해양성 심층수(KDSW)는 해양심층수(DSW)와 유사한 mineral 조성을 가지고 있어 식품 및 의약분야에서 그 유용성에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 KDSW 및 탈염한 Danasoo의 항산화력, 면역활성, 함암 및 당뇨에 대한 효과를 연구하였다. KDSW와 Danasoo의 항산화 활성은 DPPH radical scavenging 활성, SOD-like 활성 및 PCL 법에 의하여 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. KDSW와 Danasoo의 항산화 활성은 첨가된 농도에 의존적으로 증가하였으며, 특히 PCL법에 의한 KDSW와 Danasoo의 항산화능은 85.32과 14.02(nmol of ascorbic acid equivalent/ml)로 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. Macrophage RAW 264.7 cell에서 LPS에 의하여 유도된 NO 활성은 Danasoo (20%)를 첨가에 의하여 약 30%정도의 NO 합성이 저해되었으며, 이 농도에서 세포 독성이 없는 것으로 MTT assay에 의하여 확인하였다. NO는 nitric oxide synthase에 의하여 합성되며, tumor성장 및 angiogenesis에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 밝혀져 있으며, Danasoon (20%)는 위암세포와 폐암세포의 iNOS 발현을 현저히 감소시켰다. STZ에 의하여 유도된 당뇨 쥐의 혈당량은 Danasoo (20%) 식이에 의하여 대조구와 유사한 당뇨효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 KDSW가 우수한 biological 활성을 가지고 있으며, 또한 천연 기능성 제품생산을 위한 소재로 사용될 수 있는 높은 가능성올 시사하고 있다.

This experiment was conducted to obtain the have higher contents of pharmaceutical constituents as well as higher yield from colchicine induced diploid and tetraploid extracts of Platycodon grandiflorum. In order to determine the biological activity, this study was focused to evaluate the cytotoxicity, antimicrobial on the bronthus disease bacteria, antioxidant enzyme activity of diploid and tetraploid extracts in P. grandiflorum. The activities of antioxidant enzyme according to different solvent extracts were measured as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). The cytotoxicity of methanol extracts of P. grandiflorum showed significant differences between tetraploid and diploid. That is, the cytotoxic effect against human cancer cell was higher in tetraploid than in diploid. At all extracts concentration, tetraploid samples showed high toxicity and the $IC_{50}$ (concentration causing 50% cell death) value showed the highest on HCT-116 cell ($105.91{\mu}g/mL$), and exhibited significant activity against the Hep 3B cell ($140.67{\mu}g/mL$), SNU-1066 cell ($154.01{\mu}g/mL$), Hela cell ($158.37{\mu}g/mL$), SNU-601 cell ($182.67{\mu}g/mL$), Calu-6 cell ($190.42{\mu}g/mL$), MCF-7 cell ($510.19{\mu}g/mL$). Antimicrobial activities of diploid P. grandiflorum were relatively low compared to tetraploid P. grandiflorum on most of the bacterial strains. In tetraploid P. grandiflorum, K. pneumoniae showed the clear zone formation (18~19 mm) of growth inhibition, followed by the clear zone formation of 13~15 mm on C. diphtheria and S. pyogenes. The antimicrobial activities in diploid P. grandiflorum were the highest on K. pneumonia (14~15 mm), and showed the clear zone formation of 11~12 mm on C. diphtheria and 12~13 mm on S. pyogenes. The antimicrobial activity is thought to look different depending on the bacterial strains and the polyploidy of P. grandiflorum. The root extract of P. grandiflorum had the highest (97.2%) SOD enzyme activity in ethyl acetate partition layer of tetraploid while water partition layer of diploid showed the lowest (48.6%) SOD enzyme activity. The activity of CAT showed higher values in the root of tetraploid than in the diploid of P. grandiflorum in all partition layers except butyl alcohol. The activities of APX and POD showed higher values in the root of tetraploid than in the diploid of P. grandiflorum in all fraction solvents except water layer. These results indicate that the tetraploid P. grandiflorum can be used as a source for developing cytotoxic agent and antimicrobials which can act against bronchus diseases bacterial strains.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the anti-ulcer effect of an standardized herbal extracts mixture of Inulae Flos and Paeoniae Radix (HT074) on acidified ethanol induced gastric injury and its potential mechanisms. Methods : Antioxidant activities of HT074 and its constituents were measured by DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging capacity. After the oral administration of HT074 at doses of 100, 300 mg/kg twice per day for 14 days, Gastric lesions were induced by oral administration of acidified ethanol in Sprague Dawley rats. Oxidative stress markers, such as super oxide dismutase (SOD) activity, concentrations of catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) were measured in gastric mucosal tissues. Additionally, the expression of human mucin gene, Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) mRNA in gastric mucosal tissues was measured. Results : HT074 showed dose dependent radical scavenging activities against DPPH and ABTS radicals. Oral administration of HT074 300 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days significantly decreased gastric lesions and histological damages induced by HCl/EtOH in rats. HT074 treatment significantly increased the activity of SOD (300 mg/kg) and concentration of GSH (100 and 300 mg/kg), however catalase concentration was not significantly increased. MUC5AC mRNA expression was significantly increased by HT074 100, 300 mg/kg treatment. Conclusions : HT074 protects the gastric mucosa from oxidative stress caused by acidified ethanol by increasing the activity of SOD, concentration of GSH and mucin biosynthesis. These findings suggest that HT074 could be an effective candidate for prevention and treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcer.

