  • Effects of Taeumjowetang on Lipid Peroxidation by Free Radicals and Oxidative Damage of Hepatocytes by tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide. 1. Purpose The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant effects of Taeumjowetang in vitro. 2. Methods In this study, antioxidant effects of TJT on lipid peroxidation were determined according to the method of TBA. (Abbreviation) TJT : Taeumjowetang, TBA : 2-thiobarbituric acid. 3. Results : 1) TJT inhibited markedly peroxidation of linoleic acid during the autoxidation. 2) TJT inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by hydroxyl radical derived from H2O2-Fe2+ in rat liver homogenate. 3) TJT showed 66% scavenging effect on DPPH radical. 4) TJT exhibited a 25% inhibitory effect on superoxide generation from xanthine-xan thine oxidase system. 5) To investigate the antioxidative effects of TJT on the hepatocytes, cultured normal rat liver cells(Ac2F) were prepared and incubated with or without TJT. After 16~18hr, cells placed in DMEM medium without serum, and then incubated with 1mM t-BHP for 2hr. Viable cells were detected by MTT assay. In this test, TJT protected the cell death induced by t-BHP and significantly increased cell viability in the normal rat liver cell. (Abbreviation) DPPH : ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picryl hydrazyl, DMEM : Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, t-BHP : terr-butyl hydroperoxide, 4. Conclusion These results suggested that TJT might play a protective role in lipid peroxidation by free radicals.

  • Exposure of cells to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation can induce production of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cellular components. In addition, these agents can stimulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and decrease collagen synthesis in human skin cells. In this study, we examined the anti-photoaging effects of extracts of Tetraselmis suecica (W-TS). W-TS showed the strongest scavenging activity against 2,2-difenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and peroxyl radicals, followed by superoxide anions from the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. We observed that the levels of both intracellular ROS and lipid peroxidation significantly increased in UVB-irradiated human skin fibroblast cells. Furthermore, the activities of enzymatic antioxidants (e.g., superoxide dismutase) and the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants (e.g., glutathione) significantly decreased in cells. However, W-TS pretreatment, at the maximum tested concentration, significantly decreased intracellular ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels in the cells. At this same concentration, W-TS did not show cytotoxicity. Type 1 procollagen and MMP-1 released were quantified using RT-PCR techniques. The results showed that W-TS protected type 1 procollagen against UVB-induced depletion in fibroblast cells in a dose-dependent manner via inhibition of UVB-induced MMP-1. Taken together, the results of the study suggest that W-TS effectively inhibits UVB-induced photoaging in skin fibroblasts by its strong anti-oxidant ability.

  • In this study, we examined the hepatic anti-steatosis activity of carnosic acid (CA), a phenolic compound of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaves, as well as its possible mechanism of action, in a high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice model. Mice were fed a HFD, or a HFD supplemented with 0.01% (w/w) CA or 0.02% (w/w) CA, for a period of 12 weeks, after which changes in body weight, blood lipid profiles, and fatty acid mechanism markers were evaluated. The 0.02% (w/w) CA diet resulted in a marked decline in steatosis grade, as well as in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index values, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IGTT) results, body weight gain, liver weight, and blood lipid levels (P < 0.05). The expression level of hepatic lipogenic genes, such as sterol regulating element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), liver-fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), and fatty acid synthase (FAS), was significantly lower in mice fed 0.01% (w/w) CA and 0.02% (w/w) CA diets than that in the HFD group; on the other hand, the expression level of ${\beta}$-oxidation-related genes, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\alpha}$ (PPAR-${\alpha}$), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1), and acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO), was higher in mice fed a 0.02% (w/w) CA diet, than that in the HFD group (P < 0.05). In addition, the hepatic content of palmitic acid (C16:0), palmitoleic acid (C16:1), and oleic acid (C18:1) was significantly lower in mice fed the 0.02% (w/w) CA diet than that in the HFD group (P < 0.05). These results suggest that orally administered CA suppressed HFD-induced hepatic steatosis and fatty liver-related metabolic disorders through decrease of de novo lipogenesis and fatty acid elongation and increase of fatty acid ${\beta}$-oxidation in mice.

