colocalized with IRS-1 under starvation conditions, and p62 knockdown counteracted the starvation-induced degradation of IRS-1.ConclusionsAutophagy through p62 plays an important role in regulating IRS-1 protein levels in response to nutritional deficiency. The present findings suggest that autophagy might function as energy depletion-sensing machinery that finely tunes insulin signal transduction.

The environmental obesogen tributyltin chloride acts via peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma to induce adipogenesis in murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Project description:Obesogens are chemicals that predispose exposed individuals to weight gain and obesity by increasing the number of fat cells, storage of fats into existing cells, altering metabolic rates, or disturbing the regulation of appetite and satiety. Tributyltin exposure causes differentiation of multipotent stromal stem cells (MSCs) into adipocytes; prenatal TBT exposure leads to epigenetic changes in the stem cell compartment that favor the production of adipocytes at the expense of bone, in vivo. While it is known that TBT acts through peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma to induce adipogenesis in MSCs, the data in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes are controversial. Here we show that TBT can activate the RXR-PPAR? heterodimer even in the presence of the PPAR? antagonist GW9662. We found that GW9662 has a 10-fold shorter half-life in cell culture than do PPAR? activators such as rosiglitazone (ROSI), accounting for previous observations that GW9662 did not inhibit TBT-mediated adipogenesis. When the culture conditions are adjusted to compensate for the short half-life of GW9662, we found that TBT induces adipogenesis, triglyceride storage and the expression of adipogenic marker genes in 3T3-L1 cells in a PPAR?-dependent manner. Our results are broadly applicable to the study of obesogen action and indicate that ligand stability is an important consideration in the design and interpretation of adipogenesis assays.

Taste 2 Receptor Is Involved in Differentiation of 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes.

Project description:Expression of taste 2 receptor (T2R) genes, also known as bitter taste receptor genes, has been reported in a variety of tissues. The white adipose tissue of mice has been shown to express Tas2r108, Tas2r126, Tas2r135, Tas2r137, and Tas2r143, but the function of T2Rs in adipocytes remains unclear. Here, we show that fasting and stimulation by bitter compounds both increased Tas2r expression in mouse white adipose tissue, and serum starvation and stimulation by bitter compounds both increased the expression of Tas2r genes in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, suggesting that T2Rs have functional roles in adipocytes. RNA sequencing analysis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes stimulated by epicatechin, the ligand of Tas2r126, suggested that this receptor may play a role in the differentiation of adipocytes. Overexpression of Tas2r126 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes decreases fat accumulation after induction of differentiation and reduces the expression of adipogenic genes. Together, these results indicate that Tas2r126 may be involved in adipocyte differentiation.

SIRT5 Inhibition Induces Brown Fat-Like Phenotype in 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity plays a key role in regulating systemic energy. The activation of BAT results in increased energy expenditure, making this tissue an attractive pharmacological target for therapies against obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) affects BAT function by regulating adipogenic transcription factor expression and mitochondrial respiration. We analyzed the expression of SIRT5 in the different adipose depots of mice. We treated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and mouse primary preadipocyte cultures with the SIRT5 inhibitor MC3482 and investigated the effects of this compound on adipose differentiation and function. The administration of MC3482 during the early stages of differentiation promoted the expression of brown adipocyte and mitochondrial biogenesis markers. Upon treatment with MC3482, 3T3-L1 adipocytes showed an increased activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is known to stimulate brown adipocyte differentiation. This effect was paralleled by an increase in autophagic/mitophagic flux and a reduction in lipid droplet size, mediated by a higher lipolytic rate. Of note, MC3482 increased the expression and the activity of adipose triglyceride lipase, without modulating hormone-sensitive lipase. Our findings reveal that SIRT5 inhibition stimulates brown adipogenesis in vitro, supporting this approach as a strategy to stimulate BAT and counteract obesity.

