Phthalates, suspected endocrine disruptor, are plasticizer and solvent used in industry, and some phthalates are known as potential carcinogen. Most common human exposure to this compounds may occur with contaminated food. It may migrate into food from plastic wrap or may enter food from general environmental contamination, and it has become widespread environmental pollutants, thus leading to a variety of phthalates that possibly threaten the public health. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) may playa part of cell proliferator, which mediates changes in gene expression and the metabolism of xenobiotics. An understanding of the role of DBP in modulating gene regulation should provide insight regarding mechanisms of DBP induced xenoestrogenic impact. To elucidate the type of genes that are associated with estrogenic activity induced by DBP at the dose (10$^{-8}$ M) appeared proliferating effects, the pattern of gene expression in MCF7 cells was compared between 17$\beta$-estradiol and DBP exposure in the cDNA microarray. From the results, it showed some differences of gene expression patterns between MCF7 cells treated with 17$\beta$-estradiol and DBP, and also DBP shows estrogenic potential with changes in estrogen-related gene expression levels.

쑥의 주요 휘발성분이 Salmonella typhimurium TA100에서 aflatoxin B$_1$의 돌연변이 유발성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 쑥(Artemisia asictica nakai)의 생엽과 볶음 쑥차로 부터 휘발성향기성분을 Tenax trap으로 포집하여 분리하였다. GC-MS로 동정된 9가지 주요화합물중 myrcene, cineole camphor, caryophyllen, coumarin, farnesol은 돌연변이 유발을 억제시키는 효과가 있었으며, 2-pyrrolidine, thujone, 그리고 1-acetylpiperidine은 증가시키는 효과가 있었다. 그러나 이들 9가지 화합물을 혼합하여 시험하였을 때는 돌연변이 억제효과만 현저하였다. 따라서 2-pyrrolidine, thujone, 그리고 1-acetylpiperidine의 돌연변이 증가효과는 쑥중의 항돌연변이 물질에 의해 그 효과를 나타내지 못함을 알 수 있었다.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-$\rho$-dioxin(TCDD) is a ubiquitous, persistent environmental contaminant and the most powerful carcinogen categorized by IARC. Although the mechanism of carcinogenesis by TCDD is poorly understood, several studies have shown that the skin is one of target organs far TCDD. In this study, we investigated the neoplastic transformation of human keratinocyte-derived cell line, HaCaT, by chemical transformation method using N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrorsoguanidine(MNNG) and TCDD. We found that subsequent exposure to TCDD for 3 weeks after initial exposure to MNNG markedly induced transformed cells. It was suggested that TCDD can act as a potent promoter in HaCaT cells. Furthermore, these transformed cells showed morphological alternations in soft agar and increased telomerase activity. Therefore, the TCDD treatment of HaCaT cells by initiated with MNNG could promote neoplastic transformation without stimulation by exogenous growth factors. As a result, TCDD had a strong potency as a promoter in nontumorigenic immortalized human epidermal keratinocytes.

Kimchi is a major Korean traditional fermented food, as a supplying source of vitamin and minerals which is prepared with various vegetables and condiments such as red pepper, garlic and salted fish etc. There are many types of Kimchi depending on the ingredients and preparation methods used. To investigate the clastogenicity and anticlastogenicity of Baechu (Chinese cabbage) Kimchi and Buchu (leek, Allium odorum) Kimchi in mouse, it was performed acridine orange supravital staining of micronucleus (AOSS-MN) assay using mouse peripheral reticulocytes. Baechu Kimchi and Buchu Kimchi were cultivated by organic agricultural technique, and Kimchi samples were prepared by methanol extraction and lyophilization. First of all, it was studied the clastogenicity of two Kimchi samples themselves (250-1,000 mg/kg) after oral adminstration in mouse. And also to study the anticlastogenic effect of oral administration of Kimchi samples, mitomycin C (MMC, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) was used as micronucleus inducing agent in this study. Dosing scheme was performed as simultaneous (co-treatment), 3 hr before (pre-treatment) and 3 hr after (post-treatment) with MMC treatment. Two Kimchi samples in the range of 250-1,000 mg/kg did not reveal any clastogenic effect in AOSS-MN assay in mouse. They also revealed anticlastogenic effects in post-treatment of Baechu Kimchi (1,000 mg/kg), and in pre-treatment of Buchu Kimchi (500 and 1,000 mg/kg) with statistical significance. The anticlastogenic effect revealed 1 and 6 hr after treatment of Baechu Kimchi, and Buchu Kimchi with 3 and 6 hr pretreatment. Consequently, it is suggested that antimutagenic and anticlastogenic mechanisms of Baechu and Buchu Kimchi in vivo attributed to sipindle formation and kinetic behavior of mutagens such as absorption and metabolism etc.

By the treatment of various mutagens, a number of 5'-guanylic acidproducing from 5'-xanthylic acid were obtained from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC 6871. The indispensable genetic characters of the mutants were adenine requirement, lack of GMP-reductase and mutation to adenosine resistance from adenosine sensitiveness. Main product of these mutants from 5'-xanthylic acid was 5'-guanylic acid. The substance was isolated in a crystalline form the culture broth of BA 17-2, and identified as 5'-guanylic acid by means of paper chromatography, ultra violet, absorption spectra, and infra red spectrum.

