Abstract

In the present study, whether squalene treatment relives inflammatory reactions induced by Candida albicans was checked. The experiment was conducted in vivo using seven experimental animals (ICR mice) per experimental group. Among C. albicans-induced inflammatory factors, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, and NO were observed using the ELISA kits method. Through the experiment, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. In the group infected with C. albicans, it could be identified that squalene treatment was inducing NO generation in renal tissues both on the 1st and 3rd days (p < 0.05). 2. In the group pre-treated(intraperitoneal administration) with SQ (80ml/kg) once per day for seven days and infected with C. albicans, it could be identified that squalene treatment was inducing TNF-${\alpha}$ generation in renal tissues only on the 3rd day(p < 0.05). 3. In the group pre-treated(intraperitoneal administration) with SQ (80ml/kg) once per day for seven days and infected with C. albicans, it could be identified that squalene treatment was inducing IL-6 generation in renal tissues only on the 3rd day(p < 0.05). In conclusion, it could be seen that for squalene to suppress C. albicans-induced inflammatory factors, preemptively supplying SQ should be effective. Therefore, effects for recovery from C. albicans-induced immunodepression can be expected from SQ treatment.

본 연구에서는 Candida albicans로 유도한 염증반응에 대해 스쿠알렌의 처치를 통해 염증반응을 경감시키는가에 대해 확인하였다. 실험동물은 (ICR계 생쥐) 각 실험군별 7마리씩을 사용하여 생체 내 실험을 하였다. Candida albicans-유도 염증인자 중 종양괴사인자-알파, 인터루킨-6, 산화질소는 ELISA kits 방법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험을 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Candida albicans를 감염시킨 군에서 1, 3일째 모두 신장조직 내에서의 산화질소 생성량을 감소시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다 (p< 0.05). 2. 스쿠알렌 (80ml/kg)을 7일간 1일 1회 전 처치(복강투여)한 다음, Candida albicans를 감염시킨 군에서 3일째 군에서만 신장 조직 내에서의 종양괴사인자-알파 생성량을 감소시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다(p< 0.05). 3. 스쿠알렌 (80m/kg)을 7일간 1일 1회 전 처치(복강투여)한 다음. Candida albicans를 감염 시킨 군에서 3일째 군에서만 신장 조직 내에서의 인터루킨-6 생성량을 감소시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다(p< 0.05). 결론적으로 스쿠알렌이 Candida albicans-유도 염증인자들의 억제를 위해서는 예방적 차원에서 스쿠알렌을 공급하는 것이 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 스쿠알렌 처치가 Candida albicans-유도 면역억제에 대해 회복 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
