1998년 전남 신안군의 양파 상온 저장고에서 발생한 검은색의 곰팡이는 검은곰팡이병을 일으키는 Aspergillusniger로 동정되었다. A. niger AnYD-1은 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 균사생장, 포자발아 그리고 양파에 대한 병원성이 가장 양호하였다. PDA 배지 상에서 실시한 in vitro의 실험에서 flusilazole과 hexaconazole은 A. niger AnYD-1의 균사 생장 억제 효과는 적었지만, 병원균에 살균제를 직접 처리하지 않고 증기 상태로 처리하였을 때 포자의 형성을 강하게 억제하는 특이적 인 훈증효과를 보였다. Flusilazole과 hexaconazole의 훈증의 효과는 사용하는 용매, 처리 농도와 배양 온도에 따라서 차이가 있었다. Dimethylsulfoxide와 dimethylformamide를 용매로 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 효과가 나타났으며, 고온에서 배양할수록 포자형성 억제 효과가 크게 나타났다.

The inhibitory effect of the Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883 strain caused by the hexane extract of Halimeda discoidea (Nor Afifah et al., 2010) was further evaluated by means of the microscopy view and its growth curves. The morphological changes of the K. pneumoniae ATCC 13883 cells were observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) after they were treated at minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC; 0.50 mg/ml) (Nor Afifah et al., 2010) for 12, 24, and 36 h. The results showed the severity of the morphological deteriorations experienced by the treated cells. The killing curve assay was performed for 48 h at three different extract concentrations (1/2 MIC, MIC, and 2 MIC). An increase in the extract concentration of up to 2 MIC value did significantly reduce the number of cells by approximately 1.9 $log_{10}$, as compared with the control. Identification of the potential compounds of the extract responsible for the antibacterial activity was carried out through the gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GC-MS) analysis of the active subfraction, and the compound E-15-heptadecenal was identified and suggested as the most potential antibacterial compound of this extract. The subsequent cellular degenerations showed by the data might well explain the inhibitory mechanisms of the suggested antibacterial compound. All of these inhibitory effects have further proven the presence of an antibacterial compound within H. discoidea that can inhibit the growth of K. pneumoniae ATCC 13883.

Objective of this study was to examine the effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO) donor on steroid synthesis, growth and apoptosis of buffalo granulosa cells (GCs) in vitro. Follicular fluid of antral follicles (3-5 mm diameter) was aspirated and GCs were cultured in 0 (control), $10^{-3}$, $10^{-5}$, $10^{-7}$, $10^{-9}\;M$ of SNP for 48 h. To evaluate whether this effect was reversible, GCs were cultured in presence of $10^{-5}\;M$ SNP+1.0 mM $N^{\omega}$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) a NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor or hemoglobin (Hb, $1.0{\mu}g$) as NO scavenger. Nitrate/nitrite concentration was evaluated by Griess method, progesterone and estradiol concentrations by RIA and apoptosis by TUNEL assay. SNP ($10^{-3}$, $10^{-5}$, $10^{-7}\;M$) significantly (p<0.05) inhibited estradiol and progesterone synthesis, growth, disorganized GCs aggregates and induced apoptosis in a dose dependent manner. However, $10^{-9}\;M$ SNP induced the progesterone synthesis and stimulated GCs to develop into a uniform monolayer. Combination of SNP $10^{-5}$ M+L-NAME strengthened the inhibitory effect while, SNP+Hb together reversed these inhibitory effects. In conclusion, SNP at greater concentrations ($10^{-3}$, $10^{-5}$ and $10^{-7}\;M$) has a cytotoxic effect and it may lead to cell death whereas, at a lower concentration ($10^{-9}\;M$) induced progesterone synthesis and growth of GCs. These findings have important implications that NOS derived NO are involved at physiological level during growth and development of buffalo GCs which regulates the steroidogenesis, growth and apoptosis.

