Objective : Airway inflammation is now regarded as a defining feature of asthma. The importance of eosinophits in the airway inflammation of asthma patients is widely recognized, and eosinophils mobilization in the respiratory epithelium is activated by chemoattractants and cytokines. This study was designed to examine the extent of the ability of Moutan Cortex Radicis to inhibit eosinophil chemotaxis of pulmonary epithelium after allergic stimulation. Material and Methods : Water extracts of Moutan Cortex Radicis and pulmonary epithelial cell lines A549(human type II-like epithelial cells) and human eosinophils were used. Cytotoxic effects of Moutan Cortex Radicis were estimated via MTS assay, and the effects of Moutan Cortex Radicis on chemokines from prestimulated A549 cells were estimated by sandwich ELISA and RT-PCR. Chemotaxis assay on prestimulated eosinophils treated with Moutan Cortex Radicis. was conducted Result : In this study we demonstrated that $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-4, $IL-1{\beta}$ induced the accumulation of chemokines' mRNA in the pulmonary epithelial cell lines A549 in a dose-dependent manner. Chemokines of eotaxin, ICAM-1, YCAM-1, IL-8, IL-16 were inhibited by Moutan Cortex Radicis in a dose dependent manner, but RANTES showed no inhibition due to Moutan Cortex Radicis. Eosinophil migration was inhibited at high concentrations of Moutan Cortex Radicis. Conculusion : These findings are indicative of supression of chemokines accomplished by Moutan Cortex Radicis treatment, demonstrating the potential therapeutic value of Moutan Cortex Radicis for treating diseases such as asthma.

Scoparone is a major component of the shoot of Artemisia capillaris (Compositae), which has been used for the treatment of hepatitis and biliary tract infection in oriental countries. In the present study we observed that, scorparone exhibited no cytotoxic effect in unstimulated macrophages, but reduced the release of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2\;(PGE_2)$ upon stimulation by IFN-${\gamma}$/LPS or LPS. The inhibitory effects were found to be in conjuction with the suppression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in IFN-${\gamma}$/LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, scoparone also attenuated the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. These results suggest that scoparone decreases the production of the inflammatory mediators such as NO and $PGE_2$ in macrophages by inhibiting iNOS and COX-2 expression.

The extracts of AS contain in alloxanthin, halocynthiaxanthin, astaxanthin and 13 kinds of carotenoids. The aim of the study was to assess the anti-oxidant activity and cell viability of AS. The anti-oxidant activity was determined by using DPPH radical inhibition activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. The results of cell viability assay showed that the extracts from AS were cytotoxic at concentrations above $5.0mg/m{\ell}$. This study was designed to examine inflammation induced by LPS, protection effect by UVB and the toxicity of Ascidian shell extract(ASE) as a functional cosmetic ingredient. Evaluation of embryo toxicity resulted in embryo coagulation and mortality when treated at 5.0, 10.0, $20.0mg/m{\ell}$. At the lowest concentration of $1.0mg/m{\ell}$, hatchability resulted in 100.0 % rate. The results of arrhythmia measurement in larvae showed similarity to the evaluation of embryo toxicity. This result demonstrated that toxicity is present at concentrations greater than $5.0mg/m{\ell}$. The protective effect of ASE on LPS and UVB-induced in the zebrafish was investigated. Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) generated by the exposure of zebrafish to LPS, UVB-radiation were significantly decreased after treatment with ASE at $0.1mg/m{\ell}$. As a result, ASE similarly reduced UVB-induced ROS generation and cell death in live zebrafsih. Therefore, it is suggested that ASE has anti-Inflammatory effects and can possibly be used as a functional substance for skin protection in the future.

Objectives : This study was conducted to confirm the anti-oxidative effect of Chungpyesagan-tang(CPSGT) extract. Methods : In this study, MTT assay was performed to confirm cell viability, and DPPH and ABTS were performed to confirm radical scavenging ability. The ROS scavenging ability and the protective effect against DNA damage were confirmed by 2,7-dichlorofluorescin diacetate(DCF-DA) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI) staining and comet assay. mRNA expression of Heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) was measured by real-time PCR, and expression of HO-1 and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1) proteins was measured by western blot. Results : CPSGT was not cytotoxic at 50-400㎍/㎖. The radical scavenging activity was increased, and the ROS scavenging activity and the protective effect against DNA damage were increased compared to the LPS-treated group. The mRNA expression and protein expression of HO-1 were increased in a concentration-dependent manner. The protein expression level of Keap1 was decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion : This suggests that CPSGT has an antioxidant effect and can be used as a potential material for skin diseases.

