본 연구는 조리과정 중의 콩나물을 데치기 전, 데친 후, 무친 후로 나누어 조리한 뒤 항산화 관련 물질의 함량과 항산화 효능을 비교 측정하여 한국 고유의 조리방법인 나물의 우수성을 알리고자 하였다. 조리과정을 달리한 콩나물을 80% 에탄올에서 추출한 수율은 데치기 전 1.42%, 데친 후 0.65%, 무친 후 6.50%로 무친 후가 가장 높았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 무친 것이 $79.52{\pm}1.41$ mg GAE/100 g FW로 가장 높았으며 총 플라보노이드의 경우에도 무친 것이 $6.21{\pm}0.16$ mg CE/100 g FW로 가장 높은 함량을 보였다. 4가지의 항산화 활성(DPPH assay, ABTS assay, FRAP assay, reducing power)에서도 무친 후의 콩나물이 가장 우수한 활성을 보였고 데치기 전, 데친 후의 순서로 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드의 함량과 항산화 활성이 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 항산화 효능 면에서 콩나물을 섭취할 경우 가능하면 물에 장시간 끓이는 조리법은 피하고 무치는 조리법을 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다.

Most angiogenesis assays are performed using endothelial cells. However, blood vessels are composed of two cell types: endothelial cells and pericytes. Thus, co-culture of two vascular cells should be employed to evaluate angiogenic properties. Here, we developed an in vitro 3-dimensional angiogenesis assay system using spheroids formed by two human vascular precursors: endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). ECFCs, MSCs, or ECFCs+MSCs were cultured to form spheroids. Sprout formation from each spheroid was observed for 24 h by real-time cell recorder. Sprout number and length were higher in ECFC+MSC spheroids than ECFC-only spheroids. No sprouts were observed in MSC-only spheroids. Sprout formation by ECFC spheroids was increased by treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or combination of VEGF and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). Interestingly, there was no further increase in sprout formation by ECFC+MSC spheroids in response to VEGF or VEGF+FGF-2, suggesting that MSCs stimulate sprout formation by ECFCs. Immuno-fluorescent labeling technique revealed that MSCs surrounded ECFC-mediated sprout structures. We tested vatalanib, VEGF inhibitor, using ECFC and ECFC+MSC spheroids. Vatalanib significantly inhibited sprout formation in both spheroids. Of note, the $IC_{50}$ of vatalanib in ECFC+MSC spheroids at 24 h was $4.0{\pm}0.40{\mu}M$, which are more correlated with the data of previous animal studies when compared with ECFC spheroids ($0.2{\pm}0.03{\mu}M$). These results suggest that ECFC+MSC spheroids generate physiologically relevant sprout structures composed of two types of vascular cells, and will be an effective pre-clinical in vitro assay model to evaluate pro- or anti-angiogenic property.

Objectives : As a substitute for high-price ginseng, this study attempted to examine a possibility of the ferment extract of Panax ginseng sprout whether leaves and roots can be used together as a cosmetic ingredient with anti-oxidative and wrinkle-care effects. Methods : In terms of a test method, antioxidant activities were confirmed through total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity using the Panax ginseng sprout. In addition, to assess wrinkle-care effectiveness, the cytotoxicity of the extract was analyzed through MTT assay, and inhibition of collagenase activity in the cells was tested using the Panax ginseng sprout fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Resuits : The content of polyphenols and flavonoids in natural plants was highest in Panax Ginseng Sprout Extract at 100℃, which also demonstrated high DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity. MTT assay demonstrated that the Panax Ginseng Sprout Ferment Extract did not have a cytotoxic effect in CCD-986SK cell. Also, Panax Ginseng Sprout Ferment Extract was found to inhibit MMP-1 expression by 51.85±6.09% at a concentration of 10%. Conclusions : Therefore, this study has confirmed a possibility of Panax ginseng sprout ferment extract as a cosmetic ingredient with MMP-1-inhibitory effects.

