저온 진공 공정으로 건조된 참치를 유기용매로 추출하여 이들 참치 추출물 및 분획물들에 의한 인체 결장암 및 섬유육종세포에 대한 증식 및 세포 내 활성산소종 억제 효과에 대해 검토하였다. 건조 참치의 A+M 추출물과 MeOH 추출물을 0.5, 1, 및 5 mg/ml의 농도로 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080)에 처리했을 때 농도 의존적으로 인체 암세포 증식을 억제시켰으며(p<0.05), 특히 A+M 추출물이 MeOH 추출물에 비하여 그 억제효과가 우수하였다. 건조 참치 추출물로부터 얻어진 분획물들의 경우 특히 hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물들에 의한 암세포 증식 억제효과가 높았다. 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)에 대한 결과로 A+M 추출물은 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080)의 결과와 비교했을 때 다소 암세포 증식 억제 효과가 낮았으나 5 mg/ml의 첨가농도에서 95%로 암세포 증식 억제효과를 보였고(p<0.05), MeOH 추출물도 앞서 A+M 추출물 결과와 유사하게 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080)에 비해 낮은 암세포 성장 억제효과를 보였지만, 첨가농도 5 mg/ml에서는 93%로 높은 암세포 증식 억제효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 건조 참치 분획물들의 경우도 앞서의 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080)와 유사하게 모든 분획물들에서 농도 의존적으로 억제효과가 높은 것을 살펴 볼 수가 있었고, 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)에서도 hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물에 의한 항암효과가 우수하였다. In vitro 항산화실험에서 건조 참치 A+M 추출물 및 MeOH 추출물을 농도별로 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080)에 처리하였을 때 A+M 추출물(10 mg/ml 농도)를 제외하고 측정기간 120분 동안 모든 추출물들이 blank군과 control군에 비해 세포 내 활성산소종을 크게 감소시켰다. 건조 참치 분획물들 중 BuOH 및 85% aq. MeOH 분획물들은 세포내 활성산소종을 크게 감소시키는 우수한 항산화 효과를 나타내었다.

The appearance rates of antipyrine and urea into cerebrospinal fluid from blood were studied in the rabbits which were in the state of hypotension and of high permeability in the capillary beds following injection of histamine. The alteration in the distribution of electrolytes among various compartments of the brain and the permeability characteristics in the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier were also observed. Adult male rabbits, weighing around 2 kg, were used. Twenty four rabbits were divided into 3 groups. Besides the control group, histamine treated rabbits were categorized into 2 groups. $H_1$ consisted of the rabbits showing moderate responses to histamine and ranging from 62 to 80 mmHg in their mean anterial blood pressure. The animals which belong to $H_2-group$ showed severe responses to histamine and the mean anterial blood pressures dropped to 30-50 mmHg. Animals were anesthetized with nembutal, 30mg/kg i.v. The mean arterial blood pressure was read by means of the mercury manometer connected to the femoral artery. The animals, treated with histamine, were kept in hypotensive state at least for 40 minutes before the administration of the test-substances. The test-substances, 300 mg of urea and 200 mg of antipyrine, were dissolved in 3 ml of distilled water and were injected into the ear vein of the rabbit. After 10 minutes elapsed arterial blood sample was taken from the femoral artery and cerebrospinal fluid from the cisterna magna. Brain tissues were also analysed with respect to electrolytes in order to observe the disturbances in the electrolytes balance as well as in the function of the central nervous system. The results obtained were as follow: 1. The ratio of antipyrine concentration in cerebrospinal fluid to that of arterial blood plasma, that was the distribution ratio, was close to unity, revealing a well established equilibrium between the compartments of blood and cerebrospinal fluid in 10 minutes. In other words, there was no diffusion barrier with regard to antipyrine. The ratios over unity which were frequently seen in the histamine treated animals were attributable to the early penetration of the substance into the cerebrospinal fluid. 