- Abstract
- Mangiferin (MF) from Mangifera indica has been serendipitously found to ameliorate obesity and is used as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer agent. Nonetheless, the mechanism of MF-induced brown-adipose-tissue activation has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the effect of MF on thermogenic features during brown-adipocyte differentiation. Treatment with MF improved the expression of a brown-fat signature and of mitochondrial-mass-related genes, thus resulting in UCP1 induction. MF also raised the expression of other thermogenic regulators, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC1 alpha), PR domain-containing protein 16 (PRDM16), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha and gamma (PPAR-alpha and -gamma). MF promoted mitochondrial biogenesis, judging by increased expression of cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha-like effector A (CIDEA), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (DIO2), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7A (COX7A), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1). MF treatment increased the mitochondrial DNA amount and improved mitochondrial respiratory function by increasing the oxygen consumption rate during brown-adipocyte differentiation. A gene knockdown assay involving small interfering RNA and competitive inhibition with dorsomorphin revealed that MF may promote thermogenesis in brown pre-adipocytes via activation of AMPK signaling. Collectively, our findings suggest that MF may be a novel pharmaceutical agent that can ameliorate obesity via activation of brown adipose tissue.
