This study was performed to investigate a methodology of improving immune activities of Berberis koreana Palibin by ultra high pressure on low temperature extraction process. Extraction yield was enhanced up to more than 35% by above process, compare to the control and extraction average. The cytotoxicity on human kidney cell (HEK293) was showed below 20.4%, 21.6% in adding 1.0 mg/ml of the highest concentration. Generally, the extracts by ultra high pressure extraction process showed less toxicity about 5% than the other processes. It could tell that toxic materials that existing in the plant could be reduced or broken by ultra high pressure process due to can be broken bond such the hydrogen bond, the electrostatic bond, the van der Waals bond, and the hydrophobic bond, can be broken by high pressure. The result could be employed to develop a new type of functional food from B. koreana Palibin by low temperature high pressure process.

참당귀로부터 열수추출 및 에탄올 침전법을 이용해 조다당을 분리하고 DEAE-Sepharose FF와 Sephadex G-100을 이용하여 얻은 정제 다당 AGE-2c-I을 대상으로 선천 면역 활성 및 항종양 전이 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 인체의 초기 면역 반응에 있어 중추적인 역할을 수행하는 보체계 활성화 및 활성화 경로를 확인한 결과, AGE-2c-I은 운지버섯 유래 시판 면역증강제인 PSK에 준하는 우수한 활성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었으며. 본 활성은 주로 고전경로를 통하여 활성화되며 일부 부경로를 경유하는 것으로 최종 확인되었다. 또한 AGE-2c-I은 mouse 복강 유래 대식세포에 대해 직접적인 독성을 나타내지 않으며 종양세포주 YAC-1 및 B16BL6에 대한 직접적인 독성 또한 나타나지 않음을 확인함으로써 시료의 직접적인 독성에 근거한 항암 효과는 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면에 비장으로부터 분리한 림프구는 8 ㎍/mL의 AGE-2c-I 처리에 의해 증식능이 관찰되었다. AGE-2c-I이 대식세포의 cytokine 분비능에 미치는 효과를 확인한 결과, 우수한 IL-6, IL-12 및 TNF-α 분비능을 보였으며 시료를 200 ㎍ 및 1,000 ㎍의 고농도로 처리한 실험군에서 IL-10이 분비된 것으로 보아 AGE-2c-I은 immune-stimulator의 역할뿐만 아니라 immune-suppressor로서의 작용 또한 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 한편 종양 및 암세포에 대하여 직접적인 살해 활성을 나타내는 NK cell 활성을 확인한 실험에서는 농도 의존적인 종양 세포 살해능을 확인할 수 있었으며 100 ㎍/mouse 농도에서 NC 대비 약 1.5배 높은 NK cell 활성을 나타냈을 뿐만 아니라, 폐에 대한 고전이성 종양세포주인 B16BL6 melanoma 세포를 이용한 실험동물 종양 전이 모델에선 100 ㎍/mouse 농도로 처리한 실험군이 NC 대비 58%의 colony가 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 부터 참당귀 유래 RG-I 구조의 다당은 높은 선천면역계 자극 활성, 특히 보체계, 대식세포, 림프구 증식, NK cell의 활성화를 통해 우수한 항종양 전이 효과를 갖는 것으로 최종 확인되었으며 건강기능성식품 소재로의 개발가치가 우수한 것으로 판단되었다.

Extracts from Asian medicinal herbs are known to be successful therapeutic agents against cancer. In this study, the effects of three types of herbal extracts on anti-tumor growth were examined. Among the three types of herbal extracts, H9 showed stronger anti-tumor growth effects than H5 and H11 in vivo. To find the molecular mechanism by which H9 inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines, the levels of apoptotic markers were examined. Proapoptotic markers, including cleaved PARP and cleaved caspases 3 and 9, were increased, whereas the anti-apoptotic marker Bcl-2 was decreased by H9 treatment. Next, the combined effect of H9 with the chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) on tumor growth was examined using 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The combined treatment of H9 with AC did not show additive or synergetic anti-tumor growth effects. However, when tumor-bearing mice were co-treated with H9 and the targeted anti-tumor drug trastuzumab, a delay in tumor growth was observed. The combined treatment of H9 and trastuzumab caused an increase of natural killer (NK) cells and a decrease of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC). Taken together, H9 induces the apoptotic death of tumor cells while increasing anti-tumor immune activity through the enhancement of NK activity and diminishment of MDSC.

