Abstract

We investigated the immunomodulatory actions of water extract from Acanthopanax senticosus in male ICR mice. The mice were treated with fermented milk containing three added doses of freeze dried extract: 3 mg/kg (A), 9 mg/kg (B), and 27 mg/kg (C) of body weight with Acanthopanax senticosus: Codonopsis lanceolata (8:2) for 7 and 10 weeks, respectively. Organ weights, plaque-forming cell tests, agglutination tests, IgG tests, differential white cell counts, and histological tests were performed at the 7th and 10th weeks of dietary treatment. There were no significant differences in body weight and organ weight. The spleen indices of group B at 7 weeks and group C at 10 weeks were significantly higher than those of the control group (p<0.05). For the plaque-forming cell test, groups B and C at 7 weeks, and group C at 10 weeks, showed significant increases over the control group (p<0.05). The agglutination test decreased with an extended experimental period. Groups A, B, and C at 7 weeks, and groups B and C at 10 weeks, had greater antibody responses to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) than the control group. The IgG antibody production of group C at 7 weeks and groups B and C at 10 weeks were significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). In groups B and C, lymphocyte percentage was higher than the control group, and their spleen and thymus tissues showed active immune reactions.

가시오가피의 면역활성 증진 효과를 알아보기 위하여 선발된 수컷 마우스를 대상으로 하여 발효유에 가시오가피와 더덕 열수추출건조물(가시오가피 :더덕 =8:2)을 혼합하여 투여한 그룹 1 mg/mL(A), 3 mg/mL(B), 9 mg/mL(C)의 3그룹으로 나누어 임상적용 경로인 경구투여를 선택하여 발효유을 각각 3 mL/kg씩 위내로 직접 투여하였다. 대조군은 발효유만 먹인 그룹(D)과 식염수만 먹인 그룹(E)을 두었다. 오가피의 함량이 ICR계 수컷 마우스의 면역기능에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아본 결과 모든 군에서 마우스의 증체량과 체중 증가는 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았고, 7주와 10주령에 안락사 시킨 마우스의 각 장기의 무게에서도 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 비장계수는 7주령에서는 B군이, 10주령에는 C군이 유의성 있는 증가가 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 항체생산세포수는 식이급여 7주에 B와 C군이, 10주에 C군이 각각 대조군에 비해 통계적인 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05). 양적혈구에 대한 응집소가는 식이의 급여기간이 길어질수록 감소하였는데, 7주차에는 A, B, C 군에서, 10주차에서는 B와 C군에서 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05). 혈중 면역글로불린(IgG)의 수치는 7주에서는 C군이, 10주에서는 B와 C군이 유의성이 있었다. 림프구는 B와 C군이 대조군보다 증가하였고, 비장 및 흉선조직에서도 B와 C군이 활발한 면역반응을 보였다. 이상의 결과 가시오가피와 더덕 열수추출건조물이 생체 내에서 면역력을 증강시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
