서 론
최근영양과잉및불균형, 운동부족, 스트레스등으로발생하 는고혈압, 고지혈증, 당뇨병과같은대사증후군은죽상동맥경 화증을일으키는주요위험인자로, 이들질환의증가로인해유 발되는심혈관질환으로사망률이증가하면서사회적문제로 대두되고있다(Lee et al., 2012a). 혈관내피세포에서일어나는 대표적인염증성질환인죽상동맥경화증은혈관이나혈관벽내 염증생성으로염증성사이토카인의자극에의해혈류중단핵 세포또는거식세포가혈관내피세포에부착하게되면서시작된
다(Packard and Libby, 2008). 혈관의내막에콜레스테롤이침 착되고, 내피세포가증식하면죽종이형성되는데이는혈관의 내강을좁히고혈전을형성하며, 협심증, 심근경색, 심내막염, 부정맥등의심장질환을비롯하여뇌경색, 뇌출혈과같은뇌혈 관질환, 그외에도신부전, 허혈성사지질환과같은각종합병 증을유발하기도한다(Lee et al., 2012b; Cho et al., 2016). 이러 한심혈관계질환과여러가지합병증을유발하는혈관성염증 을억제할수있는안전하고효과가좋은혈관성염증억제제를 천연물로부터개발하고자많은연구가진행되고있다.

Arteriosclerosis is the major cause of coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease, which are leading causes of death.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines induce injury to vascular endothelial cells by increasing cell adhesion molecules, leading to vascular inflammation, a major risk factor for the development of arteriosclerosis. In the current study, we investi- gated the inhibitory effect of enzymatic hydrolysate from Japanese mud shrimp Upogebia major on the inflammation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We first evalu- ated the antioxidant and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of eight U. major enzymatic hydrolysates: alcalase, papain, α-chymotrypsin (α-Chy), trypsin, pepsin, neutrase, protamex and flavourzyme. Of these, α-Chy exhibited potent antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities. The α-Chy hydrolysate was fractionated by two ultrafiltration membranes of 3 and 10 kDa. The α-Chy hydrolysate of U. major and its molecular weight cut-off fractions resulted in a significant reduction in NO production and a decrease in cell adhesion molecules [vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and endothelial-selectin (E-selectin)]
and pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)] in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs. These results suggest that enzymatic hydrolysate from U. major can be used in the control and prevention of vascular inflammation and arteriosclerosis.

동결건조한 쏙을 8개의효소로가수분해하고, 각각의 효소 가수분해물의가수분해도를 측정하였다(Table 1). 쏙의 가수 분해도는α-Chy 가수분해물(67.91±0.02%)>Fla 가수분해물 (67.84±0.03%)>Pep 가수분해물(67.47±0.06%)>Pro 가수 분해물(67.32±0.09%)>Neu 가수분해물(65.76±0.08%) >Pa 가수분해물(65.09±0.05%)>Alc 가수분해물(63.82±0.04%)
>Try 가수분해물(63.13±0.04%)의순으로나타났다. 8개의효 소가수분해물중α-Chy 가수분해물의가수분해도가가장높은 것으로나타났다.
항산화 및 ACE 억제 활성
우리몸의대사과정또는외부적요인에의해서생성되는활 성산소종은세포막과 DNA 손상, 단백질과지질의산화를초래 하면서세포에서의신호전달체계를망가뜨리고면역력을저하 시키는등세포의정상적인기능을차단함으로써염증, 동맥경 화, 암등여러만성질환을유발한다(Nardin, 2001). 체내에서 활성산소종의증가는동맥경화 생성과정에서각종 cytokine, growth factor 등의분비를증가시키고, 혈관긴장도의증가, 염 증세포의침착, 세포분열및 apoptosis를유발한다고알려져있 다(Kunsch and Medford, 1999).
고혈압은심혈관계질환을일으키는주요위험인자중하나 로동맥경화증의예방과관리를위해서는이를예방하는것이 중요하다. 고혈압과관련된혈관염증을유발할수있는인자 들중가장핵심으로는 angiotensin-II가있는데, 이는혈관내피 세포평활근세포에서 superoxide anion의형성을유도하여산 화적스트레스를증가시키며, VCAM-1, IL-6, MCP-1 등의발 현을증가시켜 염증반응을유도한다. ACE는 angiotensin-I을 angiotensin-II로전환시킴으로써혈관을수축시키고, 신장에서 나트륨과수분의과흡수를일으켜혈압을상승시킨다. 따라서
이러한작용을저해하는 ACE 억제제는고혈압을비롯한심혈
관질환의치료에널리사용되고있다(Parish and Miller, 1992;
Paul et al., 2006; Takahashi et al., 2011).
혈관염증의유발에관여하는활성산소종및 ACE의활성을 억제하는 능력을확인하기 위하여쏙의 8개 효소가수분해물 의항산화활성(ABTS+및 DPPH 라디칼소거활성, reducing power)과 ACE 억제활성을측정하였다(Table 2). 쏙효소가수 분해물의 ABTS+라디칼소거능은 IC50 값이 0.08-0.18 mg/mL 였으며, 이들중 Alc, α-Chy, Fla, Neu, Pro 가수분해물에서높 은활성을나타내었다. DPPH 라디칼소거활성에서는 8개의 효소가수분해물중 α-Chy 가수분해물이 IC50 값이 2.87±0.18 mg/mL로가장높은활성을보였으며, Reducing power에서도 α-Chy 가수분해물이 EC50 값이 1.77±0.13 mg/mL로가장강 한활성을나타내었다. ACE 억제활성에서는쏙의 Alc, α-Chy,

