Description

本発明は、骨吸収抑制剤、並びにこれを含有する飲料、食品及び医薬品に関する。   The present invention relates to a bone resorption inhibitor and beverages, foods and pharmaceuticals containing the same.

近年、高齢化社会の進展や生活習慣の変化に伴って骨粗鬆症患者が増加しており、日本における骨粗鬆症患者の数は1000万人を超えている。骨粗鬆症患者は、全体の7割を女性が占め、50歳以上の女性に多く発症している。このため、特に女性は、骨量が最大に達する30歳くらいまでの間に、骨量をできるだけ高めておくことが骨粗鬆症の予防に重要であるとされている。   In recent years, with the progress of an aging society and changes in lifestyle habits, osteoporosis patients are increasing, and the number of osteoporosis patients in Japan exceeds 10 million. Women account for 70% of osteoporosis patients, and the disease often occurs in women over 50 years old. For this reason, especially for women, it is said that it is important for prevention of osteoporosis to keep the bone mass as high as possible until about 30 years old when the bone mass reaches the maximum.

しかしながら、最近では、運動不足や栄養不足が原因で若年期における潜在的な骨粗鬆症患者が増加している。骨粗鬆症の予防又は改善法に関しては、医学的なアプローチに加え、遺伝学的・栄養学的観点からの様々な研究も行われている(非特許文献1)。   Recently, however, there are an increasing number of potential osteoporosis patients in early life due to lack of exercise and nutrition. Regarding the prevention or improvement of osteoporosis, in addition to a medical approach, various studies from a genetic / nutritional viewpoint have been conducted (Non-patent Document 1).

骨代謝においては、破骨細胞が骨吸収を担い、骨芽細胞が骨形成を担っている。骨粗鬆症は、骨吸収と骨形成とのバランスが崩れ、骨吸収が骨形成を上回ることが原因であると考えられている。また、骨吸収の亢進は、骨粗鬆症以外にも、慢性関節リウマチ等の骨疾患に深く関与している。このことから、骨吸収を担う破骨細胞は、骨粗鬆症、慢性関節リウマチを始めとする骨疾患を予防又は改善(治療若しくは症状緩和)する際の標的になると考えられている。   In bone metabolism, osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption and osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation. Osteoporosis is thought to be caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation and bone resorption exceeding bone formation. In addition to osteoporosis, increased bone resorption is deeply involved in bone diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, osteoclasts responsible for bone resorption are considered to be targets for preventing or ameliorating (treating or alleviating symptoms) bone diseases including osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

骨吸収に関与するプロテアーゼとしては、カテプシンB、H、K及びLが知られている。中でもカテプシンKは、破骨細胞に特異的に局在し、カテプシンKの阻害によって骨吸収を抑制できることが報告されている(非特許文献2及び3)。このことから、カテプシンKは、骨粗鬆症、慢性関節リウマチを始めとする骨疾患を予防又は改善(治療若しくは症状緩和)する際の標的分子として注目を集めている。   Cathepsins B, H, K, and L are known as proteases involved in bone resorption. Among them, it has been reported that cathepsin K is specifically localized in osteoclasts and can suppress bone resorption by inhibiting cathepsin K (Non-patent Documents 2 and 3). For this reason, cathepsin K is attracting attention as a target molecule for preventing or ameliorating (treating or alleviating symptoms) bone diseases including osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

カテプシンK阻害剤としては、例えば、ジペプチジルケトン阻害剤、ジアミノピリジノン阻害剤、ジアシルカルボヒドラジド阻害剤、ピリドキサルプロピオネート誘導体、環状ケトン誘導体、アリルアミノエチルアミド誘導体、4−アミノ−アゼパン−3−オン阻害剤、3−アリルアミノ−アゼチジン−2−オン阻害剤及びケトアミド誘導体が開発されている。   Examples of cathepsin K inhibitors include dipeptidyl ketone inhibitors, diaminopyridinone inhibitors, diacyl carbohydrazide inhibitors, pyridoxalpropionate derivatives, cyclic ketone derivatives, allylaminoethylamide derivatives, 4-amino-azepane. -3-one inhibitors, 3-allylamino-azetidin-2-one inhibitors and ketoamide derivatives have been developed.

天然物を起源とするカテプシンK阻害剤としては、乳又は乳由来原料に含まれる塩基性タンパク質組成物(特許文献1)や、イネ科植物に含まれるオリザシスタチン−I及びオリザシスタチン−II(特許文献2)が報告されている。   Cathepsin K inhibitors originating from natural products include basic protein compositions contained in milk or milk-derived raw materials (Patent Document 1), oryzastatin-I and oryzasistatin-II contained in gramineous plants (patents) Reference 2) has been reported.

