  • We compared the effects of genistein and daidzein on the expression of chemokines, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$-stimulated human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). TNF-${\alpha}$ exposure significantly increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-l, vascular adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Genistein significantly decreased MCP-l and VCAM-l production in a dose-dependent manner, whereas CAM expression was not significantly lowered by genistein treatment. However, daidzein slightly decreased MCP-l production. The effects of genistein and daidzein on MCP-l secretion coincided with mRNA expression. Pre-treatment with either genistein or daidzein elevated eNOS expression and nitric oxide production disturbed by TNF-${\alpha}$ exposure. A low concentration of isoflavones significantly inhibited nuclear factor (NF)${\kappa}$B activation, whereas a high dose slightly ameliorated these inhibitive effects. These results suggest that genistein had a stronger effect on MCP-l and eNOS expression than that of daidzein. Additionally, NF${\kappa}$B transactivation might be partially related to the down-regulation of these mRNAs in TNF-${\alpha}$-stimulated HUVECs.

  • Nafamostat mesilate (NM) is a serine protease inhibitor with anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects. NM has been used in Asia for anticoagulation during extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation. Oxidative stress is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease and is associated with vascular endothelial function. We investigated whether NM could inhibit endothelial dysfunction induced by tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$ ). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with TNF-${\alpha}$ for 24 h. The effects of NM on monocyte adhesion, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) protein expression, p38 mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, and intracellular superoxide production were then examined. NM ($0.01{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect HUVEC viability; however, it inhibited the increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and p66shc expression elicited by TNF-${\alpha}$ (3 ng/mL), and it dose dependently prevented the TNF-${\alpha}$ -induced upregulation of endothelial VCAM-1 and ICAM-1. In addition, it mitigated TNF-${\alpha}$ -induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation and the adhesion of U937 monocytes. These data suggest that NM mitigates TNF-${\alpha}$ -induced monocyte adhesion and the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules, and that the anti-adhesive effect of NM is mediated through the inhibition of p66shc, ROS production, and p38 MAPK activation.

  • 동백잎의 열수 추출물이 신생혈관 생성억제 효과가 강하게 나타남으로써 이들 추출물에 대한 독성 시험을 HUVECs를 사용하여 검토한 바는 200 ug/mL에서도 독성이 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 1.5, 3.0, 15 및 30 ug/mL으로 농도가 증가함에 따라 각각 30.7%, 38.5%, 53.8% 그리고 70.0%의 신생혈관 생성억제율을 보였다. 세포부착 저해효과는 C. japonica leaf (CJL)의 농도가 50, 100, $200{\mu}g{/well}$으로 증가할 때 E-selectin이 46.7%, 66.7% 그리고 86.76%, VCAM-1이 23.0%, 61.5% 그리고 84.6%, ICAM-1이 11.0%, 55.5% 그리고 88.8%로 나타났다. C. japonica leaf (CJL)의 성분 증가에 따라 발현이 감소되는 것을 보아 농도가 증가함에 따라 cell adhesion의 저해 효과가 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 신호전달의 기전규명은 western blot으로 행하였으며 CJL의 농도가 증가함에 따라 밴드의 발현이 약해지는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 따라서 신호전달 분자인 VEGFR-2, $\beta$-catenin, Pl3-K는 CJL에 의해 신호전달이 차단되는 것을 볼 수 있고, 이는 NF-${\kappa}$B를 억제함으로서 신생혈관 생성을 저해하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 동백잎은 신생혈관 생성에 의존하고 있는 것으로 알려진 암 등의 치료와 암전이의 억제, 류마치스성 관절염, 그리고 항비만제제로서 개발될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Present review is built on base of research work on Ganoderma lucidum in our laboratory. A great deal of experimental evidence has suggested that the pharmacological activities of Ganoderma lucidum(Lingzhi) are related to anti-oxidative and free radical scavenging activity. The anti-oxidative and free radical scavenging effects of polysaccharides and triterpenoids isolated from Ganoderma lucidum in different oxidative injury models including tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBOOH)- damaged mice peritoneal macrophages, alloxan-induced diabetes, experimental liver injury models induced by carbon tetrachloride (CC14), D-galactosamine (DGal) and Bacillus Calmette-Guerin(BCG) plus lipopolysaccharides(LPS) were investigated. It is also demonstrated that Lugu lingzhi, one of Ganoderma product, significantly inhibited LDL oxidation mediated by endothelial cells and decreased monocyte adhesion to endothelial cell (EC) induced by Oxidative low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and advanced glycation endproducts(AGE). Lugulingzhi-treated serum could markedly inhibit the expression of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-l (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-l (VCAM-1) induced by ox-LDL and AGE.

