| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Lactobacillus plantarum strain No. 14 (LP14) has been known to exert anti-adipogenic effect in mice adipose tissue. However, underlying mechanism of anti-adipogenic effect of LP14 remains to be elucidated. In this study, we confirmed one hypothesis that anti-adipogenic effect of LP14 is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs) shed by macrophage phagocytizing LP14. The results indicated that LP14 EVs suppressed fat accumulation in 3T3L1 cells via down-regulation of gene expression related to differentiation of adipocytes such as KLF-5 and C/EBPα. Moreover, LP14 EVs suppressed glucose uptake in 3T3L1 cells through the down-regulation of GLUT1 and GLUT4, but not in skeletal muscle cell line C2C12 cells. Our study suggest that macrophage might transfer LP14 stimuli to adipocytes via EVs and regulate fat accumulation and glucose uptake specific in adipocytes.
