Effects of hot-water extract from Sasa quelpaertensis leaf (HWES) on melanogenesis were investigated in B16/F10 mouse melanoma cells. HWES inhibited cellular tyrosinase activity and melanin biosynthesis in a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting analysis showed that HWES dose-dependently inhibited tyrosinase and tyrosinase related protein-1 expression. Also, HWES suppressed sustained ERK activation in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that HWES inhibits the melanin biosynthesis through the suppressive effect against pathway involving sustained ERK activation.

The effects of oxidative stress on the alterations of different antioxidant enzyme activity on mouse melanoma cells(B16F10) was investigated. Oxidative stress was induced by the exposeure to hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). B 16F 10 cells were exposed Phellinus linteus Ex. in combination with H2O2 and measured the time course of changes in cell viability and antioxidant enzyme activity. CAT activity peaked at 12 hr. On the contrary, SOD and GPX activity was maximum at 6 hr. The cell viability of Pheltinus linteus extracts in combination with hydrogen peroxide was higher than hydrogen peroxide alone.

SKT is consisted of skullcap radix, knope-sedge radix and trametes mushroom. SKT mixture extract has been used for curing breast cancer and cervical cancer as a folk medicine without any kind of experimental evidence to support the rationales for its clinical use. This study was undertaken to investigate the antitumor effects and toxicity of SKT. Tumor was induced by implantation of B16F10 melanoma cells $(1{\times}10^6\;cells/mouse)$ into abdominal skin in ICR mice and SKT application (5 mg/mouse, p.o.) was initiated 4 days prior to tumor induction and lasted for 42 days. SKT significantly inhibited not only tumor growth but also metastasis of i.v. implanted melanoma cells into lung and showed prolonged life span of tumor bearing mice. The combined theraphy of SKT with doxorubicin was more effective against tumor metastasis into lung. SKT almostly recovered serum SGPT to normal level of galactosamine/LPS-induced hepatitis mice. High dose of SKT did not show any acute side effects. But, in vitro SKT did not inhibit the growth of melanoma cells, which suggests that the antitumor effects of SKT might be menifested by indirect mechanisms.

In this study, the efficacy of melanoma cell B16F10 was investigated using the Korean native plant Oplismenus undulatifolius (OU). First, the cell viability of the extract was more than 90% when treated with 15 ㎍/mL of phenolics from OU. The results showed that melanin biosynthesis and cellular tyrosinase synthesis were inhibited by treatment with α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-stimulated mouse melanoma cell B16F10 at a concentration of 15 ㎍/mL of phenolics for cell-line efficacy. The expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, TRP-2, and microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) protein was confirmed by western blot to investigate the effect of phenolics from OU on melanin biosynthesis. When treated with phenolics from OU 15 ㎍/mL, tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, and MITF decreased the protein expression level. In particular, tyrosinase, TRP-1, and MITF inhibited the production amount to a level similar to that of the non-treated normal group, indicating that the effect was excellent. Therefore, phenolics from OU acts as an inhibitor of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, and its transcription factor MITF, and participates in melanin biosynthesis mechanism. These results suggested the potential for development as a material.

암전이는 현재까지 적당한 치료제가 거의 없었기 때문에 암에 의한 사망의 주요한 원인 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 최근 본 연구팀은 마늘 추출물과 순수분리한 성분에 대한 암전이 억제 시험 결과 마늘의 추출물 또는 성분이 암전이를 억제시켰으며, 역학조사에서도 마늘을 많이 섭취한 사람은 암의 발생을 억제시키는 것으로 보고되어 있다, 본 연구의 암전이 실험에서는 C57BL/6 mouse의 꼬리 정맥에 melanoma B16F10세포를 주사하여 폐에 전이를 유도하였다. 암세포 주사 1일 후에 마늘의 헥산 추출물 50, 100 및 200 mg/kg body weight를 2일 간격으로 21일 동안 구강투여 한 다음 암전이 억제효과를 조사하였다. GHE를 처리하지 않은 대조구에서는 폐에서 암 colony가 97.4±30.2으로 대량 생성되었다. GHE를 50, 100 및 200 mg/kg의 농도로 경구투여시에 암전이 빈도는 각각 6.93, 46.80 및 50.53% 억제하였다. 또한 100 mg/kg body weight 경구투여 시에는 폐로 암전이 억제율이 약 53% 이상으로 매우 높았다. 폐에서 melanoma cell colony의 발생율과 면적은 마늘 헥산 추출물의 농도가 높을수록 감소하였다. 결론적으로 C57BL/6 mice의 암전이 모델에서 마늘 헥산추출물의 구강투여는 폐에 암전이를 억제시켰으나, 향후 그 기작에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

We investigated the effects of aqueous extracts from twelve medical herbs on ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH)-induced melanogenesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cell. The cells were incubated with ${\alpha}$-MSH and aqueous extracts 5 days and 2 days and then analysed melanin amount and tyrosinase activities, respectively. Nine aqueous extract of herbs examined at 1 mg/m${\ell}$ level decreased melanin synthesis in B16F10 cell, especially in Agastache rugosa, Leonurus siviricus and Murus bombycis. The significant decrease of released extracellular melanin were also observed in treated cells with aqueous extract from Leonurus siviricus, Murus bombycis and Ledebouriella seseioides. The ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced activation of tyrosinase was inhibited in cells treated with aqueous extract from Cuscutae semen, Angelica tenuissima and Agastache rugosa. These results suggest that herbs inhibiting melanogenesis through tyrosinase activity may apply to develop whitening drugs and cosmetics.
