초록
우리는 이전실험에서 배양세포를 사용하여 4종류의 천연물(Corydaline, (${\pm}$)-Car-3-ene-2,5-dione, Cinobufagin, Corilagin)이 ERAP1와 FOXO1 (DFA16) 유전자발현을 2배 이상 상승시키는 것을 증명하였다. 본 실험은 1% agar, 5% sucrose, natural compound $20{\mu}l$를 넣은 먹이를 만들어 4시간 starvation후에 4시간 동안 먹였다. Cinobufagin와 Corilagin를 먹이면 대조군에 비하여 6-8일 정도 더 생존하였다. RT-PCR 실험결과 ERAP1와 FOXO1 유전자 발현을 조절하는 것이 증명되었다. 산업곤충질병 진단과 치료에 사용될 것이며, 초파리를 대신한 생쥐에서도 동일한 결과를 실험하여 수명연장을 위한 신약으로 발전시킬 것이다.
A previous study demonstrated that four kinds of natural compounds, Corydaline, (${\pm}$)-Car-3-ene-2,5-dione, cinobufagin, and corilagin, enhanced the gene expression of ERAP1 and FOXO1 (DFA16) more than two-fold in a cell culture system. In this study, the experimental food was made finally 30 ml in which included 1% agar, 5% sucrose, and each natural compound $20{\mu}l$. A fruit fly of Drosophila melanogaster fed a natural product for 4 hr after 4 hr starvation. Both natural compounds of Cinobufagin and Corilagin induced 6-8 days more survival comparing than it controls group. The resulting fruit flies were estimated the gene expression of ERAP1 and FOXO1 by RT-PCR that also demonstrated meaningful results with the same lifespan results. Cinobufagin from BufonisVenennumis has $C_{26}H_{34}O_6$ molecular formula and 442 kDa molecular weight. Corilagin from Euphorbiapekinensisis has $C_{27}H_{22}O_{18}$ molecular formula and 634 kDa molecular weight. The two types of natural products screened in this study will be used in the early diagnosis and treatment of insect industry in the near future. In addition, the natural products will be used in longevity experiments in a mouse model. The results may give one of the clues for studying new drug development candidates of the longevity.
