丝瓜络多糖对3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化的影响

Effects of Retinervus luffae fructus polysaccharides on differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes

目的:分离提纯丝瓜络多糖,观察其对3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化的影响,并探讨其作用机制。方法:采用热水浸提法和DEAE-cellulose柱层析法对丝瓜络多糖进行初步分离和提纯,并对分离组分进行红外光谱分析。运用油红O染色法,观察丝瓜络多糖对3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化的影响,并通过RT-q PCR观察3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化时CCAAT增强子结合蛋白β(CCAAT/enhancer binding proteinβ,C/EBPβ)、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorsγ,PPARγ)和CCAAT增强子结合蛋白α(C/EBPα)mRNA的表达情况。结果:经DEAE-cellulose柱层析法分离得到2个多糖组分,丝瓜络提取物Ⅰ(RLFⅠ)和丝瓜络提取物Ⅱ(RLFⅡ),红外光谱分析结果表明2个组分均为多糖类物质。RLFⅠ具有显著抑制3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化及甘油三酯合成的作用(P<0.05),RLFⅡ则无显著效应。与对照组相比,RLFⅠ处理组3T3-L1前脂肪细胞C/EBPβ、PPARγ和C/EBPα的mRNA表达水平明显降低(P<0.05)。结论:丝瓜络多糖RLFⅠ具有显著抑制3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化的能力,其作用机制可能与下调脂肪细胞分化转录因子C/EBPβ、PPARγ和C/EBPα有关。

AIM： To observe the influence of polysaccharides extracted from Retinervus luffae fructus（ RLF）on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes and to investigate its mechanism. METHODS： DEAE-cellulose column was used to isolate and purify RLF. The effect of RLF polysaccharides on 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte differentiation was determined by oil red O staining. The effect of RLF on the mRNA expression of differentiation-related factors C / EBPβ,PPARγ and C /EBPα was detected by RT-q PCR. RESULTS： Two components of polysaccharides named as RLFⅠand RLFⅡ were acquired by DEAE-cellulose column and identified as polysaccharides by infrared absorption spectrum. RLFⅠsignificantly reduced the differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes into the adipocytes and the content of triglyceride in the cells（ P〈0. 05）. No obvious effect of RLFⅡ was observed. Compared with control group,the mRNA levels of C / EBPβ,PPARγand C / EBPα in RLFⅠgroup remarkably down-regulated（ P〈0. 05）. CONCLUSION： RLFⅠsignificantly inhibits 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte differentiation into adipocytes. The mechanism might be related to the down-regulation of differentiationassociated factors C / EBPβ,PPARγ and C / EBPα.
