Purpose: This study was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of Polygonum multiflorum(PM) on melanin synthesis in B16F10. Methods: The Inhibitory effects of Polygonum multiflorum(PM) on melanin synthesis were determined by in-vitro assay. To elucidate inhibitory effects of Polygonum multiflorum on melanin synthesis, we determined the melanin release and melanin production in B16F10. And to investigate the action mechanism, we assessed the gene expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, MMP-2, PKA, PKC, ERK-1 ERK-2, AKT-1, MITF in B16F10. Results: 1. PM inhibited melanin-release, melanin production in B16F10. 2. PM inhibited tyrosinase activity in vitro and in B16F10. 3. PM suppressed the expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1 in B16F10. 4. PM suppressed the expression of PKA in B16F10. 5. PM suppressed the expression of ERK-1, ERK-2, AKT-1 in B16F10. 6. PM suppressed the expression of MITF in B16F10. Conclusion: From these results, it may be concluded that PM possesses the antimelanogenetic effects.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) usually develops in patients with an individual or family history of allergic diseases, and is characterized by chronic relapsing inflammation seen specially in childhood, association with IgE hyperproduction and precipitation by environmental factors. and wished to examine closely effect that Polygonum multiflorum isolated PM-E and PM-70M orally adminstration used to atopy dermatitis disease patient get in atopy eruption control experimentally. Atopic dermatitis is a chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease. Animal models induced by relevant allergens play a very important role in the elucidation of the disease. This study was investigated the anti-allergic effect of PM-E and PM-70M on BMAC induced atopic dermatitis in NC/Nga mice. We summerized as the follow. PM-E and PM-70M significantly reduced the skin number of total cell number, CD4⁺ and CD11b⁺/Gr-1 cell compared with positive control and decreased the invasion of CD4⁺ cell in dorsal skin tissue compared with positive control group by using immunohistochemical staining and chemokine such as eotaxin and CCR3 compared with positive control group. PM-E and PM-70M markedly suppressed invasion and edema of leukocytes and mast cell in dorsal skin. Taken together, these findings suggested that PM-E and PM-70M has an anti-allergic activity and this might be useful for the clinical application to treat allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Objective: The goal of this preclinical study was to compare the dyslipidemic effect of pravastatin with that of herbal medicine in rats. Methods: In total, 40 rats were divided into 4 groups: Normal (10 rats), Control (10 rats), Statin alone (10 rats), and the MO-PM-S group (10 rats), which was given the powder of the cortex of Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils., the root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, and pravastatin. The Control group, the Statin alone group, and the MO-PM-S group were all given a high-fat (45%) diet that made them obese. After 2 weeks of drug administration, the dyslipidemic effect of pravastatin was compared with that of herbal medicine in rats by analyzing the lipid profiles, measuring the body weights, and taking biopsies (liver, aorta). Results: The herbal medicine and the statin complex group got a much lower TG level and a slightly higher HDL-cholesterol level than the other groups. However, it got a higher total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol level than the other groups. In biopsies, 30% of the Statin alone group and 10% of the MO-PM-S group showed mild histopathologic findings in the liver. Conclusion: The cortex of the Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils. and the root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb have dyslipidemic effects from the perspective of a TG level and HDL-cholesterol. However, the herbal mixture has a raising effect on both the LDL-cholesterol and the total cholesterol levels. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the herbal mixture helps to prevent dyslipidemia. In liver biopsies, the group administered with both the herbal mixture and the statin showed less histopathologic findings than the group administered with statin alone. This means that the herbal mixture helps to prevent fatty degeneration of the liver.

Polygoni multiflori Ramulus (PM), the stem of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. has been widely used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of lots of diseases. In macrophages, nitric oxide is released as an inflammatory mediator and has been proposed to be an important modulator of many pathophysiological conditions in inflammation. In the present study, it was investigated that the inhibitory effects on NO and proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the mechanism of down-regulation of immune response by 85% methanol extracts of PM in mouse (C57BL/6) peritoneal macrophages. Extracts of PM (0.1, 1 mg/ml) suppressed NO production and showed inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines like TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and it attenuated iNOS and COX-2 expression via down-regulation of NF-${\kappa}$B activation. The present results indicate that the 85% methanol extracts of PM has an inhibitory effect on the production of NO through down-regulation of iNOS expression in LPS stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages and therefore may be beneficial in diseases which related to macrophage-mediated inflammatory disorders.

