H. erinaceum은 현재 산업적으로 매우 주목되고 있는 기능성 소재들 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 식용은 물론 각종 약리효과를 나타내는 H. erinaceum의 기능성 식품의 제품화 연구 일환으로, 지금까지 체계적으로 연구된 바 없는 H. erinaceum의 액체배양을 시도하고, 생성된 균사체의 생리기능성의 변화를 자실체의 물 추출물과 비교, 조사함으로써 H. erinaceum 액체배양 생성물의 생리기능 효과를 평가, 규명하고자 하였다. H. erinaceum의 자실체 및 균사체 물 추출물은 HeLa (human cervix epitheloid carcinoma; 인간 자궁 상피암세포), Raw264.7 (mouse monocyte macrophage; 생쥐 단핵 대식세포), Jurkat (human acute T cell leukemia, 인간 급성 T 백혈병 세포), KATO3 (human gastric carcinoma 인간 위장 암세포), EL4 (mouse T lymphoma 생쥐 T 림프종 세포), LyD9 (mouse bone marrow plurypotent stem cell; 생쥐 공수유래 간세포) 등 각종 암세포주에 대해 농도 의존적으로 증식 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 자실체 추출물은 균사체 추출물보다 대부분의 암세포 증식의 억제 효과가 컸으며, 가장 높은 암세포 증식 억제효과를 보인 자실체 열수 추출물의 효과는 Raw 264.7 및 EL4 세포주를 사용한 Taxol와의 비교실험 결과, 자실체 농도 0.01$\sim$10 mg/ml에서 자실체 사용량의 1/1000에 상당하는 양의 Taxol 효과와 비슷하였다. 자실체 및 균사체 열수 추출물들은 1 mg/ml 농도에서 복강세포의 nitric oxide 생산 유도능을 나타내었으며, lipopolysaccharides 자극으로 더욱 증가하였다. 반면, 비장세포의 증식유도능 및 interleukin-2 유도능에서는 각 시료 단독으로는 증식 유도 및 interleukin-2 유도능을 나타내지 않았으나 각각 lipopolysaccharide와 concanavalin A의 첨가 및 concanavalin A 자극으로 강한 증식유도능 및 interleukin-2 생산능을 나타내었고, 그 효과는 균사체 추출물에서 자실체 보다 더욱 높았다. 또 각 시료는 골수세포에 대해서도 약간의 증식효과를 보였으며, 복강세포의 탐식능을 나타내었다.

Background: Hypoxia causes oxidative stress and affects cardiovascular function and the programming of cardiovascular disease. Melatonin promotes antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the correlation between melatonin and hypoxia induction in cardiomyocytes differentiation. Methods: Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were induced to myocardial differentiation. To demonstrate the influence of melatonin under hypoxia, mESC was pretreated with melatonin and then cultured in hypoxic condition. The cardiac beating ratio of the mESC-derived cardiomyocytes, mRNA and protein expression levels were investigated. Results: Under hypoxic condition, the mRNA expression of cardiac-lineage markers (Brachyury, Tbx20, and cTn1) and melatonin receptor (Mtnr1a) was reduced. The mRNA expression of cTn1 and the beating ratio of mESCs increased when melatonin was treated simultaneously with hypoxia, compared to when only exposed to hypoxia. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α protein decreased with melatonin treatment under hypoxia, and Mtnr1a mRNA expression increased. When the cells were exposed to hypoxia with melatonin treatment, the protein expressions of phospho-extracellular signal-related kinase (p-ERK) and Bcl-2-associated X proteins (Bax) decreased, however, the levels of phospho-protein kinase B (p-Akt), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) proteins, and antioxidant enzymes including Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, and catalase were increased. Competitive melatonin receptor antagonist luzindole blocked the melatonin-induced effects. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that hypoxia inhibits cardiomyocytes differentiation and melatonin partially mitigates the adverse effect of hypoxia in myocardial differentiation by regulating apoptosis and oxidative stress through the p-AKT and PI3K pathway.

CKD-712, named S-YS49 is a chiral compound derived from higenamine (one component of Aconite spp.) derivatives. To compare the cytotoxicity of CKD-712 between in the absence and in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system, we performed trypan blue dye exclusion assay in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cell. In CHL cells, the cytotoxicity (IC50) of CKD-712 was 92.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 186.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in the absence and presence of S9 metabolic activation, respectively. And we also investigated the induction of DNA damages in mammalian cells. To perform the single cell gel electrophoresis, we determined optimum concentration in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells using frypan blue dye exclusion assay Each IC20 of CKD-712 was determined the concentration of 23.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 24.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in the absence and presence of S9 metabolic activation, respectively. In the comet assay, DNA damage was not observed at the concentration range from 23.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml to 5.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system. In the presence of S9 metabolic activation system, DNA damage was not observed at the concentration range from 24.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml to 6.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. From these results, it is assumed that CKD-712 may be metabolized to less cytotoxic metabolite(s).

