우리나라 중요한 식품 원료인 전통 매주로부터 분리한 단독균의 접종 메주의 암세포 저해효과를 검색하기 위하여, 민간유래의 혈액암 세포주에 대한 저해활성을 MTT assay로 분석하였다. 먼저 전통 메주로부터 21종의 단독균을 분리한 후 각각 접종하여 발효된 단독균의 메주시료를 조제한 다음 80% methanol로 추출하였다. 메주 메탄올추출물은 혈액암세포중 HL60에서는 다소 낮은 성장 저해효과를 보였으나, U937과 Jurkat cell에서는 저해효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히 Mucor속과 Absidia속 Aspergillus속으로 제조된 메주들에서 이들 혈액암세포에 대해 저해효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 모든 메주 메탄올추출물들은 인간의 정상 lymphocyte에서 대해서는 90% 이상의 높은 생존율을 나타내어 정상 세포에 대한 성장 저해 효과가 거의 없음을 보며주었다. 이는 단독균의 메주시료가 가지는 세포독성이 암세포에 대한 특이적인 작용인 것으로 나타났다.

Sophoricoside was isolated as the inhibitor of IL-5 bioactivity from Sophora japonica (Leguminosae). It has been reported to have an anti-inflammatory effect on rat paw edema model. To develope as an anti-allergic drug, genotoxicity of sophoricoside was investigated in bacterial and mammalian cell system such as Ames bacterial test, chromosomal aberration assay and single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay.(omitted)

Dehydroevodiamine HCl (DHED), which is a component separated from Evodia rutaecarpa Bentham, has novel anticholinesterase and antiamnesic activities in the scopolamine-induced amnesia model. Several studies suggest that DHED might be an effective drug for the Alzheimer's disease and the vascular type of dementia. In order to evaluate the mutagenic potential of DHED, Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay, chromosomal aberration test on Chinese hamster lung cells, in vivo micronucleus assay using mouse bone marrow cells, and comet assay were performed. DHED did not increase the number of revertant in the reverse mutation test using Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100. DHED HCl, at concentration of 5 and 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι, increased the number of chromosome aberrated Chinese hamster lung cells with 5 and 10％, respectively. In mouse micronucleus test, no significant increase in the occurrence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte was observed in ICR mice orally administered with DHED. DHED was tested for ability to induce genotoxic effect in L5178Y cells (mouse lymphoma cells) using the single cell gel electrophoresis assay (comet assay). In comet assay, tail moment did not increase in L5178Y cells treated with 10, 100, 300 $\mu$M DHED.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gathered attention as a novel bioenergy technology to simultaneously treat wastewater with less sludge production than the conventional activated sludge system. In two different operations of the MFC and aerobic process, microbial growth was determined by the protein assay method and their biomass yields using real wastewater were compared. The biomass yield on the anode electrode of the MFC was 0.02 g-COD-cell/gCOD-substrate and the anolyte planktonic biomass was 0.14 g-COD-cell/g-COD-substrate. An MFC without anode electrode resulted in the biomass yield of 0.07 ± 0.03 g-COD-cell/g-CODsubstrate, suggesting that oxygen diffusion from the cathode possibly supported the microbial growth. In a comparative test, the biomass yield under aerobic environment was 0.46 ± 0.07 g-COD-cell/g-COD-substrate, which was about 3 times higher than the total biomass value in the MFC operation.

Crocin is one of the major components of gardenia fruit and saffron which are widely used as natural food colorants and as traditional Chinese medicines. However, the genotoxicity data on crocin are not sufficient for safety evaluation. The purpose of this study was the examination of the genotoxicity on crocin from gardenia yellow in bacterial and mammalian cells, using various genotoxic battery testing assays and the influence of crocin on methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and ${H_2}{O_2}$-induced DNA damage in vitro, using single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay. From results, no considerable mutagenicity and clastogenicity were seen in bacteria and mammalian cells treated with crocin, by Ames test, chromosomal aberration assay, ${tk}^{+/-}$ gene forward mutation assay and comet assay. And, post-treatment with crocin significantly suppressed ${H_2}{O_2}$-induced DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the findings of the present study and other previous observations indicate that crocin has no genotoxic potential. And it showed that crocin clearly repressed the genotoxic potency of ${H_2}{O_2}$. These results suggest that anti-oxidative effects of crocin may be involved in the protective effects of DNA damage.

BACKGROUND: Botanical insecticides, especially Azadirachta Indica extract (AIE) and Sophorae radix extract (SRE) are widely used in Agriculture field. In our previous studies on genotoxicity test of AIE and SRE samples, a suspicious clastogenic properties was shown. Herein, we investigated the DNA damage effect of these botanical insecticide samples through the in vitro comet assay. METHODS AND RESULTS: Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cell line was used, and methyl methanesulphonate was as positive control. Respective two samples of AIE and SRE were evaluated using Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (Comet) assay and measured as the Olive tail moment (OTM). Results from this study indicated that all tested AIE and SRE samples did not show DNA damage in comet assay using CHL cells, compared with control. CONCLUSION: AIE and SRE samples used in this study were not cause genetic toxicity and are suitable for use as organic materials.

방사선에 노출된 고추유묘의 잎으로부터 세포핵을 분리하여 단세포전기영동방법인 comet 분석을 통하여 핵 DNA의 손상정도를 조사하였다. Comet 분석에서 꼬리부분의 길이 (T)와 머리부분의 길이 (H)를 측정하여 T/H 비율을 조사하였다. 무처리세포는 T/H 비율이 1.28이었으나 50 및 100 Gy의 방사선을 처리한 세포는 각각 3.54 및 3.39로 방사선처리에 의해 상당량의 핵 DNA가 손상을 입은 것으로 나타났다. Comet의 head-DNA량은 무처리가 76.8%였으나 50 및 100 Gy를 처리한 세포는 각각 55.9% 및 59.5%를 보였다. 고선량의 방사선을 처리하기 전에 미리 20 Gy 이하의 저선량 방사선을 종자에 전처리하였을 경우 종자의 발아 및 생장에 대한 영향은 없었지만, 후속 고선량에 대한 핵 DNA의 손상은 경감되는 경향을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 김치발효에 관여하는 우세 발효균들의 집락을 분리하고, 발암원인 MNNG에 대하여 이들 분리주들이 갖는 DNA 손상 억제효과를 조사하였다. 이를 위해서 세포의 DNA 손상 및 복구를 측정하는데 이용되는 매우 신속하고 감도가 높은 Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis(SCGE 법, 또는 comet assay)를 사용하였다. 배추김치에서 분리한 3개의 분리주중에서 B-3를 제외한 B-1과 B-2는 양성 대조구와 비교하였을 때 우수한 항유전 독성효과를 나타내었으며(p<0.01), 율무김치의 3 개의 분리주(Y-1, Y-2, Y-3)와 1개의 분리주(Y-4)도 각각 항유전 독성효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05, p<0.01). 총각김치의 5 개 분리주중에서 3개의 분리주와 깍두기의 9개의 분리주중에서 2 개의 분리주들도 각각 항유전 독성효과를 나타내었다(p<0.05, p<0.01).
