In the present study, the effect of Z. jujuba Miller var. inermis Rehder extracts on the secretion of atopic dermatitis (AD)-related cytokines and hyaluronidase activity was investigated. We prepared four fractions, butylene glycol (JB), ethanol (JE), and water (JW), with Z. jujuba Miller var. inermis extracts. JW significantly reduced the secretion of interleukin-8 and JE reduced the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Also, hyaluronidase activity was measured by enzyme assay and the fractions inhibited the activity in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the human dermal fibroblast, HDF-n cells were treated with the extracts and antioxidant activities were measured. The results showed that the extracts increased the free radical scavenging activity and the superoxide dismutase activity. Taken together, Z. jujuba Miller var. inermis extracts reduced the secretion of AD-related cytokines and inhibited the hyaluronidase. In addition, the extracts showed antioxidant activity.

Hydrocotyle is a genus of prostrate, perennial aquatic or semi-aquatic plants formerly classified in the family Apiaceae, now in the family Araliaceae. Lipoxygenases (LOX) are present in the human body and play an important role in the stimulation of inflammatory reactions. Ethanolic extracts of five Hydrocotyle species (H. ramiflora, H. maritima, H. nepalensis, H. sibthorpioides, and H. yabei) showed inhibition of 23.5~50.6% at 2.0 mg/mL. Their extracts showed LOX inhibition in half maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) range 15.1~15.7 ㎍/mL. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a major component of the extracellular matrix Five extracts of these species inhibited less than 23.0% of Hyaluronidase (HAase) activity at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a form of xanthine oxidoreductase, a type of enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species. Five Hydrocotyle species were found to have inhibitory activity of XO at 2.0 mg/ml, with 65% having greater than 50% inhibition. H. ramiflora exhibited the highest activity with an inhibition of 80.0%. The results suggested that Lipoxygenases, Hyaluronidase, and Busan 47340, Republic of Korea from five Hydrocotyle species might be multifunctional and prevent the degradation of allergic reactions and inflammation.

세포질과 핵단백질의 serine과 threonine 잔기에 O-linked N-acetyl-$\beta$-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc)의 첨가는고등 진핵 세포에서 흔히 일어나는 번역 후 단백질의 변형 중 하나로서 단백질의 인산화와 유사한 세포 내 신호전달에 관여하는 것으로 보인다. O-GlcNAc의 첨가와 제거는 O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT)와 O-linked N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucos-aminidase (O-GlcNAcase) 효소에 의해 각각 촉매된다. 두가지 종류의 사람 유래 O-GlcNAcase 유전자(O-GlcNAcase, v-O-GlcNAcase)를cloning하고 세 가지의 융합단백질로 대장균에서 생산을 시도하였다. O-GlcNAcase의 기질 유사체 인 ${\rho}$-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-g1ucosaminide (${\rho}$NP-$\beta$-D-GlcNAc)를 기질로 사용하여 효소활성을 측정 한 결과 v-O-GlcNAcase는 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 여러 종류의 amino sugar 기질 유사체를 사용하여 O-GlcNAcase의 활성을 측정하였으나 오직 ${\rho}$NP-$\beta$-D-GlcNAc만이 활성을 보였다. Blast검색으로 분석한 결과 아미노 말단의 hyaluronidase-like domain (hyaluronidase-유사 영역)과 카르복시 말단의 N-acetyltransferase 영역 두 곳의 conserved domains 존재하였다. 효소촉매에 중요한 영역을 밝히기 위해 여러 deletion mutants(결손 변이체)를 제작한 후 효소활성을 측정하고 Western blot으로 분석하였다. Hyaluronidas-유사 영역, 유전자 내부와 N-acetyltransferase 영역을 제거할 경우 효소활성이 사라졌으나 아미노 말단의 55개 아미노산과 카르복시 말단의 truncation은 활성을 일부분 유지하였다. 위의 사실에 기초하여 hyaluronidas-유사 영역은 효소활성에 중요하고 카르복시 말단의 N-acetyltransferase 영역은 조절기능으로 작용하는 것으로 추정된다.

