최근 연구에 의하면, NOX4에 의해 생성된 세포내 ROS는 지방세포의 분화를 촉진하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구진의 보고에 의하면 천년초 추출물은 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 발현 및 지방세포의 분화를 억제하는 것으로 밝혀진 바 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 천년초 선인장의 건강기능식품 소재화시 기초자료를 제공하고자 지방세포내 생성되는 ROS에 대한 천년초 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 억제효과 및 주요 유전자(NOX4, G6PDH 및 항산화효소)의 발현 양상을 조사하였다. 천년초 열수 및 에탄올 추출물을 처리한 지방세포에서는 대조군에 비해 ROS 생성량이 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타내었고, 추출용매별 천년초 추출물의 ROS 저감효능은 열수 추출물에 비해 에탄올 추출물에서 높게 나타났다. 천년초 추출물을 처리한 지방세포에서는 ROS 생성과 연관된 주요 유전자 NOX4 및 G6PDH의 발현이 대조군에 비해 감소하는 경향을 나타낸 반면, Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, catalase, GPx 등과 같은 항산화효소의 발현은 대조군에 비해 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들로 볼 때, 천년초 추출물은 지방세포의 분화과정에서 ROS의 생성을 억제하고 항산화효소의 발현을 증가시켜 ROS에 의한 산화적 스트레스를 효과적으로 저감화하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

We have previously investigated the proteome changes of rice leaves under heat stress (Lee et al. in Proteomics 2007a, 7:3369-3383), wherein a group of antioxidant proteins and heat shock proteins (HSPs) were found to be regulated differently. The present study focuses on the biochemical changes and gene expression profiles of heat shock protein and antioxidant genes in rice leaves in response to heat stress ($42^{\circ}C$) during a wide range of exposure times. The results show that hydrogen peroxide and proline contents increased significantly, suggesting an oxidative burst and osmotic imbalance under heat stress. The mRNA levels of chaperone 60, HSP70, HSP100, chloroplastic HSP26, and mitochondrial small HSP responded rapidly and showed maximum expression after 0.5 or 2 h under heat stress. Transcript levels of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) showed a rapid and marked accumulation upon heat stress. While prolonged exposure to heat stress resulted in increased transcript levels of monodehydroascorbate reductase, peroxidase, glyoxalase 1, glutathione reductase, thioredoxin peroxidase, 2-Cysteine peroxiredoxin, and nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1, while the transcription of catalase was suppressed. Consistent with their changes in gene expression, the enzyme activities of APX and DHAR also increased significantly following exposure to heat stress. These results suggest that oxidative stress is usually caused by heat stress, and plants apply complex HSP- and antioxidant-mediated defense mechanisms to cope with heat stress.

본 연구에서는 마늘의 숙성 기간(15일, 30일, 60일)과 온도($60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$)를 달리한 저온숙성마늘과 생마늘의 항산화 효과를 비교 분석하였다. DPPH와 ABTS의 라디칼 소거능과 FRAP법에 의한 환원력을 측정한 결과 $250{\mu}g/mL$에서 생마늘 추출물보다 30일 $70^{\circ}C$ 추출물과 60일 $60^{\circ}C$ 추출물의 항산화 활성이 우수하였다. 세포 내 활성산소 생성은 15일 $60^{\circ}C$ 추출물과 30일 $70^{\circ}C$ 추출물에서 높은 억제 효과를 보였으며, xanthine oxidase에 대한 활성 저해 효과 역시 15일 $60^{\circ}C$ 추출물에서 우수하였다. 항산화 효소의 유전자 발현은 LPS를 처리한 군과 생마늘 추출물보다 30일 $70^{\circ}C$ 추출물에서 높은 효과를 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 저온숙성마늘이 생마늘보다 항산화 활성이 우수하다는 것을 확인함으로써 차후 항산화 건강기능식품 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되나, 저온숙성마늘 추출물의 체내 생리활성 메커니즘 규명을 위해 동물실험 등의 추가적인 연구를 계속적으로 수행할 예정이다.

