Abstract

Malus melliana (Hand.-Mazz.) Rehder (M. melliana) is a Chinese plant that belongs to the Rosaceae family. There have been no previous reports regarding its bioactivity. In this study, the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of M. melliana ethanol extract (MMEE) were evaluated using a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity assay, nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity assay, and the analysis of related protein expressions through Western blot hybridization. MMEE showed potent scavenging activity against DPPH, similar to ascorbic acid, a well-known anti-oxidative agent, which was used as a positive control. MMEE also inhibited hydrogen peroxide-induced ROS in RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, MMEE induced the expression of an anti-oxidative enzyme, heme oxygenase 1, and its upstream transcription factor, nuclear factor E2-related factor-2, in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, MMEE was associated with a reduction in NO production, which was induced by the lipopolysaccharide treatment of RAW 264.7 cells. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, which is the upstream regulator of NO production, was also inhibited. Taken together, these results suggest that MMEE has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, thus appearing to be a potential anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. The further identification of active compounds that confer the biological activities of MMEE may be necessary.

Malus melliana (Hand.-Mazz.) Rehder (M. melliana)는 장미과에 속하는 중국 자생 식물 중 하나로 현재까지 보고된 생리활성은 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 M. melliana 에탄올 추출물(MMEE)의 항산화 및 항염증 생리활성을 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ROS 소거능, NO 생성 저해능 및 Western blot hybridization을 통한 연관 단백질 발현분석을 통해 평가하였다. MMEE의 항산화능을 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 통해 분석한 결과 양성 대조군으로 사용한 대표적인 항산화제인 아스코르빈산과 유사한 정도의 높은 소거활성을 보여 MMEE가 매우 강한 항산화능을 보유함을 확인하였다. 또한 RAW 264.7 세포주에서 $H_2O_2$에 의해 유도된 ROS에 대한 MMEE의 소거능을 분석한 결과, 농도의존적인 강한 ROS 소거능을 보였다. 뿐만 아니라 대표적인 항산화 효소인 HO-1 및 그 전사 인자인 Nrf2의 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 MMEE에 의해 HO-1 및 Nrf2의 발현이 증가됨을 보였다. 한편 MMEE가 LPS에 의해 유도된 NO 생성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 농도의존적인 NO 생성 저해능을 보였으며 이는 NO 생성 단백질인 iNOS의 발현 저해에서 기인함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 MMEE의 높은 항산화능과 항염증 활성을 확인하였으며 향후 잠재적인 기능성 소재로서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 계속적인 연구를 통해 활성 물질의 규명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
