In the present study, protective effect of phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced oxidative cell damage was investigated in rat pancreatic β-cells, RINm5F. Phloroglucinol was significantly decreased the level of STZ-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced STZ-induced loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Phloroglucinol enhanced cell viability against STZ-induced cell damage and inhibited STZ-induced apoptotic cell death, confirmed by formation of apoptotic bodies and sub G 1 phase. These results suggest that phloroglucinol exhibits protective effects on STZ-induced oxidative cell damage-mediated apoptosis in rat RINm5F pancreatic β-cells.

Phlorogucinol 화합물은라디칼을소거하는효과를나타내며, 13,14) ionizing radiation이유도하는 ROS의억제효과와세포손상에대한보호효과를나타내었다. 15) 따라서본연구에서는 phloroglucinol를이용하여췌장베타세포에서 streptozotocin이유발하는세포내산화적손상의억제와세포보호효과를살펴보고자한다. 1. 세포배양 재료및방법 Rat 췌장세포 RINm5F 세포들을 RPMI 1640 (10% FBS 첨가, 1% 항생제포함 ) 배지에현탁하여 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서배양하고실험에사용하였다. 2. 세포생존율측정 RINm5F 세포에 phloroglucinol를처리한후 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서 1시간배양후에 STZ (stock 1 M) 을 final concentration 10 mm가되도록가한후다시배양기에서 24시간동안배양하였다. MTT법은 mitochondria의호흡으로노란색의수용성 MTT가보라색의 formazan 결정이되는원리를이용한방법이다. 16) 즉, 세포에 MTT (3-(4,5- Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; stock 10 mg/ml) 을 10μg/ml가되도록처리하여 4시간동안배양후에배양액을제거하고유기용매인 Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 를 150μl 넣어 formazan을녹인후에 540 nm 파장에서흡광도를측정하였다. Well당세포수가약 1.2 10 5 cells/ml 되도록 96 well에각각접종한후에 10 mm STZ을처리한후다시 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서 12시간배양하였다. DCF-DA (dichlorofluorescin diacetate, stock 500μM) 시약을 20μl 씩처리한후분광광도계 (excitation 485 nm, emission 535 nm) 로측정하였다. 17) 또한유동세포분석기로측정하기위해 well당세포수가약 1.2 10 5 cells/ml 되도록 6 well에각각접종한후에 10 mm STZ 를가한후다시 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서 12시간배양한후 DCF-DA 시약을가한후유동세포분석기 (Becton Dikins, FL1-H) 로측정하였다. ROS의양을형광현미경으로측정하기위하여 well당세포수가약 1.2 10 5 cells/ml 되도록 4 well 배양용슬라이드에각각접종한후에 10 mm STZ 가한후다시 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서 12시간배양하였다. 그후에 DCF-DA 시약을가한후 Mounting medium을넣어 cover 슬라이드로덮은후 Laser Scanning Microscope 5 PASCAL program을이용하여형광현미경으로 (FITC-Ch2) 측정하였다. 4. 세포사멸측정 RINm5F 세포에 phloroglucinol를처리한후 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서 1시간배양후에 10 mm STZ을가한후다시배양기에서 24시간동안배양하였다. Propidium iodide (PI) 염색법은 Tripsin/EDTA로세포를떼어내고모은세포를 70% EtOH로고정한후에 PBS로두번세척한후 100μg/ml RNase로 RNA를제거하고 100μg/ml PI 염색시약을처리후 30분동안배양하여 DNA를염색하여유동세포분석기의 FL-2 파장으로 sub G 1 기를통해세포사멸을확인하였다. 18) 5. Hoechst 33342 염색에의한세포핵의형태관찰 Well당약 1.2 10 5 cells/ml 세포수가되도록 24 well에각각접종한후에 phloroglucinol 처리한후 37 o C, 5% CO 2 배양기에서 1시간배양후에 STZ을가한후다시배양기에서 24시간동안배양하였다. Hoechst 33342 형광염색약을처리하고 10분간배양한후 Laser Scanning Microscope 5 PASCAL program을이용하여형광현미경으로관찰하였다. 1. ROS 의소거효과 결과및고찰 RINm5F 세포에 Streptozotocin (STZ) 로유도된 ROS 의