연구배경: 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species)은 발암 기전의 여러 단계 과정에 관여한다. 대부분의 종양 세포주 및 종양 조직내의 종양 세포는 활성산소종을 생성하는 반면 종양 세포의 catalase, Mn- 및 CuZn-SOD등 기존 항산화 단백의 활성도는 대부분 저하되어 있다. 이로 인한 종양 조직내의 지속적인 산화 스트레스는 종양의 국소 침습 및 전이를 촉진한다. 12-kDa thioredoxin은 glutathione 및 glutaredoxin과 함께 세포내 산화-환원 전위를 조절하여 세포 활성, 증식, 분화 및 산화-환원에 의한 아포토시스 조절에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편 histiocytic lymphoma 세포 (U937, human)에서 14-kDa 및 10-kDa의 eosinophilic cytotoxic enhancing factor(ECEF)로 정제되었으며 호산구 자극의 생물학적 기능은 10-kDa에서 20배 이상 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 성인 T-세포백혈병, 자궁경부상피세포암 및 간세포암에서 thioredoxin 양이 증가 되어 있고 폐암에서는 thioredoxin mRNA가 증가되어 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 폐암 조직과 주위 정상 조직을 비교하여 catalase, CuZn-SOD 및 glutathione peroxidase 등 기존 항산화 단백과 thioredoxin 발현 변화를 비교 관찰하고 대식세포에서 산화 스트레스 및 내독소에 의한 thioredoxin 발현 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 방 법: 동일한 환자의 폐암 조직과 주변의 정상 폐 조직을 immunoblot 분석으로 catalase, CuZn-SOD, glutathione peroxidase 및 thioredoxin 발현을 비교 관찰하였으며 대식세포인 mouse monocyte-macrophage 세포 (RAW 264.7)에 5 ${\mu}M$ menadione 및 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ endotoxin을 처치하여 thioredoxin 발현을 관찰하였다. 결 과: Immunoblot 분석상 12-kDa의 thioredoxin 발현은 폐암 조직에서 정상 폐조직과 비교하여 의미있는 증가를 보였으나 catalase 및 CuZn-SOD의 발현은 폐암 조직에서 정상 폐조직과 비교하여 감소하였고 glutathione peroxidase의 발현은 일정 하지 않은 변화를 보였다. 절단형(truncated) thioredoxin 역시 폐암에서 증가하였다. Mouse monocyte-macrophage cells에 5 ${\mu}M$ menadione 및 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ endotoxin을 처치하였을때 thioredoxin 발현은 12시간에 최고로 증가하여 48 시간까지 지속되었다. 결 론: 폐암에서 기존의 항산화 단백과는 달리 12-kDa 및 절단형 thioredoxin 발현이 증가하며 이는 종양 조직내의 지속적인 산화 스트레스와 밀접한 연관이 있다. 특히 절단형 thioredoxin의 생물학적 기능을 고려할 때 절단형 thioredoxin 발현 증가는 종양 세포 증식을 통한 종양 성장에 더욱 의미있는 역할하리라고 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus)에서 N-(4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)-3-methylphenyl) acetamide 주사 투여에 따른 넙치 비장의 NK cell 활성을 평가하기 위하여 120, 150, 200 mg/kg 용량으로 설정하고 3일에 1회, 30일 동안 총 10회의 주사를 투여하였다. 표적세포(Target cell)로는 쥐의 임파종 세포인 YAC-1 cell과 넙치의 HINAE cell을 사용하였고, 넙치 비장의 NK cell과의 공배양 시간은 4시간과 18시간을 선정하여 실험을 실시하였다. YAC-1 cell을 사용하여 실험의 경우 4시간과 18시간 공배양 실험 모두 200 mg/kg 용량 구간의 실험군에서 가장 높은 세포독성을 대조군 대비 최대 3.06배 높은 세포독성을 보였다. HINAE cell을 사용한 실험의 경우 4시간 공배양한 실험에서만 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, YAC-1 cell과 마찬가지로 200 mg/kg 용량 구간의 실험군에서 가장 높은 세포 독성을 보여 대조군 대비 2.3배 높은 세포독성을 보였다. 추가적으로 넙치의 두신 조직에서 IL-12b의 발현량을 확인하였고, 세포독성 실험과 일치하는 결과를 보였고, 200 mg/kg 용량 구간의 실험군에서 가장 높은 발현량을 보여 대조군과 비교하여 6.62배 높은 수치를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 N-(4-(4-Fluorophenoxy)-3-methylphenyl) acetamide가 넙치의 NK cell 활성에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