また、健康機能食品に利用されている素材としては、例えば、CPP(カゼインホスホペプチド)、CCM(クエン酸リンゴ酸カルシウム)、大豆イソフラボン、フラクトオリゴ糖、ポリグルタミン酸、MBP(乳塩基性タンパク質)及びビタミンK(メナキノン−7)が知られている(非特許文献4)。In addition, examples of materials used in health functional foods include CPP (casein phosphopeptide), CCM (calcium malate citrate), soy isoflavone, fructooligosaccharide, polyglutamic acid, MBP (milk basic protein) and vitamins. K 2 (menaquinone-7) is known (Non-patent Document 4).

しかしながら、現在広く一般的に使用されているカテプシンK阻害剤は、人工的に化学合成された化合物であるため、医師の診断を受けることなく摂取するのは安全性の点で問題がある。   However, since cathepsin K inhibitors that are currently widely used are artificially chemically synthesized compounds, there is a problem in terms of safety when taken without receiving a doctor's diagnosis.

また、カテプシンK阻害剤は、カテプシンKによる骨の基質成分(タンパク質成分)の分解は抑制するが、基質成分の周囲でセメントの役割を担う無機成分(ハイドロキシアパタイト)の分解を抑制することはできない。このため、カテプシンK阻害剤が投与されても、無機成分の分解が進行し、カテプシンK以外のプロテアーゼ(例えば、MMP−9)による基質成分の分解を効果的に食い止めることができない。   Cathepsin K inhibitors inhibit the degradation of bone matrix components (protein components) by cathepsin K, but cannot inhibit the degradation of inorganic components (hydroxyapatite) that play a role of cement around the matrix components. . For this reason, even if a cathepsin K inhibitor is administered, the decomposition of the inorganic component proceeds, and the decomposition of the substrate component by a protease other than cathepsin K (for example, MMP-9) cannot be effectively prevented.

そこで、本発明は、人体への安全性に優れ、医薬品のみならず食品への応用も可能な、カテプシンK阻害剤とは異なるメカニズムの骨吸収抑制剤であって、骨粗鬆症、慢性関節リウマチを始めとする骨疾患の予防及び改善(治療、症状緩和)を可能とする骨吸収抑制剤を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention is a bone resorption inhibitor having a mechanism different from that of cathepsin K inhibitors, which is excellent in safety to the human body and can be applied not only to pharmaceuticals but also to foods, including osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bone resorption inhibitor capable of preventing and improving (treating and relieving symptoms) bone diseases.

本発明者らは、一定の大麦抽出物、当該大麦抽出物を分画して得られる画分、及び前記大麦抽出物若しくは画分を酵素処理して得られる酵素処理物が、カテプシンKを阻害することなく、破骨細胞により引き起こされる骨の無機成分の分解を抑制することを見出し、本発明を完成させた。   The present inventors inhibit cathepsin K by a certain barley extract, a fraction obtained by fractionating the barley extract, and an enzyme-treated product obtained by enzymatic treatment of the barley extract or fraction. The present invention has been completed by finding that the decomposition of the inorganic components of bone caused by osteoclasts is suppressed.

すなわち、本発明は、大麦を粉砕した大麦粉を水若しくは緩衝液で抽出した大麦抽出物又はこれを分画した画分或いは前記大麦抽出物又は前記画分の酵素処理物、を有効成分として含有する骨吸収抑制剤を提供する。   That is, the present invention contains, as an active ingredient, a barley extract obtained by extracting barley flour obtained by pulverizing barley with water or a buffer solution, a fraction obtained by fractionating the same, or an enzyme-treated product of the barley extract or the fraction. A bone resorption inhibitor is provided.

大麦は、古くから主要な穀物として人類の食用に供されてきたものであり、大麦抽出物由来の骨吸収抑制剤は人体に対する安全性に優れている。また、本発明の骨吸収抑制剤は、骨吸収においてまず初めに進行する骨の無機成分(ハイドロキシアパタイト)の分解を抑制するため、基質成分(タンパク質成分)の分解のみを抑制するカテプシンK阻害剤とは異なるメカニズムを介して骨吸収を効果的に抑制することができる。   Barley has been used for human consumption as a major cereal since ancient times, and a bone resorption inhibitor derived from barley extract is excellent in safety to the human body. In addition, the bone resorption inhibitor of the present invention is a cathepsin K inhibitor that suppresses only the decomposition of the substrate component (protein component) in order to suppress the decomposition of the bone inorganic component (hydroxyapatite) that proceeds first in bone resorption. Bone resorption can be effectively suppressed through a different mechanism.

上記大麦抽出物の画分は、上記大麦抽出物を陽イオン交換樹脂に接触させ、次いで、樹脂に吸着した成分を当該樹脂から分離して得られる塩基性画分であることが好ましい。このような塩基性画分を使用すれば、破骨細胞により引き起こされる骨の無機成分の分解を顕著に抑制することができる。   The barley extract fraction is preferably a basic fraction obtained by bringing the barley extract into contact with a cation exchange resin and then separating the components adsorbed on the resin from the resin. If such a basic fraction is used, the decomposition | disassembly of the inorganic component of the bone caused by the osteoclast can be suppressed notably.

