Abstract (original English)
We investigated the effect of a phytoestrogen, (3 R )-1,7-diphenyl-(4 E ,6 E )-4,6-heptadien-3-ol (DPHD), from Curcuma comosa Roxb. (Zingiberaceae family) on the adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitors, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). DPHD inhibited adipocyte differentiation of hBMSCs by suppressing the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis. DPHD at concentrations of 0.1, 1, and 10 μM significantly decreased triglyceride accumulation in hBMSCs to 7.1 ± 0.2, 6.3 ± 0.4, and 4.9 ± 0.2 mg/dL, respectively, compared to the nontreated control (10.1 ± 0.9 mg/dL) ( p < 0.01). Based on gene expression profiling, DPHD increased the expression of several genes involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, a negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation in hBMSCs. DPHD also increased the levels of essential signaling proteins which are extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) that link estrogen receptor (ER) signaling to Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In conclusion, DPHD exhibited the anti-adipogenic effect in hBMSCs by suppression of adipogenic markers in hBMSCs through the activation of ER and Wnt/β catenin signaling pathways. This finding suggests the potential role of DPHD in preventing bone marrow adiposity which is one of the major factors that exacerbates osteoporosis in postme
