Background: The human hair follicle undergoes cyclic phases-anagen, catagen, and telogen-throughout its lifetime. This cyclic transition has been studied as a target for treating hair loss. Recently, correlation between the inhibition of autophagy and acceleration of the catagen phase in human hair follicles was investigated. However, the role of autophagy in human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs), which is involved in the development and growth of hair follicles, is not known. We hypothesized that acceleration of hair catagen phase upon inhibition of autophagy is due to the downregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in hDPCs, and that components of Panax ginseng extract can increase the autophagic flux in hDPCs. Methods: We generated an autophagy-inhibited condition using 3-methyladenine (3-MA), a specific autophagy inhibitor, and investigated the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling using the luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot analysis. In addition, cells were cotreated with ginsenoside Re and 3-MA and their roles in inhibiting autophagosome formation were investigated. Results: We found that the unstimulated anagen phase dermal papilla region expressed the autophagy marker, LC3. Transcription of Wnt-related genes and nuclear translocation of β-catenin were reduced after treatment of hDPCs with 3-MA. In addition, treatment with the combination of ginsenoside Re and 3-MA changed the Wnt activity and hair cycle by restoring autophagy. Conclusions: Our results suggest that autophagy inhibition in hDPCs accelerates the catagen phase by downregulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Furthermore, ginsenoside Re, which increased autophagy in hDPCs, could be useful for reducing hair loss caused by abnormal inhibition of autophagy.

The rate of deterioration of contractile force of isolated hearts from control and panax ginseng treated rats was determined and response of contractile force of the hearts from ginseng treated rats to several autonomic and other drugs was investigated. Rats weighing 150-250g were administrered orally with ginseng ethanol extract (100mg/kg) and total ginseng saponin (50mg/kg/day) for a week. Ginsenoside Rb$_{1}$ (5mg/kg/day) and ginsenoside Re (5mg/kg/day) were administered respectively for a week. The isolated hearts from rats were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution by using Langendorff perfusion apparatus. The control group was only able to maintain approximately 75.5% of their initial strength after 60 min of perfusion, whereas ginseng ethanol extract, total ginseng saponin treated hearts were able to sustain nearly their initial strength even after 60 min. Ginsenoside Rol treated hearts also sustained 93% of their initial strength, but there was no significant difference in the deterioration percentage of the contractile force of ginsenoside Re treated hearts. Experiments were conducted to study the response to perfusion of ginseng treated animal heart with epinephrine, isoproterenol, propranolol, and phenobarbital. The isolated hearts were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution containing epinephrine (10$^{-6}$ M), isoproterenol ($10^{-7}$M), propranolol ($10^{-6}$M) and phenobarbital (7{\times}10^{-3}M$) respectively. The maximum inotropic effect of epinephrine and isoproterenol was observed after 2~3 minutes of drug perfusion. Effect of epinephrine on ginseng ethanol extract and total ginseng saponin treated hearts was reduced compared with control. On the other hand, this phenomenon was not observed in ginsenoside Re treated rats but on ginsenoside $Rb_{1}$ treated rats. The positive inotropic effect of isoproterenol was reduced in the hearts from ginseng treated rats compared with control heart, Propranolol or phenobaribital decreased the contractile force in the control rats. The depressant effect of propranolol and phenobarbitat on ginseng treated rat hearts was less than those of control rat hearts. The result suggest that ginseng ethanol extract , ind total ginseng saponin and ginsenoside $Rb_{1}$ may protect the deterioration of contractile force of the heart and may attenuate the response to several drugs on hearts.

The isolated compounds were identified as ginsenoside $Rg_1$ (1), ginsenoside Re (2), ginsenoside Rc (3), ginsenoside $Rb_1$ (4), ginsenoside $Rb_2$ (5), ginsenoside Rd (6), ginsenoside $Rg_3$ (7), ginsenoside $F_2$ (8), ginsenoside $Rb_3$ (9), and ginsenoside $Rd_2$ (10) by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The compounds (1 - 10) were for the first time isolated from the roots of Korean cultivated-wild ginseng.

When the inhibitory effect of ginsenoside (G) Re isolated from ginseng and its metabolites G-Rg1, G-F1, G-Rh1 and protopanaxatriol in mouse ear skin psoriasis stimulated by oxazolone was investigated, G-Re and its metabolites suppressed mouse ear swelling stimulated by oxazolone. Among these agents tested, G-Rh1 most potently suppressed ear swelling as well as mRNA expression of COX-2 and proinflammatory cytokines $IL-1{\beta},\;TNF-{\alpha}$ and $interferon-{\gamma}$. These findings suggest that G-Rh1 may improve chronic dermatitis and psoriasis.

