  • Phellinus linteus (PL), one of the immune-regulatory substances, is recognized to play the role in the metabolic process on inflammation and immunity. It has been traditionally used in the oriental medicine to treat inflammatory related disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of water extracts of PL on the mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes immune function in the ICR male mice. Control mice received vehicle only. The PL treated mice were administered the respective extract by oral gavages for 4 weeks. IgE concentrations in serum and MLN lymphocytes were significantly lower in PL treated mice than in control mice. PL increased the proportion of $CD4^+\;and\;CD8^+$ T cells in MLN lymphocytes. PL significantly decreased Th2 cytokine concentrations and mRNA expression levels in cytokine secretions. Therefore, water extracts of PL modulate inflammatory parameters through regulation of immunoglobulin production resulting from decreased Th2 cytokine secretion and mRNA expression levels and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and mRNA expression in MLN lymphocytes.

  • LysR-type transcriptional regulators (LTTRs) contain an N-terminal DNA binding domain (DBD) and a C-terminal regulatory domain (RD). Typically, LTTRs function as homotetramers. VV2_1132 was identified in Vibrio vulnificus as an LTTR that is a homologue of HypT (also known as YjiE or QseD) in Escherichia coli. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of full-length VV2_1132 at a resolution of $2.2{\AA}$, thereby revealing a novel combination of the domains in the tetrameric assembly. Only one DBD dimer in the tetramer can bind to DNA, because the DNA binding motifs of the other DBD dimer are completely buried in the tetrameric assembly. Structural and functional analyses of VV2_1132 suggest that it might not perform the same role as E. coli HypT, indicating that further study is required to elucidate the function of this gene in V. vulnificus. The unique structure of VV2_1132 extends our knowledge of LTTR function and mechanisms of action.

  • This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution For decades, Spergularia marina, a local food that is popular in South Korea, has been regarded as a nutritious source of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. While several halophytes are reported to possess distinct bioactivities, S. marina has yet to be promoted as a natural source of bioactives. In this study, the effects of S. marina on the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and the osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and C2C12 myoblast cells were evaluated. The anti-adipogenic effect of S. marina was assessed by measuring lipid accumulation and adipogenic differentiation marker expression. S. marina treatment significantly reduced lipid accumulation and notably decreased the gene levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein ${\alpha}$, and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c. In addition, S. marina enhanced osteoblast differentiation, as indicated by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and increased levels of osteoblastogenesis indicators, namely bone morphogenetic protein-2, osteocalcin, and type I collagen. In conclusion, S. marina could be a source of functional food ingredients that improve osteoporosis and obesity. Further studies, including activity-based fractionation, will elucidate the mechanism of action and active ingredients of S. marina, which would provide researchers with a better understanding of the nutraceutical and therapeutic applications of S. marina.

  • The abnormal content of blood lipids often results in metabolic diseases, such as hyperlipidemia and obesity. Many agents, including natural sources from traditional food, have been developed to regulate the blood lipid contents. In this study, we examined the anti-hyperlipidemic activity of Rhynchosia nulubilis seeds pickled with brown rice vinegar (RNSpBRV), a Korean traditional pickled soybean food. Since RNSpBRV is made of R. nulubilis seeds (RNS) soaked in brown rice vinegar (BRV), we compared the anti-adipogenic activity between RNS, BRV and solid fraction of RNSpBRV (SF-RNSpBRV), liquid fraction of RNSpBRV (LF-RNSpBRV). For this, the inhibitory effect of lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was checked by adding methanol extracts of mixed RNS and BRV, LF-RNSpBRV, and SF-RNSpBRV. The addition of each methanol extract up to 1 mg/ml showed no cytotoxicity on 3T3-L1 adipocyte, and approximately 20% of the lipid droplet formation was suppressed with the methanol extract of BRL or SF-RNSpBRV. The highest suppression (42.1%) was achieved with LF-RNSpBRV. In addition, mice fed a high fat diet (HFD) supplemented with 5% RNSpBRV powder led to increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lower blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol compared to mice fed with a HFD diet only. Interestingly, the size of the epididymis cells gradually decreased in HFD + 1% RNSpBRV and HFD + 5% RNSpBRV-fed mice if compared those of HFD-fed mice. Taken together, these results provide evidence that RNSpBRV has a regulatory role in lipid metabolism that is related to hyperlipidemia.

