Caenorhabditis elegans model system was used to investigate the antioxidant activity of methanol extract of Melampyrum roseum (Scrophulariaceae). The ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the M. roseum methanol extract showed the best DPPH radical scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate fraction was measured for the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance by using C. elegans along with reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. In addition, to confirm that the regulation of the stress response gene is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of C. elegans treated by the ethyl acetate fraction, SOD-3 expression was measured using a transgenic strain. As a result, the ethyl acetate fraction increased SOD and catalase activity, and decreased ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the ethyl acetate fraction-treated CF1553 worm showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than the control worm.

We investigated the effect of propolis on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in rat liver exposed by X-ray irradiation. The dosage of propolis showed the effect of lowering the concentration of superoxide anion in irradiated rat liver, suggesting that propolis has a significant role to remove superoxide anion as an antioxidant and/or by activating the antioxidant enzyme. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR), disturbed by X-ray irradiation, were restored in 30 days to normal status in the group which dosed propolis before X-ray irradiation. Interestingly, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPOX) activities were highly increased with feeding propolis to rat compared to untreated group, whereas glutathione s-transferase (GST) activity was little affected. Taken together, it suggests that the propolis has a protective role in the rat liver cells against X-ray irradiation by increasing and recovering the activities of antioxidant enzymes.

Reactive oxygen species are produced under diabetic conditions and possibly cause various forms of tissue damage in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of high glucose on the alloxan-induced beta cell injury. The insulinoma (RINm5F) cells were clutured either with high glucose (22.2 mM) or normoglucose (5.6 mM) in RPMI 1460 media for 3 days. The SOD activities were determined by spectrophotometric assay and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) stain. The effects of high glucose on the cytotoxicity of alloxan were also investigated in RINm5F cells and the cells viability were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) methods. Results showed that the CuZn-SOD activity was decreased but Mn-SOD activity was increased significantly in RINm5F cells cultured with high glucose (22.2 mM) media. The cytotoxicity of alloxan was increased by high glucose compared with normoglucose in RINm5F cells. Diethyl-dithiocarbarmate (DDC), as inhibitor of CuZn-SOC, also potentiate the alloxan-induced cytotoxocity in RINm5F cells. These results suggest that, in RINm5F cells, short term culture with high glucose media decreases Cu-Zn-SOD activity and the decreased activity of CuZn-SOD many one of the causative factors of beta-cell injury induced by high glucose.

60종(種)의 자생 약용식물과 식용작물을 대상으로 항산화활성의 생리활성을 조사함으로써 약용식물과 식용작물의 유용성 측면의 확인뿐만 아니라 새로운 생리활성물질 탐색의 가능성을 검토하기 위해서 실시한 실험 결과는 다음과 같다. 자생 약용식물 및 식용작물에 대한 50% EtOH 추출물을 이용하여 TBA법. DPPH법에 의하여 1차 활성검정 결과 처리방법에 따라 활성값에 차이가 있으나 TBA법에서는 검정콩의 추출액이 87.3%, DPPH법에서는 까마중 추출액이 80.6%로서 가장 높은 활성을 보였고 두가지 방법에서 동시에 활성이 높은 것은 검정콩을 비롯하여 10종 이었다. SOD활성정도도 검정식물에 따라 큰 차이가 있으나 검정콩이 53.5%로서 가장 높은 SOD활성을 나타내었으며 SOD종류는 Cu/ZnSOD, FeSOD을 포함하는 것으로 나타났다. Cu/ZnSOD만을 함유하고 있는 잔대는 SOD활성 정도가 10.37%로서 실험 대상식물 중 가장 낮은 활성을 보였다.

Oat, the seeds of Avena sativa L. (Gramineae), is an important dietary staple for people in many countries. Previous studies reported that A. sativa had various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor, neurotonic, and antispasmodic activities. In this study, Caenorhabditis elegans model system was used to investigate the antioxidant activity of methanol extract of oat. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the oat methanol extract showed the best DPPH radical scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate fraction was measured for the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance by using C. elegans along with reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. In addition, to confirm that the regulation of the stress response gene is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of C. elegans treated by the ethyl acetate fraction, SOD-3 expression was measured using GFP-expressing transgenic worm. As a result, the ethyl acetate fraction increased SOD and catalase activities, and decreased ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the ethyl acetate fraction-treated CF1553 worm showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity compared to the control.

