Chemokine and Growth Factor are major mediumtors of immuno-inflammatory pathway. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether productions of Chemokine and Growth Factor in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells are modulated by Gallic acid (GA), which is easily founded in tannin-containing natural materials such as red wine, green tea, grape juice, and Corni Fructus. Productions of Chemokine and Growth Factor were analyzed by High-throughput Multiplex Bead based Assay with Bio-plex Suspension Array System based on $xMAP^{(R)}$ (multi-analyte profiling beads) technology. At first, cell culture supernatant was obtained after treatment with LPS and GA for 24 hour. Then, the antibody-conjugated beads were added and incubated for 30 minutes. After incubation, detection antibody was added and incubated for 30 minutes. And Strepavidin-conjugated Phycoerythrin (SAPE) was added. After incubation for 30 minutes, the level of SAPE fluorescence was analyzed on Bio-plex Suspension Array System. Based on fluorescence intensity, concentrations of Chemokine and Growth Factor were determined. The results of the experiment are as follows. GA significantly inhibited the production of interferon-inducible protein (IP)-10, keratinocyte-derived chemokine(KC), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells at the concentration of 25, 50, 100, 200 uM (p<0.05). GA significantly inhibited the production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and macrophage-colony stimulating factor(M-CSF) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells at the concentration of 50, 100, 200 uM (p<0.05). GA diminished the production of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. But GA did not show the inhibitory effect on the production of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIP) and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. These results suggest that GA has the immuno-modulating activity related with its inhibitory effects on the production of IP-10, KC, MCP-1, VEGF, and M-CSF in LPS-induced macrophages.

현재 우리나라에서 시판되고 있는 대부분의 양조간장은 일본의 $koji$ 방식으로 제조되고 있는 반면, 재래식 조선간장은 자연적으로 미생물이 접종 및 발효된 메주를 이용하여 제조되고 있다. 본 연구는 일본식으로 만들어진 양조간장과 우리나라 전통방식으로 만들어진 재래식 조선간장으로부터 얻어진 다당의 특성과 면역증진활성을 비교하였다. 조선간장 유래 다당인 KTSP-0는 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-$manno$-2-octulosonic acid(KDO)(1.1%)의 구조를 가지는 rhamnogalacturonan II(RG-II)가 있음을 확인하였다. 양조간장 유래 다당 CSP-0와 KTSP-0의 보체계 활성화능을 측정한 결과 두 시료 모두 농도의존적으로 증가하는 보체계 활성을 가지고 있었으나, $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 KTSP-0는 64.7%, CSP-0는 56%의 활성을 나타내었다. C3의 보체계 활성 경로를 확인하기 위해 2차원 면역전기영동을 행하였다. 그 결과, CSP-0는 고전경로로만 보체계를 활성화 시키는 반면, KTSP-0는 고전경로와 부경로 모두를 통해 보체계를 활성화 시키는 것으로 나타났다. CSP-0와 KTSP-0는 비장 유래세포와 macrophage에 대한 세포독성이 없음이 확인되었으며, KTSP-0는 활성화된 복강유래 macrophage에서 IL-6는 $8-1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 비교적 넓은 범위에서, IL-12는 $40{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 cytokine의 분비를 증가시켰다. 본 연구를 통해 양조간장보다 조선간장이 보체계 활성화를 통해 높은 면역 증강 효과를 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Tuna cooking juice concentrate (TCJC) is by-produced during the canning processing of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis and it is well known that TCJC contains various nutritional components. Therefore, the immuno-stimulating activity of TCJC was investigated using macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line and the spleen cell isolated from BALB/c mice. The TCJC increased the production of IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-$1{\beta}$ in a dose-dependent manner compared to the control in RAW 264.7 cells without any toxicity. In particular, the production of TNF-${\alpha}$ was increased over 300-fold. The production of both Th1 cytokine (such as IFN-${\gamma}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-2, and IL-12) and Th2 cytokine (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) was also increased by TCJC treatment in splenocytes. Moreover, the TCJC increased the splenocyte proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner compared to control. These results indicate that TCJC may enhance immune function by promoting various cytokine production.

잎새버섯의 자실체로부터 메탄올, 중성염용액 및 열수를 이용하여 조다당류를 추출하고 ICR mouse에 주사하여 항암 및 면역증강 효과를 조사하였다. 잎새버섯 조다당류의 Sarcoma 180 및 RAW 264.7에 대해 세포독성을 조사한 결과 10~2000 ${\mu}g/ml$의 조다당류 농도에서 각각의 세포는 독성을 나타내지 않았고, HT-29 및 NIH3T3 세포의 경우에는 중성염용액으로 추출한 조다당류 10~1000 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 독성을 보이지 않았으나 2000 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 약한 독성을 나타내었다. Sarcoma 180으로 접종된 ICR mouse에 잎새버섯의 자실체에서 추출한 각각의 조다당류를 투여한 실험군은 조다당류를 투여하지 않은 대조군에 비해 평균수명이 각각 25.0~52.9% 연장되었다. 열수로 추출한 조다당류를 200 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도를 처리한 비장세포 수는 대조군에 비하여 1.3배 증가하였으며, 200 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 중성염추출 조다당류를 투여한 실험군 생쥐 B 임파구의 alkaline phosphatase 활성은 대조군에 비해 약 1.5배 증가하였다. 대식세포 RAW 264.7에 의해 발생된 nitric oxide(NO)의 농도는 대조군이 4.3 ${\mu}M$인 것에 비해 중성염 추출 조다당류를 50~500 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 처리한 실험군의 대식세포는 10~14 ${\mu}M$의 nitric oxide를 발생시켰다. 메탄올, 중성염용액 및 열수로 추출한 조다당류로 처리한 비장세포는 모든 농도에서 대조군에 비해 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-2, IL-6 등의 사이토카인 분비량이 1.4배 이상 높았다. 메탄올 추출 조다당류를 50 mg/kg body weight의 농도로 투여한 실험군의 총 복강세포의 수와 백혈구의 수는 대조군에 비하여 각각 3.0배, 2.0배 증가하였다. 따라서 잎새버섯의 자실체에서 추출한 조다당류는 생쥐의 면역을 증강시키고 Sarcoma 180에 대한 항암효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
