Abstract

The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), a cyclic hypothalamic peptide composed of 17 amino acids, was initially identified in chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) as a regulator of pigmentation. Mammalian MCHs are cyclic hypothalamic peptides composed of 19 amino acids that regulate food intake and energy homeostasis. The present study examined not only MCH expression of different tissues but also the melanohore aggregation and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ influx of fMCH and the other MCH. Real-time qPCR showed that MCH expressed specially in the brain, gonad, and ovary, and expression of MCH was observed during the developmental stages. In the application of synthetic fMCH and both types of synthetic fMCH, dN-fMCH and dC-fMCH, scale melanophore induced significant changes in aggregation activity with various concentrations of MCH. Also, compared to hMCH and sMCH, fMCH exhibited a 36~99.85% increase in relative potency (%), whereas aggregation of dN-fMCH and dC-fMCH remained in a high concentration. However, dispersion was induced rapidly according to be low concentration of dN-fMCH and dC-fMCH. We show that fMCH and its derivates were bound human MCHR1 and rat MCHR expressed in HEK293T cells with nano-molar affinity and are likely to be ligand-induced to mobilize intracellular $Ca^{2+}$. These results may provide new ligands for binding assay with MCHew ligands, as a structure similar to the mammalian MCH structure was discovered in fish. Once the fMCH receptor system is in place, it can be compared to the MCH system of mammals in terms of MCH function.

멜라닌 농축 호르몬(melanin-concentrating hormone, MCH)은 17개의 아미노산으로 구성된 환형의 시상하부 펩티드로 색소 침착의 조절인자로서 연어에서 처음 분리되었다. 포유동물의 MCH는 19개의 아미노산으로 구성되어 있으며 섭식 및 에너지 항상성을 조절하는데 관여한다. 본 연구에서는 양식넙치의 다양한 조직에서 MCH 유전자의 발현 분포, 멜라닌 함유 세포의 집적, 포유동물 MCH 수용체와 양식넙치 MCH의 상호작용을 조사하였다. Real-time qPCR을 이용하여 뇌, 정소, 난소에서 MCH 유전자의 발현이 나타나는 것을 확인하였고, 수정 후 발달 단계에서도 MCH 유전자의 발현을 확인할 수 있었다. 합성된 연어 sMCH, 포유류 hMCH, 양식넙치 fMCH, dN-fMCH, dC-fMCH를 양식 넙치의 표피에 처리했을 때 다양한 농도에 따라 멜라닌 함유 세포의 집적이 다양하게 나타났다. 연어 sMCH, 포유류 hMCH에 비해 양식넙치 fMCH의 멜라닌 함유세포의 집적도가 36~99.85%로 비역가를 나타났으나 양식넙치 dN-fMCH, dC-fMCH를 처리한 경우 양식넙치 fMCH에 비해 높은 농도에서 집적이 나타나고 짧은 시간에 분산되었다. 또한, 인간 MCH 수용체와 쥐 MCH 수용체가 발현된 포유동물의 세포주에 양식넙치 fMCH를 처리하여 각 수용체와 결합하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 어류에서 발현되는 MCH가 포유동물의 MCH와 유사한 구조를 가지고 있어 MCH 수용체에 대한 새로운 리간드로서 제공될 수 있으며, 향후 어류의 MCH 수용체에 확대 적용할 수 있을 것이다.
