Abstract

Purpose: Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) is known to have effective antimicrobial and anticancer activity. The main bioactive components of PG are saponins, and these could contribute to anti-inflammatory activity. However, little is known about the anti-inflammatory effect of PG. In this study, we aim to assess the anti-inflammatory response to Red PG Extract (RPGE) in splenocytes under ex vivo conditions. Methods: The cell viability of isolated splenocytes taken from mice was analyzed by performing a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The productions of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines (specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10)) were measured utilizing Griess reagent and ELISA, respectively. Results: We found that co-treatment with RPGE and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) decreased isolated splenocyte proliferation as compared with that of the LPS-stimulated control. We also observed that RPGE markedly suppressed NO synthesis and IL-6 production that was induced by LPS. There were no significant differences of IL-10 production between co-treatment with RPGE plus LPS and treatment with LPS alone. Conclusion: When taken together, our data has shown that RPGE mitigates LPS-induced inflammation in splenocytes isolated from mice. Further research is surely needed to confirm the anti-inflammation effects of RPGE in an in vivo model.

본 연구에서는 LPS로 활성화된 마우스 비장세포에서 Platycodin D가 함유된 홍도라지 추출물의 항염증 효능을 알아보기 위하여 비장세포 증식능과 NO 생성 및 염증 관련 사이토카인을 측정하였다. 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 마우스 비장세포에 $1{\mu}g/mL$ 농도의 LPS를 처리하였을 때 비장세포의 증식능이 3배 이상 증가하였으며 홍도라지 추출물 처리 시 증가 된 증식능이 유의하게 감소되었다. 2. 마우스 비장세포에 $1{\mu}g/mL$ 농도의 LPS를 처리하였을 때 비장세포의 NO생성이 증가하였으며, 홍도라지 추출물 처리 시 농도 의존적으로 증가 된 NO생성이 줄어들었다. 3. 마우스 비장세포에 $1{\mu}g/mL$ 농도의 LPS를 처리하였을 때 염증관련 사이토카인 IL-6와 항염증 사이토카인 IL-10 분비가 증가되었으며, 홍도라지 추출물 처리 시 농도 의존적으로 증가 된 IL-6의 분비가 감소되었다. IL-10 분비에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 위의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 본 연구는 홍도라지 추출물이 ex vivo 실험을 통해 항염증관련 인자들의 조절을 통하여 과민면역반응을 효과적으로 억제한다는 근거를 확인하였다. 이에 동물실험과 인체적용시험을 통해 홍도라지 추출물의 과민면역반응 억제 효능에 관한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
