Abstract

The anti-inflammatory activity of onion juices prepared from sulfur-fertilized onions was investigated by measuring the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines from human monocytes cultured under hyperglycemic condition. Human monocytic (THP-1) cells were cultured under normoglycemic (NG, 5.5 mM glucose) or hyperglycemic (HG, 25 mM glucose) conditions, with or without onion juice. Without onion juice, cell viability decreased significantly in the HG state for 48 h, compared to that in the NG state. With onion juice ($50-150{\mu}L$) treatment, the cell viability was not different from that under the NG condition, suggesting that onion juice prevented HG-induced monocytes cytotoxicity. While the HG condition in vitro significantly induced TNF-${\alpha}$ release from THP-1 cells and its gene expression, onion juice ($50{\mu}L$) significantly suppressed them. This indicates that onion juice inhibited HG-induced cytokine production in monocytes. These results suggest that onion juice from sulfur-fertilized onions can be used for the prevention of diabetes and related diseases.

고혈당으로 유도된 염증반응 모델에서 유황양파즙(onion juice)의 항염증 효능을 평가하였다. 고혈당(HG, 25 mM glucose) 조건하에서 48시간 배양된 THP-1 세포들은 정상혈당(NG, 5.5mM glucose) 조건의 세포들에 비해 유의적으로 낮은 세포 생존율을 보였으나, $50-150{\mu}L$ 유황양파즙을 함께 처리하자 NG군 수준으로 회복되었다. 이는, 유황양파즙이 고농도 당에 의한 세포독성을 완화시켜 주었음을 시사한다. 고혈당으로 유도된 HG군에서 염증성 사이토카인 TNF-${\alpha}$는 NG군의 290% 수준까지 분비되어 유의적으로 증가하였으나, $50{\mu}L$ 유황양파즙 처리로 TNF-${\alpha}$의 분비 수준이 전반적으로 저해되었으며, TNF-${\alpha}$의 발현 수준 역시 낮아져, 유황양파즙이 고혈당에 의한 염증반응을 저해하였음을 시사해 주었다. 이는 유황양파즙에서 보고된 높은 수준의 플라보노이드에 의한 효과로 일부 해석되었다. 본 연구는 식품 섭취를 통한 당뇨 및 당뇨합병증 예방의 가능성을 보여줌으로써, 식이인자의 항염증 효능에 관한 향후 연구들의 기초적 근거 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