Root extract of Lythrum salicaria reported a hepato-protective effect on $CCl_4$-induced liver toxicity of rat was prepared into fractions such as n-hexane up layer (HA), n-hexane down layer (HB), diethyl ether (E), ethylacetate (EA), n-butanol (B) and water (W). Fractions prepared were tested their activities in vitro and in vivo condition. All of the fractions showed effective antioxidant asctivities on DPPH radical and $CuSO_4$-induced oxidation of human low density lipoprotein and E fraction showed the highest inhibitory effect (98.1% at $50\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) on linoleic acid autoxidation at $40^{\circ}C$, which was more effective than $\alpha$-tocopherol (82.4%). Five fractions (H = HA plus HB, E, EA, B, and W, 150 mg/kg/day) were fed into Sprague Dawley, male rats for 4 days, which were intoxicated with intra-peritoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride ($1\;m{\ell}/kg$ in corn oil) at the 4th day and were sacrificed in 24 hrs. Serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$), a proinflammatory cytokine, elevated with $CCl_4$-intoxication in negative control group ($83\;pg/m{\ell}$) was significantly decreased in E fraction-supplemented group ($18\;pg/m{\ell}$). Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased in negative control group (0.12 U/mg protein) was decreased in E fraction (0.07 U/mg protein). From the results, it is suggested that ether fraction from root extract of L. salicaria would be a potent antioxidant candidate for ameliorating liver injury induced by chemical intoxicant.

다시마 (Laminaria japonica) 추출물 건조분말 $4.0\%$ 첨가사료(Dasi-Ex)와 여기에 후코이단 $1.0\%,\;2.0\%,\;3.0\%$ 첨가사료 (Fuco-I, II, III group)를 SD계 랫트에 45일간 투석하여 노화억제작용에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. Dasi-Ex 및 Fuco-I, II, III 투여그룹의 신장 mitochondria 및 microsome의 $\cdot$OH의 생성은 대조그룹 대비 각각 $10\~15\%$ 및 $15\~30\%$ 의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. Dasi-Ex 및 Fuco-I, II, III 투여그룹의 신장 microsome의 $H_2O_2$의 생성도 대조그룹 대비 $10\~15\%$의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. 따라서 신장의$\cdot$OH 및 $H_2O_2$의 생성 억제효과는 다시마추출물보다는 후코이단의 투여가 효과적일 뿐만 아니라 후코이단 첨가량에 따른 용량 의존성도 인정되었다. 신장 mitochondria에서 Dasi-Ex 및 Fuco-I 투여그룹의 BOR생성은 전혀 유의적인 효과가 인정할 수 없었지만, Fuco-II 및 III투여그룹의 BOR 생성은 $12\~16\%$의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. 신장 microsome에서는 Dasi-Ex 및 Fuco-I, II, III 투여그룹의 BOR의 생성이 $15\~25\%$의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었을 뿐만 아니라 후코이단의 첨가량에 따른 용량 의존성이 인정되었다. 또한 신장 mitochondria에서 Dasi-Ex 투여그룹의 IOR의 생성은 유의적인 억제효과가 인정할 수 없었지만, Fuco-I, II, III 투여그룹의 TOR 생성은 $10\~15\%$의 유의적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. 신장 microsome에서는 Fuco-II 및 III 투여그룹만이 $13\~14\%$의 유의적인 IOR의 생성 억제효과가 인정되었다. 신장 mitochondria 및 microsome분획중의 LPO의 생성은 Fuco-II, III의 투여부터 각각 $15\%$ 및 $15\~25\%$ 정도의 효과적인 억제효과가 인정되었다. mitochondria 획분에서 Dasi-Ex 및 Fuco-I, II, III 투여그룹의 유동성은 대조그룹의 유동성 대비 $20\~35\%$의 유의적인 유동성의 증가효과가 인정되었다. microsome 분획에서 Basi-Ex 및 Fuco-I, II, III 투여그룹의 유동성은 대조그룹 대비 $17\~24\%$의 유의적인 증가효과가 인정 되었다. 따라서 다시마 추출물 (Dasi-Ex) 단독 투여보다 후코이단 (Fuco-I, II, III)의 투여가 생체 방어효소의 활성을 촉진할 뿐만 아니라 활성산소의 공격으로부터 신장의 기능을 효과적으로 보호할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Application of phytoremediation in the polluted area to remove undesirable materials is a complex and difficult subject without detailed investigation and experimentation. We investigated the accumulation patterns of cadmium and lead in plants naturally grown, the bioavailability of plants to accumulate these toxic metals and the responses of P. thunbergii to cadmium and lead. The soil samples contained detectable lead (<17.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/g), whereas cadmium was not detected in the soils of study area. The whole body of Persicaria thunbergii contained detectable lead (<320.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) but cadmium was detected only in the stem (<7.4$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) and root (<10.4$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) of P. thunbergii. Cadmium was not detected in Trapa japonica and Nymphoides peltata, whereas lead was detected in T. japonica (<323.7$\mu\textrm{g}$/g) and N. peltata (<177.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/g). Correlation coefficient between lead content in soil and in these plant samples represented positive correlation. The total content of lead in each plant sample increased in the order of N.peltata$\leq$P.thunbergii