Objectives : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by eczematous inflammtion of the skin. The chestnut inner shell extracts (CI) has been used as a cosmetic material for a long time in Korea. However, the precise anti-allergy effects of CI have yet to be clearly elucidated. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the effect of CI on mast cell-mediated allergy inflammation. Methods : To find the anti-allergy and inflammatory effect of CI, we investigated the inhibitory effect of CI on the production of inflammatory mediators using by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus calcium ionophore (A23187) stimulated-human mast cell (HMC-1). Results : In this study, we found that CI did not show cytotoxic effect at up to 10 ug/ml on HMC-1. CI inhibited the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in stimulated HMC-1. Maximal rate of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-8 inhibition by CI (10 ug/ml) were about 47.6%, 44.1% and 22.5% respectively. In addition, we showed that Fr.3 isolated from n-Butyl alcohol layer of CI attenuated the production of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-8 in HMC-1. Conclusion : Taken together, the findings of this study provide us with a novel insight action of CI as a potential molecule for use in the treatment of allergic inflammation diseases.

본 연구는 커피부산물의 화장품 소재로서의 활용가능성을 평가하기 위해 커피부산물을 유기용매인 n-hexane을 이용하여 $60({\pm}10)^{\circ}C$에서 24시간동안 교반하며 추출하여 실험을 수행하였다. B16F10 melanoma cell line과 RAW264.7 macrophage cell line에서의 커피박 추출물의 세포독성을 water solubletetrazolium salt-1 assay로 평가하였다. 또한 free radical 소거능을 측정하기 위해 DPPH법을 사용하여 항산화를 평가하였으며, 항균력 검색을 위해 Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans를 이용하였다. 실험결과 B16F10 murine melanoma cells에서 커피부산물 추출물을 처리한 군은 $0.125{\sim}2{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$ 농도에서, RAW 264.7 macrophage cells에서는 0.125부터 $0.5{\mu}{\ell}/m{\ell}$ 농도에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 항산화 실험 결과 커피박 추출물은 농도 의존적인 DPPH radical 소거능을 보였다. 또한 커피박 추출물의 항균 효능을 측정하기 위해 Paper disc법을 이용하였으며 그 결과 Straphylococcus epidermidis, Straphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans에서 각각 $11.3{\pm}0.4$, $12.{\pm}0.7$, $12.0{\pm}0.0$, $0.0{\pm}0.0mm$의 clear zone을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 커피박 추출물의 화장품 소재로서의 가치를 제안할 수 있다.

본 연구는 해조 다당류 추출물을 화장품 원료로 사용할 수 있는지 평가하고자 하였다. 항균 효과를 평가하기 위해 해조 다당류 추출물로 부터 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) 균주에 대한 항균활성을 측정하였다. 또한, RAW 264.7 세포에서 항염증 효과가 확인되었으며, 해조 다당류 추출물을 Sprague-Dawley (SD) 흰쥐의 등쪽 피부에 적용하여 단회투여독성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 해조 다당류 추출물은 피부섬유 아세포에서 최대 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 세포 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 또한, 1 % 해조 다당류 추출물로 처리되었을 때, $1.52{\pm}0.34cm$로 생육저해환이 형성되어 S. aureus 균주에 대한 항균 활성을 확인하였다. 해조 다당류 추출물을 RAW 264.7 세포에 처리하면 농도 의존적으로 산화 질소 (NO)의 생성이 감소하고 인터루킨 1 베타 ($IL1{\beta}$), 종양 괴사 인자 알파 ($TNF{\alpha}$)와 같은 염증 관련 사이토카인의 생성이 증가하였으며, 프로스타글란딘 E2 (PGE2)가 감소 하였다. 해조 다당류 추출물을 여러 농도로 흰쥐에 투여했을 때 증상은 14 일 이상 변하지 않았으며 췌장이나 장기 무게에는 변화가 없었다. 결론적으로 우리는 해조 다당류 추출물이 세포 독성을 나타내지 않았으며 항균 및 항염증 효과가 있음을 발견하였다. 따라서, 화장품 원료로 사용하기에 적합하다고 사료된다.

체내 매입후 경시적으로 분해되면서 재생골조직에 의해 치환되는 인공골복합체를 제조하고 복합체가 세포활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 복합체시편을 세포배양액에 넣고 1주일동안 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 다음, 사람자궁경부암유래 HeLa S3세포와 쥐피하 L929세포를 복합체가 용해된 세포배양액에서 5일간 배양하여 세포성장율을 비교하여 세포특성을 조사하였다. 한편 HeLa S3세포를 배양중인 배양액에 ${Na_2}^{51}CrO_4$를 첨가하여 HeLa S3세포에 $^{51}Cr$를 표식한 다음, 용해된 $^{51}Cr$의 양을 $\gamma$-counter를 이용하여 측정하였다. 세포성장정도의 측정에서는 HeLa S3 세포 및 L929 세포 모두가 특이한 세포독성을 발견할 수 없었으며, 복합체가 용해된 세포배양액내의 표식된 HeLa S3 세포로 부터 용해된 $^{51}Cr$량을 측정한 결과, 세포활성을 저해하지 않은 것으로 관찰되었다.
