항균 펩타이드는 동물과 식물이 가지고 있는 고유의 항균 물질로 적은 양으로도 강한 항균활성을 나타내며 이외에도 항바이러스, 항산화 등 다양한 기능을 가지고 있다. 식물은 물과 햇빛으로 키울 수 있어 적은 비용으로 대량 생산이 가능하다. 식물의 엽록체를 형질전환 시켜 항균 펩타이드를 생산하면 단백질 발현량이 증가하고 꽃가루에 의한 유전자 이동이 일어나지 않기 때문에 생태계가 오염될 가능성이 적다. 그러나 형질전환 된 엽록체를 이용하여 재조합 단백질을 생산하면 단백질이 분해되고 용해도가 감소한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 융합 단백질 종류 중 하나인 SUMO를 발현시킬 재조합 단백질과 융합하여 제작하였다. 항균 펩타이드 stomoxyn은 침파리(stable fly)에 있는 항균물질이다. Stomoxyn은 α-helix 구조이고 양친매성이어서 박테리아 세포막에 부착된 후 세포막을 용해시킨다. 본 연구에서는 stomoxyn을 식물 엽록체와 대장균에서 발현시키기 위한 형질전환 벡터를 제작하였고, 이 벡터를 이용하여 대장균에서 stomoxyn의 발현을 확인하였다. 대장균에서 발현된 stomoxyn을 nickel column과 SUMOase를 처리하여 정제한 후 agar diffusion assay를 이용하여 항균 활성을 확인하였다. 또한 식물 엽록체에서 벡터의 삽입을 확인하기 위해 EGFP 유전자를 사용하여 확인하였다.

Alzheimer's disease, a representative neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles accompanied by neuronal damages. b-Amyloid peptide is considered to be responsible for the formation of senile plagues that accumulate in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. There has been compelling evidence supporting that b-amyloid-induced cytotoxicity is mediated through generation of reactive oxygen species. In this study, we have investigated the possible protective effect of Rehmannia glutihosaagainst b-amyloid-induced oxidative ceil death in cultured human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y cells treated with b-amyloid underwent apoptotic death as determined by morphological features and positive in situterminal end-labeling (TUNEL staining). Rehmannia glutinosawater extract, wine, and vinegar pretreatments attenuated b-amyloid-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Rehmannia glutinosa vinegar exhibited maximum protective effect by increasing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2. in addition to oxidative stress, b-amyloid-treatment caused nitrosative stress via marked increase in the levels of nitric oxide, which was effectively blocked by Rehmannia glutinosa. To further explore the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effect of Rehmannia glutinosa, we assessed the mRNA expression of cellular antioxidant enzymes. Treatment of Rehmannia glutinosa vinegar led to up-regulation of heme oxygemase-1 and catalase. These results suggest that Rehmannia glutinosa could modulate oxidative neuronal cell death caused by b-amyloid and may have preventive or therapeutic potential in the management of Alzheimer's disease. Particularly, Rehmannia glutinosa vinegar can augment cellular antioxidant capacity, there by exhibiting higher neuroprotective potential.

In order to reveal the aluminum (Al) stress tolerance mechanisms in alfalfa plant at low pH soil, a proteomic approach has been conducted. Alfalfa plants were exposed to Al stress for 5 days. The plant growth and total chlorophyll content are greatly affected by Al stress. The malondialdehyde (MDA) and $H_2O_2$ contents were increased in a low amount but free proline and soluble sugar contents, and the DPPH-radical scavenging activity were highly increased. These results indicate that antioxidant activity (DPPH activity) and osmoprotectants (proline and sugar) may involve in ROS ($H_2O_2$) homeostasis under Al stress. In proteomic analysis, over 500 protein spots were detected by 2-dimentional gel electrophoresis analysis. Total 17 Al stress-induced proteins were identified, of which 8 protein spots were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated. The differential expression patterns of protein spots were selected and analyzed by the peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) using MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Three protein spots corresponding to Rubisco were significantly down-regulated whereas peroxiredoxin and glutamine synthetase were up-regulated in response to Al stress. The different regulation patterns of identified proteins were involved in energy metabolism and antioxidant / ROS detoxification during Al stress in alfalfa. Taken together, these results provide new insight to understand the molecular mechanisms of alfalfa plant in terms of Al stress tolerance.