  • Background and Objectives: Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury (MIRI) has high morbidity and mortality worldwide. We aimed to explore the role of long noncoding RNA lysyl oxidase like 1 antisense RNA 1 (LOXL1-AS1) in cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. Methods: Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury was constructed in human cardiomyocyte (HCM). The level of LOXL1-AS1, miR-761, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and pyroptosis-related proteins was monitored by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot. Flow cytometry examined the pyroptosis level. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin I levels were detected by test kits. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measured the release of inflammatory cytokines. Dual-luciferase assay validated the binding relationship among LOXL1-AS1, miR-761, and PTEN. Finally, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) animal model was constructed. Hematoxylin and eosin staining assessed morphological changes of myocardial tissue. NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and casepase-1 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results: After H/R treatment, LOXL1-AS1 and PTEN were highly expressed but miR-761 level was suppressed. LOXL1-AS1 inhibition or miR-761 overexpression increased cell viability, blocked the release of LDH and inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-18), inhibited pyroptosis level, and downregulated pyroptosis-related proteins (ASC, cleaved caspase-1, gasdermin D-N, NLRP3, IL-1β, and IL-18) levels in HCMs. LOXL1-AS1 sponged miR-761 to up-regulate PTEN. Knockdown of miR-761 reversed the effect of LOXL1-AS1 down regulation on H/R induced HCM pyroptosis. LOXL1-AS1 aggravated the MIRI by regulating miR-761/PTEN axis in vivo. Conclusions: LOXL1-AS1 targeted miR-761 to regulate PTEN expression, then enhance cardiomyocyte pyroptosis, providing a new alternative target for the treatment of MIRI.

  • 본 연구는 동해유입하천(강릉 연곡천, 양양 남대천), 한강수계(섬강, 속사천), 낙동강수계(길안천)에 서식하는 참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus) 개체군을 대상으로 채집된 110개체로부터 미토콘드리아 DNA COI 유전자(mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I)를 분자마커로 이용하여 계통지리학적 분석을 수행하고, 추가적으로 강릉 연곡천 상·중·하류 개체군을 대상으로 집단유전학적 분석을 수행하였다. 계통지리학 분석 결과, 동해유입하천과 한강수계의 참갈겨니 개체군은 동일한 단일계통을 나타내었고, 낙동강수계의 개체군은 상이한 계통으로 분기됨을 나타내었으며, 다른 수계 계통과의 유전적 거리 수치 범위가 평균 4.0%(3.7~4.2%)로서 동일종 이상 수준을 보여 잠재종 가능성을 시사하였다. 참갈겨니가 서식하는 수계에 따른 형태학적 차이는 연구된 바 있으나 DNA 염기서열의 변이를 이용한 분자유전학적 연구는 부족한 실정이므로 본 연구 결과는 향후 낙동강수계 참갈겨니 개체군의 계통분류학적 연구에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 집단유전체학 및 생태학적 분석을 통하여 관찰된 낙동강수계 계통이 다른 종, 잠재종 혹은 단순히 큰 수준의 종내 변이를 나타내는지에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. 강릉 연곡천 상·중·하류에 서식하는 개체군의 집단유전학 분석을 통해 중류의 개체군이 상대적으로 높은 다양성을 나타냈으며 상·중·하류 개체군 간의 유전적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이는 상·중·하류 개체군 간 유전자 확산이 원활하게 이루어지고 있음을 의미하며 하천의 개체군 간 연결성을 판단할 수 있는 지표로 활용될 수 있다. 하지만 생태학적 시간 스케일의 연구에 더 적합한 분자마커를 이용한 추후 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Trifludimoxazin은 triazinone 계열 제초제로 프로토포르 피리노겐-IX 산화효소(protoporphyrinogen oxidase, PPO)를 억제하며 벼와 광엽 잡초를 방제하는 데 사용된다. PPO의 결핍은 세포막의 손상을 일으켜 식물을 시들게 한다. Trifludimoxazin의 농산물 중 잔류허용기준은 미국에서 아몬드에 대하여 0.15 mg/kg, 땅콩 등 9종에 대하여 0.01 mg/kg으로 설정되어있으며, 모화합물을 잔류물의 정의로 설정하여 관리하고 있다. 코덱스(CODEX), 유럽(EC) 일본(JFCRF)에서는 잔류허용기준(MRL)과 잔류물의 정의가 설정되어 있지 않다. 호주(APVMA)에서는 trifludimoxazin과 대사체 M850H001의 합을 잔류물의 정의로 설정하였으며, MRL은 보리와 밀에 0.01 mg/kg으로 설정되어 있다. 국내에서 신규 등록 예정임에 따라 본 연구에서는 농산물 중 trifludimoxazin의 잔류량을 분석하기 위한 공정시험법을 마련하고자 하였다. Trifludimoxazin의 물리 화학적 특성을 고려하여 아세토니트릴을 추출용매로 사용하는 Quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS)법을 이용하여 추출 및 정제조건을 확립한 후 LC-MS/MS를 분석기기로 선정하였다. Trifludimoxazin의 결정계수(R2)는 모두 0.99 이상으로 우수하였으며 정량한계는 0.01 mg/kg으로 나타났다. 대표 농산물 5종(현미, 감자, 대두, 감귤, 고추)에 대하여 정량한계, 정량한계 10배, 정량한계 50배 수준으로 처리하여 회수율 실험을 한 결과 평균 회수율은(5반복) 73.5-85.3%로 나타났으며, 상대 표준편차(RSD)는 3.8% 이하로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국제식품규격위원회 농약 분석법 가이드라인의 잔류농약 분석 기준 및 식품의약품안전평가원의 식품등 시험법 마련 표준절차에 관한 가이드라인(2016)에 적합한 수준이며, 향후 공정시험법으로 활용될 예정이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 시험법에 대해 농산물 125건을 대상으로 잔류농약 모니터링을 한 결과 trifludimoxazin의 잔류량이 확인되지 않았다.

