  • Euonymus porphyreus는 노박덩굴과에 속하는 식물로 동아시아 지역에 널리 분포하며, 식물학상의 특징에 대한 보고는 있으나 항산화능과 항암활성 등에 관한 연구는 아직까지 밝혀진 바가 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인체 폐암세포인 A549를 사용하여 E. porphyreus 에탄올 추출물(EEEP)의 항산화 및 항암활성과 그 분자적 기전에 관하여 연구하였다. 먼저 EEEP의 총 폴리페놀 화합물과 플라보노이드 함량을 측정한 결과, 각각 115.42 mg/g, 23.07 mg/g이었다. EEEP의 DPPH radical 소거활성을 측정한 결과, IC50가 11.09 ㎍/ml로 뛰어난 항산화능을 보유한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 EEEP는 농도의존적으로 인체폐암세포주인 A549의 세포 성장을 저해하였으며, 세포 주기 변화를 분석한 결과 A549 세포의 SubG1기 세포비율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. Annexin V 염색과 DAPI 염색으로 EEEP 처리에 의해 apoptotic 세포와 apoptotic body가 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이러한 결과는 EEEP에 의해 A549 세포의 apoptosis가 유도되는 것을 시사한다. 또한 관련 단백질들의 발현변화를 분석한 결과, EEEP에 의해 Fas, p53, Bax의 발현이 증가하고 Bcl-2의 발현은 감소하였으며, caspase-8, -9와 caspase-3의 활성화를 통해 PARP가 분해되어 apoptosis가 유도되었음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들로부터 EEEP는 내인성 및 외인성 경로를 통한 apoptosis 유도에 의하여 A549 세포의 증식을 억제하는 항암활성을 보유하였음을 확인하였다.

  • 만성 염증은 종양의 발생 및 진행과 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 핵인자 kappa B (NF-κB)는 5개의 전사인자로 구성되며 염증 반응에 필수적인 역할을 한다. 다양한 암에서 NF-κB의 조절장애가 보고되고 있으며 NF-κB 조절이 암 치료에 있어 핵심 표적이 된다. 본 연구에서는 CDC Like Kinase 3 (CLK3)를 NF-κB 신호전달 경로를 조절하는 새로운 키네이스임을 확인하였다. 우리는 CLK3가 정규 및 비정규 NF-κB 신호전달경로를 억제하는 것을 밝혔다. CLK3 과발현 또는 knock-down 세포주를 이용한 루시퍼레이즈 분석 결과, 이 키네이스는 TNFα와 PMA가 유도하는 정규 NF-κB 신호전달경로 활성을 억제하였다. 또한 CLK3 과발현은 잘 알려진 비정규 NF-κB 신호경로 유도제인 NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) 또는 CD40에 의한 NF-κB 활성을 저해하였다. 추가적으로 CLK3의 NF-κB 신호전달 저해기전을 설명하고자 TNFα 처리 후 웨스턴 블롯 분석으로 이 키네이스 영향권 내에 있는 NF-κB 신호경로 분자들을 식별하였다. 그 결과 CLK3가 TAK1, IKKα/α, p65, IκBα 및 ERK1/2-MAPK의 인산화/활성화를 저해하여 TNFα 처리로 유도된 NF-κB 및 MAPK 신호경로를 모두 억제함을 밝혔다. 앞으로의 연구는 CLK3가 정규 및 비정규 NF-κB 경로를 억제하는 기작을 밝히는데 초점을 맞출 것이다. 위 연구 결과들을 토대로 CLK3가 NF-κB 신호전달경로의 새로운 음성 조절자로써 기능함을 제시하였다.

  • Background: Ginsenoside compound K (CK), the main active metabolite in Panax ginseng, has shown good safety and bioavailability in clinical trials and exerts neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemic stroke. However, its potential role in the prevention of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of ginsenoside CK against cerebral I/R injury. Methods: We used a combination of in vitro and in vivo models, including oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion induced PC12 cell model and middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion induced rat model, to mimic I/R injury. Intracellular oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification rate were analyzed by Seahorse multifunctional energy metabolism system; ATP production was detected by luciferase method. The number and size of mitochondria were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and MitoTracker probe combined with confocal laser microscopy. The potential mechanisms of ginsenoside CK on mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergy were evaluated by RNA interference, pharmacological antagonism combined with co-immunoprecipitation analysis and phenotypic analysis. Results: Ginsenoside CK pretreatment could attenuate mitochondrial translocation of DRP1, mitophagy, mitochondrial apoptosis, and neuronal bioenergy imbalance against cerebral I/R injury in both in vitro and in vivo models. Our data also confirmed that ginsenoside CK administration could reduce the binding affinity of Mul1 and Mfn2 to inhibit the ubiquitination and degradation of Mfn2, thereby elevating the protein level of Mfn2 in cerebral I/R injury. Conclusion: These data provide evidence that ginsenoside CK may be a promising therapeutic agent against cerebral I/R injury via Mul1/Mfn2 mediated mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergy.

