- Paper Abstract
- BACKGROUND & AIMS: Oleuropein, a secoiridoid derived from olives and olive oil, has been known to possess antimicrobial, antioxidative, and anticancer activities. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether oleuropein has a protective effect against hepatic steatosis induced by a high fat diet (HFD) and to elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms in mice. METHODS: Male C57BL/6N mice were fed a normal diet (ND), HFD, or an oleuropein-supplemented diet (OSD) for 10 weeks. The plasma and hepatic lipid levels were determined, and the hepatic gene and protein expression levels were analysed via RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: The supplementation of HFD with oleuropein reversed the HFD-induced increases in liver weight along with plasma and hepatic lipid levels in mice. The expression of Wnt10b inhibitor genes, such as secreted firizzed-related sequence protein 5 and dickkopf homolog 2, was downregulated, whereas the β-catenin protein expression was upregulated in the liver of OSD-fed mice compared to HFD-fed mice. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), phosphoextracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2, cyclin D, and E2F transcription factor 1, along with several key transcription factors and their target genes involved in adipogenesis, were downregulated by oleuropein. OSD-fed mice exhibited decreased expression of the toll-like-receptor-(TLR)-mediated signaling molecules (TLR2, TLR4, and myeloid differentiation primary-response gene 88) and proinflammatory cytokines, in their livers, as compared to HFD mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the protective effects of oleuropein against HFD-induced hepatic steatosis in mice appear to be associated with the Wnt10b- and FGFR1-mediated signaling cascades involved in hepatic lipogenesis, along with the TLR2- and TLR4-mediated signaling implicated in hepatic steatosis.
