Sulfated polysaccharides (SPS) from seaweeds have great biochemical and biotechnological potential. This study aimed to investigate the effect of SPS isolated from the seaweed on adipogenic differentiation as a possible alternative treatment for obesity. The SPS-rich extract from the seaweed was fractioned into three SPS-rich fractions (F0.5; F0.9; and F1.8) chemically characterized. Among these four samples, only F0.9 showed a significant inhibitory effect on adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Ten SPS-rich fractions were isolated from F0.9 through ion-exchange chromatography. However, only the fraction (CS0.2) containing a sulfated glucan was able to inhibit adipogenesis. CS0.2 reduces lipid accumulation and inhibits the expression of key adipogenic (PPARγ, C/EBPβ, and C/EBPα) and lipogenic markers (SREBP-1c, Fabp4, and CD36). The data points to the potential of sulfated glucan from for the development of functional approaches in obesity management.
海藻中的硫酸多糖(SPS)具有巨大的生化和生物技术潜力。本研究旨在探讨从海藻中分离出的 SPS 对脂肪生成分化的影响,以期为肥胖的治疗提供一种新方法。对海藻 SPS 丰富的提取物进行分级分离,得到三个 SPS 丰富的级分(F0.5;F0.9;F1.8),并对其进行化学表征。在这四个样品中,只有 F0.9 对 3T3-L1 前脂肪细胞的脂肪生成具有显著的抑制作用。从 F0.9 中通过离子交换色谱分离出 10 个 SPS 丰富的级分。然而,只有含有硫酸葡聚糖的级分(CS0.2)能够抑制脂肪生成。CS0.2 减少了脂质积累,并抑制了关键的脂肪生成(PPARγ、C/EBPβ 和 C/EBPα)和脂肪生成标志物(SREBP-1c、Fabp4 和 CD36)的表达。这些数据表明,来自 的硫酸葡聚糖具有开发肥胖症管理功能性方法的潜力。