2. The appearance rates of urea into the cerebrospinal fluid in the histamine treated rabbits were higher in comparison with those of in the control animals. The increasing tendency in the rates was particularly remarkable in the $H_2-group$, showing the enhanced penetration of urea across the boondary. 3. In the htisamine treated $H_2-group$ the concentration of potassium in the blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid well exceeded the control values and showed 8.5 and 9.0 mEq/l in average, respectively. Simultaneous drops in the brain tissue water were noticed, suggesting the leakage of intracellular potassium. 4. There was a coincidence in the rising pattern of potassium in the blood plasma and in the cerebrospinal fluid of $H_2-group$ and at least partial removal of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier with respect to potassium was suggested in these animals. 5. The concentration of sodium in the blood plasma or in the cerebrospinal fluid showed no significant changes following histamine injection. However, sodium in the brain tissue revealed slight elevation in the histamine treated groups. 6. The ratios of the concentrations of potassium to those of sodium, [K]/[Na] in the brain tissues, were 1.92 in the control 1.82 in the $H_1$ and 1.52 in the $H_2-group$, respectively. The marked drop in the $H_2-group$ might represent neural dysfunction in the extremely hypotensive rabbits.

본 연구에서는 금불초(Inula britannica) 추출물의 항산화 효과와 ${H_2}{O_2}$로부터 유도된 SH-SY5Y 신경모세포종의 세포독성에 대한 보호능을 측정하였다. 금불초 지상부위의 70% 메탄올 추출물에 대하여 용매별로 분획을 실시하였고 핵산(Fr.H), 에틸아세테이트(Fr.EA) 및 물(Fr.W) 분획에 대하여 활성을 조사하였다. 분획 중 Fr.W의 폴리페놀/플라보노이드 함량이 가장 높았으며 Fr.W의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 $318.1{\pm}20.6{\mu}g$/mg solid로, Fr.EA 및 Fr.H와 비교하여 각각 약 2.5배, 23.1배 수준이었다. DPPH radical, ABTS radical 및 nitric oxide 소거능 등의 항산화 활성에서도 Fr.W가 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고 Fr.H는 거의 활성을 나타내지 않았다. Fr.W는 ${H_2}{O_2}$에 의해 유도된 세포사멸에 대하여 62.5 ${\mu}g$/mL 농도에서 현저하게 세포독성을 감소시켰으며 250 ${\mu}g$/mL에서는 77.0%의 세포사멸 억제능을 보였다. Fr.EA는 보호 효과를 나타 내지 않았으며 Fr.H는 오히려 ${H_2}{O_2}$로 인한 세포 독성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 세포 내 ROS에 대한 영향으로 Fr.W 250 ${\mu}g$/mL 처리시 39.2% 세포내 ROS를 감소시켰으며 Fr.EA는 25 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 26.8%의 세포내 ROS를 소거하였다. 이러한 금불초 Fr.W의 항산화 활성은 ROS에 의해 야기되는 뇌세포 독성에 대한 보호 작용에 공헌할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

;The mechanisms inducing hypertension are actively investigated and are still challenging topics. Basically hypertension must be caused by the disorder of $Ca^{2+}$ metabolism in vascular smooth muscle, such as the increase of $Ca^{2+}$ influx, the decrease of ci+ efflux, or the change of sensitivity of contractile protein etc. The one of cause of the increase of ci+ influx may be the change of ci+ channel activity. Even though the relationships of ci+ channel activity and hypertension were studied using various hypertension models, still it is not clear how much change of $Ca^{2+}$ channel activity in diabetes mellitus (DM) induced hypertension is occurred. We induced DM hypertension in SD rat and compared the $Ca^{2+}$ channel activity with age-matched normotensive SD rat. For inducing DM hypertension, left kidney was removed with 200 gm rat and, after 1 month, 60 mg/kg of streptozotocin was injected into peritoneal space to induce diabetes mellitus. Usually after 4-6 weeks, hypertension was fully induced. For isolating vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), we used mesenteric arteriole (3rd - 4th branch of mesenteric artery) of which diameter is below 150 urn. VSMCs were isolated enzymatically. $Ca^{2+}$ current was measured using whole cell patch clamp technique. All experiments were performed at $37^{\circ}C$. The cell membrane area of VSMC of DM hypertensive rat is larger than that of control VSMC($36.6{\pm}3.64{\;}pF{\;}vs{\;}22.4{\pm}1.29{\;}pF, {\;}mean{\pm}S.E.