Description
본 발명은 후코이단을 포함하는 우울증 예방 또는 치료용 조성물에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 후코이단을 유효성분으로 포함하는 우울증 예방 또는 치료용 약학 조성물, 및 우울증 예방 또는 개선용 건강기능식품에 관한 것이다.
The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating depression including fucoidan, and more particularly, to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating depression comprising fucoidan as an active ingredient, and a health functional food for preventing or improving depression.
우울증은 평생 유병률이 상대적으로 높고 관련된 장애가 상당하기 때문에 인간의 전 세계적인 문제이며, 종종 수면 장애, 낮은 자존감, 죄책감의 감정, 그리고 자살 충동에 사로잡히는 경향과 결부된다. 따라서 이 질병은 복잡한 장애로 간주되고, 그것의 근본적인 발병과정 메커니즘은 불분명하게 남아 있다. 또한, 우울증은 마음의 감기라고 불릴 만큼 우리 곁에 가까이 있는 질병이지만, 우울증에 걸리게 되면 일상생활이 어려워져 사회, 경제적으로 막대한 손실을 가져오는 질병이다. 게다가 급증하는 사망원인의 한가지인 자살의 60-70%가 우울증이 원인인 만큼 죽음에 이르게 하는 병이기도 하다.Depression is a global problem in humans due to a relatively high lifetime prevalence and significant associated disability, often associated with sleep deprivation, low self-esteem, feelings of guilt, and a tendency to become obsessed with suicidal thoughts. Thus, the disease is considered a complex disorder, and its underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. In addition, depression is a disease that is close to us as it is called a cold of the mind, but depression causes difficulties in everyday life, which is a socially and economically disastrous disease. In addition, 60-70% of suicides, one of the causes of sudden death, are caused by depression, leading to death.
스트레스가 많은 생활사건에 대한 만성 노출은 주요 우울증과 같이 인간의 여러 심리적 또는 무력 조건의 유지 및 발달에 중요한 위험 요소로 작용하고, 뇌 기능에 오래 지속되는 해로운 효과를 유발한다. 이 질환에서 가장 중요한 생리학적, 신경내분비학적, 행동이상은 시상하부 뇌하수체 부신축(hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, HPA)의 과잉활성화 (hyperactivation)이다. 급성 스트레스에 대한 활성화 반응은 항상성을 유지하고 위협의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 생물체의 고유 기능을 강화하는 체계 변경 (systemic alterations)으로 이어진다. 그러나 과도한 스트레스는 뇌 기능과 뒤이어 오는 스트레스원에 대해 적절하게 생리학적 및 행동 반응을 조절하는 능력에 손상을 주어 생리학 측면에서 비정상적인 변화를 유도한다. 만성 스트레스를 가한 여러 동물 연구에서는 시상하부 (hypothalamus), 해마 (hippocampus), 편도체 (amygdala)의 형태학적 변화, 다양한 신경전달물질의 변화, 해마와 혈청의 BDNF(뇌유래 신경영양인자, brain-derived neurotrophic factor) 발현량 변화, 체중 감소, 행동 변화 등을 포함한 시상하부 뇌하수체 부신축 (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, HPA)의 장애를 유발하였다.Chronic exposure to stressful life events is an important risk factor for the maintenance and development of many psychological or impotent conditions in humans, such as major depression, and has long lasting deleterious effects on brain function. The most important physiological, neuro-endocrinological and behavioral abnormalities in this disease are hyperactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). The activation response to acute stress leads to systemic alterations that enhance the native function of the organism in order to maintain homeostasis and minimize the effects of the threat. Excessive stress, however, damages the ability to control physiology and behavioral responses to brain function and subsequent stressors, resulting in abnormal physiological changes. Several animal studies with chronic stress have shown that morphological changes in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, changes in various neurotransmitters, BDNF in the hippocampus and serum, brain-derived neurotrophic induced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), including changes in expression levels, weight loss, and behavioral changes.
이전의 연구에서 우울증과 관련하여 반복된 감금 스트레스에 대한 결과가 보고되어 왔다. 반복된 감금 스트레스 자극에 대한 반응으로 우울증과 같은 증상을 가진 동물 모델은 약물 스크리닝에 하는데 있어서 후보 항우울제 효능을 결정하는 데 유용하게 이용된다. 이에 따라, 다양한 항우울제 개발에 있어서 이의 효능을 확인하는 데에 전임상 실험으로 사용되어 왔다.Previous studies have reported repeated depressive stress related to depression. An animal model with symptoms such as depression in response to repeated restraint stress stimuli is useful in determining candidate antidepressant efficacy in drug screening. Thus, it has been used as a preclinical test to confirm its efficacy in the development of various antidepressants.
한편, 현재 개발되고 있는 항우울제로는 기초 및 임상 연구를 통해 모노아민산화효소 억제제 (monoamine oxidase inhibitors, MAOs), 선택적 세로토닌 재흡수 저해제 (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, SSRIs), 삼환계 항우울제 (tricyclic antidepressants, TCAs)와 같은 여러 항우울제 종류가 개발되고 임상적으로 사용되고 있다. 또한, 상용되는 대표적인 우울증 치료제로는 벤조디아제핀(benzodiazepine). 디아제팜(diazepam), 옥사제팜(oxazepam), 로라제팜(lorazepam), 알프라졸람(alprazolam), 헬라제팜(helazepam), 클로나제팜(clonazepam) 등이 있다. 그러나 대부분의 항우울제는 매우 다양하고 복잡한 우울증 증상에 대해 효과적이지 않으며, 대부분은 심각한 부작용을 유발한다. 그러므로 우울증의 병인의 새로운 이해를 바탕으로 자연 제품 또는 약용 식물을 이용한 새로운 치료 전략이 간절히 필요하다.
