We have previously shown that 2, 3', 4, 5' -tetramethoxystilbene(TMS) from synthetic trans-stilbene analogues, is one of the most potently selective inhibitor of recombinant human cytochrome P450 1B1 in vitro. In the present studies. the effects of TMS on the expression of cytochrome P450 1B1 were investigated in human cancer cell lines such as MCF-7 and HL -60. TCDD-stimulated P450 1B1 protein and mRNA expression was significantly suppressed by TMS in a dose-dependent manner. (omitted)

Basidiomycete, Agaricus blazei murill has grown Brazil naturally. It was first cultivated 1997 in Korea. Proteoglycan or polysaccharide which have the effect of immunopotency and anticancer were extracted from it. From the mycelium of cultivated mushroom, were extracted lectin, linoleic acid, FIII-2-b, and simmilar to glucomannan from fruit body of Basidiomycete Agaricus blazei. Fruit body was more studied than mycelium. The experiments were most in vivo study. The effect were shown on S-180, MethA tumor, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, Shionogi carcinoma 42, Meth A fibrosarcoma by transferation of tumor cell line, specially effectiveness on the S-180. About immunopotenciation, were shown as activation of NK cell, pancreatic T-cell, helper T cell, enhancement of population of cytotoxity T cell. It was effect on the MethA tumor cells in vitro cell cytotoxity and has induction of apoptosis. Forthermore cytotoxity of many other tumor cell line, aneiognensis, cell cyle studies will be needed.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and has a high recurrence rate, which is associated with cancer stem cells (CSCs). β-carotene (BC) possesses antioxidant activity and several anticancer mechanisms. However, no investigation has examined its effect on colon cancer stemness. MATERIALS/METHODS: CD133⁺CD44⁺ HCT116 and CD133⁺CD44⁺ HT-29 cells were isolated and analyzed their self-renewal capacity by clonogenic and sphere formation assays. Expressions of several CSCs markers and Wnt/β-catenin signaling were examined. In addition, CD133⁺CD44⁺ HCT116 cells were subcutaneously injected in xenograft mice and analyzed the effect of BC on tumor formation, tumor volume, and CSCs markers in tumors. RESULTS: BC inhibited self-renewal capacity and CSC markers, including CD44, CD133, ALDH1A1, NOTCH1, Sox2, and β-catenin in vitro. The effects of BC on CSC markers were confirmed in primary cells isolated from human CRC tumors. BC supplementation decreased the number and size of tumors and delayed the tumor-onset time in xenograft mice injected with CD133⁺CD44⁺ HCT116 cells. The inhibitory effect of BC on CSC markers and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in tumors was confirmed in vivo as well. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that BC may be a potential therapeutic agent for colon cancer by targeting colon CSCs.

Flavonoids, a group of low molecular weight phenylbenzopyrones, have various pharmacological properties including antioxidant, anticancer, bactericidal, and anti-inflammatory. We carried out anti-herpetic assays on 18 flavonoids in five classes and a virus-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibitory assay, plaque reduction assay, and yield reduction assay were performed. When flavonoids were applied at various concentrations to Vero cells infected by HSV-1 and 2, most of the f1avonoids showed inhibitory effects on virus-induced CPE. Among the flavonoids, EC, ECG (flavanols), genistein (isoflavone), naringenin (flavanone), and quercetin (flavonol) showed a high level of CPE inhibitory activity. The antiviral activity of flavonoids were also examined by a plaque reduction assay. EC, ECG, galangin, and kaempferol showed a strong antiviral activity, and catechin, EGC, EGCG, naringenin, chrysin, baicalin, fisetin, myricetin, quercetin, and genistein showed moderate inhibitory effects against HSV-1. In these experiments, flavanols and flavonols appeared to be more active than flavones. Furthermore, treatment of Vero cells with ECG and galangin (which previously showed strong antiviral activities) before virus adsorption led to a slight enhancement of inhibition as determined by a yield reduction assay, indicating that an intracellular effect may also be involved.

본 연구는 식용버섯들의 면역조절기능제로서의 가치 여부를 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구를 위해 민자주방망이버섯, 먹물버섯, 표고버섯, 새송이버섯이 사용되었다. 버섯을 투여한 생쥐의 혈장 내 IgG1, IgG2a 수준을 측정하였고, 비장 단일 세포군을 이용하여 T 림프구 및 B 림프구 in vitro 활성화 결과 생성된 IFN-${\gamma}$와 IL-4, IgG1과 IgG2a 수준을 각각 분석하였다. 실험 결과 표고버섯 1 mg/체중 kg을 투여한 군에서 IFN${\gamma}$/IL-4의 비가 다른 군에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 또한 혈장 내 IgG2a/IgG1의 비가 표고버섯의 경우에 다른 군보다 높았다. 아울러 TNF${\alpha}$의 생성 역시 표고버섯 1 mg/체중 kg을 투여한 군에서 다른 군보다 높았다. 이는 표고버섯이 항암작용, 항바이러스 작용과 같은 type-1 반응을 촉진할 가능성이 있음을 예측케 해주는 결과라 생각된다.

