  • Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) is a destructive viral pathogen of pome fruit trees that causes significant losses to fruit production worldwide. Obtaining ASGV-free propagation materials is essential to reduce economic losses, and accurate and sensitive detection methods to screen ASGV-free plantlets during in vitro propagation are urgently necessary. In this study, ASGV was sensitively and accurately quantified from in vitro propagated apple plantlets using a reverse transcription droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (RT-ddPCR) assay. The optimized RT-ddPCR assay was specific to other apple viruses, and was at least 10-times more sensitive than RT-real-time quantitative PCR assay. Furthermore, the optimized RT-ddPCR assay was validated for the detection and quantification of ASGV using micropropagated apple plantlet samples. This RT-ddPCR assay can be utilized for the accurate quantitative detection of ASGV infection in ASGV-free certification programs, and can thus contribute to the production of ASGV-free apple trees.

  • 우리나라에서 많이 이용되고 있으며 항산화 활성이 높은 것으로 알려진 시판 100% 천연 과채류 주스 중 과일주스, 채소주스, 녹즙 및 채소혼합주스의 항산화 활성을 측정하여 비교하였다. 항산화 활성의 측정법으로는 DPPH, TEAC, ORAC 법 등 세 가지 in vitro 측정법과 comet assay를 이용한 ex vivo 분석법으로 과채류 주스의 항산화능을 비교 분석하였다. DPPH 분석법으로 항산화능을 측정한 결과 블루베리주스, 채소혼합주스 C, 케일 녹즙, 채소혼합주스 P, 포도주스 순으로 높았으며, TEAC 방법으로 측정한 주스 시료들의 항산화 활성은 블루베리주스, 채소혼합주스 C, 포도주스, 채소혼합주스 P, 케일 녹즙 순으로 높았다. 또한, ORAC으로 측정한 항산화 활성은 블루베리 주스, 케일 녹즙, 채소혼합주스 C, 포도주스, 오렌지주스 순으로 나타났다. 세 가지 in vitro 측정법에 따른 결과를 종합하였을 때 블루베리 주스가 항산화능이 가장 우수했으며 이어서 포도 주스, 채소혼합주스 C, 케일 녹즙 순으로 항산화 활성이 높았다. 인체의 임파구 DNA의 손상을 감소시키는 정도를 ex vivo 분석법인 comet assay로 분석한 결과 블루베리 주스와 포도 주스의 DNA 손상 감소 효과가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타난 반면, GSTM1/GSTT1 유전형에 따른 차이가 크지 않았다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 조사한 국내에서 시판하고 있는 100% 천연 주스 14종 가운데 페놀성 화합물과 플라보노이드가 풍부한 것으로 알려진 블루베리 주스, 포도 주스의 항산화 활성이 가장 높았으며 채소혼합주스로는 안토시아닌이 풍부한 보라색을 띄는 주스류의 항산화 활성도가 높은 것으로 조사되었다.

  • 건강한 삶에 대한 현대인의 관심이 나날이 고조되고 있으며, 이에 따라 노화와 질병의 예방에 효과가 있는 항산화제의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 특히 천연물이나 식품을 소재로 한 식이성 항산화제에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 천연물의 소재나 연구 분야의 폭이 매우 넓다. 따라서 다양한 식품 소재의 항산화능을 조사할 수 있는 측정법의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 현재 약용 식물이나 상용 채소, 과일을 시료로 하여 여러 가지 radical이나 target molecule에 대한 항산화능을 측정할 수 있는 다수의 생체외(in vitro) 측정법이 사용되고 있다. 이에 본 총설에서는 널리 사용되고 있는 항산화능 측정법의 특징을 분석하고 적용 사례를 검토하였다. 식품의 구성 성분은 단일물질이 아닌 복합체로 구성되어 있으므로 하나의 측정법으로 항산화능을 평가할 수가 없다. 그러므로 채소와 과일을 포함한 여러가지 식물성 식품 추출물의 항산화 활성을 정확히 측정하기 위해서는 각 실험에 사용되는 radical과 기전(mechanism), 실험 조건(온도, pH, 실험기기, 시료추출방법, 소요 시간, 비용) 등을 고려하여 적절히 수행되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 이들 측정법의 다양성과 사용 단위의 차이로 인해 각 시료의 항산화능을 객관적으로 비교하는데 어려움이 있는 실정이다. 따라서 향후 항산화능 측정법의 표준화와 표현 단위의 통일이 절실히 요구된다. 또한 in vitro에서 항산화능을 나타내는 채소, 과일 등의 생체 내 활성은 다양한 biomechanism과 polymerphism으로 인해 그 효과를 예측하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 in vitro에서의 항산화능 screening 결과를 바탕으로 in vivo에서의 그 효과를 검증하는 연구가 부가적으로 시행되어야 할 것이라 사료된다.

