Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Pueraria lobate-root based combination supplementation containing Rehmannia glutinosa and exercise on histone modification in ovariectomized rat hindlimb skeletal muscle. Sixty rats were fed with high fat diet and randomly assigned into the following groups for 8 weeks: 1)HSV; High fat+Sedentary+Vehicle, 2)HSP; High fat+Sedentary+PR, 3)HSH; High fat+Sedentary+Estradiol, 4)HEV; High fat+Ex+Vehicle, 5)HEP; High fat+Ex+PR, 6)HEH; High fat+Ex+Estradiol. Exercise consisted of low intensity treadmill exercise(1-4th wk:15 m/min for 30 min, 5-8th wk: 18 m/min for 40 min, 5 times/week). The result of this study showed that exercise and Pueraria and Rehmannia glutinosa intake suppressed weight gain. Furthermore, exercise and Pueraria and Rehmannia glutinosa intake increased muscle mass. This study observed H3K9 acetylation and demethylation in plantaris muscle in exercised group, but no difference in soleus muscle. To test whether the decrease in HDAC4, HDAC5 and G9a mRNA levels after exercise and Pueraria/Rehmannia glutinosa intake, HDAC4, HDAC5 and G9a mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR. Only exercise induced HDAC5 and G9a mRNA reduction in plantaris muscle, but not in soleus muscle. In conclusion, these data demonstrates that exercise and Pueraria/Rehmannia glutinosa intake effect on body compositions. These changes are regulated by epigenetic modifications, such as histone acetylation and methylation. Future studies should focus on gene-specific epigenetics and other epigenetic mechanism for Pueraria/Rehmannia glutinosa intake.

본 연구는 난소 제거 수술을 시행하여 폐경기를 유도시킨 뒤 고지방 식이를 섭취한 쥐에게서 나타난 신체 변화에 있어 운동과 갈근/지황 섭취에 의한 개선 효과를 관찰하고, 그러한 효과가 골격근에서의 후성 유전적 발현 변화에 의한 것임을 규명하고자 하였다. 8주령의 쥐(rat, n=60)의 난소를 제거한 뒤 고지방 식이를 유도하면서 트레드밀 운동(exercise)을 실시하는 그룹과 비운동(sedentary) 그룹으로 나누었다. 두 그룹을 각각 estradiol, 갈근과 지황의 3:1 복합물(HT051), 그리고 물 섭취 군으로 다시 나누어 총 8주간 경구 투여를 함께 실시하였다. 그 결과 운동 그룹과 갈근/지황 섭취 그룹에서 체중이 유의하게 감소하였고, 가자미근과 족저근의 근질량 또한 운동 그룹과 갈근/지황 섭취 그룹에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 한편, 가자미근에서 물을 섭취하며 운동하지 않은 그룹의 H3K9 아세틸화가 억제 되었고 H3K9의 메틸화에는 변화가 없었다. 족저근의 경우 운동 그룹에서 H3K9 아세틸화가 현저하게 눈에 띄었고, 반대로 메틸화는 줄어든 것이 관찰되었다. 나아가 H3K9의 아세틸화와 메틸화를 조절하는 대표적인 효소 중 HDAC4, HDAC5, G9a 유전자의 mRNA 발현양을 정량한 결과, 가자미근에서는 모두 유의한 차이가 없었고 족저근에서 운동 한 그룹의 HDAC5와 G9a 유전자의 mRNA 발현양이 유의하게 감소하였지만 HDAC4의 mRNA는 차이가 없었다. 또한 운동과 갈근/지황의 상호작용 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구를 통하여 운동과 갈근/지황 섭취가 체중 감소, 근질량 증가에 영향을 미치고, 이러한 현상은 히스톤 H3K9 부분의 아세틸화와 메틸화에 의한 유전자 발현 조절이 그 기전으로 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
