This study aimed to determine the lipid-lowering effect of esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin), a coumarin derivative, using a cell model of steatosis induced by a mixture of free fatty acids (FFAs). Esculetin dose-dependently inhibited intracellular lipid accumulation by down-regulating the protein expression of lipogenic genes such as sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in FFAs-induced HepG2 cells. Moreover, esculetin significantly elevated the activation of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathways in HepG2 hepatocytes. The anti-lipogenic effects of esculetin mediated by AMPK activation were abolished when FFAs-induced HepG2 cells were treated with a specific inhibitor of AMPK, i.e., compound C. These results suggest that esculetin attenuates hepatic lipid accumulation by inhibiting lipogenesis through the modulation of AMPK signaling pathway on FFAs-induced steatosis in HepG2 cells and may be used for the prevention of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
