Abstract

Deep seawater (DSW) generally refers to seawater at depths equal to or greater than 200 meters. DSW is rich in inorganic materials which have attracted attention for its various applications. In this study we investigated the effects of the DSW upwelled from the East Sea, offshore Yang Yang (KangWon-do, Korea), on the expression of ${\mu}$-opioid receptor (MOR) of cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Neurons were grown in a minimal essential medium containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and either 25% (v/v) distilled water, or hardness (H) 800, or H 1000 DSW. Cultures grown in the presence of DSW with H 800 and H 1000 exhibited robust MOR immunoreactive signals in both neurons and astrocytes. Interestingly, the increase in MOR immunoreactive signals was more dramatic in astrocytes than in neurons. Statistical analysis revealed that the relative intensities for MOR clusters increased approximately 4-fold in astrocytes cultured in H 800 and H 1000 media. These increases were statistically very significant (p<0.001). In contrast, the increase in intensities for MOR immunoreactive signals was relatively less dramatic in neurons, where only the increase in the H 1000 culture was statistically very significant (p<0.001). These results indicated that DSW promotes expression of MOR in both neurons and astrocytes, and more significantly in the latter.

해양심층수는 깊이 200 m 정도 혹은 그 이상의 해수를 말한다. 해양심층수는 무기물질이 풍부하여 여러 분야 적용을 위해 많은 관심이 쏠리고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동해 양양 부근에서 취수한 해양심층수에서 배양된 쥐 해마신경세포의 ${\mu}$-아편양 수용체 발현에대한 영향을 조사하였다. 경도 800 및 1,000 심층수가 25% (v/v) 포함된 minimal essential media에서 해마신경세포를 배양해 대조군(증류수 첨가)과 비교하였다. 경도 800 및 1000심층수 첨가 배양액에서 배양된 신경세포 및 별아교세포에서 ${\mu}$-아편양 수용체의 면역반응 신호가 매우 증가했다. 흥미롭게도 신경세포보다 별아교세포에서 ${\mu}$-아편양 수용체의 면역반응 신호 증가가 더 뚜렷했다. 통계 분석시 경도 800 및 1000에서 배양된 별아교세포에서 ${\mu}$-아편양 수용체 군에 대한 상대적 강도가 약 4배 증가했다. 이런 증가는 통계적으로 매우 유의했다(p<0.001). 대조적으로 신경세포에선 이런 증가가 상대적으로 덜 뚜렷하였고, 경도 1000배양에서만 통계적으로 유의하였다(p<0.001). 이 결과들은 심층수가 신경세포 및 별아교세포에서 ${\mu}$-아편양 수용체의 발현을 항진 시킨다는 것을 나타내었다.
