The suppressive effects of Platycodi Radix (Changkil: CK), the root of Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (Campanulaceae), on the progress of acute carbon tetrachloride $(CCl_4)$-induced hepatic fibrosis were investigated in the rat. CK significantly suppressed $(CCl_4)$-induced hepatic necrosis and inflammation, as determined by the serum enzymatic activities of alanine and aspartate aminotransferase and serum tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ levels, in dose-dependent manners. In addition, the increased hepatic fibrosis after acute $(CCl_4)$ treatment was suppressed by the administration of CK. CK also significantly prevented the elevation of hepatic ${\alpha}$ 1(I) procollagen (type I collagen) mRNA and ${\alpha}$ -smooth muscle actin (${\alpha}$ -SMA) expressions in the liver of $(CCl_4)$-intoxicated rats and also suppressed the induction of ${\alpha}$ -SMA and type I collagen in cultured hepatic stellate cells, in dose-dependent manners. These results suggest that the suppressive effects of CK against the progress of acute $(CCl_4)$-induced hepatic fibrosis possibly involve mechanisms related to its ability to block both hepatic inflammation and the activation of hepatic stellate cells.

전통 한의학에서 많이 사용되는 길경(Platycodi radix)은 도라지(Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC)의 뿌리 껍질을 벗기거나 또는 그대로 말린 것을 말하며, 염증성 호흡기 질환에 많이 사용되어져 오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 길경 수용액 추출물의 항암 활성 기전해석의 일환으로 A549 인체 폐암세포의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 길경 추출물의 처리에 의하여 처리 농도 의존적으로 암세포의 성장이 억제되었으며, 이는 apoptosis의 유발과 관련이 있었다. 즉 염색체 응축에 의한 apoptotic body의 출현과 sub-Gl기에 속하는 세포의 빈도가 길경 추출물 처리에 의하여 농도 의존적으로 증가하였다. Immunoblot 및 RT-PCR분석에서 길경 추출물의 처리에 의하여 Bcl-2의 mRNA 및 단백질의 발현은 감소되었으며, Bax의 발현이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 길경 추출물의 처리에 의하여 caspase-3가 활성화되었으며, 이에 따른 PARP 및 $\beta$-catenin의 단백질 발현 감소 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 길경 추출물을 이용한 인체 암세포의 성장억제제의 개발 가능성이 있음을 시사하여 준다.

Platycodi Radix, the root of Platycodon grandiflorum, commonly known as Doraji, is used as a traditional oriental medicine. Extracts from the roots of P. grandiflorum have been reported to have wide ranging health benefits. In the present study, we investigated the effects of an aqueous extract from the roots of P. grandiflorum (AEPG) on the growth of human lung carcinoma A549 cells. Results obtained are as fellow; AEPG treatment resulted in the inhibition of the cell viability of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Upon treatment with AEPG, A549 cells developed many of the hallmark features of apoptosis, including condensation of chromatin. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed that AEPG increased populations of apoptotic-sub G1 phase. Western blot and RT-PCR analyses indicated that the expressions of Bcl-2 was down-regulated but Bax was up-regulated in AEPG-treated A549 cells. AEPG-induced apoptotis of A549 cells was associated with rroteolytic cleavage and activation of caspase-3, release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into cytosol and down-regulation of Akt and phospho-Akt proteins in a dose-dependent manner. Induction of apoptosis by AEPG treatment was associated with inhibition and/or degradation of apoptotic target proteins such as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, β-catenin and phospholipase C-γ 1. AEPG treatment inhibited the levels of cyclooxygenases protein of A549 cells, which was associated with the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 accumulation in a concentration-dependent fashion. Taken together, these findings suggest that P. grandiflorum has strong potential for development as an agent for prevention against human lung cancer.
