Recently, interest in food-derived bioactive peptides as promising ingredients for the prevention and improvement of hypertension is increasing. The purpose of this study was to determine the structure and antihypertensive effect of an antioxidant peptide purified from velvet antler in a previous study and evaluate its potential as a various bioactive peptide. Molecular weight (MW) and amino acid sequences of the purified peptide were determined by quadrupole time-of-flight electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy. The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity of the purified peptide was assessed by enzyme reaction methods and in silico molecular docking analysis to determine the interaction between the purified peptide and ACE. Also, antihypertensive effect of the purified peptide in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) was investigated. The purified antioxidant peptide was identified to be a pentapeptide Asp-Asn-Arg-Tyr-Tyr with a MW of 730.31 Da. This pentapeptide showed potent inhibition activity against ACE (IC₅₀ value, 3.72 μM). Molecular docking studies revealed a good and stable binding affinity between purified peptide and ACE and indicated that the purified peptide could interact with HOH2570, ARG522, ARG124, GLU143, HIS387, TRP357, and GLU403 residues of ACE. Furthermore, oral administration of the pentapeptide significantly reduced blood pressure in SHRs. The pentapeptide derived from enzymatic hydrolysate of velvet antler is an excellent ACE inhibitor. It might be effectively applied as an animal-based functional food ingredient.

The jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai was hydrolyzed with papain and a novel dipeptide purified via ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography with Sephadex LH-20, and reverse phase chromatography using $C_{18}$ and $C_{12}$ columns. The IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectrometer analyses showed that the dipeptide comprised tyrosine-isoleucine (Tyr-Ile). The $IC_{50}$ and $K_i$ values were $6.56{\pm}1.12$ and $3.10{\pm}0.28\;{\mu}M$, respectively, indicating competitive inhibition of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE). As a novel ACE-inhibitory active peptide, Tyr-Ile may have potential for use in antihypertensive therapy.

To produce bioactive compound enriched yeast using medicinal Gugiga (Lycium chinensis Mill), several edible Saccharomyces species were cultured in Gugija extracts added yeast extract, peptone and dextrose medium (GE - YEPD medium) at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr, and their growth were determined. Growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae K-7 and Sacchromyces cerevisiae ACTC 7904 were better than those of the other yeasts. Two yeasts were selected and then determined their some physiological functionalities after cultivated the yeasts in the GE - YEPD medium and compared those grown on YEPD medium. Antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of S. cerevisiae K-7 grown on GE - YEPD medium was about 20% higher than that grown on YEPD medium. Superoxide dismutase-like activity of S. cerevisiae ACTC 7904 was also about 12% more high. However, the other physiological functionalities were almost same or lower. Optimal addition concentration of Gugija extract was 10%, and maximally growth and ACE inhibitory activity of S. cerevisiae K-7 were shown when the strain was cultured in 10% Gugija extracts containing YEPD medium at $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 hr.

목 적 : Cyclosporine(CsA)는 면역 억제제로서 중요한 역할을 하고 있지만 가장 중요한 부작용인 신독성 때문에 사용에 제한이 있다. 이에 저염식이를 한 쥐에서 유발되는 만성 CsA 신증에서 angiotensin converting enzyme 억제제(ACEI)가 미치는 영향을 검색하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 흰 쥐를 대상으로 하여 표준식이(NSD), 저염식이(LSD), NSD+CsA. LSD+CsA, NSD+CsA+ACEI, LSD+CsA+ACEI를 1-6군으로 분류하여 공급하였다. 6주 후 혈중 CsA농도, 혈청 sodium, potassium, GFR을 측정하였고, 신장의 조직검사를 시행하였다. 성 적 : 혈중 CsA농도와 sodium치는 각 군간에 차이가 없었고 potassium치는 CsA 단독 투여시에는 식이군간에 차이가 없었으나, CsA와 ACEI를 병용 투여시에는 NSD군에 비해서 LSD군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. (P<0.05). 사구체 여과율은 CsA만 투여한 경우나 CsA와 ACEI를 병용투여한 경우에서 NSD군에 비해 LSD군에서 유의하게 감소하였고 NSD를 시행한 경우에서는 CsA만 투여한 경우보다 ACEI를 병용투여했을 때 GFR이 더 감소하였다 (P<0.05). 조직학적 소견은 CsA투여에 의한 근위부 세뇨관 위축, 간질의 섬유화와 PAS염색 양성인 과립들이 출현하였고 이는 NSD군보다 LSD군에서 더 저명하였으며 ACEI를 병용시에도 LSD군에서 이러한 변화가 더 저명하게 관찰되었으나 ACEI 투여 전과는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서는 염분 부족은 renin-angiotensin system을 활성화해서 CsA 신증을 더욱 가중시키며, ACEI는 LSD로 유발된 CsA 신증에서 신기능의 화학적 지표와 조직학적으로 더욱 악화시컸다. 이 결과로 LSD로 인해 더욱 조장될 수 있는 간접적인 신허혈 상태에서는 ACEI는 신관류를 개선하지 못하고, 이로 인해 신독성이 더욱 악화될 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

