식품 중 HCAs을 검출하기 위한 최적 전처리 방법을 확립하기 위해 가열 조리된 돼지고기 패티를 이용하여 서로 다른 4가지 SPE(solid-phase extraction)방법을 비교하였다. 4가지 전처리 방법을 통해 얻은 15가지 HCAs 회수율은 3.0%(방법 A, Tri-P-1)-74.7%(방법A, Tri-P-2)이었다. 그 중 $MeA{\alpha}C$가 평균적으로 73.4%로 가장 높은 회수율을 보였으며 Tri-MeIQx가 15.2%의 가장 낮은 회수율을 보였다. 4가지 전처리 방법 중 방법A와 방법D가 가장 높은 회수율과 검출빈도를 보였으며 방법B와 방법C는 Harman(14.8%)을 제외하고는 전혀 검출되지 않았고 회수율을 구할 수 없었다 발암 가능 물질인 IQ, $A{\alpha}C$, $MeA{\alpha}C$, Glu-P-1, Glu-P-2, MeIQ, MeIQx, PhIP 등을 검출하는 방법에는 방법A(48.7-74.6%)가 4가지 방법 중 가장 유리하다. HCAs는 극성에 따라 polar amines과 less-polar amines으로 구분할 수 있는데 방법A는 less-polar amines검출에 유리하고 방법D는 polar amines검출에 유리하다. 방법A와 방법D의 chromatogram을 비교한 결과 방법A와 방법D 모두 15가지 HCAs가 깨끗하게 분리되었지만 Tri-MeIQx 등을 검출하는데 방법A가 더욱 유리하다. SPE 전처리 방법 및 LC/MS 분석방법에 대한 유효성을 확인하기 위해 LOD(0.2-2.1 ng/mL)와 LOQ(0.8-9.7 ng/mL), 표준 편차(0.2-8.6)를 구하였다.

천연생리활성물질의 개발과 미이용자원의 효율적 재이용방안을 모색하기 위하여 13여종의 한국산 야생 버섯류를 에탄올과 물로 추출하여 각 시료추출물의 항변이원성 물질 검색을 시도하였다. B(a)P과 MNNG의 돌연변이 유발성에 미치는 야생버섯류의 에탄올 추출물과 물추출물의 항돌연변이 효과의 검토는 Salmonella typhimurium TA98과 TA100을 이용한 Ames 실험계를 이용하였으며 B(a)P에 대해 꽃구멍장이버섯(Polyporus dispansus), 깔때기꾀꼬리버섯(Cantharellus infundibuliformis), 진갈색주름버섯(Agaricus subrutilescens), 테미로버섯(Daedalea dickinsii), 목장말똥버섯 (Panaeolus papilionaceus) 및 턱수염버섯(Hydnum repandum) 등의 에탄올추출물에서 비교적 강한 항변이 원성을 나타내었다. 물추출물의 경우는 B(a)P에 대해서 턱수염버섯(Hydnum repandum)이 TA100에서 가장 강한 저해효과를 나타내었고 대부분의 시료는 낮거나 저해활성이 보이지 않았다. 직접변이원인 MNNG에 대해서는 야생버섯류의 에탄올추출물중 5종만 항변이원성이 관찰되었고, 물추출물의 경우는 꽃구멍장이버섯(Polyporus dispansus)이 가장 강한 저해효과를 보였으나 대부분의 버섯류는 낮거나 저해 효과를 거의 나타내지 않았다. 그중 직, 간접 변이원에 대해 가장 강한 저해 효과를 나타낸 꽃구멍장이 버섯의 에탄올추출물은 농도가 높을수록 항변이원성 효과가 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

Although alternative test methods based on the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) are being developed to replace animal testing in reproductive and developmental toxicology, they are still in an early stage. Consequently, we aimed to develop alternative test methods in male animals using mouse spermatogonial stem cells (mSSCs). Here, we modified the OECD TG 489 and optimized the in vitro comet assay in our previous study. This study aimed to verify the validity of in vitro tests involving mSSCs by comparing their results with those of in vivo tests using C57BL/6 mice by gavage. We selected hydroxyurea (HU), which is known to chemically induce male reproductive toxicity. The 50% inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) value of HU was 0.9 mM, as determined by the MTT assay. In the in vitro comet assay, % tail DNA and Olive tail moment (OTM) after HU administration increased significantly, compared to the control. Annexin V, PI staining and TUNEL assays showed that HU caused apoptosis in mSSCs. In order to compare in vitro tests with in vivo tests, the same substances were administered to male C57BL/6 mice. Reproductive toxicity was observed at 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day as measured by clinical measures of reduction in sperm motility and testicular weight. The comet assay, DCFH-DA assay, H&E staining, and TUNEL assay were also performed. The results of the test with C57BL/6 mice were similar to those with mSSCs for HU treatment. Finally, linear regression analysis showed a strong positive correlation between results of in vitro tests and those of in vivo. In conclusion, the present study is the first to demonstrate the effect of HU-induced DNA damage, ROS formation, and apoptosis in mSSCs. Further, the results of the current study suggest that mSSCs could be a useful model to predict male reproductive toxicity.

