Description
本発明は、炎症予防剤に関し、詳細には、血中遊離脂肪酸低下作用又は炎症性サイトカイン発現抑制作用による炎症予防作用が有効性を示す、炎症予防剤に関する。本発明が予防する「炎症」は、主として、脂肪で産生する炎症性サイトカイン及び遊離脂肪酸が健常時より有意に多い状態を意味する。この「炎症」により、炎症性サイトカインが全身に回り、他の臓器の炎症シグナルを活性化して動脈硬化やがんを誘導するリスクが高まるとされている。また、この「炎症」により、脂肪組織とマクロファージのパラクリン調節系が継続して発生し、脂肪組織を増悪する「悪循環」が形成されることから、この「炎症」は慢性的な炎症であると言える。 The present invention relates to an inflammation preventive agent, and in particular, relates to an inflammation preventive agent that exhibits an effective anti-inflammatory effect by reducing blood free fatty acids or suppressing inflammatory cytokine expression. “Inflammation” prevented by the present invention mainly means a state in which inflammatory cytokines and free fatty acids produced in fat are significantly higher than normal. This "inflammation" is said to increase the risk that inflammatory cytokines will spread throughout the body and activate inflammatory signals in other organs to induce arteriosclerosis and cancer. In addition, this “inflammation” causes the paracrine regulation system of adipose tissue and macrophages to continue to develop, forming a “vicious circle” that exacerbates the adipose tissue. Therefore, this “inflammation” is a chronic inflammation. I can say that.
炎症は、種々の外因性又は内因性の組織障害刺激に対する生体防御応答の1つである。近年話題のメタボリックシンドローム(内臓脂肪症候群)の主要な機序は、インスリン抵抗性、腹部肥満、炎症と考えられており、内臓脂肪が蓄積し、脂肪細胞が大きくなると、マクロファージ等の免疫細胞が集まって慢性的な炎症が起こり、この炎症が動脈硬化や糖尿病等につながるおそれがある。また、肥満により肥大した脂肪細胞からは遊離脂肪酸が分泌され、これがインスリン抵抗性を生じさせると考えられており、血液中の遊離脂肪酸量の増加は、炎症性疾患の発症・進展に深く関与している。 Inflammation is one of the biodefense responses to various exogenous or endogenous tissue damage stimuli. In recent years, the main mechanisms of metabolic syndrome (visceral fat syndrome) are considered to be insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, and inflammation. When visceral fat accumulates and fat cells grow, immune cells such as macrophages gather. Chronic inflammation may occur, and this inflammation may lead to arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and the like. Moreover, free fatty acids are secreted from fat cells enlarged due to obesity, which is thought to cause insulin resistance, and the increase in the amount of free fatty acids in the blood is deeply involved in the onset and progression of inflammatory diseases. ing.
炎症性疾患の多くは、生体内における炎症性サイトカインの制御異常が関連していると考えられている。炎症性サイトカインは、炎症を促進するサイトカインの総称で、IL-6、IL1-β等が炎症性サイトカインに分類される。炎症性サイトカインは、各種刺激によって血球から産生されるが、一方で、炎症を抑制する働きを有する抗炎症性サイトカイン(IL-10、IL-4等)も血球から産生され、健常時には、両サイトカインの産生量が適宜調整されているため、生体内における炎症反応は過剰になることなく正常範囲内に制御されている。 Many inflammatory diseases are considered to be associated with abnormal regulation of inflammatory cytokines in vivo. Inflammatory cytokine is a general term for cytokines that promote inflammation, and IL-6, IL1-β and the like are classified as inflammatory cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines are produced from blood cells by various stimuli. On the other hand, anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-4, etc.) that suppress inflammation are also produced from blood cells. Therefore, the inflammatory reaction in the living body is controlled within the normal range without becoming excessive.
