Abstract

Traditionally, the larvae of Allomyrina dichotoma (AD), a species of the rhinoceros beetle, have been widely used for their antidiabetic, antihepatofibrotic, antineoplastic, and antiobesity effects. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization has reported on the possibility of using edible insects in human dietary supplements in the future. However, despite the growing interest in insect-based bio-active products, the biological activities of these products have rarely been studied. Previously, we reported that AD larvae inhibit the in vitro differentiation of adipocytes via transcription factor downregulation. In this study, our objective was to evaluate the effects of a hot-water extract of AD larvae on allergy and inflammation. To investigate the inhibitory effect of the extract on allergic reactions, we measured the levels of ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$, tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) after activation of RBL-2H3 cells using Compound 48/80. In addition, the inhibitory effect of the extract on inflammation was determined using Raw 264.7 cells after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. The extract significantly inhibited the ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-4, and COX-2 levels in RBL-2H3 cells. Furthermore, it effectively inhibited the inflammatory cytokine IL-6, nitric oxide, and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in LPS-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. These results suggest that AD larval extract can be potentially developed as an antiallergic and anti-inflammatory therapeutic agent.

본 연구에서는 장수풍뎅이 유충 추출물을 이용하여 알레르기 및 염증 반응에 미치는 효과를 확인하였다. 장수풍뎅이 유충 추출물의 항알레르기와 항염증 효능은 Compound 48/80에 의해 활성화된 비만세포(RBL-2H3)와 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)로 활성화된 대식세포(Raw 264.7)로부터 분비 또는 발현되는 ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-4, IL-6, COX-2, nitric oxide, 및 iNOS를 측정하여 관찰하였다. 비만세포에 장수풍뎅이 유충 추출물과 Compound 48/80을 함께 처리한 경우 비만세포의 탈과립에 의해서 분비되는 ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$의 양이 현저히 감소하였으며 $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-4, COX-2의 발현 또한 효과적으로 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 LPS에 의해 활성화된 대식세포(Raw 264.7)는 장수풍뎅이 유충 추출물 처리에 의해 염증반응인자인 IL-6와 nitric oxide의 분비량이 현저히 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 장수풍뎅이 유충 추출물이 알레르기와 염증반응의 원인 물질인 ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ 억제 효과뿐만 아니라, 염증 cytokine의 발현을 저해하는 것으로 보아 알레르기와 염증 질환의 예방과 치료에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
