Abstract

The immunostimulating activities of the hot-water extract from Codonopsis lanceolata were investigated. The proliferation of BSA-primed lymph node cells was enhanced between 2.8- to 11.2-fold compare to control, when cultured with 1 to $25\;{\mu}g/mL$ of C. lanceolata extract. It showed strong immunopotentiating activity than ginseng extract and as remarkable as Bifidobacterium adolescentis M101-4 known as a positive immunostimulator. The proliferation of splenocytes and Peyer's patch cells was enhanced between 4.2- to 13.8-fold and 3.1- to 6.9-fold, respectively, when cultured with 1 to 25 $25\;{\mu}g/mL$ of C. lanceolata extract. It enhanced the production of cytokines such as $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 in the culture of RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. In the culture of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, production of cytokines was as compared to controls. In unstimulated RAW 264.7 cells, both $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 production were enhanced between 12.6- to 67.8-fold and 2.8- to 10.1-fold, respectively. The hot-water extract from C. lanceolata is expected to be a safe immunopotentiator to maintain the host immunity and develop a physiologically functional food.

더덕열수추출물의 면역증강효과를 조사하였다. 더덕열수추출물을 1에서 $25\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 첨가했을 때 BSA로 면역된 마우스의 림파절 세포는 무첨가군에 비해 2.8에서 11.2배의 세포증식 효과를 나타냈다. 더덕열수추출물은 인삼열수추출물보다 증식효과가 높게 나타났으며, 면역증강효과가 알려진 B. adolescentis M101-4 와는 유사한 정도의 효과를 보였다. 비장 및 Peyer's patch 세포에 대해서는 1에서 $25\;{\mu}g/mL$의 더덕열수추출물을 첨가했을 때 각각 4.2에서 13.8배, 3.1에서 6.9배의 증식효과를 나타냈다. 더덕열수추출물은 또한 RAW 264.7 세포주에 의한 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 나 IL-6 같은 사이토카인 생산을 자극하였다. RAW 264.7 세포를 lipopolysaccharide로 자극했을 경우, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6는 무첨가군에 비해 별다른 증진효과를 나타내지 않았으나, 자극하지 않은 RAW 264.7 세포에 대해서는 $TNF-{\alpha}$는 12.6에서 67.8배, Il-6는 2.8에서 10.1배 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 더덕열수추출물을 이용하여 노화 및 질병에 따라 수반되는 면역력 감소를 방지하는 기능성식품 및 신소재로의 개발이 기대된다.