また近年、脂肪細胞、特に内臓脂肪と動脈硬化性疾患との関連が明らかになってきている。脂肪細胞は重量で身体の10%以上を占める巨大な組織であり、中性脂肪としてエネルギーを貯蔵するのみならず、アディポサイトカイン(脂肪組織由来生理活性物質)を分泌することにより、生体ホメオスタシスの維持に積極的に参与していると考えられている。特許文献1には、アディポサイトカインの一種であるアディポネクチン(Adpn)の分泌促進作用と脂肪前駆細胞の分化抑制作用及び脂肪細胞の脂肪蓄積抑制との関係、並びに、抗肥満関連遺伝子群(PPARγ、Adpn、Leptin、aP2)の遺伝子発現変動及び血中Adpnと中性脂肪との関係が示唆されており、アディポネクチンの分泌を誘導することが動脈硬化、肥満、糖尿病等の予防・治療に有効であること、及び、特定の植物から抽出された特定成分がAdpnの分泌を誘導することが開示されており、該特定成分として、レゾルシノール誘導体を含有するものが開示されている。
In recent years, the relationship between adipocytes, particularly visceral fat, and arteriosclerotic diseases has become clear. Adipose cells are a huge tissue that occupies more than 10% of the body by weight. In addition to storing energy as neutral fat, adipocytokine (adipose tissue-derived bioactive substance) is secreted to maintain biological homeostasis. It is believed that they are actively participating.
また特許文献2には、合成されたアルキルレゾルシノール及びその塩が活性酸素除去能を有することが開示されており、これを用いた皮膚外用剤も開示されている。尚、アルキルレゾルシノールに関して特許文献2に開示されているのは、抗酸化作用に関するものであり、炎症性サイトカインが関連する炎症に関しては記載されていない。 Patent Document 2 discloses that the synthesized alkylresorcinol and a salt thereof have an ability to remove active oxygen, and a skin external preparation using the same is also disclosed. In addition, what is indicated by patent document 2 regarding the alkyl resorcinol is related with an antioxidant effect | action, and is not described regarding the inflammation which an inflammatory cytokine relates.

<血中遊離脂肪酸低下作用及び炎症性サイトカイン発現抑制作用の確認試験>
MCP-1は単球・リンパ球の遊走を引き起こすケモカインであり、脂肪組織へのマクロファージの浸潤を誘導している。脂肪組織へ浸潤したマクロファージがTNF-αを産生し、それが脂肪細胞に作用すると、遊離脂肪酸の過剰な放出が誘導される。誘導された遊離脂肪酸がマクロファージに浸潤すると、TNF-α産生を更に亢進する。このようにMCP-1とTNF-αと遊離脂肪酸とによって形成される、脂肪組織とマクロファージとの相互作用(パラクリン調節系)が悪循環を形成し、慢性炎症が発症する。その結果、IL-6やIL-1βといった炎症性サイトカインが脂肪組織から産生され、血液に入って全身に送られる。これらが動脈硬化やがんを誘導するリスクを増強させている。炎症予防剤の摂取が脂肪組織の慢性炎症に与える影響を確認するために、実験用マウスを複数匹用い、これらを普通食摂取群と、高脂肪食摂取群と、高脂肪+炎症予防剤摂取群との3群に分け、各群の血中遊離脂肪酸量、及び炎症性サイトカインの遺伝子発現量(MCP-1量、IL-6量、IL-1β量及びTNF-α量)をそれぞれ測定した。確認試験のより具体的な手順は次の通り。
<Confirmation test of blood free fatty acid lowering action and inflammatory cytokine expression inhibitory action>
MCP-1 is a chemokine that causes monocyte / lymphocyte migration, and induces macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue. Macrophages that infiltrate adipose tissue produce TNF-α, which acts on adipocytes, leading to excessive release of free fatty acids. When induced free fatty acids infiltrate macrophages, TNF-α production is further enhanced. Thus, the interaction (paracrine regulatory system) between adipose tissue and macrophages formed by MCP-1, TNF-α and free fatty acids forms a vicious circle, and chronic inflammation develops. As a result, inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-1β are produced from adipose tissue and enter the blood and sent to the whole body. These increase the risk of inducing arteriosclerosis and cancer. In order to confirm the effects of intake of inflammation preventive agents on chronic inflammation of adipose tissue, several experimental mice were used, and these were consumed with normal diet intake group, high fat diet intake group, and high fat + inflammation preventive agent intake Divided into 3 groups, each group measured the amount of free fatty acid in blood and the expression level of inflammatory cytokine genes (MCP-1, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α). . The specific procedure for the confirmation test is as follows.
