ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the steroidogenic effect of Taraxacum officinale extract on mouse TM3 Leydig cells, which produce male hormones by increasing the levels of steroidogenic enzymes. Steroidogenic enzymes are involved in the production of testosterone in the testis. To date, the steroidogenic effect of T. officinale has not been reported. Therefore, we examined the steroidogenic effects of T. officinale extract (TOE) on mouse Leydig cells in vitro. Traditionally, plants have been used for the treatment of various kinds of ailments. For many years, some medicinal plants have been used to regulate steroidogenesis or late-onset hypogonadism (LOH). In particular, plants belonging to the genus Taraxacum have anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties. In this study, we determined whether the TOE exerts steroidogenic effects by increasing the levels of enzymes associated with steroidogenesis, such as the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR), CYP11A1, and translocator protein (TSPO) in the mitochondria and CYP17A1 in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, in mouse Leydig cells. Our results showed that the TOE significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of steroidogenic enzymes, thereby increasing the testosterone levels in mouse Leydig cells. Thus, our results indicate that the TOE increases the levels of steroidogenic enzymes, and further studies are required to establish the potential of this plant in regulating steroidogenesis and improving LOH.

蒲公英提取物对小鼠 Leydig 细胞类固醇生成酶水平的影响

摘要 在本研究中,我们研究了蒲公英提取物对小鼠 TM3 Leydig 细胞的类固醇生成作用,该细胞通过增加类固醇生成酶的水平产生雄性激素。类固醇酶参与睾丸中睾酮的产生。迄今为止,尚未报道铁皮草的类固醇生成作用。因此,我们在体外检测了铁皮草提取物 (TOE) 对小鼠 Leydig 细胞的类固醇生成作用。传统上,植物已被用于治疗各种疾病。多年来,一些药用植物已被用于调节类固醇生成或迟发性性腺机能减退 (LOH)。特别是,蒲公英属植物具有抗炎、抗伤害、抗氧化和抗癌的特性。在这项研究中,我们通过增加与类固醇生成相关的酶的水平来确定 TOE 是否发挥类固醇生成作用,例如小鼠中线粒体中的类固醇生成急性调节蛋白 (STAR)、CYP11A1 和易位蛋白 (TSPO) 以及平滑内质网中的 CYP17A1莱迪格细胞。我们的结果表明,TOE 显着增加了类固醇生成酶的 mRNA 和蛋白质水平,从而增加了小鼠 Leydig 细胞中的睾酮水平。因此,我们的结果表明 TOE 增加了类固醇生成酶的水平,需要进一步研究来确定该植物在调节类固醇生成和改善 LOH 方面的潜力。在小鼠 Leydig 细胞中,线粒体中的 CYP11A1 和易位蛋白 (TSPO) 和平滑内质网中的 CYP17A1。我们的结果表明,TOE 显着增加了类固醇生成酶的 mRNA 和蛋白质水平,从而增加了小鼠 Leydig 细胞中的睾酮水平。因此,我们的结果表明 TOE 增加了类固醇生成酶的水平,需要进一步研究来确定该植物在调节类固醇生成和改善 LOH 方面的潜力。在小鼠 Leydig 细胞中,线粒体中的 CYP11A1 和易位蛋白 (TSPO) 和平滑内质网中的 CYP17A1。我们的结果表明,TOE 显着增加了类固醇生成酶的 mRNA 和蛋白质水平,从而增加了小鼠 Leydig 细胞中的睾酮水平。因此,我们的结果表明 TOE 增加了类固醇生成酶的水平,需要进一步研究来确定该植物在调节类固醇生成和改善 LOH 方面的潜力。
