Objectives: We investigated about the microbial properties and changes in the efficacy of the Codonopsis lanceolata (CL) by natural fermentation. Methods: CL was fermented for four weeks in a well-ventilated place with 2.5% salt. pH, total sugar, total polyphenol, and total flavonoid were measured to determine fermentation characteristics according to fermentation period and salt treatment. Polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and random amplification of polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction were carried out for microbial analysis during fermentation. In addition, HepG2 cell was cultured to check the lipid accumulation through oil red O staining and the glucose uptake was analyzed by measuring the 2-NBDG at C2C12 cell. Results: The pH level and the total sugar decreased with the CL fermentation. Total polyphenol and flavonoid increased after CL fermentation. It was confirmed that Leuconostoc mesenteroides were maintained continuously during fermentation. In the salt treatment CL, there was a sharp increase in Rahnella aquatilis. Lactobacillus plantarum matrix was observed in fermented CL. In addition, Lactococcus lactis, Weissella koreensis, R. aquatilis, L. plantarum, Leu. mesenteroides have been added to the salt treatment. Glucose uptake were significantly increased after fermentation with salt for four weeks. Lipid accumulation in the HepG2 cells was observed that there was difference (P<0.01) between free fatty acid group (100%) and decreased 4 weeks after fermentation (90.38%) at $800{\mu}g/mL$. Conclusions: Total polyphenol and flavonoid were increased after CL fermentation. Especially, percentage of the glucose uptake and lipid accumulation inhibition increased in CL fermentation with salt. It is expected that fermentation of salt treated CL will be more effective in diabetes and fatty liver.

본 연구실에서 개발한, 김치에서 분리한 Leu. mesenteroides SY2 유래 pFMBL1 을 바탕으로 구축한 셔틀벡터인, pSJE[7]를 외래유전자 발현에 적합하게 개량한 발현벡터를 구축하였다. Lactococcus lactis LM0230에서 분리한 프로모터 P6C를 pSJE에 도입하였다. P6C 염기서열을 지닌 oligonucleotide 쌍을 따로 제조한 후 annealing을 통해 짧은 DNA 단편을 얻어서 제한효소 처리후 pSJE에 도입하여 pSJE6c를 구축하였다. PSJE6c 효능 검증을 위해서 외래 유전자인 aga와 lacZ를 각각 pSJE6c에 도입하였다. P6C 프로모터와 비교를 위해 고유 프로모터를 지닌 유전자들도 각각 pSJE에 도입하였다. 재조합 plasmid들을 electroporation 방법으로 Lactobacillus brevis 2.14 균주에 도입하고 재조합균주들의 생육곡선과 효소역가 그리고 slot blot으로 전사체 농도를 측정하였다. 결과를 보면 PSJE6c에 클로닝 된 유전자들이 pSJE상의 유전자보다 효소역가들이 약 1.5배에서 2배 정도로 높았다. 전사체 농도 측정 결과도 pSJE6c 들에서 더 많은 전사체가 생성됨을 보여주었다. 이상 결과들은 효율적인 발현벡터들의 사용을 통해서 김치유산균에서 외래유전자 발현 효율을 높일 수 있음을 보여준다.