Malignant glioma cells invading surrounding normal brain are inoperable and resistant to radio- and chemotherapy, and eventually lead to tumor regrowth. Identification of genes related to motility is important for understanding the molecular biological behavior of invasive gliomas. According to our previous studies, Metallothionein 1E (MT1E) was identified to enhance migration of human malignant glioma cells. The purpose of this study was to confirm that MT1E could modulate glioma invasion in vivo. Firstly we established 2 cell lines; MTS23, overexpressed by MT1E complementary DNA construct and pV12 as control. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, -9 and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 were increased in MTS23 compared with pV12. Furthermore it was confirmed that MT1E could modulate MMPs secretion and translocation of NFkB p50 and B-cell lymphoma-3 through small interfering ribonucleic acid knocked U87MG cells. Then MTS23 and pV12 were injected into intracranial region of 5 week old male nude mouse. After 4 weeks, for brain tissues of these two groups, histological analysis, and immunohistochemical stain of MMP-2, 9 and Nestin were performed. As results, the group injected with MTS23 showed irregular margin and tumor cells infiltrating the surrounding normal brain, while that of pV12 (control) had round and clear margin. And regrowth of tumor cells in MTS23 group was observed in another site apart from tumor cell inoculation. MT1E could enhance tumor proliferation and invasion of malignant glioma through regulation of activation and expression of MMPs.

Natural Killer cells are considerd to play an important role in antitumor immune surveilance mechanism. In this study, 21 putative anticancer drugs selected from reference were assessed by evaluating the effect on rat Natural Killer cell activity (NKCA). All 21 herb drugs were extracted in boiling water, lyophilized, autoclaved, and then used for experiment. Culture supernatant of concanavalin-A (Con-A)-stimulated rat spleen cells as a source of lymphokine was also used as a control of comparison. Rat spleen cells were used as effector and NKCA was measured in 4hr $^{51}Cr-release$ assay against Yac-1 mouse lymphoma cell line. In order to determine the optimal conditions for NKCA augmentation, effector cells were treated with 3 different concentrations of each drug for 24, or 48 hrs before testing of NKCA, In optimal conditions determined from previous results, the effect of herb drugs on NKCA were assessed in 3 to 5experiments. NKCA was significantly enhanced by treatment with 4 herb drugs(Ponciri Fructus, Houttuyniae Herba, Aurantii Pericarpium, Nepetae Herba). Culture supernatant of Con-A-stimulated spleen cells also augmented the rat NKCA more significantly. The results show that 4 of the herb medicines supposed to display anticancer effect may have activity as a biological response modifier through augmentation of NKCA.

To develop the novel anti-allergic drug, many sophoricoside derivatives were synthesized. Among these derivatives, JSH-II-3, VI-3, VII-3, VIII-3, VII-20 and VII-20 (sodium salt) were selected and subjected to high throughput toxicity screening (HTTS) because they revealed strong IL-5 inhibitory activity and limitation of quantity. Single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay, mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase ($tk^{+/-}$) gene assay (MOLY), chromosomal aberration assay in mammalian cells and Ames reverse mutation assay in bacterial system were used as simplified, inexpensive, short-term in vitro screening tests in our laboratory. Through the primary screening using the comet assay, we could choose the first candidates of sophoricoside derivatives with no genotoxic potentials as JSH-VI-3, VII-3, VII-20 and VII-20 (sodium salt). Also JSH-VII-3, VII-20 and VII-20 (sodium salt) are non-mutagenic in MOLY assay, while JSH-II-3 is mutagenic at high concentration with the presence of metabolic activation system in both comet assay and MOLY assay. The selected derivatives (JSH-VI-3, VII-3, VII-20 and VII-20 (sodium salt) are not mutagenic in S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. From results of chromosomal aberration assay, 6 h treatment of JSH-VI-3, VII-3 and VII-20 (sodium salt) were not revealed clastogenicity both in the presence and absence of S-9 mixture. Therefore, we suggests that JSH-VI-3, VII-3, VII-20 and VII-20 (sodium salt), as the optimal candidates with both no genotoxic potential and IL-5 inhibitory effects must be chosen. To process the development into new anti-inflammatory drug of these derivatives, further investigation will need.