We investigated the accumulation patterns of cadmium and lead in plants naturally grown, the bioavailability of plants to accumulate these toxic metals and the responses of P. thunbergii to cadmium and lead. The soil samples contained detectable lead (＜$17.5_\mu$g/g), whereas cadmium was not detected in the soils of study area. The whole body of Persicaria thunbergii contained detectable lead (＜320.$8_\mu$g/g/g) but cadmium was detected only in the stem (＜7.$4_\mu$g/g/g) and root (＜10.$4_\mu$g/g/g) of P. thunbergii. Cadmium was not detected in Trapa japonica and Nymphoides peltata, whereas lead was detected in T. japonica (＜323.$7_\mu$g/g/g) and N. peltata (＜177.$5_\mu$g/g/g). Correlation coefficient between lead content in soil and in these plant samples represented positive correlation. The total content of lead in each plant sample increased in the order of N. peltata$\leq$P. thunbergii

This study is conducted to determine the effects of dietary levels of corn and tuna oils on the formation of preneoplastic lesions in die-thylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat hepatocarcinogenesis. Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed 2.5, 5, 15, 25% (w/w) corn or tuna oils. Hepatocellular carcinogenesis was induced by DEN (200 mg/kg body weight) and two-thirds partial hepactectomy was carried out 3 weeks later and were sacrificed 8 weeks after DEN initiation. Tuna oil group showed smaller area of placental glutathione S-transferase (GST-P) positive foci than com oil group. Com oil group of 25% (w/w) showed the widest area of GST -P positive foci, and tuna oil group showed significantly smaller area of GST-P positive foci than com oil in 25% (w/w) level but had no differences between oil levels. Thio-barbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content was the highest in 25% (w/w) level of tuna oil group fed long chain and highly polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also serum ${\gamma}$ -glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) activities in 25% level of tuna oil group were significantly higher than by other levels. As oil contents increased, glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) seems to decrease in com oil groups but remained the same in tuna oil groups. Glutathione reductase (GR) activities were significantly higher in tuna oil group, and the higher the level of tuna oil, the higher GR activities. But Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities didn't seem to be influenced by levels and kind of dietary fats. Therefore, as oil levels increased, com oil rich in n-6 fatty acids promoted carcinogenesis but tuna oil rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) of n-3 fatty acids suppressed. Although lipid peroxidation products were elevated in 25% (w/w) tuna oil group, GST-P positive foci didn't increase. Therefore pre-neoplastic lesions might be reduced through mediation of a lipid peroxidation process in tuna oil. As fat contents of tuna oil increased, elevated GR activities may give a rise to produce more reduced glutathione in order to protect against free radical attack, and high G6Pase activities remained the same and they contributed to membrane stability. So tuna oil diet seems to protect hepatocarcinogenesis.

홍국쌀 추출물의 항산화 작용을 DPPH radical 및 hydroxyl radical 소거능, 간암 세포에서의 산화적 DNA 손상과 항산화 효소의 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향으로 분석하였다. 홍국쌀 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거능은 ethyl acetate 추출물, methanol 추출물, butanol 추출물 순이었으며, ethyl acetate 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거능은 0.2 mg/mL에서 85%, $IC_{50}$는 0.13 mg/mL로 나타났다. Ethyl acetate 추출물의 hydroxyl radical 소거능을 DCF fluorescence로 측정한 결과, cuvette에서는 2.5 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 44.2%, 5.0 ${\mu}g$/mL 74.1%, 10.0 ${\mu}g$/mL >100%로 나타났고, $HepG_2$ cell에서는 ethyl acetate 추출물로 전처리한 세포의 radical이 $H_2O_2$로만 처리한 세포에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 홍국쌀 ethyl acetate로 전처리한 세포의 DNA 손상이 $H_2O_2$로만 처리한 세포에 비해 유의적으로 낮았으며, 추출물 대신 lovastatin을 처리한 세포는 DNA 손상이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 항산화 효소 유전자의 상대적 발현 정도를 측정한 결과, 산화 스트레스 없이 ethyl acetate 추출물로 전처리한 세포에서는 SOD와 GPx가 control에 비해 각각 3.25배, 2.67배 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 추출물로 전처리한 후 산화 스트레스에 노출시킨 세포에서는 CAT가 control에 비해 5 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 4.64배, 10 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 7.0배 유의적으로 증가하였다.
