Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of hydrogen peroxide and grapefruit seed extract used as a chemical and natural disinfectants on human conjunctival cells in vitro. The main component of grapefruit seed extract is a narigin. It is one of the flavonoid types in citrus fruits and f1avonoids are widely recognized as naturally occurring(삭제) antioxidants. Cytotoxicity was determined by mitochondrial activity(MTT assay) and DNA damage was analyzed by measuring Comet assay. In LDH assay, 5% of grapefruits seed extract has been observed as a material is giving recovery effect of damaged cultured conjuctival cells by hydrogen peroxide. And also, each of concentrations has been treated simultaneously with same amounts and cytotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide and grapefruit seed extract have been estimated by LDH leakage assay after 24 hours. In conclusion, H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, apoptosis were Significantly prevented by grapefruit seed extract. It is a main component of bioflavonoids that we can simply take it as food. The present results suggest that grapefruit seed extract is a useful disinfectanct having antioxidant and antiapoptopic activity as a natural product.

콘택트렌즈 관리용액으로 사용되는 합성보존제로서 대표적인 $H_2O_2$와 천연보존제인 자몽씨 추출물(DF-100)이 결막세포에 미치는 저해효과를 비교 조사하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 자몽씨 추출물의 주성분은 Narigin이며, 이는 항산화를 일으키는 Flavonoid의 구성성분중 하나이다. $H_2O_2$와 자몽씨 추출물(DF-100)의 세포는 MTT assay에 의해 측정하였고, DNA 손상은 Comet assay 측정으로 분석하였다. 5%의 자몽씨 추출물은 과산화수소에 의해 손상된 세포를 회복시켜주는 효과를 나타내었으며, 또한 배양 결막세포주에 과산화수소 및 자몽씨 추출물을 농도별로 동시 처리하여 24시간 뒤 LDH leakage assay용 이용한 세포독성을 측정하여 분석하였다. 자몽씨 추출물은 과산화수소의 세포증식 저해와 apoptosis를 현저하게 억제해 주었다. 또한 자몽씨 추출물은 bioflavonoids의 구성성분이며 이는 음식으로써도 제공된다. 이 연구는 자몽씨 추출물이 anti-oxidant와 anti-apoptopic activity로 천연보존제로 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 것을 보여준다.
