Description

HAPLN1을 포함하는 항산화 조성물 및 이를 이용한 세포의 항산화 방법Antioxidant composition containing HAPLN1 and cell antioxidant method using the same
본 발명은 히알루론산과 프로테오글리칸 연결 단백질 1(hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1; HAPLN1) 또는 이를 코딩하는 유전자를 유효성분으로 포함하는 세포의 항산화 조성물 및 상기 조성물을 이용한 세포의 항산화 방법을 개시한다. 본 발명에 의하면 세포의 산화 작용을 예방 및 억제함으로써 세포의 산화 작용이 개입하여 유발하는 각종 질환의 발생 또는 진행을 근본적으로 억제하게 되어 해당 질환을 예방 내지 치료할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.The present invention discloses an antioxidant composition for cells containing hyaluronic acid and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1) or a gene encoding the same as an active ingredient, and a method for antioxidantizing cells using the composition.

"활성 산소(Reactive Oxygen Species, ROS, '활성 산소종'으로 칭하는 경우도 있음)"는 산소(O2) 분자가 전자 1개를 받아 환원되면 안정적인 형태인 물(H2O) 분자로 전환될 때까지의 과정에서 생성되는 높은 에너지의 불안정한 산소들을 의미한다. 초과산화물 라디칼(Superoxide Anion Radical, ·O2-), 과산화수소(H2O2), 수산화 라디칼(Hydroxy Radical, HO·) 등이 대표적인 활성 산소로, 생체유지에 필수적인 호흡, 염증 등으로 인한 내부 요인과 자외선, 방사선, 흡연, 환경오염, 스트레스, 과식 등의 외부 요인으로 인해 발생된다.“Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS,” sometimes referred to as ‘reactive oxygen species’) is a chemical that can be converted into a stable water (H 2 O) molecule when an oxygen (O 2 ) molecule receives one electron and is reduced. This refers to high-energy, unstable oxygen generated during the process. Superoxide radicals (O 2- ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and hydroxy radicals (HO·) are representative active oxygen radicals, which are internal factors caused by breathing and inflammation, which are essential for maintaining the living body. It is caused by external factors such as ultraviolet rays, radiation, smoking, environmental pollution, stress, and overeating.
1950년대부터 Dr. Denham Harman, Dr. Earl Reece Stadtman 등에 의해 이러한 활성 산소들이 암, 고혈압, 당뇨, 동맥경화, 알츠하이머, 뇌졸중 등의 수많은 질병과 연관성이 있다고 보고되었는데, 이는 활성 산소들이 인체의 다른 분자들로부터 전자를 빼앗아 산화하여 안정적인 형태로 변하려는 성질로 인해 세포나 조직, DNA에 손상을 일으키기 때문이다.Since the 1950s, Dr. Denham Harman, Dr. It was reported by Earl Reece Stadtman and others that these free radicals are associated with numerous diseases such as cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer's, and stroke. This is because free radicals steal electrons from other molecules in the body and oxidize them into a stable form. This is because it causes damage to cells, tissues, and DNA due to its changing nature.
최근, 정상적으로 생성되거나 유지되는 낮은 농도의 활성 산소는 인체 면역체계 강화, 근육 재생, 당뇨 억제, 퇴행성 관절염 완화 등의 기능을 수행하는 것으로 알려져 세포 신호 전달과 항상성 유지에 반드시 필요한 물질로 인식되기도 하였다. 그러나, 비정상적으로 과도하게 생성되는 높은 농도의 활성 산소는 여전히 염증 발생, 변형 단백질 축적, 세포 이상증식으로 인한 종양 발생 등을 일으키므로 세포 내 활성 산소의 농도 조절에 관한 메커니즘이나 그에 대한 대책은 다양한 분야의 연구자들로부터 큰 관심을 받고 있다.Recently, low concentrations of reactive oxygen species, which are normally generated or maintained, are known to perform functions such as strengthening the human immune system, muscle regeneration, suppressing diabetes, and alleviating degenerative arthritis, and have been recognized as essential substances for cell signal transmission and homeostasis maintenance. However, the abnormally excessively generated high concentration of active oxygen still causes inflammation, accumulation of modified proteins, and tumor development due to abnormal cell proliferation, so the mechanism for controlling the concentration of active oxygen within cells and countermeasures are unknown in various fields. is receiving great attention from researchers.
