Paeonia lactiflora was stepwise extracted with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. Anti-microbial activity of each extract was investigated. Methanol extract of P. lactiflora revealed anti-microbial activity against S. mutans, C. albicans, and S. aureus. Also, hexane fraction revealed anti-bacterial activity against S. mutans and ethyl acetate fraction acted as potent anti-microbial agent on C. albicans and S. aureus. The relative growth ratio(RGR) of hexane fraction of P. lactiflora against S. mutans were determined as 77.8% in concentration of 0.125 mg/ml, 98.46% in 0.25 mg/ml and 100% in 0.5 mg/ml. The ethyl acetate fraction of P. lactiflora revealed RGR against C. albicans as 52.5% in concentration of 0.125 mg/ml, 60.83% in 0.25 mg/ml and 78.33% in 0.5 mg/ml. It indicate that increasing concentration increase RGR. The measured minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of hexane fraction on S. mutans KCTC 5316 strain was 0.5 mg/ml and MIC of ethyl acetate fraction on C. albicans KCTC 7270 was 2.0 mg/ml. The experiment of inhibition to growth of KB roll(oral squamous cell carcinoma) result 61.9% in butanol, 76.7% in hexane extract of P. lactiflora. The hexane extract exhibit potent inhibition effect to the growth of KB cell. These results suggest that the hexane extract of Paeonia lactiflora has antimicrobial activity against S. mutans and has preventive effect to dental caries in addition to potent inhibition to KB cell growth.

UV-B radiation gives harmful effects on plants, such as production of several types of DNA lesions, and growth inhibition. On the other hand, plants have some protective mechanisms, including filtering effect due to accumulation of phenolic compounds in epidermal cells and reactivation of DNA lesions, which are enhanced by UV-B irradiation. We have investigated the mechanism of UV-B effects on plants using cucumber seedlings as plant materials. Cucumber plants were cultivated in an artificially lit growth chamber. Supplemental UV-B irradiation, of which intensity was almost equal to the level of natural sunlight, retarded the growth of first leaves. The growth retardation must result trom the inhibition of cell division and/or cell growth. Microscopical observation of leaf epidermis suggested that the growth retardation might be mainly caused by cell growth inhibition. The retardation was, however, restored within 2 or 3 days after the termination of UV-B irradiation. It is known that UV-B irradiation lowers the activity of photo system II (PS II). In the present experimental conditions, however, UV-B irradiation has little effect on PS II activity as estimated by chlorophyll fluorescence. The stomatal conductance, a major factor determining photosynthetic rate, of first leaves increased during the growth. The increase of stomatal conductance was suppressed by UV-B irradiation and restored by termination of the irradiation. It has not been clear, however, what mechanisms are involved in the suppression of increase of stomatal conductance.

Objectives : In this study, we investigate that Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract contributes to growth inhibitory effect and anti-cancer activity on the HT-29 human colon cancer cells. Methods : Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen was extracted from the Semen of the plant using 80% Methanol. The Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract was treated to different concentrations for 24 hr, 4Shr or 72hr. Growth inhibitory effect was analyzed by measuring FACS study and MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was confirmed by surveying caspases cascades activation using Westem blot. Results : Exposure to Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract (0.4mg/ml) results in an inhibitory effect on cell growth in HT-29 cells. Growth inhibition by Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract in HT-29 cells was related with the inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis. The Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract induces DNA fragmentation in HT-29 cells. Furthermore, Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract induces cell apoptosis through the activation of caspases-3, caspase-9 and PARP cleavage. Conclusion : Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract induces apoptosis in human colon cancer cells, therefore, we suggest that Euphorbiae lathyridis Semen extract can be used as a novel class of anti-cancer drugs.

A study was performed to compare the anticancer effects of Korean and Chinese red ginseng roots. The whole crude extracts or chloroform, methanol and acetone fractions of the crude extracts were added in the culture medium of three cancer cell lines, a mouse leukemia cell line ($P_{388}$), a human colon carcinoma cell line (HT-29) and a human rectal carcinoma cell line (HRT-18), to screen the growth inhibition effects. The results are summarized as follows : 1. Crude extracts of both Korean and Chinese red ginseng roots inhibited the proliferation of all the three cancer cell lines tested in a dose dependent manner. However, the growth inhibition effects of Korean red ginseng extracts were significantly greater than that of Chinese red ginseng. 2. An acetone fraction showed the greatest antiproliferative effects among the 11'hole crude extracts, chloroform, methanol and acetone fractions of the crude extracts. 3. These results suggest that the active antiproliferative components of the crude extracts are present mostly in the acetone fraction.

A commercial propolis was investigated in terms of its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities. The contents of total phenol and flavonoid of propolis were 8.3 and 6.6 mg, respectively. The reducing power of the propolis increased with concentration increasing. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was shown at 82.70% in 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$ of the propolis. 2,2'-Azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging effect of antioxidant activity on the propolis was 35.64 g/sample. The propolis showed high antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus at all concentration of propolis. All of the cancer cell lines have 53-73% as effective growth inhibition. These results showed that the commercial propolis has potential antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cancer cell proliferative inhibition activities thus, propolis can be applied to the functional food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry.

In the process of protein transcription and translation, various protein complexes bind to DNA, and all processes are precisely controlled. Among the proteins constituting this complex, a peptide derived from eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2 was synthesized. In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of transduction of this peptide into cells, peptides with polyarginine, one of the protein transduction domains (PTD), were synthesized. Cell growth inhibition was confirmed in HER2 positive breast cancer (SK-Br-3) and HER2 negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), and cardiomyocytes (H9c2). The peptide with polyarginine had high transduction efficiency in all cells, and had excellent cancer cell growth inhibitory effects. The peptide used in this study might be useful peptide therapeutics for the treatment of cancer through future research.

초음파의 고주파 (1.6 MHz), 저주파 (23 kHz) 조사를 통해 Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa)의 성장 억제 효과 (growth inhibition effect)를 대용량 (7.2 L) 조류 시료를 활용해 실험실 규모 (lab-scale) 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 6시간 고주파 조사 후 chl-a 농도와 M. aeruginosa 개체수는 점진적인 감소 경향이 관측된 반면, 6시간 저주파 조사 후 chl-a 농도 및 M. aeruginosa 개체수가 고주파 대비 급격하게 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 초음파 조사기간 보다 조사종료 이후의 일차분해상수(k)가 큰 것으로 확인되었으며, 이러한 결과는 기존 연구에 비해 비교적 낮은 단위부피당 초음파 에너지가 조류 세포막과 내부 기관에 미치는 영향이 지연되어 일정 시간 이후 점진적인 조류 성장 억제 효과가 관측되는 것으로 사료된다. 초음파 조사 후 chl-a 농도와 M. aeruginosa 개체수 변화, 성장률과 일차분해율을 종합적으로 비교한 결과, 저주파에서 조류 성장 억제 효과가 우수한 것으로 확인되었으며, 저주파에서 M. aeruginosa 세포막으로 에너지 투과 효율이 우수해 기낭 등 내부기관에 더 큰 손상을 유도하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. SEM과 TEM image 관측을 통해서도 고주파 보다 저주파에서의 M. aeruginosa의 세포 표면 및 세포막의 손상이 명확하게 관측되었다. 마지막으로 초음파에 의한 M. aeruginosa의 기낭 파괴 및 세포막의 기능 손상을 통해 용출되는 독성물질인 microcystin-LR의 수중 유출은 검출한계 (0.1 ㎍ L^-1) 미만으로 용출되어 수생태계에 미치는 유해성은 미미한 것으로 판단된다.
