This study was conducted to compare probiotic activities and physiological functions of Bifidobacterium longum Mk-G7 with weveral commercial and type strains of bifidobacteria. bif. longum MK-G7 showed the highest acid tolerance against HCl and acetic acid, whereas bif. infantis Y-1 showed the lowest acid tolerance and more than 4 log cycles of viable cell count decreased due to acid injuty. Viable cell counts of bifidobacteria strains decreased more than 1.5 log cycles owing to oxygen toxicity, with the exception of Bif. longum MK-G7, Bif. infantis Y-2, Bif. longum Y-3, Bif. longum Y-6, and Bif. longum RD-13 showed the highest bile tolerance, whereas Bif. longum MK-G7 showed a medium level of bile tolerance. Only Bif. longum MK-G7 howed much higher antibiotic resistance against both tetracycline and penicillin-G in the MIC(minimum inhibitory concentration) level of 24.8 mg/I and 0.52mg/I, respectively. Bif longum Y-6, and Bif. bifidum ATCC 29539 showed more than 80% of anti-mutagenicity against NQO(4-nitroquinolinel-oxide). Since the production of cytokines such as $TNF(tumor necrosis factor)-{\alpha}$ and IL (interleukin)-6, and NO(nitric oxide) in the macrophage cell line Raw 264.7 cells increased as Bif. longum MK-G7 cell concentration increased, ti was suggested that Bif. longum MK-G7 is able to enhance immunopotentiating activity in vitro. When freeze-dred Bif. longum MK-G7 was administered to mice at the dose of 1,2,4, and 6 g/kg of body weight, all of the mice survived in all feeding groups, proving the GRAS(generally recognized as safe) status of Bif. longum MK-G7. When fermented milk containing Bif. longum MK-G7 was administered to human volunteers, viable cell count of total bifidobacteria and anaerobes in the feces increased up to 0.5 log cycles more than before the administration. In particular, Bif. logum MK-G7 ingibited the growth of Bacteroides at the level of 1.0-1.5 log cycles.

The anti-cancer effects of Astragalus membranaceus (AM) and Adenophora triphylla var. japonica (AT) have been described. Each of their effects mainly focused on the immunopotentiating and apoptosis inducing-ability in several cancer cell lines. Although the combination of AM and AT is occasionally used in Chinese medicine to treat lung cancers, their synergistic effect has not been proved yet. This study was designed to verify whether AM combined with AT exhibits a synergistic anti-cancer effect in H1299 human lung carcinoma cells. The ethanol extracts of AM (EAM) and AT (EAT) showed only slight cytotoxicity in H1299 cells when treated alone. However, the combination of EAM and EAT markedly suppressed the cell growth measured by MTT assay and trypan blue counting assay. In addition, co-treatment of EAM with EAT significantly reduced the colony-forming ability compared with single treatment of EAM or EAT in H1299 cells. We demonstrated that the synergistic effect of AM and AT was related with apoptosis induction proved by an accumulation of chromatin condensation, annexin V-positive cells, sub-G1 phase population, and cleaved-PARP expression, which were not observed by single treatment of EAM or EAT. In conclusion, the combination of EAM and EAT exhibited superior anti-cancer activity in H1299 cells than single treatment of EAM or EAT. We suggest that EAM combined with EAT might be a novel therapeutic option for lung cancer patients, and provide a reference for the development of more effective combination of Chinese herbs to treat lung cancer.

더덕열수추출물의 면역증강효과를 조사하였다. 더덕열수추출물을 1에서 $25\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 첨가했을 때 BSA로 면역된 마우스의 림파절 세포는 무첨가군에 비해 2.8에서 11.2배의 세포증식 효과를 나타냈다. 더덕열수추출물은 인삼열수추출물보다 증식효과가 높게 나타났으며, 면역증강효과가 알려진 B. adolescentis M101-4 와는 유사한 정도의 효과를 보였다. 비장 및 Peyer's patch 세포에 대해서는 1에서 $25\;{\mu}g/mL$의 더덕열수추출물을 첨가했을 때 각각 4.2에서 13.8배, 3.1에서 6.9배의 증식효과를 나타냈다. 더덕열수추출물은 또한 RAW 264.7 세포주에 의한 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 나 IL-6 같은 사이토카인 생산을 자극하였다. RAW 264.7 세포를 lipopolysaccharide로 자극했을 경우, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6는 무첨가군에 비해 별다른 증진효과를 나타내지 않았으나, 자극하지 않은 RAW 264.7 세포에 대해서는 $TNF-{\alpha}$는 12.6에서 67.8배, Il-6는 2.8에서 10.1배 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로 더덕열수추출물을 이용하여 노화 및 질병에 따라 수반되는 면역력 감소를 방지하는 기능성식품 및 신소재로의 개발이 기대된다.

