Cardiac involvement has been reported in as many as 45-55% of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and significant cardiac morbidity is reported in 6-7% of HIV patients. We investigated the inhibitory effects of isothiocyanates (ITCs) on heart dysfunction and mortality by regulating apoptosis in the left ventricle of the heart in a murine AIDS model. Mice were divided into six groups: an uninfected group, an untreated LP-BM5 retrovirus-infected group, and four LP-BM5 retrovirus-infected groups treated with one of four ITCs (sulforaphane [SUL], indolo[3,2-b]carbazole, benzyl isothiocyanate [BITC], or phenethyl isothiocyanate [PEITC]). After 16 weeks, the median survival time of the LP-BM5 retrovirus-infected mice was 87 days, whereas that of the uninfected control group and all ITC treatment groups was over 112 days. SUL, PEITC, and BITC significantly inhibited apoptosis in the left ventricle by increasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio compared with LP-BM5-infected mice. In addition, SUL and PEITC suppressed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in the left ventricle of heart tissue infected with the LP-BM5 retrovirus by inactivating cytoplasmic nuclear factor <TEX>${\kappa}B$</TEX> (NF-<TEX>${\kappa}B$</TEX>). In conclusion, LP-BM5 retrovirus infection was related to survival of murine AIDS mice, and NF-<TEX>${\kappa}B$</TEX>-mediated iNOS expression may be an important mediator of left ventricle dysfunction of the heart. Furthermore, certain ITCs may have the potential to improve AIDS-related heart dysfunction due to their inhibition of apoptosis by decreasing iNOS and Bax expression through suppression of NF-<TEX>${\kappa}B$</TEX>.

<P>The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of isothiocyanates (ITCs) in delaying the progression of the murine immunodeficiency virus to murine AIDS, resulting in increased life span. Furthermore, we investigated the role of ITCs in modulating immune dysfunction caused by LP-BM5 retrovirus infection. Among the tested ITCs, oral administration of sulforaphane (SUL), benzyl isothiocyante (BITC), and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) showed the inhibition of premature death caused by LP-BM5 retrovirus infection, while indolo[3,2-b] carbazole (ICZ) and indole-3-carbinol (I3C) did not delay the progress of the LP-BM5 retrovirus to murine AIDS. Inhibition of premature death by BITC, PEITC, and SUL could be explained by restoration of the immune system and down regulation of free radicals. Dysfunction of T and B cell mitogenesis caused by retrovirus infection in primary cultured splenocytes has been partially recovered with administration of BITC, PEITC, and SUL. There was a shift from imbalanced cytokine production (increased Th2 and decreased Th1 cell cytokine production) into balanced Th1/Th2 cell secretion of cytokines under administration of these ITCs during the development of murine AIDS. Hepatic vitamin E level was significantly restored by administration of these ITCs, in accordance with reduced hepatic lipid peroxidation levels. This study suggests that certain types of ITCs have beneficial effects in preventing premature death during progression to murine AIDS by restoration of immune dysfunction and removal of excessive free radicals, implying that selective usage of ITCs would be helpful in retarding the progression from HIV infection to AIDS.</P>

<P>Lipid accumulation using Oil Red O dye was measured in 3T3-L1 murine adipocytes to examine the anti-obesity effect of four types of germinated rice, including germinated brown rice (GBR), germinated waxy brown rice (GWBR), germinated black rice (GB-R), and germinated waxy black rice (GWB-R). GBR methanol extract exhibited the highest suppression of lipid accumulation in the 3T3-L1 cell line and also the anti-obesity effect of GBR on high fat induced-obese mice. The mice were divided into three groups and were administered: ND, a normal diet; HFD control, a high fat diet; and GBR, a high fat diet plus 0.15% GBR methanol extract for 7 weeks. GBR administration significantly decreased body weight gain and lipid accumulation in the liver and epididymal adipose tissue as compared to the HFD control group. In addition, serum triglycerides (TGs) and total cholesterol (TC) levels were significantly decreased by following GBR administration compared with those in the HFD control group, whereas the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level increased. Furthermore, the mRNA levels of adipogenic transcriptional factors, such as CCAAT enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)-α, sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c, and peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR)-γ, and related genes (aP2, FAS), decreased significantly. Taken together, GBR administration suppressed body weight gain and lipid accumulation in the liver and epididymal adipocytes, and improved serum lipid profiles, in part, by controlling adipogenesis through a reduction in transcriptional factors. These results suggest that GBR is a potential agent against obesity.</P>
