Abstract

We investigated the effects of water extracts of unripe black raspberry (UBR) and red ginseng (RG) on cholesterol synthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase activity, and expression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related genes in HepG2 and Caco-2 (human hepatoma and intestinal cell lines, respectively). Our results showed that cholesterol synthesis and HMG-CoA reductase activity in HepG2 cells were inhibited by UBR and RG. Further, co-treatment with UBR and RG had a greater effect than did treatment with either UBR or RG. In Caco-2 cells, treatment with UBR and RG increased the expression of LDL-regulated genes, such as LDL receptor and SREBP-2, and also upregulated the level of HDL-associated ABCA1. Moreover, co-treatment with UBR and RG appeared to be more effective than treatment with either UBR or RG. Taken together, our results indicate that UBR and RG regulate the level of HDL-associated ABCA1 via signaling pathway, thereby preventing cholesterol synthesis.

본 연구는 복분자 미숙과와 홍삼 물 추출물을 이용하여 인간 간암세포주(HepG2)와 위장관세포주(Caco-2)를 이용하여 콜레스테롤 억제효과 및 그와 연관된 HMG-CoA reductase 활성 억제효과 및 LDL 및 HDL과 관련된 분자기전을 조사하였다. 그 결과 복분자 미숙과와 홍삼 추출물은 모두 콜레스테롤 합성 억제 효과를 보였을 뿐만 아니라 HMG-CoA reductase 활성 억제효과를 보였다. 또한 두 추출물은 단독 투여시 보다 복합 투여시 부가효과를 보였다. 그리고 LDL receptor와 이를 조절하는 SREBP-2를 증가시키고 콜레스테롤 transport 인 ABCA1의 발현을 증가시켜 LDL를 낮추고 HDL를 높이는 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 특히 두 추출물의 복합 투여시 훨씬 높은 시너지 효과를 나타냄을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 전통적으로 오랜 기간 사용되어온 천연물인 복분자와 홍삼이 콜레스테롤 예방에 효과적임을 입증한 결과로 관련 대사증후군의 예방에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
