Abstract

Lespedeza cuneata G. Don is an edible perennial herb used in traditional Korean medicine. We investigated the anti-proliferative properties and mechanism of L. cuneata extract. The ethanolic extract of L. cuneata dose-and time-dependently inhibited human colorectal cancer cell proliferation. A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to test the effect of the extract on proliferation of HT-29 colorectal cancer cells. The extract inhibited HT-29 cell proliferation with an $IC_{50}$ value of $554.26{\pm}8.81{\mu}g/mL$. L. cuneata extract suppressed production of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$. Apoptosis was evaluated by analysis of DNA fragmentation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, caspase-3 activity, and protein expression of pro-apoptotic (Bax) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2). Our results demonstrated that the extract induced DNA fragmentation and characteristic morphological changes associated with apoptosis in HT-29 colorectal cancer cells. The extract also time- and dose-dependently up-regulated expression of the Bax and down-regulated expression of the Bcl-2. Furthermore, the extract dose- and time-dependently enhanced caspase-3 activity. Our findings provide evidence that L. cuneata extract may mediate its anti-proliferative effect via modulation of apoptosis.

본 연구에서는 야관문 에탄올 추출물의 인체 대장암세포 성장억제 효능 및 그 기전을 연구하였다. 야관문 에탄올 추출물을 0, 200, 400, $600{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 48시간 처리하여 암세포 증식억제 효과를 측정한 결과 농도 의존적으로 감소하는 것으로 확인하였다. HT-29 세포에 대한 야관문 추출물의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 $554.26{\pm}8.81{\mu}g/mL$로 확인되었다. 또한 야관문 에탄올 추출물을 처리한 HT-29 세포에 대한 세포 성장 억제 기전을 확인한 결과 pro-caspase 3의 발현이 감소함에 따라 PARP의 분절 및 DNA 분절을 확인하고 anti-apoptotic단백질인 Bcl-2를 감소시켰으며 pro-apoptotic 단백질인 Bax의 수준을 증가시키는 것으로 확인하였다. 염증 관련 유전자 $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 그리고 그의 전사인자인 $NF-{\kappa}B$는 야관문 에탄올 추출물 처리농도에 의존적으로 감소하는 것으로 확인하였고 유전자 SIRT1의 발현량도 증가하는 것으로 확인하였다. 그 결과 야관문 에탄올 추출물 처리에 따라서 HT-29의 세포 성장억제가 확인되어 apoptosis를 유도하는 것으로 확인되었고, 이러한 연구 결과는 야관문이 기능성 소재로서 기초적 데이터베이스로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 앞으로 더욱더 야관문의 질병에 대한 효능 및 기전연구가 지속하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.