Expression and function of insulin/insulin-like growth factor I hybrid receptors during differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Project description:During the assembly of cell surface receptors, insulin proreceptors are sometimes joined to insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor precursors to form covalently linked hybrid receptors. To address the biological consequences of hybrid receptor formation, we studied 3T3-L1 cells known to undergo a 50-70-fold increase in insulin binding while maintaining nearly constant levels of IGF-I binding during differentiation from preadipocytes into adipocytes. The presence of insulin/IGF receptor hybrids in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was demonstrated by the immunoprecipitation of phosphorylated receptors and a novel enzyme-linked immunoassay. Hybrid receptor levels were very low in the early stages of differentiation and increased rapidly between days 4 and 6, reaching a level about 100-fold higher in the mature adipocyte. Coincident with the hybrid assembly, the formation of archetypal (alpha2,beta2) IGF receptors decreased. In fully differentiated adipocytes, virtually all of the IGF receptors were in hybrid form. Stimulation by IGF-I of receptors isolated from mature adipocytes caused autophosphorylation of IGF receptor beta subunits in hybrid complexes, whereas autophosphorylated IGF holoreceptors were not demonstrable. Insulin and IGF-I were equipotent in stimulating glucose uptake in the differentiated adipocytes, leading to the conclusion that hybrid insulin/IGF receptors can transduce a transmembrane signal when activated by IGF-I. We conclude that hybrid formation constitutes a novel post-translational mechanism whereby increased synthesis of insulin receptors limits the cell surface expression of the homologous IGF receptor. Furthermore, biological actions in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, previously attributed to archetypal IGF receptors, are in fact mediated through hybrid receptors.

Antiadipogenic Effects of Loganic Acid in 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes and Ovariectomized Mice.

Project description:Obesity is caused by an excess storage of body fat, resulting from a chronic imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Gentiana lutea L. (GL) root has been reported to reduce lipid accumulation in the aortic wall of diabetic rats. Here, we performed fractionation and isolation of the bioactive constituent(s) that may be responsible for the antiadipogenic effects of the GL root extract. A single compound, loganic acid, was identified as a candidate component in the 30% ethanol extract of GL. Loganic acid treatment significantly decreased the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of key adipogenesis-related genes such as adiponectin (Adipoq), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg), lipoprotein lipase (Lpl), perilipin1 (Plin1), fatty acid binding protein 4 (Fabp4), glucose transporter type 4 (Slc2a4), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (Cebpa), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (Tnf) were significantly reduced following treatment with loganic acid. In vivo experiments in an ovariectomy-induced obesity mouse model showed that loganic acid (oral administration with 10 and 50 mg/kg/day) significantly inhibited body weight gain, total fat increase, fatty hepatocyte deposition in the liver, and adipocyte enlargement in the abdominal visceral fat tissues. These results suggest that loganic acid in the GL root extract has antiadipogenic effects in vitro and in vivo. Loganic acid may be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of obesity, particularly in menopausal obese women.

Chebulinic Acid Suppresses Adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes by Inhibiting PPP1CB Activity.

Project description:Depletion of protein phosphatase-1 catalytic subunit beta (PPP1CB), a serine/threonine protein phosphatase and potent adipogenic activator, suppresses the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into mature adipocytes. Therefore, PPP1CB is considered as a potential therapeutic target for obesity. We screened 1033 natural products for PPP1CB inhibitors and identified chebulinic acid, which is abundantly present in the seeds of Euphoria longana and fruits of Terminalia chebula. Chebulinic acid strongly inhibited the hydrolysis of 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate by PPP1CB (IC50 = 300 nM) and demonstrated potent antiadipogenic effects in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a concentration-dependent manner. Additional studies have demonstrated that chebulinic acid suppresses early differentiation by downregulating key transcription factors that control adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. These results suggested that chebulinic acid may be a potential therapeutic agent for treating obesity by inhibiting PPP1CB activity.

LSD1 knockdown in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes

Project description:Obesity is often associated with a low-grade systemic inflammation state that contributes to the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerotic complications. This is usually coupled with increased macrophage infiltration in the adipose tissue and a defect in adipocyte differentiation that results in accumulation of hypertrophic fat cells characterized by a deregulated pattern of adipokine expression. Here we show that knockdown of histone demethylase lsd1 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes results in defective adipogenesis and derepression of an inflammatory program in these cells. The dataset consists of four sample groups: [1] 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (passage 19) transfected with a control scrambled siRNA at 24h after transfection (siC.24h), [2] 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (p.19) transfected with a siRNA directed against LSD1 at 24h after transfection (siLsd1.24h), [3] 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (p.21) transfected with a control scrambled siRNA at 48h after transfection (siC.48h), and [4] 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (p.21) transfected with a siRNA directed against LSD1 at 48h after transfection (siLsd1.48h). The 24h sample groups (siC.24h and siLsd1.24h) consist of two biological replicate samples; the 48h sample groups (siC.48h and siLsd1.48h) consist of three biological replicate samples. Each sample was hybridized to a separate array, for a total of ten arrays.