인체는 이러한 활성 산소들을 제거하여 세포를 보호하기 위하여 초과산화물 불균등화효소(Superoxide Dismutase, SOD), 과산화수소 분해효소(Catalase), 글루타티온 과산화효소, 글루타티온 환원효소 등의 효소를 이용한 항산화 시스템을 원래 갖추고 있다. 그렇지만 이로는 충분하지 않으므로 사람들은 추가적으로 비타민류, 폴리페놀류, 미네랄류 등을 섭취하여 보완한다. 다만, 이들의 과다복용은 구역, 설사, 변비, 발진, 피로 등의 가벼운 부작용부터 뇌출혈, 폐암, 전립선암 등의 발생 증가와 같은 심각한 부작용을 초래하는 것으로 보고되어 있어서 종래부터 특정 질환을 앓고 있는 기저질환자의 복용은 논란이 되고 있다.The human body is originally equipped with an antioxidant system that uses enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), hydrogen peroxide decomposition enzyme (Catalase), glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase to remove these active oxygen radicals and protect cells. . However, since this is not enough, people supplement by taking additional vitamins, polyphenols, and minerals. However, their overdose has been reported to cause mild side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, rash, and fatigue, as well as serious side effects such as increased incidence of cerebral hemorrhage, lung cancer, and prostate cancer, and thus, the Its use by people with diseases is controversial.
따라서, 비정상적으로 과다 생성된 활성 산소에 대해 직접적인 소거능을 갖춤은 물론, 부작용없이 인체의 항산화 체계를 강화시켜줄 수 있는 물질의 개발은 활성 산소로부터 유래되는 수많은 질병의 예방과 치료를 통해 인류보건에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.Therefore, the development of a substance that not only has a direct scavenging ability against abnormally excessively generated free radicals, but can also strengthen the body's antioxidant system without side effects will greatly contribute to human health through the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases caused by free radicals. It is expected that it will contribute.

The present invention was completed by discovering surprising functions that can prevent or inhibit the action and normalize it.

It suggests that there is. However, nothing has been said about the antioxidant activity of cells.
또한 비특허문헌 1에는 "연골형성장애증 및 연골 link 단백질 결핍의 출생전후의 치사효과의 유전적 구제(Genetic Rescue of Chondrodysplasia and the Perinatal Lethal Effect of Cartilage Link Protein Deficiency)"에 관한 논문으로서 유전공학적으로 연골 link protein(Crtl1) 유전자를 파괴한 마우스에서는 연골형성장애가 나타나고 출생전후에 마우스가 사망하게 되나 Crtl1 null 마우스에 연골 특이적 link protein을 도입하여 과발현하면 비정상적인 연골 형성이 방지되고 출산 전후에 사망률이 낮아진다는 것과, Crtl1 전사체 및 그 단백질을 태아로부터 성체에 이르기까지 모든 기관에서 찾았다는 사실 등을 개시하고 있다. 그러나 여기에서도 세포에 대한 항산화 작용에 관해서는 전혀 언급된 바가 없다.In addition, Non-Patent Document 1 is a paper on "Genetic Rescue of Chondrodysplasia and the Perinatal Lethal Effect of Cartilage Link Protein Deficiency", which uses genetic engineering. Mice in which the cartilage link protein (Crtl1) gene is destroyed show cartilage dysplasia and the mice die before and after birth. However, if a cartilage-specific link protein is introduced and overexpressed in Crtl1 null mice, abnormal cartilage formation is prevented and the mortality rate before and after birth is reduced. and the fact that Crtl1 transcript and its protein were found in all organs from fetuses to adults. However, even here, nothing is mentioned about the antioxidant effect on cells.