인삼으로부터 사포닌 화합물의 신속한 추출방법을 모색하기 위하여 waring blonder 와 유기용매를 이용한 새로운 추출방법을 개발하였다. 본 방법은 기존의 인삼 증류추출방법과 비교해볼 때 6개의 주종 사포닌($ginsenoside-Rb_2$, $ginsenoside-Rb_1$, ginsenoside-Rc, ginsenoside-Rd, ginsenoside-Re, $ginsenoside-Rg_1$) 함량이 유사하여 유의성이 있는 것으로 생각된다. 유기용매는 메탄올과 클로로포름을 7:3의 비율로 사용하였을 때 사포닌 화합물이 잘 추출되었다. 5개의 주종사포닌을 합한 전체 사포닌 함량은 본 방법에서는 2.41% 이었고 기존의 방법 에서는 2.54%이었다. 그러나 조사포닌의 함량은 본 방법이 기존의 방법보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) fungi naturally colonise American ginseng roots and this relationship is highly beneficial to enhance plant productivity. Our goal was to determine the effect of adding two Glomus species (Glomus etuticatum, G. intraradices) on survival, photosynthetic capacity, growth, morphology and root ginsenoside content of one-year-old American ginseng plants grown in a broadleaf forest. While our study revealed that VAM inoculations significantly affected root morphology and Re ginsenoside content, the survival, photosynthetic capacity and root growth of American ginseng plants were not significantly influenced by VAM inoculations. Surface area and volume of rootlets were 16-25% higher for ginseng grown in VAM-inoculated soil compared to those grown in the control plots. Also, Re ginsenoside content was 18 ％ higher in YAM-inoculated roots compared to controls.

Background: This article aims to compare and analyze the contents of ginsenosides in ginseng of different plant ages from different localities in China. Methods: In this study, 77 fresh ginseng samples aged 2-4 years were collected from 13 different cultivation regions in China. The content of eight ginsenosides (Rg₃, Rc, Rg₁, Rf, Rb₂, Rb₁, Re, and Rd) was determined using rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC-Q-TOF MS/MS) to comparatively evaluate the influences of cultivation region and age. Results: Ginsenoside contents differed significantly depending on age and cultivation region. The contents of ginsenosides Re, Rc, Rg₁, Rg₃, and Rf increased with cultivation age, whereas that of ginsenoside Rb₁ peaked in the third year of cultivation. Moreover, the highest ginsenoside content was obtained from Changbai (19.36 mg/g) whereas the lowest content was obtained from Jidong (12.05 mg/g). Ginseng from Jilin Province contained greater total ginsenosides and was richer in ginsenoside Re than ginseng of the same age group in Heilongjiang and Liaoning provinces, where Rb₁ and Rg₁ contents were relatively high. Conclusion: In this study, RRLC-Q-TOF MS/MS was used to analyze ginsenoside contents in 77 ginseng samples aged 2-4 years from different cultivation regions. These patterns of variation in ginsenoside content, which depend on harvesting location and age, could be useful for interested parties to choose ginseng products according to their needs.

진생베리에 포함이 되어 있는 진세노사이드들은 인체에 유용한 다양한 생리기능물질을 포함한 것으로 알려졌다. 특히 진생베리는 진세노사이드 Re가 다량으로 함유된 것으로 알려 졌으나 추출공정은 비교적 연구가 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 본 연구에서는 진생베리로부터 복합 용매인 주정과 정제수를 이용하여 최적 공정 조건 확립을 수행하였다. 진생베리 추출물 제조를 위해서 건조 진생베리 분말 10 g를 부직포에 담아 250 mL 추출용 둥근 플라스크에 넣고 150 mL 용매를 넣어 내용물이 완전히 잠기게 한 후에 플라스크를 냉각 순환 수조에 연결을 하여 환류 추출하였다. 추출 과정은 주정과 정제수의 혼합비율, 복합용매의 추출 온도, 추출 시간 및 추출 회수에 따라 수행하였다. 추출 후 진세노사이드 Re, Rg1, Rd 및 조 진세노사이드의 함량 및 수율을 비교하였다. 최적 추출조건으로 주정 및 정제수 의 비율은 70% 대 30%, 추출온도는 $80^{\circ}C$, 추출 시간은 4시간, 추출 횟수는 2회로 결정되었다. 최적 추출 공정 조건에서 총 진세노사이드 함량은 건조 진생베리 g 당 약 88.6 mg이었다. 주요 진세노사이드의 분포는 Rb1이 5.3%, Rc가 5.2%, Rd가 14.3%, Re가 51.5%, Rf가 8.1%, Rg1이 15.7%이었다. 전체 추출 진세노사이드 중에 protopanaxatriol 계통의 진세노사이드가 약 80%를 차지하였다.
