Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinskaja polysaccharide
on the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The crude polysaccharide extract of C. paliurus was
fractionated by using D301-R macroporous resin and DEAE-anion fiber resin, and a C. paliurus polysaccharide component
(CPC) was obtained. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS) were then used
to determine its molecular weight distribution. The proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes treated with
different CPC concentrations were measured by MTT and oil red O staining, respectively. At the same time the glucose
consumption and extracellular glycerol content were determined. Results showed that CPC consisted of three different
components and their viscosity-average molecular weight (Mη) was determined to be 50300, 3951 g/mol and 1406 g/mol,
respectively. Within a certain concentration range, CPC affected the proliferation of preadipocytes in a concentrationdependent
manner. Compared with the control group, CPC could reduce the glucose consumption and extracellular glycerin
content of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with inhibition ratios of as high as 9.61% and 30.8% respectively. These observations reveal
that the C. paliurus polysaccharide is capable of promoting the proliferation of adipocytes in certain concentration range and
reducing glucose consumption and extracellular glycerin content.
