Abstract

Sucrose (suc) is a disaccharide that consists of glucose (glu) and fructose (fru). It is a carbohydrate source that acts as a nutrient molecule and a molecular signal that regulates gene expression and alters metabolites. This study aimed to evaluate whether suc-specific signaling induces an increase in bioactive compounds by exogenous suc absorption via roots or whether other factors, such as osmotic stress or biotic stress, are involved. To compare the osmotic stress induced by suc treatment, 4-week-old cultured mugwort plants were subjected to Hoagland nutrient solution with 10 mM, 30 mM, and 50 mM of suc or mannitol (man) for 3 days. Shoot fresh weight in suc and man treatments was not significantly different from the control. Both man and suc treatments increased the content of bioactive compounds in mugwort, but they displayed different enhancement patterns compared to the suc treatments. Mugwort extract treated with suc 50 mM effectively protected HepG2 liver cells damaged by ethanol and t-BHP. To compare the biotic stress induced by suc treatment, 3-week-old mugwort plants were subjected to microorganism and/or suc 30 mM with Hoagland nutrient solution. Microorganisms and/or suc 30 mM treatments showed no difference about the shoot fresh weight. However, sugar content in mugwort treated with suc 30 mM and microorganism with suc 30 mM treatment was significantly higher than that of the control. Suc 30 mM and microorganism with suc 30 mM were effective in enhancing bioactive compounds than microorganism treatment. These results suggest that mugwort plants can absorb exogenous suc via roots and the enhancement of bioactive compounds by suc treatment may result not from osmotic stress or biotic stress because of microorganism, but by suc-specific signaling.

자당(suc)은 포도당(glu)과 과당(fru)으로 구성된 이당류로, 식물에서 양분으로 작용하여 탄수화물 공급을 공급하는 분자일 뿐만 아니라, 신호 분자로서도 작용하여 당 특이적 신호전달을 유도하고 유전자 발현과 대사물질을 변화시킨다. 본 연구에서는 쑥에서 생리활성물질의 증진이 뿌리를 통한 자당 흡수로 인한 당 특이적 신호전달로 인한 것인지 아니면 삼투 또는 생물학적 스트레스와 같은 다른 요인으로 인해 유도된 것인지를 확인하고자 수행되었다. 삼투 스트레스와의 비교를 위해 삽목을 통해 발근된 쑥 묘를 정식 4주 후 3일간 만니톨(man)과 suc을 3가지 농도로(10mM, 30mM, 50mM) 호글랜드 양액과 함께 처리하였다. 3일간의 man과 suc 처리는 쑥의 지상부 생체중에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 그리고 항산화도는 man과 suc 처리구에서 서로 다른 증진 패턴을 보였으며, suc 처리가 man로 유도된 삼투 스트레스와는 다른 기작으로 생리활성물질을 증진시키는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, suc 50mM 처리된 쑥 추출물은 에탄올로 유도된 알코올 자극과 t-BHP로 유도된 산화 스트레스에 대해 각 1.7배, 1.6배 높은 HepG2 cell 보호 효과를 나타냈다. suc처리와 생물학적 스트레스의 비교를 위해 suc 30mM 처리된 용액에서 배양하여 미생물을 얻은 후 이를 suc 30mM과 같이 또는 미생물 만을 정식 후 3주된 쑥에 3일간 양액과 함께 처리하였다. 처리 3일 차에 지상부 생체중의 변화 없이 당 함량이 미생물 처리 여부와 상관없이 suc 처리구들에서 유의적으로 대조구와 미생물 처리에 비해 증가하였다. 또한, 총 페놀 함량과 항산화도 역시 suc 30mM과 suc 와 미생물 혼합 처리구에서 미생물 처리구에 비해 증가하였다. 따라서, 양액 내 suc 처리로 인한 생리활성물질의 증진이 부수적인 스트레스에 의한 것이 아닌, suc 신호전달 효과임을 확인하였다. 본 실험은, 수경재배에서 뿌리를 통한 자당의 신호전달 효과로 인한 생리활성물질의 증진이 유도된다는 가능성을 제시한다.