1. 연구배경 세계적으로 암환자의 증가는 물론이거니와 사망자수도 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 우리나라의 경우도 암이 주된 사망원인으로 보고되어 있다. 종양의 발생기전이나 생물학적인 성상은 매우 복잡하고, 암을 치료하는 기전도 매우 복잡하다. 최근의 한의학적인 접근이 시도되면서 많은 경우에서 그 효능이 실험적으로 연구되고 있다. 한의학에서의 종양(腫瘍)의 치료방법(治療方法)은 서간이기(舒肝理氣), 강역지구(降逆止嘔), 활혈화어(活血化瘀), 이기화결(理氣化結), 건비조습(健脾燥濕), 화울산결(化鬱散結), 양음청열(養陰淸熱), 생진화담(生津化痰)을 이용하는데, 식분탕(息賁湯)은 '치폐지적(治肺之積), 재우협하(在右脇下), 대여복배(大如覆杯), 구부유(久不愈), 세세한열, 기역천해(氣逆喘咳), 발위폐옹(發爲肺癰)'의 효과가 있고, 구성약재들도 한의학적인 치료법에 합당하여 암 치료에 응용할 수 있는 처방으로 생각된다. 따라서 식분탕(息賁湯)을 이용하여 항암력과 면역능의 증진 및 폐전이 흑색종의 증식억제에 대하여 연구하고자 하였다. 2. 실험방법 본 연구에서는 식분탕(息賁湯)의 폐암 및 복강암에 대한 효과를 알아보기 위하여 암을 유발시킨 웅성(雄性) 생쥐에 식분탕(息賁湯) 엑기스를 투여하여 항암효과 및 면역능을 측정하였다. 측정항목은 시험관내 세포독성능을 위하여 MTT 법을 실시하였으며, Sarcoma-180세포를 ICR생쥐에 이식한 후 복강암 생쥐의 생존기간 및 고형종양의 저지율, IL-2 (Interleukin-2)생산능, NK(Natural Killer cell)-Activity을 측정하였고, B16세포를 C57BL/6생쥐에 정맥주사한 후 폐에 전이된 악성 흑색종의 집락수를 측정하였다. 3. 실험결과 시험관내 세포독성을 MTT법에 의하여 측정하였던 바 식분탕(息賁湯)의 용량이 $10{\mu}g/ml$, $100{\mu}g/ml$의 경우에 대조군에 비하여 유의성있는 효과를 보였다(P<0.05). 발암 생쥐의 생존기간 연장효과에 있어서 식분탕(息賁湯)투여군에서 대조군에 비하여 증가하는 경향이 있었으나 유의성은 없었다. 종양의 중량을 측정하였던 바 식분탕(息賁湯)투여군에서 대조군에 비하여 감소하는 경향이 있었으나 유의성은 없었다. 폐전이 흑색종의 군집수 측정에서는 식분탕(息賁湯)투여군이 대조군에 비하여 유의성있는 감소를 보였다(P<0.05). IL-2의 생산능은 식분탕(息賁湯) 엑기스 투여군에서는 대조군에 비하여 7일과 14일째에 유의성있는 증가를 보였고(P<0.05), 21일째는 증가하는 경향만 보였다. NK-Activity에서는 작동세포와 표적세포의 비가 50:1 일 때 대조군에 비하여 유의성있게 증가하였고(P<0.05), 나머지의 경우는 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In order to develop new physiologically active polysaccharides from persimmon leaves, two different crude polysaccharides were prepared using hot water (PLW-0) and pectinase digestion (PLE-0) and their immuno-stimulating activities were estimated. PLW-0 and PLE-0 showed similar sugar compositions with 15 different sugars, including rarely observed sugars in general polysaccharides such as 2-O-methyl-fucose, 2-O-methyl-xylose, apiose, aceric acid, 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid, and 3-deoxy-D-lyxo-2-heptulosaric acid, but the uronic acid content of PLE-0 was lower than that of PLW-0 caused by pectinase treatment. Both PLW-0 and PLE-0 showed potent anti-complementary activity in a dose-dependent manner which was similar to a known immuno-stimulating polysaccharide, PSK, from Coriolus versicolor. The activity of PLE-0 at a low concentration ($100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) was higher than that of PLW-0. In an in vitro cytotoxicity analysis, PLW-0 and PLE-0 (up to $1,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) did not affect the growth of peritoneal macrophages and Colon 26-M3.1 carcinoma cells. In contrast, they enhanced lymphocyte proliferation activity. Peritoneal macrophages stimulated with PLW-0 and PLE-0 produced various cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-12. However, PLE-0 was more effective on the cytokine production. Intravenous administration of PLW-0 and PLE-0 significantly augmented natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity against Yac-1 tumor cells 3 days after the treatment of polysaccharide fractions. But NK cells obtained from the PLE-treated group showed higher tumoricidal activity even at a low dose of $40{\mu}g$/mouse. In experimental lung metastasis of Colon 26-M3.1 carcinoma cells, prophylactic administration of PLW-0 and PLE-0 significantly inhibited lung metastasis in a dose-dependent manner and PLE-0 was more effective on the inhibition of cancer metasasis. The results lead us to conclude that the pectinase-treated process is indispensable to preparing polysaccharides with higher immune-stimulating activity from persimmon leaves.

