Description

鞣花丹寧用於調控褪黑激素合成路徑之色胺酸羥化酶基因、多巴去羧酶基因、芳烷基胺N-乙醯基轉移酶基因及乙醯血清素O-甲基轉移酶基因的表現量及改善晝夜節律失調的用途Use of ellagitannin in regulating the expression of tryptophan hydroxylase gene, dopa decarboxylase gene, arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase gene and acetyl serotonin O-methyltransferase gene in the melatonin synthesis pathway and improving diurnal rhythm disorders

本發明是有關於一種鞣花丹寧用於調控褪黑激素合成路徑之色胺酸羥化酶基因、多巴去羧酶基因、芳烷基胺N-乙醯基轉移酶基因及乙醯血清素O-甲基轉移酶基因的表現量,幫助體內自主合成血清素與褪黑激素之能力,進而改善晝夜節律失調與睡眠品質的用途。The present invention relates to the use of ellagitanninine for regulating the expression of tryptophan hydroxylase gene, dopa decarboxylase gene, arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase gene and serotonin acetyl O-methyltransferase gene in the melatonin synthesis pathway, thereby helping the body to independently synthesize serotonin and melatonin, thereby improving diurnal rhythm disorders and sleep quality.

晝夜節律的褪黑激素合成路徑失調易導致人體缺乏血清素與褪黑激素,人體白天將色胺酸轉換為血清素,到了夜晚,再轉換為褪黑激素。血清素與情緒息息相關,可幫助穩定情緒、預防憂鬱、抑制食慾、調節體重、幫助腸道蠕動與促進傷口癒合之功效;褪黑激素能調節晝夜節律和內分泌節律,改善睡眠品質並幫助入睡,且具免疫調節、抗氧化、抗發炎、骨質疏鬆和抑制腫瘤的能力。Disorders in the melatonin synthesis pathway of the diurnal rhythm can easily lead to a lack of serotonin and melatonin in the human body. The human body converts tryptophan into serotonin during the day and then into melatonin at night. Serotonin is closely related to mood and can help stabilize mood, prevent depression, suppress appetite, regulate weight, help intestinal peristalsis and promote wound healing. Melatonin can regulate diurnal rhythm and endocrine rhythm, improve sleep quality and help fall asleep, and has the ability to regulate immunity, resist oxidation, resist inflammation, osteoporosis and inhibit tumors.

睡眠品質不佳之頻率隨年齡增加,長期下來導致壓力大、憂鬱、焦慮與失眠,身體長期存在發炎狀態,加速衰老進程,甚至提升肥胖、高血壓、糖尿病與阿茲海默症等退化疾病發生率。此外,全球於2020年COVID-19爆發,在疫情危機下,全球失眠憂鬱人口暴增,英國失眠率由先前的16.7%上升到25%,中國的失眠率由14.6% 上升到20%,希臘則有40%的人表示經歷失眠,失眠也榮登2020 年***熱搜排行,顯示全球憂鬱與失眠的嚴重性。失眠有許多成因,其一為正常覺醒-睡眠周期的中斷。此不同步(dyssynchrony)可造成病理變化。允許改正該作用之可能治療處置在於藉由調整褪黑激素能系統(melatoninergic system)將覺醒-睡眠周期再同步化(Li-Qiang Sun,生物有機和醫學化學通訊(Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters)2005,15,1345-49)。The frequency of poor sleep quality increases with age, which leads to stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia in the long run. The body is in a state of inflammation for a long time, which accelerates the aging process and even increases the incidence of degenerative diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the global COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 has caused a surge in the number of people suffering from insomnia and depression. The insomnia rate in the UK has risen from 16.7% to 25%, and the insomnia rate in China has risen from 14.6% to 20%. In Greece, 40% of people have experienced insomnia. Insomnia has also topped the Google hot search rankings in 2020, showing the severity of depression and insomnia around the world. There are many causes of insomnia, one of which is the interruption of the normal wake-sleep cycle. This dyssynchrony can lead to pathological changes. A possible therapeutic approach that allows correcting this effect is to resynchronize the wake-sleep cycle by modulating the melatonergic system (Li-Qiang Sun, Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 2005, 15, 1345-49).

褪黑激素為一種由負責明暗循環之資訊、控制哺乳動物晝夜節律和調整視網膜生理的松果腺分泌之激素。褪黑激素合成和其每夜的分泌係由上視束交叉核(suprachiasmatic nucleus)控制且被環境光同步化。Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that is responsible for information about the light-dark cycle, controlling the diurnal rhythm of mammals and regulating retinal physiology. Melatonin synthesis and its nocturnal secretion are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus and synchronized by ambient light.

