| Title: | Schisandra chinensis berry extract protects against steatosis by inhibiting histone acetylation in oleic acid-treated HepG2 cells and in the livers of diet-induced obese mice. |
| Abstract: | We hypothesized that hepatic steatosis could be mitigated by the hypolipidemic activity of Schisandra chinensis berry ethanol extract (SCE) via the inhibition of histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity. HepG2 cells treated with oleic acid (OA) in the presence of SCE exhibited reduced OA-induced lipid accumulation, which was likely mediated by reductions in SREBP-1c expression. SCE attenuated the acetylation of total lysine and H3K9 that was otherwise increased by OA. Male obese mice fed with either a low-fat diet or Western diet exhibited reduced body and liver weights when supplemented with 1% SCE. The SCE-mediated attenuation of hepatic lipid accumulation was accompanied by a decrease in the expression of lipogenic genes. SCE also attenuated the expression of acetylated lysine and non-acetylated forms of H3K9 acetylation in the livers of these mice. Taken together, these results suggest that SCE has potential for further development as a novel therapeutic agent for the prevention of steatosis. |
