Abstract

표고버섯균사체 고체배양물 분말과 액체배양물 분말을 2:1 (w/w)로 혼합한 시료 (LED로 명명)가 <TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX>로 유발된 숫컷 쥐의 간독성을 보호하는 효과에 대해 연구하였다. Vehicle 처리군(0.2 ml 증류수), Control 처리군(0.2 ml 증류수), LED 처리군(LED 100, 200, 300, 400 mg/kg BW을 0.2 ml 증류수에 각각 혼합), 그리고 Silymarin 처리군(200 mg/kg을 0.2 ml 증류수에 용해)의 각 처리군(군당 여섯 마리)에 매일 2주간 투여한 다음, Vehicle 처리군을 제외한 모든 군에 <TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX> (<TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX>:corn oil, 1:1 v/v; 0.5 ml/kg BW)를 복부에 주사하였다. 하루가 지난 후에 생화학적 지표성분을 분석하기 위해 혈액과 간 시료를 채취하였다. 모든 LED 처리에 의해 간 SOD, catalase, 그리고 GSH peroxidase의 활성이 증가하였으며, TBARS, tumor necrosis factor-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX> (TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX>), interleukin-<TEX>$1{\beta}$</TEX> (IL-<TEX>$1{\beta}$</TEX>) 그리고 interleukin-6 (IL-6)가 감소하였다. 그 결과, 혈청중의 GOT, GPT, 그리고 LDH의 활성이 감소하였다. LED의 간 기능 보호효과가 가장 효과적으로 나타난 처리농도는 200 mg/kg BW였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 LED는 <TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX>로 유발된 SD 쥐의 간 손상을 보호하며, 이는 LED의 항산화능과 cytokine의 감소에 의한 것이다. 따라서, LED는 사람의 간독성보호를 위해 효과적으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. The protective effects of a powder mixed with solid-cultured and liquid-cultured Lentinus edodes mycelia (2 : 1, w/w) (designate LED) with different doses of carbon tetrachloride (<TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX>) on induced hepatotoxicity in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was investigated. The rats were divided into seven groups (6 rats/group) and the following substances were administered orally to each group: Vehicle (0.2 ml distilled water), Control (0.2 ml distilled water), LED (LED 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg BW in 0.2 ml distilled water), and Silymarin (200 mg/Kg BW in 0.2 ml distilled water). After two weeks of daily administration, all groups except for the Vehiclegroup were subjected to abdominal injection with <TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX> (<TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX> : corn oil, 1 : 1 v/v; 0.5 ml/kg BW). One day later, blood and liver samples were collected to analyze biomarkers. All LED treatments elevated hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GSH peroxidase) activities, and reduced thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS), tumor necrosis factor-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX> (TNF-<TEX>$\alpha$</TEX>), interleukin-<TEX>$1{\beta}$</TEX> (IL-<TEX>$1{\beta}$</TEX>) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), resulting in the reduction of glutamate-oxalate transaminase (GOT), glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in plasma. These results indicate that LED effectively protected SD rat hepatotoxicity induced by <TEX>$CCl_4$</TEX> through its antioxidative activity and reduction of some cytokines. The highest efficacy was found in LED 200 mg/kg BW, showing potential as a useful material for protection from hepatotoxicity in humans.
