Abstract

The objective of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of anthocyanin-enriched extract from radiation-induced blackberry (Rubus fruticosus L.) mutant (${\gamma}$-B201) against carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-induced liver injury in Spargue-Dawley (SD) rats. The in vivo results show that ${\gamma}$-B201 attenuated the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and liver lipid peroxidation in $CCl_4$-treated SD rats. Histopathological examination of rat livers showed that ${\gamma}$-B201 reduced the incidence of liver lesions induced by $CCl_4$. Moreover, ${\gamma}$-B201 prevented DNA damage in $CCl_4$-treated SD rats. Furthermore, administration of ${\gamma}$-B201 significantly increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR), in $CCl_4$-treated rat livers. In conclusion, the present study suggests that ${\gamma}$-B201 blackberry extract protects the liver from $CCl_4$-induced hepatic damage through an antioxidant mechanism. Therefore, ${\gamma}$-B201 blackberry may be functional food material for human health.

본 연구에서는 흰쥐 SD rats에서 $CCl_4$로 유도된 간 손상에 미치는 방사선 돌연변이 블랙베리 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물의 간 기능 개선 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물을 경구 투여 시 SD rats에 $CCl_4$ 처리로 인해 증가된 혈청 AST, ALT 농도를 억제함을 확인하였다. 나아가 지질과산화 대사산물인 MDA의 농도를 억제함을 확인하였고, 조직염색 관찰 결과 손상된 간 조직을 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물에 의해 회복되는 것을 확인하였다. Comet assay를 통해 DNA 손상정도를 분석한 결과, $CCl_4$로 인해 유발된 산화적 스트레스에 의한 DNA 손상을 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물의 경구 투여로 인하여 유의적으로 감소시켰다. $CCl_4$ 처리로 인해 감소된 SOD, CAT, GPx, GR의 항산화 효소 활성이 증가함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 방사선 돌연변이 ${\gamma}$-B201 추출물은 항산화 효소 활성을 증가시킴으로써 $CCl_4$에 의해 손상된 SD rat의 간 조직을 보호하는 것으로 판단되며, 방사선 돌연변이 ${\gamma}$-B201은 간 손상 보호 및 간 기능 개선 효과를 갖는 기능성 소재로 활용되어질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
