오가피의 주요 성분으로 알려져 있는 eleutheroside B와 E 그리고 식물의 세포벽을 구성하는 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량을 강원도(A. senticosus), 충남(A. senticosus), 제주도(A. koreanum) 산지별 오가피의 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 열매 부위별로 각각 분석한 결과, 충남 오가피는 eleutheroside B가 검출되지 않는 것에 반해 특이적으로 높은 eleutheroside E를 함유하고 있었으며, 제주도 산지 오가피는 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 열매모든 부위에서 eleutheroside B와 E가 함께 검출되는 것으로 확인되었다. 서로 다른 산지에서 재배되었지만 지역과 품종에 상관없이 줄기 부위에 가장 많은 eleutheroside B와 E가 함유되어 있었으며, ${\beta}$-glucan 또한 강원도(7.46%), 충남(3.41%), 제주도(5.05%) 산지 오가피 모두 줄기 부위에 가장 많았다. 오가피는 같은 품종이더라도 재배지역에 따라 eleutheroside B와 E 그리고 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량에 차이를 보여주었고 산지와 품종에 상관없이 줄기 부위에 가장 많이 함유되어 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 기초로 오가피 소재 제품을 만들기 위해서는 제품의 목적에 따라 산지 및 부위의 선택이 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 산지에 따른 유효성분 차이에 있어서 탐라오가피는 제주도 특산식물로 오가피를 이용한 제품개발 시 지표성분을 표준화하는데 있어서 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

This research analyzed the effect of ${\beta}$-glucan that is expected to alleviate the production of the inflammatory mediator in macrophagocytes, which are processed by the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Escherichia. The incubated layer was used for a nitric oxide (NO) analysis. The DNA-binding activation of the small unit of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based kit. In the RAW264.7 cells that were vitalized by Escherichia coli (E. coli) LPS, the ${\beta}$-glucan inhibited both the combatant and rendering phases of the inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-derived NO. ${\beta}$-Glucan increased the expression of the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the cells that were stimulated by E. coli LPS, and the HO-1 activation was inhibited by the tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP). This shows that the NO production induced by LPS is related to the inhibition effect of ${\beta}$-glucan. The phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and the p38 induced by the LPS were not influenced by the ${\beta}$-glucan, and the inhibitory ${\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ ($I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$) decomposition was not influenced either. Instead, ${\beta}$-glucan remarkably inhibited the phosphorylation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) that was induced by the E. coli LPS. Overall, the ${\beta}$-glucan inhibited the production of NO in macrophagocytes that was vitalized by the E. coli LPS through the HO-1 induction and the STAT1 pathways inhibition in this research. As the host immune response control by ${\beta}$-glucan weakens the progress of the inflammatory disease, ${\beta}$-glucan can be used as an effective immunomodulator.

보리로부터 도정처리한 정맥 및 제분에 의한 분획별 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량을 분석하여 ${\beta}-glucan$을 강화할 수 있는 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 쌀보리가 겉보리보다 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량을 강화하는데 유리한 것으로 나타났으며 찰성 쌀보리인 수원-291이 메성인 무등쌀보리보다 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량이 높았다. 보리 ${\beta}-glucan$의 용해성은 품종간 차이가 있으며 평균 약 67%가 수용성인 것으로 나타났다. 쌀보리는 도정에 의해 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량이 1.2배까지 높아졌으며 쌀보리를 ${\beta}-glucan$이 가장 높은 상태인 정맥수율 $70{\sim}75%$로 도정하여 분쇄하고 $100{\sim}325-mesh$ 체를 사용하여 연속적으로 체질함에 의해 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량이 22%까지 포함된 획분을 얻어 원맥 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량의 3배 이상으로 강화하였다. 한편 보리를 $B{\ddot{u}}hler$ test mill을 사용하여 제분해 본 결과 보리가루의 ${\beta}-glucan$ 함량은 원맥에 비해 낮아진 반면 bran과 shorts에서는 원맥보다 높은 농도로 존재하였다, Shorts와 bran은 다시 분쇄 후 체질함으로써 원맥의 2.4배까지 ${\beta}-glucan$이 강화된 획분을 얻을 수 있었다. 체질에 의해서 입자크기에 따라 분획된 보리가루 획분들은 총 ${\beta}-glucan$의 $40{\sim}81%$가 수용성이며 정맥으로부터 얻은 획분에 비해 $B{\ddot{u}}hler$ mill stream의 bran 및 shorts로부터 얻은 획분에서 용해성이 다소 높게 나타났다.

This study was conducted to investigate the $\beta$-glucan contents and their characteristics of winter cereals according to particle sizes and milling recoveries. Sieved fractions differed in their average contents of $\beta$-glucans, and the coarse fraction had higher contents of $\beta$-glucan than finely milled fractions. In all winter cereals, the $\beta$-glucan contents of raw flours were higher than those of their brans, and the highest $\beta$-glucan contents of every cereals were observed at 100 mesh > or 100-140 mesh fractions except the Chalssalbori fractions which showed the higest $\beta$-glucan contents (12.9%) at 140-200 mesh fraction. As compared with the $\beta$-glucan content of Chalbori among the various milling recoveries, the $\beta$-glucan was distributed more evenly throughout the endosperm but $\beta$-glucan content in bran of Chalbori was only 1.5%. However, $\beta$-glucan content of Chalssalbori (hull-less waxy barley) was the highest in the subaleurone region (8.2%) and declined slightly toward inner layers of grain. This results suggest that $\beta$-glucan distribution between high (Chalbori) and low $\beta$-glucan barley (Chalssalbori) may explain the difference in milling performance of barley. On the other hand, $\beta$-glucan contents of two rye varieties (Chilbohomil, Chunchoohomil) were lower than those of two waxy barley varieties, and the higest $\beta$-glucan contents were observed at the 60% milling recoveries. In all winter cereals, the L-values (lightness) of raw flours were higher than those of brans. And the L-values of barley varieties were higher than those of oat and rye varieties. As the particle sizes and milling recovery ratios were decreased, the L-value were increased. The a-values (redness) in brans of every winter cereals were higher than those of every particle size flours and every milling ratio fractions, and this tendency was observed in the b-values (yellowness) of every particle size of cereal flours. The L and b-value of barley, the b-value of oat, and L, a, b-value of rye have the significant relationship with the $\beta$-glucan contents, respectively. This results represent the fact that $\beta$-glucans affected the color of the flours and pounded grains of winter cereals.

