Abstract

Purpose: Many studies have suggested that neuronal cells protect against oxidative stress-induced apoptotic cell death by polyphenolic compounds. We investigated the neuroprotective effects and the mechanism of action of Momordica charantia ethanol extract (MCE) against $H_2O_2-induced$ cell death of human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells. Methods: The antioxidant activity of MCE was measured by the quantity of total phenolic acid compounds (TPC), quantity of total flavonoid compounds (TFC), and 2,2-Diphenyl-1-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Cytotoxicity and cell viability were determined by CCK-8 assay. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured using 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA) assay. Antioxidant enzyme (SOD-1,2 and GPx-1) expression was determined by real-time PCR. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway and apoptosis signal expression was measured by Western blotting. Results: The TPC and TFC quantities of MCE were 28.51 mg gallic acid equivalents/extract g and 3.95 mg catechin equivalents/extract g, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value for DPPH radical scavenging activity was $506.95{\mu}g/ml$ for MCE. Pre-treatment with MCE showed protective effects against $H_2O_2-induced$ cell death and inhibited ROS generation by oxidative stress. SOD-1,2 and GPx-1 mRNA expression was recovered by pre-treatment with MCE compared with the presence of $H_2O_2$. Pre-treatment with MCE inhibited phosphorylation of p38 and the JNK pathway and down-regulated cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP by $H_2O_2$. Conclusion: The neuroprotective effects of MCE in terms of recovery of antioxidant enzyme gene expression, down-regulation of MAPK pathways, and inhibition apoptosis is associated with reduced oxidative stress in SK-N-MC cells.

건 여주로부터 얻은 70%에탄올 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하고, $H_2O_2$에 의해 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 신경세포 보호효과를 알아보기 위해 human neuroblastoma cell인 SK-N-MC세포를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 여주 추출물의 총 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 28.51 mg gallic acid/extract g과 3.95 mg catechin/extract g 이었고, 추출물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능 ($IC_{50}$)은 $506.95{\mu}g/ml$ 이었다. 여주추출물을 신경세포에 전 처리한 후 $H_2O_2$을 처리하여 산화적 스트레스를 유도했을 때, 여주추출물에 의해 세포생존율은 증가되었고 세포내 ROS는 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 세포내 항산화 방어시스템인 항산화효소 (SOD-1,2와 GPx-1)의 mRNA 발현이 여주추출물 처리에 의해 control 수준으로 회복되거나 control 보다 증가되는 결과를 보였으며, ROS 의존적 세포사멸과 연관 있는 것으로 알려진 MAPK pathway 중 p38과 JNK의 인산화를 여주추출물이 억제하였다. 또한 cleaved caspase-3와 cleaved PARP의 발현도 여주추출물의 처리에 의해 감소되었다. 본 연구 결과에서 70% 에탄올 여주추출물은 항산화효능이 우수하여 ROS를 직접적으로 제거할 뿐 아니라 세포내 ROS 축적을 억제시키는 효과를 보여주었다. 그리고 신경세포 내 항산화효소들의 발현 증가 기전과 p38, JNK의 인산화 억제 및 cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP의 발현 억제를 통한 세포사멸 억제 기전을 통해 산화적 스트레스로부터 신경세포를 보호하는 효과가 있음을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 여주추출물은 산화적 스트레스에 의한 알츠하이머병이나 파킨슨병 등과 같은 신경변성질환 (neurodegenerative disease)에 대한 예방 및 치료제의 소재로써 이용가치가 충분한 것으로 사료된다.