생체 내의 세포에서 비정상적으로 과도하게 발생하는 산화 작용을 직접적으로 예방 내지 억제할 수 있다면 산화 작용 자체가 발병 원인으로 작용하거나 해당 산화작용이 이미 발병된 질환의 진행을 촉진하는 각종 질환에 대해 유효한 대비책이 될 것이며 이에 관한 요구는 항상 존재하고 있는 실정이다.If it is possible to directly prevent or suppress oxidation that occurs abnormally and excessively in cells within the body, it will be an effective countermeasure against various diseases in which the oxidation itself acts as a cause or promotes the progression of diseases that have already developed. This will happen, and the demand for this will always exist.

Fluorescence intensity was detected with a fluorescence photometer (Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Reader, BioTek Instruments) with an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 535 nm.
이의 결과를 나타낸 도 7에 따르면 본 발명의 조성물을 가한 후 시간이 지남에 따라 비례적으로 외부의 ROS 유입(H2O2)에 의해 과도하게 생성된 ROS의 수준이 유의하게 감소되는 것을 알 수 있다. 특히 본 발명의 조성물은 물론 H2O2도 가하지 않은 샘플인 대조군을 기준점으로 볼 경우 본 발명의 조성물을 처리하지 않은 샘플에 비하여 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)을 처리한 샘플은 처리 후 30분에 ROS의 수준이 약 1/6로 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 외부로부터 유입되는 ROS에 대해서도 본 발명의 조성물은 효과적으로 차단하여 항산화 작용을 예방적으로 실현할 수 있다는 것을 강력히 시사하는 것이다.According to Figure 7 showing the results, it can be seen that the level of ROS excessively generated by external ROS influx (H 2 O 2 ) is significantly reduced proportionally over time after adding the composition of the present invention. there is. In particular, when considering the control group, which is a sample to which neither the composition of the present invention nor H 2 O 2 was added, as a reference point, the sample treated with the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1) compared to the sample not treated with the composition of the present invention 30 minutes after treatment It was found that the level of ROS was reduced by about 1/6. This strongly suggests that the composition of the present invention can effectively block ROS flowing in from the outside and achieve preventive antioxidant action.

외부 유입의 ROS에 대한 인간 폐 미세혈관 내피세포에 대한 본 발명의 조성물의, 활성 산소 차단 지표의 확인Identification of the active oxygen blocking index of the composition of the present invention on human lung microvascular endothelial cells against external inflow of ROS
인간 폐 미세혈관 내피세포(HMVEC-L)를 T25 세포 배양 플라스크에 분주(seeding)(50000 cells/well)하고 EGMTM-2 완전 배지에서 37℃, 5% CO2 조건으로 24시간 동안 인큐베이트하였다. 이에 대해 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1) 30 ng/ml를 2시간 동안 처리한 군과 처리하지 않은 군으로 나누었다. 각 샘플에 대해 250μM로 외부로부터의 ROS로서 H2O2를 가하고 15분(도 8a), 2시간(도 8b) 동안 인큐베이트하였다. 지정된 시간 이후 웨스턴블롯으로 ROS에 대한 응답반응을 나타내는 지표가 되는 단백질 마커들인 pAkt, NRF2, pVEGFR2(Y1175) 및 VEGFR2와 발현 검증 마커인 GAPDH의 발현량을 검출하였다. Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) were seeded (50,000 cells/well) in a T25 cell culture flask and incubated in EGM TM -2 complete medium at 37°C and 5% CO 2 for 24 hours. . In this regard, the groups were divided into a group treated with 30 ng/ml of the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1) for 2 hours and a group not treated. For each sample, H 2 O 2 was added as external ROS at 250 μM and incubated for 15 minutes (Figure 8a) and 2 hours (Figure 8b). After the specified time, the expression level of protein markers pAkt, NRF2, pVEGFR2 (Y1175), and VEGFR2, which are indicators of response to ROS, and GAPDH, an expression verification marker, were detected by Western blot.
