Biotransformation, the structural modification of chemical compounds, has proved to be an indispensable tool in providing beneficial health effects. Although the health benefits of biotransformation using plant sources has been widely studied, the anti-adipogenic effect of biotransformed dairy products, such as whey, have not yet been demonstrated. Here, we investigated the anti-adipogenic effect of whey biotransformed by Weissella cibaria in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Weissella cibaria-biotransformed whey considerably reduced the accumulation of lipid droplets and intracellular triglycerides in 3T3-L1 cells. In the presence of W. cibaria-biotransformed whey, the mRNA and protein expression of a key transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), for adipogenesis was markedly suppressed in 3T3-L1 cells. Additionally, W. cibaria-biotransformed whey also decreased the mRNA and protein expressions of lipoprotein lipase and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein, which are regulated by PPARγ. Moreover, W. cibaria-biotransformed whey inhibited the expression of adipokines, resistin, and leptin. Collectively, these results suggest that whey biotransformed by W. cibaria has the potential to exert anti-adipogenic effects by inhibiting intracellular signaling events of adipogenic-related transcription factors and target genes.
生物转化,即化合物的结构修饰,已被证明是提供有益健康效果的不可或缺的工具。虽然利用植物来源进行生物转化的健康益处已得到广泛研究,但乳制品(如乳清)的生物转化产物的抗脂肪生成作用尚未得到证实。在这里,我们研究了魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria)对 3T3-L1 脂肪细胞中乳清的生物转化的抗脂肪生成作用。魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria)生物转化的乳清可显著减少 3T3-L1 细胞中脂滴和细胞内甘油三酯的积累。在存在魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria)生物转化的乳清的情况下,3T3-L1 细胞中脂肪生成的关键转录因子过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)的 mRNA 和蛋白表达明显受到抑制。此外,魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria)生物转化的乳清还降低了脂蛋白脂肪酶和脂肪细胞脂肪酸结合蛋白的 mRNA 和蛋白表达,这些蛋白受 PPARγ 调控。此外,魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria)生物转化的乳清抑制了脂肪细胞因子抵抗素和瘦素的表达。总之,这些结果表明,魏斯氏菌(Weissella cibaria)生物转化的乳清通过抑制与脂肪生成相关的转录因子和靶基因的细胞内信号事件,具有发挥抗脂肪生成作用的潜力。