  • Crocin is one of the major components of gardenia fruit and saffron which are widely used as natural food colorants and as traditional Chinese medicines. However, the genotoxicity data on crocin are not sufficient for safety evaluation. The purpose of this study was the examination of the genotoxicity on crocin from gardenia yellow in bacterial and mammalian cells, using various genotoxic battery testing assays and the influence of crocin on methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and ${H_2}{O_2}$-induced DNA damage in vitro, using single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay. From results, no considerable mutagenicity and clastogenicity were seen in bacteria and mammalian cells treated with crocin, by Ames test, chromosomal aberration assay, ${tk}^{+/-}$ gene forward mutation assay and comet assay. And, post-treatment with crocin significantly suppressed ${H_2}{O_2}$-induced DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the findings of the present study and other previous observations indicate that crocin has no genotoxic potential. And it showed that crocin clearly repressed the genotoxic potency of ${H_2}{O_2}$. These results suggest that anti-oxidative effects of crocin may be involved in the protective effects of DNA damage.

  • Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in body which leads to death. These cells are born due to imbalance in cell proliferation mechanism. In 2018, WHO released new statistics on cancer incidence, mortality, and prevalence worldwide i.e., GLOBOCAN 2018 estimates for 28 types of cancer in which more prevalence of cervix and breast cancer. According to survey, in India about 7.8 million cancer deaths and 11.5 million new cases arise in 2018, which will increase to 19.3 million new cases per year by 2025. Though breast cancer as such is not explained anywhere in Ayurvedic compendia, correlations can be done with the Stana Arbuda. Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine came into existence 1000's of years ago with an objective of maintaining the health of people and treating diseases. Many herbs used in Ayurveda have been screened for activity against cancer and in-vitro and in-vivo studies have given promising leads. The plant, called as "Mother of Medicine", Haritaki has been extensively studied for its various ailments because of its extraordinary healing potency. Haritaki (Terminalia chebula Retz.), Family: Combretaceae have a great therapeutic value and is widely distributed in India. Dried fruit of Terminalia chebula contains high quantities phenolic compounds consist of ellagic acid, gallic acid and chebulic acid. The fruit extract of T. chebula is having different biological properties like anticancer, antioxidant, hepatic and renal protective activities etc. In this study, we focus on the use of CO2 extract of Terminalia chebula, on the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.

