Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term for positional and geometric isomers of octadecadienoic acid in which the double bonds are conjugated. CLA has anticancer activity in a variety of animal cancer models, and cis-9, trans-11 (c9t11) and trans-10, cis-12(t10c12) CLA are the most predominant isomers present in the synthetic preparations utilized in these animal studies. To compare the ability of c9t11, t10c12 and an isomeric mixture of CLA to inhibit TSU-Prl cell growth, cells were incubated in a serum-free medium with various concentrations of these fatty acids. The isomeric mixture inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner (1-3 $\mu$M) with a 41 $\pm$ 1% inhibition observed at 3 $\mu$M concentration after 48 hours. T10c12 also inhibited cell proliferation in a dote-dependent manner, However, the efficacy and potency of this isomer was much greater than that of the isomeric mixture with a 49 $\pm$ 2% inhibition observed at 0.3 $\mu$M concentration after 48 hours. By contrast, c9t11 slightly increased cell proliferation. To determine whether the growth-inhibiting effect of CLA is related to the changes in production of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) by these cells, serum-free conditioned media were collected. Immunoblot analysis of conditioned media using a monoclonal anti-IGF-II antibody showed that both the isomeric mixture and t10c12 inhibited secretion of both mature 7,500 Mr and higher Mr forms of pro IGF-II, whereas c9t11 had no effect. Ligand blot analysis with 125I-IGF-II revealed the presence of two types of IGFBPs : 24,000 Mr IGFBP-4 and 30,000 Mr IGFBP-6. The production of IGFBP-4 slightly decreased at the highest concentrations of the isomeric mixture and t10c12. These results indicate that CLA inhibits human prostate cancer cell growth, an effect largely due to the action of t10c12. The growth inhibition may result, at least in part, from decreased production of IGF-II and IGFBP-4 by these cells.

Due to wide abuse of antibiotics both in human and livestock use, the advent and spread of multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens becomes a serious health problem all over the world. Since the development of new antibiotics is at a standstill in pharmaceutical industry, the choice of therapeutic antibiotics is getting narrower. In this study, in an effort to search new antibiotics, the antimicrobial activity of Paenibacillus DY1 isolated from Korean soil was characterized on its growth inhibition spectrum against various health threatening MDR strains, with its stability and chemical structure. Extracellular culture filtrate of Paenibacillus DY1 effectively inhibits the growth of all the tested MDR enteropathogenic Eshcherichia coli, enterohemolytic E. coli, and enterotoxigenic E. coli strains, at a similar level to that on the nonresistant control E. coli strains. It showed significant growth inhibition effect against the causative agents of class one legal communicable disease, MDR Salmonella typhi, MDR Salmonella paratyphi A, food poisoning bacteria, MDR Salmonella typhimurium, and other MDR Salmonella spp. The growth of all of 10 different MDR Shigella spp. strains and 6 different Vibrio spp. strains tested was also inhibited. The antimicrobial activity of Paenibacillus DY1 was well preserved after heat treatment, and was also stable in both alkaline and acidic environment. The antimicrobial activity was partially purified with Diaion HP20 column and TLC. By NMR study, the putative structure of the activity was postulated as an alkane having hydroxyl groups.

Background: Ginseng black spot disease resulting from Alternaria panax Whuetz is a common soil-borne disease, with an annual incidence rate higher than 20-30%. In this study, the bacterial strains with good antagonistic effect against A. panax are screened. Methods: A total of 285 bacterial strains isolated from ginseng rhizosphere soils were screened using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and the Oxford cup plate assay. We analyzed the antifungal spectrum of SZ-22 by confronting incubation. To evaluate the efficacy of biocontrol against ginseng black spot and for growth promotion by SZ-22, we performed pot experiments in a plastic greenhouse. Taxonomic position of SZ-22 was identified using morphology, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, 16S ribosomal DNA, and gyrB sequences. Results: SZ-22 (which was identified as Brevundimonas terrae) showed the strongest inhibition rate against A. panax, which showed 83.70% inhibition, and it also provided broad-spectrum antifungal effects. The inhibition efficacies of the SZ-22 bacterial suspension against ginseng black spot reached 82.47% inhibition, which is significantly higher than that of the 25% suspension concentrate azoxystrobin fungicide treatment (p < 0.05). Moreover, the SZ-22 bacterial suspension also caused ginseng plant growth promotion as well as root enhancement. Conclusion: Although the results of the outdoor pot-culture method were influenced by the pathogen inoculum density, the cropping history of the field site, and the weather conditions, B. terrae SZ-22 controlled ginseng black spot and promoted ginseng growth successfully. This study provides resource for the biocontrol of ginseng black spot.

