실시예 Example

1. 실라짓의 중금속 분석 1. Heavy metal analysis of Shilajit

실라짓(Shilajit)은 히말라야 산맥의 바위에서 발견되는 물질로 식물의 느린 분해로 만들어진다. 암석산맥의 미네랄이 지속적인 직사광선에 과열되면 유화되어 식물의 레진이나 검처럼 산출되며 이를 수집하여 정화하여 식용하게 된다. 실라짓은 다양하고 풍부한 미네랄 및 다양한 성분을 함유하고 있으나 중금속, 곰팡이 오염물질에 대한 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 발명에서는 실라짓 3종(실라짓 A, B 및 C)에 대한 대장균 및 중금속 검사를 수행하였다. Shilajit is a substance found in the rocks of the Himalayas, and is made by the slow decomposition of plants. When the minerals in the rocky mountains are continuously heated by direct sunlight, they are emulsified and produced as plant resin or gum, which is collected, purified, and used for food. Shilajit contains various and abundant minerals and various components, but there are concerns about heavy metal and fungal contaminants. Therefore, in this invention, E. coli and heavy metal tests were performed on three types of Shilajit (Silajit A, B, and C).

하기 표 1은 본 발명의 실라짓에 대한 검사결과를 보여준다.Table 1 below shows the test results for the shilajit of the present invention.

본 발명에서는 실라짓 조성물의 신경세포 독성을 평가하기 위하여 실라짓 A, B 또는 C 조성물을 50㎍/㎖, 100㎍/㎖, 250㎍/㎖, 500㎍/㎖ 또는 1000㎍/㎖으로 제조한 후 신경세포(SH-SY5Y) 5x103cells/well을 분주한 배양접시에 처리하였다. 상기 실라짓 A, B, 또는 C를 농도별로 처리한 신경세포를 24시간동안 배양한 후 MTS 어세이를 수행하여 신경세포의 세포활성(cell viability)을 분석하였다.In the present invention, to evaluate the neurotoxicity of a shilajit composition, a shilajit A, B, or C composition was prepared at a concentration of 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 250 μg/mL, 500 μg/mL, or 1000 μg/mL, and then treated in a culture dish seeded with 5x10 3 cells/well of neural cells (SH-SY5Y). The neural cells treated with the above-mentioned shilajit A, B, or C at different concentrations were cultured for 24 hours, and then the MTS assay was performed to analyze the cell viability of the neural cells.

도 1은 본 발명의 실라짓 A, B 또는 C 조성물을 처리한 신경세포(SH-SY5Y)의 활성변화를 확인한 결과를 보여준다. 패널 A는 실라짓 A에 대한 결과를 보여주며; 패널 B는 실라짓 B에 대한 결과를 보여주며; 패널 C는 실라짓 C에 대한 결과를 보여준다. Figure 1 shows the results of confirming the activity changes of nerve cells (SH-SY5Y) treated with the composition of shilajit A, B or C of the present invention. Panel A shows the results for shilajit A; panel B shows the results for shilajit B; and panel C shows the results for shilajit C.

실험결과 본 발명의 실라짓 A을 250㎍/㎖ 이상으로 처리하게 되면 신경세포의 활성이 약간 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 발명의 실라짓 B는 1000㎍/㎖까지 처리하여도 신경세포의 활성을 감소시키지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 본 발명의 실라짓 C는 500㎍/㎖까지 처리하여도 신경세포의 활성을 감소시키지 않았으며 1000㎍/㎖으로 처리하는 경우 신경세포의 활성이 약간 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that when Shilajit A of the present invention was treated at 250㎍/㎖ or more, the activity of nerve cells was slightly reduced. It was confirmed that Shilajit B of the present invention did not reduce the activity of nerve cells even when treated at up to 1000㎍/㎖. In addition, it was confirmed that Shilajit C of the present invention did not reduce the activity of nerve cells even when treated at up to 500㎍/㎖, and when treated at 1000㎍/㎖, the activity of nerve cells was slightly increased.