In addition, for example, a basic protein fraction (for example, a protein fraction having a molecular weight of 5,000 to 50,000) obtained by further fractionating the precipitate fraction with an ultrafiltration membrane can be used.

上記大麦抽出物又は画分の酵素処理物は、上記大麦抽出物又は画分(好ましくは、塩基性画分、沈殿画分又は塩基性タンパク質画分)を、ペプシン、パンクレアチン及びトリプシンのうちの少なくとも1種の酵素で酵素処理(消化)して得られる酵素処理物であることが好ましい。   The barley extract or the enzyme-treated product of the fraction is the barley extract or fraction (preferably, the basic fraction, the precipitated fraction or the basic protein fraction) of pepsin, pancreatin and trypsin. An enzyme-treated product obtained by enzymatic treatment (digestion) with at least one kind of enzyme is preferable.

上記酵素処理物は、胃液、腸液等の消化液中の酵素(例えば、ペプシン、パンクレアチン、トリプシン)で消化して得られるものでもよく、上記大麦抽出物又は画分は、経口で摂取された場合にも骨吸収を抑制することができる。   The enzyme-treated product may be obtained by digestion with an enzyme (eg, pepsin, pancreatin, trypsin) in digestive fluid such as gastric juice or intestinal juice, and the barley extract or fraction was taken orally. In some cases, bone resorption can be suppressed.

That is, the present invention is also a bone resorption inhibitor containing, as an active ingredient, a protein contained in the basic fraction of barley extract or an enzyme-treated product thereof, wherein the basic fraction pulverizes barley. The step of extracting barley flour with water or a buffer, the step of bringing the obtained extract into contact with a cation exchange resin, and the step of separating the components adsorbed on the resin from the resin are performed in this order. The bone resorption inhibitor which is a fraction obtained by is provided.

本発明の骨吸収抑制剤は、骨吸収抑制活性及び安全性に優れることから、飲料、食品、飲食品添加物、飼料、医薬品等の成分として使用することができる。   Since the bone resorption inhibitor of this invention is excellent in bone resorption suppression activity and safety | security, it can be used as components, such as a drink, a foodstuff, food-drinks additives, feed, and a pharmaceutical.

That is, first, osteoclast precursor cells are seeded in each well of a culture plate coated with an inorganic component of bone (hydroxyapatite) and cultured until the cells are completely adhered to the plate. Thereafter, a candidate for bone resorption inhibitor is added and cultured at 37 ° C. for 7 to 10 days.

〔実施例1:大麦抽出物の骨吸収抑制活性〕
(大麦抽出物の調製)
十分に乾燥した大麦種子(品種:はるな二条)をミキサー(ラボミルサー、岩谷産業社)で約10分間粉砕して微粉状態の大麦粉を得た。得られた大麦粉2gを乳鉢に移し、そこにホモジナイズ用緩衝液(0.1M 酢酸ナトリウム、pH5.5、5mM EDTA、0.1% Tween−20、5mM DTT、1錠のコンプリート・EDTAフリー・プロテアーゼインヒビターカクテル錠(ロシュ社))10mLを加えて、乳棒で懸濁した。
[Example 1: Bone resorption inhibitory activity of barley extract]
(Preparation of barley extract)
The fully dried barley seeds (variety: Haruna Nijo) were pulverized with a mixer (Lab Miller, Iwatani Corp.) for about 10 minutes to obtain finely baked barley flour. 2 g of the obtained barley flour was transferred to a mortar, where it was buffered for homogenization (0.1 M sodium acetate, pH 5.5, 5 mM EDTA, 0.1% Tween-20, 5 mM DTT, 1 tablet complete, EDTA free, 10 mL of protease inhibitor cocktail tablets (Roche) were added and suspended with a pestle.

その後、大麦粉の懸濁液を、4℃で10分間、10000×gで遠心分離し、その上清をMiraclothフィルター(Calbiochem社)で濾過した。得られた濾液をPD−10カラム(GE Healthcare社)にアプライし、20mM MES(pH6.0)にバッファー交換して、大麦抽出物を得た。   Thereafter, the barley flour suspension was centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 10 minutes at 4 ° C., and the supernatant was filtered through a Miracloth filter (Calbiochem). The obtained filtrate was applied to a PD-10 column (GE Healthcare), and buffer exchanged with 20 mM MES (pH 6.0) to obtain a barley extract.

(Pit Formationアッセイ)
得られた大麦抽出物の骨吸収抑制活性をPit Formationアッセイで測定した。
(Pit formation assay)
Bone resorption inhibitory activity of the obtained barley extract was measured by Pit Formation assay.

