Effect of Cyclobuxine on Oxygen Free Radical Production and Cellular Damage Promoted by Arachidonate in Perfused Rat Hearts

허혈재-관류 적출심장에서 Arachidonic Acid에 의한 산소래디칼 생성 및 심근손상에 대한 Cyclobuxine의 영향

The present study was attempted to investigate the effect of cyclobuxine (a steroidal alkaloid) on generation of reactive oxygen metablite and myocardial damage promoted by an exogenous administeration of arachidonate in ischemic-reperfused hearts. Langendorff preparation of the isolated rat heart was made ischemic condition by reducing the flow rate to 0.5 ml/min for 45 min, and then followed by normal reperfusion (7 ml/min) for 5 min. The generation of superoxide anion was estimated by measuring the SOD-inhibitable ferricytochrome C reduction. The degree of lipid peroxidation in myocardial tissue was estimated from the tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration using thiobarbituric acid method. The myocardial cell damage was observed by measuring LDH released into the coronary effluent. Sodium arachidonate $(0.1\;and\;1.0\;{\mu}g/ml)$ infused during the period of oxygenated reperfusion stimulated superoxide anion production dose-dependently. The rate of arachidonate-induced superoxide anion generation was markedly inhibited by cyclobuxine $(1.0\;and\;10\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The production of malondialdehyde was increased by infusion of arachidonate. This increase was prevented by superoxide dismutase (300 U/ml) and cyclobuxine $(1.0\;and\;10\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The release of LDH was increased by sodium arachidonate was also inhibited by superoxide dismutase and cyclobuxine. In conclusion, the present results suggest that cyclobuxine inhibits the production of reactive oxygen metabolite and myocardial damages which were promoted by an administeration of arachidonate during reperfusion of ischemic hearts.

흰쥐의 허혈-재관류 적출심장에서 arachidonic acid의 투여에 의해 촉진된 superoxide anion의 생성과 심근손상에 대한 cyclobuxine (스테로이드성 알카로이드)의 영향을 관찰하였다. 적출심장을 Langendorff 관류장치에 현수하고 0.5 ml/min의 저용량으로 45분간 관류한 후 정상관류 (7ml/min)로 복귀시켜 허혈-재관류 심장으로 사용하였다. 재관류 시 arachidonate (0.1과 $1.0\;{\mu}g/ml$)를 투여한 후 superoxide anion의 생성을 관찰하였고, 좌심실 내의 지질 과산화정도는 MDA의 량으로 측정하였으며, 심근손상의 지표로 lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)유리를 측정하였다. 한편 cyclobuxine (1.0과 $10\;{\mu}g/ml$)을 허혈 이전부터 전관류 과정 동안 투여하여 arachidonate에 의해 초래되는 손상에 대한 영향을 관찰하였다. Arachidonic acid는 용량적으로 superoxide anion의 생성을 증가시켰으며 이 작용은 superoxide dismutase (SOD 300 U/ml)와 cyclobuxine에 의해 현저히 억제되었다. Arachidonate를 투여하였을 때 좌심실 내의 malondialdehyde (MDA)의 생성이 현저히 증가되었으며 cyclobuxine은 MDA의 생성을 용량적으로 억제시켰다. 또한 arachidonate는 LDH의 유리를 증가시켰으며 arachidonate에 의한 LDH의 유리 증가는 SOD와 cyclobuxine에 의해 유의하게 억제되었다. 이상의 결과로 흰쥐의 허혈-재관류 심장에서 스테로이드성 알카로이드인 cyclobuxine이 arachidonate에 의한 반응성 산소대사물의 생성과 심근세포손상을 유의하게 억제하는 것으로 관찰되었다.
