Mycelial extracts have a wide range of biological activities that modulate functions of mammalian cells. In this report, we sought to identify antiadipogenic mycelia with the use of 3T3-L1 cells and found that the extract ofCordyceps militarisexclusively suppressed differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into mature adipocytes without affecting cell viability. This inhibitory effect was dose dependent, reversible, and associated with1) a decrease in lipid accumulation,2) blunted induction of adipocyte markers including adiponectin, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α, and3) sustained expression of a preadipocyte marker, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.C. militarisalso significantly decreased accumulation of lipid and hypertrophy in mature adipocytes and preserved their response to insulin (phosphorylation of Akt) during prolonged culture. Subsequent experiments revealed thatC. militarishas the potential to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). In 3T3-L1 cells, treatment with AhR agonists including benzo[a]pyrene and 3-methylcholanthrene reproduced the antiadipogenic effect ofC. militaris. Furthermore, dominant-negative inhibition of AhR abrogated the suppressive effect ofC. militarison adipocyte differentiation. These results suggest thatC. militarishas the potential to interfere with adipocyte differentiation through activation of AhR.