1. 연구배경 종양은 발생원인과 기전이 밝혀져 있지 않고, 그 생물학적인 성상이 복잡하다. 최근에는 암에 의한 사망이 증가하고 있으며, 종양치료에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 한의학계에서도 이러한 경향으로 한의학적인 치료법을 이용한 종양치료를 시도하고 있다. 반하후박탕은 난질비장(蘭窒秘藏)에 복부의 적취에 사용된 처방으로, 실험적인 연구는 시도되지 않았다. 따라서 항암 및 면역조절에 관한 영향을 알아보고자 실험에 임하였다. 2. 연구방법 본 연구에서는 반하후박탕이 폐암 및 복강암에 대한 효과를 알아보기 위하여 암을 유발시킨 웅성(雄性) 생쥐에 반하후박탕 엑기스를 투여하여 항암효과 및 면역능을 측정하였다. 측정항목은 시험관내 세포독성을 위하여 MTT 법을 실시하였으며, Sarcoma-180세포를 ICR생쥐에 이식한 후 복강암생쥐의 생존기간 및 고형조양의 저지율, IL-2(Interleukin-2) 생산능, NK(Natural Killer cell)-Activity을 측정하였고, B16세포를 C57BL/6생쥐에 정맥주사한 후 폐에 전이된 악성 흑색종의 집락수를 측정하였다. 3. 연구결과 시험관내 세포독성을 MTT법에 의하여 측정하였던 바 반하후박탕의 용량이 $10{\mu}g/ml$, $100{\mu}g/ml$의 경우에 대조군에 비하여 유의성있는 효과를 보였다(P<0.05). 발암 생쥐의 생존기간 연장효과에 있어서 반하후박탕투여군에서 대조군에 비하여 6.67%의 증가하는 경향이 있었으나 유의성은 없었다. 종양의 중량을 측정하였던 바 반하후박탕투여군에서 대조군에 비하여 32.78%의 감소하는 경향이 있었으나 유의성은 없었다. 폐전이 흑색종의 집락수를 측정한 결과 반하후박탕투여군이 대조군에 비하여 유의성있는 감소를 보였다(P<0.05). IL-2의 생산능은 반하후박탕투여군에서는 대조군에 비하여 7일과 14일째에 유의성있는 증가를 보였고(P<0.05), 21일째는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. NK-Activity에서는 모든 경우에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이상을 종합하면 반하후박탕이 Sarcoma-180세포에 대하여 직접적인 세포독성능을 나타내며, 복강 생쥐의 생존기간을 연장시키고, 고형종양의 성장은 억제하며, 보조 T세포를 자극하여 IL-2의 생산능을 증가시켜 종양의 성장을 억제하는 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 산림환경 이용 빈도에 따라 근로자의 스트레스 수준에 어떤 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 정서적 스트레스와 소진 경험이 많은 것으로 알려진 감정노동 직업군 중에서 연구대상자를 선정했다. 수도권 소재 의료기관과 상담기관의 직원 370명을 대상으로 사전 설문조사를 실시하여 산림이용 빈도에 따라 이들을 분류했다. 이후 캠프와 대조군 검사에 서면으로 참여의사를 밝힌 인원을 모집한 결과, 최종적으로 산림환경 이용 빈도가 높은 집단이 27명, 산림환경 이용 빈도가 낮은 집단 42명의 총 69명이 연구에 참여하였다. 이들을 대상으로 Worker's Stress Response Inventory (WSRI), Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS)와 같은 심리사회적 변인과 심박변이도(heart rate variability), 코티솔(cortisol), 자연살해세포(Natural Killer cell) 등의 생물학적 변인 검사를 실시한 결과, 산림환경 이용 빈도에 따라 스트레스 수준에 차이가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 산림이용 빈도 "높음" 집단은 우울, 직무증상과 스트레스 반응 총점(WSRI)이 "낮음" 집단에 비해 유의미하게 적었으며, 스트레스에서의 회복경험 총점(REQ) 역시 통계적으로 유의하게 "낮음" 집단보다 높았다. MBI-GS의 정서적 고갈과 직업성취감 감소, 총점에서도 "높음" 집단이 유의하게 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 대부분의 다른 지표에서도 동일한 경향성이 관찰되었다. 생물학적 변인에서는 통계적으로 유의한 결과는 없었으나 "높음" 집단은 심박변이도의 SDNN 및 RMSSD, TP 지표와 자연살해세포 활성도에서 높은 수치를 나타내었고, 코티솔은 낮았다. 이 결과는 평소 산림환경을 자주 이용하는 사람들이 심리사회적인 스트레스가 낮고, 생물학적으로도 더 스트레스를 적게 받는 상태에 있음을 의미한다.
