포도와 오이즙액에 동충하초 균사체 배양액의 미백화장품 원료로서의 이용가능성을 조사하였다. B16BL6 mouse melanoma cell에 동충하초 균사체 배양액을 배양기간 및 농도별로 처리했을 때, 15일 동안의 배양조건과 $50\;{\mu}l/ml$ (5%)의 농도로 처리하였을 때 멜라닌 생성억제 효과가 가장 높은 것을 확인하였다. In vitro tyrosinase 활성억제효과에서는 포도와 오이즙액에 동충하초 균사체 배양액을 10% 농도로 첨가시 50%의 멜라닌 생성 억제율을 보였으며, 30% 농도에서는 100% 억제를 확인하였다. 결과적으로 포도와 오이즙액에 동충하초 균사체 배양액은 멜라닌 생성의 주 효소인 tyrosinase의 작용을 억제함으로써 미백 효과를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 세포독성실험에서 포도, 오이즙액과 그 즙액에 동충하초 균사체 배양액을 각각의 농도로 B16BL6 mouse melanoma cell에 처리 한 결과 포도, 오이즙액의 5% 처리 시에는 50% 사멸, 9% 이상에서는 100% 세포가 사멸하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 포도, 오이즙액에 동충하초 균사체를 배양한 배양액은 20% 까지 처리 시에도 세포독성이 나타나지 않는 것을 확인 하였다. 따라서 포도와 오이즙액에 동충하초 균사체를 배양한 배양액은 세포 독성이 없으며, 미백 효과가 뛰어난 것으로 미백화장품 원료로서 사용가능함을 확인하였다.

Ginsenoside Rg3 is a bioactive ginseng constituent that has been reported to have diverse pathological and physiological effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-metastatic activities. Metastasis is one of the most important factors involved in patients with melanoma. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-metastatic activities of Rg3 in malignant melanoma cancer has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we have evaluated that Rg3 effectively inhibits metastasis of B16F10 melanoma cancer cells. We found that Rg3 significantly suppresses the migration, invasion, wound healing, and colony-forming abilities of B16F10 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Rg3 suppresses B16F10 cell metastasis by inhibiting MMP-13 expression. These results indicate that Rg3 suppresses the metastasis of B16F10 mouse melanoma cancer cells via MMP-13 regulation. Importantly, MMP-13 downregulation may influence the migration and invasion capabilities of melanoma cells and has been correlated with melanoma progression. Therefore, Rg3 is a potential therapeutic candidate that could be used to treat patients with metastatic melanoma.

본 연구에서는 효모에서 분리한 melanoston이라고 명명된 멜라닌 생성을 억제하는 물질의 작용 기전을 밝히기 위한 것이다. $\alpha$-MSH를 처리한 B16 melanoma 세포에서 melanoston은 tyrosinase mRNA 발현양을 10% 정도 저해되는데 그쳤으며 western blotting을 이용한 단백질 측정에서도 이와 비슷한 정도의 단백질 생성 억제를 보였다. 그러나 B16 세포 배양액에 melanoston을 첨가할 경우 세포내 tyrosinase 활성이 33% 까지 감소되는 것으로 나타나 metanoston이 tyrosinase inhibitor는 아니지만 세포내 tyrosinase 활성화 (activation) 과정을 억제하는 것으로 추측할 수 있었다. 또한 광학 현미경을 이용한 morphology 관찰에서 $\alpha$-MSH를 처리한 세포에서는 많은 dentrite가 형성되면서 세포분화가 일어나는 반면 melanoston를 처리한 경우에는 dendrite가 감소하면서 세포형태가 대조군과 비슷하게 회복 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또 FITC-anti-tyrosinase-Ab를 이용한 형광 염색을 통해서는 $\alpha$-MSH만 처리한 세포에서는 tyrosinase의 분포가 dendrite를 포함한 세포 전체로 퍼져나가는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고 $\alpha$-MSH와 melanoston을 동시에 처리한 세포에서는 대조군과 비슷하게 tyrosinase가 핵 주변에서만 관찰되어 melanoston이 B16 melanoma 세포의 분화과정에서 이를 억제하는 효과를 주고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 melanoston은 $\alpha$-MSH에 진행되는 B16 세포의 분화를 억제하고 이 과정에서 멜라닌 생성의 주된 효소인 tyrosinase의 활성화를 억제하며 결과적으로는 멜라닌 생성을 저해하는 것으로 사료된다.

Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor caused by damage to melanocytes that can spread to other organs. Hence, various studies have been conducted on preventing the spread of melanoma. Flavonoid-structured substances such as apigenin and galanzin are effective therapeutic agents for inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of melanoma. In this study, luteolin, quercetin, and their respective derivatives were synthesized. These compounds inhibited cell proliferation of B16 melanoma cells. These results confirmed that the derivatives of quercetin and luteolin may be useful as therapeutic agents to prevent melanoma metastasis.