人類分泌褪黑激素在夜間睡眠時同時地發生,且褪黑激素含量之增加與晚上的睡意具有正相關。褪黑激素之臨床應用範圍從延遲睡眠期症候群之治療到時差治療,包括適用於夜班工作者之治療和失眠之治療。然而,目前缺乏活化體內褪黑激素合成路徑的素材,且用來改善晝夜節律失調的醫藥組成物大多存在有副作用或效果不佳的問題,並可能使身體機能逐漸低下,激增對於藥物的需求量與依賴程度。為了解決上述問題,本領域的技術人員亟需研發出具有改善晝夜節律失調,幫助體內自主合成血清素與褪黑激素,進而改善晝夜節律失調、睡眠品質與睡眠障礙的安全之來源,將其應用於新穎醫藥組成物、食品組成物或外用品組成物以造福有此需求的廣大族群,並減少目前藥物的傷害與依賴。Humans secrete melatonin at the same time as they sleep at night, and the increase in melatonin content is positively correlated with sleepiness at night. The clinical application of melatonin ranges from the treatment of delayed sleep phase syndrome to the treatment of jet lag, including the treatment of night shift workers and the treatment of insomnia. However, there is currently a lack of materials that activate the melatonin synthesis pathway in the body, and most of the pharmaceutical compositions used to improve diurnal rhythm disorders have side effects or poor effects, and may gradually reduce body functions, surging demand for and dependence on drugs. In order to solve the above problems, technicians in this field urgently need to develop a safe source that can improve circadian rhythm disorders, help the body to independently synthesize serotonin and melatonin, and thus improve circadian rhythm disorders, sleep quality and sleep disorders, and apply it to new pharmaceutical compositions, food compositions or topical compositions to benefit the vast population with such needs and reduce the harm and dependence of current drugs.

SH-SY5Y細胞經不同濃度之鞣花丹寧處理18小時後,測量TPH1、DDC、AANAT、ASMT基因相對表現量。松果體可透過光週期信息轉化為生成褪黑激素之訊號,將體內的色胺酸(tryptophan)轉換成羥色胺酸(Hydroxytryptophan)、血清素(Serotonin)及N-乙醯血清素(N-acetylserotonin),最終生成褪黑激素。參與褪黑激素合成路徑的調控基因有 TPH1DDCAANATASMT,然而隨著年齡增加或生活壓力影響,可能使褪黑激素合成路徑能力降低,導致血清素或褪黑激素生成量不足,產生憂鬱與晝夜節律失調等和血清素或褪黑激素不足之相關症狀。透過提升 TPH1DDCAANATASMT基因表現量,有助體內活化褪黑激素合成路徑,促使血清素或褪黑激素正常分泌,同時減少對藥物的依賴。 After SH-SY5Y cells were treated with different concentrations of ellagitannins for 18 hours, the relative expression of TPH1, DDC, AANAT, and ASMT genes was measured. The pineal gland can convert light cycle information into a signal for the production of melatonin, converting tryptophan in the body into hydroxytryptophan, serotonin, and N-acetylserotonin, ultimately producing melatonin. The regulatory genes involved in the melatonin synthesis pathway include TPH1 , DDC , AANAT and ASMT . However, with age or stress, the melatonin synthesis pathway may be reduced, leading to insufficient serotonin or melatonin production, depression and circadian rhythm disorders, and other symptoms related to serotonin or melatonin deficiency. By increasing the expression of TPH1 , DDC , AANAT and ASMT genes, it helps to activate the melatonin synthesis pathway in the body, promote the normal secretion of serotonin or melatonin, and reduce dependence on drugs.

本實施例的結果顯示於圖1。由圖1可見,鞣花丹寧於12.5 μM能有效提升褪黑激素合成路徑之關鍵基因 TPH1DDCAANATASMT基因,具有有效活化褪黑激素合成路徑,幫助體內自主合成血清素與褪黑激素之能力。 The results of this example are shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, ellagitannin at 12.5 μM can effectively increase the key genes TPH1 , DDC , AANAT and ASMT genes in the melatonin synthesis pathway, and has the ability to effectively activate the melatonin synthesis pathway and help the body to independently synthesize serotonin and melatonin.

綜上所述,本發明鞣花丹寧能有效調控 TPHDDCAANATASMT基因的表現量,具有有效活化褪黑激素合成路徑,幫助體內自主合成血清素與褪黑激素之能力,進而改善晝夜節律失調。 In summary, the ellagitannins of the present invention can effectively regulate the expression of TPH , DDC , AANAT and ASMT genes, and have the ability to effectively activate the melatonin synthesis pathway, help the body to independently synthesize serotonin and melatonin, and thus improve diurnal rhythm disorders.