The cells were treated with phloroglucinol at 10μg/ml. After 1 h, 10 mm of STZ was added to the plate. Next, cells were incubated for 24 h and intracellular ROS were detected using (A) a fluorescence spectrophotometer, (B) flow cytometer and (C) confocal microscope after DCF-DA staining. *Significantly different from control (p<0.05), and **significantly different from STZ treated cells (p<0.05). 양과 STZ을 phloroglucinol과병행처리시세포내 ROS 양을분광광도계로측정한결과, STZ에유도된세포내 ROS 생성량에비하여 STZ과 phloroglucinol을병행처리하였을때세포내 ROS 생성량이감소하는것을관찰할수있었다 (Fig. 2A). 다음으로유동세포분석기를이용하여세포내 ROS를측정한결과, STZ 처리시형광강도값이 233을나타냈으며, STZ과 phloroglucinol을병행처리시형광강도값이 131로감소함을확인할수있었으며, 이를통하여 phloroglucinol을처리하였을때, 유의적으로세포내 ROS를억제하는것을관찰할수있었다 (Fig. 2B). 형광현미경을이용하여세포내 ROS를측정한결과, 대조군또는 phloroglucinol을처리하였을때, ROS에의한형광이발현되지않는것을관찰할수있었으며, 반면에 STZ 처리시세포내 ROS가현저하게증가하는 것을확인할수있었다. 그리고, STZ와 phloroglucinol을병행처리하였을때, STZ만을처리하였을때보다현저히형광강도가감소하는것을확인하였다 (Fig. 2C). 따라서 phloroglucinol이 STZ에의해유도되는세포내 ROS를소거시킴으로써산화적손상을억제함을확인할수있었다. 2. 세포손상보호효과 Streptozotocin (STZ) 처리시세포손상으로인해세포생존에영향을나타내는지를 MTT 실험으로확인한결과, STZ 처리시세포생존율이 64% 로감소하였으나 STZ 과 phloroglucinol을병행처리하였을때, 세포생존율이 76% 로증가함에따라세포손상을억제함을확인할수있었다 (Fig. 3A). STZ 산화적손상에따른세포사멸을

98 Cancer Prevention Research Vol. 17, No. 2, 2012 Fig. 3. The effect of phloroglucinol on STZ-induced cell demage. Cells were treated with phloroglucinol at 10μg/ml, followed by STZ at 1 h later. Next, the cells were incubated for 24 h. (A) The cell viability cells after STZ treatment was determined by MTT assay. (B) The apoptotic sub G 1 DNA content was detected by a flow cytometry after propidium iodide staining. (C) Apoptotic body formation was observed under a fluorescence microscope after Hoechst 33342 staining and arrows indicate apoptotic bodies. *Significantly different from control (p<0.05), and **significantly different from STZ treated cells (p<0.05). phloroglucinol이보호하는지를측정하기위하여 PI 염색방법을이용하여 sub G 1 세포를 FACS를통하여확인한결과, STZ처리시 sub G 1 세포가 35% 로나타났으며, STZ 과 phloroglucinol을병행처리하였을때, sub G 1 세포가 14% 감소되었다 (Fig. 3B). 또한 Hoechst 33342 염색을통한세포핵의형태관찰한결과 STZ 처리시핵분절현상이현저히증가하였으나 STZ과 phloroglucinol을병행처리하였을때, 핵및 DNA 분절현상이감소되었다 (Fig. 3C). 따라서 STZ가유도하는세포손상에대하여 phloroglucinol이보호효과가있다는것을확인하였다. 이상의결과로부터췌장베타세포에서 STZ 처리시유도된산화적손상에대해 phloroglucinol이이를억제함으로서세포손상을보호하는역할을한다는것을알수있었다. 결론본연구에서는췌장베타세포 (RINm5F) 에서 STZ가유도하는산화적스트레스에의해세포내 ROS의생성과세포사멸을일으키는데있어서천연물보고해양생물중해조류의감태에서부터분리한 phlorotannin 계열인 phloroglucinol의세포내보호효과를관찰하였다. 췌장베타세포에서세포내 ROS의양을 DCF-DA시약처리후분광광도계, 유동세포분석기, 형광현미경으로측정한결과, STZ 처리시세포내 ROS의양이증가하였다. 반면에 STZ과 phloroglucinol을병행처리한결과, 세포내 ROS 의양이현저히감소함을알수있었다. 또한세포손상
