Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess changes in neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunoreactivity in the hypothalamus and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the small intestine of rats fed high-fat diets (HFD). Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (200~250 g body weight) were randomly divided into two groups, which were the control group (normal chow diet for 6 weeks), and the HFD group (rodent diet with 60% kcal fat for 6 weeks). The immunoreactivity of NPY in the hypothalamus and ICC in the small intestine was evaluated after every feed for 6 weeks. Results: NPY immunoreactivity was observed strongly in the hypothalamic nuclei in the HFD group compared to the control group. The numbers of NPY-immunoreactive (IR) cells were significantly higher in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus in the HFD group than in the control group. In the region of Auerbach's plexus (AP) of small intestine, the staining intensity of the ICC-IR cells was reduced in the HFD group compared to the control group. The numbers of ICC in the small intestine with HFD, including ICC in the inner circular and outer longitudinal muscle were significantly lower than in the control group. Conclusion: This study suggested that increasing NPY-IR cells in the hypothalamus may reflect resistance of NPY action after a HFD, and decreasing ICC-IR cells in the small intestine after a HFD is functionally significant in gastrointestinal motility.

목 적: 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐에서 식이 유발인자인 NPY와 장내 운동 조절인자인 Cajal 간질세포의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 동일 연령의 Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐를 임의로 대조군(7마리)과 고지방식이군(7마리)으로 분리한 후, 대조군에는 일반 흰쥐 사료를 충분히 섭취시켰으며, 고지방식이군에게는 60% kcal 지방이 포함된 사료(중앙실험동물센터)를 6주 동안 물과 함께 충분히 섭취하도록 하였다. 6주 후 시상하부 조직 절편에 rabbit polyclonal NPY (1 : 1000, Abcam)항체를 반응시키고, 소장의 조직 절편에 rabbit polyclonal c-kit (1 : 400, Neuromics)항체를 반응시켜서 면역조직화학 검사를 시행하였다. 결 과: 고지방식이군의 시상하부에서 NPY의 면역 반응성이 강하게 나타났으며, 특히 PVN에서 NPY의 면역 반응 세포수의 증가를 관찰할 수 있었다. 고지방식이군에서 소장의 Auerbach's plexus 부위의 Cajal 간질 세포의 면역 반응성이 떨어졌으며, 환상근과 종주근 내 Cajal 간질 세포 수도 현저히 감소하였다. 결 론: 고지방식이를 섭취한 흰쥐에서 시상하부 NPY 면역반응 신경세포수와 발현의 증가는 NPY의 저항성과 관련되며, 소장에서 Cajal 간질 세포의 감소는 장운동의 이상을 초래할 수 있음을 나타낸다.
