Abstract

Purpose: The present study was conducted to reveal the correlation of structural denaturation and decrease of enzyme activity when the antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were repeatedly exposed to UV-B, and further investigate whether the denaturation and inactivation of those enzymes can be effectively blocked by using UV-inhibitory RGP lens. Methods: Each enzyme solution was prepared from the standardized SOD and CAT, and repeatedly exposed to UV-B of 312 nm for 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours a day over 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days. Structural denaturation of SOD and CAT induced by repeat UV-B irradiation was confirmed by the electrophoretic analysis, and their enzyme activity was determined by the colorimetric assay using the proper assay kit. At that time, the change in structure and activity of the antioxidant enzymes directly exposed to UV-B was compared to the case that UV-B was blocked by UV-inhibitory RGP lens. Results: SOD exposed repeatedly to UV-B showed the polymerization pattern in the electrophoretic analysis when it repeatedly exposed for 30 min a day, however, the change of its activity was less than 10%. On the other hand, CAT repeatedly exposed to UV-B reduced size and density of the electrophoretic band which indicated a structure denaturation, and its activity was significantly decreased. In the case that the repeat exposure time was longer, CAT activity was completely lost even though some enzyme band occurred in the electrphoretic analysis. In addition, the degeneration of CAT due to UV-B irradiation was inhibited to some extent by using RGP lens with a UV-B blocking of 63.7%, however, it was not completely inhibited. Conclusions: From these results, it was revealed that the structural denaturation of antioxidative enzymes was not perfectly correlated with the reduction in enzyme activity according to the type of enzyme. It is recommended to minimize the exposure time to UV when wearing contact lens, or wear the contact lenses having UV blocking rate of the FDA Class I blocker or the sunglasses having equivalent UV-blocking rate for reducing the damage of antioxidative enzymes induced by UV.

목적: 본 연구는 안구에 존재하는 항산화효소인 superoxide dismutase(SOD)와 catalase(CAT)가 UV-B에 반복적으로 노출되었을 때 유발되는 구조변성 및 활성저하의 상관관계를 밝히며, 자외선 차단 RGP렌즈의 사용으로 효소의 변성과 활성저하가 효율적으로 차단되는가를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 방법: SOD와 CAT의 표준품으로 각각의 효소용액을 제조하고 하루 30분, 1시간 및 2시간씩 312 nm의 UV-B에 1, 2, 3, 4 및 5일 동안 반복적으로 노출시켰다. 이 때 UV-B에 직접 노출시킨 항산화효소의 구조 및 활성변화를 자외선 차단기능이 있는 RGP렌즈로 UV-B를 차단시킨 경우와 비교하였다. UV-B 반복노출에 따른 SOD와 CAT의 구조변성은 전기영동분석으로 확인하였으며, 이들 효소활성은 분석키트를 이용하여 비색분석법으로 측정하였다. 결과: UV-B에 반복노출된 SOD는 일일 30분 조사조건으로 반복노출되었을 때에도 전기영동분석에서 효소다중화(polymerization)가 관찰되었으나 활성의 변화는 10% 이내로 나타났다. 반면 UV-B에 반복노출된 CAT은 전기영동 시 효소밴드크기나 진하기가 감소하여 구조변성이 나타났음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 반복노출시간이 긴 경우 CAT은 전기영동분석에서 효소밴드를 보임에도 불구하고 그 활성은 완전히 소실되었다. 또한 UV-B 조사로 인한 CAT의 변성은 63.7%의 UV-B 차단기능을 가진 RGP렌즈의 사용으로 어느 정도 억제되었으나 완전히 억제되는 것은 아니었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 UV-B 반복노출에 따른 항산화효소의 구조변성은 그 종류에 따라 효소활성의 감소정도와 반드시 일치하는 것은 아님을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 자외선으로 인한 항산화효소의 손상을 막기 위하여서는 콘택트렌즈를 착용한 상태에서 자외선 노출시간을 최소화하거나, FDA Class I 차단제에 해당하는 UV 차단율을 가지는 콘택트렌즈를 착용 또는 이에 상응하는 UV차단율을 가지는 선글라스를 덧착용할 것을 권장한다.