3. 실라짓 조성물의 신경세포 보호효과 분석3. Analysis of the neuroprotective effect of the Shilajit composition

본 발명에서는 신경세포에 독성을 나타내는 아밀로이드 베타(Amyloid β)와 실라짓을 함께 처리하는 경우 아밀로이드 베타로 인한 신경독성을 실라짓이 완화시키는지 여부를 확인하였다. In the present invention, it was confirmed whether shilajit alleviates neurotoxicity caused by amyloid beta when amyloid beta, which is toxic to nerve cells, is treated together with shilajit.

아밀로이드 베타는 신경세포에 독성을 나타내며 세포사멸을 유도한다는 것이 알려져 있다. 신경세포 독성 반응은 어떤 자극에 의해 아밀로이드 베타의 침착이 일어나게 되고 상기 외부 자극과 아밀로이드 베타의 침착에 의해 신경세포 독성이 발생하게 되는 것이다.It is known that amyloid beta is toxic to nerve cells and induces cell death. A neurotoxic reaction occurs when amyloid beta is deposited due to some stimulus, and neurotoxicity occurs due to the external stimulus and amyloid beta deposition.

본 발명에서 아밀로이드 베타 중 가장 독성이 강하다고 알려져 있는 아밀로이드 베타 1-42(Aβ1-42)를 사용하였다. 도 2는 본 발명의 실라짓이 아밀로이드 베타의 신경세포독성을 조절하는 결과를 보여준다. 패널 A는 신경세포(SH-SY5Y) 5x104cells/well을 분주한 배양접시에 Aβ1-42 3μM, Aβ1-42 10μM 또는 Aβ1-42 30μM을 처리한 후 24시간 배양하여 MTS 에세이를 통해 신경세포활성을 측정한 결과를 보여주며; 패널 B는 신경세포(SH-SY5Y) 5x103cells/well을 분주한 배양접시에 Aβ1-42 3μM과 실라짓 A, 실라짓 B, 또는 실라짓 C을 100㎍/㎖, 250㎍/㎖, 또는 500㎍/㎖로 처리한 후 24시간 배양하여 MTS 에세이를 통해 신경세포활성을 측정한 결과를 보여준다.In the present invention, amyloid beta 1-42 (Aβ 1-42 ), which is known to be the most toxic among amyloid beta, was used. Figure 2 shows the results of regulating the neurotoxicity of amyloid beta by shilajit of the present invention. Panel A shows the results of measuring neuronal activity through an MTS assay after treating a culture dish containing 5x10 4 cells/well of neural cells (SH-SY5Y) with 3 μM Aβ 1-42 , 10 μM Aβ 1-42 , or 30 μM Aβ 1-42 , and culturing for 24 hours; Panel B shows the results of measuring neuronal activity using the MTS assay after 24 h of culture in culture dishes seeded with 5x103 cells/well of neuronal (SH-SY5Y) cells treated with 3 μM Aβ 1-42 and 100 μg/mL, 250 μg/mL, or 500 μg/mL shilajit A, shilajit B, or shilajit C.

실험결과 신경세포(SH-SY5Y)에 Aβ1-42 3μM을 처리하게 되면 신경세포의 활성이 급격히 감소하는 것이 확인되었으며 Aβ1-42의 농도가 증가함에 따라 신경세포활성이 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. The experimental results showed that when 3 μM of Aβ 1-42 was treated on neurons (SH-SY5Y), the activity of the neurons rapidly decreased, and that the activity of the neurons decreased as the concentration of Aβ 1-42 increased.

