AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an easy-to-obtain and daily consumable NF-κB inhibitor that is made from marine algae Sargassum horneri or a processed product thereof. This inhibitor has been found to be effective in treating inflammatory diseases and malignant tumors where NF-κB is constantly activated.

Problems solved by technology

However, it was not clear whether the marine algae Sargassum horneri extract has an NF-κB inhibitory effect.

1. Materials

[0033]As Sargassum horneri, Sargassum horneri harvested from the coast at Iwate prefecture was used. The Sargassum horneri was ground, and thereafter purified distilled water was added to the obtained Sargassum horneri ground product. The mixture was subjected to suspension extraction with a Potter homogenizer for 10 to minutes, and the extract was centrifuged using a centrifuge at room temperature (10 to 25° C.) at 3,000 rotations for 30 minutes. After the centrifugation, a supernatant thereof was recovered, and a Sargassum horneri water extract having a molecular weight of 3,000 or less was isolated by membrane filtration. Such a Sargassum horneri water extract was freeze-dried, and dissolved in purified distilled water to be used, when used in an experiment.

2. Method

2-1 Method of Pre-incubation of Osteoblast

[0034]Osteoblasts were pre-incubated in accordance with the method described in the document (Yamaguchi M, Weitzmann M N: Vitamin K2 stimulates osteoblastogenesis and suppresses osteoclastogenesis by NF-κB activation. Int J Mol Med 27: 3-14 (2011)). That is to say, 1 ml of α-MEM (α-modified essential medium) (manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation) culture solution containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (hereinafter simply referred to as culture solution) was added to a 12-well culture plate, osteoblasts (the number of cells: 1×105 cells / ml / well) were transferred into the culture solution, and pre-incubation was carried out at 37° C. in a CO2 incubator for 3 days.

2-2 Method of Calcification (Mineralization) Analysis of Osteoblast Using Sargassum horneri Water Extract

[0035]Calcification analysis of osteoblasts using the Sargassum horneri water extract was carried out in accordance with the procedure shown in the following [1] to [8]...

3. Results and Discussion

[0040]3-1 NF-κB Activation Inhibitory Effect of Sargassum horneri Water Extract of the Present Invention in Osteoblast

[0041]TNF-α regulates diverse cellular functions via NF-κB activation signal in the cell, and, for example, in osteoblasts, it is known that TNF-α suppresses calcification of osteoblasts (Non-patent Documents 4, 5, Yamaguchi M, Weitzmann M N: Vitamin K2 stimulates osteoblastogenesis and suppresses osteoclastogenesis by NF-κB activation. Int J Mol Med 27: 3-14 (2011), Li Y, Li A, Strait K, Zhang H, Nanes M S and Weitzmann M N: Endogenous TNF alpha Lowers Maximum Peak Bone Mass and Inhibits Osteoblastic Smad Activation, through NF-kappa B. Bone Miner Res 22: 646-655 (2007)). Also in the present experiment, it was confirmed that, when osteoblasts were cultured after TNF-α (1 ng / ml culture solution) was added, calcification of the osteoblasts was inhibited. It was revealed that such calcification inhibition by TNF-α in osteoblasts is significantl...

Abstract

An NF-κB inhibitor which can be easily obtained and consumed in daily dietary life and can inhibit transcription activation by NF-κB is provided. When osteoblasts in which NF-κB is activated by TNF-α is cultured in a medium containing Sargassum horneri or a processed product thereof, for example, a Sargassum horneri water extract of molecular weight up to 3,000, transcription activation by NF-κB can be inhibited. In addition, when osteoclast precursor cells in which NF-κB is activated by RANKL is cultured in a medium containing Sargassum horneri or a processed product, for example, a Sargassum horneri water extract thereof of molecular weight up to 3,000, transcription activation by NF-κB can be inhibited.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an NF-κB inhibitor comprising Sargassum horneri or a processed product of Sargassum horneri such as a Sargassum horneri water extract having a molecular weight of 3,000 or less, and a composition for inhibiting transcription activation by NF-κB, comprising such an NF-κB inhibitor.BACKGROUND ART[0002]NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) is a protein complex which serves as a transcription factor, and known to activate transcription of a variety of genes which control inflammation, immune reaction, cell proliferation, apoptosis and the like and HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1), which is a causative virus of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). In addition, NF-κB is known to be constantly activated in inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease, bronchial asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and sepsis and many malignant tumors. Therefore, it is thought that an inhibitor against NF-κB is effective in a treatment for...