일반적으로 외부로부터의 ROS는 세포 내로 진입하면 Akt를 인산화(pAkt)시키고 이는 NRF2의 발현을 증가시키는데 이는 ROS에 대한 응답반응(response)이다. 그렇다면, pAkt 및 NRF2의 발현 수준은 세포 내로 진입하는 ROS의 수준을 반영할 수 있다. 즉 외부의 ROS가 세포내로 진입할 경우 PI3K/Akt를 통하여 NRF2를 활성화하게 되고 이와 같이 NRF2가 활성화되면 전사인자로서 세포핵으로 진입하여 여러가지 항산화 효소(anti-oxidation enzyme)를 전사시킨다. 여기서 항산화 효소의 발현은 수 시간이 걸리는 과정으로서 결과적으로는 세포내로 진입한 ROS가 세포의 산화를 유도하게 한다.Generally, when ROS from outside enters the cell, it phosphorylates Akt (pAkt), which increases the expression of NRF2, which is a response to ROS. If so, the expression levels of pAkt and NRF2 may reflect the levels of ROS entering the cell. That is, when external ROS enters the cell, it activates NRF2 through PI3K/Akt. When NRF2 is activated, it enters the cell nucleus as a transcription factor and transcribes various anti-oxidation enzymes. Here, the expression of antioxidant enzymes is a process that takes several hours, and ultimately causes ROS entering the cells to induce oxidation of the cells.
본 실험 결과에 따르면 인체는 ROS가 침투할 경우 이의 제거를 위해 자연스레 Akt의 인산화를 통해 특히 항산화 관련 전사인자(NRF2)를 활성화시킨다는 것을 알 수 있다(도 8a에서 중간 레인). 그러나 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)을 전처리(30 ng/mL)한 경우에는 H2O2처리 15분 후에 pAkt 및 NRF2의 발현 수준이 본 발명의 조성물로 전처리하지 않은 경우에 비해 그다지 증가하지 않는다(도 8a에서 우측 레인). 여기서 본 발명의 조성물을 전처리한 경우에 pAkt 및 NRF2의 발현 수준이 증가하지 않았다는 것은 세포 내로 진입한 ROS의 양이 적다는 의미이다. 이는 본 발명의 조성물이 외부 ROS의 세포 내 진입을 차단하는 효과에 있어서 자연상태의 경우보다 훨씬 뛰어난 것을 나타내는 것이다. 물론 이에 따라 세포의 산화를 유도하는 정도도 낮아지게 될 것이다.According to the results of this experiment, the human body naturally activates the antioxidant-related transcription factor (NRF2) through phosphorylation of Akt to remove ROS when it infiltrates (middle lane in Figure 8a). However, when pretreated (30 ng/mL) with the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1), the expression levels of pAkt and NRF2 did not increase significantly after 15 minutes of H 2 O 2 treatment compared to the case where the composition of the present invention was not pretreated ( right lane in Figure 8A). Here, the fact that the expression levels of pAkt and NRF2 did not increase when pretreated with the composition of the present invention means that the amount of ROS entering the cells was small. This indicates that the composition of the present invention is much more effective than the natural state in blocking the entry of external ROS into cells. Of course, this will also lower the degree to which oxidation of cells is induced.
한편, VEGFR2는 내피 세포의 증식, 생존 및 혈관 생성의 마커로서 1175번 아미노산인 티로신(tyrosine)이 인산화되면 분해가 시작된다. 그러나 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)은 이러한 인산화를 억제하여 VEGFR2의 세포표면 제시량을 증가시킴으로써 혈관 내 내피세포에서 증식, 생존 및 혈관생성을 위한 신호를 촉발할 수 있게 된다고 해석할 수 있다. 즉 도 8b에 따르면 ROS로서 H2O2처리 2시간 후에는 VEGFR2의 발현량이 ROS가 없는 자연상태의 경우에 비하여 상당히 떨어지지만 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)을 전처리한 경우에는 그 발현량이 상당히 회복된 것으로 나타난다. Meanwhile, VEGFR2 is a marker of endothelial cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis, and its decomposition begins when tyrosine, amino acid 1175, is phosphorylated. However, it can be interpreted that the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1) inhibits this phosphorylation and increases the amount of VEGFR2 displayed on the cell surface, thereby triggering signals for proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis in endothelial cells within blood vessels. That is, according to Figure 8b, after 2 hours of treatment with H 2 O 2 as ROS, the expression level of VEGFR2 is significantly lower than in the natural state without ROS, but when pretreated with the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1), the expression level is significantly recovered. It appears that
결과적으로 위 실험결과를 통하여 외부로부터 유입되는 ROS에 대해 본 발명의 조성물이 항산화 작용을 나타내는 메커니즘을 가늠할 수 있다.As a result, through the above experimental results, it is possible to estimate the mechanism by which the composition of the present invention exhibits an antioxidant effect against ROS introduced from the outside.