Breast cancer is the first of the most common ten cancers in Iraq. Its etiology is multifactorial, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation being suggested to play important roles in carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the oxidant-antioxidant status in breast cancer patients, by measuring SOD isoenzyme activities (total SOD, CuZn-SOD, Mn-SOD and EC-SOD) in plasma and breast tumors, and by estimating thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBRS) in tissue homogenates. General increase in total SOD activity was observed in plasma and tissue samples of breast tumors, greater in the malignant when compared to benign group (p<0.05). Mn-SOD showed a significant decrease in tissue malignant samples (p<0.05), and insignificant decrease in plasma malignant samples compared with control and benign samples. Plasma EC-SOD activity in both patient benign and malignant breast tumors demonstrated 3.5% and 22.8% increase, respectively. However, there was a decrease in tissue EC-SOD activity in malignant breast tumors when compared with benign. A similar tendency was noted for TBRS. We suggest that elevated total SOD might reflect a response to oxidative stress, and then may predict a state of excess reactive oxygen species in the carcinogenesis process. If there is proteolytic removal of the heparin binding domain, EC-SOD will lose its affinity for the extracellular matrix and diffuse out of the tissue. This will result in a decreased EC-SOD activity, thus leading to an increase in the steady-state concentration of $O^{2-}$ in this domain, and increase in EC-SOD activity in the extracellular fluid. This might explain the results recorded here concerning the decrease in tissue EC-SOD activity and increase in plasma of breast cancer patients.

본 연구의 목적은 자하거약침액의 항산화기능에 관련한 생리활성을 보기 위하여 대한약침학회에서 제공받은 자하거 약침액을 시료로 사용하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 자하거 약침액 원액에서 24.641 mg/L로 이는 산수유 등과 같은 약용식물과 비슷한 수준의 함량이다. 자하거약침액원액에서 DPPH radical 소거능과 Superoxide dismutase(SOD) 유사활성 측정은 각각 49.4%, 50.87%였다. 또한 ABTS radical 소거능과 Nitrite radical 소거능(pH1.5)에서는 각각 50.01%, 52.8%로 ABTS radical과 Nitrite radical 소거능이 우수하였다. 본 실험결과로볼 때, 자하거 약침액은 항산화능력은 뛰어난 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 현재 자하거 약침액과 관련된 실험이 부족한 실정이기 때문에 앞으로 이에 관련된 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

양파와 마늘이 산화적 DNA 손상에 미치는 영향을 시험관내에서 $Cu^{2+}$와 phenanthroline에 의해 유리된 TBA반응물을 측정하여 관찰한 결과 양파가 마늘보다 더 강한 TBA반응물 억제효과를 나타냈으며, 양파의 효과는 시료를 가열하여도 변화가 적엇다. 항산화효소인 SOD활성은 마늘에서, catalase와 glutathione peroxidase 활성도는 양파에서 더 높았고, -SH 기는 마늘에서 더 많았다. $Cu^{2+}$와 phenanthroline에 의한 산화적 DNA 손상에 대해 SOD와 catalase는 영향이 적고, glutathione은 영향이 비교적 큰것으로 나타나 양파의 마늘보다 더 큰 DNA손상 억제효과는 항산화 효소나, -SH 기에 의한것이 아니며, 특히 양파에 열을 가해도 DNA손상 억제 효과의 감소가 적은점으로 보아 비교적 고온에서 안정된 물질이 $Cu^{2+}$와 phenanthroline에 의한 DNA손상 억제효과를 나타내는 것으로 사료된다.

I evaluated the protective effect of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)/glycine receptor antagonist, 7-chlorokinurenic acid (CKA) on cultured mouse astrocytes damaged by ischemia-like condition (ILC). The protective effect of CKA was assessed by cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and lipid peroxidation. To examine the effect of CKA on the cell apoptosis, the expression and the activity of caspase 3 were assessed by Western blotting. CKA increased the cell viability decreased by ILC. CKA also decreased the LDH activity and antioxidative effects such as SOD-like activity and inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation. In addition, CKA suppressed the expression of caspase 3 associated with apoptosis, and increased the cell viability by the decrease of caspase 3 activity as like the caspase 3 inhibitor, Av-DVED-MED. From these results, these results suggest that ILS induces cell cytotoxicity in cultured astrocytes and CKA, NMDA/glycine receptor antagonist, is effective on the prevention of the cytotoxicity due to ILS by the antioxidative effect and the inhibition of apoptosis.
