AI Article Synopsis

  • Metabolic disorders are linked to disrupted circadian rhythms, and certain bioactive compounds can influence lipid metabolism through these rhythms.
  • Piperine (PIP), found in black pepper, can help reduce obesity by affecting lipid metabolism but the involvement of circadian clock genes in this effect is still unclear.
  • In experiments with HepG2 cells, PIP was shown to improve mitochondrial function and circadian synchronization while reducing oxidative stress, potentially through specific signaling pathways related to lipid regulation.

Article Abstract

Metabolic disorders are closely associated with the dysregulation of circadian rhythms. Many bioactive components with lipid metabolism-regulating effects have been reported to function through circadian clock-related mechanisms. As the main pungent principle of black pepper, piperine (PIP) has been demonstrated to possess anti-obesity bioactivity by affecting hepatic lipid metabolism-related factors. However, whether the circadian clock genes and are involved in the protective effect of PIP against lipid metabolism disorders remains unknown. In this work, oleic acid (OA) induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. The effect of PIP on redox status, mitochondrial functions, and circadian rhythms of core clock genes were evaluated. Results revealed that PIP alleviated circadian desynchrony, ROS overproduction, and mitochondrial dysfunction. A mechanism study showed that PIP could activate the SREBP-1c/PPARγ and AMPK/AKT-mTOR signaling pathways in a /-dependent manner in HepG2 cells. These results indicated that and played important roles in the regulating effect of PIP on hepatic lipid homeostasis.

Department of Oriental Medicine Biotechnology, College of Life Sciences, Kyung Hee University, Yongin, 17104, Republic of Korea.

Bakuchiol (), a component of , has been reported to have estrogenic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Nonetheless, its anticancer mechanisms and effectiveness against hepatocellular carcinoma remain unexplored. This study sought to elucidate the mechanism of apoptosis, autophagy, and cell cycle arrest caused by bakuchiol () and three flavonoids (-) with similar structures to compound in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is related to lipid accumulation and inflammation. Considering the role of lipin-1 and lipin-2 in fat homeostasis and inflammation, this study aimed to explore the effect of galbanic acid (Gal) and resveratrol (RSV) on alterations in the gene expression levels and protein abundance of lipin-1 and lipin-2 in HepG2 liver cells lipid-enriched with palmitate (Pal).

Materials And Methods: HepG2 cells were subjected to different amounts of Gal and RSV for 24 hours in the presence of Pal to induce lipid accumulation.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is known to promote hyperlipidemia primarily by inducing the degradation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor. Notably, recent studies have demonstrated that PCSK9 promotes inflammation in the vascular system, however, the roles of PCSK9 in hepatic inflammation remain unclear. As PCSK9 is primarily expressed in the liver, this study aimed to elucidate the roles of PCSK9 and the underlying mechanisms in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged hepatocytes.
