The antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities of ovotransferrin were investigated in vitro. The antioxidant capacity of ovotransferrin was evaluated using the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method, antimicrobial effects using the agar well diffusion method, and cytotoxicity using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthizol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylatetetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The DPPH radical-scavenging capacity of ovotransferrin at 1 mg/mL level reached approximately 60% after 48 h of reaction. The antimicrobial effects of ovotransferrin against common food-borne pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 32395, Bacillus cereus KCCM 40935, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313, Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43895, and Helicobacter pylori HpKCTC 26695 were dose dependant. Gram-positive bacteria was more sensitive to ovotransferrin than gram-negative bacteria. Ovotransferrin showed stronger antimicrobial effect against L. monocytogenes than other gram-positive bacteria tested. The cytotoxicity of ovotransferrin was evaluated in human cancer cell lines, various tissue origins, including the larynx (Hep-2), stomach (AGS), lung (SK-MES-1), liver (HepG2), breast (MCF-7), cervix (HeLa), and colon (HT-29). Ovotransferrin displayed relatively high cytotoxicity (${\leq}60%$ inhibition effects) at 40 mg/mL. At lower concentrations (${\leq}10mg/mL$), however, ovotransferrin cytotoxic effects were not significant in all cancer cell lines tested. These results indicated that ovotransferrin has potential to be used as an antioxidant or antimicrobial agent in foods or a pharmaceutical agent against cancers.

Currently, many available anti-cancer therapies are targeting apoptosis. However, many cancer cells have acquired resistance to apoptosis. To overcome this problem, simultaneous induction of other types of programmed cell death in addition to apoptosis of cancer cells might be an attractive strategy. For this purpose, we initially investigated the inhibitory role of TRIP-Br1/XIAP in necroptosis, a regulated form of necrosis, under nutrient/serum starvation. Our data showed that necroptosis was significantly induced in all tested 9 different types of cancer cell lines in response to prolonged serum starvation. Among them, necroptosis was induced at a relatively lower level in MCF-7 breast cancer line that was highly resistant to apoptosis than that in other cancer cell lines. Interestingly, TRIP-Br1 oncogenic protein level was found to be very high in this cell line. Up-regulated TRIP-Br1 suppressed necroptosis by repressing reactive oxygen species generation. Such suppression of necroptosis was greatly enhanced by XIAP, a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. Our data also showed that TRIP-Br1 increased XIAP phosphorylation at serine87, an active form of XIAP. Our mitochondrial fractionation data revealed that TRIP-Br1 protein level was greatly increased in the mitochondria upon serum starvation. It suppressed the export of CypD, a vital regulator in mitochondria-mediated necroptosis, from mitochondria to cytosol. TRIP-Br1 also suppressed shikonin-mediated necroptosis, but not TNF-α-mediated necroptosis, implying possible presence of another signaling pathway in necroptosis. Taken together, our results suggest that TRIP-Br1/XIAP can function as onco-proteins by suppressing necroptosis of cancer cells under nutrient/serum starvation.

Ten compounds (1 - 10), palmitic acid (1), 10-nonacosanol (2), pentacosan-1-ol (3), phytol (4), ${\beta}$-sitosterol (5), ${\beta}$-sitosterol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6), 2,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid (7), hyperoside (8), uridine (9) and adenosine (10), were isolated from the n-hexane and EtOAc-soluble fractions of the aerial parts of A. dioicus var. kamtschaticus (Rosaceae). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. All compounds (1 - 10) were isolated for the first time from this plant. Cytotoxicity of 1 - 10 against Jurkat T (T-lymphocytic leukemia cells), HeLa (Human cervical epitheloid carcinoma cells), MCF-7 (Human breast cancer cells), and HL-60 (Human promyelocytic leukemia cells) cell lines was measured. Compound 6 showed good cytotoxicity against HL-60 cell line with $IC_{50}$ value of 8.13 ${\mu}g/mL$.

