Abstract
The stimulation of adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a prime target to decrease the hyperglycemic condition, hence it is a lutein (L) and oxidised lutein (OXL) is a target molecule for the treatment of type II diabetes. In the current study, a plausible interaction of L and OXL with AMPK was investigated by molecular docking. In addition, the effect of L and OXL for the activation of AMPK that triggers the downstream regulator peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC‐1α), TFAM expression, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), mitochondrial biogenesis and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) in high glucose treated HepG2 cells were investigated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Molecular docking reveals higher binding affinity of L (ΔG = −6.3 kcal/mol) and OXL (ΔG = −15.5 kcal/mol) with AMPK, compared with metformin (ΔG = −5.0 kcal/mol). The phosphorylation of AMPK increased by 1.3‐ and 1.5‐fold with L and OXL treatment, respectively, in high glucose induced HepG2 cells. The activation of PGC‐1α is significant (P < 0.05) in OXL group than L. Similarly, TFAM expression is increased with L and OXL compared with the high glucose group. Further increase in SOD2 and mtDNA, confirms the efficacy of L and OXL in restoring the mitochondrial biogenesis in high glucose induced cells through AMPK, PGC‐1α, and TFAM.
