닥나무 추출물을 포함하는 인슐린 민감성 개선용 조성물 {A COMPOSITION FOR IMPROVING INSULIN SENSITIVITY COMPRISING EXTRACT OF BROUSSONETIA KAZINOKI}Composition for improving insulin sensitivity comprising mulberry extract {A COMPOSITION FOR IMPROVING INSULIN SENSITIVITY COMPRISING EXTRACT OF BROUSSONETIA KAZINOKI}

본 발명은 닥나무 추출물을 포함하는 인슐린 민감성 개선용 조성물에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 ITIH1 (Inter-alpha Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy chain 1)의 발현을 감소시킴으로써 인슐린 민감성을 개선하는 것을 특징으로 하는 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composition for improving insulin sensitivity comprising a mulberry extract, and more particularly, to a composition for improving insulin sensitivity by reducing the expression of ITIH1 (Inter-alpha Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy chain 1). .

정상적인 경우 체내에서는 혈중 포도당 농도를 조절함으로써 항상성을 유지하나, 대사성 질환, 인슐린 저항성을 동반하는 질환에서는 혈당이 과도하게 증가하며, 이러한 고혈당이 지속되는 경우 조직의 손상을 일으키고 기능 장애를 유발한다.In normal cases, the body maintains homeostasis by regulating the blood glucose concentration, but in metabolic diseases and diseases accompanied by insulin resistance, blood sugar is excessively increased.

인슐린 저항성은 인슐린에 대한 민감성이 정상적인 기준에 비해 감소한 것이고, 근육과 지방조직에서 인슐린의 증가를 감지하지 못하거나 감지하더라도 인슐린의 작용이 효과적으로 일어나지 않는 경우를 말한다. 이 경우 혈당을 낮추지 못해 세포 대사 및 물질 대사의 균형이 효과적으로 유지되지 못하게 된다.Insulin resistance refers to a case in which the sensitivity to insulin is reduced compared to the normal standard, and an increase in insulin in muscle and adipose tissue is not detected or the action of insulin does not occur effectively even if it is detected. In this case, the blood sugar cannot be lowered, and the balance of cell metabolism and metabolism cannot be effectively maintained.

인슐린 민감성을 개선시키기 위해 이자의 베타 (ß)세포에서 인슐린 자체의 분비를 증가시키거나, 물질대사 경로에서 인슐린 수용체가 인슐린과 결합하여 전달하는 신호 (signal)를 증폭시키는 방법이 주로 고려되지만, 고혈당을 유발하는 생물학적 기전에 근거하여 이에 관여하는 단백질 자체의 활성을 조절함으로써 고혈당을 제어하는 방법에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다.In order to improve insulin sensitivity, methods of increasing the secretion of insulin itself from pancreatic beta (ß) cells or amplifying the signal transmitted by the insulin receptor binding to insulin in the metabolic pathway are mainly considered. Based on the biological mechanism that induces blood sugar, studies on how to control hyperglycemia by regulating the activity of the protein itself involved in it are insufficient.

ITIH1 (Inter-alpha Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy chain 1)은 간세포에서 생성되어 혈액으로 분비되는 단백질로, 포도당 자극에 의해 세포 내 농도 및 그 분비량이 증가한다 (Science Translational Medicine, Vol. 11, Issue 513, eaan4735, 2019). 구체적으로, ITIH1 증가는 고혈당에서 G 단백질의 일종인 G13의 감소와 OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) 효소의 발현량 증가에 의해 이루어진다. 고혈당 환경에서 OGT가 ITIH1의 세린 잔기에 O-GlcNAcylation 변형을 일으켜 ITIH1의 안정성이 증가하고, 이에 따라 ITIH1의 농도가 증가하면 ITIH1은 히알루론산에 결합하여 근육 및 지방세포에서 인슐린 민감성을 떨어뜨린다. ITIH1 (Inter-alpha Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy chain 1) is a protein that is produced in hepatocytes and secreted into the blood, and its concentration and secretion in cells increases by glucose stimulation (Science Translational Medicine, Vol. 11, Issue 513, eaan4735, 2019). Specifically, the increase in ITIH1 is achieved by a decrease in G13, a type of G protein, and an increase in the expression level of OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) enzyme in hyperglycemia. In a hyperglycemic environment, OGT causes O-GlcNAcylation modification on the serine residue of ITIH1 to increase the stability of ITIH1.

한편, 닥나무 (Broussonetia kazinoki)는 쐐기풀목 뽕나무과의 낙엽활엽 교목으로 암수한그루이며, 봄에 잎이 나면서 동시에 꽃이 핀다. 열매는 뱀딸기 비슷한 공 모양의 핵과로 9월경에 익으며 주로 경작지 주변이나 산기슭 양지 쪽에서 자생한다. 나무껍질은 대한민국, 중국, 일본 등에서 종이를 만드는 재료가 되며, 열매는 '저실' 또는 '구수자'라고 하여 약재로 쓰이고, 어린 잎은 먹기도 한다.On the other hand, the mulberry ( Broussonetia kazinoki ) is a deciduous broad-leaved tree of the Morus family of the Nettle family, and it is a male and female tree, and the leaves appear in spring and flowers bloom at the same time. The fruit is a ball-shaped drupe, similar to strawberry, and ripens around September. It is mainly grown around cultivated land or in sunny areas at the foot of the mountain. The bark is a material for making paper in Korea, China, and Japan, and the fruit is called 'jeosil' or 'gusuja' and is used medicinally, and the young leaves are also eaten.

