초록

Millettia erythrocalyx는 콩과(Fabaceae)에 속하는 식물로 중국, 태국, 인도 등 열대 아열대 지역에 분포하며, 항바이러스 활성을 보유하고 있다는 보고가 있으나 항산화능과 항암활성 등에 관한 연구는 보고된 바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 M. erythrocalyx의 에탄올 추출물(EEME)을 사용하여 항산화능을 측정하고, 인체간암세포주인 HepG2에 대한 항암활성과 그 분자적 기전에 관하여 분석하였다. 먼저 DPPH radical scavenging activity를 통해 분석한 결과, EEME의 $IC_{50}$$2.74{\mu}g/ml$로 뛰어난 항산화능을 보유하였음을 확인하였다. 또한 EEME 농도 의존적으로 HepG2 세포의 성장을 억제하였다. EEME의 HepG2 세포 사멸 효과의 기전을 분석하기 위하여 세포주기를 분석한 결과, EEME 농도의존적으로 SubG1 세포가 증가하였으며, Annexin V 염색과 DAPI 염색을 통해 apoptotic 세포 및 apoptotic body가 증가됨을 확인하였다. 또한 apoptosis 관련 단백질들의 발현변화를 분석한 결과, EEME 처리에 의해 사멸수용체인 Fas와 pro-apoptotic 단백질인 Bax의 발현이 증가되었으며, caspase-3, -8, -9가 활성화되고 최종적으로 PARP가 분해되어 apoptosis가 유도되었음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들로부터 EEME는 내인성 및 외인성 경로를 통한 apoptosis 유도에 의하여 HepG2 세포의 증식을 억제하는 항암활성을 보유하였음을 확인하였다.

Millettia erythrocalyx, a species of plant in the Fabaceae family, is widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, such as the Indies, China, and Thailand. The antiviral activity of flavonoids from M. erythrocalyx has been reported; however, the antioxidative and anticancer activities of M. erythrocalyx remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidative and anticancer effects of ethanol extract of M. erythrocalyx (EEME) and the molecular mechanism of its anticancer activity in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. EEME exhibited significant antioxidative effects, with a concentration at 50% inhibition ($IC_{50}$) value of $2.74{\mu}g/ml$, as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay; moreover, it inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in HepG2 cells. Cell cycle analyses showed that EEME induced HepG2 cell accumulation in the subG1 phase in a dose-dependent manner. EEME also induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells, with increases in apoptotic cells and apoptotic bodies, as detected by Annexin V and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, respectively. Treatment with EEME resulted in increased expression of First apoptosis signal (Fas), a death receptor, and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), a proapoptotic protein, and the activation of caspase-3, 8, and 9, resulting in the cleavage of poly (Adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Collectively, these results suggest that EEME may exert an anticancer effect in HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.
