Abstract

Oxidative stress induced by the over-production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain is the most common cause of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of flavonoids and their glycosides, namely kaempferol, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, quercetin, and quercetin-3-β-D-glucoside, against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in the C6 glial cells. The H2O2-treated glial cells exhibited decreased cell viability and increased ROS production when compared with normal cells. However, cells treated with each of the four flavonoids/glycosides demonstrated significantly increased viability and suppressed ROS production when compared with the H2O2-treated control group. These results indicate that flavonoids/glycosides attenuate oxidative stress induced by H2O2 in C6 glial cells. To confirm the protective molecular mechanisms, we measured pro-inflammatory factors such as inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and interleukin-1β. H2O2 treatment was seen to elevate these factors and decrease IκB-α in the C6 glial cells, while the flavonoids/glycosides induced a down-regulation of the pro-inflammatory factors and increased IκB-α, indicating a neuroprotective effects through attenuation of the inflammation. In particular, quercetin and its glycoside showed a higher neuroprotective effect than the kaempferol treatments. These results suggest that these flavonoids and their glycosides could be promising therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases via the attenuation of oxidative stress.

뇌에서 과량의 reactive oxygen species (ROS) 생성에 의해 유발되는 산화적 스트레스는 알츠하이머 질환과 같은 신경퇴행성 질환의 원인으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 kaempferol, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, quercetin, quercetin-3-β-D-glucoside와 같은 flavonoid와 그 배당체의 H2O2 유도 산화적 스트레스에 대한 C6 신경교세포보호 효과를 확인하였다. H2O2만을 처리한 control군은 아무것도 처리하지 않은 normal군에 비해 세포 생존율 감소와 ROS 생성 증가를 통해 C6 신경교세포의 산화적 손상이 유도되었음을 확인하였다. 반면 4가지 flavonoid를 각각 처리한 군의 경우, H2O2를 처리한 control군에 비해 세포 생존율 증가와 ROS 생성 감소를 통해 산화적 손상 억제를 통한 신경교세포 보호 효과를 확인하였다. Flavonoid의 신경교세포 보호 작용 메커니즘을 규명하기 위해, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and interleukine (IL)-1β 등의 염증 관련 단백질 발현을 측정하였다. H2O2를 처리한 control군은 normal군에 비해 iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β 단백질 발현 증가와 IκB-α 발현 감소를 통해 신경교세포의 산화적 손상으로 인한 염증 반응을 확인하였다. 반면, 4가지 flavonoid를 각각 처리한 군의 경우 iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β 단백질 발현 감소와 IκB-α 발현 증가를 나타내어, 염증 반응 개선을 통한 신경교세포 보호 효과를 확인하였다. 특히, quercetin과 그 배당체인 quercetin-3-β-D-glucoside를 처리한 군은 kaempferol과 그 배당체인 kaempferol-3-O-glucoside를 처리한 군에 비해 우수한 신경교세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 본 연구는 4가지 flavonoid가 신경교세포에서 산화적 스트레스 억제를 통해 신경퇴행성 질환을 예방 및 치료할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
