Abstract

This study investigated the effects of scopoletin (6-methoxy-7-hydroxycoumarin) supplementation on insulin resistance and the antioxidant defense system in chronic alcohol-fed rats. Rats were fed a Lieber-Decarli liquid diet containing 5% ethanol with or without two doses of scopoletin (0.01 and 0.05 g/L) for 8 weeks. Pair-fed rats received an isocaloric carbohydrate liquid diet. Chronic alcohol did not affect fasting serum glucose levels, although it induced glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia compared with the pair-fed group and led to insulin resistance. Both doses of scopoletin similarly improved glucose intolerance, serum insulin level, and insulin resistance. Scopoletin supplementation significantly activated phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase, which was inhibited by chronic alcohol. Two doses of scopoletin up-regulated hepatic mRNA expression and activity of glucokinase as well as down-regulated mRNA expression and activity of glucose-6-phosphatase compared with the alcohol control group. Both doses of scopoletin significantly reduced cytochrome P450 2E1 activity and elevated aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 activity, resulting in a lower serum acetaldehyde level compared with the alcohol control group. Chronic alcohol suppressed hepatic mRNA expression and activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase; however, they were reversed by scopoletin supplementation, which reduced hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxide levels in the liver. These results indicate that dietary scopoletin attenuated chronic alcohol-induced insulin resistance and activated the antioxidant defense system through regulation of hepatic gene expression in glucose and antioxidant metabolism.

본 연구는 scopoletin 식이 보충이 알코올로 인해 유발되는 인슐린저항성과 항산화방어계에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 하였다. 실험동물은 4주령의 수컷 SD계 흰쥐에게 총 열량의 36%에 해당하는 알코올을 액체식이 형태로 8주간 공급하였으며, scopoletin은 알코올 액체식이 리터당 0.01 g과 0.05 g 두 수준으로 첨가하였다. 정상군은 알코올대조군과 동량의 에너지를 섭취하도록 하였다. 8주간의 알코올 급여는 공복 시 혈당 변화를 일으키지 않았으나 혈청 인슐린 함량을 증가시켰으며, 이는 인슐린저항성과 내당능 장애를 유발하였다. 그러나 scopoletin 저농도와 고농도 급여군 모두 인슐린 함량, 인슐린저항성 지표 및 내당능을 효과적으로 개선하는 것으로 나타났다. 알코올대조군은 p-PI3K의 단백질 발현을 유의적으로 낮추어 glucokinase 유전자 발현과 활성을 억제한 반면, 당신생 효소인 glucose-6-phosphatase의 유전자 발현과 활성을 유의적으로 높였다. 그러나 scopoletin 급여에 의하여 이들 변화는 완화되었다. 다른 당신생 효소인 phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase의 유전자 발현과 활성에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 scopoletin 급여군 모두 간조직의 aldehyde dehydrogenase의 활성은 알코올 대조군에 비해 증가된 반면, cytochrome P450 2E1 활성은 억제되었다. 또한 알코올로 인하여 낮아진 간조직 중의 항산화 효소(superoxide dismutase, catalase와 glutathione peroxidase)의 유전자 발현과 활성을 높임으로써 과산화수소 및 지질과산화물의 함량을 낮추었다. 이와 같이 0.001%의 scopoletin 급여량에서도 당대사의 유전자 변화를 통하여 만성 알코올로 유도되는 인슐린저항성을 개선하였으며, 알코올대사계 활성 및 항산화방어계 효소의 유전자 발현을 증가함으로써 알코올로 인한 과산화수소와 지질과산화물 생성을 개선하는 것으로 나타났다.
