2, CCAAT/enhancer binding
protein
and adipocyte specific protein 2 mRNA. CLA inhibited cell
proliferation of nonconfluent cells but did not affect cell division of
confluent cells, as indicated by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation
and mitochondria metabolism. Therefore, CLA inhibited differentiation
before confluence and during induction. However, cellular proliferation
was only inhibited prior to induction. These results imply that fat
reduction caused by CLA treatment may be attributed to its inhibition
of both proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes in
animals.

Another effect of CLA could have a profound impact on human health and
animal production. Limited reports exist of CLA lowering body fat while
not affecting total body mass. Pigs fed CLA deposit less subcutaneous
fat, are leaner and show improved feed conversion efficiency
(Dugan et al. 1997
). Mice fed a CLA-supplemented diet
develop lower quantities of body fat and increased carnitine
palmitoyltransferase activity (Park et al. 1997
,
Chin et al. 1994
). Mature, cultured 3T3-L1 cells treated
with CLA have reduced lipoprotein lipase activity and reduced
intracellular concentrations of triacylglycerol and glycerol
(Park et al. 1997
). Therefore, the reduction of body fat
by CLA in vivo could be due to reduced fat deposition and increased
lipolysis in the adipocytes.
These results prompted the natural supplement industry to market CLA to humans (e.g., Peak Nutrition, Willington CT, and PharmaNutrients, Lake Bluff, IL). The promotional literature states that by consuming CLA, body fat can be reduced. One preliminary clinical study performed by PharmaNutrients indicates that after a 90-d period, CLA consumption reduced body fat by an average of 20%. With minimal information available regarding both the mode of action of CLA in reducing animal body fat and regarding the action upon humans, more basic information is necessary to protect consumers from possible detrimental effects.
As 3T3-L1 cells are a reliable system for analyzing the development of
adipocytes, we chose this system to study the effect of CLA during
preadipocyte differentiation. Although these cells are derived from
mice, the basic mechanisms for fat development appear to be similar in
both rodent and human cells (Mueller et al. 1998
). The
studies presented here show that CLA functions in at least two
different ways to inhibit adipocyte development. Treatment with CLA
during the cell-proliferative stage inhibited cell number and decreased
5-bromo-2'deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and subsequent
differentiation. Treatment of the 3T3-L1 cells with CLA at the time of
induction of differentiation (after cells reached confluence) did not
affect cell numbers but did inhibit differentiation. Our results
indicate the presence of two different mechanisms of action of CLA in
3T3-L1 cells. Therefore, the action of CLA with dietary supplementation
may vary depending upon the stage of development of the cell, i.e.,
dividing cells could be severely inhibited by CLA consumption, while
nondividing cells could be less impacted.
| MATERIALS AND METHODS |

3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and induced to differentiate as
described (Chen et al. 1997
). In short, cells were
placed into culture (d -6) and grown to confluence (d -2) before
induction (d 0). Terminal differentiation occurred by d 12. Cells were
treated with CLA, mixed isomers of 9,11, purity >99%, in dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) (Nu-Chek-Prep, Inc., Elysian, MN) and linoleic acid
(LA, 9-cis, purity >99%, in DMSO, Nu-Chek-Prep, Inc.) at
the concentrations and times indicated.
Oil Red-O staining.
Cells were stained with oil Red-O and hematoxylin as described by
Suryawan and Hu (1993)
.
Northern analysis.
Total RNA was extracted from cells using the guanidinium-acid phenol
method (Chomczynski and Sacchi 1987
). RNA was separated,
blotted and probed with 18S as described in Brodie et al. (1996)
. Other blots were probed using DNA random prime labeled
with digoxigenin-dUTP as described by the manufacturer (Boehringer
Mannheim, Indianapolis, IN). Blots were prehybridized and hybridized at
50°C and washed two times at 50°C with 1X SSPE/0.1% SDS for 15 min
and one time with 0.1X SSPE/1% SDS at 60°C for 30 min. Detection was
performed as recommended by the manufacturer. Source of the probes:

Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity.
