Abstract and Keywords

Abstract: The activity inhibition of peripheral cathepsin L-like protease(CPL-1) can reduce the fat deposition of Caenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans) through promoting neuron serotonin(5-HT) signaling. This paper analyzed the effects of more than 23 kinds of natural products on the expression of cpl-1 and tph-1 induced by 1 mmol/L glucose supplementation in C. elegans, and found that the treatment of some flavonoids could significantly reduce the expression of cpl-1 and increase the expression of tph-1 based on RT-qPCR testing. It was verified that all these flavonoids could reduce the fat deposition induced by glucose using the worms expressing lipid droplet marker DHS-3::GFP. These results suggested that flavonoids could regulate fat deposition in C. elegans through CPL-1-5-HT signaling. Therefore, a C. elegans dual-fluorescence expression model of CPL-1::mChOint;TPH-1::GFP was established to be used as a rapid and efficient in vivo screening platform for screening fat-regulating natural products.

Keywords: cathepsin L (CTSL); serotonin; fat deposition; natural products; Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans)
