Arabidopsis thaliana columbia의 종자에 EMS를 처리하여 돌연변이체들을 만들었고 이중 UV-B에 감수성이 높은 돌연변이체를 골랐다. 이 UV-B 감수성 돌연변이체의 원인 유전자를 밝히기 위하여 교배 실험을 한 결과 이는 Mendel 유전법칙을 따르고 단일 유전자의 돌연변이에 의하여 나타나며 열성 유전을 하는 것으로 밝혀져 이 유전자를 uvs라 하였다. 염색체상의 uvs의 위치를 밝히기 위하여 CAPS maker를 이용한 연관분석을 하고자 하였고 이를 위하여 각각 maker의 primer 10종류를 제작하였다. 이를 이용, 각 PCR 산물에 대하여 uvs mutant와는 다른 제한효소 pattern를 갖는 Lansberg와 uvs mutant를 교배시켜서 얻은 것들로부터 DNA를 추출하여 PCR을 수행하였다. 이들과 자외선과의 감수성을 연관시켜 교차율을 계산한 결과 5번 염색체의 LFY3과 가장 가까웁게 연관되어 있었다.

UV-B증가가 지질과산화에 미치는 영향과 UV-B조사에 대한 carotenoid 및 polyamine의 지질과산화 방어반응을 조사하기 위해 자연광 이용의 인공기상실내에서 12일간 벼 (Oryza sativa L., cv. Koshihikari) 유식물에 2단계의 UV-B조사 실험을 수행했다. UV-B처리에 의한 건물량의 감소는 조사시간의 경과와 함께 증가하였다. 지질과산화산물인 malondialdehyde (MDA)의 함량은 6일간의 UV-B처리에 의해 약 30 %의 증가를 보였다. Carotenoid의 함량은 UV-B처리에 의해 약 10% 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 한편, 벼에는 크게 3종류의 polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine)이 존재하였으며, 이들 모두 UV-B처리에 의해 상당히 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, UV-B조사에 의해 생성된 활성산소가 생체막지질의 산화에 관여하는 것으로 사료되며, polyamine의 증가는 UV-B조사에 의한 세포막 파괴를 막기 위한 생화학적 방어반응으로 사료된다.

UV-B 처리가 봉선화 식물에 미치는 영향과 식물의 생화학적 방어반응을 조사하고자 3주간 UV-B (11.34 kJ $m^{-2}$) 조사 실험을 수행하였다. UV-B 처리에 의해 봉선화의 엽면적 및 건물중이 약 40% 정도 감소하였으며, MDA 함량은 50% 정도 증가한 것으로 나타났다. Glutathione 및 ascorbate acid 함량은 UV-B에 의해 산화형이 증가하고 환원형이 감소하였다. 봉선화 잎에는 주로 3종류의 polyamine이 존재하였으며, 3종류 모두 UV-B에 의해 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 항산화효소인 SOD, AP, GR 및 GP의 활성이 UV-B 처리에 의해 크게 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 UV-B 증가는 식물체내 산화스트레스를 일으키며, 이에 대해 식물의 생화학적 방어반응이 작용하는 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Betula Platyphylla(BP) has been used as a analgesic, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant drug in Eastern Asia. However, it is still unknown whether BP ethanol extract could exhibit the inhibitory activities against ultraviolet B(UVB)-induced skin injury on human keratinocytes, HaCaT cells. This study was aimed to investigate the protective activity of BP ethanol extract on UVB-irradiated skin injury in HaCaT cells. Methods: The skin injury model of HaCaT cells was established under UVB stimulation. HaCaT keratinocyte cells were pre-treated with BP ethanol extract for 1 h, and then stimulated with UVB. Then, the cells were harvested to measure the cell viability, production of reactive oxygen species(ROS), pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin(IL) 1-beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-𝛼, hyaluronidase, type 1 collagen, matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)s. In addition, we examined the mitogen activated protein kinases(MAPKs) and inhibitory kappa B alpha(I𝜅;-B𝛼) as inhibitory mechanisms of BP ethanol extract. Results: The treatment of BP ethanol extract inhibited the UVBinduced cell death and ROS production in HaCaT cells. BP ethanol extract treatment inhibited the UVB-induced increase of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-𝛼. BP ethanol extract treatment inhibited the increase of hyaluronidase, MMP and decrease of collagen. BP ethanol extract treatment inhibited the activation of MAPKs and the degradation of I𝜅-B𝛼. Conclusions: Our result suggest that treatment of BP ethanol extract could inhibit the UVB-induced skin injury via deactivation of MAPKs and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-𝜅B) in HaCaT cells. This study could suggest that BP ethanol extract could be a beneficial agent to prevent skin damage or inflammation.