The GPDH (EC 1.1.1.8) assay was performed by a spectrophotometric
method for determination of the disappearance of NADH during
GPDH-catalyzed reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate under zero-order
condition (Kozak and Jensen 1974
) as modified by
Wise and Green (1979)
. The addition of CLA to the cells
1 h prior to the assay had no effect on GPDH activity. Protein was
measured according to Bradford (1976)
.
Cell number assay.
The colorimetric assay for quantitation of cell number and cell viability, based on the cleavage of the tetrazolium salt WST-1 {4-[3-(4-Iodophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2H-5-tetrazolio]-1,3-benzene disulfonate} by mitochondrial dehydogenases, was performed according to the manufacturer (Boehringer Mannheim #1644 807).
5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation.
After the indicated period of CLA treatment, cells were rinsed two times, and incorporation of BrdU was assayed after 2 h incubation, according to the kit supplied by Boehringer Mannheim (#1 647 229).
Statistical analysis.
Data were analyzed using the Students t-test to compare individual treatments to the DMSO-treated control cells.

mRNA. Differentiation was inhibited by CLA treatment before and during
induction of differentiation. Cell proliferation was sensitive to CLA
inhibition only before confluence.
Although fatty acids stimulate adipogenesis (Amri et al. 1991
), our data indicate that CLA is an exception and is
inhibitory. For all variables measured, the LA-treated cells did not
differ from the DMSO-treated control cells. Initially, the BrdU results
indicated an inhibition of cellular proliferation by both CLA and LA,
even when more cells were clearly visible in the LA-treated cells (data
not shown). After several rinses to thoroughly deplete the media of the
fatty acids, only the CLA was inhibitory. The presence of the fatty
acid at the time of the addition of the BrdU may have inhibited BrdU
uptake.
The factors involved in adipocyte differentiation have been studied in
detail by numerous investigators (review: Mandrup and Lane 1997
). The first major gene induced by the induction hormones
during preadipocyte differentiation is C/EBPß (d 1 of culture)
(MacDougald and Lane 1995
). C/EBPß then induces
PPAR
2 (d 2) and C/EBP
(d 3). PPAR
2 and C/EBP
together
induces the expression of aP2. Downregulation of C/EBPß mRNA precedes
the upregulation of both PPAR
2 and C/EBP
. Therefore, both
PPAR
2 and C/EBP
mRNA should increase during the culture period to
induce adipocyte-specific genes responsible for fat accumulation (such
as GPDH and aP2). Our data (Fig. 2)
indicated that both C/EBP
and
PPAR
2 mRNA were indeed increased from d 2 to d 4 in the DMSO-treated
control cells. However, CLA treatment prevented both C/EBP
and
PPAR
2 mRNA from reaching the same level as the DMSO-treated
controls. Therefore, although the mRNA for PPAR
2 and C/EBP
in the
CLA-treated cells increase somewhat from d 0, the aP2 gene, which
requires PPAR
2 and C/EBP
, may not be maximally expressed when
these two transcription factors fail to reach the same levels as the
control cells. In cells treated from d 0 to d 7 with CLA, the mRNA of
PPAR
2 and C/EBP
again do not reach the levels seen in control
cells. This was reflected by the reduced mRNA level of aP2 that is
known to be regulated by PPAR
2 and C/EBP
. This indicates that CLA
acts by influencing this well-described pathway. However, when cells
are treated after induction (d 2), the mRNA of these three factors was
not affected.
Houseknecht et al. (1998)
showed that aP2 mRNA level was
increased in the epididymal fat pads from diabetic fatty rats treated
with CLA. Using a transfection study, they demonstrated that CLA and
troglitazone can activate PPAR
transcription. They hypothesize from
these data that increased PPAR
is responsible for increased aP2
mRNA. However, Okuno et al. (1998)
showed in vivo that
troglitazone does not increase the mRNA of PPAR
in epididymal
adipose tissue. Therefore, even though Houseknecht et al. (1998)
demonstrated that CLA and troglitazone increased aP2
mRNA, no data exist to support that this is a result of PPAR
transcription in vivo. Confounding the interpretation of the data by
Houseknecht et al. (1998)
is the fact that they assayed
whole epididymal fat pads that include preadipocytes as well as mature
adipocytes. Having the adipocytes at two different developmental stages
leads to difficulty in interpreting their results.
