Abstract

Ginseng is a medicinal herb widely used in Asian countries. Dendritic cells(DCs) play a pivotal role in the initiation of T cell-mediated immune responses, making them an attractive cellular adjuvant for use in cancer vaccines. In this study, we examined the effects of Red-ginseng(water extract, edible and fermented ethyl alcohol extract, crude saponin) on the DCs phenotypic and functional maturation. Immature DCs were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and the generated immature DCs were stimulated by water extract, edible and fermented ethyl alcohol extract, crude saponin and LPS, respectively, for 24hours. The expression of surface co-stimulatory molecules, including MHC(major histocompatibility complex) class II, CD40, CD80 and CD86, was increased on DCs that were stimulated with crude saponin, but antigen-uptake capacity was decreased. The antigen-presenting capacity of Red-ginseng extracts-treated DCs as analyzed by allogeneic T cells proliferation and IL-2, $IFN-{\gamma}$ production was increased. Furthermore, $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ syngeneic T cell(OVA-specific) proliferation and $IFN-{\gamma}$ production was significantly increased. However, $CD4^+$ syngeneic T cell secreted higher levels of IL-2 in responding but not $CD8^+$ syngeneic T cell. These results indicate the immunomodulatory properties of Red-ginseng extracts, which might be therapeutically useful in the control of cancers and immunodeficient diseases through the up-regulation of DCs maturation.

본 연구에서는 정관장 홍삼의 물(water) extract, 식용발효 주정 extract 및 홍삼 추출물로부터 분리 제조한 crude saponin을 이용하여 면역반응을 매개하는 수지상세포의 활성 효과에 대하여 알아보았다. 그 결과 홍삼시료 중, crude saponin $100\;{\mu}g/ml$을 처리하였을 때 수지상세포의 세포표면 분자인 MHC class II, CD40, CD80, CD86의 발현이 증가하였으며, phagocytosis는 감소하였다. 또한 홍삼시료를 처리한 수지상세포와 allogeneic T세포를 함께 배양하였을 때, 홍삼시료의 물 extract, 식용발효주정 extract, crude saponin 모두 allogeneic T세포의 증식반응을 유도하였고, IL-2와 $IFN-{\gamma}$의 생산량을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 $CD4^+$ syngeneic T세포와 $CD8^+$ syngeneic T세포의 반응에서도 T세포의 증식반응을 높게 유도하였으며, $CD4^+$ syngeneic T세포에서 IL-2와 $IFN-{\gamma}$의 생산량을 증가시키고, $CD8^+$ syngeneic T세포에서는 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 생산량을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 crude saponin의 경우 수지상세포 의 세포표면 공동자극분자의 발현을 유도하고 성숙을 유도함으로써 T세포의 활성을 증진시키는 것으로 생각되며, 물 extract와 식용발효주정 extract는 crude saponin과는 다른 기작으로 T세포 활성화를 유도하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 실험에 사용한 홍삼시료, 즉 물 extract, 식용발효주정 extract, crude saponin 모두 수지상세포의 활성을 유도하는 물질로써 암항원 특이적 T세포 활성화를 이용한 항암치료에 이용할 수 있는 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.
