한편, 최근 미세먼지 (particulate matter, PM)의 농도가 증가하고 지속기간이 증가됨에 따라 미세먼지에 의한 인체 영향성에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있는 추세이다(Kim 등, 2017). 미세먼지는 우리나라의 오랜 역사와 함께 해왔으며, 예로부터 몽고와 중국 사막지역 및 황화강 유역에서 발원된 황사의 영향을 받았고, 최근에는 우리나라 및 동북아시아 국가들의 급격한 산업화가 미세먼지의 주요 발생 원인으로 보고되고 있다(Myung, 2016).Meanwhile, as the concentration of particulate matter (PM) increases and the duration increases, interest in the effects of fine dust on the human body is increasing (Kim et al., 2017). Fine dust has been with Korea for a long history, and has been affected by yellow dust originating from the desert regions of Mongolia and China and the Yellow River basin since ancient times. Recently, rapid industrialization in Korea and Northeast Asian countries has become a major cause of fine dust. It has been reported (Myung, 2016).
초미세먼지(PM2.5)는 공기역학적 지름이 2.5 μm 이하인 미세먼지를 의미하며, 대기 오염 발생원에서 직접 배출되어지는 1차 오염 물질과 대기에서 반응하여 생성되는 2차 대기오염 물질 (NO3 -, SO4 -, NH4-, polyacromatichydrocarbon (PAH), quinone등)이 주를 이룬다(Kim 등, 2017). 세계보건기구(World Health Organization, 2013)에 의하면, PM10 (공기역학적 지름이 10 μm 이하인 미세먼지)에 장기 노출될 경우 호흡기관 관련 질환과 사망률이 증가하게 되는데, PM2.5는 이보다 더 강한 위험 인자로 작용한다고 보고하였다.Ultrafine dust (PM 2.5 ) refers to fine dust with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less, and secondary air pollutants (NO 3 - , SO 4 - , NH4 - , polyacromatichydrocarbon (PAH), quinone, etc.) are the main ones (Kim et al., 2017). According to the World Health Organization (2013), long-term exposure to PM 10 (fine dust with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less) increases respiratory tract-related diseases and mortality, but PM 2.5 is a stronger risk factor than this. It has been reported to work as
지름 5~10 μg/m3 이하의 먼지는 코 점막을 통해 체내에 흡수가 가능하며 2~5 μg/m3 이하는 기도 (호흡기)를 통과하고, 0.1~1 μg/m3는 폐포 손상까지 유발하게 된다. 미세먼지가 인체에 흡입되었을 경우, 충돌·중력침강·확산·정전기적 흡착 등과 같은 다양한 기전에 의해서 조직에 침착될 수 있으며, 일부는 혈액을 따라서 전신을 순환하기도 한다. Dust with a diameter of 5 to 10 μg/m 3 or less can be absorbed into the body through the nasal mucosa, 2 to 5 μg/m 3 or less passes through the respiratory tract, and 0.1 to 1 μg/m 3 to damage the alveoli. will cause When fine dust is inhaled into the human body, it can be deposited in tissues by various mechanisms such as collision, gravitational sedimentation, diffusion, and electrostatic adsorption, and some circulate throughout the body along the blood.
특히, 체내에 침착된 미세먼지는 산화적 스트레스와 염증 반응을 유도하고 호흡계 및 순환계 질환의 급성 악화 등을 유발하는 것으로 보고되고 있다(Myung, 2016). 또한, 후각 상피세포를 거치면 혈관 뇌 장벽(Blood-Brain Barrier; BBB)을 거치지 않고도 뇌로 직접 도달할 수 있으며, 자성을 띄는 입자의 경우 뇌 조직에 직접 침착됨으로써 미세아교세포(Microglia)를 활성화하여 pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α 및 IFN-γ) 등을 생산함으로써 뇌신경 염증을 유도하고 더 나아가 인지장애를 유도하는 것으로 보고되었다(Block, 2004). 따라서, 이러한 미세먼지로 유도될 수 있는 인체 내 산화적 스트레스 억제 및 염증 반응을 억제시켜 줄 수 있는 천연 식품 소재에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.In particular, it has been reported that fine dust deposited in the body induces oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions and causes acute exacerbation of respiratory and circulatory diseases (Myung, 2016). In addition, when passing through olfactory epithelial cells, it can reach the brain directly without passing through the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), and in the case of magnetic particles, they are directly deposited in brain tissue, activating microglia and pro- It has been reported that by producing -inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IFN-γ), etc., inflammation of the cranial nerve is induced and further cognitive impairment is induced (Block, 2004). Therefore, it is thought that there is a need for research on natural food materials that can suppress oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions in the human body that can be induced by such fine dust.

4-2. 실험 결과4-2. Experiment result
초미세먼지는 세포 내에 산화적 스트레스를 증가시키고 염증 반응을 촉진 시킴으로써 세포의 기능 저하 및 사멸을 유도하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 (Guo 등, 2015), 두충 잎 분획물의 뇌 신경세포에서의 초미세먼지 유도성 세포사멸 억제 효과를 측정한 결과는 도 4와 같다.Ultrafine dust is known to induce cell function deterioration and death by increasing oxidative stress within cells and promoting inflammatory responses (Guo et al., 2015), and ultrafine dust induction in brain nerve cells of Eucommia leaf fraction The results of measuring the apoptosis inhibitory effect are shown in FIG. 4 .
