Abstract

Global interest in natural functional materials to strengthen human immunity is increasing due to the increase in immune-related diseases associated with COVID-19 and the aging population. In this study, we determined the potential therapeutic effect of Eleutherococcus senticosus stems on immune enhancement according to the cultivation region. The contents of eleutheroside B and E, which are chemical components of E. senticosus stems, were analyzed. We showed that the eleutheroside B content of E. senticosus stems in different cultivation regions ranged from 2.96±0.11 to 6.24±0.05 mg/g and from 1.11±0.05 to 2.11±0.03 mg/g in 70% ethanol and hot water extracts, respectively. The eleutheroside E content ranged from 4.93±0.20 to 10.79±0.03 mg/g and 1.75±0.14 to 3.64±0.05 mg/g in 70% ethanol and hot water extracts, respectively. In addition, the immunomodulatory effect of E. senticosus stems was evaluated using RAW 264.7 macrophages. The 70% ethanol extract of E. senticosus stems showed no cytotoxicity up to 200 ㎍/mL, and the hot water extract showed no cytotoxicity up to 500 ㎍/mL. Additionally, the E. senticosus stem extract significantly increased the production of nitric oxide and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) compared to their production in the control group. These results suggest that E. senticosus stem extracts are a potential functional food material and ingredient to enhance the immune response.

본 연구는 국내산 가시오가피의 건강기능식품 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하기 위해 산지별 채취한 가시오가피의 유효물질 함량 및 면역 증강 효과을 평가하였다. 태백, 철원, 삼척, 강원도 농업기술원에서 수확한 가시오가피의 지표성분인 eleutheroside B 및 eleutheroside E의 분석을 수행하였으며, 면역 증강에 대한 효과를 관찰하기 위하여 MTT 세포독성 평가, NO 생성량과 cytokine 생성량을 측정하였다. 지표성분 eleutheroside B의 함량은 채취 지역별로 70% 에탄올 추출물에서는 2.96±0.11-6.24±0.05 mg/g로 태백에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈으며, 열수 추출물에서는 1.11±0.05-2.11±0.03 mg/g로 태백에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. Eleutheroside E 함량은 채취 지역별로 70% 에탄올 추출물에서는 4.93±0.20-10.79±0.03 mg/g을 나타냈으며 철원에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈고, 열수 추출물에서는 1.75±0.14-3.64±0.05 mg/g로 철원과 농업기술원에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 또한, eleutheroside B 및 E 함량은 열수 추출물보다 70% 에탄올 추출물에서 더 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 채취 지역별 가시오가피의 70% 에탄올 추출물은 50-200 ㎍/mL 농도에서, 열수 추출물은 100-500 ㎍/mL 농도에서 RAW 264.7 대식세포에 대한 세포독성을 나타내지 않았으며, 대식세포의 활성화로 방출되는 NO 성성량을 측정한 결과, 가시오가피 줄기 추출물에서 NO 생성량이 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β을 포함하는 cytokine의 방출을 측정한 결과 유의적인 증가를 나타냈다. 따라서 가시오가피 줄기는 면역 관련 질환의 개선을 위한 건강기능식품 소재로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
