Abstract

Clinical and animal studies have shown that free radical overload is an important cause for a variety of diseases. Although ginseng has been recognized as antioxidant, how it modulates anti-oxidative process at the molecular level remains unknown. Free radical production is induced by tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$) under the stress condition, and (TNF-$\alpha$) release is activated by TNF-$\alpha$-converting enzyme (TACE). Since TACE inhibitor is also well known for anti-inflammatory agent, ginseng seems to show anti-oxidative activity by repressing TACE pathway. Further studies on signal transduction would be warranted to elucidate molecular action mechanisms of ginseng on anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation.

우리 몸의 많은 기관을 비롯하여 장기들은 반복적이거나 혹은 급성 스트레스를 이겨내지 못하고 만성 스트레스로 이어질 경우 질병이 생기게 된다. 특히 강하고 지속적인 스트레스에 노출되면 뇌의 해마 수지상 세포(hippocampal dendrites)가 위축되거나 크기가 작아진다. 이렇게 스트레스로 인하여 증가된 글루코 코티코이드 호르몬은 뉴런 흥분제인 glutamate를 유도하거나 에너지 대사를 변형시켜 신경 독작용을 일으킨다. 이러한 연속적인 반응은 TNF-$\alpha$ convertase(TACE)를 활성화시켜 TNF-$\alpha$가 분비되도록 하여 전사 조절자인 NF-${\kappa}B$가 핵내로 전이되고 신경 손상을 일으키는 iNOS와 COX-2와 같은 효소를 유도한다. 이런 산화적 스트레스의 상위조절인자 TACE는 스트레스에 의한 여러 가지 염증성 질환 및 숙주방어에서 가장 중요한 조절자인 TNF-alpha를 수용체로부터 "유리(shedding)" 시키는 역할을 한다. 따라서 이런 신호 전달계를 자극하는 TACE의 발현 양과 이로 인한 지속적인 처리과정이 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 특히 여러 스트레스 중에서 고정화 스트레스 및 신체적 구속 스트레스에 대한 연구는 뇌에서 산화물 생성을 증가시키지만 인삼이 뇌의 산화물질 생성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 체계적인 연구가 진행된 바 없다. 따라서 염증을 매개하는 TNF-alpha의 생산에 중요한 역할을 하는 TACE의 발현 조절 및 TNF-alpha 신호전달을 연구함으로써 인삼의 항산화 기전을 분자 수준에서 규명할 수 있게 될 것으로 기대된다.