A modified synthetic approach to the synthesis of heterocyclic food mutagens, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PHIP) and 2-amino-1,6-dimethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (DMIP) is reported. This route highlights an optimized palladium catalysed Buchwald cross-coupling of 2-halo-1-methyl-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine with benzophenoneimine followed by acidic hydrolysis to yield compound 7. Using finely tailored conditions, Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with highly efficient catalytic systems were performed as the final step on 8 to introduce the aryl group and methyl group on the heterocyclic core.

This study was undertaken to determine the antimutagenic effects of Synurus deltoides extracts on the mutagenesis induced by 3-amino-1, 4-dimethyl-5-H-pyrido[4, 3-blindol(Trp-P-1), 2-amitnofluorene (2-AF) and 4-nitroquinolin-1-oxide(4NQO) using Ames test. Raw juice, heated juice, and ethanol extract from Synurus deltoides itself did not induce mutagenesis. The raw juice, heated juice and ethanol extract of 50${mu}ell$/plate showed approximately 90%, 37% and 28% inhibitory effect on the mutagenesis induced by Trp-P-1 against TA98 strain, while 80%, 60% and 58% inhibition was observed on the mutagenesis induced by 2-AF at the concentration of 200${mu}ell$/plate, respectively. TA100 strain was more sensitive than TA98 strain by raw juice, heated juice and ethanol extract on the mutagenesis induced by Trp-P-1 and 2-AF. Meanwhile, the raw juice, heated juice, and ethanol extract showed very limited inhibitory effects on the mutagenesis induced by 4-NQO against TA98 and TA100 strain. These results indicate that raw juice had the strongest inhibitory effect on the Trp-P-1 or 2-AF induced mutagenesis, but all of the extracts had a little antimutagenc effects on the 4-NQO induced mutagenesis.

Cell proliferation and c-Jun expression pattern in liver exposed by nongenotoxic carcinogens phenobarbital (PB) and clofibrate, and genotoxic carcinogen 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) were investigated to see whether differential effects of genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens on the development of neoplastic foci may be related to differential effect on cell proliferation. Male F344 rats were initially given a single intraperitioneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (200 mg/kg body weight), and 2 weeks later, animals were fed diets containing 0.03% IQ or 0.5% CE or 0.05% PB or basal diet as a control for 6 weeks. All rats were subjected to the two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PH) at week 3. Sequential sacrifice of rats was performed until 8 weeks. Cell proliferation was examined by immunohistochemical staining of bromodeoxyuridine and c-Jun expression was determined by northern blotting. The increase of cell proliferation rate after PH was significant in the rats fed 0.05% IQ and continued until 8 weeks, while the increase was not significant in the rats fed phenobarbital and clofibrate compared to that in the rats fed control diet. mRNA level of c-Jun in the liver treated with IQ was about 7 fold higher than that of control and peak at 5 hours after rH. In the liver treated with CE, mRNA level of c-Jun was 3-4 fold higher than that of control and the highest level of mRNA of c-Jun was seen at 24 hours after PH. These results show that differential effects of genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens on the development of neoplastic foci may be related to differential effect on cell proliferation pattern.

식이 섬유소의 항암효과기전을 설명하기 위한 연구의 일부로 불용성 섬유소인 lignin 및 수용성 섬유소인 hemicellulose와 단백질 식품의 가열조리 중 생성되는 변 이원성 물질 인 IQ간의 홉착작용에 의한 in vitro돌연변이 억제활성을 Salmonella typhimurium주를 사용한 reversion assay를 통해 살펴 보았다. 특히 본 연구에서는 식품섭취 후 식품성분들이 접하게 되는 생체장관 조건을 맞추기 위해 섬유소와 IQ를 pH 5.4, 2.1과 6.6 순서로 각각 30분씩 미리 배양하였고 각 pH에서 일정량을 취하여 돌연변이 활성을 측정하였다. IQ는 0.01$\mu\textrm{g}$/plate 농도에서 약 100~200 revertants를 생산하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 IQ가 pH 2.1에서 30분간 배양된 후에는 그 돌연변이활성이 없어지는 것으로 나타났고 pH 5.4와 6.6의 조건에서는 lignin과 hemicellulose의 농도에 비례하여 돌연변이 억제활성을 보였다. 한편 같은 농도 와 pH조건에서 lignin과 hemicellulose의 항돌연변이 효과는 유사한 것으로 나타났고 단, pH 5.4에서 200$\mu\textrm{g}$의 hemicellulose가 pH 6.6에서는 100$\mu\textrm{g}$의 hemicellulose가 같은 농도의 lignin에 비해 그 억제활성이 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 섬유소와 IQ 배양 시의 pH에 따른 항돌연변이효과는 lignin의 경우 농도 100 및 200$\mu\textrm{g}$과 hemicellulose의 경우는 200$\mu\textrm{g}$의 농도에서 에서 pH 5.4일 때 pH 6.6일 때 보다 그 효과가 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났다.
