동맥경화증은 중년기나 노년기에만 나타나며 발생하는 것으로 일반에게 알려져 있으나, 실제로 동맥내막에 지방질, 특히 콜레스테롤의 침착은 어릴 때부터 시작되며 중년기나 노년기에는 동맥경화증의 합병증인 심장병이나 뇌졸중이 발생하는 것으로 생각되어 동맥경화증에 대한 예방은 어릴 때부터 시작하여야 한다.

혈관의 안쪽 막인 내막에 콜레스테롤이 침착하고 세포 증식이 일어나면 죽종이라는 것이 만들어진다. 내부는 죽처럼 물러지고 그 주위는 단단한 섬유성 막인 경화반으로 둘러싸이게 되는데, 이를 죽상경화라고 한다. 이렇게 불안정한 경화반이 파열되어 혈관 안에 혈전이 생기고 혈관이 급격하게 좁아지거나 막히는 현상을 죽상동맥경화증이라고 한다. 죽상 동맥경화증은 질병으로 나타나기 전까지는 증상이 없으므로 예방이 중요하다.

Atherosclerosis, a disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide, is a chronic inflammatory disease that is a major cause of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Atherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid deposits in the arteries, forming atheromas. This leads to the narrowing of the arteries and thrombosis. Recently, the need to develop bio-derived anti-atherosclerotic materials has been highlighted with concerns about the side effects of synthetic therapeutics. Accordingly, related research (such as the discovery of biomaterials for the improvement and treatment of atherosclerosis and the identification of mechanisms) has been actively conducted. Biomaterials including polysaccharides, polyphenols, and coenzyme Q10 have been reported to inhibit or delay symptoms by modulating factors involved in the development of atherosclerosis. For biomaterials with superior activity, in vivo anti-atherosclerotic activity has been confirmed. In this review, the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis was investigated, and the current status and application prospects of biomaterials with anti-atherosclerotic activity were proposed.

당뇨병환자의 주된 사망 원인은 심장병이다. 당뇨병환자는 동맥경화증이 잘 생기고 이와 관련해 협심증, 심근경색증, 말초혈관질환, 뇌졸중이 잘 생기는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그중에서 관상동맥이 동맥경화증에 의해 막혀 생기는 대표적인 심혈관질환이 바로 협심증과 심근경색이다.

In this paper, we propose to evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory properties of root bark extract of Cudrania (C.) tricuspidata on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in macrophages of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout (ApoE^-/-) mice, murine model of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease. C. tricuspidata is a small tree of the Moraceae family and its extract has anti-inflammatory activities. However, its role in the progress of atherosclerosis is not yet clear. To determine anti-inflammatory effects of C. tricuspidata in atherogenesis, we applied LPS in peritoneal macrophages of ApoE^-/- mice and measured cell viability by CCK-8 and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by qRT-PCR following treatment with root bark extract of C. tricuspidata. Research data was expressed as differences between the cells treated with LPS and root bark extract and the cells treated with LPS alone (control) by a two-tailed non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test using GraphPad Instat program. No cytotoxic effect was observed when the cells were treated with the extract at concentrations ≤ 100 ㎍/mL. The expression of inflammatory cytokines, including MCP-1, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-6 were inhibited by the extract. These results indicated that the extract has an anti-inflammatory effect and therefore a possible role in the treatment of atherosclerosis.

The present study was carried out to investigate the preventive effects of lamprey oil and corn oil on atherosclerotic rats induced by oral administration of cholesterol and vitamin $D_2$. The obtaind results were summarized as fellows; 1. The group, fed only the mixture of cholesterol and vitamin $D_2$ showed the significant increase of total lipid, total cholesterol phospholipid, LDL&HDL-cholesterol in the serum, triglyceride and cholesterol in the heart and the aorta, but the significant decrease of triglyceride in the liver, as comparing with normal control group (p<0.05). The aorta showed the severe damage of disorganization, calcification, necrosis and lipid deposition in the aortic wall. 2. The group, adminstered the mixture of cholesterol and vitamin $D_2$ and fed 15% lamprey oil diet, showed the significant decrease of total lipid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, phospholipid and LDL&VLDL-cholesterol in the serum, triglyceride and cholesterol in the heart and the aorta, but the significant increase of cholesterol in the liver, as comparing with atherogenic control group (p<0.05). The aorta showed slight calcification and no lipid deposition in the aortic wall as comparing with atherogenic control group. 3. The group, administerd the mixture of cholesterol and vitamin $D_2$ and fed 15% corn oil diet, showed the decrease of total lipid, triglyceride and VLDL-cholesterol in the serum, and triglyceride in the heart and the aorta, as comparing with atherogenic control group (p<0.05). The aorta showed calcification and no lipid deposition in the aortic wall. In reviewing above results it was concluded that lamprey oil and corn oil in polyunsaturated fatty acids had the preventive effect on atherosclerotic rats induced by cholesterol and vitamin $D_2$. And the effect of lamprey oil in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids was higher than that of corn oil rich in n-6 polyunsturated fatty acids.

본 연구의 목적은 인간의 동맥경화증에서 Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis)와 인체 열충격단백 60의 T-세포 및 교차성 B-세포 epitope를 규명하고 수립된 T-세포주의 T-세포 주요조직적합체 양상을 파악하려는 데 있다. P. gingivalis 열충격단백-반응성 T 세포주와 환자의 혈청을 이용하여 P. gingivalis 열충격단백60 분자를 구성하는 104개의 중복성 합성 펩타이드의 T-세포 epitope과 B-세포 epitope을 규명하였다. 인체 열충격단백60에 대한 B-세포 epitope도 같은 방법으로 파악하였다. P. gingivalis, P. gingivalis 열충격단백60 또는 인체 열충격단백60에 대한 IgG 항체는 모든 동맥경화증 환자에서 상승하였다. P. gingivalis 열충격단백60의 3, 15, 24, 33, 45, 53, 64, 84, 88, 99번 펩타이드가 주요한 T-세포 epitope였고 이것들은 T-세포 및 B-세포 공동 epitope이기도 했다. 또한 인체 열충격단백60 교차반응 B-세포 epitope은 15, 29, 53, 56, 69, 74번 펩타이드로 판명되었다. 대부분 환자의 주요조직적합체는 $HLA-DRB1^{\ast}1504$와 $HLA-DZB1^{\ast}0603$으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 P. gingivalis 열충격단백60은 제 2급 주요조직적합제-제한적으로 분해되고 전달되었으며 이 단백질이 공통적인 T-세포 및 B-세포 epitope를 가지면서 동시에 인체 열충격단백60과 교차성 B-세포 epitope을 가지면서 동맥경화증의 면역조절기능에 관여한다고 볼 수 있다.

당뇨병 환자에서 동맥 경화증은 가장 흔하고 중요한 합병증 중 하나이며 동맥경화증에 의한 관상동맥질환, 뇌혈관 질환 등 대혈관 질환은 당뇨병이 없는 사람보다 그 빈도가 2-4배 높으며 사망률 또한 높고 뇌졸중 중에서도 특히 뇌경색의 빈도가 높다.
