Docosahexaenoic acid increases cellular adiponectin mRNA and secreted adiponectin protein, as well as PPARγ mRNA, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Abstract: Adiponectin, a protein secreted from adipose tissue, has been shown to have anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory effects, but its regulation is not completely understood. Long-chain n-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3; DHA) may be involved in adiponectin regulation as they are potential ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), a key transcription factor for the adiponectin gene. To examine this, 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated with 125… Show more

“…An increased waist circumference has previously been reported in children at 2.5 y of age whose mothers were supplemented with DHA during lactation (5). Although, to our knowledge, our study is the first study to determine the effect of prenatal DHA supplementation on insulin sensitivity, our findings were unexpected because of existing data from in vitro and experimental animal studies that suggested that DHA increases insulin sensitivity (25,26). Although it is possible that the observed differences in insulin sensitivity and the waist:hip ratio may indicate a true underlying adverse effect of DHA supplementation, these differences were secondary outcomes and, as such, require confirmation.…”

“…DHA supplementation in vitro can induce adiponectin expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes (Oster et al 2010). The stimulating effect of n-3 PUFAs on adiponectin secretion from human adipocytes is believed to be dependent on PPARg (Tishinsky 2013).…”

“…Culture, differentiation, and identification of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were conducted as described in a previous report (Oster et al, 2010). Cells were maintained in high-glucose DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum in a humid atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 at 37°C.…”
