본 연구에서는 쌍발이 모자반의 항염증 효과를 알아보기 위해 LPS에 의해 염증반응이 유도된 RAW 264.7 세포에 대한 쌍발이 모자반 에탄올 추출물의 항염증 효과를 살펴보았다. 세포 내 염증매개성 cytokine (IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 $IL-1{\beta}$) 분비량의 경우 농도 의존적인 감소 효과를 보였다. 또한 추출물이 iNOS, COX-2, $NF-{\kappa}B$ 및 MAPKs 발현 억제에 미치는 효과를 알아본 결과, LPS 단독처리구에 의해 각 단백질의 발현량이 현저히 증가하였으나, $50{\mu}g/ml$ 이상의 농도로 추출물을 처리하였을 때 그 발현량이 효과적으로 감소하는 것을 확인할 수가 있었다. 귀 부종 억제 효과 및 조직 관찰을 수행한 결과, 추출물 250 mg/kg 농도에서 prednisolone 50 mg/kg 처리보다 귀 부종이 다소 감소함을 보였으며, 조직관찰 결과 쌍발이 모자반 에탄올 추출물을 처리함으로써 귀 조직의 경피 및 진피 두께가 얇아지고, 조직 내 mast cell 침윤을 현저히 억제함을 보였다. 쌍발이 모자반 에탄올이 보이는 항염증 효과는 해조류 에탄올 추출물 유래 polyphenol 계열의 화합물의 영향이 크다고 생각되며 현재까지 쌍발이 모자반 내의 항염증 효능 물질에 관한 연구는 보고되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 논문의 결과를 바탕으로 향후 유효성분에 관한 분리 연구가 진행된다면 쌍발이 모자반 에탄올 추출물의 천연 염증 치료 소재로 이용될 가치가 충분할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : Sinhyowoldo-san (SHWDS) is said to be a traditional medicine used for shigellosis, abdominal pain, diarrhea. But mechanism of SHWDS mediated-modulation of immune function is not sufficiently understood. To ascertain the molecular mechanisms of SHWDS 70% EtOH extract on pharmacological and biochemical actions in inflammation, we researched the effect of pro-inflammatory mediators in phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)+ A23187-activated human mast cell line (HMC-1). Methods : In the present research, cell viability was measured by MTS assay. pro-inflammatory cytokine production was measured by performing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and western blot analysis to analyze the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells ($NF-{\kappa}B$). The investigation focused on whether SHWDS inhibited the expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), MAPKs and $NF-{\kappa}B$ in PMA+A23187-activated HMC-1 cells. Results : SHWDS has no cytotoxicity at measured concentration (50, 100, and $250{\mu}g/ml$). SHWDS ($250{\mu}g/ml$) inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in PMA+ A23187-activated HMC-1 cells. Moreover, SHWDS inhibited cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression. In activated HMC-1 cells, SHWDS suppressed phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK 1/2) and c-jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK 1/2). Then, SHWDS suppressed activation of nuclear factor $NF-{\kappa}B$ in nuclear, degradation of IkB ${\alpha}$ in cytoplasm. Conclusions : We propose that SHWDS has an anti-inflammatory therapeutic potential, which may result from inhibition of ERK 1/2, JNK 1/2 phosphorylation and $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation, thereby decreasing the expression of pro-inflammatory genes.

In spite the fact that H. pylori infection might be the causative organisms of acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases and the definition as the class I carcinogen by WHO IARC, still debates exist about the relationship between H. pylori and gastric carcinogenesis. Epidemiological and animal studies demonstrated a link between gastric cancer and chronic infection with H, pylori, but the exact mechanism responsible for the development of gastric cancer in H. pylori-infected patients still remain obscure. In order to declare the clear association, definate evidences like that decrement in the incidence of gastric cancer after the eradication of H. pylori in designated area compared to noneradicated region or the blockade of specific mechanism acting on the carcinogenesis by H. pylori infection. The other way is to identify the upregulating oncogenes or downregulating tumor suppressor genes specifically invovled in H. pylori-associated carcinogenesis. For that, we established the animal models using C57BL/6 mice strain. Already gastric carcinogenesis was developed in Mongolian gerbils infected with H. pylori, but there has been no development of gastric cancer in mice model infected with H. pylori after long-term evaluation. Significant changes such as atrophic gastritis were observed in mice model. However, we could observe the development of mucosal carcinoma in the stomach of transgenic mice featuring the loss of TGF-beta sig naling by the expressions of dominant negative forms of type II receptor specifically in the stomach. Moreover, the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma was significantly increased in group administered with both MNU and H. pylori infection than MNU alone, signifying that H. pylori promoted the gastric carcinogenesis and there might be host susceptibility genes in H. pylori-associated gastric carcinogenesis. Based on the assumption that chronic, uncontrolled inflammation might predispose to carcinogenesis, there have been several evidences showing chronic atrophic gastritis predisposed to gastric carcinogenesis in H. pylori infection. Although definite outcome of chemoprevention was not drawn after the longterm administration of anti-inflammatory drug in H. pylori infection, the actual incidence of atrophic gastritis and molecular evidence of chemoprevention could be obtained. Selective COX-2 inhibitor was effective in decreasing the development of gastric carcinogenesis provoked by H. pylori infection and carcinogen like in chemoprevention of colon carcinogenesis.