대두를 먼저 헥산(Hex)으로 지방을 제거한 후 메탄올로 추출한 추출물에서 항돌연변이성 및 항암활성 물질을 분리하기 위해 극성이 다른 용매인 디클로로메탄($CH_2Cl_2$), 에틸아세테이트(EtOAC), 부탄올(BuOH)로 분획하여 각 분획물의 항돌연변이 및 항암활성 효과를 검토하였다. $AFB_1$에 대한 돌연변이 억제효과는 대두의 메탄을 추출물(MeOH)의 분획물들 중 디클로로메탄 분획물($CH_2Cl_2$)과 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EtOAc)은 2.5 mg/plate 첨가농도에서 각각 83%로 상당히 높은 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었다. 중간 분획물(Inter)의 경우는 56%의 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었으나 다른 분획물들의 경우 항돌연변이 효과가 낮았다. 한편 MNNG의 경우, $AFB_1$에 비해 돌연변이 저해효과가 떨어지지만 그 중에서도 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EtOAc)이 67%로 가장 높은 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었으며 중간 분획물과 디클로로메탄 분획물($CH_2Cl_2$)은 각각 63%, 49%의 돌연변이 저해효과를 나타내었다. 대두의 메탄을 추출물은 첨가농도 2 mg/assay에서 44%의 인체 위암세포의 증식 억제효과를 가졌고 대두 메탄을 추출물의 분획물들 중 에틸아세테이트층(EtOAC)의 저해 효과가 가장 높았는데 동일농도에서 66%로 위암세포 성장을 저해시키는 효과를 나타내었고 디클로로메탄($CH_2Cl_2$)과 중간 분획물(Inter)의 경우에는 각각 54% 및 51%의 저해효과를 나타내었다. Hep 3B 인체 간암세포의 경우, 대두 메탄을 추출물을 2 mg/assay 투여했을 때 60%의 저해효과를 나타내었으며 여기에서도 분획물들 중에서 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EtOAC)이 73%로 가장 높은 저해효과를 보였다. 대두의 메탄을 추출물은 첨가농도 2 mg/assay에서 44%의 인체 결장암세포 증식억제효과를 가졌고 대두 메탄을 추출물의 분획물들 중 에틸아세테이트층(EtOAC)의 저해 효과가 가장 높았는데 동일농도에서 77%의 결장암세포의 성장을 저해시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 대두 분획물들 중 특히 에틸아세테이트 분획물에 의한 항돌연변이 및 항암활성효과가 가장 높았으므로 이 분획물에 주로 isofavone류가 함유되어 있으므로 에틸아세테이트 분획물을 더욱 정제하여 연구할 필요가 있다고 여겨진다.

Background: Triptolide, extracted from the herb Tripteryglum wilfordii Hook.f that has long been used as a natural medicine in China, has attracted much interest for its anti-cancer effects against some kinds of tumours in recent years. Artesunate, extracted from the Chinese herb Artemisia annua, has proven to be effective and safe as an anti-malarial drug that possesses anticancer potential. The present study attempted to clarify if triptolide enhances artesunate-induced cytotoxicity in pancreatic cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Methods: In vitro, to test synergic actions, cell viability and apoptosis were analyzed after treatment of pancreatic cancer cell lines with the two agents singly or in combination. The molecular mechanisms of apoptotic effects were also explored using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. In vivo, a tumor xenograft model was established in nude mice, for assessment of inhibitory effects of triptolide and artesunate. Results: We could show that the combination of triptolide and artesunate could inhibit pancreatic cancer cell line growth, and induce apoptosis, accompanied by expression of HSP 20 and HSP 27, indicating important roles in the synergic effects. Moreover, tumor growth was decreased with triptolide and artesunate synergy. Conclusion: Our result indicated that triptolide and artesunate in combination at low concentrations can exert synergistic anti-tumor effects in pancreatic cancer cells with potential clinical applications.

Aloe-emodin (1, 8-dihydroxy-3-hydroxyl-methylanthraquinone; AE) and emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone; EM) are anthraquinone derivatives that have been detected in some medical plants and share similar anthraquinone structures. AE and EM have been shown to exhibit anticancer activities in various cancer cell lines; however, the inhibitory effects of these derivatives on the growth of cancer cells were previously reported to be different. Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer cell death worldwide. In the present study, we examined the inhibitory effects of 0.05 mM AE and 0.05 mM EM on the proliferation of the MKN45 human gastric cancer cell line. The proliferation of MKN45 cells was significantly inhibited in AE- and EM-treated groups 24 h and 48 h after treatment. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of EM were stronger than those of AE. The cell cycle of MKN45 cells were arrested in G0/G1 phase or G0/G1 and G2/M phases by AE and EM, respectively. However, an analysis of intracellular polyamine levels and DNA fragmentation revealed that the mechanisms underlying cell death following cell arrest induced by AE and EM differed.

The effects of grass lipids and long chain fatty acids (LCFA; palmitic, stearic and oleic acids), at low concentrations (0.001~0.02%), on the growth and enzyme activity of two strains of anaerobic fungi, monocentric strain Piromyces rhizinflata B157 and polycentric strain Orpinomyces joyonii SG4, were investigated. The addition of grass lipids to the medium significantly (p<0.05) decreased filter paper (FP) cellulose digestion, cellulase activity and fungal growth compared to control treatment. However, LCFA did not have any significant inhibitory effects on fungal growth and enzyme activity, which, however, were significantly (p<0.05) stimulated by the addition of oleic acid as have been observed in rumen bacteria and protozoa. This is the first report to our knowledge on the effects of LCFA on the rumen anaerobic fungi. Continued work is needed to identify the mode of action of LCFA in different fungal strains and to verify whether these microorganisms have ability to hydrogenate unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids.

The heavy metal effects on the degradation of fluorene by Sphingobacterium sp. KM-02 was determined in liquid cultures. The results showed that 10 mg/L cadmium, copper, zinc, and lead not only affected the growth of KM-02 with fluorene but also the ability of growing or resting cells to degrade this compound. Growth and fluorene degradation were strongly inhibited by cadmium and copper at 10 mg/L, while the inhibitory effect of zinc and lead at the same concentration or at 100 mg/L were not significant. In contrast, arsenic did not affect degradation or growth, even at very high concentrations of 100 mg/L. Subsequent analyses additionally revealed that concentrations of arsenic remained unchanged following incubation, while those of cadmium and copper decreased significantly.
