Abstract

LP9M80-H는 맥문동(<TEX>$Liriope$</TEX> <TEX>$platyphylla$</TEX>)으로부터 메탄올과 헥산을 이용하여 추출한 새로운 추출물로서 ICR 마우스에서 인슐린분비를 촉진하며, 간과 뇌 조직에서 인슐린 신호경로를 활성화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 LP9M80-H가 당뇨와 비만의 치료에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위하여, OLETF 모델동물에 LP9M80-H를 2주간 투여한 후 당뇨와 비만과 관련된 주요인자의 변화를 관찰하였다. 비록 체중은 두 집단간에 차이가 없었으나 복부 지방량은 vehicle 투여군보다 LP9M80-H 투여군에서 적었다. 또한, 혈중 포도당농도는 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드가 대조군에 비하여 약간 낮았으나 인슐린의 농도는 유의적으로 크게 증가하였다. 혈청 내 3가지 주요 지질의 농도는 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, 지방의 산화를 촉진하는 아디포넥틴의 농도도 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 감소하였다. 더불어, 체내에 분비된 인슐린이 표적장기에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 간조직에서 인슐린 수용체와 인슐린 수용체기질(iRS)의 발현을 관찰하였으며, 이러한 2가지 단백질은 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 vehicle 투여군에 비해 유의미하게 감소하였다. 또한, 인슐린 신호 경로의 다운스트림에 위치하는 포도당 수송체 중에서 Glut-2와 Glut-3 발현은 LP9M80-H를 투여한 OLETF 랫드에서 유의미하게 감소하는 반면에, Glut-4 발현은 일정하게 유지되었다. 따라서 이러한 결과는 LP9M80-H는 포도당 항상성과 지질농도의 조절을 통하여 당뇨와 비만의 증상을 완화시키는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다. It was reported that the novel compounds (LP9M80-H) of <TEX>$Liriope$</TEX> <TEX>$platyphylla$</TEX> regulate glucose transporter (Glut) biosynthesis by activating the insulin-signaling pathway in the liver and brain of ICR mice. To investigate the therapeutic effects of LP9M80-H on the pathology of diabetes and obesity, alterations of key factors related to symptoms were analyzed in the Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats treated with LP9M80-H for 2 weeks. The abdominal fat masses in the LP9M80-H-treated group were lower than the vehicle-treated group, although there was no difference in body weight between the two groups. Additionally, when compared to the vehicle-treated group, LP9M80-H treatment induced a significant decrease in glucose levels and an increase in the insulin concentration in the blood of OLETF rats. A high level of insulin protein was also detected in pancreatic <TEX>${\beta}$</TEX> cells of LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats. A significant reduction in the concentration of lipids and adiponectin was detected only in LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats. Furthermore, the expression of insulin receptor <TEX>${\beta}$</TEX> and the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) was dramatically decreased in LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats compared to the vehicle-treated group. Of the glucose transporters located downstream of the insulin-signaling pathway, glucose transporters (Glut) -2 and -3 were significantly decreased in LP9M80-H-treated OLETF rats, while the level of Glut-4 was maintained under all conditions. Therefore, these results suggest that LP9M80-H may contribute to relieving symptoms of diabetes and obesity through glucose homeostasis and regulation of lipid concentration.
