Abstract

Acaiberry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) is widely diffused in amazon and is known that has high antioxidant capacity and potential anti-inflammatory activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate analgesic effects of acaiberry in formalin-induced orofacial pain through p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate 4 (NOX4) pathway. Rats were divided into 5 groups (n=6); formalin (5%, $50{\mu}L$), formalin after saline (vehicle) or acaiberry (16, 80, 160 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). The nociceptive response was investigated all of groups, p38 MAPK or NOX4 were analysed at dose of 80 mg/kg of acaiberry in rat's medulla oblongata and adrenal gland. Results indicated that acai berry produced analgesic effect in a dose-dependent manner and significantly reduced formalin-induced nociceptive response at 15~40 min. Acaiberry (80 mg/kg) decreased the increased p38 MAPK activation and NOX4 expression in medulla oblongata and adrenal gland. Based on these results, acaiberry is believed to be useful for modulation of orofacial pain and its treatments because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects.

본 연구에서는 formalin으로 유발된 악안면 염증성 통증모델에서 acaiberry의 진통작용과 항산화작용을 확인하고자 하였다. 실험동물의 악안면 통증은 수염부에 5% formalin ($50{\mu}l$)을 주입하여 유발하였고 45분간 행위반응을 측정하였다. Acaiberry의 통증행위반응 조절효과를 확인하기 위해 formalin 주입 30분 전 실험동물에게 복강투여 하였다. Acaiberry의 통증행위반응조절에 대한 생리적 기전을 확인하기 위해 항염증과 항산화의 지표인 p38 MAPK의 활성 및 NOX4의 발현을 단백정량분석법을 통해 평가하였다. Acaiberry (16, 80, 160 mg/kg)의 복강투여는 실험동물의 통증행위반응을 대조군($290{\pm}17.4$)에 비해 농도 의존적($205.3{\pm}21.8$, $137.8{\pm}21.8$, $53.5{\pm}30.2$)으로 감소시켰다. 이러한 통증행위반응은 시간의 경과에 따라 변화를 나타내었다. Formalin의 주입으로 인한 통증행위반응은 15분 이후부터 증가하여 25분, 30분에 가장 높게 나타났으며 40분까지 지속되다가 45분에 감소되었으며, 15~40분에서 증가되었던 통증행위반응은 acaiberry의 복강투여로 인해 현저하게 감소되었다. 또한 acaiberry의 복강투여는 실험동물의 연수와 부신에서 p38 MAPK활성 및 NOX4의 발현을 감소시켰다. Acaiberry은 포르말린으로 유도한 악안면 통증에서 실험동물의 통증행위반응을 유의하게 감소시켰으며, 이는 p38 MAPK 및 NOX4 경로의 조절을 통한 항염증 및 항산화 작용에 의한 것으로 사료된다.