Objectives : Silkworm is known as immunomodulatory substances and contain various bioactive compounds such as serine, tyrosine and alanine. The aim of this study was to investigated the immunopotentiating activity of combine extract that silkworm and food materials (Eucommia ulmoides, Angelica gigas, Acanthopanax, Allium hookeri, Cinnamomum cassia, Liriope platyphylla, Curcuma longa, Achyranthes japonica, Alpinia oxyphylla, Adenophora triphylla). Methods : Among 10 kinds of food materials, to select food materials with the effect of enhancing the immune function mouse splenocyte proliferation ability was measured by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y]-2,5-diphenyl terazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Then, combine extract of silkworm and food materials were evaluated that mouse splenocyte proliferation ability by EZ-cytox cell viability assay. Morever, cytokines production such as IL-2, IL-4, IL10, IL12, $IFN-{\gamma}$ on mouse T lymphocyte stimulated with concanavalin A (ConA) was measured. Results : Eucommia ulmoides, Acanthopanax, Allium hookeri, Cinnamomum cassia, Liriope platyphylla has high proliferation ability of mouse splenocyte compared with Curcuma longa, Achyranthes japonica, Alpinia oxyphylla, Adenophora triphylla. The silkworm and food material combined extract has a relatively high proliferation ability of mouse splenocyte proliferation when the silkworm and food materials are used as a single material. In particularly, combined extract of silkworm and Cinnamomum cassia was stimulate cytokine production on T lymphocyte such as IL12, $IFN-{\gamma}$.

본 연구는 참치의 석유 에텔 추출물로 부터 항암 효과가 있는 활성 성분을 분리 정제하고, 흰생쥐의 임파모 세포인 LI210 과 P388, 인체 장암세포인 HCT-48, HT-29 및 HRT-18를 대상으로 단계별로 얻어지는 성분의 항암 활성올 측정하고, 그 물질의 생체내에서의 작용 기전을 밝히기 위해 여러가지 면역학적 실험을 수행하였다. In vitro배양액에서의 인체 결장암세포인 H HCT-48에 대해, crude extract는 배양액 1ml강 $60\mu\textrm{g}$ 첨가시 증식이 2배로 억제되었으며(1 unit), 이를 column chromatography 수행하여 얻은 fraction D의 1 unit은 $2 22\mu\textrm{g}$이며, 다시 TLC를 하여 얻은 Spot I 의 1 unit은 $9\mu\textrm{g}$으로서 정제 했을때 277배 증가하였다. Spot I 은 GC/ M5에 의해 7가지 성분이 섞여있는 혼합물로서 이 중 4가지 생분은 $C_{14:0},\;C_{16:0},\;C_{17:1},\;및\;C_{18:0}$인 지방산으로 확인이 되었으며, 나머지 3가지는 지방 성분으로 분자식은 확인되지 않았다. 다른 인체 장암 세포인 HT-29과 HRT-18에 대한 crude extract의 1 unit은 $64\mu\textrm{g}\;및\;54\mu\textrm{g}$이었으며 frattion D의 1 unit에 해당하는 양은 두 세포 모두 약 $34\mu\textrm{g}$이었다. 또한, 생쥐의 백혈병 성 임파모 세포인 L1210과 P388의 경우 crude extract의 1 unit에 해당하는 양은 $2-2.5\mu\textrm{g}$이며, fraction D의 경우는 $1.2-1.4\mu\textrm{g}$으로서 참치 추출물의 세포 종식 억제력은 백혈병성 임파모세포에서 인체 장암세포보다 높았으며, 암세포의 종류에 따라 효과의 차이가 있었다. 참치 추출물(fraction D)을 첨가한 배양액에서 배양한 HCT-48 세포획 크기 분포도는 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 세포의 크기가 작아지며, 현미경 사진에서 보면 본래의 형태가 위축되거나, 세포의 주위가 흐트러지면서 사면 현상을 보였다. 참치 석유 에텔 추출물에는 DHA가 18.8%를 차지 하며 EPA는, 3.25% 포함되어 있었다. 대조군 생쥐에 비해 S-180을 접종한 후 참지 추출물을 투여한 생쥐에서 용혈반 형성 세포수와 혈청 단백질 중 immunoglobulin의 relative %가 현저히 증가되었다. 그러나 비장의 자연 살해 세포의 활성에는 변화를주지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 참치의 석유 에델 추출물중에 in vitro에서 인체 장암세포 및 백혈병성 임파모세포의 증식 억제 및 생체내에서 면역 증강 효과를 나타내는 성분이 존재함을 알 수 있다.
