  • Oriental medicine explains aging as the weakening of Kidney-ai, and Kidney-strengthening herbal medicines such as Yukmijihwang-tang have been studied for anti-aging effects. In Western Medicine, the hypothesis that reactive oxidant species(ROS) contribute to the aging process is generally accepted. It has been reported that Moutan Cortex Radicis extract (MCR) was the most effective constituent of Yukmijihwang-tang in decreasing ROS production in oxidative-stressed cells. The purpose of this study is to confirm the anti-oxidant effect of MCR on PC12 cells, the expression of Heme oxygenase (HO), Macrophage migradon inhibitory factor (MIF), Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) using real time RT PCR. PC12 cells were treated without or with hydrogen peroxide in the presence or absence of MCR using MTS assay. Hydrogen peroxide decreased the viability of PC12 cells by 53% and MCR did not influence that of stressed PC 12 cells irrespective of dose or incubation period. However, MCR showed an inhibitory effect on production of ROS in stressed cells, both dose and incubation time dependently. In particular, 1 ㎎/㎖ of MCR for 24 h culture almost returned to normal level. In the quantiation of anti-aging related gene expression, MCR at 1 ㎎/㎖ increased the expression of HO by 370%, MIF by 180% and COMT by 280% through real time RT PCR. In conclusion, MCR treatment protected PC12 cells from hydrogen peroxide and decreased ROS production and enhanced anti-oxidative gene expression such as HO, COMT and MIF, which suggests that MCR is involved in controlling anti-aging of nerve cells through elimination of cytotoxic stimuli.

  • The present study examined the inhibitory effect of licorice compounds glycyrrhizin and a metabolite $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid on the neurotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in the mouse and on the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ($MPP^+$)-induced cell death in differentiated PC12 cells. MPTP treatment increased the activities of total superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase and the levels of malondialdehyde and carbonyls in the brain compared to control mouse brain. Co-administration of glycyrrhizin (16.8 mg/kg) attenuated the MPTP effect on the enzyme activities and formation of tissue peroxidation products. In vitro assay, licorice compounds attenuated the $MPP^+$-induced cell death and caspase-3 activation in PC12 cells. Glycyrrhizin up to $100{\mu}M$ significantly attenuated the toxicity of $MPP^+$. Meanwhile, $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid showed a maximum inhibitory effect at $10{\mu}M$; beyond this concentration the inhibitory effect declined. Glycyrrhizin and $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid attenuated the hydrogen peroxide- or nitrogen species-induced cell death. Results from this study indicate that glycyrrhizin may attenuate brain tissue damage in mice treated with MPTP through inhibitory effect on oxidative tissue damage. Glycyrrhizin and $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid may reduce the $MPP^+$ toxicity in PC12 cells by suppressing caspase-3 activation. The effect seems to be ascribed to the antioxidant effect.

  • (+)-Eudesmin [4,8-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7 -dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane] was isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia kobus DC. var. borealis Sarg. and found to have neuritogenic activity. $50\;{\mu}M$ (+)-eudesmin induced neurite outgrowth and enhanced nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells. At this concentration, (+)-eudesmin also enhanced NGF-induced neurite-bearing activity and this activity was partially blocked by various protein kinase inhibitors. These included PD98059, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase inhibitor. GF109203X, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and H89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. These results suggest that (+)-eudesmin can induce neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells by stimulating up-stream MAPK, PKC and PKA pathways.

  • The effects of $(1R,9S)-\beta-hydrastine$ hydrochloride (BHSH) on $Ca^{2+}$ transport in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were investigated. In the presence of external $Ca^{2+}$, BHSH at $100{\mu}M$ inhibited $K^+$ (56mM)-induced dopamine release, and $K^+-induced$ $Ca^{2+}$ influx and a sustained rise of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$. In addition, BHSH at 100 f.!M reduced the sustained rise of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ elicited by 20 mM caffeine, but not by $1{\mu}M$ thapsigargin, in presence of external $Ca^{2+}$. These results suggest that BHSH inhibited $K^+-induced$ dopamine release and $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ influx, and store-operated $Ca^{2+}$ channels activated by caffeine, but not by thapsigargin, in PC12 cells.