당뇨병성 망막증의 당뇨병 합병증의 주요한 증상중의 하나로 망막의 구조적 기능적 변화를 초래한다. 레닌-안지오텐신 시스템은 당뇨병성 망막증의 발병에 주요한 역할을 담당하며 angiotensin I을 angiotensin II로 전환하는 데 담당하는 안지오텐신 전환 효소 (ACE)는 레닌-안지오텐신 시스템의 주요한 요소이다. VEGF는 실명을 일으키는 당뇨병성 망막증의 신생혈관 생성에 관여하는 주요한 인자로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 당뇨병성 망막증의 발생 기전 중 하나로 최근 연구가 진행되고 있는 VEGF의 발현과 안지오텐신 전환 효소 억제제를 이용한 VEGF 발현 억제효과의 규명을 통해 당뇨병성 망막증의 예방에 ACE 억제제가 효과가 있는지 ACE 억제제인 captopril을 이용하여 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 streptozotocin 처리시 혈청내 VEGF 농도는 증가하였으나 captopril (65 mg/kg) 치료에 의해 감소하지 않았다. 망막에서 관찰한 결과 당뇨군에서 VEGF mRNA 및 단백질 발현이 증가하였으며, 안지오텐신 전환 효소인 capto-pril에 의해서 차단되는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 captopril은 1형 당뇨에 있어서 망막의 VEGF 발현 억제를 통해 망막 보호효과를 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Enhanced activity of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been suggested as a cause of the high blood pressure in certain forms of experimental hypertension. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, however, increased activity of the system has not been found, and even suppressed renin angiotensin system has been reported in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. In the present experiments it was attempted to explore the possible alteration of the short loop negative feedback control in the hypertensive rat. Experiments have been done in the anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) as well as in normotensive Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats as control. Responses of the plasma renin activity to the intravenous L-isoproterenol were dose dependent, in both SHR and normotensive control rats. Hypotensive responses to smaller do sea of L-isoproterenol were more accentuated in SHR than in the normotensive control rats. Angiotensin If given intravenously suppressed plasma renin activity in a dose dependent fashion in both groups. However, these suppressive responses were significantly attenuated in SHR as compared with the normotensive control rats. Treatment with angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor did not correct the attenuated responses of the plasma renin activity to angiotensin II in SHR. Intravenous infusion of arginine vasopressin also produced a dose-dependent suppression of plasma renin activity in both groups. The responses to arginine vasopressin were also significantly attenuated to the normotensive control rats. In the sodium-depleted SHR, arginine vasopressin did not suppress plasma renin activity, whereas the suppressive responses to arginine vasopressin in the normotensive control rats were not different from the untreated control rats. These data suggest that there may be a derangement in the short loop negative feedback control of the renin-angiotensin system in spontaneously hypertensive rat.

In humans and many animal models with chronic progressive renal diseases, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor markedly attenuates the progression of nephropathy. Several studies have reported augmented gene expression and redistribution of renal renin in partial nephrectomized rats. Although precise mechanism(s) is not known, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may play an important role in the progression of renal diseases. Thus, this study was undertaken to examine the gene expression of renal renin, angiotensinogen, and $AT_1$ subtypes ($AT_{1A}$ and $AT_{1B}$) in rats with diabetic nephropathy, and the influences of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septicemia on the gene expression. Four weeks after streptozotocin (STZ) treatment (55 mg/kg, i.p.), rats were randomly divided into LPS-treated (1.6 mg/kg, i.p.) and control rats. At 6 hours after LPS treatment, the rats were killed and the kidney was removed from each rat. Northern blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)techniques were used to detect mRNA expression. STZ treatment markedly attenuated body weight gain and significantly increased blood glucose level. Renal renin content (RRC) was significantly decreased in the STZ-treated rats compared to that in control rats. The renal ACE activity between STZ-treated and control rats was not significantly different. Renal renin mRNA level was prominently increased, while angiotensinogen and $AT_{1A}$ mRNA levels were slightly decreased in STZ-treated rats compared to those in controls. $AT_1$B mRNA level did not differ in both groups. Acute LPS treatment did not show any significant changes of mRNA levels of intrarenal RAS components in both groups. These results suggest that intrarenal RAS components were differentially regulated in STZ-treated diabetic rats. Further studies are required to evaluate the relationship between intrarenal RAS and other vasomodulatory systems.
