PPAR (peroxisome proliferator activated receptors) is a transcription factor that regulates activity and transcription of enzymes of lipid metabolism and thought PPAR-PPRE (peroxisome proliferator activated receptors ¡V peroxisome prolierator response element) interaction. Cell toxicity was also tested by (3-(4,5-dimethylthiaz ol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT assay)). The effects of ethyl acetate (EA) extracts of algae and Echinodermata sp. on PPRE-luciferase activity in Huh-7 cell and cell cytotoxicity were conducted. EA extracts of Gracilaria coronopifolia can induce PPRE-luciferase activity without cytotoxity. EA extracts of Pterocladiella capillacea, Gelidium japonicum, and Euchema sp. showed PPRE-luciferase activity and cytotoxicity. Gelidium amansii and Porphyra sp. did not show PPRE-Luciferase activity but had cyotoxicity. EA extracts of Spirulina sp. had PPRE-Luciferase activity but no cytotoxicity, while that of Chlorella sorokiniana inhibited PPRE-Luciferase activity but did not show cytotoxicity. EA extracts of Echinodermata sp. can kill larva and repellent of mosquito, but had no PPRE-Luciferase activity and cytotoxicity. These results demonstrated that the effects of EA extracts on PPRE-luciferase activity are different between algae. EA extract of Gracilaria and Spirulina showed PPRE regulation activity and Echinodermata sp. EA extract have the potential to become green chemical.
