  • This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of topping time and fertilizer split application on the growth and root yield of Scutellaria baicalensis G. In case of stem cutting at 25cm above the soil surface early in July and middle in August, plant height was reduced by 37cm compared with nontreatment, but stem diameter, the number of branch per plant and the growth of root increased. Topping treatment twice produced the highest dry root yield (182kg/10a) of all, 15% higher than nontreatment. When nitrogen and potassium were applied by the basal dressing with 60% and by the top dressing early in July and middle in August with 20% in each time, the growth of plant (both top and root) increased. The dry root yield per 10a in top dressing twice was 12% higher than once.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Bacillus-fermented Scutellariae Radix acupuncture solution (SB) on chemokine and growth factor production in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods : Productions of chemokine and growth factor were measured by High-throughput Multiplex Bead based Assay with Bio-plex Suspension Array System based on xMAP$^{(R)}$ technology. Firstly, cell culture supernatant was obtained after treatment with LPS (1 ${\mu}g$/mL) and SB for 24 hours. Then, it was incubated with the antibody-conjugated beads for 30 minutes. Detection antibody was then added and incubated for 30 minutes. After incubated for 30 minutes, strepavidin-conjugated phycoerythrin (SAPE) was added. After another 30 minutes incubation, the level of SAPE fluorescence was analyzed in Bio-plex Suspension Array System. Results : The results of the experiment are as follows. 1. SB significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interferon-inducible protein (IP)-10, and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) at the concentration of 25, 50, 100, and 200 ${\mu}g$/mL in RAW 264.7 cells (P < 0.05). 2. SB significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of Eotaxin at the concentration of 25, 100, and 200 ${\mu}g$/mL in RAW 264.7 cells (P < 0.05). 3. SB significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of MIP-$1\alpha$ at the concentration of 25 and 100 ${\mu}g$/mL in RAW 264.7 cells (P < 0.05). Conclusions : These results suggest that SB has immuno-modulatory property related with its inhibition of VEGF, IP-10, G-CSF, and Eotaxin production in macrophages.

  • Eleven functional plant materials were identified via a literature search, and their antioxidant capacity and inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells were tested. Yields from hot water extracts of the materials were the highest (52.10%) in Lycii fructus, and the yields from Phellinus linteus were the lowest (5.7%). The yields of another were 14.50-42.47%. Total phenol and flavonoids contents were the highest in P. linteus. The $EC_{50}$ values for DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were lower than $100{\mu}g/ml$ for Salvia miltiorrhiza, whereas the values for P. linteus, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Paeonia lactiflora were $100-200{\mu}g/ml$. The $EC_{50}$ value for the superoxide anion radical scavenging activity of all the extracts was higher than $300{\mu}g/ml$. P. linteus for the reducing power was shown the highest activity. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity was the highest in the Morus alba extract. In an MTT assay, the cell viability of the RAW264.7 LPS-exposed cells was above 80% in extracts of $50{\mu}g/ml$ and above 77% in extracts of $100{\mu}g/ml$ in all the plant materials except Acanthopanax sessiliflorum. NO production in the RAW264.7 LPS-exposed cells showed a 12-fold increase compared to the control. The NO production level of all the extracts was $6.86-26.18{\mu}M$. Notably, $100{\mu}g/ml$ of S. baicalensis extract showed a remarkable decrease in NO production (72%) compared with the control. The potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of S.baicalensis, P. linteus, S. miltiorrhiza, M. alba, and P. lactiflora suggest that they are potential candidates as functional materials.

