Bu çalışma, metabolik açıdan giderek daha fazla yararları ortaya çıkan farmakolojik bir ajan olan topiramatın adiposit farklılaşması ve adipokin salınımı üzerindeki etkilerini, özellikle 3T3-L1 adipositlerinde adiponektin düzeylerine odaklanarak araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. 3T3-L1 preadipositleri farklılaşmaya indüklenmiş ve ardından değişen konsantrasyonlarda (1–100 µM) topiramat ile muamele edilmiştir. Lipit birikimi, Oil Red O boyama yöntemi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiş; adiponektin düzeyleri ise 6, 12 ve 24. saatlerde ELISA ile ölçülmüştür. Hücre canlılığı MTT testi ile belirlenmiştir. Topiramat, 100 µM’a kadar olan konsantrasyonlarda sitotoksisite oluşturmadan anlamlı lipit birikimi sağlamış, en yüksek lipit depolanması 50 µM dozunda gözlenmiştir. Farklılaşmış hücrelerde, tedaviden sonraki 12. ve 24. saatlerde adiponektin salınımında anlamlı bir artış saptanmış (p<0.01) ve en yüksek düzeyler 24. saatte belirlenmiştir (p<0.001). Topiramat, adiposit olgunlaşmasını artırmakta ve adiponektin salınımını uyarmaktadır; bu da potansiyel insülin-duyarlılaştırıcı ve antiinflamatuvar etkilerine işaret etmektedir. Bulgular, topiramatın kilo düşürücü etkilerinin bir kısmını adiponektin aracılı mekanizmalar üzerinden gösterebileceğini ve metabolik hastalıkların tedavisinde potansiyel bir ajan olabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.

The Effect of Topiramate on Adiponectin Secretion in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes: An In Vitro Approach to Anti-Obesity Mechanisms

Öz

This study aimed to investigate the effects of topiramate, a pharmacological agent with emerging metabolic benefits on adipocyte differentiation and adipokine secretion, with a particular focus on adiponectin levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced to differentiate and subsequently treated with varying concentrations of topiramate (1–100 µM). Lipid accumulation was evaluated using Oil Red O staining, while adiponectin levels were measured via ELISA at 6, 12, and 24 hours. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. Topiramate promoted significant lipid accumulation without cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 100 µM, with the 50 µM dose showing the highest lipid deposition. A significant increase in adiponectin secretion was observed in differentiated cells at 12 and 24 hours post-treatment (p<0.01), with the highest levels detected at 24 hours (p<0.001). Topiramate enhances adipocyte maturation and stimulates adiponectin secretion, indicating potential insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory effects. These findings suggest that topiramate may exert part of its anti-obesity effects through adiponectin-mediated mechanisms and highlight its potential as a therapeutic agent in metabolic disease management.
