지금까지 유자에서 추출한 Limonene은 항균활성 및 항산화 활성이 높은 것으로 알려져 왔으나, 면역능력 조절능력에 대한 연구가 부재하여 본 연구에서는 유자에서 Limonene 추출의 최적조건 탐색 및 대식세포와 마우스의 혈청 내 cytokine 분비능을 조사하였다. 추출의 최적조건 탐색 실험에서는 증류수를 이용한 연속증류추출법의 경우가 refluxing이라는 과정을 더해 줬을 때 다른 추출법보다 시간이 다소 오래 소요되는 단점은 있으나 용매를 이용하지 않고 증류수만 이용하여도 추출 후 Limonene의 회수율을 높일 수 있기에 편리하고 경제성이 뛰어난 추출법이라 판단되었다. 마우스의 대식세포를 이용한 in vitro 실험에서는 Limonene 처리에 의한 대식세포증식활성이 증가되는 경향을 보였으며 세포증식활성 관련 유전자 발현도 Limonene 추출물 처리에 의해 증가하였다. 마우스를 이용한 in vivo 실험에서는 대조군에 비해 사료섭취량이 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 이 결과가 체중증가량에 반영된 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 Limonene 추출물을 21일간 직접 경구 투여한 것이 위내 자극을 유도하였을 수도 있다고 판단되었다. 한편, 마우스에 면역자극을 유도하지 않은 조건하에서 혈중 IL-1β이 Limonene 급여 농도 의존적으로 증가한 것으로 나타나 In vitro 결과를 잘 반영해 주었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 Limonene을 다른 영양성분과의 결합 등을 유도한 by-pass Limonene을 제조하여 면역기능 조절활성을 유도할 가능성 등의 연구가 더욱 필요하다고 사료된다. 그러나 본 연구를 통해 유자추출물인 Limonene의 면역기능 조절활성을 갖는 것이 확인됨으로서 유자추출물의 친환경 사료첨가제 소재로서 개발 가능성이 제시되었다.

The cabbage extract of the research does not show cytotoxicity, and thus can be used safely. In an experiment performed on an animal model with liver injury induced by a drug (APAP), it could be seen that the cabbage extract exhibited the effects of protecting liver and improving liver function by effectively reducing AST and ALT which are liver injury markers, indicating that the cabbage extract is effective as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver disease. In particular, the cabbage extract was effective in treating inflammation of the liver by reducing the expression of the inflammatory mediators iNOS and COX-2 and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which are involved in acute inflammatory reactions accompanying liver injury. In the research, an extract of cabbage heat-treated at a temperature of 100 to 150℃ had a better liver function-improving effect or anti-inflammatory effect than an extract of raw cabbage.

In this study, we investigated whether Hibiscus manihot flowers (HMF) exhibits immunostimulatory activity in RAW264.7 cells. HMF increased the production of immunostimulatory factors such as NO, iNOS, IL-1β and TNF-α in RAW264.7 cells. TLR2 and TLR4 blocked HMF-mediated production of immunostimulatory factors in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the inhibition of MAPK signaling pathway reduced HMF-mediated production of immunostimulatory factors. From these results, HMF is thought to promote the production of immunostimulatory factors through activating TLR2/4/MAPK signaling in macrophages. It is believed that HMF can be developed as an agent related to immune enhancement in the future.