In an effort to augment extractability of carnosine and anserine at the levels of pro-oxidants such as iron and protein in Tuna boiled extracts(Skipjack, Yellowfin and Bigeye), we assessed the effects of heated and ion exchange chromatography(IEC) and ultrafiltration(UF) using a MW 500 cut-off(500 MWCO). We also evaluated the antioxidant activity of these extracts processed as free radical scavengers and reducing agents. Tuna boiled extracts of dark and ordinary muscle protein and total iron were reduced, whereas carnosine and anserine concentrations and antioxidant activity were increased. The carnosine and anserine concentrations of the ion exchange and permeate UF(IEC-UF) extracts were higher than those observed in the heated and permeate UF(heat-UF), whereas the protein and total iron contents were lower than that observed in the heat-UF. The quantity of carnosine and anserine in ordinary muscle was higher than that detected in dark muscle. HPLC analysis and SDS-PAGE were shown to removes the effect of UF on high molecular weight impurities in the tuna boiled extracts. The major free amino acids(FFAs) from Skipjack, Yellowfin and Bigeye tuna IEC-UF extracts were anserine, histidine and carnosine. These three peptides constituted more than 80～85%. of the detected amino acid. The IEC-UF treated ordinary muscle extracts evidenced the highest levels of DPPH radical scavenging activity and the highest levels of reducing power among the various extracts. The IEC-UF extracts evidenced a DPPH radical scavenging effect equal to that of 1mM ascorbic acid.

Purpose: Glehnia littoralis has been reported to have several pharmacological properties but no in vivo reports describing the protective effects of this plant on${\alpha}$-amanitin-induced hepatotoxicity have been published. ${\alpha}$-Amanitin is a peptide found in several mushroom species that accounts for the majority of severe mushroom poisonings leading to severe hepatonecrosis. In our previous in vitro study, we found that ${\alpha}$-amanitin induced oxidative stress, which may contribute to its severe hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Glehnia littoralis acetate extract (GLEA) has protective antioxidant effects on ${\alpha}$-amanitin-induced hepatotoxicity in a murine model. Methods: Swiss mice (n=40 in all groups) were divided into four groups (n=10/group). Three hours after giving ${\alpha}$-amanitin (0.6 mg/kg, i.p.) to the mice, they were administered silibinin (50 mg/kg/d, i.p.) or Glehnia littoralis ethyl acetate extract (100 mg/kg/d, oral) therapies once a day for 3 days. After 72 hours of treatment, each subject was killed, cardiac blood was aspirated for hepatic aminotransferase measurement, and liver specimens were harvested to evaluate the extent of hepatonecrosis. The degree of hepatonecrosis was assessed by a pathologist blinded to the treatment group and divided into 4 categories according to the grade of hepatonecrosis. Results: GLEA significantly improved the beneficial functional parameters in ${\alpha}$-amanitin-induced hepatotoxicity. In the histopathological evaluation, the toxicity that was generated with ${\alpha}$-amanitin was significantly reduced by GLEA, showing a possible hepatoprotective effect. Conclusion: In this murine model, Glehnia littoralis was effective in limiting hepatic injury after ${\alpha}$-amanitin poisoning. Increases of aminotransferases and degrees of hepatonecrosis were attenuated by this antidotal therapy.

The deer antler has been used as a major drug in oriental medicine for a long time. Recently, the demand for easy-to-take health functional foods is increasing due to economic development and changes in diet. As part of research on the development of functional materials for antlers, lactic acid fermentation of antler extract was performed. It was intended to develop a functional material with enhanced total polyphenol and flavonoid content and enhanced antioxidant activity. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation was performed by adding 4 types of lactic acid bacteria starter products, B. longum, Lb. Plantarum, Lb. acidophilus and mixture of 8 types of lactic acid bacteria to the antler water extract substrate, respectively. During the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria, the number of proliferation, total polyphenol and total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging and antioxidant activity were quantified and evaluated. As a result of adding these four types of lactic acid bacteria to the antler water extract substrate, the number of lactic acid bacteria measured was 2.04~5.00×107. Meanwhile, a protease (Baciullus amyloliquefaciens culture: Maxazyme NNP DS) was added to the antler extract to decompose the peptide bonds of the contained proteins. Then, these four types of lactic acid bacteria were added and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased to 2.84×107 ~ 2.21×108 as the result of culture. The total polyphenol contents were 4.82~6.26 ㎍/mL in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts, and after the reaction of protease enzyme and lactic fermentation, increased to 14.27~20.58 ㎍/mL. The total flavonoid contents were 1.52~2.21 ㎍/ml in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts, and after the protease reaction and fermentation, increased to 5.59 ~ 8.11 mg/mL. DPPH radical scavenging activities of lactic acid bacteria fermentation extracts was 17.03~22.75%, but after the protease reaction and fermentation, remarkably increased to 32.82~42.90%.