본 연구는 인삼의 가공방법을 개발하고 제품을 다양화하기 위해 우리나라의 전통주인 탁주로 인삼을 증자한 후 홍삼의 항산화성 및 아질산염 소거능, 항암효과를 비교 연구하였다. $A1\~~A9$시료의 $60\%$ 에탄올 추출물에서의 DPPH 라디칼 소거효과는 1,000 ppm에서 인삼의 증자 횟수와 비례하여 증가하였고, 특히 A3에서 $79.5{\pm}3.3\%$로 라디칼 소거율이 뚜렷하게 증가함을 보였다. 아질산염 소거능은 pH 1.2에서 W.G는 $25.9{\pm}4.4\%$, R.G는 $12.9{\pm}1.1\%$, $A1\~A9$는 $26.2{\pm}0.1\~56.1{\pm}0.5\%$로 증자 횟수가 증가할수록 높은 아질산염 소거능을 나타냈다. 인체유래 간암세포(Hep3B)에서의 항암효과로 실험에서 W.G는 에탄올 추출물 5,000 ppm으로 처리했을 때, $19.6{\pm}4.5\%$로 나타나 증식 억제율이 미미하였으나, R.G는 에탄을 추출물 5,000 ppm으로 처리했을 때 $54.5{\pm}6.1\%$를 나타냈으며, A9에서는 $96.3{\pm}2.4\%$로 높은 항암효과 가 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 탁주를 이용한 증자홍삼이 일반 홍삼 및 백삼보다 본 실험의 항산화 및 항암 system(in vitro)을 이용하여 실험한 결과 더 높은 항암 및 항산화 효과를 나타내었다.

유자의 생리활성 식품 소재로서 검토하기 위해 비타민 C가 첨가된 유자 추출물의 항산화 효과와 암세포 억제활성에 대한 상승효과를 측정하였다. 과육과 과피의 추출물 중에 총 페놀 함량은 각각 건물당 $97.87{\mu}g/mg$와 $121.17{\mu}g/mg$으로서 과피가 과육보다 약 1.24배 높았으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 건물당 $0.28{\mu}g/mg$와 $0.59{\mu}g/mg$로서 과피가 과육보다 2.11배 높았다. 전자공여능은 유자 과피의 추출물은 유자 과육의 추출물보다 약간 높았으며, 이들 추출물은 그 자체에 비하여 각각 추출물에 비타민 C를 첨가할 경우가 상승효과는 더 크게 나타났는데, 특히 저농도($30{\mu}g/mL$) 시료보다는 고농도($300{\mu}g/mL$)에서 전자공여능이 크게 증가하였다. 항산화능은 과피 추출물 $1,000{\mu}g$에 비타민 C $500{\mu}g$를 혼합한 경우의 비타민 C $500{\mu}g$ 단독만을 첨가한 경우보다 각각 20분 반응에서 2.6배, 40분 1.5배, 60분에는 1.2배가 높았다. 환원능은 유자 과피 추출물의 $30{\mu}g/mL$와 $50{\mu}g/mL$ 저 농도에서 고농도에서와 비슷하게 아주 높게 나타났다. 유자 과피 및 과육의 추출물로 처리한 간암 세포주에서 다른 암 세포주에 비하여 비교적 항암활성이 높게 나타났으며, $100{\mu}g/mL$에서는 각각 63.8%와 73%를 나타내었다. 유방암 세포주는 모든 시험농도에서 유자 과피의 추출물이 과육 추출물보다 항암활성이 모두 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 유자 추출물의 항산화 및 항암활성 은 함유되어 있는 페놀과 플라보노이드 성분에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

산천어 70% 에탄올 추출물(MSE)이 암세포 성장억제와 Balb/c 마우스에서의 종양 성장 억제에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 인간 자궁암(HeLa), 간암(HepG2), 유방암(MCF-7), 위암(AGS), 폐암(A549) 세포 그리고 인간신장 정상세포 (293)에 MSE을 처리했을 때 세포생존율이 감소하였고 이들 감소율을 MTT assay로 알아보았다. MSE는 정상세포 293에서보다 인간 암세포주인 MCF-7, A549, HepG2, AGS 그리고 HeLa세포에서 현저하게 더 높은 세포독성이 나타났다. 시료 최고농도인 1 mg/mL를 인간 폐암세포(A549), 유방암세포(MCF-7), 간암세포(HepG2) 및 위암세포(AGS)에 처리한 결과 각각 9.2%, 12.7%, 14.6% 및 16.9%의 세포 생존율을 나타내었다. 더하여 복수암 세포(sarcoma-180)를 이용한 실험동물(Balb/c mice)에서의 고형암 성장 억제 효과를 알아보았으며, 각각 25 mg/kg body weight와 250 mg/kg body weight의 MSE를 투여하였을 때 종양 성장 억제율은 각각 44.7%와 55.7%였다. 따라서 우리는 MSE가 암 예방을 위해 인간에게 유익한 기능성 소재일 것이라는 것을 제안하였다.

Santalum album Linn. [Family: Santalaceae] is commonly known as white sandalwood, sandal safaid and safed chandan. It is one of the most valuable trees and second costliest wood in the world. Sandalwood and its oil is extensively used in the Unani and other traditional systems of medicine as it has blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, exhilarant, cardiotonic, antiseptic, nervine tonic and expectorant properties. It is used in skin, cardiac, liver, gastrointestinal, respiratory, integument and urogenital disorders. These uses are supported and proven by many in vitro or in vivo studies. The proven pharmacological activities of S. album are antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic and anti-fatigue. The research has proven that sandal oil or its constituents have anti-microbial activity. Sandalwood oil showed skin cancer preventive effect in mice and its constituent alpha santalol showed the anticancer property. The methanolic extract of wood was confirmed for antioxidant, free radical scavenging, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ santalols present in sandal oil showed sedative effects. Sandalwood tea had a significant effect on heart muscles of frog and showed increased myocardial contractility. Its oil showed significant changes in hepatic xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Sandalwood oil and its major constituents showed less acute oral and dermal toxicity in laboratory animals. Hence, the aforementioned studies justify the uses of sandalwood and its oil mentioned in the classical Unani literature. However, further clinical trials are suggested to confirm its efficacy and safety in humans.
