Abstract

Activated microglia, induced by various pathogens, protect neurons and maintain homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS). However, severe activation causes neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease because of the secretion of various neurotoxic molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin (PG), and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Because chronic microglial activation endangers neuronal survival, negative regulators of microglial activation have been identified as potential therapeutic candidates for treatment of many neurological diseases. One potential source of these regulators is Locusta migratoria, a grasshopper of the Acrididae, usually 4-6 cm in size, belonging to the family of large insects in Acrididae. This grasshopper is an edible insect resource that can be consumed by humans as protein source or used for animal feed. The aim of the present study was to examine the inhibitory effects of a L. migratoria ethanol extract (LME) on the production of inflammatory mediators in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia cells. The extract significantly inhibited the NO, iNOS, COX-2, and pro-inflammatory cytokine ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$) levels in BV-2 microglia cell. Because the inhibition of microglial activation may be an effective solution for treating brain disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, these results suggest that LME may be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of brain disorders induced by neuroinflammation.

뇌신경 질환의 주요 원인이 되는 것으로 알려진 미세아교세포의 과도한 활성화에 의한 신경염증반응에서 풀무치 에탄올 추출물이 미세아교세포의 염증 반응에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 미세아교세포의 활성화를 유도하기 위해 LPS를 사용하였으며, LPS 처리에 의해 신경염증반응의 지표인 NO의 생성량과 이들을 조절하는 iNOS, COX-2의 발현이 증가됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 풀무치 에탄올 추출물을 1시간 전처리 한 후 LPS를 처리한 경우 추출물의 농도에 의존적으로 이들의 발현량이 현저히 감소되는 것을 확인 하였다. 또한 LPS 처리로 인해 분비되는 염증성 cytokine들의 생성량도 풀무치 에탄올 추출물에 의해 현저히 억제 됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 미세아교세포의 과도한 활성화로 인해 발생되는 뇌 신경질환의 치료 소재로서 풀무치 에탄올 추출물의 활성 가능성을 제시하였다.
