Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the effects of Sargassum horneri extracts on palmitic acid (PA)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in HepG2 cells. Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with varying concentrations of S. horneri extract or PA, and the cell viability was measured by water soluble tetrazolium salts analysis. The effective induction of ER stress and the effects of S. horneri were investigated through an examination of the ER stress-related genes, such as activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), X-box binding protein (XBP1s), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The expression and activation levels of unfolded protein response (UPR) associated proteins, such as inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha submit (eIF2α), and CHOP were examined by western blot analysis. Results: The treatment with PA increased the expression of UPR associated genes significantly and induced ER stress in a 12-hour treatment. Subsequent treatment with S. horneri reduced mRNA expression of ATF4, GRP78, and XBP1s. In addition, the protein levels of phosphate (p)-IRE1α, p-elF2α, and CHOP were also reduced by a treatment with S. horneri. An analysis of sirtuin (SIRT) mRNA expression in the S. horneri and PA-treated HepG2 cells showed that S. horneri increased the levels of SIRT2, SIRT6, and SIRT7, which indicates a possible role in reducing the expression of ER stress-related genes. Conclusion: These data indicate that S. horneri can exert an inhibitory effect on ER stress caused by PA and highlight its potential as an agent for managing various ER stress-related diseases.

본 연구에서는 괭생이 모자반 추출물의 소포체 스트레스 억제 효능을 연구하기 위하여 HepG2 간세포에 PA를 처리하여 소포체 스트레스를 유발한 후 추출물을 처리하여 UPR 관련 인자 발현 정도를 측정하였다. PA 750 μM 처리 시 UPR 관련 인자 (p-IRE1α, p-eIF2α, CHOP)의 단백질 발현이 가장 높게 나타나 소포체 스트레스를 효과적으로 유도함을 확인하였고 PA 750 μM를 12시간 처리 시 UPR 관련 인자 (p-IRE1α, p-eIF2α, CHOP)의 단백질 발현이 가장 높음을 확인하였다. 괭생이 모자반 처리 시 PA에 의해 상향 조절된 UPR 관련 인자의 mRNA 및 단백질 발현이 감소하여 PA로 유도된 소포체 스트레스에 대한 억제 효능이 있음을 보여주었다. 또한, 괭생이 모자반은 SIRT2, SIRT6 및 SIRT7의 mRNA의 발현을 증가시킴으로써 괭생이 모자반의 소포체 스트레스 억제 효능이 SIRT에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 괭생이 모자반이 다양한 소포체 스트레스 관련 질병의 예방과 치료에 활용가능성이 있음을 시사한다.