具体的には、まず、ラット破骨前駆細胞(1×10個)を、ラット破骨細胞培養キット(セルガレージ社)に含まれる分化誘導用培地(5mL)(培地組成:α−MEM、10%FBS、50ng/mL RANKL&M−CSF)に懸濁し、これを、リン酸カルシウムで被膜されたOAASプレート(オスコテック社)の各ウェルに100μL(2×10個/ウェル)ずつ分注し、細胞がプレートに完全に接着するまでCOインキュベーター内で培養した。Specifically, first, rat osteoclast progenitor cells (1 × 10 6 cells) were added to a differentiation-inducing medium (5 mL) (medium composition: α-MEM, included in a rat osteoclast culture kit (Cell Garage)). 10% FBS, 50 ng / mL RANKL & M-CSF), and 100 μL (2 × 10 4 cells / well) was dispensed into each well of a calcium phosphate-coated OAAS plate (Oscotec). The cells were cultured in a CO 2 incubator until they completely adhered to the plate.

その後、各ウェルに所定タンパク質濃度の大麦抽出物を加え、37℃のCOインキュベーター内で7〜10日間培養し、コントロールのウェル(大麦抽出物の代わりに等量の滅菌水を添加したウェル)において骨吸収痕跡の形成が一面に確認された時点で、各ウェルの表面の様子をデジタルマイクロスコープ(VHX−100F、キーエンス社)で観察し、骨吸収面積を計測した。なお、大麦抽出物の骨吸収抑制活性の強さは、骨吸収痕跡形成の阻害の程度によって判定することができる。Thereafter, a barley extract having a predetermined protein concentration was added to each well and cultured in a CO 2 incubator at 37 ° C. for 7 to 10 days. Control wells (wells to which an equal amount of sterile water was added instead of barley extract) When the formation of bone resorption traces was confirmed on the whole surface, the state of the surface of each well was observed with a digital microscope (VHX-100F, Keyence), and the bone resorption area was measured. In addition, the intensity | strength of the bone resorption suppression activity of a barley extract can be determined with the grade of inhibition of bone resorption trace formation.

図1は、大麦抽出物の存在下で行われたPit Formationアッセイにおける骨吸収面積を示すグラフである。図1において、骨吸収面積は、コントロールの骨吸収面積に対する相対値(%)で示されている。また、濃度(μg/mL)は、培地中のタンパク質の濃度を示す。   FIG. 1 is a graph showing bone resorption area in a Pit Formation assay performed in the presence of barley extract. In FIG. 1, the bone resorption area is shown as a relative value (%) to the control bone resorption area. Moreover, a density | concentration (microgram / mL) shows the density | concentration of the protein in a culture medium.

図1から明らかなように、大麦抽出物は、タンパク質濃度が1μg/mL以上の場合に骨吸収をほぼ完全に抑制し、0.2μg/mLの場合にも骨吸収を顕著に抑制した。   As is clear from FIG. 1, the barley extract almost completely suppressed bone resorption when the protein concentration was 1 μg / mL or more, and markedly suppressed bone resorption when the protein concentration was 0.2 μg / mL.

実施例1により、大麦抽出物が、骨吸収抑制活性、特に、骨の無機成分(ハイドロキシアパタイト)の分解を抑制する活性を有することが示された。   Example 1 showed that the barley extract has an activity of suppressing bone resorption, particularly an activity of suppressing the decomposition of the bone inorganic component (hydroxyapatite).

〔実施例2:塩基性画分及び酸性画分の骨吸収抑制活性〕
(塩基性画分及び酸性画分の調製)
実施例1と同様にして大麦抽出物を得た。得られた大麦抽出物をHiTrap SP FF(強陽イオン交換カラム、GE Healthcare社)にアプライし、陽イオン交換樹脂に非吸着の成分を開始バッファー(20mM MESバッファー、pH6.0)5mLで溶出して、大麦抽出物の酸性画分を得た。引き続き、陽イオン交換樹脂に吸着した成分を溶出バッファー(20mM MESバッファー、pH6.0、1M NaCl)5mLで溶出して、大麦抽出物の塩基性画分を得た。なお、塩基性画分には、タンパク質、アミノ酸及び核酸が含有されていた。
[Example 2: Bone resorption inhibitory activity of basic fraction and acidic fraction]
(Preparation of basic and acidic fractions)
A barley extract was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. The obtained barley extract was applied to HiTrap SP FF (strong cation exchange column, GE Healthcare), and components that were not adsorbed to the cation exchange resin were eluted with 5 mL of the starting buffer (20 mM MES buffer, pH 6.0). Thus, an acidic fraction of the barley extract was obtained. Subsequently, the component adsorbed on the cation exchange resin was eluted with 5 mL of elution buffer (20 mM MES buffer, pH 6.0, 1M NaCl) to obtain a basic fraction of barley extract. The basic fraction contained proteins, amino acids and nucleic acids.

(Pit Formationアッセイ)

(Pit formation assay)
The bone resorption inhibitory activity of the obtained basic fraction and acidic fraction was tested by the Pit Formation assay in the same manner as in Example 1.

図2は、大麦抽出物の塩基性画分又は酸性画分の存在下で行われたPit Formationアッセイにおける骨吸収面積を示すグラフである。図2において、骨吸収面積は、コントロールの骨吸収面積に対する相対値(%)で示されている。また、濃度(μg/mL)は、培地中のタンパク質の濃度を示す。   FIG. 2 is a graph showing the bone resorption area in a Pit Formation assay performed in the presence of a basic fraction or an acidic fraction of barley extract. In FIG. 2, the bone resorption area is shown as a relative value (%) to the control bone resorption area. Moreover, a density | concentration (microgram / mL) shows the density | concentration of the protein in a culture medium.