The antidepressants currently under development include monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors Have been developed and used clinically. In addition, representative examples of commonly used antidepressants include benzodiazepine. Diazepam, oxazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam, helazepam, clonazepam, and the like. However, most antidepressants are not effective against very diverse and complex depressive symptoms, most of which lead to serious side effects. Therefore, based on a new understanding of the pathogenesis of depression, a new therapeutic strategy using natural products or medicinal plants is urgently needed.
이러한 배경 하에서, 본 발명자들은 우울증의 치료법을 찾기 위해 예의 노력한 결과, 우울증을 유발한 동물 모델에 후코이단을 처리하는 경우 그러한 우울증 증상이 감소함을 확인함으로써, 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다.
Under these circumstances, the present inventors have made intensive efforts to find a cure for depression, and as a result, confirmed that depression symptoms are reduced when fucoidan is administered to an animal model that induces depression, thereby completing the present invention.
본 발명의 하나의 목적은 후코이단을 유효성분으로 포함하는 우울증 예방 또는 치료용 약학 조성물을 제공하는 것이다.It is an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating depression comprising fucoidan as an active ingredient.
본 발명의 다른 하나의 목적은 후코이단을 유효성분으로 포함하는 우울증 예방 또는 개선용 건강기능식품을 제공하는 것이다.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a health functional food for preventing or ameliorating depression comprising fucoidan as an active ingredient.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 하나의 양태로서, 본 발명은 후코이단을 유효성분으로 포함하는 우울증 예방 또는 치료용 약학 조성물을 제공한다.In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating depression comprising fucoidan as an active ingredient.

Fucose) is a substance in which basic sugar and sulfate group are combined. The fucoidans specifically include Sugar Kelp ( Laminaria) saccharina), L. Dizzy Tata (L. digitata), Pacific Sargassum (Fucus distichus , and Cladosiphon okamuranus .
상기 후코이단은 항산화제, 항응고제, 항암제, 항생제, 항염증 활성, 및 의학적 사용을 위한 잠재적 가치 제안 등 다양한 생리학적 및 생물학적 활성을 가지는 것으로 보고되어 왔다. 특히, 최근 몇 년간 항염증 및 항산화 활성이 많은 관심을 모으고 있다. 그러나, 아직까지 후코이단이 우울증을 개선할 수 있는지 여부가 보고된 바 없는바, 본 발명에서는 상기 후코이단이 우울증의 예방, 치료 또는 개선 등에 효과가 있음을 밝혔다.Such fucoidan has been reported to have a variety of physiological and biological activities such as antioxidants, anticoagulants, anticancer agents, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory activity, and potential value proposals for medical use. In particular, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities have attracted much attention in recent years. However, it has not yet been reported whether fucoidan can improve depression. In the present invention, it has been found that fucoidan is effective for preventing, treating or improving depression.
구체적으로, 본 발명의 일 실시예에서는 랫트에 대하여 2주 동안 감금 스트레스를 가하여 우울증 증상을 갖는 우울증 동물 모델을 제조하였으며, 이를 이용하여 체중 변화 측정, 혈청 코르티코스테론(CORT) 측정, 강제 수영 부하 실험과 같은 행동 실험, 부신피질 자극 호르몬 방출인자(CRF) 및 티로신수산화효소(TH)의 면역반응성 검사, 및 해마에서의 BDNF mRNA의 발현 측정과 같은 실험을 통하여 우울증에 따른 다양한 인자에 대한 확인을 하였다.Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a depressive animal model having depressive symptoms was prepared by applying restraint stress to rats for 2 weeks. Using this, a weight change measurement, a serum corticosterone (CORT) measurement, a forced swimming load Experiments such as behavioral tests, immunoreactivity testing of adrenocorticotropic hormone releasing factor (CRF) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), and measurement of BDNF mRNA expression in the hippocampus were used to identify various factors associated with depression Respectively.
그 결과, 후코이단을 투여한 그룹에서는 모든 실시예에 걸쳐서 감금 스트레스에 의한 우울증 동물 모델 그룹에서 악화되는 증상을 완화시키는 것을 확인하였다. 구체적으로, 후코이단의 투여는 우울증에 의한 체중 감소를 완화시키고, 혈청 CORT 함량 증가가 저해되었으며, 강제 수영 부하 실험에서는 우울증에 의해 증가된 부동 시간이 감소하고, 감소된 등반 행동 시간이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 우울증에 의해 증가된 부신피질 자극 호르몬 방출인자(CRF) 및 티로신수산화효소(TH)의 발현이 회복되어 감소하며, 해마에서의 BDNF mRNA 역시 우울증에 의해 감소하나 후코이단의 투여 그룹에서는 증가되는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.As a result, it was confirmed that the group administered with fucoidan alleviated the symptoms deteriorating in the group of depressed animal models caused by restraint stress throughout all the examples. Specifically, the administration of fucoidan alleviated weight loss due to depression, inhibited the increase of serum CORT content, and the forced swimming load test showed that the immobility time increased by depression and the decreased climbing behavior time increased Respectively. In addition, the expression of adrenocorticotropic hormone releasing factor (CRF) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), which is increased by depression, is restored and decreased, and the hippocampal BDNF mRNA is also decreased by depression, but increased in the fucoidan administration group .
이러한 일련의 결과를 통하여, 감금 스트레스에 의해 유도된 우울증에 대하여, 후코이단이 항우울 효과가 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.These results show that fucoidan has an antidepressant effect on depression induced by restraint stress.
