초록

연구목적: 식물성 에스트로겐이 포함된 두류 섭취는 폐경 증상 완화에 효과가 있다. 하지만 이런 효과가 어떻게 일어나는지는 명확하지 않다. 본 연구는 폐경 쥐 모델에서 폐경 후 변화에 두류가 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구재료 및 방법: Female Sprague-Dawley rats 16마리를 이용하였다. 3마리는 Sham operation을 시행하여 대조군으로사용하였고, 13마리는 양쪽 난소절제술을 시행하였다. Sham군에게는 AIN-93M diet (n = 3)를 공급하였고, 난소 절제한 rat을 세군으로 나누어 두류가 포함된 실험 식이를 공급하였다. 각 군마다 다른 실험 식이를 공급하고, 10주간 사육하였다. 마지막 주에 sacrifice하여 자궁을 적출하고 무게를 측정하였다. 적출한 자궁에서 비타민 D 수용체 (vitamin D receptor, VDR), 에스트로겐 수용체 (estrogen receptor, ER) β, ezrin의 발현을 면역조직화학염색을 통해 확인해 보았다. 결과: VDR은 폐경상태와 관계없이 자궁내에서 뚜렷하게 발현하였다. 오히려 난소를 절제한 군에서 VDR이 더 뚜렷하게 발현하고 있었다. ER β의 발현은 차이가 없었다. 하지만 녹두가 포함된 식이를 제공한 군에서 ezrin의 발현이 증가해 있었다 (P = 0.044). 결론: 이번 연구는 향후 두류 섭취로 인한 폐경 증상 완화 치료의 가능성을 분자생물학적인 관점에서 살펴보았다는데의의가 있다. 하지만 VDR, ER β 그리고 ezrin의 폐경 후 자궁에서의 역할에 대한 자세한 기전을 위해서는 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Abstract

Objectives: Phytoestrogen-containing pulse supplements have beneficial effects on postmenopausal symptoms, but how such effects are achieved is unclear. This study investigates the effects of pulse consumption on the menopausal changes in ovariectomized rats. Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats were either sham operated (Sham; n = 3) or surgically ovariectomized (n = 13). The Sham group was fed the regular AIN-93M diet. Ovariectomized group was divided into 3 sub-groups and fed AIN-93M containing soybean (n = 5), mung bean (n = 3), or cowpea (n = 5) for 10 weeks. At the end of the experiment, all rats were sacrificed, and the uterus was harvested, rinsed, and weighed. Expressions of vitamin D receptor (VDR), estrogen receptor (ER) β, and ezrin in uterus were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results: VDR was highly expressed in the uterus of rat, irrespective of ovariectomized state. VDR was more definitely expressed in the uterus of ovariectomized groups than the sham-operated group. There were no significant differences in expression of ER β. However the expression of ezrin was highly expressed in the cowpea group compared to sham group (P = 0.044). Conclusion: This study suggested that legumes diet may concern menopausal changes via VDR and ezrin. The result may partly explain the beneficial effects of VDR on menopausal symptoms. Further study is necessary to study the detailed mechanisms of VDR and ezrin on the menopausal changes in the uterus.
