Fruits of Arctium lappa L. (Compositae), which has been used as the antiinflammatory, detoxifying and diuretic agents in the folk remedies, was examined on the in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Several lines of evidence indicate that oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) may promote atherogenesis. Hence. The role of antioxidants in the prevention of LDL oxidation needs to be determined. The activity of fractions of Arctii Fructus treated with oxidized LDL which was incubated with $16\;{\mu}M$ of $Cu^{2+}$ for metal catalyzed oxidation was investigated. The BuOH fraction (4\;ppm) inhibited the oxidative modification of LDL as evidenced by a decrease in the lipid peroxide content (thiobarbituric acid reacting substances activity), the negative charge of LDL (electrophoretic mobility) and increase of the vitamine E content.

Acanthopanax species (Araliaceae) traditionally has been used as analgesics, stimulant of immune system, and replenishment of body functions. Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus is indigenous plant to Korea. The antioxidant activities of compounds from A divaricatus var. albeofructus were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) assay on human plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The triterpenoid and lignan constituents from this plant showed antioxidant activities and the lignan, l-sesamin exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity in Cu$^{2+}$ -induced LDL oxidation.n.

본 연구에서는 동맥경화의 원인으로 알려진 사람 low density lipoprotein (LDL)에 대한 garlic oil의 산화억제 효과에 대하여 실험하였다. Garlic oil을 HPLC로 분석한 결과 diallyl disulfide, diallyltrisulfide, diallyltetrasulfide and diallyl pentasulfide 등의 유황화합물이 많이 들어 있었다. 사람 LDL을 $Cu^{2+}$ 및 macrophages 유도 oxidized LDL로 산화시킬 때 garlic oil을 20~60${\mu}g$/mL 범위에서 첨가하며 실험하였을 때 용량 의존형으로 억제되었고, garlic oil을 60 ${\mu}g$/mL 첨가하였을 때 LDL의 산화가 거의 억제되었으며, 산화 LDL의 전기영동에 의한 이동거리도 60 ${\mu}g$/mL 농도에서 거의 억제되었다. 그리고 garlic oil은 동맥의 내피세포에서도 용량 의존형으로 억제효과를 나타내었다. 또한 garlic oil은 tocopherol, ascorbic acid 보다 약간 높은 억제효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에 따르면 garlic oil은 macrophage 및 내피세포에서 LDL의 항산화 효과가 있어 LDL의 산화 억제효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Human plasma low density lipoprotein(LDL) is the main carrier for cholesterol, and recent studies suggest the normal LDL can be readily oxidized by free radical and not interact with LDL receptor. Lipoprotein pariticles are consisted of lipid andprotein, and fatty acids of lipoproteins are prone to oxidation. LDL particles readily undergo oxidative modification by copper. From the results, oxidized LDL altered its biological properties. A marked increase in the electrophoretic mobility of LDl on agarose gel indicated that negative surface charge of the LDL particles was increased. Also, the results from the HPLC showed that oxidized LDL was degraded into several polypeptides nonenzymatically. Degradation tests which measured the amount of 5-IAF labelled oxidized LDL were carried out by monocyte and hepatocyte cell culture. Hepatocyte cell culture of modified LDL did not show consistent pattern. However, binding rate of modified LDL with HMDM(human monocyte derived macrophage) was enhanced with oxidation, but was retarded by addition of antioxidants(hyaluronic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E). Also comparisons of oxidized-LDL, acetyl-LDL and MDA-LDL showed significant differences in the chemical properteis and binding affinity to HMDM. Thus, modificaition of normal LDL altered its biological properties.

본 연구는 동맥 경화의 원인으로 알려진 사람 oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL)에 대한 geraniin의 산화 억제 효과에 대하여 실험하였다. 사람 LDL을 C $u^{2+}$유도 LDL로 산화 시킬 때 50와 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 농도의 geraniin를 첨가하여 TBARS을 측정한 결과 LDL에 대한 항산화가 높았으며 용량 의존형으로 나타났다. Geraniin를 20-100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 농도를 조절하여 전기 영동에 의한 이동상을 조사한 결과 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml geraniin의 농도에서 거의 완전한 억제 효과를 보였다. 사람 LDL에 C $u^{2+}$로 유도하여 LDL를 산화시킬때 conjugated diene를 보면 geraniin를 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 첨가하였을 때 억제 효과가 높았다. 또한 geraniin은 동맥의 내피세포에 서도 그 농도에 따라 억제효과를 나타내었다. 그리고 phorbol myristate acetate를 처리한 macrophage 유도활성 산소의 소거 효과는 geraniin의 농도가 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml일때 거의 소거하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 geraniin는 $\alpha$-tocopherol, ascorbir acid 및 합성 항산화제인 probucol과 거의 비슷한 항산화 활성이 있어 동맥 경화의 예방에 효과적이라는 결론을 얻었다.