図2から明らかなように、塩基性画分は、タンパク質濃度が1μg/mL以上の場合に骨吸収をほぼ完全に抑制し、0.2μg/mLの場合にも骨吸収を顕著に抑制した。また、酸性画分も、塩基性画分ほど強くはないものの、骨吸収抑制活性を示した。   As is apparent from FIG. 2, the basic fraction almost completely suppressed bone resorption when the protein concentration was 1 μg / mL or more, and markedly suppressed bone resorption when the protein concentration was 0.2 μg / mL. The acidic fraction also showed bone resorption inhibitory activity, although not as strong as the basic fraction.

実施例2により、大麦抽出物の塩基性画分及び酸性画分が骨吸収抑制活性、特に、骨の無機成分(ハイドロキシアパタイト)の分解を抑制する活性を有することが示された。また、塩基性画分が、特に強い骨吸収抑制活性を有することが示された。   Example 2 showed that the basic fraction and the acidic fraction of the barley extract have bone resorption inhibitory activity, in particular, the activity of inhibiting the decomposition of bone inorganic components (hydroxyapatite). Moreover, it was shown that a basic fraction has especially strong bone resorption suppression activity.

〔参考例1:大麦抽出物のカテプシンK阻害活性〕
実施例1と同様にして大麦抽出物を得た。得られた大麦抽出物のカテプシンK阻害活性を次のように試験した。
[Reference Example 1: Cathepsin K inhibitory activity of barley extract]
A barley extract was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. The barley extract obtained was tested for cathepsin K inhibitory activity as follows.

まず、96ウェルプレートの各ウェルに酵素反応用緩衝液(100mM NaOAc、20mM L−Cystein、5mM EDTA、pH5.5)130μLと4μg/mLのカテプシンK(ヒトリコンビナント・プロカテプシンK、カルビオケム社)溶液10μLとを加え、そこに、所定タンパク質濃度の上記大麦抽出物10μL、又は1μg/mLのシスタチンC(ヒト尿由来シスタチンC、カルビオケム社)溶液10μL、又は上記酵素反応用緩衝液(コントロール)10μL、を更に加え、37℃で30分間、プレインキュベートした。   First, a buffer solution for enzyme reaction (100 mM NaOAc, 20 mM L-Cystein, 5 mM EDTA, pH 5.5) 130 μL and 4 μg / mL cathepsin K (human recombinant procathepsin K, Calbiochem) solution in each well of a 96-well plate 10 μL of the barley extract having a predetermined protein concentration, or 10 μL of a 1 μg / mL cystatin C (human urine-derived cystatin C, Calbiochem) solution, or 10 μL of the enzyme reaction buffer (control), Was further added and pre-incubated at 37 ° C. for 30 minutes.

次いで、蛍光基質溶液(20μM Z−Phe−Arg−MCA(Benzyloxycarbonyl−L−phenylalanyl−L−arginine−4−methylcoumaryl−7−amide)、ペプチド研究所)50μLを加え、37℃で酵素反応を行った。蛍光強度の増加度をマイクロプレートリーダーMTP−800AFC(励起波長350nm、吸収波長450nm、コロナ社)で測定して、カテプシンK活性を評価した。   Subsequently, 50 μL of a fluorescent substrate solution (20 μM Z-Phe-Arg-MCA (Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-argineline-4-methylcoumeric-7-amide), peptide laboratory) was added, and an enzyme reaction was performed at 37 ° C. . The degree of increase in fluorescence intensity was measured with a microplate reader MTP-800AFC (excitation wavelength 350 nm, absorption wavelength 450 nm, Corona) to evaluate cathepsin K activity.

図3は、大麦抽出物及びシスタチンCのカテプシンK活性を示すグラフである。図3において、大麦抽出物及びシスタチンCのカテプシンK活性は、コントロールに対する相対値(%)で示されている。また、濃度(μg/mL)は、反応液中のタンパク質の濃度を示す。   FIG. 3 is a graph showing the cathepsin K activity of barley extract and cystatin C. In FIG. 3, the cathepsin K activities of barley extract and cystatin C are shown as a relative value (%) to the control. The concentration (μg / mL) indicates the concentration of the protein in the reaction solution.

図3から明らかなように、大麦抽出物は、タンパク質濃度が5μg/mLの場合にもカテプシンKの活性を阻害しなかった。他方、カテプシンK阻害剤であるシスタチンCは、1μg/mLでもカテプシンKの活性を完全に抑制した。   As is clear from FIG. 3, the barley extract did not inhibit the activity of cathepsin K even when the protein concentration was 5 μg / mL. On the other hand, cystatin C, which is a cathepsin K inhibitor, completely suppressed cathepsin K activity even at 1 μg / mL.