In addition, fat depots are characterized by marked metabolic
differences, depending upon their location (Maslowska et al. 1993
). Raclot et al. (1997)
showed that
polyunsaturated fatty acids have different effects, depending upon the
fat site. Supplementation of Ob1771 and Ob1754 preadipose cells with LA
activates aP2 gene expression (Amri et al. 1991
). These
cells are also of epididymal origin, coming from the obese ob/ob adult
mouse (Smas & Sul 1995
). In another system,
PPAR
2-expressing NIH 3T3 cells, LA induces expression of the aP2
mRNA, although LA is less effective than other PPAR activators
(Tontonoz et al. 1994
). Although we detected some
stimulation by LA, the effects were not significant. Apparently fat
cells from alternative sites and genetic background respond differently
to fatty acids.
Animals fed CLA have less body fat (Dugan et al. 1997
,
Park et al. 1997
). CLA reduced feed intake, improved
feed conversion efficiency, decreased subcutaneous fat and increased
lean deposition in pigs (Dugan et al. 1997
). Park et al. (1997)
concluded that the lower body fat and increased
lean body mass in mice fed CLA "appear to be due in part to reduced
fat deposition and increased lipolysis in adipocytes, possibly coupled
with enhanced fatty acid oxidation." Our data suggest that the
CLA-induced fat reduction in these animals could be attributed to its
effect on adipose hyperplasia. This does not exclude the possible
effect of CLA on adipocyte hypertrophy. More work is required to
determine the CLA effect on lipogenesis and lipolysis in mature
adipocytes.
Proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells is inhibited by CLA
treatment (Durgam and Fernandes 1997
). Cell cycle
analysis indicated that the CLA blocked MCF-7 at the G0/G1 phase, thus
reducing cell growth. Our results of CLA treatment of proliferating
cells could also be explained by a block at the G0/G1 phase. As the
3T3-L1 cells would be unable to reach confluence due to CLA inhibition,
there may be incomplete response to the induction media, resulting in
inhibition of differentiation.
CLA also exerts a dose-dependent reduction in proliferation of A-427, a
lung adenocarcinoma cell line (Schonberg and Krokan 1995
). A significant increase in lipid peroxidation is observed
with the inhibition. Although the formation of malondialdehyde, the
indicator of peroxidation, was completely abolished by the addition of
vitamin E, growth rates were only partially restored, indicating an
additional mechanism. Cantwell et al. (1998)
also
concluded that CLA may act as a prooxidant because they found that CLA
downregulated cellular antioxidant enzymes when hepatocytes were
exposed to oxysterols. This oxidative action of CLA may inhibit
differentiation of our 3T3-L1 cells.
Our study clearly identified an effect of CLA on proliferation and
differentiation. We did not measure fat accretion, and therefore we
cannot ignore the fact that CLA has affected lipogenesis or lipolysis.
However, treatment of the 3T3-L1 cells by CLA from d 4 to 7 did not
affect mRNA for PPAR
2, C/EBP
and aP2. In fact, Park et al. (1997)
showed that CLA has an additional effect on cells if the
CLA is added during fat accretion. They found that CLA added at d 4
after induction reduced lipoprotein lipase activity and enhanced
lipolysis, resulting in less fat deposition.
With supplements of CLA now available for human consumption, it becomes more imperative to understand how this fatty acid can affect hypertrophy and hyperplasia of fat cells. Our data demonstrate that CLA is an effective inhibitor of both preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Thus, CLA may prove to be a valuable feed supplement to control the deposition of fat in animal production.
