Gryllus bimaculatus extract (GbE) have reported that anti-inflammatory activity by suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the effects of fermented Gryllus bimaculatus extract (FGbE) have not yet been investigated. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle effect of the fermented Gryllus bimaculatus extracts using Bacillus subtilis (JB PMB-18) in RAW264.7 cells. Both GbE and FGbE exerted no cytotoxic effects until 1000 ㎍/mL concentration. FGbE decreased NO production and decreased iNOS and COX-2 mRNA levels in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the protein production of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 was effectively reduced compared to the GbE. Inhibitory activities of elastase and collagenase associated with skin wrinkle improvement were measured to be 45% and 69%, respectively, at a concentration of 500 ㎍/mL in FGbE. From these results, FGbE can be used as a health functional food and skin functional cosmetic materials for preventing inflammatory diseases because it has excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle effects.

This study examined the changes in the protein and mineral composition of Gryllus bimaculatus fermented with Bacillus substilis and the mycelia of Basidiomycetes. Normal Gryllus bimaculatus (S) and experimental group data obtained after an inoculation of Bacillus substilis (SC) (KACC 19623), Pleurotus eryngii (SP) and Cordyceps millitaris (SC) were compared. The crude protein content of the Gryllus bimaculatus (control) was 75.48%, but it decreased to 64.55, 54.32, and 63.53% after fermentation with SB, SP and SC, respectively (p<0.05). An analysis of the organic elements showed that the contents of the carbon and nitrogen sources were also reduced after fermentation, and the most significant decrease was observed after fermentation with SP. In SDS-PAGE, a 120 kDa and a 48 kDa protein of Gryllus bimaculatus were found. On the other hand, protein bands faded after fermentation with SP and SC, respectively. Moreover, no visible band was observed after fermentation with SB. According to amino acid analysis, the total free amino acid content increased 3.84 and 1.74 times after fermentation with SB and SP, respectively, compared to the corresponding baseline data. In contrast, it decreased by 0.52 times after fermentation with SC. Among the essential amino acids found in crickets fermented with SB, the valine and isoleucine content was 3.57 and 2.64 times higher, respectively, than the recommended daily amount of essential amino acids.

혈소판은 1차 및 2차 지혈에서 근본적인 역할을 하는 세포지만 혈소판의 과도한 활성화는 혈전증을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 혈소판 응집의 적절한 조절은 혈전증 매개 질환을 예방하는 데 중요하다. 최근 곤충소재의 개발이 주목을 받고 있다. 다양한 곤충 자원 중 고영양 기능성 식품원으로는 쌍별귀뚜라미(Gryllus bimaculatus)와 같은 곤충류가 있다. 쌍별귀뚜라미 는 고단백 및 불포화지방산을 함유하고 있으며 2015년 9월 식품의약품안전처로부터 식품원료로 등록되었다. 본 연구에서는 쌍별귀뚜라미 에탄올 추출물(G. bimaculatus extract)이 혈소판 응집, 세포 내 Ca²⁺ 조절, thromboxane A₂ 생산 및 glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (integrin αIIb/β3) 활성화를 억제하는지 여부를 확인하고. 1, 4, 5-triphosphate receptor type I, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, cytosolic phospholipase A₂, mitogen-activated protein kinases p38, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, Akt, glycogen synthase kinase-3α/β 및 SYK 같은 신호 분자를 조절할 수 있는지 여부를 조사했다. 우리는 쌍별귀뚜라미 추출물이 혈소판 관련 혈전증 및 심혈관 질환을 예방할 수 있는 잠재적인 치료 약물로 가치가 있음을 규명하였다.

Chemical characteristics of the cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, were investigated in total composition, amino acid composition, fatty acid composition and mineral components. After the treatment of 0.4% of G. bimaculatus in the chicken feed, the changes of fatty acid composition in the chicken meat and egg were also estimated. As the result, saturated fatty acid, especially palmitic acid, decreased 4% and unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic aced and arachidonic acid, increased 12 and 23%, respectively, compared with those of control. In addition, there was a small increase in Eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA). The sensory test of the chicken meat resulted in increased flavor, brightness and yellow color. The sensory scores of G. bimaculatus egg in the point of taste resulted in somewhat better estimate than control. These results are appear to be stemmed from fatty acids of cricket.

