Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is commonly found in aging men, is characterized by hyperplasia of prostatic stromal and epithelial cells beginning in the periurethral zone of the prostate. The prevalence of BPH increases in an age-dependent manner. Here, we investigated the protective effects of unripe Rubus occidentalis extracts (UROE) on BPH development using a prostate cancer cell line and testosterone-induced BPH rat model. Experiments using an established hormone-dependent prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP) showed that UROE treatment significantly decreased expression of androgen-related genes, including androgen receptor (AR), prostate specific antigen (PSA), and 5-alpha reductase 2, but not 5-alpha reductase 1, which was also observed in flutamide-treated cells. Further, AR and PSA gene expression was reduced by UROE treatment under androgen-stimulated conditions using dihydrotestosterone (DHT). BPH animals displayed elevated prostate weights. However, UROE as well as finasteride treatment significantly reduced prostate weights and DHT levels compared to testosterone-induced BPH animals. Histopathological analysis also showed that UROE treatment suppressed testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia. Taken together, the results suggest that UROE may effectively inhibit the development of BPH and thus may be a useful agent in BPH treatment.

본 연구는 전립선암세포주인 LNCaP 세포주와 테스토스테론으로 유도된 전립선비대 백서모델에서 복분자 추출물의 전립선비대 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 첫째, 전립선암 세포주(LNCaP)에서 복분자 미숙과 추출물의 안드로겐 관련 전립선비대 유전자 억제 효과를 조사한 결과 미숙과 50% 에탄올 추출물은 안드로겐 수용체(AR)뿐만 아니라 전립선특이항원(PSA)과 5-알파 환원 효소 type 2(5AR2)의 발현을 가장 높게 억제하였다. 또한 LNCaP 세포에 DHT로 안드로겐 관련 유전자를 유도한 후 복분자 미숙과 50% 에탄올 추출물을 처리한 결과 AR과 PSA mRNA의 발현이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 둘째, 테스토스테론을 이용하여 전립선비대를 유도한 동물모델에서 복분자 미숙과 50% 에탄올 추출물을 6주간 투여한 후 전립선비대 개선 효과를 조사한 결과, 전립선비대유발군에 복분자 미숙과 추출물을 투여한 군에서 전립선 무게, 전립선 소포의 상피세포 두께 및 면적이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었고, 전립선비대 유발 호르몬인 DHT level이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다.
