Abstract

3T3-L1 preadipocyte were differentiated to adipocytes, and then treated with 0, 10, 20, and 40 microg/mL of peanut sprout ethanol extract (PSEE). The main component of PSEE is resveratrol which contained 5.55 mg/mL of resveratrol. The MTT assay, Oil-Red O staining, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, and the triglyceride concentration were determined in 3T3-L1 cells. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities as well as mRNA expressions of C/EBP beta and C/EBP alpha were also investigated. As the concentration of PSEE in adipocytes increased, the cell proliferation was decreased in a dose-dependent manner from 4 days of incubation (P < 0.05). The GDPH activity (P < 0.05) and the triglyceride concentration (P < 0.05) were decreased as the PSEE treatment concentration increased. The mRNA expression of C/EBPbeta in 3T3-L1 cells was significantly low in groups of PSEE-treated, compared with control group (P < 0.05). The MMP-9 (P < 0.05) and MMP-2 (P < 0.05) activities were decreased in a dose-dependent manner as the PSEE concentration increased from 20 microg/mL. In conclusion, it was found that PSEE has an effect on restricting proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes.

  Fig. 1 Effect of PSEE on cell growth in 3T3-L1 cells. 3T3-L1 cells were plated at a density of 1.5 × 104 cells/mL in 24 well plate with DMEM, supplemented with 10% FBS, 10 µg/mL insulin, 1 µmol/L Dex, and 0.5 mmol/L IBMX for 2 days. After differentiation induction, the monolayer was incubated in post-differentiation medium with 0, 10, 20, or 40 µg/mL PSEE. Viable cell numbers were estimated by the MTT assay. Each bar represents the mean ± SE. Comparison among different concentrations of PSEE that yielded significant differences (P < 0.05) are indicated by different letters above each bar.