또한, 상기 실험 전반에 걸쳐서 양성 대조군으로써 기존에 항우울제로 시판되고 있는 세로토닌 재흡수억제제인 플록세틴(fluoxetine, FLX)을 사용하였으며, 후코이단을 50mg/kg 투여한 STR + FCN50 그룹의 결과가 STR + FLX 그룹과 전체적으로 유사함을 확인함으로써, 본 발명의 후코이단이 기존의 항우울제와 비교하여 전혀 뒤지지 않는 효과를 가짐을 알 수 있었다.
As a positive control, fluoxetine (FLX), a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, has been used as a positive control, and the result of the STR + FCN50 group administered with 50 mg / kg of fucoidan is STR + FLX The inventors of the present invention found that the fucoidan of the present invention has an effect that is not inferior to the conventional antidepressants at all.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and that the scope of the present invention is not construed as being limited by these embodiments.
실시예Example 1: 재료 준비 1: Material preparation
양성대조군인 플록세틴(fluoxetine, FLX)과 실험군인 후코이단(fucoidan, FCN)은 시그마 케미컬 (Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louise, MO, USA))로부터 구입하였다.The positive control group fluoxetine (FLX) and the experimental group fucoidan (FCN) were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, Mo., USA).
실험동물로서, 260 내지 280g의 수컷 성인 SD(Sprague-Dawley)계 랫트를 사용하였다. 성숙한 SD계 래트(260-280g)를 실험 전에 적어도 1주 동안 온도 조절실 (22 ± 2 ℃)에 수용하고, 음식과 물을 자유롭게 섭취하게 했으며, 12h 주야 사이클을 유지시켰다.
A male adult SD (Sprague-Dawley) rat of 260-280 g was used as an experimental animal. Mature SD rats (260-280 g) were housed in a temperature-controlled room (22 ± 2 ° C) for at least one week before the experiment, allowed free access to food and water, and maintained a 12 h day / night cycle.
실시예Example 2: 실험 그룹 2: Experimental group
2-1. 2-1. 코르티코스테론Corticosterone (( corticosteronecorticosterone , , CORTCORT ) 측정) Measure
실험 동물 랫트에 2주 동안 감금 스트레스(restraint stress)를 가한 후 실험을 실시하였고, 실험 동물 랫트는 무작위로 각 그룹별 7마리씩 6개 그룹으로 하기 표 1과 같이 나누어 테스트하였다. 그 중에서, 코르티코스테론(corticosterone, CORT) 농도 측정 실험에 대해서는 각 그룹별 4마리씩만을 대상으로 랫트의 혈액을 따로 얻어 실험하였다.
Experimental animal rats were subjected to restraint stress for 2 weeks. Experimental animal rats were randomly divided into 6 groups of 7 rats per each group as shown in Table 1 below. Among them, in order to measure the concentration of corticosterone (CORT), only 4 rats per each group were tested for blood of rats.
양성대조군인 플록세틴 (fluoxetine, FLX)과 실험군인 후코이단(fucoidan, FCN)은 사용 전에 0.9% 생리식염수 용액에 용해하고, 2주 동안 매일 감금 스트레스를 가하기 30분 전, 복강 주사하여 처리하였다. 모든 약물은 매 실험 전, 즉각 준비하여 신선하게 사용하였다. 도 1에 나타낸 바와 같이, 감금 스트레스 진행은 설치류 부동 백에서 2주동안 오전 10시부터 12시 사이에 2시간 동안 매일 한번씩 수행하였다.The positive control group, fluoxetine (FLX) and the experimental group, fucoidan (FCN), were dissolved in 0.9% physiological saline solution and treated by intraperitoneal injection 30 minutes before the daily stress for 2 weeks. All drugs were prepared fresh immediately before each experiment. As shown in Figure 1, the restraint stress progression was performed once daily for two hours between 10 am and 12 am for two weeks in a rodent immobilization bag.
구체적으로, 랫트는 한 쪽은 열려지고 다른 한 쪽은 호흡을 위해 끝이 여러 개의 3-mm 구멍을 가진 원뿔 모양의 투명한 플라스틱 튜브 (20 × 7 cm)에 넣어서 감금 스트레스를 가하였다. 실험동물은 튜브 내에서 충분한 공기는 가지지만, 부동 상태이다. 체중 변화 (구속 스트레스의 시작 단계부터 측정)와 혈청(serum) CORT 함량 (반복된 구속 스트레스 후 측정)과 같은 파라미터는 스트레스의 영향을 모니터하기 위해 측정하였다. SAL 그룹 (음성 대조군, unstressed 그룹)을 제외한 모든 랫트 그룹은 동일한 감금 스트레스를 가하였다.
Specifically, the rats were placed in a conical, transparent plastic tube (20 x 7 cm) with one 3-mm hole and one open and the other for respiration, giving restraint stress. The experimental animal has enough air in the tube, but is floating. Parameters such as weight change (measured from the beginning of restraint stress) and serum CORT content (measured after repeated restraint stress) were measured to monitor the effect of stress. All rat groups except SAL group (negative control, unstressed group) applied the same confinement stress.
2-2. 행동학 및 신경생물학적 평가2-2. Behavioral and neurobiological assessment
반복된 감금 스트레스로 유도된 우울증 유사 증상을 가진 실험 동물 모델에서 우울증 치료를 위해, 후코이단(FCN)을 투여하여 행동학 및 신경생물학적 방법론을 사용하여 효력을 평가하였다. 랫트는 위 표 1에 개시한 바와 같이, 무작위로 각 그룹별 7마리씩 6개 그룹으로 나누어 테스트하였다. 운동기능 평가는 스트레스 프로토콜 마지막 단계 24h 후 실시하였다. 감금 스트레스 및 행동학적 실험의 일정은 도 2에 나타낸 바와 같다.