In this study, we first prepared 3 kinds of powders with different molecular masses from the crude protein-bound polysaccharide extract of Agraricus blazei Murill through ultrafiltration, followed by spray-drying. Then, the antitumor activities of the powders were analyzed. Size exclusion chromatography coupled with a multi-angle laser-light-scattering system showed the 3 powders had the following molecular ranges: below 10 kDa (SD-1), 10 to 150 kDa (SD-2), and above 150 kDa (SD-3), representing peak molecular weights of $8.26{\times}10^3,\;9.65{\times}10^4$, and $5.94{\times}10^6\;g/mol$, respectively. All the powders stimulated macrophage RAW264.7 cells to produce nitric oxide, of which SD-2 and SD-3 were superior to the crude extract powder (CP-SD), while SD-1 showed the lowest activity. Similar results were found for their cytotoxicities against human cancer cell lines (A549, MCF-7, and AGS), where the highest activity was obtained with the SD-2 treatment for 72 hr at $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$. The MCF-7 cell line was less sensitive to the powders than the other cells. From this research we found that ultrafiltration, in combination with spray-drying, is applicable for preparing protein-bound polysaccharide powders with higher antitumor activities.

A new series of carbazole based 2,4-disubstituted thiazole derivatives were synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against three different cancer cell lines A549, MCF-7, and HT29. Some of these compounds showed good cytotoxicity. These compounds were also evaluated for antioxidant activity. Compounds 3a, 3b, 3d-f and 3i showed higher antioxidant activity than standard BHT.

Total phenol, total flavonoid, reducing powder, electron donating activity, ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity, antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities of olive leaf extracts were investigated. The contents of total phenol and flavonoid were 257.48 and 92.33 mg in 100 g of olive leaf extract, respectively. The reducing power of the olive leaf extract increased with concentration increasing. Electron donating activity was high in 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ treated olive leaf extract as 95.20%. The ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity of the olive leaf extract was 68.93 mg/g olive leaf extract. The olive leaf extracts showed relatively high antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All of the cancer cell lines including MKN45, HCT116, NCI-H460, and MCF7 have 70-81% as effective growth inhibition.

노화억제, 항균, cholesterol 저하작용 등 다양한 생리활성을 가지고, 기관지염, 천식 등 호흡기 질환에도 옛부터 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있으며 식품으로 애용되고 있는 적채를 metanol (BOM)로 먼저 추출하고 이를 hexane 분획물(BOMH), ethyl ether 분획물(BOMEE), ethyl acetate 분획물(BOMEA), butanol 분획물(BOMB) 및 물 분획물(BOMA) 등 다섯가지의 각 용매별로 분획하여 적채의 항균, 암세포 증식 억제 및 QR유도 효과를 연구하였다. 먼저 적채의 각 분획물을 Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli. Pseudomonas aeruginosa 및 Aspergil-lus oryzae의 5가지 균주에 첨가시료농도를 증가시키면서 첨가하였다. 즉, 각 분획 별 시료를 500, 1000, 1500 및 2000 $\mu{g}$/ml의 농도로 사용균주에 각각 처리하였을때 BOMEA에서 비교적 높은 항균 활성 효과를 나타내었고, 그 다음으로는 BOMEE이었다. 적채의 암세포 증식억제 효과(cytotoxicity)를 MTT assay 로 실험한 결과, 3종의 암세포주 HepG2, HeLa 및 MCF-7은 모두 BOMEE에서 높은 암세포 증식억제 효과를 보였으며, HepG2 세포주를 이용한 암예방 QR 유도 활성은 다른 분획층에 비해 비극성 용매층인 BOMH과 BOMEE에서 유의적으로 QR유도 활성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 기초로 독특한 보라색을 띄며 식탁에서 널리 애용되고 있는 자주색 대표식품인 적채의 항균 및 암세포 성장저지 및 QR 유도 효과를 일으키는 생리활성 물질의 존재와 기전 규명에 유익한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
