Abstract

Kombucha is a slightly sour beverage fermented by symbiotic micro-organisms, including bacteria and yeasts. In this study, we examined the biological activities of citrus Kombucha (CK) produced by addition of citrus extract to original Kombucha (K). After fermentation for 10 days, radical scavenging activity examined by ABTS and DPPH assays increased by approximately 20% compared to that of K. Moreover, content of total phenolic compounds significantly increased by 60% compared to that of K. Cell proliferation assays utilizing MTT showed that CK treatment significantly inhibited growth of bladder cancer cells, T-24 and 5637, in a dose-dependent manner with $IC_{50}$ values of 4 and 7 mg/mL, respectively. Annexin V staining showed that CK treatment led to apoptosis of cells in a dose-dependent manner. T-24 cells were more sensitive to CK treatment than 5637 cells, as 8 mg/mL of CK resulted in 97% apoptosis of T-24 cells. Western blotting showed that CK treatment led to up-regulation of apoptotic proteins, including caspases-3, -8, -9, and PARP, in bladder cells not in K-treated cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that CK may be developed as a functional beverage.

본 연구에서는 홍차버섯이라고 알려진 콤부차(Kombucha, K)에 플라보노이드 성분 및 각종 기능성 물질이 풍부한 감귤액을 첨가하여 감귤의 생리활성 물질들이 콤부차로 이행되는 효과를 기대하여 감귤 콤부차(citrus Kombucha, CK)를 배양한 후 항산화 능력 및 인체 방광암세포(T-24와 5637)를 이용한 항암 효과를 확인하고 더 나아가 암의 증식을 억제시킬 수 있는 천연소재 탐색을 목적으로 연구를 진행하였다. 항산화 및 총페놀 함량 결과는 K보다 CK의 항산화 능력과 페놀 함량이 높게 확인되었으며 방광암세포 T-24와 5637에 K 혹은 CK를 24시간 처리한 후 MTT assay를 통해 세포독성을 확인한 결과 농도 의존적으로 생존율이 감소하였다. 특히 T-24 세포에서는 CK를 처리하였을 때 현저한 세포의 형태적 변화를 확인하였다. Western immunoblot을 통해 apoptosis 관련 단백질들의 발현을 확인하였는데 T-24에 CK 처리하였을 때 Bcl-2의 발현은 크게 감소하였으며, pro-caspase-9, pro-caspase-8, pro-caspase-3는 농도가 높아질수록 감소하였으며, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-8, cleaved caspase-3는 농도가 높아질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, cleaved PARP가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 일반 콤부차보다 감귤액을 첨가한 감귤 콤부차가 인체 방광암세포 T-24에 caspase에 의한 apoptosis가 유도됐음을 확인할 수 있었다.