  • 본 연구에서는 다양한 생리활성물질을 다량 함유하고 있는 국내산(전라북도 부안군) 오디의 혈액순환장애의 개선 효과를 확인하기 위하여 in vitro 및 고지혈증 동물모델을 이용한 실험을 진행하였다. MBE가 DPPH 라디칼을 50% 소거하는 $SC_{50}$값은 $89.36{\pm}5.46{\mu}g/mL$로 정제되지 않은 복합물질임을 감안하면 다른 식물추출물에 비해 항산화능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. RAW 264.7 세포 및 HepG2 세포에 대한 MBE의 세포독성은 2,500 ${\mu}g/mL$ 이하의 농도를 처리한 경우 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. In vitro 실험에서 COX-2의 활성저해 효과를 측정한 결과 MBE의 $IC_{50}$값은 $215.94{\pm}18.15$이었고, human LDL의 산화억제 효과는 최종반응 농도가 200 및 400 ${\mu}g/mL$일 경우 유의적인 감소(P<0.05) 효과가 있었다. 또한 TNF-${\alpha}$에 의하여 활성화된 HUVECs에서 MBE가 증가된 ICAM-1 및 VCAM-1의 발현을 감소(P<0.05)시켰으며 LPS에 의하여 활성화된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 MBE가 증가된 COX-2 및 5-LO의 발현을 감소(P<0.05)시킴을 알 수 있었다. 고지혈증 동물모델을 이용한 실험에서 MBE의 일부 실험군(200 mg 및 400 mg/kg 체중/day, 14 days)에서 혈청 total cholesterol의 수치는 음성대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소(P<0.05)시켰으나 혈청 C-reactive protein의 수치는 모든 실험군에서 음성대조군 대비 유의적으로 감소하지 않았다. 이러한 MBE의 항산화능, COX-2 활성억제 및 COX-2와 5-LO의 발현억제를 통한 염증억제, 혈중 total cholesterol 감소를 통한 이상지질혈증의 개선 효과 및 ICAM-1과 VCAM-1의 발현억제를 통한 혈관협착 방지의 효과들을 종합해 보면 오디추출물인 MBE가 혈액순환장애를 유발하거나 확대시키는 다양한 핵심요소들을 다각도로 개선시킴으로써 혈액순환장애의 예방과 치료에 긍정적인 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • DJ#3과 DJ#13은 항염증질환 소재로서 가능성을 확인하고자 국내 전통식품 풀질인증 된장에서 장기간 숙성된장으로 선발된 시료이다. DJ#3과 DJ#13 추출물의 세포독성을 살펴보기 위하여 혈관내피세포를 이용하여 세포의 생존율을 살펴본 결과 DJ#3과 DJ#13 추출물 모두 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도까지 전혀 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 또한 DJ#3과 DJ#13 추출물의 항염증 효과를 TNF-${\alpha}$에 의해 활성화된 혈관내피세포에서의 NO 생성, 염증관련 단백질 발현과 mRNA 유전자 발현의 변화를 통하여 확인하였다. 혈관내피세포에 TNF-${\alpha}$를 처리한 결과 NO의 함량이 유의적으로 감소하였다가 DJ#3과 DJ#13 추출물(20, 50, $100{\mu}g/mL$)을 처리하였을 때 유의성은 없으나 증가하였다. 세포배양액내 VCAM-1, ICAM-1 발현을 확인한 결과 혈관내피세포에 TNF-${\alpha}$를 처리한 군에서 증가된 VCAM-1 발현이 DJ#3 추출물 20, $50{\mu}g/mL$에서 유의성 있는 감소를 보였다. 또한 DJ#3 추출물은 NO 생성과 연관 있는 eNOS mRNA의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으며, iNOS mRNA의 발현은 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며 이는 NO 생성 증가가 iNOS의 발현억제를 경유한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 다수의 항염증 약물들의 작용기전이 되는 COX-2의 생성억제를 살펴본 결과 DJ#3 추출물은 TNF-${\alpha}$에 의해 발현되는 COX-2 단백질의 발현을 억제하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, DJ#3 추출물은 CAMs 단백질 및 mRNA 발현율의 감소됨을 보였다, 이상의 결과로 보아, DJ#3 추출물은 혈관내피세포에서 TNF-${\alpha}$로 유도된 혈관염증을 감소하는 효과를 가지고 있으며, 항염증물질의 연구에 기초 자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 염증과 관련된 cytokine 및 단백질 발현 메커니즘에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Antioxidant and anti-rheumatoid activities of Cirsium japonicum leaf extract (CJLE) were investigated in this study. CJLE had similar DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power to ascorbic acid and several flavonoids. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory tissue-destructive disease, partly related with functions of hyaluronidases (HAases) and collgenases. CJLE ($1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$) had approximately 60.7 and 31.9% inhibition of HAase and collagenase activity, respectively. Also, CJLE inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitrite production in a dose-dependent manner, and CJLE ($1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$) suppressed approximately 70% of LPS-induced nitrite production effectively in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. CJLE had inhibitory effects on the adherence of monocytic THP-1 to human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayers to the basal level. Inhibitory effect of CJLE on the adhesion was caused by suppression of tumor necrosis factor-a-upregulated expression of vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin. We expect that CJLE may alleviate the inflammatory process in rheumatoid synovium, and these findings will raise the possibility of the usage of C. japonicum as a traditional pharmaceutical of anti-rheumatoid arthritis.