For the treatment of depression in experimental animal models with repeated depression-induced depression-like symptoms, efficacy was assessed using behavioral and neurobiological methodologies by administering fucoidan (FCN). The rats were randomly divided into six groups of 7 rats per each group as described in Table 1 above. Exercise function was assessed after the last 24 h of the stress protocol. The schedule of confinement stress and behavioral experiment is as shown in Fig.
실시예Example 3: 체중 변화 측정 3: Measurement of weight change
반복된 감금 스트레스가 체중 감소를 유발하는지를 확인하기 위하여, 감금 스트레스 2주 동안에 매일 랫트의 체중 변화를 측정하였다.To determine if repeated confinement stress induced weight loss, weight changes in rats were measured daily for 2 weeks of confinement stress.
반복된 감금 스트레스에 노출된 랫트는 감금 첫 날에 체중이 감소하기 시작했고, 이 초기 체중 감소는 회복 없이 그 기간 동안 지속되었으며, 심지어 악화되기까지 하였다. 도 3에 나타난 바와 같이, 아무 스트레스도 받지 않은 음성 대조군 (SAL 그룹)과 비교하였을 때, 감금 스트레스를 받은 STR 그룹은 2주 동안 점진적인 체중 감소를 보였다. 반면, 이 기간 동안 후코이단 (FCN)을 투여한 랫트 그룹은 감금 스트레스에 의한 체중 감소가 저해되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 50 mg/kg 후코이단을 투여한 랫트 그룹은 STR 그룹과 비교하였을 때 거의 차이가 없는 체중 변화를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.Rats exposed to repeated confinement stress began to lose weight on the first day of imprisonment, and this initial weight loss lasted for that period without recovery, and even deteriorated. As shown in FIG. 3, the STR group receiving restraint stress showed a progressive weight loss over 2 weeks when compared to the no-stressed negative control (SAL group). On the other hand, the rat group receiving fucoidan (FCN) during this period showed that weight loss due to restraint stress was inhibited, and in particular, the rat group administered 50 mg / kg fucoidan showed almost no difference compared to the STR group And showed no change in body weight.
이러한 결과는 감금 스트레스에 의해 체중 감소 효과가 나타나지만, 후코이단을 투여하는 경우 이러한 체중 감소 효과가 없어지며, 정상적인 체중 변화로 회복된다는 것을 의미한다.
These results indicate that weight loss effects are caused by restraint stress, but when fucoidan is administered, these weight loss effects are lost and normal weight changes are recovered.
실시예Example 4: 4: 코르티코스테론의Corticosterone 측정 Measure
감금 스트레스를 랫트에 반복적으로 가하였을 때, 부신의 둔감화 (adrenal habituation) 때문에 점진적으로 감소되는 혈청 CORT 함량은 급성 감금 스트레스에 의해 크게 증가된다. 혈청 CORT 함량은 2주 동안 반복된 감금 스트레스에 노출시킨 후 각 그룹별로 측정하였다.When repeated stress is applied to the rat, the serum CORT content, which is gradually decreased due to the adrenal habituation, is greatly increased by acute confinement stress. Serum CORT content was measured in each group after exposure to repeated confinement stress for 2 weeks.
실험동물은 스트레스 유도 진행 후 단두술(decaptitation)에 의해 희생시키고, 혈청 코르티코스테론 (corticosterone, CORT) 함량 측정을 위해 혈액 샘플을 채취하였다. 이를 위해, 마취시키지 않은 랫트는 신속하게 목을 자르고, 혈액은 배대동맥을 통해 빠르게 채취하였다. 혈액은 4000g에서 10분간 원심분리하고, 이렇게 얻어진 혈청은 사용 전까지 -20℃에 보관하였다. CORT 농도는 제조자의 프로토콜에 따라 토끼 다클론 CORT 항체 (rabbit polyclonal CORT antibody, OCTEIA Corticosterone kit; Alpco Diagnostics Co., Windham, NH, USA)를 사용하여 경쟁 효소면역측정법 (competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA))으로 측정하였다. 샘플 (또는 표준 물질)과 컨쥬게이트 (conjugate, 결합체)를 각 웰(well)에 더하고, 플레이트(plate)는 블로킹(blocking) 없이 실온에서 1시간 동안 방치하였다. 그 후, 웰은 버퍼로 여러 번 씻어내고 적절한 색깔로 발색시켜서 효소면역측정법 리더 (ELISA reader (MutiRead 400; Authos Co., Vienna, Austira))를 사용하여 450 nm에서 흡광도 (OD; optical density)를 측정하였다.The experimental animals were sacrificed by decaptitation after stress induction, and blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum corticosterone (CORT) content. To this end, the anesthetized rats rapidly cut their necks and blood was drawn rapidly through the abdominal aorta. Blood was centrifuged at 4000g for 10 minutes and the serum thus obtained was stored at -20 ° C until use. CORT concentrations were measured by competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) using a rabbit polyclonal CORT antibody (OCTEIA Corticosterone kit; Alpco Diagnostics Co., Windham, NH, USA) ). A sample (or a standard) and a conjugate were added to each well, and the plate was allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour without blocking. The wells were then washed several times with buffer and developed with appropriate color and analyzed for optical density (OD) at 450 nm using an enzyme immunoassay reader (MutiRead 400, Authos Co., Vienna, Austria) Respectively.
그 결과, 아무 스트레스도 받지 않은 음성 대조군 (SAL 그룹)과 비교하였을 때, 반복된 감금 스트레스를 받은 랫트 그룹의 혈청 CORT 농도는 462.45% (P<0.05)로 현저하게 증가하였다. 반면, 후코이단 (FCN)을 매일 투여하였을 경우, 반복된 감금 스트레스로 유도된 혈청 CORT 함량 증가가 다소 저해된 것을 확인할 수 있었다(도 4).