  • In many cases, obesity is associated with metabolic disorders. Recently, natural compounds that may be beneficial for improving obesity have received increasing attention. Bitter melon has received attention as a diabetes treatment. $NAD^+$-dependent deacetylase (Sirtuin 1, SIRT1) has emerged as a novel therapeutic target for metabolic diseases. In this study, ethanol extract of bitter melon (BME) suppressed adipocyte differentiation and significantly increased the expression of SIRT1 in fully differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. Moreover, it enhanced the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). In high-fat diet (HFD)-fed induced-obesity mice, BME suppressed HFD-induced increases in body weight and white adipose tissue (WAT) weight. BME also increased the expression of SIRT1 and suppressed peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 expressions of WAT from HFD-fed mice. These findings suggest that BME prevents obesity by activating the SIRT1 and AMPK pathway and that it may be a useful dietary supplement for preventing obesity.

  • In the present study, the estrogenic activity and anti-osteoclastogenic activity of the Myelophycus simplex extract were evaluated using T47D-Kbluc cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). As a result of the measurement of the estrogenic activity in the T47D-Kbluc cell line, the Myelophycus simplex extract showed increased estrogenic activity in a dose-dependent manner in association with its concentration. To confirm the regulatory effect of the Myelophycus simplex extract on the estrogen-responsive gene, the Myelophycus simplex extract showed a similar tendency to estradiol: the expression of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) was significantly decreased while the expression of estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) was increased. Furthermore, the Myelophycus simplex extract exhibited an inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation. In conclusion, these Myelophycus simplex extracts might be regarded as candidates for further studies or the development of functional food products or medicine to prevent or avoid postmenopausal symptoms for women.

  • Juglans mandshurica Maxim. walnut (JMW) is well-known for the treatment of dermatosis, cancer, gastritis, diarrhea, and leukorrhea in Korea. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its antiobesity activity remains unknown. In the current study, we aimed to determine whether JMW can influence adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and high-fat diet rats and determine the antioxidant activity. The 20% ethanol extract of JMW (JMWE) had a total polyphenol content of 133.33 ± 2.60 mg GAE/g. Considering the antioxidant capacity, the ABTS and DPPH values of 200 ㎍/ml of JMWE were 95.69 ± 0.94 and 79.38 ± 1.55%, respectively. To assess the anti-obesity activity of JMWE, we analyzed the cell viability, fat accumulation, and adipogenesis-related factors, including CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). We found that total lipid accumulation and triglyceride levels were reduced, and the fat accumulation rate decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, JMWE suppressed adipogenesis-related factors C/EBPα, PPARγ, and SREBP1c, as well as FAS and ACC, both related to lipogenesis. Moreover, animal experiments revealed that JMWE could be employed to prevent and treat obesity-related diseases. Hence, JMWE could be developed as a healthy functional food and further explored as an anti-obesity drug.

