본 연구에서는 추출용매에 완도산 다시마와 쇠미역의 항산화, 항노화 활성을 살펴보고 페놀화합물 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 먼저 다시마와 쇠미역 추출물의 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 다시마 메탄올추출물(4.64 mgTAN/g), 쇠미역 메탄올추출물(4.19 mgQUE/g)이 다른 추출물에 비해 높은 함량을 보였다. 또한 다시마와 쇠미역의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 모두 열수 추출물에서 가장 낮은 활성을 보였으며 쇠미역 주정추출물에서 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거능(IC₅₀ = 42.5 ㎍/µL)을 나타냈다. ABTS 라디칼 소거능과 FRAP 활성 측정 결과 다시마와 쇠미역 모두 열수보다 주정과 메탄올 추출물에서 높은 활성을 보였으며, 특히 쇠미역이 다시마보다 높은 ABTS 라디칼 소거능과 FRAP 활성을 나타냈다. 또한 다시마와 쇠미역 추출물의 SOD, CAT, APX 활성은 열수, 주정 추출물보다 메탄올 추출물에서, 그리고 쇠미역보다 다시마에서 높은 SOD, CAT, APX 활성이 확인되어 다시마 메탄올 추출물에서 뛰어난 항산화 효소 활성을 보였다. 그 다음으로 Collagenase, elastase 저해 활성은 쇠미역 메탄올 추출물과 다시마 주정추출물에서 각각 88.3, 19.0%의 우수한 collagenase 및 elastase 저해활성을 보였다. 미백 효과를 평가하기 위해 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 측정한 결과에서는 다시마와 쇠미역 모두 메탄올 추출물에서 각각 41.8, 30.3%로 나타나 다른 추출용매에 비해 높은 tyrosinase 저해활성이 측정되었으며, 주로 쇠미역보다 다시마에서 우수한 tyrosinase저해활성이 관찰되었다. 마지막으로 추출용매에 따른 다시마와 쇠미역 추출물의 페놀화합물 함량(4-hydroxybenzoic acid, naringenin, naringin, nicotinic acid) 분석 결과 4-hydroxybenzoic acid 함량은 다시마 메탄올 추출물(8.25 ㎍/g), naringenin과 naringin 함량은 각각 쇠미역 주정추출물(0.58 ㎍/g), 다시마 주정추출물(661.66 ㎍/g), 마지막으로 nicotinic acid 함량은 쇠미역 주정 추출물에서 18.06 ㎍/g으로 가장 높은 함량이 측정되었다. 본 실험 결과 다시마와 쇠미역은 메탄올과 주정 추출물에서 열수 추출물에 비해 높은 폴리페놀 함량, 항산화 및 항노화 활성과 naringenin, naringin, nicotinic acid 함량이 나타났으며, 다시마와 쇠미역에 포함된 다양한 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 물질이 다시마와 쇠미역의 항산화활성에 관여한 것으로 확인되어 다시마와 쇠미역 주정 및 메탄올 추출물의 추출조건을 확립할 수 있었고, 이를 이용한 건강 기능성 식품 소재로 활용과 화장품 소재개발에 대한 가능성이 증가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, regarded as a major cause of extrinsic aging or photoaging characterized by wrinkle formation and skin dehydration, exerts adverse effects on skin by causing the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Agastache rugosa Kuntze, known as Korean mint, possesses a wide spectrum of biological properties including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-atherosclerosis. Previous studies have reported that A. rugosa protected human keratinocytes against UVB irradiation by restoring the anti-oxidant defense system. However, the anti-photoaging effect of A. rugosa extract (ARE) in animal models has not yet been evaluated. ARE was orally administered to hairless mice at doses of 100 or 250 mg/kg/day along with UVB exposure for 12 weeks. ARE histologically improved UVB-induced wrinkle formation, epidermal thickening, erythema, and hyperpigmentation. In addition, ARE recovered skin moisture by improving skin hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Along with this, ARE increased hyaluronic acid levels by upregulating HA synthase genes. ARE markedly increased the density of collagen and the amounts of hydroxypoline via two pathways. First, ARE significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases responsible for collagen degradation by inactivating the mitogen-activated protein kinase/activator protein 1 pathway. Second, ARE stimulated the transforming growth factor beta/Smad signaling, consequently raising the mRNA levels of collagen-related genes. In addition, ARE not only increased the mRNA expression of anti-oxidant enzymes but also decreased inflammatory cytokines by blocking the protein expression of nuclear factor kappa B. Collectively, our findings suggest that A. rugosa may be a potential preventive and therapeutic agent for photoaging.

