Abstract

${\beta}$-glucan is a constituent of the cell wall of fungi, yeast and plants. It plays an important role in the immune system such as activation of immunocyte, release of pro-inflammatory and anti-cancer effect. The immune system maintains a healthy immune homeostasis. However, when pathogenic substances enter the body, immune homeostasis can break down and disease can be triggered. Therefore, we studied a substance that regulates immune homeostasis. The purpose of the study we demonstrated whether the ${\beta}$-glucan can be applied to the immune-modulation effects in human monocytic THP-1 cells. ${\beta}$-glucan was incubated in THP-1 cells at various concentrations. The $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA expression and protein levels were analyzed by ELISA and Real-time PCR. Additionally, the expression of MAPKs (p38 and JNK), $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 were analyzed by western blot. ${\beta}$-glucan enhanced the production of $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA expression and protein levels in human monocytic THP-1 cells. In addition, activation of MAPKs (p38 and JNK) and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 induced by ${\beta}$-glucan were increased. The study suggests that ${\beta}$-glucan contributes to immune-stimulation effect by production $TNF-{\alpha}$ in human monocytic THP-1 cells, and that MAPKs and $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 are involved in the process. Synthetically, we have suggested ${\beta}$-glucan may be improved to immune system effect in human monocytic THP-1 cells.

${\beta}$-glucan은 균류의 세포벽, 귀리, 효모, 식물의 구성물질로, 면역 세포의 활성, 전염증성 사이토카인 분비, 항암효능과 같은 면역 체계에 중요한 역할을 한다. 면역계는 건강한 몸 상태의 항상성을 유지한다. 하지만, 병원성 물질이 신체 내로 들어오게 되면 면역 항상성이 무너지게 되고, 질병이 유발될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 ${\beta}$-glucan이 인간 단핵구 THP-1 세포에서 면역 조절 효과에 이용될 수 있는지를 확인하였다. ${\beta}$-glucan은 THP-1 세포에 다양한 농도를 처리하여 배양하였으며, $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA 발현과 단백질 수준을 Real-time PCR와 ELISA을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 전사 인자 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50와 MAPKs 신호 기작 활성을 western blot을 이용하여 분석하였다. ${\beta}$-glucan으로 유도된 MAPKs와 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 활성이 증가하였다. ${\beta}$-glucan이 인간 단핵구 THP-1 세포에서 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 생성에 의해 면역 증강 효과를 나타내며, 이는 MAPKs와 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 신호 전달을 통해 나타내는 것을 제시한다. 종합적으로, 본 연구는 ${\beta}$-glucan이 인간 단핵구 THP-1 세포를 통해 면역 체계를 향상시킬 것이라고 사료된다.