参考例1により、大麦抽出物がカテプシンK阻害活性を有しないこと、すなわち、大麦抽出物の骨吸収抑制作用が、カテプシンK阻害剤とは異なるメカニズムを介するものであることが示された。   Reference Example 1 shows that the barley extract does not have cathepsin K inhibitory activity, that is, the bone resorption inhibitory action of the barley extract is via a mechanism different from that of the cathepsin K inhibitor.

〔実施例3:大麦抽出物の骨吸収抑制活性〕
2種の大麦品種イチバンボシ及びはるな二条の大麦種子から、実施例1と同様にして大麦抽出物を得た。そして、得られた各大麦抽出物の骨吸収抑制活性を、実施例1と同様にしてPit Formationアッセイで試験した。

A barley extract was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 from two barley varieties Ichibanboshi and Haruna Nijo barley seeds. And the bone resorption inhibitory activity of each obtained barley extract was tested by the Pit Formation assay similarly to Example 1.

図4は、イチバンボシ又ははるな二条の大麦抽出物の存在下で行われたPit Formationアッセイにおける骨吸収面積を示すグラフである。図4において、骨吸収面積は、コントロールの骨吸収面積に対する相対値(%)で示されている。また、濃度(μg/mL)は、培地中のタンパク質の濃度を示す。   FIG. 4 is a graph showing the bone resorption area in a Pit Formation assay performed in the presence of Ichibanboshi or Haruna Nijo barley extract. In FIG. 4, the bone resorption area is shown as a relative value (%) to the control bone resorption area. Moreover, a density | concentration (microgram / mL) shows the density | concentration of the protein in a culture medium.

図4から明らかなように、イチバンボシ及びはるな二条のいずれも、顕著な骨吸収抑制活性を示した。   As is clear from FIG. 4, both Ichibanboshi and Haruna Nijo showed remarkable bone resorption inhibitory activity.

実施例1と同様にして大麦抽出物を得た。所定タンパク質濃度の大麦抽出物に対して体積比が10%となるように人工胃液(2% NaCl、10kU/mL ペプシン、0.6N HCl)を加え、37℃で2時間反応させ、水酸化ナトリウム水溶液を加えて中和した。   A barley extract was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. Artificial gastric juice (2% NaCl, 10 kU / mL pepsin, 0.6N HCl) was added to the barley extract with a predetermined protein concentration so that the volume ratio was 10%, and the mixture was reacted at 37 ° C. for 2 hours. An aqueous solution was added for neutralization.

引き続き、体積比が10%となるように人工腸液(4% パンクレアチン、4% トリプシン、1M NaHCO)を加え、37℃で2時間反応させ、90℃で2分間の熱処理を行って、大麦抽出物の酵素処理物を得た。Subsequently, artificial intestinal fluid (4% pancreatin, 4% trypsin, 1M NaHCO 3 ) was added so that the volume ratio would be 10%, reacted at 37 ° C. for 2 hours, and heat-treated at 90 ° C. for 2 minutes. An enzyme-treated product of the extract was obtained.

得られた大麦抽出物の酵素処理物について、実施例1と同様にしてPit Formationアッセイを行った。   Pit formation assay was performed on the enzyme-treated product of the obtained barley extract in the same manner as in Example 1.

図5は、大麦抽出物の酵素処理物の存在下で行われたPit Formationアッセイにおける骨吸収面積を示すグラフである。図5において、骨吸収面積は、コントロールの骨吸収面積に対する相対値(%)で示されている。また、濃度(μg/mL)は、培地中のタンパク質の濃度を示す。   FIG. 5 is a graph showing the bone resorption area in a Pit formation assay performed in the presence of an enzyme-treated product of barley extract. In FIG. 5, the bone resorption area is shown as a relative value (%) to the control bone resorption area. Moreover, a density | concentration (microgram / mL) shows the density | concentration of the protein in a culture medium.

図5から明らかなように、大麦抽出物を人工胃液及び人工腸液で処理して得られる酵素処理物は、タンパク質濃度が1μg/mL以上の場合に骨吸収を完全に抑制し、0.2μg/mLの場合にも骨吸収を顕著に抑制した。   As is clear from FIG. 5, the enzyme-treated product obtained by treating the barley extract with artificial gastric juice and artificial intestinal fluid completely inhibits bone resorption when the protein concentration is 1 μg / mL or more, and 0.2 μg / mL. In the case of mL, bone resorption was remarkably suppressed.

実施例4により、大麦抽出物の酵素処理物が骨吸収抑制活性、特に、骨の無機成分(ハイドロキシアパタイト)の分解を抑制する活性を有することが示された。   Example 4 showed that the enzyme-treated product of barley extract has an activity to suppress bone resorption, particularly an activity to suppress the decomposition of bone mineral components (hydroxyapatite).

