Platycodi Radix, the root of Platycodon grandiflorum, commonly known as Doraji, is used as a traditional oriental medicine. Extracts from the roots of P. grandiflorum have been reported to have wide ranging health benefits. In the present study, we investigated the effects of an aqueous extract from the roots of P. grandiflorum (AEPG) on the growth of human lung carcinoma A549 cells. Results obtained are as fellow; AEPG treatment resulted in the inhibition of the cell viability of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Upon treatment with AEPG, A549 cells developed many of the hallmark features of apoptosis, including condensation of chromatin. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed that AEPG increased populations of apoptotic-sub G1 phase. Western blot and RT-PCR analyses indicated that the expressions of Bcl-2 was down-regulated but Bax was up-regulated in AEPG-treated A549 cells. AEPG-induced apoptotis of A549 cells was associated with rroteolytic cleavage and activation of caspase-3, release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into cytosol and down-regulation of Akt and phospho-Akt proteins in a dose-dependent manner. Induction of apoptosis by AEPG treatment was associated with inhibition and/or degradation of apoptotic target proteins such as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, β-catenin and phospholipase C-γ 1. AEPG treatment inhibited the levels of cyclooxygenases protein of A549 cells, which was associated with the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 accumulation in a concentration-dependent fashion. Taken together, these findings suggest that P. grandiflorum has strong potential for development as an agent for prevention against human lung cancer.

Platycodon grandiflorum (Bell flower) is an important plant that has traditionally been used as herbal medicine for the treatment of cough, phlegm, sore throats, lung abscesses, chest pains, dysuria, and dysentery. The present study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of inducing shoot and root organogenesis in cultured explants of P. grandiflorum in a range of culture media and through use of various plant growth regulators (PGRs). The plantlets (Stem containing one node) were isolated and cultured on different concentrations of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with PGRs. We found that proliferation and elongation of shoots and roots could be achieved on 1/4 MS for P. grandiflorum with wild and green petals and on 1/8 MS for P. grandiflorum with double petals. The highest levels of development and elongation of adventitious shoots and roots were observed when petal explants were cultured on 1/4 MS (pH 3.8) supplemented with 5% sucrose. Increasing the agar concentration reduced shoot growth and rooting potential; nevertheless, the highest number of shoots and roots was observed on 0.6% agar. In the case of growth regulators, 1/4 MS supplemented with $1mg\;L^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) was found to be best for shooting, although higher concentrations of BA tended to reduce shoot and root elongation. The highest number of shoots was achieved on $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ thidiazuron (TDZ) from double petal explants grown on 1/8 MS. However, root and shoot elongation were found to decrease when TDZ concentrations were increased. Low concentrations of kinetin, naphthalene acetic acid, indole acetic acid, and 3-indole butyric acid induced shoot and root proliferation and elongation. Taken together, our study showed that low concentrations of PGRs induced the greatest root formation and elongation, showing that the optimal concentration of PGRs for shoot proliferation was species-dependent.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate enhancing the immunogenicity effects of Platycodon grandiflorum(PG) on adaptive immune system. Methods: To investigate the effect of PG as an adjuvant, we used the ovalbumin (OVA) as an antigen at first. The proliferation of lymphocytes, the antibody titer, the subisotypes of antibodies and the production of cytokines were measured. Results: The proliferation of lymphocytes and the antibody titer were increased after PG treatment. The increased subisotypes of antibodies were IgG2 and IgG3 induced from T1-helper cells. However IgE induced from T2-helper cells was decreased. The production of cytokines derived from T1-helper cells was increased but that from T2-helper cells was decreased. Conclusion: It is supposed that PG has an immunogenicity effect as an adjuvant on adaptive immune system.

Plants, including Platycodon grandiflorum have been used globally across varied cultures as a safe natural source of medicines. From time immemorial, humans have relied on plants that could meet their basic necessities such as food, shelter, fuel and health. This study was executed to profile proteins from the hormone induced diploid and tetraploid roots using high throughput proteome approach. Two dimensional gels stained with CBB, a total of 64 differential expressed proteins were identified from the diploid root using image analysis by Progenesis SameSpot software. Out of total differential expressed spots, 20 differential expressed protein spots ( ${\geq}1.5-fold$) were analyzed using LTQ-FTICR MS whereas a total of 13 protein spots were up regulated and 7 protein spots were down-regulated. However, in the case of tetraploid root, a total of 78 differential expressed proteins were identified from tetraploid root of which a total of 28 differential expressed protein spots (${\geq}1.5-fold$) were analyzed by mass spectrometry whereas a total of 16 protein spots were up regulated and a total of 12 protein spots were down-regulated. However, proteins identified using iProClass databases revealed that the identified proteins from the explants were mainly associated with the nucleic acid binding, oxidoreductase activity, transporter activity and isomers activity. The exclusive protein profile may provide insight clues for better understanding the characteristics of protein function and its metabolic activity that can help for the development of the nutritional and breeding aspects of this economically important medicinal plant.

