Suppressive Effects of Flavonoids on Macrophage-Associated Adipocyte Inflammation in a Differentiated Murine Preadipocyte 3T3-L1 Cells Co-Cultured with a Murine Macrophage RAW264.7 Cells

The suppressive effects of flavonoids on macrophage-associated adipocyte inflammation in a differentiated murine preadipocyte cell line (3T3-L1) co-cultured with a murine macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) were evaluated. Extracellular lipid accumulation was investigated via Oil Red O staining. The exp...

description The suppressive effects of flavonoids on macrophage-associated adipocyte inflammation in a differentiated murine preadipocyte cell line (3T3-L1) co-cultured with a murine macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) were evaluated. Extracellular lipid accumulation was investigated via Oil Red O staining. The expression levels of adipogenesis- and inflammation-associated proteins, including CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP)-α, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), C/EBPβ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), were determined via Western blotting. Proinflammatory cytokines, including monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. We found that silybin, formononetin, and diosmetin inhibited lipid accumulation and production of proinflammatory cytokines in the co-cultures of 3T3-L1 and RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, they inhibited the protein expression of PPARγ, C/EBPα, COX-2, C/EBPβ, and iNOS in the co-cultures of 3T3-L1 and RAW264.7 cells. These data support that silybin, formononetin, and diosmetin inhibit macrophage-associated adipocyte inflammation and lipid accumulation.
