The activity of transient receptor potential channel C-6 modulates the differentiation of fat cells.
FASEB Journal : Official Publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology 2019 Februrary 21
Previously, the V1-3 isoforms of the transient receptor potential channel (TRP) have been shown to promote or prevent adipocyte differentiation. In the current study, the C isoforms were screened for blocking adipogenesis. The hypothesis that the TRP classic or canonical (TRPC) deters adipocyte differentiation was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells employing the channel-specific activator and antagonist, silencing, and overexpression techniques. Fat accumulation in cells was visualized by Oil Red O staining. Intracellular calcium inflow was estimated by confocal microscopy. A high-fat (HF) feeding study was also performed on C57BL/6J mice to verify the findings in the cell model. Among the 6 C isoforms tested, only TRPC-6 inhibited the differentiation of fat cells. The phytochemical quercetin induced the channel protein expression. Calcium-imaging results also revealed that the flavonoid could trigger calcium inflow. Coadministration of quercetin (1 or 20 mg/kg body weight) in an HF diet prevented TRPC-6 from declining and attenuated phosphorylated (p)-PKB and PI3k, as well as the proliferation of visceral fat cells. The present study illustrated that TRPC-6 activation could perturb adipocyte differentiation. The food flavonoid quercetin was a TRPC-6 inducer and activator and it could prevent adipogenesis in mice.-Tan, Y. Q., Kwan, H. Y., Yao, X., Leung, L. K.
