B. amyloliquefaciens IUB158-03균주에서 정제된 항진균물질은 극성인 용매에 잘 용해되고, pH 6.0~10.0와 $-70{\sim}121^{\circ}C$에서와 같이 넓은 범위의 온도 및 pH에서 안정성을 보였다. 항진균물질의 FAB-MS, UV 흡수 스펙트럼, 아미노산 조성 등을 분석한 결과 분자량은 1,042 이었고, TLC를 이용하여 분석한 결과 ninhydrin solution에서 보라색으로 발색되었다. UV 스펙트럼은 220 nm, 277 nm에서 ${\lambda}max$를 보였으며, $Asn_3$, $Gln_2$, $Ser_1$ $Gly_1$, $Tyr_1$의 아미노산 조성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 $^1H$-NMR spectrum, $^1H$-COSY, HMQC 을 분석한 결과 iturin A계에 속하는 물질로 확인되었다. NIH3T3 섬유아세포에 대해 항진균물질이 세포독성을 나타내지 않는 것은 물론 마우스에 항진균물질을 경구투여하여 장기 내의 변화와 백혈구 수, 생체내의 생리적인 기능면에서 정상 마우스와 차이를 보이지 않았으므로 생체독성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 B. amyloliquefaciens IUB158-03에서 분리된 항진균물질이 앞으로 고추탄저병의 생물적 방제제로 이용될 수 있는 잠재성을 갖고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Pirarubicin (THP) is an anthracycline antibiotic used to treat various malignancies in humans. The clinical usefulness of THP is unfortunately limited by its dose-related cardiotoxicity. Ginsenoside F1 (GF1) is a metabolite formed when the ginsenosides Re and Rg1 are hydrolyzed. However, the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of GF1 on THP-induced cardiotoxicity remain unclear. Methods: We investigated the anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative stress effects of GF1 on an in vitro model, using H9c2 cells stimulated by THP, plus trigonelline or AKT inhibitor imidazoquinoxaline (IMQ), as well as an in vivo model using THP-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase (CK-MB), cardiac troponin (c-TnT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) were determined. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived2)-like 2 (Nrf2) and the expression of Nrf2 target genes, including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione-S-transferase (Gst), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), and expression levels of AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathway proteins were detected using Western blot analysis. Results: THP-induced myocardial histopathological damage, electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, and cardiac dysfunction were reduced in vivo by GF1. GF1 also decreased MDA, BNP, CK-MB, c-TnT, and LDH levels in the serum, while raising SOD and GSH levels. GF1 boosted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and Nrf2 target gene expression, including HO-1, Gst, and GCLM. Furthermore, GF1 regulated apoptosis by activating AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathways. Employing Nrf2 inhibitor trigonelline and AKT inhibitor IMQ revealed that GF1 lacked antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects. Conclusion: In conclusion, GF1 was found to alleviate THP-induced cardiotoxicity via modulating Nrf2 and AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathways, ultimately alleviating myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis.
