| Abstract | AIM OF THE STUDY: This study was conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of SH21B, a traditional Korean herbal medicine commonly used for the treatment of obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes in the presence or absence of SH21B. Changes in mRNA or protein levels were analyzed using microarray, real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting analyses. Small interference (si)RNA transfection experiments were conducted to elucidate the essential role of ß-catenin. RESULTS: Microarray analyses showed that components of the WNT/ß-catenin pathway including ß-catenin, cyclin D1 and dishevelled 2 were up-regulated more than two-fold as a result of SH21B treatment during adipogenesis, which were confirmed by real-time PCR and western blotting. Modulation of the WNT/ß-catenin pathway by SH21B resulted in the nuclear accumulation of ß-catenin. Both intracellular lipid droplet formation and expressions of adipogenic genes including PPARγ, C/EBP , FABP4 and LPL, which were inhibited by SH21B, were significantly recovered by ß-catenin siRNA transfection. CONCLUSIONS: SH21B modulates components of the WNT/ß-catenin pathway during adipogenesis, and ß-catenin plays a crucial role in the anti-adipogenic mechanism of SH21B. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
