PG - 15359-73 LID - 10.3390/molecules200815359 [doi] AB - Synthetic drugs are commonly used to cure various human ailments at present. However, the uses of synthetic drugs are strictly regulated because of their adverse effects. Thus, naturally occurring molecules may be more suitable for curing disease without unfavorable effects. Therefore, we investigated phenyllactic acid (PLA) from Lactobacillus plantarum with respect to its effects on adipogenic genes and their protein expression in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes by qPCR and western blot techniques. PLA enhanced differentiation and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells at the concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 muM. Maximum differentiation and lipid accumulation were observed at a concentration of 100 muM of PLA, as compared with control adipocytes (p < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of PPAR-gamma2, C/EBP‑alpha, adiponectin, fatty acid synthase (FAS), and SREBP-1 were increased by PLA treatment as compared with control adipocytes (p < 0.05). PLA stimulates PPAR-gamma mRNA expression in a concentration dependent manner, but this expression was lesser than agonist (2.83 +/- 0.014 fold) of PPAR-gamma2. Moreover, PLA supplementation enhances glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes (11.81 +/- 0.17 mM) compared to control adipocytes, but this glucose uptake was lesser than that induced by troglitazone (13.75 +/- 0.95 mM) and insulin treatment (15.49 +/- 0.20 mM). Hence, we conclude that PLA treatment enhances adipocyte differentiation and glucose uptake via activation of PPAR-gamma2, and PLA may thus be the potential candidate for preventing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