  • Clubroot disease of crucifers has occurred since 1957. It has spread to the whole China, especially in the southwest and nourtheast where it causes 30-80% loss in some fields. The disease has being expanded in the recent years as seeds are imported and the floating seedling system practices. For its effective control, the Ministry of Agriculture of China set up a program in 2010 and a research team led by Dr. Yueqiu HE, Yunnan Agricultural University. The team includes 20 main reseachers of 11 universities and 5 institutions. After 5 years, the team has made a lot of progresses in disease occurrence regulation, resources collection, resistance identification and breeding, biological agent exploration, formulation, chemicals evaluation, and control strategy. About 1200 collections of local and commercial crucifers were identified in the field and by artificiall inoculation in the laboratories, 10 resistant cultivars were breeded including 7 Chinese cabbages and 3 cabbages. More than 800 antagostic strains were isolated including bacteria, stretomyces and fungi. Around 100 chemicals were evaluated in the field and greenhouse based on its control effect, among them, 6 showed high control effect, especially fluazinam and cyazofamid could control about 80% the disease. However, fluzinam has negative effect on soil microbes. Clubroot disease could not be controlled by bioagents and chemicals once when the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae infected its hosts and set up the parasitic relationship. We found the earlier the pathogent infected its host, the severer the disease was. Therefore, early control was the most effective. For Chinese cabbage, all controlling measures should be taken in the early 30 days because the new infection could not cause severe symptom after 30 days of seeding. For example, a biocontrol agent, Bacillus subtilis Strain XF-1 could control the disease 70%-85% averagely when it mixed with seedling substrate and was drenching 3 times after transplanting, i.e. immediately, 7 days, 14 days. XF-1 has been deeply researched in control mechanisms, its genome, and development and application of biocontrol formulate. It could produce antagonistic protein, enzyme, antibiotics and IAA, which promoted rhizogenesis and growth. Its The genome was sequenced by Illumina/Solexa Genome Analyzer to assembled into 20 scaffolds then the gaps between scaffolds were filled by long fragment PCR amplification to obtain complet genmone with 4,061,186 bp in size. The whole genome was found to have 43.8% GC, 108 tandem repeats with an average of 2.65 copies and 84 transposons. The CDSs were predicted as 3,853 in which 112 CDSs were predicted to secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism. Among those, five NRPS/PKS giant gene clusters being responsible for the biosynthesis of polyketide (pksABCDEFHJLMNRS in size 72.9 kb), surfactin(srfABCD, 26.148 kb, bacilysin(bacABCDE 5.903 kb), bacillibactin(dhbABCEF, 11.774 kb) and fengycin(ppsABCDE, 37.799 kb) have high homolgous to fuction confirmed biosynthesis gene in other strain. Moreover, there are many of key regulatory genes for secondary metabolites from XF-1, such as comABPQKX Z, degQ, sfp, yczE, degU, ycxABCD and ywfG. were also predicted. Therefore, XF-1 has potential of biosynthesis for secondary metabolites surfactin, fengycin, bacillibactin, bacilysin and Bacillaene. Thirty two compounds were detected from cell extracts of XF-1 by MALDI-TOF-MS, including one Macrolactin (m/z 441.06), two fusaricidin (m/z 850.493 and 968.515), one circulocin (m/z 852.509), nine surfactin (m/z 1044.656~1102.652), five iturin (m/z 1096.631~1150.57) and forty fengycin (m/z 1449.79~1543.805). The top three compositions types (contening 56.67% of total extract) are surfactin, iturin and fengycin, in which the most abundant is the surfactin type composition 30.37% of total extract and in second place is the fengycin with 23.28% content with rich diversity of chemical structure, and the smallest one is the iturin with 3.02% content. Moreover, the same main compositions were detected in Bacillus sp.355 which is also a good effects biocontol bacterial for controlling the clubroot of crucifer. Wherefore those compounds surfactin, iturin and fengycin maybe the main active compositions of XF-1 against P. brassicae. Twenty one fengycin type compounds were evaluate by LC-ESI-MS/MS with antifungal activities, including fengycin A $C_{16{\sim}C19}$, fengycin B $C_{14{\sim}C17}$, fengycin C $C_{15{\sim}C18}$, fengycin D $C_{15{\sim}C18}$ and fengycin S $C_{15{\sim}C18}$. Furthermore, one novel compound was identified as Dehydroxyfengycin $C_{17}$ according its MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectral data, which molecular weight is 1488.8480 Da and formula $C_{75}H_{116}N_{12}O_{19}$. The fengycin type compounds (FTCPs $250{\mu}g/mL$) were used to treat the resting spores of P. brassicae ($10^7/mL$) by detecting leakage of the cytoplasm components and cell destruction. After 12 h treatment, the absorbencies at 260 nm (A260) and at 280 nm (A280) increased gradually to approaching the maximum of absorbance, accompanying the collapse of P. brassicae resting spores, and nearly no complete cells were observed at 24 h treatment. The results suggested that the cells could be lyzed by the FTCPs of XF-1, and the diversity of FTCPs was mainly attributed to a mechanism of clubroot disease biocontrol. In the five selected medium MOLP, PSA, LB, Landy and LD, the most suitable for growth of strain medium is MOLP, and the least for strains longevity is the Landy sucrose medium. However, the lipopeptide highest yield is in Landy sucrose medium. The lipopeptides in five medium were analyzed with HPLC, and the results showed that lipopeptides component were same, while their contents from B. subtilis XF-1 fermented in five medium were different. We found that it is the lipopeptides content but ingredients of XF-1 could be impacted by medium and lacking of nutrition seems promoting lipopeptides secretion from XF-1. The volatile components with inhibition fungal Cylindrocarpon spp. activity which were collect in sealed vesel were detected with metheds of HS-SPME-GC-MS in eight biocontrol Bacillus species and four positive mutant strains of XF-1 mutagenized with chemical mutagens, respectively. They have same main volatile components including pyrazine, aldehydes, oxazolidinone and sulfide which are composed of 91.62% in XF-1, in which, the most abundant is the pyrazine type composition with 47.03%, and in second place is the aldehydes with 23.84%, and the third place is oxazolidinone with 15.68%, and the smallest ones is the sulfide with 5.07%.
