Abstract

This study was done to investigate the effects of n-3, n-6 fatty acid and d-limonene on the hepatic membrane lipid composition, protein kinase C (PKC) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities in experimental rat hepatocarcinogenesis. Sprague-Dawley female rats were fed with two different types of dietary oil for 20 weeks. Corn oil (CO) and sardine oil (SO) were used at 15% by weight as a source of n-6 and n-3 fatty acid, respectively. One week after feeding, rats were intraperitoneally injected twice with a dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN, 50 mg/kg body weight) and after 1 week 0.05% phenobarbital (PB) was provided with drinking water. Membrane fractional lipid composition showed that the content of cholesterol was higher in 50 group than CO group and also significantly decreased by d-limonene. The content of phospholipid was increased by carcinogen treatment but not affected by dietary oils or d-limonene. Membrane C/PL molar ratio was significantly decreased by d-limonene or carcinogen treatment in 50 groups but not in CO groups. Fatty acid composition was changed by dietary oils but not by carcinogen treatment or d-limonene. Cytosolic PKC activity was not significantly different by dietary oils, d-limonene or carcinogen treatment. However, membrane PKC activity was significantly increased by carcinogen treatment and decreased by d-limonene. Cytosolic GST activity was affected by d-limonene or carcinogen treatment in all dietary groups. These data indicate that dietary oils, d-limonene and carcinogen treatment can not change much membrane phospholipid composition. But membrane C/PL molar ratio was changed by carcinogen treatment and d -limonene although the effect was different between dietary oils. Therefore, it is suggested that different dietary oils and d-limonene can somewhat modulate the changes of membrane fluidity and activities of membrane bound enzymes like membrane associated PKC during carcinogenesis.

본 연구는 우리나라에서 발병률이 높은 간암의 발생과정에서 정어리유와 d-limonene의 섭취가 미치는 영향을 세포막 지질조성 및 PKC활성도를 통해 조사하여 이들의 항암 작용관련 기전을 규명 하고자 하였다. 따라서 이유된 흰쥐를 지방산 조성이 아주 다른 옥수수유, 정어리유를 15% 수준으로 공급하고 d-limonene 섭취군은 5%수준으로 공급하여 실험군에서는 발암물질인 DEN을 2회 복강 주사하고 PB를 물에 섞어 주어 20주간 사육하여 membrane fraction의 지방산 조성 및 지질의 조성, glutathione-S-transferase, PKC 활성도를 조사하여 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 간 세포막의 콜레스테롤과 인지질 함량에 대한 C/PL ratio는 옥수수유군에서 발암물질 투여나 d-limonene의 섭취에 따른 효과가 없었으나 정어리 유군에서는 발암물질 투여시, d-limonene 섭취시 유의적인 감소를 나타내어 식이지방의 종류에 따라 발암물질과 d-limonene의 작용이 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. Membrane fraction의 인지질 조성은 CL을 제외한 PE, PI, PG, PC, PS와 PE/PC ratio등 모두에 있어서 식이지방의 종류, 발암물질의 투여, d-liomnene섭취에 따른 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 세포막의 지방산 조성을 나타내는 n-6/n-3 ratio가 정어리유군에서 옥수수유군보다 유의적으로 낮았고, 옥수수유군에서는 발암물질 투여나 d-limonene의 섭취에 따라 유의적으로 증가했으나 정어리유군에서는 발암물질과 d-limonene에 의한 차이가 없었다. Cytosolic PKC의 활성은 식이지방의 종류와 발암물질 투여에 따른 차이는 없었고, d-limonene의 섭 취에 따라 유의적 감소를 나타냈으며, 막부착 PKC의 활성은 옥수수유군에서 유의적으로 높았고, d-limonene 섭취에 따라 감소 경향을 발암물질 투여에 따라서는 증가 경향을 보였으나 유의적인 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. GST활성은 식이 지방의 종류에 따른 차이는 없었으나 발암물질 투여와 d-limonene 섭취에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 발암물질과 d-limonene을 같이 공급시에 더욱 더 유의적으로 증가하였다. 이상의 실험 결과를 종합에 보면 암화과정에 일어나는 지방의 대사가 식이지방의 종류에 따라 차이를 보이며, 특히 정어리유군에서 d-limonene에 의한 C/PL ratio가 감소하여 막 유동성에 변화를 초래하고, 이에 따라 membrane bound enzyme의 활성에 변화를 가져오는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 식이지방의 종류가 암의 발생에 미치는 영향이 다르고, 막부착 PKC 활성도를 감소시켜 발암을 억제하는 효과가 있으며, 이 효과는 지방의 종류에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 최근 n-3 지방산이나 d-limonene이 PKC expression을 감소시키고, apopotosis 촉진 단백질의 발현을 증가시켜 tumor cell의 apoptosis를 증가시킨다고 하여 n-3 지방산과 d-limonene의 또 다른 발암억제기전을 설명하고 있다. 그러나 n-3 지방산과 d-limonene의 상호효과에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이므로 d-limonene과 n-3 지방산의 교호작용에 의한 발암억제 기전에 대해서는 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 하겠다.
