Abstract

LP-BM5 murine leukemia retrovirus induces the immune dysfunction by imbalanced secretion of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in the murine AIDS model. In the present study, it was investigated whether pycnogenol (Pyc) administration could deactivate $NF-{\kappa}B$ to regulate the gene expression of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in C57BL/6 mice with murine AIDS. Treatment with Pyc for 12 weeks significantly inhibited the loss of body weight and enlargement of spleen and lymph node usually seen with AIDS. Moreover, Pyc increased the plasma level of Th1 cytokines, IL-2 and $IFN-{\gamma}$, while reducing the plasma level of Th2 cytokines, IL-6, IL-10, and $TNF-{\alpha}$. In primary culture of splenocytes, mRNA expression of Th2 cytokines was suppressed, but that of Th1 cytokines was not affected. The LP-BM5 retrovirus infection stimulated the cytoplasmic activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ and nuclear translocation of $I-{\kappa}B$, whereas Pyc administration significantly reduced $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation and $I-{\kappa}B$ degradation. These results suggested that the inhibitory effect of Pyc on Th2 cytokines in mice with murine AIDS was dependent on suppression of the $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling pathway and was not dependent on $INF-{\gamma}$ level, which regulates Th2 cytokines.

HIV 감염 후 AIDS로의 진행과정에서 cytokines의 변화는 필수적인 결과로서 나타나게 된다. 본 연구에서는 AIDS 동물모델을 사용하여 Pyc Cytokines발현에 미치는 영향과 조절 매개체로서 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 관련성 및 작용 기작 확인에 초점을 두었다. LP-BM5 retrovirus에 감염된 C57BL/6 생쥐를 이용하여12주간에 걸친 실험에서Pyc 투여는 Th1과 Th2 cytokines의 혈중농도를 조절하여 murine AIDS로의 진행을 억제하는 데 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. 특히 Th2 cytokines의 mRNA 발현을 억제함에 따라 Th1 cytokines의 혈중농도는 상대적으로 증가한 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 결과는 Pyc가 Th2 cytokines을 선택적으로 transcription level에서 조절하고 있음을 의미하고 있다. 또한 Th2 cytokines mRNA 발현 조절은 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성화에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구는 AIDS 동물모델에서 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 조절을 통한 cytokines의 발현 조절의 가능성을 제시함과 동시에 Pyc의 역할에 대해 자료를 제시하고 있다. 또한 향후 murine AIDS 진행 억제제로서의 Pyc의 기작에 대한 일면을 보인 것에 의의를 두고자 한다.