As a result, the serum CORT concentration in the rat group subjected to repeated confinement stress was significantly increased to 462.45% (P <0.05) when compared to the no-stressed negative control (SAL group). On the other hand, when fucoidan (FCN) was administered daily, it was confirmed that the increase in the serum CORT induced by repeated confinement stress was somewhat inhibited (FIG. 4).
실시예Example 5: 강제 수영 부하 실험 ( 5: Forced swimming load test ForcedForced swimmingswimming testtest ))
우울증을 위한 대표적 행동학적 테스트인 FST (강제 수영 부하 실험, forced swimming test)는 설치류 동물 모델에서 잠재력 있는 항우울제 활성 평가를 위해 흔히 사용되어 왔다. 우울증이 유발된 랫트를 연장된 시간 동안 물속에 강제 침수시키면 부동 행동 특징을 보인다. 이 때, 항우울제를 투여하게 되면, 등반(climbing)과 수영(swimming)과 같은 도피 반응 (escape response)을 증가시킴에 의해 부동 행동을 감소시킨다.FST (forced swimming test), a representative behavioral test for depression, has been commonly used to assess potential antidepressant activity in rodent models. Depressed rats are forced to submerged in water for extended periods of time to exhibit immersive behavior. At this time, administration of the antidepressant reduces immobility behavior by increasing escape responses such as climbing and swimming.
상기 반복된 감금 스트레스에 의해 우울증이 유발되는지와 후코이단이 그러한 우울증 증상을 감소시킬 수 있는지 확인하기 위하여, 상기 실험군들을 이용하여 강제 수영 부하 실험을 수행하였다.To test whether depression was induced by the repeated confinement stress and whether fucoidan could reduce such depressive symptoms, forced swimming load experiments were performed using the experimental groups.
투명한 플렉시글라스 실린더 (Plexiglas cylinder, 20 cm 직경 × 50 cm 높이)는 25 ℃ 물로 30 cm 깊이로 채웠다. 이 깊이에서, 랫트는 꼬리나 뒷다리가 실린더의 바닥에 닿지 않는다. 15일째 되는 날, 모든 그룹의 랫트는 물로 채워진 실린더에 넣어 15분 동안 훈련시켰다. 16일째, 실험동물은 5분 동안 강제 수영시켰고, 도피 행동 (등반과 수영)을 모니터하였다. 또한, 5분의 테스트 시간 동안 부동 시간을 기록하였다. 등반은 수영 챔버 가장자리를 따라 위쪽 방향을 향한 앞발의 움직임으로 정의하고, 수영은 수영 챔버의 사분면을 가로지는 것을 포함하여 전반적 움직임으로 판단하였다. 부동 행동은 실험동물이 도피 행동을 보이지 않는 시간 길이 (전체 테스트 시간에서 등반과 수영 행동을 하는데 소비되는 시간을 뺀 시간; 전체 테스트 시간 - 등반과 수영 행동으로 소비한 시간)로 산출하였다. 실험 동물의 행동은 계속적으로 오버헤드 비디오 카메라 (overhead video camer)를 사용하여 전체 테스트 시간 동안 기록하였다. 테스트 후, 랫트는 탱크로부터 꺼내어 타월로 건조 후, 처음 우리로 되돌려 보냈다. 수영 탱크의 물은 랫트 간에 교체하였다.A transparent Plexiglas cylinder (20 cm diameter x 50 cm high) was filled to 25 cm with water to a depth of 30 cm. At this depth, the rat does not touch the bottom of the cylinder with its tail or hind legs. On the 15th day, all groups of rats were placed in a water-filled cylinder and trained for 15 minutes. On
그 결과, 2주동안 반복된 감금 스트레스를 가한 랫트는 생리식염수 용액을 투여한 음성 대조군 (SAL)과 비교하였을 때 현저한 우울증 증상을 보였으며, 강제 수영 부하 실험동안 부동시간이 증가하고, 등반 행동 시간이 감소하는 특징을 보였다. 반면, 후코이단을 함께 투여한 군에서는 농도 의존적으로 상기와 같은 우울증 증상이 완화되는 것, 즉 부동시간이 감소하고 등반 행동 시간이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 STR + FCN50 그룹에서는 음성 대조군 및 플록세틴을 투여한 STR + FLX 그룹(양성 대조군)과 거의 유사한 수준까지 회복되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.As a result, rats subjected to repeated restraint stress for 2 weeks showed significant depressive symptoms when compared to negative control (SAL) administered with physiological saline solution, immobility time increased during forced swimming load test, Showed a decreasing characteristic. On the other hand, in the group administered with fucoidan, it was confirmed that depression symptoms were relieved in a concentration-dependent manner, that is, the immobility time was decreased and the climbing action time was increased. Especially, in STR + FCN50 group, FLX group (positive control group).
구체적으로, 도 5의 A (부동 시간)에 나타난 바와 같이, 강제 수영 부하 실험 동안 STR 그룹의 랫트는 음성 대조군인 SAL 그룹보다 부동 시간이 증가하였고, 이러한 효과는 후코이단 투여군에서 회복되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 후코이단 투여에 의해 우울증 증상이 감소함을 나타낸다.Specifically, as shown in Fig. 5A (floating time), during the forced swimming load test, rats in the STR group had more immobilization time than the negative control SAL group, and this effect was confirmed to be recovered in the fucoidan administration group , Indicating that depression symptoms are reduced by fucoidan administration.