본 논문은 국내 적하수오 및 백하수오 추출물의 항산화능 및 항균활성을 구명하기 위한 목적으로 진행하였다. 각 하수오의 열수, 에탄올, 부탄올 추출물에 대하여, 일반성분을 분석한 후, 항산화능에 대해서는 총 페놀함량 및 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 측정하였으며, 항균활성에 대해서는 Staphylococcus aureus 및 Propionibacterium acne에 대한 최소생육저해농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC) 및 생육저해환을 통하여 평가하였다. 적하수오 및 백하수오 부탄올 추출물의 총 페놀함량은 각각 1,212.6 및 1,454.5 mg/g GAE로 다른 유기용매 추출물에 비해 유의적으로 높은 함량을 보였다. 이에 비해 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 열수추출물에 비해 에탄올 추출물(89.0%), 부탄올 추출물(88.9%)이 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었다. MIC 측정 결과, 적 백하수오 에탄올 추출물만이 0.8 mg/mL로 S. aureus와 P. acne에 대해서 항균효과를 나타냈다. 디스크 확산법 측정 결과, 모든 유기용매 추출물이 5 mg/disc 농도부터 생육저해환을 형성하였으며, 농도가 증가함에 따라 생육저해환의 크기도 증가하였다. 적하수오 및 백하수오 에탄올 추출물의 조사균주에 대한 생육저해완의 직경은 10 mg/mL 농도에서 각각 8.9 및 9.2 mm를 나타내, 추출물 중 가장 우수한 항균활성을 나타냈다. 본 연구는 하수오 추출물이 항산화 효과 뿐만 아니라 피부 건강과 관련된 세균에 대해 항균활성을 보여줌으로써, 하수오 추출물이 피부 건강을 위한 천연 유래의 기능성 화장품 소재로도 활용될 수 있는 잠재적 가능성을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 하수오에서 분리한 PM-E와 PM-70M를 이용하여 GATA-3의존성 Th2세포 조절과 IgE 억제 효과를 실험하였다. 하수오를 물질분리하여 GATA-3 전사인자 활성을 억제하는 하수오 물질분획층이 흡착크로마토그래피를 통하여 70% 메탄올층에 포함되어 있다고 분석하였다. 그 결과 PM-70 %MFL 분획이 Th2 사이토카인을 조절하는 GATA-3를 억제하여 항알레르기 작용 효과가 있다고 생각된다. 하수오를 흡착크로마토그래피로 분리하여 분획들을 anti-CD40/rmIL-4와 동시 배양하여 B세포에서 IgE 분비를 억제하는지를 알아본 결과, PM-30M층, PM-70A, 그리고 PM-30A층의 IL-6와 TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA, IgE 분비량은 대조군과 차이가 없었다. 그러나 IL-6와 TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA 유전자 발현은 각각 $0.69{\pm}0.058$(p<0.001)과 $0.72{\pm}0.58$ (p<0.05)로 대조군에 비하여 30% 이상 유의하게 억제하였다. IgE 분비량은 $94.6{\pm}16.0$으로 대조군에 비교하였을 때 45.6% 이상 유의하게 감소를 나타내었다 (p<0.01). 본 연구를 통해 하수오의 분획중 PM-70 %MFL층에 B세포의 분화 및 활성을 억제하는 성분이 포함된 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR), the roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, is used to nourish the blood and yin and used for preventing premature greying of the hair. There are some articles on its preventing effects on the melanogenesis. However, there is no report about its effects on the collagen and elastin. The present study was designed to investigate its effects on collagen metabolism and elastase activity. Methods : The effects of PMR on type I procollagen production and collagenase activity in human normal fibroblasts Hs68 after UVB (312 nm) irradiation were measured by ELISA method. Cells were pretreated with the PMR for 24 hours prior to UVB irradiation. After UVB irradiation, cells were retreated with the sample and incubated for additional 24 hours. The amount of collagen type I was measured with a procollagen type I C-peptide assay kit. The activity of collagenase was measured with a MMP-1 human biotrak ELISA system. The elastase activities after treatment of PMR were measured as well. Results : In the present study, the collagen production was not increased. However, the increased collagenase activity after UVB damage was significantly recovered to $50.2{\pm}14.5%$, $8.2{\pm}3.1%$, and $10.0{\pm}3.3%$ (10, 30, and $100{\mu}g/ml$). The elastase activities (10, 100, and $1000{\mu}g/ml$) significantly reduced to $75.2{\pm}5.2%$, $40.3{\pm}1.2%$, and $27.0{\pm}1.9%$, respectively. Conclusion : PMR showed the inhibitory effects on collagenase and elastase activity. These results suggest that PMR may have potential as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetic herbal treatment.