  • Objective : 황금의 유방암세포주에 대한 항암효과 및 기전에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡하며, 특히 에스트로젠리셉터를 가지지않은 유방암세포주인 MDA-MB-231에 대한 효과 및 기전에 대한 연구는 아직 발표된바 없어, 이에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. Methods : 인간 유방암세포주 MDA-MB-231 MTT assay를 이용 성장방해비율을 조사하였으며. FACS analysis를 이용 cell cycle analysis를 시행하였고, Western Blot Analysis 및 Annexin V analysis를 시행하였다. Results : MDA-MB-231에 대한 황금의 IC50는 180 ug/ml 이었으며 최대 세포성장억제효과는 $500{\mu}g/ml$로 한약재중 비교적 강한 세포독성을 보여 주었다. 유세포분석 에서 황금 $500{\mu}g/ml$의 농도를 72시간 투여한 경우 세포사멸(Sub Gl) 분율이 대조군의 1.7%에 비해 21%로 높아 현저한 용량의존적인 세포사멸현상을 보여주었으며, 세포사멸을 보다 명확히 규명할 수 있는 Annexin V analysis에서도 황금 $200{\mu}g/ml$농도일때 48시간에서 17%의 뚜렷한 세포사멸효과를 나타내었다. 한편 세포사멸촉진인자인 Bax, 세포사멸실행단백질인자인 caspase 3의 활성과 PARP의 분할은 세포사멸이 세포주기정지와 더불어 세포사멸의 과정에 p53이 관여함을 알 수 있다. 앞으로의 연구는 p53발현이 다른 세포주와 각 단백질의 억제제를 통해 인과적인 관련성을 즘 더 명확히 할 필요가 있어야 할 것으로 생각되어진다. Conclusion : 유방암의 예후에 있어 호르몬치료에 부적절함으로 인해 예후가 나쁜 에스트로젠리셉터 발현이 없는 유방암에 대해서도 황금이 탁월한 항암효과를 보여주고 있으며, 임상적으로 황금단독, 다른 항암약재와의 배합, 그리고 기존의 항암화학요법이나 방사선요법과의 병용투여를 통한 초기 및 진행된 유방암의 치료에 대한 새로운 접근의 실마리를 제공할 것으로 생각된다.

  • In bone remodeling imbalances that are caused by increased bone resorption over bone formation lead to adult skeletal diseases. Thus, we have screened various natural products for their ability to regulate the differentiation of osteoclasts to propose candidates for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Zizyphus Jujuba Miller var. extracts of 140 natural products inhibited the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclast, as showed by the reduced number of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells and decreased TRAP activity.

  • Objectives : This study aims at examining the immuno-modulating activity in the fermentative extract of the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Scutellariae Radix) on the production of inflammatory mediator in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. Method : Measurements were done for the influences on the cell viability, generation of hydrogen peroxide in cells and nitric oxide (NO) generation using the macrophage of mouse with the specimen SBS as the fermentative extract of Scutellariae Radix (SBS) with Saccharomyces cerevisiae STV89. Result : As a result of carrying out MTT assay to check the cellular toxicity of the fermentative extract of Scutellariae Radix, any excessive toxicity to the macrophage did not occur from treatments by concentration for SBS. SBS increased the generation of hydrogen peroxide in the macrophage. SBS suppressed the NO generated in macrophages and SBS concentration higher than $25{\mu}g/mL$ significantly suppressed the increased NO generated in LPS-stimulated macrophages. SBS concentration higher than $25{\mu}g/mL$ significantly suppressed the generation of IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40 and MCP-1 in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Conclusion : Our findings indicate that SBS has an immuno-modulating activity in macrophage activation through suppressing the generation of inflammatory substances, NO, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40 and MCP-1.

  • The physiochemical characteristics and sensory properties of the Samgyetang herb to which different dried medicinal herbs were added were investigated to find the best formulation for the product. For the Samgyetang herbal product, Schizandra chinensis, Atractylodes lancea, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and Zizyphus jujube were used at a fixed ratio in the formulation, and Paeonia lactiflora (PL), Codonopsis lanceolata (CL), and Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) were added, with different amounts. The pH of Samgyetang increased along with the SB amount, and the soluble-solid content increased along with the CL amount. S7, which had the highest SB addition level, had the highest L value, and the b values were the highest in S7, which had the highest SB addition level. In the sensory evaluation, S7, which had the highest amount of SB, had the highest score in flavor, taste, and overall acceptability. In conclusion, the best formulation for Samgyetang would include PL 8 g, CL 4 g, SB 12 g, Schizandra chinensis 6 g, Atractylodes lancea 4 g, Glycyrrhiza uralensis 2 g, and Zizyphus jujube 4 g.