Many environmental contaminants including several metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and pharmaceuticals, have been identified to be phototoxic in the water environment. Concerns regarding photo-enhancement of toxicity of several environmental contaminants have been increasing because of the increased level of ultraviolet irradiation on the earth surface. However, there exist arguments that there might be certain defense mechanisms taking place in the aquatic ecosystem, which may include behavioral characteristics or genetic acclimation. This study was conducted to understand the potential responses of aquatic receptors to several phototoxic metals in the real environment, where long-term acclimation of such organisms to low dose UV-B may take place. For this purpose, water flea Daphnia magna was acclimated to environmentally relevant dose of UV-B (12 to $18uW/cm^2$) for >11 generations. The differences in developmental and life history characteristics, and toxicity responses were evaluated. Acclimation did not affect the daphnids' growth, longevity, and reproduction characteristics such as time to first brood, and brood size: After 21 d, survival of D. magna was not influenced by UV-B acclimation. When the number of young per female was compared. the daphnids acclimated for 11 generations tend to produce less number of neonates than the un-acclimated individuals but with no statistical significance (p>0.05). Four metals that were reported to be phototoxic elsewhere were employed in this evaluation, that include As, Cd. Cu, and Ni. UV-B level being applied in acclimation did increase the toxicity of Cd and Cu, significantly (p<0.05). However, the toxicities of As and Ni were not affected by irradiation of UV-B. Phototoxic responses were evaluated between the acclimated and the un-acclimated daphnids. For Cu, UV-B acclimation led to reduction of the photo-induced toxicity $(p\approx0.1)$ in daphnids. Non-acclimated Daphnia were affected by 50% at 4.18 ug/l Cu. but UV-B acclimated individuals exhibited $EC_{50}$ of 5.89 ug/l. With Cd, UV-B acclimation appeared to increase phototoxicity (p>0.05). With As and Ni, UV-B acclimation did not influence photo-induced toxicity. This observation may be in part explained by the type of reactive oxygen species that were generated by each metal. Similar to UV-B light, Cu is known to generate superoxide anion by acting as redox cycling toxicant. This is one of the first studies that employed_laboratory based UV-B acclimated test species for photoenhanced toxicity evaluation.

Exposure of skin cells, particularly keratinocytes to various nuclear factor-kappaB ($\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$) activators [e.g. tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$, interleukin-1, lipopolysaccharides, and ultraviolet light] leads to phosphorylation and degradation of the inhibitory protein, $\textrm{I}_{{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$. Liberated $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ is translocated into the nucleus where it can change or alter expression of target genes, resulting in the secretion of extracellular signaling molecules including melanotrophic factors affecting melanocyte. In order to demonstrate the possible role of $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ activation on the synthesis of melanotrophic factors from the keratinocytes, the activities of $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ induced by melanogenic inhibitors (MIs) were determined in human HaCaT keratinocytes transfected with $\textrm{pNF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$-SEAP-NPT plasmid. Transfectant cells released the secretory alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) as a transcription reporter in response to the $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ activity and contain the neomycin phosphotransferase (NPT) gene for the dominant selection marker for geneticin resistance. MIs such as niacinamide, kojic acid, hydroquinone, resorcinol, arbutin, and glycolic acid were preincubated with transfectant HaCaT cells for 3 h and then ultraviolet B (UVB) was irradiated. $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ activation was measured with the SEAP reporter gene assay using a fluorescence detection method. Of the Mis tested, kojic acid ($IC_{50}$/ = 60 $\mu$M) was found to be the most potent inhibitor of UVB-upregulating $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ activation in transfectant HaCaT cells, which is followed by niacinamide ($IC_{50}$/= 540 $\mu$M). Pretreatment of the transfectant HaCaT cells with the Mis, especially kojic acid and niacinamide, effectively lowered $\textrm{NF}_{-{\kappa}}\textrm{B}$ binding measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Furthermore, these two inhibitors remarkably reduced the secretion level of IL-6, one of melanotrophic factors, triggered by UV-radiation of the HaCaT cells. These observations suggest that Mis working at the in vivo level might act partially through the modulation of the synthesis of melanotrophic factors in keratinocyte.

In this study we assessed the influences of ultraviolet (UV) light B radiation on epidermal cells by apoptotic sunburn cell (SBC) and the effect of green tea treatment on the inhibition of SBC formation in SKH1-hr mouse. The extent of changes following $200mJ/cm^2$ (0.5 mW/sec) was studied at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 hours after exposure. SBCs were recognized by 3 hours after irradiation. There was tendency to increase from 3 hours to 24 hours and decrease from then to 36 hours after irradiation. The mice that received 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 or $800mJ/cm^2$ of UVB were examined 24 hours after irradiation. The SBCs were induced as the radiation dose increases from 0 to $200mJ/cm^2$. A further increase of radiation dose has little further effect. The frequency of UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$)-induced SBC formation was reduced by intraperitoneal injection of green tea extract (p<0.01).

This study used Jeju scoria to dye cotton fabric and measured its dyeability, colorfastness, antibacterial activity, deodorization efficiency, ultraviolet protection, and far-infrared emission. The cotton fabric was colored to yellowish red and optimal dyeing can be achieved at a temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ for a dyeing time of 120 minutes with a colorant concentration of 25%(o.w.b). The colorfastness to light, rubbing, perspiration, and washing was 8, 5, 5, and 4~5 ratings respectively, where the wash colorfastness remained after 15 wash cycles. The cotton fabric dyed with Jeju scoria demonstrated excellent antimicrobial activity to Staphylococcus aureus and high deodorization efficiency. Ultraviolet protection factor was as high as 50+. The Jeju scoria can be used as a new colorant for the natural dyeing of silk.