〔比較例1:カテプシンK阻害剤の骨吸収抑制活性〕
カテプシンK阻害剤であるシスタチンCの骨吸収抑制活性を、実施例1と同様にしてPit Formationアッセイで試験した。
[Comparative Example 1: Bone resorption inhibitory activity of cathepsin K inhibitor]
The bone resorption inhibitory activity of cystatin C, which is a cathepsin K inhibitor, was tested in the same manner as in Example 1 by the Pit Formation assay.

図6は、シスタチンCの存在下で行われたPit Formationアッセイにおける骨吸収面積を示すグラフである。図6において、濃度(μg/mL)は、培地中のシスタチンCの濃度を示す。   FIG. 6 is a graph showing the bone resorption area in a Pit formation assay performed in the presence of cystatin C. In FIG. 6, the concentration (μg / mL) indicates the concentration of cystatin C in the medium.

図6から明らかなように、培地中にシスタチンCが10μg/mL含有されている場合にも、骨吸収面積はコントロールとほぼ同等であり、シスタチンCの添加によって骨吸収はほとんど抑制されなかった。   As is apparent from FIG. 6, even when cystatin C was contained at 10 μg / mL in the medium, the bone resorption area was almost the same as that of the control, and the bone resorption was hardly suppressed by the addition of cystatin C.

比較例1により、シスタチンCは、骨の無機成分(ハイドロキシアパタイト)の分解を抑制する活性を有せず、カテプシンKが関与しない骨吸収の系では骨吸収を抑制しないことが示された。   Comparative Example 1 shows that cystatin C does not have the activity of suppressing the decomposition of bone inorganic component (hydroxyapatite), and does not suppress bone resorption in a bone resorption system that does not involve cathepsin K.

〔実施例5:塩基性タンパク質画分の骨吸収抑制活性〕
7週齢の雌性ddyマウス(日本エスエルシー社)を用いて、以下のようにして、大麦抽出物の塩基性画分の骨吸収抑制活性を確認した。以下の試験において、マウスは、1週間の馴化飼育後、一般状態が良好であった24匹を選抜し、無作為に、シャム(偽手術)群、コントロール群、大麦タンパク質0.5%群及び大麦タンパク質1.0%群の4群(各群6匹)に分けた。なお、馴化飼育期間及び試験期間を通じて、マウスは、温度23±1℃、湿度60±5%、明暗サイクル12時間(明期:8時〜20時;暗期:20時〜8時)の条件で飼育した。
[Example 5: Bone resorption inhibitory activity of basic protein fraction]
Using a 7-week-old female ddy mouse (Japan SLC), the bone resorption inhibitory activity of the basic fraction of the barley extract was confirmed as follows. In the following test, mice were selected from 24 animals with good general condition after one week of acclimatization, and randomly selected sham (sham surgery) group, control group, barley protein 0.5% group and Divided into 4 groups of barley protein 1.0% group (6 animals in each group). During the acclimation breeding period and the test period, the mice were kept at a temperature of 23 ± 1 ° C., a humidity of 60 ± 5%, and a light / dark cycle of 12 hours (light period: 8 hours to 20 hours; dark period: 20 hours to 8 hours). Reared in

(塩基性タンパク質画分の調製)
十分に乾燥した大麦種子(品種:りょうふう)をミキサー(やまびこ号L−S型、国光社)で約10分間粉砕して微粉状態の大麦粉を得た。得られた大麦粉5.4kgを20mM 酢酸ナトリウム水溶液(pH5.0)27Lに一晩浸漬し、4℃で20分間、8000rpmで遠心分離して、大麦抽出物(上清)を得た。得られた大麦抽出物を強陽イオン交換樹脂(SP−Toyopearl、東ソー社)に通液し、樹脂に吸着した成分を0.5M 塩化ナトリウム水溶液で溶出して、大麦抽出物の塩基性画分を得た。
(Preparation of basic protein fraction)
Fully dried barley seeds (variety: Ryofu) were pulverized for about 10 minutes with a mixer (Yamabiko No. L-S, Kokuko) to obtain finely baked barley flour. 5.4 kg of the obtained barley flour was immersed in 27 L of 20 mM aqueous sodium acetate solution (pH 5.0) overnight and centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4 ° C. to obtain a barley extract (supernatant). The obtained barley extract was passed through a strong cation exchange resin (SP-Toyopearl, Tosoh Corp.), and the components adsorbed on the resin were eluted with a 0.5 M aqueous sodium chloride solution to obtain a basic fraction of the barley extract. Got.

そして、上記塩基性画分を更に75%飽和硫安で分画し、得られた沈殿画分を更に限外濾過膜で分画して、塩基性タンパク質画分(分子量5000〜50000のタンパク質の画分)を得た。   Then, the basic fraction is further fractionated with 75% saturated ammonium sulfate, and the resulting precipitate fraction is further fractionated with an ultrafiltration membrane to obtain a basic protein fraction (a fraction of a protein having a molecular weight of 5000 to 50000). Min).