  • 매실나무(Carthamus tinctorius L.)는 한국, 일본과 중국에서 전통적으로 약효가 있는 음식으로 사용되어 왔다. 특히 과일은 위염증 및 위궤양에 도움이 되는 생물학적 효과가 있다고 보고되었다. 그러나 피부미백과 관련된 효능에 대한 연구는 이직까지 미진하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 항산화 및 피부미백에 대한 매실추출물의 효능이 조사되었다. MTT assay를 이용한 세포생존에 대한 결과로 매실추출물은 0.1% 이하의 농도에서 세포독성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 다음에 매실추출물의 환원력 뿐만 아니라 DPPH radical, hydrogen peroxide 및 superoxide에 대한 직접적인 소거효과가 in vitro에서 평가되었다. 그것은 이상의 활성산소종에 대한 소거효과를 발휘하게 하는 우수한 환원력을 가지고 있다. 더욱이 산화적 스트레스와 연관된 genomic DNA 손상에 대한 보호효과가 농도에 따라 증가하는 것이 관찰 되었다. 뿐만 아니라 L-dopa에 의하여 유발되는 멜라닌 생성에 대한 억제효과를 나타내었다. 그것은 또한 Western blot 분석에서 항산화와 괸련된 NRF-2, SOD-1 및 SOD-2 발현수준을 감소시킨다는 것이 발견되었다. 이러한 결과들은 매실추출물이 항산화에 의한 멜라닌생성의 억제를 통하여 피부 미백효과를 발휘할 수 있다는 것을 암시한다.

  • Gardenia yellow, extracted from gardenia fruit, has been widely used as a coloring agent for foods, and thus, safety of its usage is of prime importance. In the current study, short-term genotoxicity assays were conducted to evaluate the potential genotoxic effects of gardenia yellow. The gardenia yellow used was found to contain 0.057 mg/g of genipin, a known biologically active compound of the gardenia fruit extract. Ames test did not reveal any positive results. No clastogenicity was detected by a chromosomal aberration test, even on evaluation at the highest feasible concentration of gardenia yellow. Gardenia yellow was also shown to be non-genotoxic using an in vitro comet assay and a micronucleus test with L5178Y cells, although a marginal increase in DNA damage and micronuclei frequency was reported in the respective assays. Additionally, in vivo micronucleus test results clearly demonstrated that oral administration of gardenia yellow did not induce micronuclei formation in the bone marrow cells of male ICR mice. Taken together, our results indicate that gardenia yellow is not mutagenic to bacterial cells, and that it does not cause chromosomal damage in mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.

  • The limonoid compound (28-deacetyl sendanin0 isolated from the fruit of Melia toosendan SIEB. et ZUCC. was evaluated on anticancer activity. According to a standard in vitro cytotoxicity assy, eight human cancer cell lines and SRB assay were introduced for present evaluation. As a positive standard, adriamycin was tested in parallel. The cell lines were originated from six different organs. In view of dose-response profiles to 28-deacetyl sendanin, the most sensitive cells were SF-539 and PC-3 which were derived from CNS and prostate, respecitively. In contrast, all the cell lines responded similarly to adriamycin to give rise to nearly indentical six cell lines were more sensitive to 28-deacetyl sendanin and two were more resistant. As a result, 28-deacetyl sendanin had more senstive and selective inhibitory effects on in vitro growth of human cancer cell lines in a comparison with adriamycin.

  • Background: The flowering plant Hippophae rhamnoides L. has been used for many studies on fruit or leaf extracts. This study was conducted to investigate the development of a new cosmetic material from H. rhamnoides fruits and leaves that have by antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and wrinkle improvement activities. Methods and Results: The antioxidant abilities of H. rhamnoides extracts, including of a water-soluble fruit powder (FW), a fatsoluble fruit powder (FF), a supercritical extract of fruit by-product (BS), and a mixture of leaf and fruit (MIX), were investigated in vitro. A DPPH radical assay for antioxidant activity was performed for these fractions alongside assay to evaluate the total phenolic and flavonoid content (TPC and TFC). As expected, the MIX had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity ($RC_{50}=10.27{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), and the TPC and TFC also were highest in MIX ($225.7mg{\cdot}GAE/g$, and $25.18mg{\cdot}QE/g$, respectively). Nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells was estimated and the results indicated an over 75% decrease of NO production in FF and MIX. In other assays, the highest elastase inhibitory activity was found in FW. Conclusions: These results revealed that H. rhamnoides extracts have a high potential for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiwrinkle activities. H. rhamnoides products are suggested to be applied as the functional materials of cosmetic ingredients.