  • Background: The incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease is increasing in recent years and has been one of the leading causes of neurological dysfunction and death. Ginsenoside Rg1 has been found to protect against neuronal damage in many neurodegenerative diseases. However, the effect and mechanism by which Rg1 protects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) are not fully understood. Here, we report the neuroprotective effects of Rg1 treatment on CIRI and its possible mechanisms in mice. Methods: A bilateral common carotid artery ligation was used to establish a chronic CIRI model in mice. HT22 cells were treated with Rg1 after OGD/R to study its effect on [Ca2+]i. The open-field test and poleclimbing experiment were used to detect behavioral injury. The laser speckle blood flowmeter was used to measure brain blood flow. The Nissl and H&E staining were used to examine the neuronal damage. The Western blotting was used to examine MAP2, PSD95, Tau, p-Tau, NOX2, PLC, p-PLC, CN, NFAT1, and NLRP1 expression. Calcium imaging was used to test the level of [Ca2+]i. Results: Rg1 treatment significantly improved cerebral blood flow, locomotion, and limb coordination, reduced ROS production, increased MAP2 and PSD95 expression, and decreased p-Tau, NOX2, p-PLC, CN, NFAT1, and NLRP1 expression. Calcium imaging results showed that Rg1 could inhibit calcium overload and resist the imbalance of calcium homeostasis after OGD/R in HT22 cells. Conclusion: Rg1 plays a neuroprotective role in attenuating CIRI by inhibiting oxidative stress, calcium overload, and neuroinflammation.

  • 본 연구에서는 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 마우스를 이용하여 비지 (SCR)와 Monascus pilosus로 발효비지의 항비만 및 항산화 효능을 조사하였다. 마우스는 비지와 발효비지를 2% (wt/wt)가 되도록 고지방식이에 첨가하여 8주간 사육하였다. 비지 및 발효비지 투여군은 고지방식이 대조군과 비교할 때 모두 유의한 수준의 체중 감량, 체중 증가율, 부고환주변의 지방 함량이 낮았다. 8주째의 초기체중에 대한 체중증가율은 정상식이군 19.54%, 고지방식이군 45.40%, 비지군 33.39% 그리고 발효비지군 31.42%로 발효비지군에서 가장 낮았다. 또한 혈청의 triglyceride, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 함량 그리고 간 조직의 trigrlyceride 함량도 고지방식이로 증가된 수준에서 크게 줄어들었다. 한편 비지와 발효비지의 급여는 glutathione 함량을 높이고, 지질의 과산화, 혈청의 aminotransferase 및 xanthine oxidase의 활성을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase의 활성은 비지 및 발효비지군 모두에서 고지방식이군에 비하여 높았다. 마지막으로, 비지군과 비교할 때 발효비지군은 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 마우스에서 비정상적인 비만 관련 생화학적 지표들을 좀 더 효과적으로 정상식이군의 지표들로 회복시켜주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과, 고지방 식이로 인한 체중 증가와 복부지방의 축적 및 고지혈증과 간 조직의 지방 축적현상이 M. pilosus로 발효시킨 비지의 2% 식이로 항비만 효과와 동시에 혈액 및 간 조직 지방의 함량을 저하시켜 고지혈증으로 인해 야기될 수 있는 심혈관계 질환을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 활성산소 생성계의 활성 억제와 활성산소 소거계 활성 증가를 유도함으로서 비만 상태에서 나타날 수 있는 과잉의 활성산소에 의한 간 조직 손상을 예방 혹은 경감시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