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are the main viral contributors to bovine respiratory disease (BRD) with high mortality and morbidity. BRD control measures include vaccination that modulates immunological profiles reflected in blood cells, serum, and body secretions, such as milk. This study evaluated the immune responses to an inactivated BRD vaccine in lactating cows reared in a natural environment on a dairy farm. The cows were intramuscularly inoculated with the vaccine, and serum, blood, and milk were collected pre-and post-vaccination. Our study revealed a prominent increase in BRSV-specific antibodies both in serum and milk, while the change in BVDV-specific antibodies was insignificant. Serum interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 levels significantly decreased, but this change was not reflected in milk. Evaluation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) via RT-qPCR revealed downregulation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2). The concentrations of BRSV antibodies, BVDV antibodies, IL-2, and IL-17A in serum and milk were strongly correlated, implying a concurrent influence on both body fluids. Thus, immunological factors modulated as a result of vaccination generally measured in serum were reflected in milk, demonstrating the suitability of milk evaluation as an alternative approach for immunological observations. Furthermore, the correlation between BRSV antibodies and NOD2 and that between BVDV antibodies and toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR3, TLR4, and TLR5 imply the possible role of PRRs for the assessment of the immune response developed in immunized cows reared on the farm.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Ojeok-san and compare the therapeutic effects according to its formation. Methods: We evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of Ojeok-san using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammatory animal model. Male SD rats were administered intra-orally with two different formulation types of Ojeok-san according to prescribed dosage. One hour later, to induce inflammatory responses, subsequent intra-peritoneal injection of LPS was conducted. After 5 hours later, serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 levels were measured by ELISA to assess the alteration of pro-inflammatory markers. Results: In our experiment, regardless of its formation, administration of Ojeok-san decreased TNF-𝛼, IL-1𝛽, IL-6 and PGE2 level in serum. Furthermore, LPS-induced toxicity of liver and kidney was not detected by Ojeok-san administration. Conclusions: The anti-inflammatory effect of Ojeok-san was shown in LPS-induced inflammatory model by decreasing pro-inflammatory markers, and there would be no significant difference in therapeutic effect between two formulation types of Ojeok-san.

This study investigated major constituents and anti-inflammatory effects of an ethanol extract of Platycodon grandiflorum leaves. Through HPLC analysis, chlorogenic acid and luteolin-7-O-glucoside were identified as predominant constituents in the ethanol extract. Their anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated using murine macrophage (RAW 264.7 cells) and human lung carcinoma cells (NCI-H292 & A549). The ethanol extract significantly (p<0.01) inhibited the production of nitrite, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, the ethanol extract suppressed the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) proteins in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with LPS. In NCI-H292 and A549 cells, treatment with the ethanol extract significantly (p<0.05) decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 induced by IL-1β. The phosphorylation of ERK rather than JNK in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway was observed to be a more important mediator in the down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in NCI-H292 cells. These findings suggest that the ethanol extract of Platycodon grandiflorum leaves containing luteolin-7-O-glucoside exhibits promising anti-inflammatory properties.

Sulconazole nitrate, C18H16Cl3N3O3S, crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a=14.401(1), b=8.051(1), c=34.861(2) Å, β=95.9(1)°, g=0.58 mm-1, Dc=1.523 g/cm3, Dm=1.522 g/cm3, F(000)=1888.0, and z=8. Intensities for 2460 unique reflections were measured on a CAD4 diffractometer with graphited-monochromated Mo-Kα radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by full matrix least squares to a final R=0.071 for 2182 reflections (Io > 2σIo). The bond lengths and angles are comparable with the values found in the analogues imidazole derivatives. The 2,4-dichlorophenyl ring(A) and the p-chlorophenyl ring(B) are almost planar with different heights [dihedral angle 17.3°] while the imidazole ring(C) is nearly perpendicular to the two phenyl rings[dihedral angles about the two rings A, B are 110.8° and 96.1° respectively]. In order to understand the overall conformation we calculated the selected distances (l1, l2, l3) among the center of the three rings and considered the imaginary plan D[C(7), C(9) and C(16)]. The two polar group S(8) and N(19) do not have gauche conformation and l2 value (4.47 Å) is shorter than the other imidazole derivatives. One -NO3 group are hydrogen bonded the two neighbored sulconazole molecules. The molecular crystal packing is also formed by two hydrogen bondings and van der Waals forces.

The Egr-1 is an immediate early response gene encoding a transcription factor that functions in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Estrogen has diverse physiological effects, including cellular proliferation and neuroprotection against brain injury. There are two types of estrogen receptors (ERs), $ER{\alpha}$ and $ER{\beta}$. $ER{\alpha}$-induced Egr-1 expression has been extensively studied; however, the role of $ER{\beta}$ is yet not known. In the present study, we investigated whether or not $ER{\beta}$ induces Egr-1 expression in C6 rat glioma cells, which express $ER{\beta}$ but not $ER{\alpha}$. Our results show that $ER{\beta}$ promoted up-regulation of Egr-1 expression via a non-genomic mechanism involving the Raf/MEK1/Erk/Elk-1 signaling cascade.