PGSE의 혈당조절 효과를 평가하기 위하여 제2형 당뇨 동물모델을 이용하여 8주간의 동물실험을 진행한 결과, 고농도 PGSE(600 mg/kg)의 투여는 경구 포도당 내성 및 혈당 수준을 유의적으로 감소시켰으며(p<0.05), 당화혈색소도 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 유지시켰다(p<0.05). 또한, 혈청 인슐린과 렙틴 농도 역시 대조군과 비교하여 PGSE 고농도 처리군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). PGSE 투여는 db/db 마우스의 골격근에서 인슐린 의존적 세포신호전달경로를 유의적으로 활성화시켰으며, AMPK 인산화를 촉진시키고, 골격근내 포도당 흡수를 위한 GLUT4의 세포막으로의 전이를 대조군 대비 약 1.7배 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 할 때 PGSE는 항 당뇨병 치료제로서의 잠재적 가능성을 가진 것으로 판단된다.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure is a risk factor for skin damage resulting in oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) to improve its biological activities using a three-step steaming process. We investigated the protective effects of PG and steamed PG extracts on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) against UVB radiation-induced oxidative stress and inflammation as well as the underlying mechanisms. The antioxidant potential of the PG extracts was evaluated by measuring the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) scavenging activity. ABTS and DPPH were shown by the 0, 30, and 70% ethanol extracts of 2S-PG and 3S-PG ($IC_{50}$, 28~45 and $27{\sim}30{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). Treatment of UVB-irradiated cells with steamed PG ($25{\sim}400{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect their viability. The streamed PG extract suppressed UVB-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, streamed PG extract reduced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression in UVB-irradiated HDF, regulating nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$ expression. These findings suggest that steamed PG extract may be potentially effective against inflammation associated with UVB-induced oxidation stress.

세포막 유동성은 생체의 항상성 유지의 가장 기본적이며 중요한 기능으로서, 도라지의 용매별 분획물의 첨가로 세포막 유동성에 미치는 영향을 열시차 열량분석법 (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC)으로 측정하였다. DPPC liposome에 도라지의 용매별 분획물 첨가시 첨가물의 농도 증가에 따라 서서히 상전이 온도가 저하되었고 thermogram도 넓어졌으며 이에 따라 협동 단위($\Delta$ $H_{vH}$ /$\Delta$ $H_{cal}$)수도 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 도라지 분획물의 첨가로 DPPC liposome의 유동성이 증가하였음을 보여주는 결과로 생각 되어진다. 시료의 각 용매별 분획물의 유동성 효과는 ethyl-ether 분획층인 PGMEE의 경우 상전이온도 Tm이 시료첨가 최고농도에서 DPPC liposome 만의 경우보다 4.3$^{\circ}C$가 저하되어 다른 분획물보다 그 정도가 두드러졌으며 그 순서는 hexane 분획층 PGMH, ethylacetate 분획층인 PGMEA 및 methanol 분획층 PGMM의 순이었으며 butanol 층인 PGMB는 그 효과가 미미하여 앞서의 열역학적 요소에 거의 영향을 미치지 못했다. 이와 같은 결과는 PGMB를 제외한 시료의 각 분획물 성분 중 분자내 hydrophobicity가 큰 물질들이 DPPC liposome 이중층의 소수성부분에 더 깊숙히 침투됨으로써 인지질 liposome의 유동성을 증가시킨 현상이라고 생각된다. 도라지의 용매별 분획물의 막유동성 증가는 이온, 약물, 영양물의 흡수, 수송 및 교환등 생체막의 주요기능에 영향을 미치므로 막유동성을 증가시키는 도라지 분획물들의 생리활성물질에 대한 더욱 구체적인 연구가 기대되어 진다.