Pro 가수분해물들이높은활성을나타내었다.
이들결과로부터쏙의 8개효소가수분해물중항산화및 ACE 억제능에서높은활성을나타낸 α-Chy 가수분해물로부터혈관 성염증억제활성을평가하고자하였다.
HUVEC 세포에 대한 독성
HUVEC에대한쏙 α-Chy 가수분해물과분획물의세포독성
을측정하였다(Fig. 1). 쏙 α-Chy 가수분해물과분획물을농도 별(0.125-1 mg/mL)로 처리한결과, 쏙 α-Chy 가수분해물은 0.125-0.5 mg/mL의농도에서는 80% 이상의생존율을나타내 었으며, 분획물에서는모든농도에서세포독성이나타나지않 았다.
NO 생성 억제 효과
염증매개물질중하나인 NO의과도한생성은림프구증식 을억제하고정상세포에손상을유발하여염증질환을유발한다 고알려져있다(Korhonen et al., 2005). TNF-α로염증반응을 유도한 HUVEC 세포에서쏙의 α-Chy 가수분해물과분획물들 의염증매개물질인 NO 생성억제효과를측정하였다(Fig. 2).
쏙 α-Chy 가수분해물과분획물은 HUVEC 세포에서 TNF-α 의처리로과량생성된 NO를유의적으로억제하는것으로나 타났다.
세포부착인자(Cell adhesion molecules, CAMs) 의 발현에 미치는 영향
혈관의만성염증성질환인동맥경화는세포부착인자의매개 로혈중에존재하는고농도의콜레스테롤을이동시키는데관 여하는지질단백질과, 세포외기질, 칼슘과면역세포가혈관내 피세포에서참착되어발생한다(Peter et al., 1997; Koo et al.,
2014). 동맥경화의진행과관련된대표적인염증표지자는세
포부착인자(VCAM-1, ICAM-1, E-selectin)와염증성사이토 카인(IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1)이알려져있으며, 이들은각각독립 적인위험인자로보고된바있다(Bae et al., 2008).
본연구에서는 TNF-α로염증반응이유발된 HUVEC 세포
에서쏙의 α-Chy 가수분해물과분획물들이세포부착인자의발
현에미치는영향을평가하였다(Fig. 3). TNF-α 처리에의해 유도된 VCAM-1은쏙 α-Chy 가수분해물을처리함에따라농 도의존적으로감소하는것으로나타났으며, 특히, 0.25 mg/mL 이상의농도를처리한군에서는유의적인감소를나타내었다. 또한, 쏙 α-Chy 가수분해물의 3개의분획물, <3 kDa 분획물, 3-10 kDa 분획물, >10 kDa 분획물들은모든농도(0.125-1 mg/
mL)에서 VCAM-1의발현을유의적으로감소시켰으며, 특히
>10 kDa 분획물을처리한군에서가장강력한억제효과가나 타났다.
HUVEC 세포에서염증반응으로과량발현된 ICAM-1은쏙
α-Chy 가수분해물을처리함에따라감소하는경향을보였으
며, 0.25 mg/mL 이상의농도를처리한군에서유의적으로감
