Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a composition for prevention or treatment of gout containing beta-carotene as an active ingredient,

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition and a health food composition for preventing or treating gout containing beta-carotene as an active ingredient.

Gout is a metabolic disorder in which the crystals of uric acid formed by persistent high uric acid in the blood can not be discharged out of the body and accumulate in various tissues to cause various symptoms. Increased serum uric acid may occur due to excessive production of uric acid and failure to properly discharge due to abnormal excretion through the kidneys.

High uric acid in the blood does not cause gout immediately, but uric acid crystals are easily formed by high uric acid, and when the state of being deposited in various tissues persists for 10 to 20 years, it is caused by induction factors. It is commonly found in men aged 40 to 50, but the age at onset is gradually decreasing with changes in diet and environment. Women are women who have had a long-term use of immunosuppressants after menopause or after organ transplantation, The possibility of developing the disease is high.

The cause of this gout is that most of the cells that make up our body have nuclei, which are made up of nucleic acids that contain genetic information. Nucleic acid is composed of purine or pyrimidine. When the cell reaches its end of life, it breaks down and the purine body in the nucleus is decomposed to produce a large amount of uric acid. The crystals of sodium urate precipitate in the tissues and cause inflammation. Hyperuricemia, gouty, Stomatitis and the like.

Currently, these gout treatments mainly use colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or steroids, but no medicines have been developed to radically treat gout. However, allopurinol, an inhibitor of uric acid uric acid production, and probenecid, a uric acid kidney excretion promoter, are known. However, allopurinol has serious side effects such as skin rash, gastrointestinal disorder, bone marrow suppression, itching and muscle pain Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a therapeutic agent capable of preventing or treating gout while being safe to the human body and reducing side effects.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2013-001688 (published on Mar. 07, 2013)

< Experimental Example >

1. Animals

The mice used in the present invention were purchased from Orient Bio (Seoul, Korea), and the management and experimental protocols of the purchased animals were performed according to the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the Catholic University of Korea (permission) # 2012-5-001).

The mice were adapted to sterile conditions for at least a week before the experiment and maintained a temperature of 23 ± 3 ° C and 40-60% relative humidity.

2. Reagents

Beta-carotene was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Mo.). MSI was purchased from Invivogen (San Diego, USA), interleukin-1β was purchased from R & D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA) and Caspase-1 activity kit was purchased from bio-vision (califoornia, USA).

< Example  1> urate in animal models ( monosodium urate monohydrate Beta-carotene (beta-carotene) &lt; / RTI &gt; carotene )

1. Modeling of gustatory animals

C57BL / 6 mice were used to derive a model of air-pouch, a local inflammatory response model. First, 5 ml of sterilized air was injected into the subcutaneous tissues of mice and then 5 ml of the second sterilized air was injected by the same method 3 days later.

Seven days after the first air injection, MSU crystals suspended in 1 ml of sterilized non-toxin PBS were injected into the air bag to prepare a ventilated animal model. Beta-carotene (30 mg / kg) Control group PBS was injected into mouse mouth.

After 6 hours of injection of MSU crystals, the mice were euthanized, and the liquid in the air-pouch was collected by washing with 2 ml of PBS containing 5 mM EDTA, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 2 minutes, The sample was cooled and stored before measurement.

2. Beta-carotene (β- carotene ) Check the effect

In order to confirm the effect of beta-carotene on the ventilation induced by MSU, the animal model of the air bag prepared in Example 1-1 was used.

The animal model was prepared by injecting 1 ml of PBS suspended in MSU crystals in an air bag into a space available along a membrane such as a macrophage-like macrophage and a lubricant membrane containing fibroblasts, As a model, PBS was orally administered at 30 mg / kg beta-carotene or a control group 1 hour before injection of MSU crystals, and cytokine production and neutrophil infiltration were analyzed in the bag exudates 6 hours after injection of MSU crystals PBS was added to the control group.

As a result, as shown in Fig. 1, MSU-induced acute gout is caused by cytokines such as IL-1α and IL-6 and MCP-1 (CCL2) And chemokines such as KC (CXCL1), but the increase in the level of cytokines induced by MSU crystals was significantly increased in the gout model in which beta carotene was administered Respectively.

< Example  2> MSU Beta-carotene &lt; / RTI &gt; (beta-carotene) carotene ) On inflammation

As mononuclear cells exposed to MSU crystals were reported to induce IL-1β activation and activated IL-1β to induce the production of NLRP3 inflammatory mediators, the cells were collected from the gout animal model of Example 1 IL-1β secretion was confirmed by ELISA analysis (Koo JE et al, 2012) in PBS containing liquid in the bladder.

As a result, IL-1β secretion was increased by MSU crystals in the PBS containing the liquid in the air bladder of the animal model in which PBS was orally administered, as shown in FIG. 1F, whereas the air of the animal model of β-carotene In the PBS containing the liquid in the bag, it was confirmed that the secretion of IL-1β by the MSU crystal was remarkably reduced.

In addition, as in 1G, when PBS was orally administered, the MSU crystal increased caspase-1 activity in the PBS containing the liquid in the bladder of the animal model, whereas the caspase-1 activity was increased in the bladder of the animal model of the beta-carotene In the PBS containing liquid, caspase-1 activity was significantly decreased.
