Objective To investigate the effects of picroside I and II, the main active components of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, on adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Methods MTT assay was used to detect the effect of picroside I and II on the viability of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, and to determine the concentration of drug administered. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes by differentiation medium. The effects of picroside I and picroside II (20 and 40 μmol·L^-1) on lipid accumulation were observed by oil red O staining. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of Acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACACA), fatty acid synthase (FASN), Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1), fatty acid binding protein (FABP4), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) mRNA expression levels in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Western blotting assay was used to detected the protein expression of CCAAT/ enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ), SCD1, and PPARγ. Results The treatment of picroside I and II with concentration below 50 μmol·L^-1 does not affect the cell survival rate. Compared with control group, the vast majority of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in the model group became circular after induced differentiation, and oil red O staining showed that there was a large amount of lipid accumulation in the cells (P < 0.01). Compared with model group, lipid accumulation was significantly reduced in the picroside I and II administration groups. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of ACACA, FASN, SCD1, FABP4, PPARγ and SREBP1 in the model group was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). Compared with model group, picroside I and II 20, 40 μmol·L^-1 significantly reduced the expression of ACACA, SCD1, FASN, FABP4, and SREBP1 mRNA (P < 0.05, 0.01), while picroside I and II 40 μmol·L^-1 significantly reduced the expression of SREBP1 mRNA (P < 0.05, 0.01). Western blotting results showed that, compared with control group, the protein levels of PPARγ, C/EBPβ, and SCD1 in the model group were significantly up-regulated (P < 0.01). Compared with model group, each concentration of picroside I and II significantly reduced the expression of SCD1 protein (P < 0.01), while the expression of PPARγ and C/EBPβ protein in picroside I 40 μmol·L^-1 and picroside II 20, 40 μmol·L^-1 group was significantly reduced (P < 0.05, 0.01). Conclusion Both picroside I and II can inhibit the adipose differentiation of 3T3- L1 preadipocytes, and reduce fat accumulation. Picroside I shows a better dose dependence, and their mechanism may be related to the inhibition of C/EBPβ-PPARγ pathway.