The goals of the present study were to develop a simple method for obtain highly purified pig sperm hyaluronidase (pHyase) and to assess its activity, function, and safety. In mammals, sperm-specific glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored Hyase assists sperm penetration through the cumulus mass surrounding the egg and aids in the dispersal of the cumulus-oocyte complex. Recently, Purified bovine sperm hyaluronidase (bHyase) has been shown to enhance therapeutic drug transport by breaking down the hyaluronan barrier to the lymphatic and capillary vessels, thereby facilitating tissue absorption. Commercially available Hyase is typically isolated from bovine or ovine; which have several disadvantages, including the risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, low homology with human Hyase, and the requirement for relatively complex isolation procedures. This study successfully isolated highly purified pHyase in only two steps, using ammonium sulfate precipitation and fast protein liquid chromatography. The isolated Hyase had activity equal to that of commercial bHyase, facilitated in vitro fertilization, and effectively dissolved high molecule hyaluronic acid. This simple, effective isolation method could improve the availability of pHyase for research and clinical applications.

To investigate the relationship between structure and biological activity of phenylpropanoids, we measured effects of phenylpropanoids on anti-oxidant and whitening activity, In DPPH radical scavenging activity, caffeic acid analogues showed the significant anti-oxidant activity. Although phenylpropanoids did not inhibit purified-tyrosinase activity, they significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin production in MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells. However, phenylpropanoids did not affect tyrosinase expression in MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells, which suggest that inhibition of MSH-induced melanin production was due to tyrosinase inhibition mediated via other signal pathways but not expression of tyrosinase. Phenylpropanoids also significantly inhibited both hyaluronidase and elastase activity, suggesting that phenylpropanoids may be used as whitening, hydration and anti-wrinkling agents. Hydroxyl residue of aromatic ring in phenylpropanoids plays an important role in anti-oxidant and whitening activity.

Echinodorus cordifolius (L.)은 택사과(Alismataceae)에 속하는 수생 식물이다. Echinodorus cordifolius (L.)의 피부 항노화 활성에 대한 연구는 아직까지 보고되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 Echinodorus cordifolius (L.)로부터 70% 에탄올 추출물 (ECEE)을 제조하고 항산화 및 hyaluronidase 억제 활성을 통해 피부 항노화 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하였다. ECEE는 EC₅₀과 IC₅₀ 값이 각각 31.4, 300, 450 ㎍/mL로 우수한 DPPH, hydrogen peroxide 소거 활성 및 hyaluronidase 억제 활성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. ECEE는 불멸화된 인간 각질세포인 HaCaT 세포에서 1 mM H₂O₂로 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대해 농도 의존적으로 세포 보호 효과 증가 및 세포 내 활성산소종을 생성을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 ECEE는 hyaluronic acid (HA) 합성 효소인 hyaluronan synthase 2 발현 수준을 상향 조절하고 HA 분해 효소인 hyaluronidase 2(HYAL2)의 발현 수준을 하향 조절하여 HaCaT 세포에서 HA 생성량을 증가시켰다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 종합하면 ECEE는 항산화, hyaluronidase 억제 및 HA 생성 촉진의 우수한 잠재력을 가진다는 것을 확인하였고 이를 통해 피부 노화를 방지하기 위한 천연 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 충분한 활용 가치가 있다고 판단된다.

During mammalian fertilization, germ cell-specific hyaluronidases, such as sperm adhesion molecule 1 (SPAM1) and hyaluronoglucosaminidase 5 (Hyal5), are important for the dispersal of the cumulus mass. In this study, we demonstrated that bull Hyal5 is a single copy gene on chromosome 4 that is expressed specifically in the testis. In addition, we expressed recombinant bull SPAM1 and Hyal5 in human embryonic kidney 293T cells and showed that these enzymes possessed hyaluronidase activity. We also demonstrated that a polyclonal antibody against bull sperm hyaluronidase inhibits sperm-egg interactions in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) assay. Our results suggested that bull Hyal5 may have a critical role in bull fertilization.
