Abstract

To develop Corni Fructus as a cancer preventive food material, the in vitro cytotoxicities and in vivo antitumor activities of various concentrations of 80% Corni Fructus ethanol extract (CFEE) were investigated using sarcoma-180 cancer cell. Viability was decreased and cell death rate was increased in both dose- and time-dependent manners in cells treated with CFEE at 10, 100, 300, and $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentrations for 24, 48, and 72 hr. Proliferation was also inhibited more than 60% in cells treated with CFEE at the $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration for 48 hr. In addition, the morphology of cells treated with CFEE at the 100 and $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentrations was distorted with shrunken cell masses and lower cell numbers compared to the control cells. In the cells treated with CFEE, the formation of apoptotic bodies and nuclear condensation were observed in dose dependent manners. CFEE also increased DNA fragmentation values at the 100 and $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentrations. The apoptosis induced by CFEE was connected to the proteolytic activation of caspase-3. When CFEE was administered at 100 and 300 mg/kg, ip, for 7 consecutive days in mice inoculated with sarcoma-180 cancer cell, the life span of the mice was found to be longer than that of the control mice that did not receive the extract. These results suggest that Corni Fructus may be used as a potential cancer preventive food material.

산수유를 항암 식품 소재로 활용하기 위하여 sarcoma-180 암세포에 대한 산수유 에탄올 추출물의 증식 억제 및 마우스에서의 수명 연장효과를 검토하였다. 산수유 에탄올 추출물을 10, 100, 300 및 $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 24, 48 및 72시간 별로 sarcoma-180 암세포에 처리하여 암세포 증식억제 효과를 측정한 결과, 농도 및 시간 의존적으로 억제하였으며, $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 48시간 배양 시 60% 이상의 높은 암세포 증식 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 산수유 에탄올 추출물을 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도 이상으로 처리한 암세포에서는 대조군의 증식이 감소되었으며, 형태학적 변화도 관찰되었다. 또한 산수유 에탄올 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 핵을 응축하고 apoptotic bodies를 생성하였으며, 300 및 $500\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서는 DNA fragmentation을 유도하였고 이러한 apoptosis 유도는 caspase-3 활성과 관련이 있었다. 산수유 에탄올 추출물을 sarcoma-180 암세포가 접종된 마우스 복강에 7일간 100 및 300 mg/kg/day의 농도로 연속적으로 투여하였을 때, 산수유 투여군의 수명이 대조군에 비하여 증가되었다. 따라서 이 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 산수유는 암 예방 기능성 소재로서 활용이 가능하리라 생각된다.
