Abstract

In order to verify the occurrence of an estrogenic compound in natural products, the estrogenic activity was measured using an in vitro detection system. For this system, human breast cancer cell line MCF7 was transfected using an estrogen responsive CAT reporter plasmid. Estrogenic activities of photosynthetic algae spirulina and sea lettuce were evaluated using this system. Estrogenic activities of a $500\mug/ml\; and\; 50 \mug/ml$ ethanol extracts of spirulina were as much as that of $10^{-8}$M standard solution (17$\beta$-estradiol) and activity of $5\mug/ml$ ethanol extract of spirulina was as much as that of $10^{-10}$ M standard solution. However, no significant estrogenic activity was observed using sea lettuce extract. Estrogenic activities of marine animals, such as star fish and shrimp, were also evaluated using this system, however, no significant estrogenic activity was observed in these extracts. In this result, it is confirmed that spirulina extract possesses estrogenic compound.

천연물에 포함되어 있는 에스트로겐 효과를 가지는 성분의 생체 내에서의 직접적인 효과를 검정하기 위하여, 에스트로겐 수용체를 발현하는 것으로 알려진 인체 유방암 세포주 MCF7에 에스트로겐에 반응성을 나타내도록 고안된 CAT 리포터 플라스미드를 도입한 in vitro 검출시스템을 사용하여 에스트로겐 활성을 측정하였다. 이미 여러 분야에서 그 기능성의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 광합성 조류인 스피루리나(spirulina)와 파래 등의 해양식물을 대상으로 에스트로겐 반응 리포터 시스템을 이용하여 에스트로겐 활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 스피루리나 에탄올 추출물의 CAT 활성은 $500\mug/ml\; 와\; 50 \mug/ml$의 농도에서 표준물질인 $17\beta-estradiol$의 농도 $10^{-8}$ M과 비슷한 정도의 에스트로겐 활성 효과를 나타내었고, $5\mug/ml$의 농도에서는 표준물질인 $17\beta-estradiol$의 농도 $10^{-10}$ M과 비슷한 정도의 에스트로겐 활성 효과를 나타내었다. 하지만 파래 추출물의 경우에는 에탄올을 처리한 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 CAT활성 변화를 나타내지 않았다 한편, 불가사리와 새우 등의 해양동물을 대상으로 한 실험에서는 에탄올을 처리한 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 CAT 활성 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 이 연구 결과로 광합성 조류인 스피루리나에 에스트로겐 활성을 효과적으로 나타내는 생리활성성분이 포함되어 있을 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.