신경세포에 Aβ1-42 3μM과 실라짓 A, B, 또는 C를 100㎍/㎖, 250㎍/㎖, 또는 500㎍/㎖로 처리하여 신경세포의 활성을 분석한 결과 실라짓 A, B, 및 C 모두에서 Aβ1-42에 의한 신경세포독성을 완화시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 실라짓 A의 경우 Aβ1-42 3μM과 실라짓 A 100㎍/㎖을 처리하는 경우 신경독성이 2배 정도 회복되었으며 실라짓 A의 농도가 증가함에 따라 신경세포의 회복정도가 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이에 반하여 실라짓 B 및 C의 경우 실라짓 A보다 우수한 신경세포 보호 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었으며 100 내지 250㎍/㎖의 범위에서는 신경세포 보호 효과가 증가하다가 250㎍/㎖를 초과하게 되면 신경세포 보호 효과가 오히려 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. When nerve cells were treated with 3 μM Aβ 1-42 and 100 μg/mL, 250 μg/mL, or 500 μg/mL of shilajit A, B, or C to analyze the activity of nerve cells, it was confirmed that shilajit A, B, and C alleviated the neurotoxicity caused by Aβ 1-42 . In the case of shilajit A, when treated with 3 μM Aβ 1-42 and 100 μg/mL of shilajit A, neurotoxicity was recovered by about 2-fold, and it was confirmed that the degree of nerve cell recovery decreased as the concentration of shilajit A increased. In contrast, shilajit B and C were confirmed to have a better neuroprotective effect than shilajit A, and the neuroprotective effect increased in the range of 100 to 250 μg/mL, but when it exceeded 250 μg/mL, the neuroprotective effect actually decreased.

4. 신경염증 동물모델을 이용한 실라짓 조성물의 신경세포 보호효과 분석4. Analysis of the neuroprotective effect of the Shilajit composition using an animal model of neuroinflammation

상기 결과에 따르면 본 발명의 실라짓은 아밀로이드 베타로 인한 신경세포 독성으로부터 신경세포를 보호하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이에 본 발명에서는 아밀로이드 베타를 이용한 급성 신경염증 마우스 모델을 구축하고 실라짓 A, B, 및 C로 인한 신경보호 효과를 분석하였다. According to the above results, it was confirmed that the shilajit of the present invention protects nerve cells from neurotoxicity caused by amyloid beta. Accordingly, in the present invention, an acute neuroinflammation mouse model using amyloid beta was established and the neuroprotective effects of shilajit A, B, and C were analyzed.