固形飼料として、普通食としてD12450B(リサーチダイエット社製)、高脂肪食としてD12492(リサーチダイエット社製)を用意し、また別途、高脂肪食であるD12492に実施例の炎症予防剤(特定アルキルレゾルシノール混合物)を0.4質量%添加したもの(ARs添加高脂肪食)を用意し、これらを滅菌した。C57BL/6系統のマウス(16週齢の雄性、日本エスエルシー株式会社)を明期12時間、暗期12時間の明暗サイクル下(0:00点灯、12:00消灯)で3週間馴化飼育した後、これらのマウスを普通食摂餌群(6ケージ)と、高脂肪食摂餌群(6ケージ)と、ARs添加高脂肪食摂餌群(6ケージ)との3群に分け、3週間自由摂食させた。自由摂食期間終了後、マウスを解剖し、血液及び精巣周辺の脂肪組織をサンプリングし、血中遊離脂肪酸量並びにMCP-1量、IL-6量、IL-1β量及びTNF-α量をそれぞれ測定した。血中遊離脂肪酸量の測定は、Free Fatty Acid Quantification Kit(BioVision K612-100)を用い、プロトコール通りに実施した。MCP-1、IL-6、IL-1β及びTNF-α量の遺伝子発現解析は下記解析法により行った。 As a solid feed, D12450B (manufactured by Research Diet) is prepared as a normal food, and D12492 (manufactured by Research Diet) is prepared as a high-fat food. What added 0.4 mass% (mixture) (ARs addition high fat food) was prepared, and these were sterilized. C57BL / 6 strain mice (16-week-old male, Japan SLC Co., Ltd.) were bred for 3 weeks under a light / dark cycle of 12 hours light period and 12 hours dark period (lights on at 0:00, lights off at 12:00). Thereafter, these mice were divided into three groups, a normal diet group (6 cages), a high fat diet group (6 cages), and an ARs-added high fat diet group (6 cages) for 3 weeks. Ad libitum. At the end of the free feeding period, the mouse was dissected, the blood and the fat tissue around the testis were sampled, and the amount of free fatty acids in the blood and the amounts of MCP-1, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were measured. It was measured. Measurement of the amount of free fatty acid in blood was carried out according to the protocol using the Free Fatty Acid Quantification Kit (BioVision K612-100). Gene expression analysis of MCP-1, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α levels was performed by the following analysis method.

図1から明らかなように、高脂肪食摂餌群は、普通食摂餌群(コントロール)に比べて、血中遊離脂肪酸量が有意に増加しており、このことから、高脂肪食の摂取が、血中遊離脂肪酸量の増加を促進し、遊離脂肪酸が脂肪以外の組織でも炎症シグナルを活性化し、これに起因する炎症性疾患(例えば慢性の炎症性疾患である動脈硬化)を引き起こす原因となることが明らかである。しかし、このような炎症性疾患の原因となり得る高脂肪食に実施例の炎症予防剤を所定量添加した飼料を摂餌した群(ARs)は、高脂肪食摂餌群に比べて血中遊離脂肪酸量が少なく、コントロールのそれと略同レベルであった。これにより、実施例の炎症予防剤による血中遊離脂肪酸低下作用が確認され、該炎症予防剤により、他の臓器での炎症シグナルの活性化が予防された。 As is clear from FIG. 1, the amount of free fatty acid in the blood was significantly increased in the high-fat diet group compared to the normal diet group (control). However, it promotes an increase in the amount of free fatty acids in the blood, and free fatty acids activate inflammatory signals in tissues other than fat and cause inflammatory diseases (for example, arteriosclerosis, which is a chronic inflammatory disease). It is clear that However, the group (ARs) that fed a high-fat diet that could cause such inflammatory diseases with a feed in which a predetermined amount of the inflammation preventive agent of the example was added was more free in the blood than the high-fat diet group. The amount of fatty acid was low, almost the same as that of the control. Thereby, the blood free fatty acid lowering action by the inflammation preventive agent of the Example was confirmed, and the inflammation preventive agent prevented activation of inflammatory signals in other organs.
