Abstract

Antioxidant activity and neuroprotective effects of extracts from Cichorium endivia L. (CEL) on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage in neuronal cells were investigated. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the water and ethanolic extracts from CEL were $36.2{\pm}0.99$, $37.2{\pm}3.76$ mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract, and $46.9{\pm}5.22$, $53.86{\pm}5.09$ mg catechin equivalent/g extract, respectively. In addition, antioxidant activities of the extracts were also determined by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity and reducing power. In an MTT assay on the neuronal cells, the extracts showed a protective effect by increasing cell viability on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage in neuronal cells. Antioxidative enzyme (superoxide dismutase: SOD, catalase: CAT) levels in cultured neuronal cells were increased in the presence of extracts from CEL. It was found that CEL extracts inhibited hydrogen peroxide-induced Bcl-2 and Bax expression in neuronal cells. These results indicate that the CEL extracts possess an antioxidant activity.

본 연구는 치콘 추출물의 항산화 효능을 확인하고자 물과 에탄올로 추출하였다. 치콘에 포함된 총 폴리페놀 함량을 측정한 결과, 에탄올 추출물($37.3{\pm}5.2$ mg/GAE/g extract)과 열수 추출물($36.3{\pm}1.0$ mg/GAE/g extract)이 유사한 총 폴리페놀 함량을 포함하고 있었으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 물 추출물이 $47.0{\pm}3.8$ mg CE/g extract 그리고 에탄올 추출물이 $53.9{\pm}5.1$ mg CE/g extract를 나타내었다. ABTS를 이용한 라디칼 소거활성, FRAP를 이용한 환원력을 통한 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과에서도 치콘 추출물이 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. 한편, 세포 독성을 살펴보기 위하여 신경세포를 이용하여 MTT assay를 수행한 결과, 세포의 생존율은 1.0 mg/mL의 농도 이상에서는 생존에 영향을 미치지 않았고 신경세포 보호효능 실험에서는 2.5 mM의 $H_2O_2$로 유발시킨 산화적 손상에 대해 농도 의존적인 신경세포 보호 효과가 있었으며, 항산화 효소 활성을 SOD와 CAT로 분석한 결과 SOD는 0.5 mg/mL 농도에서 95% 이상의 활성과 CAT는 손상그룹에 비해 2배 이상의 활성을 각각 확인하였다. 또한 치콘 추출물이 세포사와 관련이 있는 단백질인 Bax와 Bcl-2의 발현을 조절하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 치콘 추출물이 산화적 손상의 억제를 통해 세포를 보호하는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