$) When we compared the current amplitude, the $Ca^{2+}$ current amplitude in VSMC of DM hypertensive rat is much larger than that in VSMC of normotensive age-matched rat. After $Ca^{2+}$ current amplitude was normalized by cell membrane area, the current amplitude in DM hypertension is increased to $249.1{\pm}15.9{\;}%{\;}(mean{\pm}S.E.M)$, which means the ;absolute current amplitude is about 4 times larger in DM hypertension. When we compared the steady state activation and inactivation. there were no noticeable differences. From these results. one of cause of the DM hypertension is due to the increase of $Ca^{2+}$ current amplitude. But it need further study why the $Ca^{2+}$ current is so large in VSMC of DM hypertension and how much $Ca^{2+}$ influx through $Ca^{2+}$ channel contribute to the increase of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ and eventually contribute to development of hypertension.ypertension.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is known to be frequently associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. We examined the effects of EtOH extracts from Triticum aestivum on lipid accumulation during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to screening the candidate materials in preventing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The lipid level in adipocytes was determined by Oil Red O staining. The treatment of 50% ethanol, but not water and 100% ethanol extracts, from Triticum aestivum at concentration of 0.5 $mg/ml$ inhibited lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells, revealing no cell toxicity. Thus, the fractions of $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc and BuOH were separated from 50% EtOH extract to characterize anti-adipogenic effect. The $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction at concentration of $50{\mu}g/ml$ effectively inhibited the lipid accumulation in the adipocytes compared to those of EtOAc and BuOH at concentration of $50{\mu}g/ml$. The intracellular triglyceride accumulation also was significantly reduced by treatment of $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction in concentration-dependent manner. Western blot analysis showed that the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction attenuated the intracelluar level of fatty acid synthase(FAS) accompanied by attenuated expression of Peroxidase proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) adipogenic transcription factor. These results suggest that $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction from 50% EtOH extract of Triticum aestivum may has the potent anti-adipogenic effects by inhibiting the transactivation of $PPAR{\gamma}$.

꾸지뽕나무 뿌리 추출물은 항염, 항암, 항산화와 같은 효과를 갖는 많은 생리활성 물질을 포함하고 있다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 꾸지뽕나무 뿌리 추출물(이하 CTE)의 사람 혈소판 응집 억제 기전에 관하여는 알려진 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 CTE가 혈소판에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. CTE는 collagen으로 유도한 혈소판 응집 반응에서 cyclooxygenase-1 활성을 억제하고, 세포 내 칼슘 농도를 낮추는 방식으로 thromboxane A₂ 생성을 억제하였다. 또한, phospholipase Cγ2와 syk의 인산화 반응을 억제하였으며, guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)에 의존적인 방식으로 vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein(VASP)의 Ser²³⁹ 위치를 인산화하여 항혈소판 효과를 나타내었다. 또한, 고지방 식이로 혈소판 활성화를 유도한 랫드에서 CTE를 경구 투여 하였을 때, 간독성 없이 콜라겐으로 유도한 혈소판 응집반응을 thromboxane A₂ 생성을 억제함으로써 항혈소판 효과를 보였다. 이는 in vivo와 in vitro에서 같은 결과를 제시하고 있다. 결론적으로, CTE는 항혈소판 작용 및 심혈관계 질환 예방을 위한 천연물 유래의 안전하고, 새로운 물질임을 제시하는 바이다.

