Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the compositions and immuno-enhancing effects of 6-year-old red ginseng powder (RGP) with those of its fractions. RGP was subjected to extraction with 100% ethanol to obtain an ethanol fraction (E) and residue 1 (R1). Then, R1 was subjected to extraction with distilled water to obtain water fraction (W) and residue 2 (R2). Chemical compositions were as follows: 4.94% acidic polysaccharides and 1.56% ginsenosides (amounts of Rg1, Re, Rf, Rg2, Rb1, Rc, Rd, and Rg3) in RGP, 0.11% acidic polysaccharides and 6.99% ginsenosides in E, 4.93% acidic polysaccharides and 0.40% ginsenosides in R1, 0.50% acidic polysaccharides and 0.30% ginsenosides in R2, and 7.46% acidic polysaccharides and 0.61% ginsenosides in W. Immuno-enhancing effects of fractions from RGP were examined based on suppression of immune responses by cyclophosphamide. In the first fraction test, the antibody response to SRBCs increased significantly in the R1-treated group, but not the E-treated group. In the second fraction test, W showed higher immuno-enhancing effect than R1 and R2. W, which contained the highest amount of acidic polysaccharides, restored numbers of T and B cells, macrophages, as well as $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ T cells in the spleen suppressed by cyclophosphamide. These results suggest that acidic polysaccharides from red ginseng may be more effective than saponin in enhancing immune functions and reducing immunotoxicity of cyclophosphamide.

본 연구에서는 홍삼의 면역력 증진에 기여하는 성분을 체계적으로 구명하기 위하여 홍삼분말을 에탄올, 물로 분획하면서 각 분획의 AFCs 형성능 및 Flow cytometery를 이용하여 비장 T 세포수, B 세포수, macrophage 수, $CD4^+$ 및 $CD8^+$ T 세포수를 측정하였다. 6년근 홍삼분말을 100% 에탄올로 추출하여 에탄올 분획과 1차 잔사(R1)를 얻었고, 면역활성이 우수한 1차 잔사(R1)를 물로 추출하여 물분획(W)과 2차 잔사(R2)를 얻었다. 6년근 홍삼분말의 산성 다당체, 진세노사이드 함량은 각각 4.94%, 1.56%이며, 에탄올 분획의 산성 다당체, 진세노사이드 함량은 각각 0.11%, 6.99%, 1차 잔사의 산성 다당체, 진세노사이드 함량은 각각 4.93%, 0.40%였다. 6년근 홍삼분말과 1차 분획에 대한 AFCs 형성능 측정 결과 산성 다당체 함량이 높은 1차 잔사가 가장 우수하였다. 면역활성이 우수한 1차 잔사를 물 추출하여 2차 분획을 얻었으며, 2차 분획의 AFCs 형성능을 측정한 결과 물분획이 가장 우수하였다. 물분획의 산성 다당체, 총 사포닌 함량은 각각 7.46%, 0.61%이며, 다른 분획에 비해 산성 다당체 함량이 가장 높았다. 면역활성이 가장 우수한 물분획을 용량에 따른 비장 세포아형을 분석한 결과 cyclophosphamide 투여에 의해 감소된 비장 총 세포수, T 세포수, B 세포수, macrophage 세포수, $CD4^+$ 및 $CD8^+$ T 세포수가 용량 의존적으로 유의성 있게 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 홍삼의 면역 증진을 나타내는 성분은 사포닌보다는 다당체 함량이 높은 비사포닌계가 활성을 나타낼 것으로 제시되었다. 앞으로 단계별로 분획을 제조하여 면역활성 기능 성분으로서 다당체에 대한 구조를 구명하고 구조에 따른 면역활성 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