닥나무의 염증성 여드름 피부 개선, 혈관 신생 억제, 면역기능 강화 등의 효과가 알려진 바 있으나 (한국 등록특허공보 제 10-1827771호, 한국 등록특허공보 제10-1693725호, 한국 등록특허공보 제10-1039110호 참조) 인슐린 민감성 개선 효과에 대해서는 알려진 바 없다.Although the effects of mulberry are known to improve inflammatory acne skin, inhibit angiogenesis, and strengthen immune function (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1827771, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1693725, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1039110) No.), the effect of improving insulin sensitivity is not known.

이와 관련하여, 본 발명의 발명자들은 닥나무 추출물이 ITIH1의 발현을 억제함으로써 인슐린 민감성을 개선시킬 수 있음을 발견하여, 본 발명을 완성하였다.In this regard, the inventors of the present invention have completed the present invention by discovering that the mulberry extract can improve insulin sensitivity by inhibiting the expression of ITIH1.

이하, 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 본 발명이 속하는 기술 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자가 용이하게 실시할 수 있도록 본원의 실시태양 및 실시예를 상세히 설명한다. 그러나 본원은 여러 가지 형태로 구현될 수 있으며 여기에서 설명하는 실시태양 및 실시예에 한정되지 않는다.Hereinafter, embodiments and examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily carry out. However, the present application may be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments and examples described herein.

본원 명세서 전체에서, 어떤 부분이 어떤 구성 요소를 "포함" 한다고 할 때, 이는 특별히 반대되는 기재가 없는 한 다른 구성 요소를 제외하는 것이 아니라 다른 구성 요소를 더 포함할 수 있는 것을 의미한다.Throughout this specification, when a part "includes" a component, it means that other components may be further included, rather than excluding other components, unless otherwise stated.

본 발명은 닥나무 (Broussonetia kazinoki) 추출물을 포함하는 인슐린 민감성 개선용 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composition for improving insulin sensitivity comprising an extract of mulberry ( Broussonetia kazinoki ).

상기 조성물은 ITIH1 (Inter-alpha Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy chain 1)의 발현을 억제하는 효능이 있다. ITIH1은 간세포에서 생성되어 혈액으로 분비되는 단백질로, 포도당 자극에 의해 세포 내 농도 및 그 분비량이 증가하며, 히알루론산에 결합하여 근육 및 지방세포에서 인슐린 민감성을 떨어뜨린다. The composition has the effect of inhibiting the expression of ITIH1 (Inter-alpha Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy chain 1). ITIH1 is a protein produced by hepatocytes and secreted into the blood. The intracellular concentration and secretion of ITIH1 increases by glucose stimulation, and it binds to hyaluronic acid and decreases insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat cells.

또한, 상기 조성물은 OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase)의 발현을 억제한다. OGT 는 ITIH1 단백질의 세린 잔기에 O-GlcNAcylation 변형을 일으킴으로써 ITIH1의 안정성 및 농도를 증가시킨다. 따라서 본 발명의 조성물은 ITIH1 및 OGT의 발현을 감소시킴으로써 인슐린 민감성 개선 효과를 가진다.In addition, the composition inhibits the expression of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). OGT increases the stability and concentration of ITIH1 by causing an O-GlcNAcylation modification on the serine residue of the ITIH1 protein. Therefore, the composition of the present invention has the effect of improving insulin sensitivity by reducing the expression of ITIH1 and OGT.

상기 인슐린 민감성 개선 효과는 인슐린 감수성 (insulin sensitivity) 상승 및 인슐린 저항성 (insulin resistance) 감소를 의미한다. 인슐린 감수성은 인슐린에 대하여 반응하는 정도를 뜻하며, 인슐린 감수성의 저하 즉, 인슐린 저항성은 인슐린에 대한 반응이 정상적인 기준에 비해 감소함으로써 혈당을 낮추는 인슐린의 기능이 떨어져 세포가 포도당을 효과적으로 연소시키지 못하는 것을 의미한다.The insulin sensitivity improvement effect means an increase in insulin sensitivity and a decrease in insulin resistance. Insulin sensitivity refers to the degree to which a person responds to insulin, and a decrease in insulin sensitivity, that is, insulin resistance, refers to a decrease in the response to insulin compared to a normal standard, so that the function of insulin to lower blood sugar is reduced, so that cells cannot effectively burn glucose do.

본 발명의 닥나무 추출물의 추출 방법으로는 교반추출, 여과법, 열수 추출, 침지 추출, 환류냉각 추출 및 초음파추출 등 당업계의 통상적인 방법을 이용할 수 있다.As the extraction method of the mulberry extract of the present invention, conventional methods in the art such as stirring extraction, filtration, hot water extraction, immersion extraction, reflux cooling extraction and ultrasonic extraction may be used.

도 6에 나타낸 바와 같이, 정상군에 비하여 고농도 포도당 및 MGO 처리군의 ogt mRNA 발현이 1.41배로 증가하였으나, 닥나무 잎 추출물을 처리한 경우에는 ogt mRNA 발현이 정상군의 0.13배 수준으로 감소하여 현저한 OGT 억제 효과를 갖는 것을 확인하였다.As shown in FIG. 6 , the expression of ogt mRNA in the high glucose and MGO-treated group increased 1.41 times compared to the normal group, but when the mulberry leaf extract was treated, the ogt mRNA expression decreased to 0.13 times the level of the normal group, resulting in significant OGT It was confirmed that it has an inhibitory effect.

결국, 닥나무 추출물은 ITIH1를 증가시키는 작용을 하는 OGT를 현저하게 감소시킴으로써, 인슐린 민감성 개선 효과 및 인슐린 저항성 관련 질환의 치료 효과를 갖는 것을 알 수 있다.As a result, it can be seen that the mulberry extract has an effect of improving insulin sensitivity and a therapeutic effect of insulin resistance-related diseases by remarkably reducing OGT, which acts to increase ITIH1.
