Abstract

In this study, we examined immuno-modulatory activities of crude polysaccharides from wild ginseng adventitious roots (WGAR). The crude polysaccharide (WGAR-CP) was isolated from WGAR by hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and dialysis. The major constituents in WGAR-CP were neutral sugar (64.77%), and uronic acid (34.32%). WGAR-CP demonstrated anti-complementary activity dose-dependently. The immuno-modulatory effects of WGAR-CP were also analyzed by measuring nitric oxide and cytokines in the supernatants of mouse peritoneal macrophages. Mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with WGAR-CP produced nitric oxide and various cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, WGAR-CP may have immuno-modulatory activities by activating a complementary system and macrophages, which produces cytokines.

최근 산삼근의 배양이 실험실에서 가능해짐에 따라 산삼에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산삼 배양근으로부터 다당을 분리하여 보체계 및 macrophage에 대한 면역자극활성을 측정하였다. 산삼 배양근을 열수 추출한 뒤, 80% ethanol 침전을 통하여 조다당을 추출하여 특성을 검토한 결과, 산삼 배양근 조다당체(WGAR-CP)의 neutral sugar 함량은 64.77%였고, uronic acid 함량은 34.32%이었다. WGAR-CP의 구성당 조성을 확인한 결과, glucose를 높은 비율로 함유하고 있었으며, rhamnose, arabinose, galactose, glucose를 미량 함유하고 있었다. Uronic acid에서는 galacturonic acid를 높은 비율로 함유하고 있었다. 한편, WGAR-CP는 인체 초기 면역반응에 있어 중요한 역할을 담당하는 보체계에 대하여 농도 의존적인 활성을 나타냈다. WGAR-CP를 0.1, 1, 10, 50, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 농도로 mouse peritoneal macrophage에 처리하여 면역자극을 유도한 후, NO 생성 및 cytokine 분비활성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 WGAR-CP의 NO생성은 저농도에서는 유의적인 활성을 보이지 않았으나, 50, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 농도별로 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 또한 50, $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 용량에서 IL-6 생성을 농도 유의적으로 증가시켰고, 10, $50{\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 농도 유의적으로 IL-12의 생성을 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, WGAR-CP는 자연면역계를 구성하고 있는 보체계와 macrophage의 활성인자로 작용할 수 있음이 확인되었고, WGAR-CP에 의해 활성화된 macrophage는 NO 및 IL-6, IL-12와 같은 염증성 cytokine의 분비를 유도함으로써 체내 면역기능을 증강시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
