초록

루이보스(Aspalathus linearis; RB)는 콩과식물로서 남아프리카 Cape Province의 북서부 산악지역에 자생한다. 루이보스차 침제는 가는 가지와 잎의 발효산물로서 플리보노이드류와 페놀산이 있어 강한 항산화활성을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 저산소증모델에서 루이보스차 침제가 배양한 흰쥐 대뇌세포의 스트레스를 완화하는지에 대한 연구하였다. 배지로 누출된 LDH의 정량실험에 의하면 루이보스는 정상산소환경 및 저산소증에서 함량 의존적으로(10-100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 각각 6-18% 및 2-24%의 세포생존율을 증가시켰다(16 DIV 세포, 처리 후 3일째). CFP-Hsc70 단백질을 표현시킨 신경세포의 모양을 관찰하였을때 루이보스(50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)는 저산소처리 후 5일에 세포체에 수포가 있는 세포의 수를 대조군(55.4$\pm$4.59%)에 비하여 유의하게 감소시켰다(40.9$\pm$6.3%). 이러한 결과들은 루이보스차가 저산소증에서 신경세포를 보호함을 의미하며, 신경세포 손상을 예방 또는 치료하는데 응용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) (RB) is a leguminous shrub native to the mountainous areas of the northwestern Cape Province in South Africa. RB tea infusions are the fermentation products of its leaves and fine sterns, and known to have a high antioxidative activity due to the presence of flavonoids and phenolic acids. We investigated the effects of RB tea on the alleviation of oxidative stress on cultured rat cortical neurons in a hypoxic model. Measurement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released into culture media revealed that RB increased cell viabilities in both normoxia (6-18%) and hypoxia (2-24%) dose-dependently (10-100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) on 16 days in vitro (3 days after treatment). Visualization of cell morphology by expression of GFP-Hsc70 fusion protein showed that RB (50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) reduced the average vacuolated soma from 55.4$\pm$4.59% (no RB addition) to 40.9$\pm$6.3% (RB addition) on 5 days after hypoxia. Our results proves efficacy of RB in the neuroprotection of hypoxic neurons and extend application for RB into the prevention and/or treatment of neuronal damages.