A chemical mutagenesis technique was employed for development of mutant strains of Sparassis crispa targeting the shortened cultivation time and the high ${\beta}$-glucan content. The homogenized mycelial fragments of S. crispa IUM4010 strain were treated with 0.2 vol% methyl methanesulfonate, an alkylating agent, yielding 199 mutant strains. Subsequent screening in terms of growth and ${\beta}$-glucan content yielded two mutant strains, B4 and S7. Both mutants exhibited a significant increase in ${\beta}$-glucan productivity by producing 0.254 and 0.236 mg soluble ${\beta}$-glucan/mg dry cell weight for the B4 and S7 strains, respectively, whereas the wild type strain produced 0.102 mg soluble ${\beta}$-glucan/mg dry cell weight. The results demonstrate the usefulness of chemical mutagenesis for generation of mutant mushroom strains.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protective effects of $\beta$-glucan from barley on RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were examined. The RAW 264.7 murine macrophages were preincubated with various concentrations ($0-200\;{\mu}g/mL$) of $\beta$-glucan and stimulated with LPS to induce oxidative stress and inflammation. The $\beta$-glucan treatments were found to reduce thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) accumulation, and enhance glutathione levels and the activities of antioxidative enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) in the LPS-stimulated macrophages as compared to the LPS-only treated cells. Nitric oxide (NO) production was significantly suppressed in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05) with an $IC_{50}$ of $104\;{\mu}g/mL$. Further treatment with $\beta$-glucan at $200\;{\mu}g/mL$ suppressed NO production to 2% of the LPS-control, and suppressed the levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein and mRNA in a dose-dependent manner. The specific DNA binding activity of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B\;(NF{\kappa}B)$ was significantly suppressed by $\beta$-glucan treatment with an $IC_{50}$ of $220\;{\mu}g/mL$ in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, barley $\beta$-glucan ameliorates NO production and iNOS expression through the down-regulation of $NF{\kappa}B$ activity, which may be mediated by attenuated oxidative stress in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

${\beta}$-glucan은 균류의 세포벽, 귀리, 효모, 식물의 구성물질로, 면역 세포의 활성, 전염증성 사이토카인 분비, 항암효능과 같은 면역 체계에 중요한 역할을 한다. 면역계는 건강한 몸 상태의 항상성을 유지한다. 하지만, 병원성 물질이 신체 내로 들어오게 되면 면역 항상성이 무너지게 되고, 질병이 유발될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 ${\beta}$-glucan이 인간 단핵구 THP-1 세포에서 면역 조절 효과에 이용될 수 있는지를 확인하였다. ${\beta}$-glucan은 THP-1 세포에 다양한 농도를 처리하여 배양하였으며, $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA 발현과 단백질 수준을 Real-time PCR와 ELISA을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 전사 인자 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50와 MAPKs 신호 기작 활성을 western blot을 이용하여 분석하였다. ${\beta}$-glucan으로 유도된 MAPKs와 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 활성이 증가하였다. ${\beta}$-glucan이 인간 단핵구 THP-1 세포에서 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 생성에 의해 면역 증강 효과를 나타내며, 이는 MAPKs와 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p50 신호 전달을 통해 나타내는 것을 제시한다. 종합적으로, 본 연구는 ${\beta}$-glucan이 인간 단핵구 THP-1 세포를 통해 면역 체계를 향상시킬 것이라고 사료된다.

천연물에서 피부 미백 효능을 가진 화합물을 개발하기 위한 노력이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 꽃송이 버섯(Sparassis crispa)은 β-glucan의 함량이 건조중량의 40% 이상으로서 항암과 면역증강 효과가 있는 것으로 입증되어 약용으로도 인정받고 있다. 이 연구에서는 S. crispa β-glucan의 멜라닌 생합성 및 tyrosinase 활성억제 효능을 확인함으로써 피부 미백제로서의 활용 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 외부 자극제인 α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH)와 S. crispa β-glucan (10, 100, 1,000 ㎍/ml)을 B16F1 melanoma 세포에 투여하여 멜라닌 생성량과 tyrosinase 활성도를 측정하였다. Tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), TRP-2, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)의 발현정도에 대해서는 western blot으로 분석하였다. S. crispa β-glucan을 10, 100, 1,000 ㎍/ml의 농도로 투여하였을 때 α-MSH 만 투여군에 비하여 멜라닌 생성이 각각 13.9%, 18.7%, 39.5% 감소하였다. S. crispa β-glucan을 10, 100, 1,000 ㎍/ml의 농도로 투여하였을 때 β-glucan을 투여하지않은 α-MSH 유도군에 비하여 tyrosinase 활성도는 각각 15.6%, 26.9%, 43.2% 억제되었다. 또한 tyrosinase와 TRP-1, TRP-2, MITF 단백 발현도 효과적으로 감소시켰다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 S. crispa β-glucan은 MITF 발현을 억제함으로써 tyrosinase 발현을 감소시켜 멜라닌 생성을 억제시킨 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 S. crispa β-glucan은 미백제로서 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.
