Interruptin B induces brown adipocyte differentiation and glucose consumption in adipose-derived stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Interruptin B has been isolated from Cyclosorus terminans, however, its pharamcological effect has not been fully identified. In the present study, the effects of interruptin B, from C. terminans, on brown adipocyte differentiation and glucose uptake in adipose‑derived stem cells (ASCs) were investigated. The results revealed that interruptin B dose‑dependently enhanced the adipogenic differentiation of ASCs, with an induction in the mRNA expression levels of peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor (PPAR)‑α and PPAR‑γ. In addition, interruptin B efficiently increased the number and the membrane potential of mitochondria and upregulated the mRNA expression levels of uncoupling protein (UCP)‑1 and cyclooxygenase (COX)‑2, which are all predominantly expressed in brown adipocytes.