스트렙토조토신으로 당뇨를 유발시킨 쥐의 심근 근장그물에서 칼슘이동이 저하됨을 볼 수 있었다. 칼슘이동의 저하는 최대칼슘 uptake의 감소와 칼슘에 대한 affinity의 감소로 나타났다. 이러한 심근 근장그물의 기능저하가 나타나는 작용기전이 심근 근장그물 단백의 산화성 손상과 관계가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 당뇨쥐에서는 glycohemoglobin과 carbonyl group의 양이 현저히 증가됨을 볼 수 있었다. 한편으로 cyclic AMP 의존성 protein kinase의 catalytic subunit에 의한 phospholamban 인산화에 의해 심근 근장고물 칼슘이동의 증가를 보였고, 이 증가는 대조군에 비하여 당뇨군에서 훨씬 현저하게 나타났다. SDS-polyacrylamide를 이용한 전기영동후 autoradiogram을 통하여 확인한 phospholamban 인산화는 당뇨군에서 진한 band로 나타남이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 당뇨군의 심근 근장그물 기능저하는, 기초상태에서 아마도 심근내 저하된 norephinephrine 양으로 인하여 phospholamban 인산화 정도가 적으므로 근장그물 $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ 억제가 나타남을 제시해 주며, 근장그물 단백의 산화성 손상도 당뇨성 심근질한을 일으킬 수 있는 또 다른 요인 중의 하나로 생각된다.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neuromuscular disease of unknown etiology in which the upper and lower motor neurons are progressively destroyed. Recent evidences support the role of autoimmune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of ALS. This study investigated the effects of sera from ALS patients on neuromuscular transmission in phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparations and on calcium currents of single isolated dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells in mice. Mice were injected with either control sera from healthy adults or ALS sera from 18 patients with ALS of sporadic form, for three days. Miniature end plate potential (MEPP) and nerve-evoked end plate potential (EPP) were measured using intracellular recording technique and the quantal content was determined. Single isolated DRG cells were voltage-clamped with the whole-cell configuration and membrane currents were recorded. Sera from 14 of 18 ALS patients caused a significant increase in MEPP frequency in normal Ringer's solution $(4.62{\pm}0.14\;Hz)$ compared with the control $(2.18{\pm}0.15\;Hz).$ In a high $Mg^{2+}/low\;Ca^{2+}$ solution, sera from 13 of 18 ALS patients caused a significant increase in MEPP frequency, from $2.18{\pm}0.31$ Hz to $6.09{\pm}0.38$ Hz. Sera from 11 of 18 patients produced a significant increase of nerve-evoked EPP amplitude, from $0.92{\pm}0.05$ mV to $1.30{\pm}0.04$ mV, while the other seven ALS sera did not alter EPP amplitude. In the ALS group, EPP quantal content was also elevated by the sera of 14 patients (from $1.49{\pm}0.07$ to $2.35{\pm}0.07).$ MEPP frequency and amplitude in wobbler mouse were $4.03{\pm}0.53$ Hz and $1.37{\pm}0.18$ mV, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of wobbler controls (wobblers without the symptoms of wobbler). Sera from ALS patients significantly reduced HVA calcium currents of DRG cells to 42.7% at -10 mV. Furthermore, the inactivation curve shifted to more negative potentials with its half-inactivation potential changed by 6.98 mV. There were, however, significant changes neither in the reversal potential of $I_{Ca}$ nor in the I-V curve. From these results it was concluded that: 1) The serum factors of sporadic ALS patients increase neuromuscular transmission and can alter motor nerve terminal presynaptic function. This suggests that ALS serum factors may play an important role in the early stage of ALS, and 2) Calcium currents in DRG cells were reduced and rapidly inactivated by ALS sera, suggesting that in these cells, ALS serum factors may exert interaction with the calcium channel.