Several theories emphasize that aging is closely related to oxidative stress and disease. The formation of excess ROS can lead to DNA damage and the acceleration of aging. Vigna angularis is one of the important medicinal plants in Korea. We isolated vitexin from V. angularis and elucidated the lifespan-extending effect of vitexin using the Caenorhabditis elegans model system. Vitexin showed potent lifespan extensive activity and it elevated the survival rates of nematodes against the stressful environments including heat and oxidative conditions. In addition, our results showed that vitexin was able to elevate antioxidant enzyme activities of worms and reduce intracellular ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. These studies demonstrated that the increased stress tolerance of vitexin-mediated nematode could be attributed to increased expressions of stress resistance proteins such as superoxide dismutase (SOD-3) and heat shock protein (HSP-16.2). In this work, we also studied whether vitexin-mediated longevity activity was associated with aging-related factors such as progeny, food intake, growth and movement. The data revealed that these factors were not affected by vitexin treatment except movement. Vitexin treatment improved the body movement of aged nematode, suggesting vitexin affects healthspan as well as lifespan of nematode. These results suggest that vitexin might be a probable candidate which could extend the human lifespan.

Objectives : To investigate the anti-cancer effect of Baekduong-tang(BDOT) against cancer cells, the signaling pathway of apoptosis was explored in human colon cancer cells. Materials and Methods : Human colon cancer cell lines, including HT-29 and HCT-116 cells, were used. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis was determined by DAPI nuclei staining and flow cytometry in HCT-116 cells treated with 0.25 mg/$m{\ell}$ Baekduong-tang for 48 hrs. Results : Baekduong-tang induced the apoptosis of p53 positive HCT-116 cells with G2/M phase arrest. Treatment with Baekduong-tang led to increased expression and phosphorylation of p53 and decreased expression of CDK2 and CDK6 in HCT-116 cells. It also activated caspase-3 through caspase-10 and caspase-9 activation. Finally, Baekduong-tang induced production $H_2O_2$, superoxide anion ($O_2^-$) and NO and modulated proteins expression including SOD, NOS, Bax and Bcl-2. Conclusions : These results indicate Baekduong-tang induces apoptotic death of HCT-116 cells through G2/M phase arrest and disturbance of intracellular redox status in a p53-dependent manner.