또한, 도 5의 B (등반 행동 시간)에 나타난 바와 같이, 우울증 평가를 위한 대표적인 도피반응 행동인 등반 행동에 관해서는, STR 그룹의 랫트는 음성 대조군인 SAL 그룹보다 감소하였고, 이러한 효과는 후코이단 투여군에서 회복되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 후코이단 투여에 의해 우울증에 따른 자포자기 증상이 감소함을 나타낸다.As shown in Fig. 5B (climbing behavior time), the STR group rats were reduced in the climbing behavior, which is a typical escape response behavior for depression evaluation, as compared with the SAL group, which is a negative control group, , Indicating that depressed mood symptoms are reduced by fucoidan administration.
한편, 도 5의 C (수영 시간)에 나타난 바와 같이, 모든 그룹 간에 수영과 같은 도피 반응에 있어서는 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다.
On the other hand, as shown in C (swimming time) in FIG. 5, there was no significant difference in swimming responses such as swimming among all the groups.

상기 행동실험에 이어서, 우울증 및 신경전달과 관련된 부신피질 자극 호르몬 방출인자 (corticotrophin-releasing factor, CRF) 및 티로신수산화효소 (tyrosine hydroxylase, TH) 면역반응성을 확인하였다. 상기 CRF는 시상하부 뇌하수체 부신축(HPA)의 과잉활성화 및 우울증 유사 행동에 관여하고 있음이 알려져 있으며, TH 역시 우울증과 같은 정신병리학적 조건과 관련된 효소로 알려져 있다.Following this behavioral experiment, the corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity associated with depression and neurotransmission were identified. The CRF is known to be involved in hyperactivation of hypothalamic pituitary contraction (HPA) and depression-like behavior, and TH is also known as an enzyme involved in psychopathological conditions such as depression.
면역조직화학적 염색을 위해, 각 그룹에서 3마리의 랫트를 펜토바비탈나트륨 (sodium pentobarbital, 80 mg/kg, 복강 주사)으로 마취시키고, 0.9% 생리식염수 용액을 상행대동맥을 따라 관류시킨 다음 (혈액 제거), 뒤이어 0.1 M 인산완충식염수 (phosphate-buffered saline, PBS)에 4%로 희석되어 있는 포르말린 (4% paraformaldehyde, 4% 파라포름알데하이드) 300 mL로 관류 고정하였다. 랫트의 뇌는 무작위 순서로 적출하여 밤새 고정시키고, 4℃에서 0.1 M 인산완충식염수 (PBS)의 20% 수크로오스 용액으로 동결 보존하였다. 크라이오스탯 (저온유지장치, cryostat; Leica CM1850; Leica Microsystems Ltd., Nussloch, Germany)을 사용하여 시상하부 (hypothalamus), 청반 (locus coeruleus, LC), 편도체의 기저외측핵 (basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, BLA)이 가로지르도록 30 ㎛ 두께의 관상절편을 제작하였다. CRF와 TH 발현을 확인하기 위해, 절편은 아비딘-비오틴과산화효소 복합체법 (avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex, ABC)을 사용하여 면역 염색하였다. 절편은 1차 항체로 goat-anti-CRF antibody (1:500 희석; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) 및 sheep anti-TH antibody (1:2000 희석; Chemicon International Inc., Temecula, CA, USA)를 PBST (PBS plus 0.3% Triton X-100)에 희석하여 4℃에서 72시간 동안 방치하였다. 2차 항체는 Vector Laboratories Co. (Burlingame, CA, USA)로부터 얻었고, 2% 혈청이 포함된 PBST에 1:200으로 희석하여 사용하였다. 면역반응성(immunoreactivity)을 가시화하기 위해, 절편은 ABC 시약 (Vectastain Elite ABC kit; Vector)으로 90분 동안 인큐베이션하고, 3,3′-다이아미노벤지딘 (diaminobenzidine, DAB; Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA)과 0.01 % 과산화수소 (H2O2)가 포함된 용액에 1분 동안 방치하였다. 마지막으로, 조직은 PBS로 씻어내고, 뒤이어 물로 간단하게 세척한 뒤 슬라이드에 개별적으로 올려놓았다. 이미지는 AxioVision 3.0 imaging system (Carl Zeiss Inc., Oberkochen, Germany)를 사용하여 캡쳐하였고, Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose CA, USA)를 사용하여 가공 처리하였다. 절편은 200배 배율로 관찰했고, CRF-와 TH- 표지된 세포의 수는 실험 그룹에 대해 모르는 실험자에 의해 시상하부, 청반 (LC), 편도체의 기저외측핵 (BLA)에서 계산하였다. 실험동물 1마리에 3장의 표본을 대상으로 무작위로 시상하부, 청반 (locus coeruleus, LC), 편도체의 기저외측핵 (basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, BLA)에 분포하는 단위면적 (100 x 100 ㎛2) 당 면역양성 (immunopositive) 세포의 수를 확인하였다. 면역양성세포는 배경 값보다 염색 강도가 높은 것으로 정의하였고, CRF-와 TH- 면역양성 세포를 나타내는 뚜렷한 갈색 점이 시상하부, 청반 (LC), 편도체의 기저외측핵 (BLA)에서 관찰되었다. 원래 이미지의 밝기와 대조 차이는 면역양성 세포의 주관적 선택 가능성을 배제하기 위해 조정하지 않았다.