  • 당귀, 복분자, 마황의 추출공정 요인별 [추출온도 $(40^{\circ}C,\;60^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C)$, 초음파 병행 (처리조건 : 초음파별) 추출]에 따른 추출물들의 분획물들의 추출수율 증진 및 생산성 향상이 가능한 공정 개발을 위하적 공정 요인에 따라 추출과 분획을 실시하였다. 그 중 모든 분획 추출물 들 중에서 $60^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 40kHz의 초음파 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층 수율이 59.63%로 다른 추출 공정에 비하여 가장 높게 나타났으며, 당귀 water 분획층의 수율은 50.17%로 나타나 water 분획층의 수율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform 분획층의 순서로 수율이 나타난 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이것으로 $60^{\circ}C$의 40 kHz 초음파 병행 추출 공정이 생산성이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 면역활성 증진 효과에서 인간의 면역세포인 B, T 세포에 대한 생육 활성도를 각 공정별 추출물을 이용하여 측정한 결과 $60^{\circ}C$의 40 kHz의 초음파 병행 추출물의 water 분획물에서 180% 이상의 높은 생육 활성도를 나타내었고, butanol 분획물에서는 160% 이상의 높은 생육 활성도를 나타내었다. Cytokines 분비량은 면역 세포에 대한 활성 실험에서 효과가 가장 높게 나타났던 추출공정인 $60^{\circ}C$의 40 kHz 초음파 병행 추출물의 water 분획층과 butanol 분획층을 이용하여 분획물 실험을 행하였다. B세포에서의 IL-6 분비량에 복분자 water 분획충이 1.0 g/l에서 5일째 $17{\times}10^{-4}\;ph/cell$로 가장 높은 증진 효과를 나타내었으며, butanol 분획층이 $16.8{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$의 증진효과를 보였고, 마황과 당귀 water 분획층이 각각 $16.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell,\;16.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$의 증진효과를 보였다 B 세포에서의 $TNF-{\alpha}$분비량은 복분자 water 분획층이 1.0 g/l에서 5일째 $18{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 가장 증진 효과가 크게 나타났다. 이것은 세포의 생육이 시간에 따라 증가됨으로서 그에 따른 cytokines의 분비량도 시간에 따라 증가하는 것으로 사료된다. 추출공정 요인인 온도와, 초음파를 달리하여 그것의 분획물인 water 분획층과 butanol 분획층에 대한 T 세포에서의 cytokine 분비량을 측정한 결과 온도의 변화를 준 추출공정에서의 IL-6분비량은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 가장 좋은 분비량을 나타낸 것으로 복분자가 $18.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 가장 높은 증진 효과를 나타내었다. 마황과 당귀 또한 $60^{\circ}C$로 추출하였을 때, 1.08배, 1.04배 높은 분비량을 나타내었다. 또한 초음파의 주파수의 변화를 주어 추출한 것으로 T세포의 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 분비량을 측정한 결과 40 kHz의 초음파 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층이 1.0 g/l 농도에서 $20.4{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 60 kHz로 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층의 $19.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$보다 높은 분비량을 나타내었다. 당귀와 마황에서도 40 kHz의 초음파로 병행 추출한 것이 더 높은 분비량을 나타내었다. NK-cell의 활성도를 공정 요인별로 측정한 결과 가장 좋은 활성도를 나타낸 것으로는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 40 kHz의 초음파로 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층 이 배양 6일째 날 1.0 g/l의 농도에서 97%, butanol 분획층은 93%의 활성증진을 보여 초음파 병행 추출하지 많은 것과 다른 온도 조건에 비해 높은 생육 활성도를 나타내었다. 그리고 당귀 분획물 또한 $60^{\circ}C$, 40 kHz의 초음파 추출물의 water 분획층과 butanol 분획층에서 각 92%와 80%의 활성 증진을 나타내 다른 추출 공정보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이것으로 알 수 있듯이 생체 방어 기능을 증진 시킬 수 있는 최적의 추출공정으로는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 40 kHz의 초음파를 병행하여 추출하는 것으로 사료된다. 세포 분화활성도의 측정 결과는 복분자 water분획층이 가장 높은 세포 분화 활성도를 나타내었고, 또한 복분자와 마황의 분획물이 crude 상태의 초음파 병행 추출물에 비해 최고 20% 이상의 분화 활성도를 나타내는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • 최근 연구에서 활성 산소 및 비만에 대한 유전자 발현이 비만과 노화를 촉진시키는 원인으로 주목 받고 있으며, 이를 통해 노화와 비만의 억제 체계를 규명하려는 다양한 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 전국 각지의 산야지에 자생하며 농가에서 재배하기도 하는 국화과에 속하는 식물인 참취(Aster scaber Thunb.) 메탄올 추출물의 항산화력과 3T3-L1 전구지방세포의 지방세포형성과정에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 참취 메탄올 추출물에 존재하는 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 $57.07{\pm}2.17$, $54.62{\pm}2.24{\mu}g/mg$으로 나타났다. 시료의 DPPH, ABTS radical 소거 활성을 측정한 결과 $RC_{50}$값이 각각 $22.24{\pm}0.40$, $53.19{\pm}1.61{\mu}g/mL$로 우수한 항산화 효과를 나타냈다. 참취의 메탄올 추출물이 3T3-L1 전구지방세포에서 분화유도 물질(IBMX, DEXA, Insulin)과 함께 처리했을 때 지방구의 형성을 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰다. 또한 이들은 지방세포의 증식 및 분화되는 과정에서 발현되는 adipogenic transcription factor 및 관련 유전자의 단백질 발현과 mRNA 발현을 유의적으로 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 참취 메탄올 추출물을 이용하여 항비만에 우수한 효능을 가지는 기능성 식품 소재로서의 개발이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
