• Luteolin
• Dnajb1
• Heat shock protein
• Adipocyte differentiation
• Osteoblast differentiation

Luteolin (3,4,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavones), a major dietary flavone, regulates a variety of biological effects including cancer progression, insulin resistance and inflammation. However, its exact actions on adipogenesis and osteogenesis and the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be clarified. In this study, we show that luteolin suppresses lipid accumulation but increases osteoblast differentiation. In mechanism studies, luteolin increases the expression of the heat shock proteins (Hsp) 40 (Dnajb1) and Hsp90 (Hsp90b1), but not those of other heat shock proteins including Hsp20, Hsp27, Hsp47, Hsp70, Hsp72, and Hsp90, and another type of Hsp40 (Dnaja1). Silencing Dnajb1 by using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), but not against Hsp90b, recapitulates the effects of luteolin in adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation. Consistently, the forced expression of Dnajb1 decreases the lipid accumulation and stimulates alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) activity. The antiadipogenic and proosteogenic effects of luteolin are significantly blunted in Dnajb1=deficient cells, further suggesting that Dnajb1 is, at least in part, required for luteolin's dual actions in adipogenesis and osteogenesis. Together, our data implicate luteolin as an ingredient and Dnajb1 as a molecular target for the development of functional foods and drugs in metabolic and bone-related diseases.
