Abstract

Myogenesis is the formation process of multinucleated myofiber with a contractile capacity from muscle satellite cell (MSCs) during life. This process is tightly controlled by several transcription factors such as Pax3 and Pax7 (paired box protein 3 and 7), MEF2C (myocyte enhancer factor 2) and MRFs (myogenic regulatory factors) etc. On the contrary, myostatin (MSTN) is a transforming growth factor-${\beta}$ superfamily, which functions as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle development and growth. Carnosic acid (CA) is a major phenolic component in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and have been reported various biological activities such as anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and therapeutic agents for amnesia, dementia, alzheimer's disease. This study was confirmed to effects of CA on muscle cell line and muscle tissue alteration of zebrafish by intramuscular injection or feeding methods. $10{\mu}M$ CA showed a non-cytotoxic on myoblast and a complete inhibition effect against myostatin activity on luciferase assay. In intramuscular injection experiment, the total protein and triglyceride amount of $10{\mu}M/kg$ of CA injected group increased by 11% and decreased by 13% compared to these of the no injected group. In histology analysis of muscle tissues by hematoxylin/eosin staining, the number of muscle fiber of $10{\mu}M/kg$ of CA injected group decreased by 29% and fiber area increased 40% compared to these of no injected group. In feeding experiment, the total protein and triglyceride amount no significance difference compared to these of the normal feeding group. In histology analysis, the number of muscle fiber of 1% CA fed group decreased by 35% and fiber area increased 56% compared to these of normal fed group. We identified that CA have an effect on hypertrophy of muscle fiber in adult zebrafish and the results of this study are considered as the basic data that can reveal the mechanisms of muscle formation via gene and protein level analysis.

로즈마리의 주요 성분인 carnosic acid는 carnosol, rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid 등과 같은 폴리페놀의 한 성분으로 다양한 생리활성 기능이 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 로즈마리 유래 폴리페놀인 carnosic acid가 제브라피쉬 근육성장에 미치는 영향을 근육 내 주사와 사료를 통해서 확인해 보았다. 근육 내 주사 실험을 통해서 CA는 제브라 피쉬의 근육 내 단백질 함량을 증가시키고 중성지방의 함량을 감소시켰다. 또한 조직학적 분석 결과 근섬유의 평균 면적이 커지는 근섬유의 과비대 효과를 나타내었다. 사료 실험 결과 근육 내 단백질 및 중성지방의 함량에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며 조직학적 분석 결과 근육 내 주사 실험에서와 마찬가지로 근 섬유의 과비대를 유도하였다.