  • A lignan derivative, (-)-(7R, 8S)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DHDA), was isolated from Kalopanax septemlobus L. and was observed to have neuritogenic activity. DHDA at 50 $\mu$M caused a marked induction of neurite outgrowth and an enhancement of nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells. However, it did not exhibit any neurotrophic action. At 50 $\mu$M, DHDA enhanced NGF-induced neurite-bearing activity. This activity was partially blocked by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor PD98059 and by GF109203X, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. These results suggest that DHDA can induce neurite outgrowth and enhance NGF-induced neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells by amplifying up-stream steps such as MAPK and PKC.

  • 열방성 액정고분자(LCP)와 polycarbonate(PC) poly(ether imide) (PEI) poly(PEEK), polysulfone(PSF), 그리고 polyarylsulfone(PAS)과의 블렌드에 대한 상용성을 연구하였다. 제조된 블렌드의 상거동에서 액정고분자가 PC-, PEI-, PEEK-, PSF-, 그리고 PAS-rich 상 에 녹아 들어가는 양이 PC, PEI, PEEK, PSF, 그리고 PAS가 액정 고분자 -rich상에 녹아들 어가는 양보다 많음을 알수 있었다. 측정된 블렌드의 유리전이온도 결과로부터 PC, PEI, PEEK와 액정고분자 사이의 상용성이 PSF, PAS와 액정 고분자 사이의 상용성에 비하여 더 좋음을 알수 있었다. 액정 고분자의 이방성을 고려하여 고분자-고분자 상호작용계수($\chi$12)를 결정하였으며, PC, PEI, PEEK, PSF, 그리고 PAS를 포함한 액정 고분자 블렌드에서 $\chi$12는 0.078-0.183으로 나타났다.

  • 폴리카보네이트 (PC)와 몬모릴로나이트 (montmorillonite, MMT)의 나노복합체를 용액 및 용융 혼합 방법으로 층간삽입시켜 제조하여 X-ray 실험으로 MMT의 층간간격 변화를 조사하였다. MMT로는 $Na^+$를 양이온으로 갖는 순수 MMT (MMT-Na)와 도데실암모늄 (MMT-DA) 및 dimethyl hydrogenated tallow 2-ethylhexyl ammonium으로 개질된 MMT (MMT-25A)를 사용하였다. PC/MMT-25A와 PC/MMT-DA가 PC/MMT-Na보다 층간거리의 증가폭이 컸으며, 혼합방법에 따라 최대 $37AA$까지 층간간격이 증가하였다. 또 PC의 분자량이 작을수록, 혼합시간이 증가할수록 삽입이 잘 일어났다. 열중량분석법 (TGA)으로 측정한 열안정성은 PC/MMT-25A가 PC/MMT-Na와 순수한 PC보다 우수함을 나타내었다.

  • 전과정평가 기법을 적용하여 재생 플라스틱을 사용한 휴대폰 충전기의 전과정 환경영향을 정량화하고, 신재 플라스틱과 재생플라스틱의 환경영향을 비교하였다. 충전기의 제조전, 제조, 유통, 사용 및 폐기를 포함하는 전과정 단계별로 자원고갈, 산성화, 부영양화, 지구온난화, 오존층고갈, 광화학산화물생성 환경영향을 분석하였다. 자원고갈 및 지구온난화 영향범주에서는 충전기의 사용단계 환경영향이 각각 94.4%, 70%를 차지하여 가장 큰 환경영향을 나타냈고, 그 외 영향범주에서는 제조전단계의 환경영향이 98% 이상을 차지하였다. 사용단계의 경우 충전기에 의해 소모되는 전력이 주요 원인이고, 제조전단계 경우 PBA (Printed Board Assembly)와 외장 Case 제조공정이 주요 원인이었다. 외장 Case에 사용되는 재생 PC (Polycarbonate)의 환경개선 효과를 정량화하기 위해 재생 PC와 신재 PC 각 1 kg 생산할 때의 환경영향을 평가하였다. 재생 PC는 신재 PC 대비 자원고갈영향은 30% 수준이며 다른 영향범주에서는 5% 미만으로 잠재적인 환경개선효과가 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 연구에 활용된 주요 데이터 및 가정에 대해 민감도 분석을 수행하였고, 총 12개 항목 분석결과 모든 항목에서 민감도는 10% 미만으로 도출되어 연구 결과의 신뢰도는 높다고 판단된다. 이 연구결과를 통해 충전기의 친환경성 개선을 위해서는 PBA의 소형/경량화 설계, 충전효율의 개선, 재생플라스틱 사용 확대가 전과정 환경영향을 줄이는데 중요한 설계 인자임을 확인하였다.
