Abstract

This study tried to observe the ability to inhibit vasocontriction in phloretin - the primary ingredient of apple tree leaves and the Manchurian apricot - through ROCK(Rho-associdated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase) inactivation in rat aortae. A piece of artery that was separated from Sprague-Dawley male rats and retained or damaged the endothelium was suspended in myograph tank with two metal rings, the lower ring fixed to the bottom of the tank, and the upper ring connected to the isotonic force transducer. Interestingly, phloretin inhibited fluoride- or phorbol ester-provoked contraction implying that additional pathways dissimilar from endothelial nitric oxide synthesis such as ROCK or MEK (mitogen activated protein kinase kinase) inactivation might be involved in the vasorelaxation. Therefore, this study provides that phloretin participates in the reduction of ROCK or MEK activity in smooth muscle in addition to the endothelial-dependent action of the endotheliuim in complete blood vessels, and consequently inhibits actin-myosin interaction in smooth muscle. Furthermore, phloretin inhibited thromboxane A2-induced contraction suggesting the mechanism including inhibition of ROCK and MEK.

이 실험에서 뇌졸중, 심혈관계 질환 등에 대해 치료 활성이 기대되는 플로레틴(phloretin) - 사과나무 잎과 개살구의 주성분 - 에서의 쥐의 대동맥에서 ROCK(Rho연관 인산화효소) 불활성화를 통해 혈관수축을 억제한다는 기전을 확인하고자 한다. 개체에서 분리되고 내피가 유지되거나 손상된 동맥의 고리 조각은 2개의 금속 고리로 근운동기록기(myograph) 수조 안에 현수되었고 아래쪽 고리는 수조바닥에 고정되었고 위쪽 고리는 등장력 변환기에 연결되었고 등장력 변환기의 전기적 신호는 생리측정기에 표시되었다. 재미있게도 플로레틴은 수축약 (fluoride, phorbol ester)에 의한 혈관 수축을 억제하여 ROCK 또는 MEK(마이토겐 활성화 단백질 키나제 키나제) 비활성화 같은 경로가 혈관이완에 관여할 수 있음을 보였다. 따라서 phloretin은 내피가 완전한 혈관에서의 내피에 의존적인 작용 외에 추가적으로 내피에 비의존적으로 평활근에서 ROCK 또는 MEK 활성 감소에 참여하여 결과적으로 평활근에서 액틴-미오신 상호작용을 억제하여 혈관을 이완하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 phloretin은 thromboxane A2 유도수축을 억제하고 ROCK 및 MEK 억제를 포함하는 기전있음을 주장합니다.
