Abstract

The present study was conducted to identify the mechanism about the regulation of appetite by examining the expression patterns of vasoactive intestinal peptide in the hypothalamus of either fasted for 24 hours or anorexia mutant mouse. In order to investigate expression pattern of the vasoactive intestinal peptide, immunohisto-chemistry was employed along with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and dot blotting. Immunohistochemistry has shown that level of expression of vasoactive intestinal peptide and appetite-suppessing neuropeptide, was lower in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and higher in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the anorexia mutant group than in the comparable regions in the control group. This pattern was repeated in the fasting group, which also showed lower and higher levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide expression in the SCN and PVN respectively, In contrast, the vasoactive intestinal peptide mRNA level in the entire hypothalamus via RT-PCR and dot blotting was similar in the fasting and control groups, while it was significantly increased in the anorexia mutant group.

본 연구는 신경 peptide 중 식욕감소 기능에 관여한다고 알려진 vasoactive intestinal peptide 의 식욕조절 기전을 관찰하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구방법으로 환경적으로 24시간 절식시킨 생쥐와 유전적으로 식욕부진증을 가지고 태어난 생쥐의 시상하부에서 vasoactive intestinal peptide의 발현양상을 조직수준의 관찰인 면역조직화학법의 분자생물학적 수준에서의 관찰괸 면역조작화학법과 분자생물학적 수준에서의 관철인 역전사연쇄중합반응(RT-PCR)과 dot-blot-ting을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 조직학적 수준에서의 관찰인 면역조직화학법에서 의한 vasoactive intestinal peptide 의 발현정도는 절시군에서의 경우, SCN 영역에서 발현정도가 낮았고 PVN 영역에서는 높게 나타났다. 식욕부진 돌연변이군의 경우도 SCN 영역의 발현정도가 낮았고 PVN 영역에서는 발현정도가 높게 나타났다. 분자생물학적 방법인 RT-PCR과 dot-blotting 으로 전체 시상하부의 va-soactive intestinal petide mRNA를 측정한 결과, 절식군은 대조군과 비슷하였고 식욕부진 돌연변이군에서 vasoactive intestinal peptide mRNA 발현은 현저하게 증가됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 실험결과로 미루어 보아 vasoactive intestinal peptide에 의한 식욕조절은 절식이라는 식이조절보다는 유전적 소인을 지닌 식욕부진돌연변이 생쥐의 식욕감소 조절에 더욱 민감하게 반응한 것으로 사료된다.
