The extracts from Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze, their chloroform and hexane fractions, and estragole identified from hexane fraction were tested to investigate the effects on the growth and metabolic activities of several true fungi. The fungi used were: Aspergillus oryzae KFCC 890, Aspergillus niger KCCM 11240, Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4597, Saccharomyces ellipsoideus PNU 2215. The growth of S. Cerevisiae by treatment of water extract(1%), hexane fraction (0.05%), and estragole (0.05%) were inhibited 93%, 50%, and 33% respectively, and S. ellipsoideus was also inhibited markedly with delaying the alg phase maximum 12 hrs. The growth of A. oryzae was inhibited by treatment of extracts and fractions. The echanol production by S. cerevisiae was increased more than two times in the highest value around 42 hrs incubation by water extract, but chloroform fraction inhibited its production. The glucoamylase actibities by A. niger were strongly inhibited by hexane and chloroform fractions (0.05%). The invertase activity by S. cerevisiae using estragole (0.05%) reached to 57.5% of control group. S. cerevisiae treated with the estragole was damaged the cell wall and cell membrane, leaked the protoplasm, and observed broken pieces of cell.

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of Panax ginseng saponin extracts on the dexamethasone-induced apoptosis of mouse thymus in vivo and mouse thymocytes in vitro. The saponin fractions of red ginseng (R-SAP) and white ginseng (Wl-SAP) were provided by the Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute, and the other saponin fraction of white ginseng (W2-SAP) was extracted in our laboratory. 1. The male ICR mice (3~4 wk old; weighing 15$\pm$2 g) were given by each saponin fraction of 5 mg/kg/ day for 4 days, and at one hour after the last treatment, they were injected by deuamethasone (5 mg/kg : DX). The mouse thymus was extracted at 6 hours after DX injection, and they were stained with hematoxylin-eosin reagents and an Apop-Tag kit, respectively, and the thymocytes prepared from it were labelled with anti-mouse FITC-anti-CD4 and anti-mouse PE-anti-CD8 and then analyzed by fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS). DX-induced reduction of thymus weight was significantly attenuated by W2- SAP but was not affected by other saponin fractions. And DX-induced apoptotic death of thymocytes, appeared in the histologic findings of the thymus, was inhibited by the saponin fractions and the order of these inhibitory potencies was R-SAP》W2-SAP>Wl-SAP. However, in respect of T cell receptors, the differentiation of thymocytes seems not to be changed by treatments with DX or/and the saponin fractions. 2. In the primary thymocyte culture, the DX-induced reduction of thymocyte MTT values was rather greater in RPMI 1640 medium of IWc fetal bovine serum (FBS) or horse serum (HS). In addition, the DX-Induced MTT reduction was significantly inhibited by R-SAP or W2-SAP, in the culture using that medium of 5% FBS or HS. But these saponin fraction did not effected the DX-induced reduction of thymocyte MTT value in primary culture of 10% FBS or 10% HS. These results suggest that R-SAP and some W-SAP fractions may protect thymocyte from stress or glucocorticoisteroid-induced death of them.

본 연구에서는 다양한 약효가 있다고 알려진 애기땅빈대(Euphorbia supina)의 추출물 및 분획물의 지방산 조성을 분석하고 인체 암세포 증식 억제효과에 대하여 살펴보았다. A+M과 MeOH 추출물의 지방산 조성 패턴은 유사했고 A+M과 MeOH 추출물은 각각 53.4% 및 42.1%의 18:3n-3를 함유하였다. 분획물들 중 85% aq. MeOH는 가장 높은 함량의 18:3n-3를 나타내었다. 애기땅빈대에 의한 암세포 증식 억제효과는 MeOH 추출물과 비교했을 때 A+M 추출물에 의한 억제효과가 높았으며 AGS 인체 위암세포에 대한 억제효과가 높았다. 분획물들 중에서는 n-Hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물들에 의한 증식 억제효과가 높았다. 따라서 애기땅빈대의 항암 활성 성분은 n-Hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물들에 함유되어 있는 것으로 여겨지며 향후 정제하여 규명할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