また、図2及び図3から明らかなように、高脂肪食摂餌群は、普通食摂餌群(コントロール)に比べて、炎症性サイトカインであるMCP-1及びIL-6の発現量が有意に増加しており、このことから、高脂肪食の摂取が、炎症性サイトカイン発現を上昇させ、炎症性サイトカインが脂肪以外の組織でも炎症シグナルを活性化し、これに起因する炎症性疾患を引き起こす原因となることが明らかである。しかし、ARsは、高脂肪食摂餌群に比べて炎症性サイトカイン発現量が少なく、コントロールのそれと略同レベルであった。これにより、実施例の炎症予防剤による炎症性サイトカイン発現抑制作用が確認され、該炎症予防剤により、他の臓器での炎症シグナルの活性化が予防された。また、IL-1β及びTNF-αにおいては統計的な有意差は得られなかったものの、図4及び図5から明らかなように、同じく炎症性サイトカインであるMCP-1及びIL-6と同じ挙動を示した。 As is clear from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the high-fat diet-fed group has significant expression levels of inflammatory cytokines MCP-1 and IL-6 compared to the normal-fed diet group (control) As a result, ingestion of a high-fat diet increases inflammatory cytokine expression and causes inflammatory cytokines to activate inflammatory signals in tissues other than fat and cause inflammatory diseases resulting therefrom. It is clear that However, ARs had less inflammatory cytokine expression than the high-fat diet group, and were at the same level as that of the control. Thereby, the inflammatory cytokine expression inhibitory effect by the inflammation preventive agent of an Example was confirmed, and activation of the inflammatory signal in another organ was prevented by this inflammation preventive agent. In addition, although no statistically significant difference was obtained in IL-1β and TNF-α, the same behavior as MCP-1 and IL-6, which are also inflammatory cytokines, is evident from FIGS. 4 and 5. showed that.
尚、実施例の炎症予防剤について、下記解析法により、アディポネクチン分泌促進作用の有無を調べた。その結果を図6に示す。図6中の「コントロール」、「高脂肪食」及び「ARs」はそれぞれ上記の通りである。図6から明らかなように、3つの群の間でアディポネクチン分泌量に有意な差は見られず、このことから、実施例の炎症予防剤はアディポネクチン分泌促進作用を有しておらず、特許文献1に記載の如きアディポネクチン分泌促進剤とは作用効果が異なるものであることが明らかである。 In addition, about the inflammation preventive agent of an Example, the presence or absence of the adiponectin secretion promoting effect was investigated by the following analysis method. The result is shown in FIG. “Control”, “high fat diet”, and “ARs” in FIG. 6 are as described above. As is clear from FIG. 6, there is no significant difference in the amount of adiponectin secreted among the three groups. From this, the inflammation preventive agents of the examples do not have an adiponectin secretion promoting action. It is clear that the effect is different from the adiponectin secretion promoter as described in 1.
<アディポネクチンの遺伝子発現解析法>
上記<MCP-1、IL-6、IL-1β及びTNF-αの遺伝子発現解析法>と同様に、RNA抽出、逆転写反応及びPCR反応を順次実施し、標的遺伝子(Adpn)の発現量を算出した。
