Abstract:
The effects of quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucuronide (Q3GA)on the triglyceride metabolism and oxidative stress in steatotic HepG2 cells and the underlying mechanism were investigated in this study.Significant fat accu-mulation was documented by Oil Red O staining;intracellular triglyceride levels were detected by triglyceride(TG)enzymatic assay.DCFH-DA staining assay was performed to observe reactive oxygen species (ROS)pro-duction of HepG2 cells.The level of malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were assayed by thibabituric acid method and xanthine oxidase method.Changes in the mRNA expression of peroxisome prolifera-tor-activated receptorα(PPARα);carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 A(CPT1 A);medium chain acyl-CoA dehydro-genase (MCAD);cytochrome P450 4A11(CYP4A11)and acyl-CoA oxidase(ACO);which are related with fatty acid oxidation were assessed by RT-PCR.Our results showed that Q3GA obviously reduced fat deposition and TG content.At the same time;Q3 GA decreased MDA content and significantly increased the SOD activity with reduced ROS production.Moreover;the PPARα;CPT1A;MCAD expression-related fatty acid βoxidation was upregulated with the treament of Q3GA;while without any change of the expression of CYP4A11;ACO.In conclu-sion;Q3GA prevents FFA-induced HepG2 cell steatosis;and enhances mitochondrial fatty acidβoxidation;which may partly be related to its anti-oxidation ability.