In this study, the inhibitory effect of Atriplex gmelinii C. A. Mey. against the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 secreted from phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated HT-1080 cells was evaluated by gelatin zymography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction (RT-PCR), and Western blot assay. Specimens of the halophyte A. gmelinii were extracted twice for 24 hr with methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), and then twice with methanol (MeOH), in turn. Each extract significantly inhibited the enzymatic activities in gelatin zymography and MMP ELISA kit, and expression of MMP-2 and 9 in mRNA and protein levels. Two crude extracts were combined and then the combined crude extracts were fractionated into n-hexane, 85% aqueous methanol (85% aq.MeOH), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water ($H_2O$) fractions, according to solvent polarity. Among solvent-partitioned fractions, the 85% aq.MeOH fraction showed the strongest inhibitory effect against MMP-2 and -9 in gelatin zymography and MMP ELISA kit. In RT-PCR, all solvent-partitioned fractions significantly suppressed mRNA expression of MMP-2 and -9. On the other hand, in Western blot assay, all solvent-partitioned fractions except $H_2O$ significantly reduced expression levels of protein. HT 1080 cell migration was most significantly inhibited by the n-BuOH fraction followed by the 85% aq.MeOH and $H_2O$ fractions. These results suggest that A. gmelinii could be used as a potential source to inhibit tumor cell metastasis.

S. epidermidis cell was fractionated into cell wall, cell membrane and cytoplasm. The cell membrane adsorbed the most abundant $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ per unit dry weight of the three fractions tested. Adsorption behavior of $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ in lipid and protein, which are the main components of the cell membrane, indicated that phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol having phosphoryl group and gangliosides containing carboxyl groups adsorbed much more $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ than triglycerides lacking any chargeable functional groups. Protein purified from cell membrane adsorbed larger amount of $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ than total native cell membrane or cell membrane lipid.

Stachys affinis tubers are known for its high content of stachyose and eaten as an edible vegetable. In this work, we assessed on the anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferation activity of a various type of extracts derived from S. affinis tubers. The n-hexane and dichloromethane fractions were showed the high cytotoxicity on the cell lines including RAW264.7 macrophages, HEK293 human kidney cell, A549 human lung cancer cell, KB human oral cancer cell, and a PC-3 human prostate cancer cell. N-butanol and water fractions were not exhibited cytotoxicity on the tested cancer cells, limited in anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. Nevertheless, the ethyl acetate fraction showed little harm to RAW264.7 cells but inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) significantly. In addition, it arrests the cell growth in A549, KB, and PC-3 cell while little cytotoxicity on HEK293 cells. Consequently, these results supported that the ethyl acetate fraction of S. affinis tubers could be a potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer ingredient.

In this study, we investigated the anticancer activity of the fin of Thunnus Thynnus (TT). TT was extracted with methanol (TTM), and then further fractionated into four subfractions by using solvent partition method, affording hexane (TTMH), methanol (TTMM), butanol (TTMB) and aquous (TTMA) soluble fractions. We determined the cytotoxicity of these four fractions in four kind of cancer cell lines, such as HepG2, MCF-7, B16-F10 and HT29 by MTT assay. The TTMM showed the strongest cytotoxic effect at the concentration of 150 ${\mu}g/mL$, displaying 95% on the HepG2 cell lines and 82% on MCF-7 cell line. The morphological changes such as membrane shirinking and blebbing of cells were also observed by TTMM treatment in HT29 cell. In addition, we observed that quinone reductase (QR) activity was elevated by only TTMM and TTMH treatments in HepG2 cell. QR activity was increased to around 2.0 and 1.8 times in TTMM and TTMH treated HepG2 cell at 100 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively, compared to that in control. Although further studies are needed, the present work could suggest that the fin of TT has a potential to be usable as a chemopreventive agent against cancer.

Cellular components of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis (heat-killed whole cells, cytoplasm, and cell walls) were tested for their in vivo immunopotentiating activity. Peritoneal macrophages from mice orally administered with heat-killed whole cells exhibited significantly greater phagocytic activity than the groups administered with cell-wall fraction or cytoplasm fraction. The cytotoxicity of natural-killer cells was the highest in the group administered with whole cells, and the production of cytokines ($IFN-\gamma$, IL-2, and IL-12) in spleen cells was significantly higher, when cellular components were injected, and it tended to be higher in the cell-wall and cytoplasm groups than in the whole-cell group. Interestingly, the cytokine production of Peyer's patch cells was high, when cytoplasm fractions were administered. These results demonstrate that whole cells and cytoplasm and cell-wall fractions of L. lactis ssp. lactis have immunopotentiating activities, which are related to the stimulation of Peyer's patches.
