Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the characteristics of gintonin, one of components isolated from Korean Ginseng on secretion of catecholamines (CA) from the isolated perfused model of rat adrenal gland and to clarify its mechanism of action. Gintonin (1 to 30 µg/ml), perfused into an adrenal vein, markedly increased the CA secretion from the perfused rat adrenal medulla in a dose-dependent fashion. The gintonin-evoked CA secretion was greatly inhibited in the presence of chlorisondamine (1 µM, an autonomic ganglionic bloker), pirenzepine (2 µM, a muscarinic M₁ receptor antagonist), Ki14625 (10 µM, an LPA₁/₃ receptor antagonist), amiloride (1 mM, an inhibitor of Na⁺/Ca²âº exchanger), a nicardipine (1 µM, a voltage-dependent Ca²âº channel blocker), TMB-8 (1 µM, an intracellular Ca²âº antagonist), and perfusion of Ca²âº-free Krebs solution with 5mM EGTA (a Ca²âºchelater), while was not affected by sodium nitroprusside (100 µM, a nitrosovasodialtor). Interestingly, LPA (0.3~3 µM, an LPA receptor agonist) also dose-dependently enhanced the CA secretion from the adrenal medulla, but this facilitatory effect of LPA was greatly inhibited in the presence of Ki 14625 (10 µM). Moreover, acetylcholine (AC)-evoked CA secretion was greatly potentiated during the perfusion of gintonin (3 µg/ml). Taken together, these results demonstrate the first evidence that gintonin increases the CA secretion from the perfused rat adrenal medulla in a dose-dependent fashion. This facilitatory effect of gintonin seems to be associated with activation of LPA- and cholinergic-receptors, which are relevant to the cytoplasmic Ca²âº increase by stimulation of the Ca²âº influx as well as by the inhibition of Ca²âº uptake into the cytoplasmic Ca²âº stores, without the increased nitric oxide (NO). Based on these results, it is thought that gintonin, one of ginseng components, can elevate the CA secretion from adrenal medulla by regulating the Ca²âº mobilization for exocytosis, suggesting facilitation of cardiovascular system. Also, these findings show that gintonin might be at least one of ginseng-induced hypertensive components.

Figure

  • Fig. 1 Concentration-dependent effect of gintonin on secretion of catecholamines (CA) (upper panel) and the perfusion effect of Ca2+-free Krebs plus EGTA on gintonin-evoked CA secretion from the perfused rat adrenal glands (lower panel).Gintonin (1~30 µg/ml) was infused into an adrenal vein for 4 min at 15 min intervals during 90 min. Perfusion of gintonin was made after perfusion with normal Krebs-bicarbonate solution for one hour before the experimental protocols were initiated. The data are expressed with mean±S.E. The statistical significance was compared between the periodic groups at each concentration. Abscissa: concentration of gintonin in M. The statistical difference was obtained by comparing gintonin-evoked CA secretory effect after treatment with Ca2+-free Krebs plus EGTA (5 mM) with its corresponding control. Ordinate: secretion of CA in ng or percentage for 4 min. The vertical columns and bars denote means and the standard errors, respectively. Number in the upper bracket indicates the number of animals used in the experiments. **p<0.01.