생쥐 비장세포에 대한 아열대산 귀뚜라미(Gryllus bimaculatus)와 왕귀뚜라미 (Teleogryllus emma)로부터 3종 추출물(Al, A2, Bl)의 면역활성능을 조사하였다. 3종의 추출물 모두 normal spleen cell에 대하여 독성을 나타내지 않았다. Al과 A2는 세포의 proliferation을 증가시키는 경향을 나타내었으며, 1000ug/m1의 고농도에서는 약 10-20%의 증가를 보였다. Bl의 경우는 약간의 감소경향을 나타내었으며, T cell의 mitogen인 Con A에 대한 mitogenic response는 두드러진 활성을 나타내지 않았다. (중략)

Many insects have gained increasing attention as an alternative protein for humans. Among those, the two-spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), was recently approved as a general food ingredient by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. For industrial utilization of G. bimaculatus, mass rearing techniques and production system should be standardized first. In this study, we investigated the effects of five different feeds on the growth and development of G. bimaculatus. Feed is the one of the key factors that has considerable effects on rearing insects. With five different kinds of feed on $1^{st}$, $3^{rd}$, and $5^{th}$ instar nymphs, the change of survival rate, body weight were monitored up to eight wk after hatching. We concluded that 50% of soybean flour, 20% of corn powder, 10% of rice bran, 9% of milk serum, 10% of rice flour, 0.5% of microorganisms, and 0.5% of multivitamins and minerals (diet C) was the best mix for promoting growth and development of $3^{rd}$ instar nymphs compared to the control diet.

Pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) is an octadecapeptide distributed in the optic lobe and the brain in a variety of insect species. There are lines of evidence suggesting possible involvement of PDF in the insect circadian system. However, its physiological roles in the circadian time keeping mechanism have not been clearly defined. In this study, we have examined the phase shifting effects of Gryllus-PDF on the circadian locomotor rhythm in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus of which circadian clock is located in the optic lobe. Phase shifts in the circadian activity rhythm were measured following microinjection of 22nl of vehicle (Ringer's solution) or O.lmM PDF into the optic lobe through the compound eye at various circadian times. The results showed that PDF induced phase shifts of the circadian clock in a phase-dependent manner, suggesting that it may play a role as an input signal for the circadian clock.

본 연구는 외래종 쌍별귀뚜라미 (Gryllus bimaculatus, GB)의 도입에 따른 토착종 왕귀뚜라미 (Teleogryllus emma, TE)의 개체군 크기 감소 위협이 예상됨에 따라, 왕귀뚜라미 (TE)와 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)의 체장과 개체수 비율에 따른 생존 경쟁을 조사한 실험이다. 실험에 사용된 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)와 왕귀뚜라미 (TE) 공시충은 경북대학교 농업생명과학대학 곤충생태학연구실 내의 온실에서 대량 사육한 개체들을 사용하였다. 사육온도는 $28^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}C$이며, 장일 조건 (16L : 8D), 상대습도는 50%~60%로 유지하였다. 매일 두 종의 개체수를 계측하여 개체수 변화를 조사하였다. 본 실험에서는 더듬이를 제외한 체장 0.5 cm, 1 cm의 왕귀뚜라미 (TE)와 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)를 이용하여 왕귀뚜라미 (TE) : 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)의 개체수 비율을 1 : 2, 1 : 1, 2 : 1로 나눈 총 3가지의 조건으로 실험하였다. 그 결과, 개체가 작을 때에는 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)의 세력이 약하고, 시간이 지날수록 쌍별귀뚜라미(GB)의 세력이 왕귀뚜라미(TE)보다 강해지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 최종 생존종은 대부분 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)였으며, 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)의 노화가 예상됨에도 불구하고 생존력이 강한 경향을 보였다. 쌍별귀뚜라미 (GB)의 생존율은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았던 반면, 왕귀뚜라미 (TE)의 생존율이 큰 폭으로 감소하는 현상이 나타났다.