도 4를 살펴보면 모든 세포에서 PM2.5의 처리는 세포의 사멸을 유도하는 것으로 확인되었고, MC-IXC, BV-2세포에 PM2.5를 처리하였을 때 세포 생존율은 각각 63.73%, 38.21%이며, 두충 잎 분획물 50 μg/mL 처리하였을 때, 각각 97.80%, 59.46%로 PM2.5로 인한 세포사멸로부터 세포를 보호하는 것으로 나타났다. Looking at Figure 4, it was confirmed that the treatment of PM 2.5 in all cells induces cell death, and when MC-IXC and BV-2 cells were treated with PM 2.5 , the cell viability was 63.73% and 38.21%, respectively, and the leaves of Eurymia When the fraction was treated with 50 μg/mL, 97.80% and 59.46%, respectively, were shown to protect cells from apoptosis caused by PM 2.5 .
또한 두충 잎 분획물 10 μg/mL 처리군에서는 양성 대조군와 유사하거나 더 높은 세포 생존률을 나타내었다. 따라서 PM2.5로 유도되는 산화적 스트레스로부터 세포보호 효과를 나타내는 것으로 확인된다.In addition, the group treated with 10 μg/mL of Eucommia leaf fraction showed a cell survival rate similar to or higher than that of the positive control group. Therefore, it is confirmed that it exhibits a cytoprotective effect from oxidative stress induced by PM 2.5 .
초미세먼지의 노출에 의한 세포 기능 저하는 다양한 메커니즘에 의한 것으로 그 중심에는 염증 반응의 활성화와 관련된 것으로 보고되고 있다. 초미세먼지는 세포막에서 직접적으로 반응하는데, lysosomal leakage 및 세포 표면 수용체인 toll-like 수용체와의 결합은 NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome의 형성을 유도한다. 이는 다시 IL-1β의 방출을 유도하게 되고 nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) 및 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 경로를 활성화시킴으로써 세포 내 ROS의 생성 유도 및 pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1 family, TNF-α 및 IL-18) 분비를 촉진하게 된다. 뿐만 아니라, 초미세먼지는 세포 표면에서 직접적으로 반응할 수 있으며, PAH 및 quinone과 같은 물질들은 산화-환원 관련 대사의 활성화를 통하여 ROS 및 반응성이 큰 친전자성 대사산물(O2 ·-, H2O2, O2 ·-·OH)들을 생성함으로써 미토콘드리아의 손상을 유발하고, 세포의 기능 저하를 초래하게 된다(Guo 등, 2015). It has been reported that cell function deterioration due to exposure to ultrafine dust is caused by various mechanisms, at the center of which is related to the activation of an inflammatory response. Ultrafine dust reacts directly on the cell membrane, and lysosomal leakage and binding to toll-like receptors, which are cell surface receptors, induce the formation of NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes. This in turn induces the release of IL-1β and activates the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, thereby inducing the production of intracellular ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 family, TNF-α and IL-18) secretion is promoted. In addition, ultrafine dust can directly react on the cell surface, and substances such as PAH and quinone can activate ROS and highly reactive electrophilic metabolites (O 2 - , H through oxidation-reduction related metabolism activation). 2 O 2 , O 2 ·- and · OH) causes damage to mitochondria and leads to cell function deterioration (Guo et al., 2015).
본 실험의 결과에서 나타난 두충 잎 추출물의 뇌 세포 내 ROS 생성 억제 효과 및 세포사멸 억제 효과는 두충에 함유되어 있는 다양한 생리 활성 물질에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, 두충 잎 추출물은 뇌 신경세포에서 초미세먼지로 유도될 수 있는 세포 손상으로부터 기능 개선 및 치료에 도움을 줄 수 있는 건강기능성식품 조성물, 식품 조성물, 약학 조성물 또는 화장료 조성물로서의 활용 가능성이 기대된다.It is believed that the inhibitory effect on ROS production and apoptosis in brain cells of Eucommia leaf extract shown in the results of this experiment is due to various physiologically active substances contained in Eucommia. Taken together these results, Eucommia leaf extract is a health functional food composition, food composition, pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition that can help improve function and treat brain nerve cells from cell damage that can be induced by ultrafine dust. Its potential for use is expected.

Therefore, the results of measuring the expression levels of amyloid beta pathway proteins and inflammatory pathway proteins by isolating mouse hippocampal tissues are shown in FIG. 13 . The expression levels of amyloid-beta and p -tau in the hippocampal tissue were increased 1.56-fold and 3.32-fold, respectively, compared to the normal control group in the PM 2.5 group, and 1.73-fold and 2.83-fold, respectively, compared to the PM 2.5 group in the 40 group of eutrophic leaf fractions, similar to the control. It was confirmed that it was improved (Fig. 13B-C). In addition, the expression levels of p -IκBα, caspase-1, IL-1β, and TNF-α factors in the PM 2.5 group were increased by 1.84, 1.65, 1.50, and 1.93 times compared to the normal control group. Compared to the 2.5 group, the expression level was reduced by 0.65 times, 0.62 times, 0.67 times, and 0.61 times (FIG. 13D-G).
