Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotecive effect of silk protein hydrolysates (SDH), which was prepared by acid hydrolysis, in rats. SDH itself did not exhibit any cytotoxic effect on hepatic tissues. SDH showed a protective effect on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced hepatotoxicity and liver damage. SDH effectively reduced AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase), which are biomarkers for liver damage, in a dose-dependent manner. Malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation product, was significantly reduced by SDH. A high dose of SDH (2 g/kg) reduced t-BHP-induced MDA production by 40%. Glutathione (GSH), which is an endogenous antioxidant molecule, was effectively increased by SDH treatment. GSH content was enhanced by around 2.5-fold, compared with t-BHP control, upon SDH (2 g/kg) treatment. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which is an enzyme released by cell cytotoxicity, was greatly increased by t-BHP, but significantly decreased by SDH treatment. Furthermore, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed that SDH suppressed t-BHP-induced lesions in liver tissue. Taken together, SDH might be used as a protective agent against liver damage.

동물실험에서 실크단백질 산 가수분해물을 투여하고 t-BHP투여한 군의 혈액 생화학적 검사 결과 t-BHP만 투여한 군과 비교하였을 때 AST, ALT 그리고 LDH가 실크단백질 산 가수분해물의 투여 농도가 높아질수록 수치가 감소하는 것으로 나타났고 세포가 손상할 시에 증가하는 MDA를 간 조직을 대상으로 측정한 결과 실크단백질 산 가수분해물의 농도가 높아질수록 수치가 대조군과 유사한 정도로 감소하는 것으로 보아 간 손상에 관여하는 효소의 누출 억제효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다. HPLC로 간 조직에서의 GSH 측정결과 t-BHP만 투여한 군과 비교하였을 때 유의적으로 증가하였고 조직학적 검사 결과 t-BHP만 투여한 군과 비교하였을 때 실크단백질 산 가수분해물을 투여한 군이 대조군과 가까운 모습을 보이는 것으로 관찰되어 실크단백질 산 가수분해물이 산화적 스트레스로부터의 간 보호 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 실크단백질 산 가수분해물의 기능적 소재로서의 이용가능성이 확대될 것으로 사료된다.