도 3은 본 발명의 실라짓 조성물의 염증조절 결과를 보여준다. 패널 A는 분화된 대식세포에 아무것도 처리하지 않은 경우; LPS(Lipopolysaccharide)만을 처리한 경우; LPS(Lipopolysaccharide)와 염증 유도물질인 Aβ1-42 9μM을 동시에 처리한 경우; 및 LPS(Lipopolysaccharide), Aβ1-42 9μM, 및 실라짓 A, B, 또는 C를 0.25, 또는 0.5㎎/㎖로 동시에 처리한 경우에 대하여 염증반응물질인 인터루킨-1β(Cleaved 인터루킨-1β)의 발현정도를 웨스턴 블라팅으로 분석한 결과를 보여주며 패널 B는 아밀로이드 베타를 이용한 급성 신경염증 마우스 모델에 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 처리한 경우; Aβ1-42에 의한 유도되는 NLRP3 inflammosome 자극을 억제하는 MCC950 (10 mg/kg)과 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 동시에 처리한 경우; 실라짓 75㎎/㎏ 또는 150㎎/㎏과 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 동시에 처리한 경우의 인터루킨-1β 발현정도를 분석한 결과를 보여주며 패널 C는 아밀로이드 베타를 이용한 급성 신경염증 마우스 모델에 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 처리한 경우; Aβ1-42에 의한 유도되는 NLRP3 inflammosome 자극을 억제하는 MCC950 (10 mg/kg)과 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 동시에 처리한 경우; 실라짓 75㎎/㎏ 또는 150㎎/㎏과 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 동시에 처리한 경우의 TNFα 발현정도를 분석한 결과를 보여준다. 상기 아밀로이드 베타를 이용한 급성 신경염증 마우스 모델은 Aβ1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕)을 뇌실주입(intracerebroventricular, i.c.v.)하는 방법으로 제조하였다. Figure 3 shows the results of inflammation control by the shilajit composition of the present invention. Panel A shows the results of analyzing the expression level of the inflammatory response substance interleukin-1β (cleaved interleukin-1β) by Western blotting in the case where differentiated macrophages were not treated with anything; treated only with LPS (Lipopolysaccharide); treated simultaneously with LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) and an inflammatory substance, Aβ 1-42 9 μM; and treated simultaneously with LPS (Lipopolysaccharide), Aβ 1-42 9 μM, and shilajit A, B, or C at 0.25 or 0.5 mg/㎖. Panel B shows the results of analyzing the expression level of the inflammatory response substance interleukin-1β (cleaved interleukin-1β) in the case where an acute neuroinflammation mouse model using amyloid beta was treated with Aβ 1-42 (200 pmole/5 μl). When MCC950 (10 mg/kg) and Aβ 1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕), which inhibits NLRP3 inflammosome stimulation induced by Aβ 1-42 , were treated simultaneously; Panel C shows the results of analyzing the level of interleukin-1β expression when shilajit 75 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg and Aβ 1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕) were treated simultaneously in a mouse model of acute neuroinflammation using amyloid beta; When MCC950 (10 mg/kg) and Aβ 1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕) , which inhibits NLRP3 inflammosome stimulation induced by Aβ 1-42 , were treated simultaneously; This shows the results of analyzing the level of TNFα expression when 75 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg of shilajit and Aβ 1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕) were simultaneously treated. The acute neuroinflammation mouse model using the amyloid beta was prepared by intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of Aβ 1-42 (200 pmole/5㎕).

분석결과 LPS(Lipopolysaccharide), Aβ1-42 9μM, 및 실라짓 A, B, 또는 C를 0.25, 또는 0.5㎎/㎖로 동시에 처리한 경우 염증반응물질인 인터루킨-1β(Cleaved 인터루킨-1β)의 발현정도가 감소하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 Aβ1-42에 의한 NLRP3 inflammosome 자극을 억제하는 양성대조군으로 MCC950을 사용하여 염증 유도 후 실라짓을 2회 식이로 공급한 실험동물의 뇌조직을 분쇄하여 인터루킨-1β를 ELISA를 통해 측정하였을 때 양성대조군 MCC950의 수준으로 인터루킨-1β의 수준이 감소한 것으로 확인되었다. 하지만 모든 실험조건에서 TNFα 농도는 대조군과 비교하였을 때 변화가 없었다.The results of the analysis showed that when LPS (Lipopolysaccharide), Aβ 1-42 9 μM, and shilajit A, B, or C were simultaneously treated at 0.25 or 0.5 mg/mL, the expression level of cleaved interleukin-1β, an inflammatory response substance, decreased. In addition, when MCC950 was used as a positive control group that inhibits NLRP3 inflammosome stimulation by Aβ 1-42 , and shilajit was fed twice as a diet after inducing inflammation, the brain tissue of the experimental animals was ground and measured for interleukin-1β through ELISA. The level of interleukin-1β was confirmed to have decreased to the level of the positive control group MCC950. However, the concentration of TNFα did not change compared to the control group in all experimental conditions.

따라서 본 발명의 실라짓을 세포에 직접 처리하거나 식이를 통해 섭취하게 되면 아밀로이드 베타 관련 신경염증을 완화하므로 아밀로이드 베타의 축적에 의해 야기되는 알츠하이머의 예방 및 치료를 위한 약제학적 조성물 또는 기능성 식품조성물로사용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.Therefore, it is judged that the shilajit of the present invention can be used as a pharmaceutical composition or functional food composition for preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease caused by accumulation of amyloid beta, as it alleviates neuroinflammation related to amyloid beta when directly treated with cells or consumed through diet.
