Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the effect of Capsosiphon fulvescens extract (CFE) and its active compound, pheophorbide A (PhA), on diabetic kidney failure. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ; 40 mg/kg body weight (BW)). After a week, the rats were orally administered CFE (4 and 20 mg/kg BW) or PhA (0.2 mg/kg BW) once a day for 9 weeks. After scarification, renal tissue samples were collected for biochemical and histochemical analyses. Our study showed that the treatment with CFE and PhA significantly decreased lipid peroxidation level and the activities of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase (p<0.05), but it increased glutathione level and the activities of glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase in the renal tissues (p<0.05). The CFE- and PhA-treated rats with DM showed improved histochemical appearance and decreased abnormal glycogen accumulation. Therefore, we suggest that PhA-containing CFE could exert renal protective effects against STZ-induced oxidative stress.

당뇨 모델 쥐에서 매생이 추출물과 그 지표물질인 pheophorbide A의 신장 보호 효과를 확인하였다. 5주령의 SD 랫드를 일주일간 순화시킨 뒤 40 mg/kg BW의 농도로 streptozotocin을 복강 투여하였으며, 한달 동안의 유도기간을 거쳐 모든 당뇨 유발군에서 혈당이 400-500 mg/dL가 된 것을 확인한 이후 9주 동안의 샘플 투여를 진행하였다. 신장 손상과 관련한 혈액 생화학적 지표인 BUN, creatinine에서는 당뇨 유발군 사이에 개선되는 경향을 보이진 않았다. 신장 조직에서 산화스트레스에 의해 유발되는 지질 과산화물을 측정 하였을 때 당뇨 유발군인 STZ군($0.19{\pm}0.04$)은 정상 대조군인 Con군($0.05{\pm}0.00$)에 비하여 3.5배 많은 MDA를 생성하였지만 매생이 추출물 4, 20 mg/kg BW투여한 CL, CH군은 MDA의 생성량이 $0.05{\pm}0.02$, $0.08{\pm}0.02$, 지표물질인 pheophorbide A를 0.2 mg/kg BW을 투여한 PhA군은 0.12{\pm}0.01 nmol/mg protein로 샘플 투여군에서 과산화물이 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 보아(p<0.05) CFE와 PhA의 항산화 작용을 확인할 수 있었다. 항산화 바이오 마커인 GSH와 GSSH 함량 및 GPx, GR, GST 활성을 측정한 결과 CFE와 PhA는 산화스트레스에 의한 신장 조직의 GSH 함량이 감소하는 것을 막아 당뇨로 인한 신장 손상에 보호 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다(p<0.05). 또한 STZ에 유도된 당뇨 쥐의 신장 조직엔 많은 양의 과산화물이 축적되어 있으며 이를 소거하기 위해 GPx의 활성이 높아졌는데, AC군과 PhA군에서 GPx 의 증가 정도를 유의적으로 완화시켰다(p<0.05). GR 활성은 CL, CH, PhA군에서 Con군 수준까지 올라오는 것으로 보아 신장의 산화적 손상을 정상수준까지 회복 시키는 것으로 보였으며, GST 결과로 미루어 보아 CFE와 PhA는 신장 조직에서 일차적으로 과산화물을 포집하고 GSH를 이용하여 체내의 독성 물질을 분해시켜 STZ로 유도된 당뇨로부터 신장 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 또한, 조직 내에서 SOD와 CAT의 활성 측정 결과, CFE와 PhA는 지질과산화물의 증가로 산화적 손상이 가속화 될 때, 항산화 효소계의 활성을 증가시키고 산화 스트레스에 의한 조직 손상을 완화 시켜 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 신장 조직의 병리학적 관찰 결과 CL, CH 및 PhA군에선 STZ군에 비해 비이상적인 글리코겐의 축적이 유의적으로 저해 되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.05). 위와 같은 실험 결과를 통하여 매생이 추출물과 PhA가 당뇨병성 신장 손상에 보호 효과가 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