외부 유입의 ROS에 대한 인간 폐 미세혈관 내피세포에 대한 본 발명의 조성물의, 활성 산소에 의한 세포증식 억제를 방지하는 능력의 확인Confirmation of the ability of the composition of the present invention to prevent inhibition of cell proliferation by active oxygen in human lung microvascular endothelial cells against external ROS.
인간 폐 미세혈관 내피세포(HMVEC-L)를 96 웰 배양 플레이트에 분주(seeding)(1500 cells/well)하고 EGMTM-2 완전 배지에서 37℃, 5% CO2 조건으로 24시간 동안 인큐베이트하였다. 이에 대해 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)을 일정한 농도(3, 10, 30 ng/ml)로 2시간 동안 처리하였다. 세포 샘플들에 대해 H2O2를 1mM로 가하고 24시간(도 9의 A) 또는 48시간(도 9의 B) 동안 인큐베이트하였다. 세포의 증식은 Cell Counting kit-8 (Dojindo)로 평가하였다.Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) were seeded (1500 cells/well) in a 96 well culture plate and incubated in EGM TM -2 complete medium at 37°C and 5% CO 2 for 24 hours. . In response, the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1) was treated at constant concentrations (3, 10, 30 ng/ml) for 2 hours. H 2 O 2 was added to the cell samples at 1mM and incubated for 24 hours (A in FIG. 9) or 48 hours (B in FIG. 9). Cell proliferation was assessed using Cell Counting kit-8 (Dojindo).
도 9는 세포 외부로부터 직접 활성 산소(ROS)가 유입되었을 때 본 발명 조성물의 투여량에 따른 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)에 의한 세포 증식율의 변화를 나타낸다. 즉 인간 폐 미세혈관 내피세포에 대해 본 발명의 조성물(rhHAPLN1)을 0, 3, 10, 및 30 ng/ml을 첨가할 경우 본 발명의 조성물을 처리하지 않은 경우에 비해 세포의 증식률이 훨씬 증가된 것을 알 수 있다. 특히 48시간이 지난 후에 본 발명의 조성물을 처리하지 않은 경우는 세포의 증식률이 24시간이 지난 후에 비해 절반으로 떨어졌으나 본 발명의 조성물을 3 ng/ml 이상으로 첨가한 경우 그의 2배 정도로 높게 유지되고 있는 것으로 나타난다. 이는 외부로부터 유입되는 ROS가 세포의 증식을 억제하는 작용을 본 발명의 조성물은 효과적으로 방지할 수 있다는 것을 강력히 시사하는 것이다.Figure 9 shows the change in cell proliferation rate by the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1) according to the dosage of the composition of the present invention when reactive oxygen species (ROS) are introduced directly from the outside of the cell. That is, the composition of the present invention (rhHAPLN1) was administered to human lung microvascular endothelial cells at 0, 3, 10, and 30. It can be seen that when ng/ml is added, the proliferation rate of cells is significantly increased compared to the case where the composition of the present invention is not treated. In particular, when the composition of the present invention was not treated after 48 hours, the cell proliferation rate was reduced to half compared to after 24 hours, but the composition of the present invention was used for 3 hours. When added at ng/ml or more, it appears to be maintained at about twice that level. This strongly suggests that the composition of the present invention can effectively prevent the action of ROS introduced from the outside to inhibit cell proliferation.