We isolated marine actinomycetes, strain D-5 which produces anti-methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (anti-MRSA) compound. Streptomyces sp. D-5 relatively grew well in the 20~25℃, pH 8.0, and NaCl 3.0%. The ethyl acetate extract of D-5 culture was separated by C₁₈ ODS open column and reverse phase HPLC to yield anti-MRSA compound. The molecular weight of this compound was determined to be 898 by a Liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS). Compared with penicillin G, this compound showed significant anti-MRSA activity. It also exhibited an inhibition zone of 26 mm at a concentration of 64 ㎍/disk and an inhibition zone of 16 mm at a concentration of 16 ㎍/disk against the MRSA KCCM 40511. Furthermore, the co-treatment of HPLC peak 5 compound and vancomycin caused a more rapid decrease in MRSA cells than each compound alone. It showed 86.8% growth inhibition activity within 12 hours at a low concentration of 50 ㎍/mL during co-treatment, and 97.1% growth in-hibition activity within 48 hours against MRSA KCCM 40511. Taken together, our results suggest that Streptomyces sp. D-5 and its anti-MRSA compound could be employed as a potent agent in MRSA infection.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii are known to produce alcohol in gochujang. To reduce alcohol production, garlic and chives were applied to gochujang solution to find their inhibitory effect on S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii. The 70% ethanol extract of garlic and chives showed significant inhibition activity against S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii, showing growth inhibition zone of 14.00±0.00~25.33±0.58 mm by disc diffusion method. In addition, the addition of 70% ethanol extract of garlic and chives in 10% gochujang solution spiked with S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii reduced the numbers of total aerobic bacteria (below 7 Log CFU/g) and yeast (below 4 Log CFU/g), alcohol content (below 0.30%), respectively. In conclusion, the addition of garlic ethanol (70%) extract or chives ethanol (70%) extract to gochujang inhibited the growth of S. cerevisiae and Z. rouxii, resulting in reduced alcohol content in gochujang. For further study, it is necessary to conduct food application experiments by using real gochujang paste.

A fluorescent glucose analogue,2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-ox a-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino] -2- deoxy-D-glucose (2-NBDG), which had previously been developed for the analysis of glucose uptake in living cells, was investigated to determine its biological activity on microorganisms.2-NBDG did not show any inhibitory effect on growth of yeast cells and bacteria. In contrast, 2-NBDG exhibited strong inhibitory effects on filamentous fungal growth. The growth of filamentous fungi was completely inhibited, when 2-NBDG was supplemented as sole carbon source. The inhibitory effect was decreased by the addition of glucose in the test medium. Furthermore, 2-NBDC inhibited chitinase activity of Trichoderma sp. These results suggested that the inhibitory effects of 2-NBDG on filamentous fungi might be partially due to the inhibition of chitinase.

This work examines the effect of treatment with Gyukhachukeotang on the growth of uterine myomal cells. Comparisons of cell growth, MAP kinase activity and expression of bcl-2 (apoptosis-related gene) were made between the control and experimental samples. The results as fallows; 1. Any concentration of Gyukhachukeotang above 0.01% yielded growth inhibition. Concentrations of 5% and 10% stopped all cell growth, demonstrating the effectiveness of Gyukhachukeotang as a growth inhibitor on uterine myomal cells. 2. The MAP kinase activity in uterine myomal cells treated with Gyukhachukeotang was decreased to a high degree at the concentration of 10%, and some inhibition of activity was detected at a concentration of 5%. 3. The expression of bcl-2, a Cell Apoptosis-related gene, in uterine myoma cells treated with Gyukhachukeotang was gradually increased with increasing concentration of Gyukhachukeotang. These results indicate the ability of Gyukhachukeotang to control uterine myomal cell growth, with concurrent reduction of MAP kinase activity. Treatment with Gyukhachukeotang appears to trigger a normal apoptosis response, as indicated by increased bcl-2 expression. This observed increase in apoptosis indicates that Gyukhachukeotang is an appropriate prescription to treat uterine myomal cells.