Plant essential oils are used in products such as fragrances and cosmetics due to their individual aromatic characteristics. Currently, essential oils are not only used in cosmetics but also in pharmaceutical products with anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, insecticidal, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, psychophysiological, or anti-aging effects. Despite their pharmaceutical properties, some studies reported cytotoxic effects in high doses. Therefore, for pharmaceutical purposes, the margin of safety of essential oils needs to be examined. Herein, we evaluated the IC₅₀ of 10 essential oil from Korean native plants: Juniperus chinensis L. var. sargentii Henry, Citrus natsudaidai Hayata, Citrus reticulata Blanco, Citrus unshiu (Yu. Tanaka ex Swingle) Marcow, Artemisia capillaris Thunb, Aster glehnii F. Schmidt, Juniperus chinensis L, Zanthoxylum schinifolium Siebold & Zucc, Zanthoxylum piperitum (L.) D, and Cinnamomum loureirii. In addition, gene regulation of the cell-cycle gene and apoptosis marker CASP3 was examined at the IC₅₀ level. The purpose of this study was to describe the toxic concentrations of essential oils extracted from Korean native plants, thereby providing toxic concentration guidelines for inclusion in a toxicity database and in the application of plant essential oils in various fields.

Esculetin (also known as 6, 7-dihydroxycoumarin) a type of coumarin, has been exhibited anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. Biorenovation is the microbe-mediated enhancement of biological efficacies and structurally diversified compounds relative to their substrate compounds. The production of different kinds of esculetin derivatives using Bacillus sp. JD3-7 and their effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-triggered inflammatory response in RAW 26.7 cells were assessed. One of the biorenovation products, identified as esculetin 6-O-phosphate (ESP), at concentrations of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 μM inhibited the LPS-stimulated production of inflammation markers of nitric oxide synthase 2 and cyclooxygenase 2 as well as their respective enzymatic reaction products of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 in the order of increasing concentrations (1.25, 2.5, and 5 μM). Additionally, ESP treatment suppressed the LPS-stimulated secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor- α. Furthermore, these anti-inflammatory effect of ESP was associated with the downregulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, that is, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. This study would therefore provide interesting insights into the biorenovation-assisted generation of a novel anti-inflammatory compound. ESP may be used to develop treatments for inflammatory disorders.

본 연구에서는 기능성 화장품의 소재로서의 금전초(Lysimachia christinae Hance)의 항산화와 항주름 효과를 조사하였다. 최근 천연물의 주름 개선 개발의 연구가 지속적인 관심을 받고 있어 본 연구를 통해 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS) 생성과 pro-collagen 합성 및 MMPs의 연관성에 대해 알아보았다. 금전초는 70% 에탄올(LcHE)과 열수(LcHW)로 각각 추출하여 실험을 진행하였다. HaCaT cells에서 LcHE가 LcHW보다 ROS 저해효능이 더 우수하고 세포독성 결과 250 ㎍/mL 농도까지 독성을 보이지 않아 LcHE를 선택하여 주름 개선 소재연구를 진행하였다. pro-collagen 합성실험을 통하여 UVB에 의해 감소된 type-1 pro-collagen의 합성 활성을 유의미하게 확인하였다. Western blot 실험을 통하여 피부세포에서 UVB에 의해 유도된 MMPs 중 MMP-1 -3 -9의 증가를 억제함을 확인하였으며, Real time PCR을 통하여 상위단계인 mRNA levels에서도 MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9의 mRNA levels가 농도 의존적으로 유의미한 감소를 보여 추출물의 효능을 확인하였다. 위의 실험결과에 따라 UVB에 의한 주름생성과 피부 광노화를 효과적으로 예방할 수 있는 화장품의 천연소재로서의 이용이 기대된다.

The thioredoxin (Trx) system plays critical roles in regulating intracellular redox levels and defending organisms against oxidative stress. Recent studies indicated that Trx reductase (TrxR) was overexpressed in various types of human cancer cells indicating that the Trx-TrxR system may be a potential target for anti-cancer drug development. This study investigated the synergistic effect of auranofin, a TrxR-specific inhibitor, on sulforaphane-mediated apoptotic cell death using Hep3B cells. The results showed that sulforaphane significantly enhanced auranofin-induced apoptosis by inhibiting TrxR activity and cell proliferation compared to either single treatment. The synergistic effect of sulforaphane and auranofin on apoptosis was evidenced by an increased annexin-V-positive cells and Sub-G1 cells. The induction of apoptosis by the combined treatment caused the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and upregulation of Bax. In addition, the proteolytic activities of caspases (-3, -8, and -9) and the degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, a substrate protein of activated caspase-3, were also higher in the combined treatment. Moreover, combined treatment induced excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, treatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a ROS scavenger, reduced combined treatment-induced ROS production and apoptosis. Thereby, these results deduce that ROS played a pivotal role in apoptosis induced by auranofin and sulforaphane. Furthermore, apoptosis induced by auranofin and sulforaphane was significantly increased through inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that down-regulation of TrxR activity contributed to the synergistic effect of auranofin and sulforaphane on apoptosis through ROS production and inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
