  • We collected the ascomata of Tuber species from the rhizosphere of Quercus dentata in Danyang, Korea. We observed the morphological characteristics of ectomycorrhizal roots and ascomata, and identified the species based on the results of the phylogenetic analysis conducted using the DNA sequences of an internal transcribed spacer, a large-subunit rDNA, translation elongation factor 1-α DNA (TEF1), and MAT. Finally, we identified the fungal species as Tuber himalayense B.C. Zhang & Minter, which has not been recorded previously in Korea. We evaluated the morphological characteristics and conducted phylogenetic analysis of the ascoma and mycorrhiza (associated with Q. dentata) of T. himalayense.

  • Fungi of the genus Tuber are ectomycorrhizal fungi that form a symbiotic relationship mainly with oak and hazel trees. Tuber spp. exhibit a highly selective host plant preference; thus, for cultivation purposes it is important to select an appropriate host plant for successful mycorrhization. In addition, as mycorrhizal characteristics differ according to Tuber spp., it is necessary to understand the differences in mycorrhizae according to the fungal species. Tuber huidongense and Tuber himalayense were recently discovered in Korea; therefore, we used spore suspensions from these two species to inoculate two species of oak trees, Quercus acutissima and Quercus dentata, to compare colonization rates and morphologies of the mycorrhizae. The colonization rates demonstrated that the different Tuber spp. favored different host plant species. In addition, unique morphological and anatomical characteristics were observed for T. huidongense and T. himalayense depending on the host species. These findings can lead to new economically important agricultural activities related to truffle cultivation in Korea.

  • 본 연구는 국내 참나무 생육지에서 채집된 송로버섯의 일종인 T. himalayense 자실체 추출물(TH)의 항염증 활성을 확인하였다. LPS로 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포를 대상으로 한 염증 억제 실험에서 TH는 100 ㎍/ml 이하의 농도에서 세포독성을 보이지 않았으며 LPS에 의해 증가된 NO와 PGE2의 생성을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. Western blot 분석 결과로 볼 때, TH의 항염증 활성은 iNOS와 COX-2 유전자의 발현억제에 의해 NO와 PGE2의 생성이 감소된 것으로부터 유발된 것임을 입증한다. 또한, TH가 대식세포에 의해 생산 및 분비되는 cytokine IL-1β와 IL-6의 생성을 효과적으로 저해함을 확인하였다. T. himalayense는 다양한 염증 매개체들의 과발현을 효과적으로 억제하며, 이를 표적으로 하는 항염증 관련 식품 및 의약품에 다양하게 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 추후 염증 예방 물질로 적용 될 수 있는 가능성을 높이기 위하여 염증성 작용 기전에 대한 자세한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
