Abstract

This study was performed to assess age-related changes in DNA damage and antioxidative capacity in 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 months old Sprague-Dawley male rats. The following were measured the degree of oxidative DNA damage as indicated by levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (80HdG) in the kidney ; the peroxidized lipid concentrations in the plasma and the liver, as indicated by the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS); and the levels of antioxidant enzyme activities in the erythrocytes and the liver. Both body weight (BW) and epididymal fat pad (EFP) weight per BW increased with age until 16 months, then decreased slightly from 20 to 24 months. However, the weights of the liver, kidney and spleen per BW decreased with age. Concentrations of 8-OHdG in the kidney increased with age, only slightly front 4 to 16 months, and then markedly from 16 to 24 months. TBARS concentrations in the plasma and liver were shown to increase with age, being lowest in the 4 month-old group and highest in the 24 month-old group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the erythrocytes increased with age Catalase activity in the erythrocytes increased from 4 to 16 months, then decreased from 20 to 24 months. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the erythrocytes showed no age-related change. Liver SOD activity decreased with age, particularly from 16 to 20 months, but catalase and GSH-Px activities in the liver showed no significant changes. These results showed that during the normal aging of SD rats, DNA damage in the kidney and TBARS concentrations in the plasma and liver increased with age, particularly after 16 months, and the imbalance of antioxidative enzyme activities in the erythrocytes accelerated with age.

본 연구에서는 정상적인 노화과정에서는 DNA 손상정도 및 항산화능의 변화를 알고자 생후 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24개월 된 Sprague-Dawley종 수컷 흰쥐의 신장조직의 80HdG 농도, 혈장과 간의 과산화지질 농도, 적혈구와 간내 항산화계 효소활성 등을 측정하였다. 흰쥐의 체중과 단위체중당 부고환지방의 무게는 가령에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보이다가 20개월과 24개월에서 약간 감소하였고, 단위체중당 간과 신장, 비장의 무게는 연령이 증가함에 따라 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 신장 조직내 DNA 손상의 지표인 80HdG의 농도는 4∼16개월까지는 완만하게 증가하다가 20, 24개월에서 큰 폭으로 증가되어 가령에 따른 증가 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 혈장과 간내 지질 과산화물 생성량은 4개월에서 가장 낮았다가 가령에 따라 증가하여 24개월에서 최고치를 보이는데, 혈장의 지질 과산화물 농도는 12∼16개월 사이에, 간의 경우는 16∼20개월 사이에 가장 큰 폭으로 증가하였다. 적혈구 SOD 효소 활성은 4개월에서 가장 낮았고 24개월에서 가장 높게 나타나 가령에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 적혈구 catalase 활성은 4개월부터 16개월까지는 증가하다가 20, 24개월에서 저하되었으며, 반면 GSH-Px는 가령에 따른 변화를 보이지 않았다. 간의 SOD 활성은 적혈구 SOD 활성과 달리 가령에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 특히 16∼20개월 사이에 가장 큰 폭으로 감소하였고, 간의 catalase, GSH-Px 활성은 가령에 따른 변화가 나타나지 않았다.
