Abstract

To confirm therapeutic functionality of Urechis unicinctus which have been favored as a special seafood in Korea, the antitumor and immunological effect of those glycoprotein were studied. 4mg/kg dose of glycoprotein from Urechis unicinctus was most effective in solid tumor growth inhibition (43.63%) of sarcoma 180 cells. However, in case of mice injected with more than dose of 20mg/kg, tumor growth was not inhibited. The higher prolongation ratios were achieved at levels of 2mg/kg with 31.2% and 4mg/kg with 28.9%. The cytotoxic effect of glycoprotein on sarcoma 180 cells was increased slightly as administering level was increased. Number of total peritoneal exudate cells in all the glycoprotein administered groups increased remarkably meaning that Urechis unicinctus gly coprotein could help to improve immunity. Notable body weight change was not resulted in the glycoprotein treated mice compared with control group, but the ratios of both liver or spleen to body weight were increased in mice injected with 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg. These results suggest that the glycoprotein from Urechis unicinctus could stimulate immunity of the mouse bearing tumor cells. Furthermore, the number of leucocytes was also increased by 38.78% at the dose of 20mg/kg and by 46.30% of control at 40mg/kg, while the lower level of 2mg/kg or 4mg/kg showed no effect in increasing leucocyte number. The biochemical values such as GOT and GPT in serum were not changed in mice injected with glycoprotein in comparision with control group.

개불 당단백질의 sarcom 180 cell 고형암 성장 저지능은 4mg/kg에서 43.63%로 나타났으나, 20mg/kg이상의 농도에서는 고형암 성장 저지능을 보이지 않았다. Sarcom 180 cell에 대한 수명 연장 실험에서도 2mg/kg와 4mg/kg의 저농도에서는 상당한 수명연장 효과를 보였으나, 2Omg/kg 이상의 고농도 투여군에서는 수명연장 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 개불 당단백질의 sarcoma 180 cell에 대한 직접적인 세포 독성 효과는 농도의 증가에 따라 약간의 종양세포 살해효과를 보였으나, 그 효과는 미약하였다. 개불 당단백질의 면역능 증진효과는 체중에 대한 간과 비장의 중량비 증가, 총 복강세포수의 증가 그리고, 당단백질을 고농도 투여시 30.78%~46.30%정도의 백혈구 수 증가 등으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로서 개불에서 추출한 당단백질의 항암효과는 면역활성의 증진과 면역자극의 효과라고 볼 수 있었으나, 전반적인 면역활성의 증가에도 불구하고, sarcoma 180 cell에 대한 고형암 성장 저지실험과 수명연장실험에서 고농도로 투여시에는 오히려 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 개불 당단백질의 최적투여 농도와 고농도 투여시의 부작용에 관한 더 많은 연구가 필요하였다. 이상의 결과에서 개불에서 추출한 당단백질의 면역자극에 의한 항종양 활성을 확인 되므로, 일반적으로 사용되어지는 항암 화학요법제와 더 불어 병행될 수 있는 면역증진제로서의 개발 가능성이 있다고 보여진다.
