An antioxidative activity of Portulaca oleracea was tested by in vitro experimental models. The antioxidative activities were determined by evaluation the DPPH radical scavenging activity and by measuring lipid peroxide using 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA). The crude extract was sequentially partitioned with n-hexane, 15% aq. MeOH, EtOAc, n-BuOH, $H_2O$. Among them, a remarkable antioxidative effect was observed in the fractions of EtOAc and n-BuOH. The DPPH radical scavenging effect $(IC_{50}=17.90{\mu}g/ml)$ of the n-BuOH soluble fraction was comparable with that of natural antioxidant, ${\alpha}-tocopherol(IC_{50}=\;6.99{\mu}g/ml)$ and the inhibitory effect of lipid peroxidation in mouse liver homogenate was similar to that of natural antioxidant, L-ascorbic acid at a concentration of 0.1mg/ml to 5mg/ml. From the BuOH soluble fraction yielded two biophenolic glycosides, 3-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenyl-4-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(1) and 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(2) using column chromatography and revered-phase HPLC. In particular, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of 2 was comparable to that tocopherol$(IC_{50}=6.59{\mu}g/ml)$.

신규 미백 소재 개발을 위하여 tyrosinase의 활성을 억제하는 천연물과, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH)을 저해하는 펩타이드를 결합한 소재를 고체상 합성법으로 제조하였다[1,2]. Tyrosinase 활성 억제 효능이 있는 천연유래물질을 기존 연구를 바탕으로 선정하였으며, 이중에서 상업화 된 물질 17종에 대해 Mushroom Tyrosinase 활성 억제 효과를 측정하여, 그 중 caffeic acid, coumaric acid를 선별하였다. 펩타이드는 $\alpha$-MSH 분비를 억제하며, tyrosinase활성을 억제하는 것으로 알려진 melanostatin을 선정하였으며[3-5], PLG-$NH_2$ (Proline-Leucine-Glycine-$NH_2$) 중에서 유도체화 수율의 저하 원인으로 예상되는 Proline (Pro)의 서열을 다른 아미노산으로 변경하면서 선별된 천연물인 coumaric acid와 caffeic acid에 도입하였다. 또한 최종물질의 원가를 고려하여 acid-amide 형태를 acid형태로 전환한 유도체를 합성하였다. 이들 펩타이드 유도체들에 대해서 B16F1 melanoma cell에서의 멜라닌 생성 억제 효능을 평가하여 유도체화된 물질이 기존의 천연유래물질이나 펩타이드에 비하여 높은 저해효과를 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

In vertebrates, the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, binds the biologically active ligand $1{\alpha},25-(OH)_2$-vitamin $D_3$ (1,25 $D_3$). Nearly all vertebrates, including Agnatha, possess a VDR with high ligand selectivity for 1,25 $D_3$ and related metabolites. Although a putative ancestral VDR gene is present in the genome of the chordate invertebrate Ciona intestinalis, the functional characteristics of marine invertebrate VDR are still obscure. To elucidate the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi VDR (HrVDR), we cloned full-length HrVDR cDNA and investigated the transcriptional activity of HrVDR in HEK293 cells. HrVDR consists of 1,680 nucleotides (559 amino acids [aa]), including a short N-terminal region (A/B domain; 26 aa), DNA-binding domain (C domain; 72 aa), hinge region (D domain; 272 aa), and C-terminal ligand-binding domain (E domain; 161 aa). The amino acid sequence identity of HrVDR was greatest to that of C. intestinalis VDR (56%). In the luciferase reporter assays, the transcriptional activity of HrVDR was not significantly increased by 1,25 $D_3$, whereas the farnesoid X receptor agonist GW4064 increased the transactivation of HrVDR. These results suggest the presence of a novel ligand for and a distinct ligand-binding domain in ascidian VDR.

죽상동맥경화는 대동맥의 만성염증에 의해 주로 발병되는 폐쇄동맥질환이다. 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 이동은 죽상동맥경화 발병의 주된 병리적 반응이다. 본 연구에서는 죽상동맥경화 발병기전을 유도하는 표적 염증반응 물질의 탐색 및 이들에 의한 신호전달 기전을 연구하였다. 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 이동은 prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}$ ($PGF_{2{\alpha}}$)에 의해 의미 있게 증가하였으나 tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$ ($TNF{\alpha}$)에 의해서는 증가하지 않았다. Prostacyclin $I_2$ ($PGI_2$)는 혈관평활근세포의 증식은 촉진시켰으나 이동은 오히려 억제하였다. prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) 및 prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$)는 혈관평활근세포의 증식을 촉진시켰으나 이동에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$는 용량 의존적으로 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 이동을 촉진시켰고 EC50는 약 $0.1{\mu}M$로 관찰되었다. 혈관평활근세포에서 phospholipase $C-{\beta}3$ ($PLC-{\beta}3$) 아형의 발현은 매우 높았으나 $PLC-{\beta}1$, $PLC-{\beta}2$, 및 $PLC-{\beta}4$의 발현은 관찰되지 않았다. U73122 처리를 통해 PLC의 활성을 억제하면 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$에 의한 혈관평활근세포의 이동이 억제되었다. 또한 $PLC-{\beta}3$의 발현을 억제하면 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$에 의한 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 이동이 억제되었다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ 는 혈관평활근세포의 증식 및 이동에 중요한 역할을 수행하고, 여기에는 $PLC-{\beta}3$가 필수적인 역할을 담당하고 있음을 제안한다.

Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and acrylamide are unintended hazardous substances generated by heating or processing of foods and are known as carcinogenic and mutagenic agents by the animal experiments. A simple method was established for a rapid and accurate determination of 12 types of HCAs (IQ, MeIQ, Glu-P-1, Glu-P-2, MeIQx, Trp-P-1, Trp-P-2, PhIP, $A{\alpha}C$, $MeA{\alpha}C$, Harman and Norharman) and acrylamide in three food matrices (non-fat liquid, non-fat solid and fat solid) by isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In every sample, a mixture of internal standards including $IQ-d_3$, $MeIQx-d_3$, $PhIP-d_3$, $Trp-P-2-^{13}C_2-^{15}N$ and $MeA{\alpha}C-d_3$ was spiked for quantification of HCAs and $^{13}C_3$-acrylamide was also spiked for the analysis of acrylamide. HCAs and acrylamide in sample were extracted with acetonitrile and water, respectively, and then two solid-phase extraction cartridges, ChemElut: HLB for HCAs and Accucat: HLB for acrylamide, were used for efficiently removing interferences such as pigment, lipid, polar, nonpolar and ionic compounds. Established method was validated in terms of recovery, accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, and linearity. This method showed good precision (RSD < 20%), accuracy (71.8~119.1%) and recovery (66.0~118.9%). The detection limits were < 3.1 ng/g for all analytes. The correlation coefficients for all the HCAs and acrylamide were > 0.995, showing excellent linearity. These methods for the detection of HCAs and acrylamide by LC-MS/MS were applied to real samples and were successfully used for quantitative monitoring in the total diet study and this can be applied to risk assessment in various food matrices.

An in vitro bioassay-guide revealed that the methanol (MeOH) extract of the whole plant of Patrinia saniculaefolia (Valerianaceae) showed cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) dual inhibitory activity by assessing their effects on the production of prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) and leukotriene $C_4$ ($LTC_4$) in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Phytochemical study of the MeOH extract of this plant led to the isolation of twelve compounds; ${\beta}$-farnesene (1), squalene (2), nardostachin (3), patridoid I (4), patridoid II (5), patridoid II-A (6), oleanolic acid (7), oleanonic acid (8), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (9), oleanolic acid 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranoside (10), oleanolic acid 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (11), oleanolic acid 3-O-[${\beta}$-D-xylopyranosyl-(1${\rightarrow}$3)-${\beta}$-D-(6-O-butyl)glucuronopyranoside] (12). Among the compounds, 4 and 5 strongly inhibited both the COX-2-dependent $PGD_2$ generation with $IC_{50}$ values of 8.7 and 13.6 ${\mu}M$, respectively, and the generation of $LTC_4$ in the 5-LOX dependent phase with $IC_{50}$ values of 41.7 and 46.9 ${\mu}M$, respectively, which suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of P. saniculaefolia might occur in part via the inhibition of both $PGD_2$ and $LTC_4$ generation by 4 and 5.

Purpose : We performed the present study to investigate whether osteotropic hormomes play roles on the nitric oxide (NO) production in culture of ROS 17/12.8 osteoblastic cells. Materials and Methods : The osteoblastic cell line ROS17/2.8 cells were cultured In F12 medium supplemented with $5\%$ fetal bovine serum (FBS) at $37^{\circ}C$ in a humidified atmosphere of $5\%\;CO_2$ in air. ROS17/2.8 cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of $2-3\times10^3cells/well$ and grown to confluence. Then the cells were pretreated with osteotropic hormones (parathyroid hormone (PTH) 20-500 ng/mL, 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol $(1,\;25[OH]_2D_3)$ 1-100 nM; prostaglandin $E_2 (PGE_2)$ 20-500 ng/mL in the medium supplemented with $0.4\%$ FBS for 72 hours and the cells were treated with cytokines $(TNF{\alpha}\;and\;IFN{\gamma})$ in phenol red-free F12 medium for an additional 48 hours. NO synthesis was assessed by measuring the nitrite anion concentration, the reaction product of NO, in the cell culture medium using Griess reagent. Results : PTH and $1,\;25[OH]_2D_3$ pretreatment induced a significant increase in NO production in the presence of $TNF{\alpha}\;and\;IFN{\gamma}.\;PGE_2$ slightly induced NO production compared to the control group. But, $PGE_2$ pretreatment did not affect in NO production in the presence of $TNF{\alpha}\;and\;IFN{\gamma}$. Conclusions : These results suggest that the actions of osteotropic hormones In bone metabolism may be partially mediated by NO in the presence of cytokines.
