KUANG Shuang-yu, LI Yi, KUANG Wen-ding, et al. Effect of Ethyl Acetate Extract from on Cholesterol Accumulation and SREBP-1 Expression in THP-1-derived Lipid-loaded Cells[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2014, 20(3): 137-140. DOI: 10.11653/syfj2014030137.
Objective: To observe the effect of ethyl acetate extract from Smilax china on the cholesterol metabolism in monocyte/macrophage cell line(THP-1)-derived lipid-loaded cells
and to investigate the effect of the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein(SREBP-1) and caveolin-1 in this process. Method: The ethyl acetate extract with different density (0
40
80
160 mg·L-1) were used to detect the level of total cholesterol(TC)
free cholesterol(FC)
cholesterol ester(CE) by using high performance liquid phase analytic process and the expression of SREBP-1 by Western blot at different time (0
12
24
48 h) in THP-1 derived lipid-loaded cells. Result: The ethyl acetate extract from S.china had some effects on THP-1-derived lipid-loaded cells
the lipid droplet density decreased in cells and the level of TC
FC
CE was decreased with a dose and time-dependent manner. The expression of SREBP-1 was upregulated. Conclusion: The ethyl acetate extract from S.china can decreased the level of TC
FC
CE in THP-1 derived lipid-loaded cells
and it is contributed to the up-regulation of SREBP-1 expression at some degree.
