Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the effect of glycyrrhizic acid on smooth muscle contraction and to determine the detailed mechanism incorporated. We hypothesized that glycyrrhizic acid played a role in the agonist-sensitive management of smooth muscle contraction. Stripped smooth muscles of Sprague-Dawley rats were prepared in organ baths and isometric tensions were converted, stored and analyzed by using isometric transducers, a physiograph and one way ANOVA. Interestingly, glycyrrhizic acid attenuated the thick filament regulating agonist (fluoride or thromboxane mimetic)-sensitive contraction (p=0.113, 0.008, 0.004 (Student's t-test), p=0.113, 0.008, 0.004 (One way ANOVA) at 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM fluoride, and p=0.156, 0.004, 0.003 (Student's t-test), p=0.156, 0.004, 0.003 (One way ANOVA) at 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM thromboxane mimetic) and did not attenuate the thin filament regulating agonist (phorbol ester)-induced contraction (p=0.392, 0.086, 0.065 (Student's t-test), p=0.392, 0.086, 0.065 (One way ANOVA) at 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM phorbol ester). It is suggesting that endothelial EDRF (NO) synthesis and accessory pathways besides endothelial EDRF (NO) synthesis such as ROCK restriction might be incorporated in the glycyrrhizic acid-induced modulation of smooth muscle contraction inhibiting acto-myosin interaction.

평활근 수축에 대한 감초산(glycyrrhizic acid)의 효과를 연구하고자 하였고 관련 상세 기전을 결정하기 위해 glycyrrhizic acid가 agonist-sensitive하게 평활근 수축한다는 가설을 제시하였다. S/D rats의 평활근을 수조 내 준비하였고 신호 변환기에서 평활근에 의한 운동 신호가 전기적 신호로 변환되어 생리기록기에 표시되는 데이터는 일원배치 분산분석으로 분석하였다. 재미있게도, 감초산은 불화물, 트롬복산 유사체 등 굵은 미세섬유성 조절성 수축제에 의한 평활근 수축을 중등도로 억제하였고 (농도 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM 불화물에서 p=0.113, 0.008, 0.004 (Student's t-test), p=0.113, 0.008, 0.004 (One way ANOVA), 그리고 0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM 트롬복산 유사체에서 p=0.156, 0.004, 0.003 (Student's t-test), p=0.156, 0.004, 0.003 (One way ANOVA)) 포볼 에스테르 등 가는 미세섬유성 조절성 수축제에 의한 평활근 수축에 대해 효과가 소실되었다 (0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM 포볼 에스테르에서 p=0.392, 0.086, 0.065 (Student's t-test), p=0.392, 0.086, 0.065 (One way ANOVA)). 이러한 결과는 내피 기능이 억제된 평활근에서 감초산은 평활근 내피에서 EDRF (NO) 생성 효과 외에 주로 ROCK 활성 감소 등 평활근에 대한 직접적 효과를 통해 최종적으로 평활근에서 악틴-미오신 상호작용을 제한하여 평활근을 이완시키는 것으로 생각된다.
