본 연구는 희귀식물로 지정되어 있는 울릉도 미역고사리의 자생지 환경을 조사하여 보전 및 복원 시 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 조사결과 미역고사리의 자생지는 해발고도 410~748m 범위와 경사 $12{\sim}80^{\circ}$의 암석지에 주로 생육하는 것으로 조사되었다. 식생분석결과 4개 지역의 10개 방형구내에서 조사된 관속식물은 총 66분류군이었다. 자생지 상층수목 중 교목층의 중요치는 고로쇠나무(49.52%)가 아교목층은 당마가목(28.99%)이 가장 높았으며, 관목층은 바위수국(51.99%), 섬쥐똥나무(8.82%), 너도밤나무(7.25%)가 높은 값을 보였다. 초본층은 미역고사리가 23.23%로 가장 높았으며, 다음으로는 큰두루미꽃(9.65%), 파리풀(9.23%), 관중(8.40%), 산꼬리사초(6.75%), 섬바디(5.42%) 등이 높은 값을 보여 이 종류들이 친화도가 높은 것으로 판단된다. 종다양도는 1.18로 산출되었으며, 우점도와 균등도는 각각 0.11와 0.84로 확인되었다. 토양분석 결과 토성은 사양토로 나타났으며, 포장용수량은 30.42%, 유기물함량은 17.95%, pH는 4.70으로 측정되었다. 환경특성과 식생 및 토양분석 결과에 기초한 상관분석에서는 종다양도와 종풍부도는 정의 상관관계를 보였고, 종다양도와 우점도 그리고 미역고사리의 피도와 종풍부도는 부의상관관계를 형성하였다.

미역고사리(Polypodium vutgare L.)와 쇠무릎(Achyranthes japonica Nakai)에 있어서 광과 methyl jasmonate(MJ), 6-benzylaminopurine(BA), thidiazuron(TDZ), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D)가 식물체 중의 ecdysteroids (${\beta}$-ecdysone+polypodine B) 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수광량을 조절하여 재배한 미역고사리의 잎과 근경 모두 상대광도가 높을수록 ecdysteroids 함량이 감소하였고 쇠무릎 유묘의 배양시 광 조건일 때가 암 조건일 때 보다 ecdysteroids함량이 낮아 식물의 ecdysteroids 함량은 광에 의해 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 미역고사리 전엽체와 쇠무릎 유묘의 배양계에서 식물체 중의 ecdysteroids 함량은 배지 중의 MJ와 BA 그리고 TDZ의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가된 반면 2,4-D의 농도와는 무관하게 일정한 수준으로 유지되어,식물의 ecdysteroids 함량은 MJ와 cytokinin처리에 의해 증가되지만 auxin처리에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aimed to develop a suitable method for inducing the proliferation of prothallus and producing sporophytes of rock polypody (Polypodium vulgare L.). The prothalli used in all experiments were obtained from spore germination and sub-cultured for 8-week intervals. The most appropriate media for prothallus propagation were investigated by culturing 300 mg of prothallus in MS ($1/4{\times}$, $1/2{\times}$, $1{\times}$, and $2{\times}$ strength) medium and in Knop medium for 8 weeks. Cultures were maintained at a temperature of $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, light intensity of $30{\pm}1.0{\mu}mol-m-2{\cdot}s-1$, and a photoperiod of 16/8 h (light/dark). Fresh weight of prothalli was 4.8 g on $1{\times}$ MS, 4.5 g on $1/2{\times}$ MS and 4.3 g on 1/4 MS medium. To select a suitable soil combination for sporophyte formation, 1.0 g of prothallus was ground with distilled water, spread in five combinations onto different soil substrates (decomposed granite, horticultural substrates, peat moss, and perlite), and then cultivated for 13 weeks. The sporophyte cultures were maintained at a temperature of $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, light intensity of $43{\pm}2.0{\mu}mol-m-2{\cdot}s-1$, humidity of $84{\pm}1.4%$, and a photoperiod of 16/8 h (light/dark). The results showed that a mixture containing a 2:1 (v:v) ratio of horticultural substrate and perlite, increased sporophyte formation to 462.5 sporophytes per pot (7.5 cm2). The other soil substrates produced from 314.5 to 405.3 sporophytes per pot. Therefore, our results will provide conditions suitable for mass production of Polypodium vulgare L.

There are several data in the literature indicating a great variety of pharmacological activities of Polypodium genus, which exhibit antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Since one of our main interests is to obtain natural immunoregulatory agents devoid of pharmacological adverse effects, we used flow cytometry analysis to highlight relative contributions of a water-soluble fraction of different concentrations of Polypodium rhizome extracts on lymphocyte subpopulations, NK and LAK activity. To measure their potential immunoregulatory activity a T cell proliferation assay in response to phytohemaglutinin (PHA) and mixed lymphocyte reactions were chosen. As a confirmatory bioassay we studied the effect of our extracts on CD45RO and CD95 antigen expressions. The results indicate that CD95 expression dramatically increases after peripheral blood lymphocyte activation and treatment with Polypodium leucotomus, cambricum and vulgare extracts, suggesting a powerful intrinsic pro-apoptotic effect.

Although the field of study in immune enhancing compounds is relatively new, natural products from plants represent a rich and promising source of novel molecules with immunomodulating properties, Microglial cells, the main immune effector cells of the brain, usually display a ramified morphology and low expression levels of immunologically relevant antigens such as MHC class I and class II. Since any compound which participates in activation of phagocytic cells contributes to the production of potentially toxic factors, the search for convenient in vitro test-systems and study of mechanisms of action of these agents are of great interest. Human blood polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells and primary microglial cells isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats were used as cellular screening tests for study of phagocytosis-stimulating action of immunomodulating agents. Numbers of phagocytic activity were evaluated by the phagocyte ingestion of yeast cells and NO-synthase activity, nitrite production, and nitroblue tetrazolium test were determined after phagocyte stimulation. It was possible to demonstrate that indexes of phagocytic activity can be used as quantitative indicators for measurement immunomodulating activity. As a positive control, Zymosan A-induced phagocytosis in both PMN cells and primary microglial cells was used. $IFN-{\gamma}$ (0.1 -1 U/ml) stimulated phagocytosis in PMN cells 1.2 times after 2 - 3 h incubation, although at higher concentrations (10 - 100 U/ml) it strongly inhibited phagocytosis. In a similar way, at higher concentrations, $IFN-{\gamma}$ (100 - 500 U/ml) suppressed phagocytosis in zymosan-A stimulated microglial cells. When Polypodium leucotomus, cambricum and vulgare extracts were tested alone, increased levels of phagocytosis were observed in PMN. In addition, microglial cells showed both increased phagocytosis and MHC class-II antigen expressions. Surprisingly, when PMN and microglia were treated with a combination of Polypodium and $IFN-{\gamma}$, phagocytosis was not inhibited. We did not find changes in NO-synthase activity and nitrite production in both microglia and PMN cells activated by different immunomodulating agents. These results indicate that primary microglial cell cultures as well as human PMN cells can provide reproducible quantitative results in screening phagocytic activity of different immunoactive compounds. Furthermore, both inhibitory or activation mechanisms might be studied using these in vitro experimental approaches.
