Abstract

We investigated the neuroprotective effect of an ethanol extract from Asparagus cochinchinensis (AC) against glutamate-induced toxicity in the HT22 hippocampal cell, which is an ideal in vitro model for oxidative stress. The neuroprotective effects of AC in HT22 cells were evaluated by analyzing cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), flow cytometry for cell death types, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondria membrane potential (MMP), and Western blot assays. In the cell death analysis, AC treatment resulted in significantly attenuated glutamate-induced loss of cell viability with a decrease in LDH release. AC treatment also reduced glutamate-induced apoptotic cell death. In the ROS and MMP analysis, AC treatment inhibited the elevation of intracellular ROS induced by glutamate exposure and the disruption of MMP. In oxidative stress-related proteins analysis, AC treatment inhibited the expression of poly ADP ribose polymerase and heme oxygenase-1 by glutamate. These results indicate that AC exerts a significant neuroprotective effect against glutamate-induced hippocampal damage by decreasing ROS production and stabilizing MMP. Thus, AC potentially provides a new strategy for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases.

본 연구는 oxidative stress에 의한 세포죽음 분석의 이상적인 모델로 사용되는 HT22세포를 이용하여 천문동 에탄올추출물의 glutamate에 의한 oxidative toxicity에 대한 신경보호 효과를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), 그리고 세포죽음형태, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) 등에 대한 flow cytometry 및 Western blot분석을 이용하였다. 천문동 추출물의 처리는 cell viability 및 LDH분석에서 glutamate에 의한 cell toxicity를 저하시키며, 특히 apoptotic cell death를 현저히 감소시켰다. ROS 및 MMP분석 결과, 천문동 추출물은 ROS의 형성을 저하시키며 glutamate에 의해 저하된 MMP를 현저히 회복시켜 주었다. 이와 관련된 단백질 발현을 보면, 천문동 추출물은 PARP 및 HO-1의 발현을 억제하였다. 이상의 결과는 천문동 추출물이 HT22해마세포에서 ROS형성저해 및 MMP회복에 의해 세포죽음을 완화시켜 보호작용을 하는 것으로 사료되며 oxidative toxicity관련 질환에 적용 가능할 것으로 보여 진다.