We have examined whether Soamsan 1 (SA 1) augment the inhibitory effect of oral administration of Soamsan (SA) on lung metastasis of mouse 816 melanoma cells. The inhibitory effect was slightly enhanced by increase in administration dosage of SA 1. SA 1 as well as SA inhibited effectively the lung metastasis regardless of the pretreatment with anti-mouseNK monoclonal antibody. However, in the case of 2-chloroadenosine-pretreated mice, the inhibitory effects of SA and SA 1 were decreased by 18 and 23%, respectively. In vitro stimulation of the mouse splenocytes with mitogens showed that SA or SA 1 significantly augmented the proliferation of mouse splenocytes. Especially, the activity was more prominent in the presence of a B cell mitogen. LPS than a T cell mitogen, Con A. These results suggest that oral administration of SA 1 or SA inhibited lung metastasis of B16 melanoma cells, possibly through a mechanism mediated by the activation of macrophages and B lymphocytes in the host immune system. However, SA 1 did not showed more significant augment of the activation of immune system than SA.

To further access honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) venom (BV) as a cosmetic ingredient and potential external treatment for topical use, we investigated its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity and melanin biosynthesis on melanogenesis in B16F1 melanoma cells. We found that BV increased the cell viability in B16F1 melanoma cell and BV (0.01~1 ${\mu}g/ml$) inhibited melanin synthesis in with 10 nM ${\alpha}$-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH) for 48 h. In addition, we used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting for me melanogenesis-related genes such as tyrosinase to examine the mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of BV on melanogensis. BV inhibited direct tyrosinase activity, which decreased melanin synthesis in ${\alpha}$-MSH stimulated B16F1 melanoma cells. Thease findings suggest that BV induces the downregulation of melanogenesis by inhibiting tyrosinase activation.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of persimmon leaves extract on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured melanoma cells. The B16/F10 melanoma cells were treated with various concentrations of t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). And also, the effect of persimmon leaves (PL) extract on the cytotoxicity mediated by t-BHP was done on the cell viability, tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis by colorimetric assays. In this study, t-BHP decreased cell viability in dose-dependent manner and XTT90 and XTT50 values were measured at 10 and 35 uM of PL, respectively in these culture. And also, XTT50 value was assessed as a highly toxic effect on cultured melanoma cells by the toxic criteria. In the effect of PL extract on the t-BHP-mediated cytotoxicity, PL extract significantly increased the cell viability injured by t-BHP in cultured B16/F10 melanoma cells. PL also showed the decreased tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. From these results, it is suggested that ROS such as t-BHP showed highly toxic effect on cultured melanoma cells, and also, PL extract inhibited the tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in cultured melanoma cells injured by ROS.

Four diarylheptanoids, (5R)-1,7-bis (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptane-5-O-$\beta$-D-glucoside (1), (5R)-1,7-bis (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptane-5-ol (2), oregonin (3), hirsutanonol (4), were isolated from the bark of Alnus hirsuta Turcz and its inhibitory effects on melanogenesis by measuring the melanin level and tyrosinase activity in B16 melanoma cell were examined. Melanin level and tyrosinase activity were reduced to 75 to 85% by addition of diarylheptanoids to incubation medium of the melanoma cell. On the other hand, melanin level and tyrosinase activity were reduced to 13 to 43% by the addition of diarylheptanoids to incubation medium of the melanoma cell treated with melanogenesis stimulator, $\alpha$-MSH and forskolin. These melanogenesis inhibitory effects were significantly different compared with control.

본 연구는 Monascus purpureus (Mp), Aspergillus oryzae (Ao), Aspergillus kawachii (Ak) 및 Rhizopus oryzae (Ro) 균주로 Cordycepin-고함유 동충하초(Cordyceps militaris)(CM${\alpha}$)를 발효시켜 수용성 추출물을 얻어 페놀화합물 및 플라보노이드 농도와 항산화 및 티로시나제 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 Ak로 발효시킨 CM${\alpha}$ (AkF-CM${\alpha}$)에서 각각 46 mg/g 및 093 mg/g과 6274% 및 7997%로 가장 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로부터 AkF-CM${\alpha}$를 선택하여 멜라닌 세포(B16F0 mouse melanoma cell)에서 미백효과를 검토하였다. 양성 대조구 arbutin 처리 B16F10 melanoma 세포는 92% 이상의 세포 생육과 43%의 멜라닌 생성 억제 효능을 보였고, AkF-CM${\alpha}$ 1, 3 및 5 mg/ml 처리 시 멜라닌 생성은 각각 35, 45 및 53% 억제되었다. 또한 AkF-CM${\alpha}$은 멜라닌 세포 내 tyrosinase 활성과 mushroom tyrosinase 활성 모두를 저해시켰고, 멜라닌 생성 관련 tyrosinase 단백질 발현량도 무첨가군에 비해 처리 농도 의존적으로 억제되었다. 이상의 결과에 따라 Aspergillus kawachii 균주로 발효시킨 Cordycepin-고함유 동충하초(Cordyceps militaris)의 수용성 추출물은 미백 화장품 소재로 개발 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.
