Abstract

Obesity is closely associated with profound dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease. Recent reports have suggested that alterations in gut microbiota can be linked to diet-induced obesity. In this study, the anti-obesity effects of Weissella confusa WIKIM51 isolated from kimchi were investigated, as evidenced by: i) reduced lipid accumulation and downregulated adipogenesis-related genes in 3T3-L1 adipocytes; ii) suppressed gains in body weight and epididymal fat mass; iii) reduced serum lipid levels, for example, triglyceride and total cholesterol; iv) increased serum adiponectin levels and reduced serum leptin levels; v) downregulated lipogenesis and upregulated β-oxidation-related genes in the epididymal fat; and vi) altered microbial communities. The collective evidence indicate the potential value of W. confusa WIKIM51 as a functional food supplement for the prevention and amelioration of obesity.

비만은 지질대사 불균형으로 인한 이상지질혈증과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 장내 미생물의 군집 및 기능의 변화를 유도하여 장내 미생물 불균형을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 민들레 김치에서 분리한 김치 유래 유산균 W. confuse WIKIM51의 항비만 효능을 in vitro와 in vivo에서 평가하였다. 먼저, WIKIM51은 지방세포 분화를 유도한 3T3-L1 세포에서 지방대사 관련 유전자의 발현 조절을 통해 지방구 생성을 억제하였다. 후천적 비만 동물 모델을 이용한 in vivo 실험에서 10주간 W. confusa WIKIM51의 경구 투여는 고지방식이에 의해 유도된 체중 증가를 현저히 감소시켰다. 특히, 부고환 주위 지방량, 조직학적 분석을 통한 지방구의 크기 및 혈중 지표인 TG, TC, adiponectin, 그리고 leptin의 수준이 HFD군에 비해 W. confusa WIKIM51 섭취군에서 유의적으로 개선되었다. 또한 W. confusa WIKIM51 섭취군은 Ppar𝛾, C/EBP𝛼, Srebp-1c, Fas와 같은 지방 생성 및 지방산 합성 관련 유전자의 발현을 억제하였고, 반면 에너지 소비 관련 유전자 Ppar𝛼와 Cpt1의 발현은 증가시켰다. 더 나아가, W. confusa WIKIM51은 고지방식이로 인해 유도된 Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes 비율을 정상식이군의 수준으로 감소시켜 장내미생물의 불균형을 개선시켰다. 이러한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, W. confusa WIKIM51의 섭취는 고지방식이로 인한 지방 축적을 억제하여 효과적으로 비만을 개선할 수 있으며, 이는 항비만 기능성 소재 및 식품 개발로의 활용이 가능함을 제시한다.