For immunohistochemical staining, three rats in each group were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (80 mg / kg, ip), perfused with 0.9% physiological saline solution along the ascending aorta , Followed by perfusion with 300 mL of formalin (4% paraformaldehyde, 4% paraformaldehyde) diluted to 4% in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The brains of rats were randomly excised, fixed overnight and cryopreserved in 20% sucrose solution in 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 4 ° C. Using a cryostat (cryostat: Leica CM1850; Leica Microsystems Ltd., Nussloch, Germany), the hypothalamus, the locus coeruleus (LC), the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala , And BLA) crossed each other. To confirm CRF and TH expression, the sections were immunostained using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC). The sections were incubated with goat anti-CRF antibody (1: 500 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and sheep anti-TH antibody (1: 2000 dilution; Chemicon International Inc., Temecula, CA, USA) was diluted with PBST (PBS plus 0.3% Triton X-100) and left at 4 ° C for 72 hours. Secondary antibodies were obtained from Vector Laboratories Co. (Burlingame, CA, USA) and diluted 1: 200 in PBST containing 2% serum. To visualize the immunoreactivity, the sections were incubated with ABC reagent (Vectastain Elite ABC kit; Vector) for 90 minutes and incubated with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB; Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co., St , And 0.01% hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) for 1 min. Finally, tissues were rinsed with PBS, followed by brief washing with water and then individually placed on slides. Images were captured using the AxioVision 3.0 imaging system (Carl Zeiss Inc., Oberkochen, Germany) and processed using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose CA, USA). The sections were observed at 200x magnification, and the number of CRF- and TH-labeled cells was calculated from the basolateral nucleus (BLA) of the hypothalamus, cerebellum (LC) and amygdala by an experimenter unknown to the experimental group. Three specimens were randomly assigned to one of three groups (100 x 100 ㎛ 2 ) distributed in the hypothalamus, locus coeruleus (LC) and basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) The number of immunopositive cells was confirmed. Immunopoietic cells were defined as having a higher staining intensity than background values, and distinct brown points representing CRF- and TH-immunopositive cells were observed in the hypothalamus, LC (LC) and basolateral nucleus (BLA) of the amygdala. The brightness and contrast differences of the original images were not adjusted to exclude the possibility of subjective selection of immunopositive cells.
부신피질 자극 호르몬 방출인자 (CRF) 면역반응성은 도 6에 나타낸 바와 같이, 실방핵 (paraventricular nucleus, PVN)을 포함한 시상하부구역 (hypothalamic regions)의 세포체 (cell body)를 분석하였다. 그 결과, STR 그룹의 랫트 뇌에서 실방핵 (PVN)의 CRF 면역양성 섬유의 수는 151.03% 증가하였다. 구체적으로, CRF 면역 양성 뉴런의 수를 분석해 본 결과, STR 그룹(도 6의 B)의 랫트의 경우 SAL 그룹(도 6의 A)과 비교시, CRF 발현이 두드러지게 증가함을 확인하였으며, STR + FCN50 그룹(도 6의 C)에서는 STR 그룹(도 6의 B)에 비해 현저히 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 CRF-면역반응성이 반복된 감금 스트레스에 의해 증가하고, 후코이단 (FCN)을 투여함에 의해 현저하게 회복됨을 나타낸다. STR + FCN50 그룹(도 6의 C)의 CRF-면역양성 뉴런의 수는 STR + FLX 그룹(도 6의 D)과 거의 유사하였다.
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) immunoreactivity was analyzed in cell bodies of hypothalamic regions including paraventricular nucleus (PVN) as shown in FIG. 6. As a result, the number of CRF immunopositive fibers in the thread brains (PVN) in the rat brain of the STR group was increased by 151.03%. Specifically, the number of CRF immunopositive neurons was analyzed and it was confirmed that CRF expression was significantly increased in the rats of the STR group (FIG. 6B) as compared with the SAL group (A of FIG. 6) + FCN50 group (C in Fig. 6) is significantly reduced compared with the STR group (B in Fig. 6). This indicates that CRF-immunoreactivity is increased by repeated restraint stress and is significantly restored by the administration of fucoidan (FCN). The number of CRF-immunoreactive neurons in the STR + FCN50 group (FIG. 6C) was similar to the STR + FLX group (FIG. 6D).
또한, 티로신수산화효소 (tyrosine hydroxylase, TH)의 면역반응성은 도 7에 나타낸 바와 같이, 청반 (LC) 및 편도체의 기저외측핵 (BLA)을 포함한 교감신경구역 (adrenergic regions)에서 분석하였다. STR 그룹 랫트 뇌의 청반 (LC)과 편도체 기저외측핵 (BLA)에서 티로신수산화효소 (TH)의 면역양성 섬유의 수는 각각 139.80% 및 147.74%로 증가하였다. 구체적으로, TH 면역 양성 뉴런 수를 분석해 본 결과, STR 그룹(도 7의 B 및 F)의 랫트의 경우 SAL 그룹(도 7의 A 및 E)과 비교시, TH 발현이 두드러지게 증가함을 확인하였으며, STR + FCN50 그룹 (도 7의 C 및 G)에서는 STR 그룹(도 7의 B 및 F)에 비해 현저히 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 반복된 감금 스트레스를 가한 랫트의 TH-면역 양성 뉴런의 증가된 수가 후코이단 (FCN)을 투여함에 의해 현저하게 회복됨을 나타낸다. 또한, STR + FCN50 그룹(도 7의 C 및 G)의 TH-면역양성 뉴런의 수는 STR + FLX 그룹(도 7의 D 및 H)과도 유사하였다.
In addition, the immunoreactivity of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) was analyzed in adrenergic regions, including brain (LC) and basolateral nucleus (BLA) of amygdala, as shown in FIG. The number of immunostimulatory fibers of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the cerebral cortex (LC) and the basal lateral nucleus (BLA) of the STR group increased to 139.80% and 147.74%, respectively. Specifically, analysis of the number of TH immunocompetent neurons showed that the expression of TH in the rats of the STR group (B and F in Fig. 7) was significantly increased as compared with the SAL group (A and E in Fig. 7) , And it was confirmed that STR + FCN50 group (C and G in FIG. 7) was significantly reduced compared with the STR group (B and F in FIG. 7). This indicates that an increased number of TH-immunopositive neurons in rats subjected to repeated confinement stresses are significantly restored by the administration of fucoidan (FCN). In addition, the number of TH-immunopositive neurons in the STR + FCN50 group (C and G in Figure 7) was similar to the STR + FLX group (D and H in Figure 7).