본 연구는 녹차를 열수로 추출하여 LDL에 대한 항산화 활성을 연구한 결과이다. 녹차 1.25 g에 열수 500 ml를 가하여 추출한 후 다시 500 ml를 가하여 재추출하였으며 이를 증발, 건조한 결과 추출액의 건물량은 4.67 mg이었다. 녹차잎의 함량이 1.25%가 되도록 조절한 녹차에는 항산화 활성이 강한 polyphenol 화합물중 (-) epicatechin gallate 54.1%, (-) epicatechin gallate 26.2%, (-) epigallocatechin 10.7%, (-) epicatechin 이 7.0% 및 catechin이 1.8% 함유되었다. Low density lipoprotein (LDL)의 산화에 있어서 LDL은 $CuSO_4$ 존재하에서 macrophage와 배양시켰더니 빠르게 산화를 일으켰다. 그러나 $5\;{\mu}M\;CuSO_4$ 매개 LDL의 산화에 50 및 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 GTE를 넣어 배양하면 거의 완전히 산화를 억제하였다. $5\;{\mu}M\;CuSO_{4}$ 존재하에서 산화시킨 LDL의 전기영동 이동거리는 native LDL보다 높았다. 또 50 및 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 GTE는 J774, human monocyte derived macrophags 및 vascular endothelial cells에서 유도되는 LDL의 산화를 억제하였다. $CuSO_4$ 및 cell 유도에 의하여 산화되는 LDL은 native LDL보다 더욱 많은 양이 human macrophage에 의하여 분해되고 GTE는 macrophage에 의한 $^{125}I-LDL$의 산화를 강력히 억제하였다. 그리고 GTE는 cell 매개 LDL의 macrophage에 의한 축적 또는 분해를 억제하였다. LDL을 $5\;{\mu}M\;CuSO_4$, 존재하에서 산화시킬 때 GTE를 50 및$100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도로 넣어 배양하면 공액 dienes의 생성이 억제되고, 또한 Oxid LDL macrophage derived human monocytes에서도 축적이 억제되었다.

This study was designed to investigate the antioxidative activity of a substance isolated from. The antioxidative activity of procyanidine was higher than that of dl-tocopherol and BHA on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS). Procyanidine inhibited the copper-mediated oxidation of human LDL in a dose dependent manner with almost complete inhibition at $60{\mu}g/mL$. Procyanidine at a concentration of $80{\mu}g/mL$ in hibited oxidation of LDL induced by J774. LDL oxidized by copper-mediated or cell-induced oxidation was degraded at a much greater rate than native LDL. These results suggested the importance of further research to procyanidine in the investigation of atherosclerosis and free radical-induced injury.

갈근(Puerariae radix)을 MeOH 추출물에서 silica gel column chromatography를 이용하여 플라보노이드 화합물인 daidzin 및 puerarin를 분리하여 low density li-poprotein의 산화에 대하여 실험하였다. 이들 플라보노이드중 daidzin의 경우 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$에서 puerarin은 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도에서 5$\mu$M Cu$^{2+}$ 매개산화 LDL에 대하여 억제 효과가 좋았다. 이때 같은 농도의 diadzin과 puerarin를 첨가한 산화 LDL의 전기영동의 이동거리는 native LDL 보다는 약간 높았으나 oxidized LDL의 대조군 보다는 이동거리가 낮았다. 또 J774 및 macrophages 유도 산화 LDL에 있어서도 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ daidzin과 600$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ puerarin을 첨가 하였을 때 억제효과 나타났다. LDL을 5$\mu$M Cu$^{2+}$존재하에서 산화시킬 때 동일 농도의 daidzin과 puerarin 을 첨가하면 conjugated dienes의 생성이 거의 억제되었다.

Background: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) causes vascular endothelial cell inflammatory response and apoptosis and plays an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Ginsenoside compound K (CK), a metabolite produced by the hydrolysis of ginsenoside Rb1, possesses strong anti-inflammatory effects. However, whether or not CK protects ox-LDL-damaged endothelial cells and the potential mechanisms have not been elucidated. Methods: In our study, cell viability was tested using a 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl-)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Expression levels of interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. Mitochondrial membrane potential (${\Delta}{\Psi}m$) was detected using JC-1. The cell apoptotic percentage was measured by the Annexin V/ propidium iodide (PI) assay, lactate dehydrogenase, and caspase-3 expression. Apoptosis-related proteins, nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$, and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways protein expression were quantified by Western blotting. Results: Our results demonstrated that CK could ameliorate ox-LDL-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) inflammation and apoptosis, $NF-{\kappa}B$ nuclear translocation, and the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Moreover, anisomycin, an activator of p38 and JNK, significantly abolished the anti-apoptotic effects of CK. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that CK prevents ox-LDL-induced HUVECs inflammation and apoptosis through inhibiting the $NF-{\kappa}B$, p38, and JNK MAPK signaling pathways. Thus, CK is a candidate drug for atherosclerosis treatment.