Background: Brassica oleracea var. italica (broccoli), a rich source of antioxidants, can prevent various diseases and improve human health. In this study, we investigated the antioxidative effects of broccoli sprout extract on oxidative stress induced by lipopolysaccharide and cisplatin in cell and organ tissue models. Methods: Antioxidative effect of BSE was evaluated using DPPH and ABTS in RAW 364.7 cells, and effects of BSE on testes were investigated using Cisplatin-induced testicular damage model with an in vitro organ culture system. Results: The DPPH assay showed that the antioxidant activity of the alcoholic broccoli sprout extract was higher than that of the water extract. Additionally, the expression levels of antioxidation-related genes, Nrf2, Gsr, HO-1, and catalase, were significantly increased in broccoli sprout extract-treated RAW 264.7 cells, and the extract suppressed lipopolysaccharide-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the results in the RAW 264.7 cell culture, the antioxidative effects of the extracts were investigated in a mouse testis fragment culture. The expression of Nrf2, HO-1, and Ddx4 was clearly decreased in cisplatin-treated mouse testis fragments and not in both broccoli sprout extract- and cisplatin-treated mouse testis fragments. In addition, the oxidative marker O-HdG was strongly detected in cisplatin-treated mouse testis fragments, and these signals were reduced by broccoli sprout extract treatment. Conclusions: The results of this study show that broccoli sprout extracts could serve as potential nutraceutical agents as they possess antioxidant effects in the testes.

The purpose of this study was to examine biological activities, including total contents of polyphenol, antioxidant activities, inhibitory activities of tyrosinase, and protective effect against oxidative stress in the HepG2 cells of ethanol extracts from wheat sprout. The antioxidant activity of extracts was determined by ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Ethanol extracts were tested using different ethanol concentrations (0%, 30%, 50%, 80% and 95%, respectively). The highest amount of total polyphenol was extracted by 50% and 80% ethanol which was 26.3 and 26.8 mg gallic acid equivalents/g sample, respectively. High levels of ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity were found in 50% ethanol (26.7 and 15.0 mg TEAC/g sample, respectively) and 80% (24.3 and 16.1 mg TEAC/g sample, respectively) ethanol extracts. Also, 50% and 80% ethanol extracts indicated higher inhibitory activities of tyrosinase compared with other extracts. In the cell-based assay, pre-treatment of the HepG2 cells with wheat sprout extracts prevented the cell damage induced by TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide). The results of this study indicate that wheat sprout has significantly higher diverse biological activities and apparently has significant health benefits.

CP4 EPSPS에 대한 특이항체(다클론 및 단클론)을 이용하여 확립한 전보의 sandwich ELISA 분석법을 원료 콩의 GMO 분석에 적용가능한 가를 검토하였다. 원료 콩은 수입산 47점, 국산 20점을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수입산 콩의 CP4 EPSPS 분석치는 크게 두 군으로 나뉘어 높은 군$(39.1{\pm}13.5{\mu}g/g,\;n=33)$과 낮은 군$(2.6{\pm}1.2{\mu}g/g,\;n=14)$으로 나타났다. 수입산 콩의 GMO 비율은 약 70.2%로 나타났다. 한편, 국산 콩의 CP4 EPSPS의 함량 $(0.9{\pm}0.5{\mu}g/g,\;n=20)$은 아주 낮은 것으로 나타났고 이는 non-GMO인 것으로 판단되었다. 콩나물의 경우에 GM과 non-GM 간 CP4 EPSPS의 차이를 보이고 있었고 GM 콩나물의 자엽부에서 뿌리보다 높은 CP4 EPSPS의 함량을 보여주고 있다. 국산 콩으로 만든 콩나물의 경우 CP4 EPSPS의 함량은 아주 낮은 것으로 나타나 GM과 non-GM 콩간의 구분이 가능하였다. 또한 PCR에 의해 sandwich ELISA가 정확하다는 것을 보여주었다. 이상과 같이 sandwich ELISA 방법은 신속, 간편하게 많은 콩 시료의 GMO 여부를 판단할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

3T3-L1 preadipocyte were differentiated to adipocytes, and then treated with 0, 10, 20, and $40{\mu}g/mL$ of peanut sprout ethanol extract (PSEE). The main component of PSEE is resveratrol which contained 5.55 mg/mL of resveratrol. The MTT assay, Oil-Red O staining, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, and the triglyceride concentration were determined in 3T3-L1 cells. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities as well as mRNA expressions of C/EBP ${\beta}$ and C/EBP ${\alpha}$ were also investigated. As the concentration of PSEE in adipocytes increased, the cell proliferation was decreased in a dose-dependent manner from 4 days of incubation (P < 0.05). The GDPH activity (P < 0.05) and the triglyceride concentration (P < 0.05) were decreased as the PSEE treatment concentration increased. The mRNA expression of C/EBP${\beta}$ in 3T3-L1 cells was significantly low in groups of PSEE-treated, compared with control group (P < 0.05). The MMP-9 (P < 0.05) and MMP-2 (P < 0.05) activities were decreased in a dose-dependent manner as the PSEE concentration increased from $20{\mu}g/mL$. In conclusion, it was found that PSEE has an effect on restricting proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes.