실시예Example 7: 7: 해마에서의Seahorse BDNFBDNF ( ( 뇌유래Brain derived 신경영양인자, However, brainbrain -- derivedderived neurotrophic 노로 트rophic factorfactor ) ) mRNAmRNA 발현 평가 Expression evaluation
우울증과 관련된 단백질 마커로서 BDNF의 mRNA 발현을 평가하였다. BDNF는 뇌에서 만들어지는 단백질로 중추신경계와 말초신경계 양쪽의 신경세포에 작용하며 우울증과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다.MRNA expression of BDNF as a protein marker associated with depression was assessed. BDNF is a protein produced in the brain that acts on both neurons in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system and is known to be closely related to depression.
BDNF(뇌유래 신경영양인자, brain-derived neurotrophic factor) mRNA의 발현수준은 역전사 중합효소연쇄반응 (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, RT-PCR)에 의해 측정되었다. 랫트의 뇌 해마(hippocampus)는 그룹 당 4마리의 랫트로부터 분리하였다. 단두술 후에, 뇌는 신속하게 적출되었고 사용 전까지 -80℃에서 보관하였다. 총 RNA(total RNA)는 공급자의 지시에 따라 TRIzol시약 (Invitrogen Co., Carlsbad, CA, USA)을 사용하여 뇌 조직으로부터 추출하였다. 상보적 DNA (complementary DNA)는 역전사 효소 (reverse transcriptase, Takara Co., Shiga, Japan)를 사용하여 총 RNA로부터 처음 합성되었고, PCR은 PTC-100 programmable thermal controller (MJ Research Inc., Watertown, MA, USA)를 사용하여 수행하였다. 작동 조건은 다음과 같다: GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase)의 경우, 30사이클, 변성 (denaturation) 95℃, 30초, 어닐링(annealing) 58℃, 30초, 연장 (extension) 72℃, 30초; BDNF의 경우, 27사이클, 변성 (denaturation) 95℃, 30초, 어닐링(annealing) 57℃, 30초, 연장 (extension) 72℃, 30초. 모든 프라이머 (primer)는 게재된 mRNA 시컨스와 화이트헤드 생의료연구소 (Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (Cambridge, MA, USA; http://www.genome.wi.mit.edu))에 의해 제공된 프라이머 디자인 소프트웨어 Primer 3를 사용하여 디자인하였다. 다음과 같은 염기서열을 가지는 프라이머를 사용하였다: GAPDH(406 bp)의 경우, (forward) 5'-ATC CCA TCA CCA TCT TCC AG-3'(서열번호 1) 및 (reverse) 5'-CCT GCT TCA CCA CCT TCT TG-3'(서열번호 2); BDNF (153 bp)의 경우, (forward) 5'-CAG GGG CAT AGA CAA AAG-3'(서열번호 3) 및 (reverse) 5'-CTT CCC CTT TTA ATG GTC-3'(서열번호 4). PCR 산물은 1.2% 아가로즈 겔에서 분리되었고 에티디움브로마이드 (EtBr, ethidium bromide)로 염색하였다. 각 밴드(band)의 농도(density)는 image-analyzing system (i-MaxTM, CoreBio System Co., Seoul, Korea)을 사용하여 정량화하였다. 발현 정도는 GAPDH에 상대적으로 BDNF와 같은 각 타겟 밴드의 농도를 계산함에 의해 비교하였다.Expression levels of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) mRNA were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The rat brain hippocampus was isolated from 4 rats per group. After monocotylosis, the brain was rapidly removed and stored at -80 ° C until use. Total RNA (total RNA) was extracted from brain tissue using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen Co., Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the supplier's instructions. Complementary DNA was first synthesized from total RNA using reverse transcriptase (Takara Co., Shiga, Japan) and PCR was performed using a PTC-100 programmable thermal controller (MJ Research Inc., Watertown, MA, USA). The conditions of operation are as follows: 30 cycles of denaturation at 95 ° C for 30 sec, annealing at 58 ° C for 30 sec, extension at 72 ° C for 30 sec for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) second; 27 cycles for BDNF, denaturation at 95 ° C for 30 seconds, annealing at 57 ° C for 30 seconds, extension at 72 ° C for 30 seconds. All primers were amplified using primer design software provided by the published mRNA sequence and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (Cambridge, Mass., USA; http://www.genome.wi.mit.edu)
상기와 같이 BDNF의 발현을 측정한 결과, 도 8에 나타난 바와 같이, STR 그룹의 랫트 해마에서 BDNF mRNA 발현은 SAL 그룹과 비교했을 때 상당히 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나, STR 그룹의 감소된 BDNF mRNA 발현량은 STR + FCN50 그룹에서 유효성 있게 회복되었다. 회복된 발현량은 SAL 그룹의 정상 랫트와 거의 유사한 수준이었으며, 양성 대조군인 STR + FLX 그룹과도 거의 동등하였다.As shown in FIG. 8, the expression of BDNF mRNA was significantly reduced in the rat hippocampus of the STR group as compared with that of the SAL group. However, the reduced amount of BDNF mRNA expression in the STR group was effectively restored in the STR + FCN50 group. The recovered expression level was almost similar to that of the normal rats of the SAL group, and was almost equal to that of the positive control group STR + FLX.
이러한 다양한 결과를 종합할 때, 후코이단은 우울증을 완화시키는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있다.
When these various results are combined, it can be seen that fucoidan has the effect of relieving depression.
