Abstract

Ginsenoside Rg5, one of the protopanaxadiol ginsenosides of wood-cultivated ginseng, has been implicated in various diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and hypertension; however, its angiogenic activity and molecular mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. Here, we found that wood-cultivated ginseng extract and ginsenoside Rg5 increase in vitro proliferation, migration, and tube-like structure formation, which are typical phenomena associated with angiogenesis, in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, Ginsenoside Rg5 stimulated the phosphorylation of Akt, endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS), and extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, which are well-known signal mediators of the angiogenic pathway. Furthermore, Ginsenoside Rg5 did not accelerate the activation of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 which are inflammatory response mediators. These results suggest that wood-cultivated ginseng extract and ginsenoside Rg5 stimulated in vitro angiogenesis by activating the Akt/eNOS- and ERK1/2-dependent signal pathways without inducing vascular inflammation.

본 연구에서는 상처치유(wound healing)와 같은 허혈성 심뇌혈관 질환의 잠재적 치료제로서 산양삼 추출물과 진세노사이드 Rg5의 가능성을 인간 제대정맥 내피세포인 HUVEC에서 확인하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 산양삼 추출물과 Rg5는 10-100 nM의 저농도에서 혈관신생 과정에서 발생하는 세포의 증식이나 이동, 관 형성과정을 유의적으로 증진시켰으며, 그 증가현상은 산양삼 추출물과 Rg5가 유사한 수준으로 발생하였다. 따라서 Rg5를 이용하여 혈관신생 과정에 관여하는 신호전달 메커니즘을 확인한 결과, Akt/eNOS와 ERK1/2의 인산화는 양성대조군으로 사용한 VEGF와 유사한 수준으로 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 혈관 신생 유도인자이며 양성대조군인 VEGF의 혈관염증 관련 부작용이 Rg5의 혈관신생 효과에도 작용하는지 확인하기 위하여 혈관염증 관련 단백질인 ICAM-1과 VCAM-1의 발현량을 확인한 결과, ICAM-1과VCAM-1의 발현이 양성대조군인 VEGF에서는 유의적으로 증가하였으나 Rg5를 처리한 경우에는 일반 대조군과 유사한 수준으로 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 산양삼 추출물과 Rg5가 혈관신생 유도효과가 있으며, 이러한 현상은 Akt/eNOS와 ERK 관련 신호전달 메커니즘을 통해 진행되고 이러한 효과가 혈관염증은 유도하지 않는다는 것을 입증하였으며, 잠재적 치료제로서의 가능성을 확인하는 계기가 되었다.
