Inhibitory Effects of Herb and Seeds of Oenothera odorata on the Melanogenesis = 월견초 및 월견자의 멜라닌 생성 억제효과

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목적 : 월견초는 다량의 불포화 지방산인 리놀렌산과 감마 리놀렌산을 함유하고 있으며, 천식성 기침이나 아토피피부염에 효능이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 월견초의 전초와 종자 추출물의 피부 멜라닌 합성에 대한 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 방법 : B16F10 멜라닌세포주를 이용하여 멜라닌, tyrosinase 활성 및 세포생존율을 측정하였다. 또한 멜라닌 합성- 관련효소인 tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2의 단백질발현과 $\alpha$-MSH를 처리하여 색소침착을 유도 한 뒤 단백질 발현을 조사하였다. 결과 : 월견자는 B16F10 세포의 멜라닌 합성을 $5\;{\mu}g/ml$와 $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 각각 대조군의 81.3%, 68.3%로 억제하였고 tyrosinase의 활성도 이와 유사하게 억제하였다. 멜라닌 합성-관련효소들의 단백질발현을 관찰한 결과 월견초와 월견자는 tyrosinase 발현을 억제하였으며 TRP-1과 TRP-2의 발현에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 특히 $\alpha$-MSH에 의한 과색소 유도 시 tyrosinase 발현이 현저하게 감소되었으며, 월견자의 멜라닌 합성 억제 효과가 월견초 보다 높게 나타났다. 결론 : 이상의 연구 결과 월견자는 멜라닌세포의 tyrosinase 단백질 발현과 tyrosinase 활성을 억제하여 멜라닌 생성을 감소시키는 것으로 사료된다.