The present study was conducted to investigate the single and 2-week repeated dose toxicity of red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP) in Sprague-Dawley rats. The test article was administered orally to rats at dose levels of 0, and 2000 mg/kg/day for single dose toxicity study and at dose levels of 0, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg/day for repeated dose toxicity study. In both studies, there were no treatment-related effects on mortality, clinical signs, food and water consumption, ophthalmoscopy, urinalysis, hematology, serum biochemistry, necropsy findings and organ weights of all animals treated RGAP. Based on these results, it was concluded that the 2-week repeated oral dose of RGAP may have no toxic effect in rats at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day. In the condition of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for both sexes.

LBD-001, a recombinant human interferon $\gamma$ produced by genetically engineered yeast as a host system, was intravenously administered to pregnant female rabbits (New Zealand White strain) from day 6 to 18 of gestation at dose levels of $0.35 \times 10^6$, $0. 69 \times 10^6$, and $1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day. Hydrocortisone sodium succinate (0.3 mg/kg/day) was also given in the same way. Teratological effects of the test agents on the organogenesis of fetuses and the development of offsprings (F1 rabbits) were investigated. The results were as followings: (1) No significant changes by the treatment of LBD-001 or hydrocortisone sodium succinate were observed in the body weights, the food and water consumption, the lactating or nurshing behaviors, and the autopsy of the pregnant rabbits. (2) No significant changes in the resorption rate, the fetal organogenesis, and the normal develpoment of offsprings (F1) by the treatment of LBD-001 or hydrocortisone sodium succinate were detected. The results show that LBD-001 at the dose of $1.38 \times 10^6$ I.U./kg/day or less and hydrocortisone sodium succinate at the dose of 0.3 mg/kg/day are neither teratogenic in the organogensis of the fetuses and the development of the offsprings (F1) nor toxic to the mother rabbits.

Peroxisome is a single membrane-bounded organelle found in hepatic parenchymal cells and kidney tubular epithelial cells. A number of enzymes exist in peroxisome contributing to anabolic and catabolic peroxisomal functions. Extramitochontriai $\beta$-oxidation of fatty acid is a major function of peroxisome. Peroxisomes can be proliferated by many structually unrelated compounds such as hypolipidemic drugs, plasticizers, pesticides, some pharmaceutical agents and high fat diet. These chemicals, called peroxisome proliferators, act via the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor, to induce peroxisome proliferation, hepatomegaly and hepatocellular carcinoma in rodent. The clear mechanisms of peroxisome proliferator-induced hepatocarcinogenesis have been not demonstrated. Since they are not genotoxic, biochemical changes or changes in gene expressions may be involved. A free radical theory has been suggested based on the finding of oxidative damages of macromolecules by hydrogen peroxide released in the peroxisomal $\beta$-oxidation of fatty acid. Increased cell proliferation by a peroxisome proliferator has been also thought to be an important factor in the hepatocarcinogenesis as suggested in other cases of nongenotoxic carcinogenesis. The alternation of eicosanoid concentrations by peroxisome proliferators may be important in the peroxisome proliferator-induced hepatocarcinogenesis since peroxisome proliferators decrease the concentration of eicosanoids, and the peroxisome proliferator ciprofibrate-eicosanoid combination is comitogenic and costimulates some mitogenic signals in hepatocytes. All of proposed mechanisms should be considered in the peroxisome prolifrator-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.

The screening of various molecular descriptors for predicting carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic activities of chlorinated aliphatic compounds as drinking water disinfection byproducts (DBPs) has been investigated for the application of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). The present work embodies the study of relationship between molecular descriptors and toxicity parameters of the genotoxicity endpoints for the screening of relevant molecular descriptors. The toxicity Indices for 29 compounds constituting the testing set were computed by the PASS program and active values were chosen. We investigate feasibility of screening descriptors and of their applications among different genotoxic endpoints. The correlation to teratogenicity of all 29 compounds was significantly improved when the same analysis was done with 20 alkanes only without alkene compounds. The HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy and number of Cl parameters were dominantly contributed.

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is the most commonly used phthalate ester in polyvinyl chloride formulations including food packing and storage of human blood. DEHP is a well known as non-genotoxic carcinogen and endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC). DEHP have shown all negative results in ICH-guildeline recommended standard genotoxicity test battery. In this study, to assess the clastogenic and DNA damaging effect in human-derived tissue specific cells, DEHP was treated in human derived MCE-7 cells, HepG2 cells, LNCap cells, BeWo cells, MCE-10A cells, and female peripheral blood cells using micronucleus assay and in human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells up to $1.28$\times$10^{-2}$ M using Comet assay. The in vitro micronucleus assay is a mutagenicity test system for the detection of chemicals which induce the formation of small membrane bound DNA fragment i.e. micronuclei in the cytoplasm of interphase cells, originated from clastogenic and/or aneugenic mechanism. The single cell gel electrophoresis assay (Comet assay) is used to detect DNA strand-breaks and alkaline labile site. In our results, DEHP increased significantly and/or dose-depentently and time-dependently micronucleus frequency at the 6 and 24 hr without metabolic activation system only in MCE-7 cells. DEHP treated with 2 hrs in MCF-7 cells using Comet assay induced DNA damage dose-depentantly.
