Abstract

Purpose: This purpose of study is to investigate the effect of UV-A-blocking or brown-tinted ophthalmic lens against A2E photooxidation which known as one of the etiologies of AMD(Age-related macular degenaration). Methods: The photooxidation of A2E, synthetic product of two molecules of all-trans-retinal and ethanolamine, was induced by the exposure to blue light (420~470 nm, $94mW/cm^2$) for 3 minutes. The inhibitory effect of UVblocking or brown-tinted ophthalmic lens against A2E photooxidation was evaluated by UV absorbance and HPLC analysis of remained A2E after the exposure to blue light. Results: UV-blocking ophthalmic lens could not inhibit A2E photooxidation induced by blue light irradiation. There was no difference in A2E photooxidation in the presence of brown-tinted ophthalmic lens to block 15% of visible ray, however, those lenses blocking 55% or 86% of visible ray showed the inhibitory effect of A2E photooxidation as 9.98% and 16.55%, respectively. By HPLC analysis, the amount of residual A2E which was not blocked by any lens was $199.29{\pm}26.53{\mu}M$, however, the inhibitory effect against A2E photooxidation was shown in the presence of brown-tinted lens. The remained A2Es were $264.58{\pm}31.91{\mu}M$ and $402.93{\pm}28.68{\mu}M$ in brown-tinted lenses of 55% and 86% blocking visible ray, respectively. However, there was no inhibitory effect against A2E photooxidation in the case of UV-blocking lens by HPLC analysis. Conclusions: In this study, brown-tinted ophthalmic lens was confirmed to have the inhibitory effect against the photooxidation of A2E, a causing substance of AMD onset.

목적: 본 연구는 노인성 황반변성(age-related macular degeneration, AMD)의 병인으로 잘 알려진 A2E의 광산화가 자외선 차단렌즈나 brown 착색렌즈에 의해 억제되는가를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 두 분자의 all-trans-retinal과 한 분자의 ethanolamine을 합성하여 만든 A2E에 청색광(420~470 nm, $94mW/cm^2$)을 3분 동안 조사하여 광산화를 유도하였다. UV 차단 및 brown 착색 안경렌즈의 A2E의 광산화 저해 효과는 광산화되지 않고 남아있는 A2E의 흡광도와 HPLC chromatogram 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. 결과: 자외선 차단렌즈는 청색광 조사로 유발되는 A2E의 광산화를 억제하지 못하였다. 반면 Brown 착색렌즈에서는 가시광선 차단율이 15%인 경우 A2E의 광산화율에는 별차이가 없었지만, 55%와 86% 차단된 렌즈에서는 각각 9.98%, 16.55%의 A2E 광산화 억제 효과를 보였다. HPLC로 분석한 잔존 A2E량을 확인해 보면 렌즈로 차단하지 않은 A2E의 잔존량은 $199.29{\pm}26.53{\mu}M$ 이었으나, 55% 차단율을 가진 brown 렌즈는 $264.58{\pm}31.91{\mu}M$, 86% 차단율을 가진 렌즈에서는 $402.93{\pm}26.68{\mu}M$의 A2E 잔존량을 보여 A2E 광산화 억제효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 반면, 자외선 차단렌즈의 경우에는 잔존량 분석에서도 광산화 억제효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 본 연구결과를 통하여 brown 착색 안경렌즈는 노인성 황반변성의 원인물질인 A2E의 광산화를 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 알 수 있었다.