(飼料の調製)
大麦タンパク質0.5%群、大麦タンパク質1.0%群のマウスに投与する飼料は、大麦タンパク質の含有量がそれぞれ0.5%、1.0%となるように、粉末飼料AIN93Gに上記塩基性タンパク質画分を配合して調製した。シャム群、コントロール群のマウスについては、AIN93Gをそのまま使用した。
(Feed preparation)
The feed administered to the mice of the barley protein 0.5% group and barley protein 1.0% group was prepared by adding the above base to the powdered feed AIN93G so that the barley protein content would be 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. It was prepared by blending the sex protein fraction. For mice in the sham group and the control group, AIN93G was used as it was.

各飼料の組成を下記表1に示す。表中、各成分量の単位はg/kg飼料である。   The composition of each feed is shown in Table 1 below. In the table, the unit of each component amount is g / kg feed.

Figure 0005307019

(飼料の投与)
上述の馴化飼育後、コントロール群、大麦タンパク質0.5%群及び大麦タンパク質1.0%群のマウスには卵巣摘出手術を、また、シャム群のマウスには偽手術を施し、次いで、4週間、各群のマウスに所定の飼料及び水を自由摂取させた。なお、卵巣が摘出されると、エストロゲンが欠乏し、骨量が減少することが知られている。
(Food administration)
After the acclimation breeding described above, mice in the control group, barley protein 0.5% group and barley protein 1.0% group were subjected to ovariectomy, and mice in the sham group were subjected to sham surgery, and then for 4 weeks. Each group of mice was allowed to freely ingest a predetermined feed and water. It is known that when the ovaries are removed, estrogen is deficient and bone mass is reduced.

(骨密度の測定)
4週間の飼料投与後、各群のマウスを解剖し、DCS600−ER−X(アロカ社製)を用いて二重エネルギーX線吸収測定法(DXA法)により大腿骨近位部の骨密度を測定した。結果(平均±標準偏差)を図7に示す。有意差検定は、Tukey HSD法により行った。図7において、各データ(グラフ)の上方に付されたアルファベットは、異なるアルファベットの付されたデータ間で有意差(p<0.05)があることを示す。
(Measurement of bone density)
After 4 weeks of feed administration, each group of mice was dissected and the bone density at the proximal part of the femur was measured by a dual energy X-ray absorption measurement method (DXA method) using DCS600-ER-X (Aloka). It was measured. The results (mean ± standard deviation) are shown in FIG. The significant difference test was performed by the Tukey HSD method. In FIG. 7, the alphabets attached above each data (graph) indicate that there is a significant difference (p <0.05) between the data with different alphabets.

図7から明らかなように、コントロール群では、シャム群と比較して骨密度が有意に低下した。そして、大麦タンパク質0.5%群、大麦タンパク質1.0%群では、コントロール群と比較して、大腿骨近位部の骨密度低下が有意に抑制された。   As is clear from FIG. 7, the bone density was significantly reduced in the control group compared to the sham group. And in the barley protein 0.5% group and the barley protein 1.0% group, the bone density fall of the femur proximal part was significantly suppressed compared with the control group.

(子宮重量の測定)
解剖した各群のマウスから子宮を摘出し、その重量を測定した。結果(平均±標準偏差)を図8に示す。
(Measurement of uterine weight)
The uterus was removed from each group of dissected mice and weighed. The results (mean ± standard deviation) are shown in FIG.

図8から明らかなように、卵巣摘出手術を施した3群(コントロール群、大麦タンパク質0.5%群、大麦タンパク質1.0%群)では、シャム群と比較して子宮重量が有意に小さかった。また、卵巣摘出手術を施した3群の間では、子宮重量にほとんど差がなかった。   As is apparent from FIG. 8, the three groups (control group, barley protein 0.5% group, barley protein 1.0% group) that had undergone ovariectomy had a significantly lower uterine weight than the sham group. It was. In addition, there was almost no difference in uterine weight among the three groups subjected to ovariectomy.

実施例5により、大麦の塩基性タンパク質画分(塩基性画分中のタンパク質)、又はこれを消化液中の酵素で消化して得られる酵素処理物は、子宮等の生殖器官に影響することなく、骨吸収及びこれに伴う骨密度低下を抑制することが可能であることが示された。   According to Example 5, the basic protein fraction of barley (protein in the basic fraction) or the enzyme-treated product obtained by digesting this with the enzyme in the digestive fluid affects the reproductive organs such as the uterus. In other words, it was shown that it is possible to suppress bone resorption and the accompanying decrease in bone density.

以上の実施例、比較例及び参考例により、大麦抽出物、その塩基性画分、酸性画分及び塩基性タンパク質画分(塩基性画分中のタンパク質)、並びにこれらの酵素処理物は、骨の基質成分(タンパク質成分)の分解とは異なるメカニズムで骨吸収を抑制することが可能であることが明らかとなった。   According to the above examples, comparative examples and reference examples, barley extract, its basic fraction, acidic fraction and basic protein fraction (protein in the basic fraction), and these enzyme-treated products It was clarified that bone resorption can be suppressed by a mechanism different from the degradation of the substrate component (protein component).
