지치 (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) 뿌리의 망막세포 보호효과에 대한 연구

초록/요약

This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Lithospermum erythrorhizon on the retinal degeneration in vitro and in vivo. Oxidative stress was induced in retinal precursor cells (R28) by L-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) plus glutamate. Among the five systematic fractions tested, dichloromethane fraction of L. erythrorhizon (MCLE) showed a significantly higher cell viability compared to the negative control. Treatment of MCLE reduced the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and restored glutathione levels in R28 cells. The apoptotic proteins (Bax, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and cleaved caspase-3) were down-regulation by treatment of MCLE. In an animal model, optic nerve crush (ONC) was performed in C57BL/6 mice and MCLE was orally administered throughout the experimental period. Oral administration of MCLE was markedly protective retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and inhibited loss of the thickness of retinal layers. These results demonstrated that MCLE has protective effects against retinal degeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, MCLE could be a beneficial agent for treatment of retinal degeneration, such as glaucoma.