Objectives : This study was designed to elucidate the synergistic cytotoxic mechanisms of the co-treatment of Gagamjengac-tang (GGJAT) and As₂O₃ in human lung cancer cell line, H-157. Methods : The combination of GGJAT and As₂O₃ synergistically augmented the cytotoxicity of GGJAT and As₂O₃ in H­157 cells. The cytotoxicity by the combination of these two drugs was revealed as apoptosis which was characterized by chromatin condensation and fragmentation in DAPI staining. Results : Antioxidant NAC completely blocked the apoptotic death of H-157 cells by GGJAT and As₂O₃. The apoptotic cytotoxicity of GGJAT and As₂O₃ was accompanied by the induction of DR4 and DR5 in RT-PCR. In addition, antioxidant enzymes such as SOD1, GSH synthetase and GSH reductase were also increased in H-157 cells treated with GGJAT and As₂O₃. However, of note, p53, Fas, FasL and TRAIL were not detected in H-157 cells treated with GGJAT and As₂O₃ by RT-PCR. Conclusions : These results suggest that the synergistic cytotoxicity of the co-treatment of H-457 cells treated with GGJAT and As₂O₃ may cause induction of death receptors DR4 and DR5 as well as reactive oxygen species.

산수유 5 g에 100 mL의 증류수를 가하고 항온수조를 이용하여 $25^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$에서 추출한 다음 농축하여 각각 온도별 추출물을 얻었다. 각 온도별 추출물을 이용하여 산수유의 항산화 활성 조사 결과, 총 페놀함량은 가장 높은 온도($90^{\circ}C$)에서 추출한 추출물이 5.5 g/100 g GAE으로 가장 높았고, 그 다음으로 $50^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ 추출물 순으로 페놀 함량이 많았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능 측정에서는 각 시료의 농도가 증가할수록 DPPH 라디칼 소거능이 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 라디칼의 50%를 저해하는 농도인 $SC_{50}$은 추출 온도에 따른 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. SOD 유사활성에서도 역시 각 시료의 농도가 증가할수록 활성이 높았으며, $SC_{50}$은 다른 온도에 비해 $25^{\circ}C$에서 유의하게 낮았는데 이는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 SOD 유사활성이 가장 좋음을 나타낸다. 또한 ORAC assay를 이용한 peroxyl 라디칼 소거능은 저농도에서는 각 온도에 따라 유의적은 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 고농도에서는 $50^{\circ}C$에서 유의하게 높았다. 한편 산수유 추출물의 산화적 스트레스에 의한 DNA 손상 억제 효과를 보기 위해 1, 10, $50\;{\mu}g$/mL의 농도로 백혈구에 처리한 후 $200\;{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$로 DNA 손상을 유도한 결과, $50\;{\mu}g$/mL 농도에서 손상된 DNA tail 부분의 DNA 함량을 측정한 % tail DNA inhibition이 $25^{\circ}C$에서 28.5%, $50^{\circ}C$에서 37.5% 그리고 $90^{\circ}C$에서는 38.5%로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 산수유를 물로 추출할 경우 추출 온도가 높을수록 총 페놀함량은 증가한 것으로 나타났지만 항산화 활성과 항유전독성 효과는 추출 온도와는 상관 없이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 산수유가 일반적으로 고온에서 열수 추출하는 한약재로서 뿐만 아니라 비교적 낮은 온도에서 우려내는 식용 음료로서도 사용이 가능하다는 것을 제시한다.

The imbalance of oxidative stress due to the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the pathogenesis of liver disease. To prevent this, the role of antioxidant mechanisms is important. Antioxidant studies have been reported on the Filipendula glaberrima Nakai. However, studies applied to HepG2 cells, which are human liver cells, have not yet been conducted. In this study, 70% ethanol extract of Filipendula glaberrima Nakai (FGE) was prepared and antioxidant activity was investigated. It was confirmed whether FGE pretreatment could reduce hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. The increase in gene expression of antioxidant biomarkers and the scavenging ability of ROS were measured, and Hoechst 33342 staining was used to know the inhibitory effect of the apoptosis. As a result, FGE significantly increased SOD (2.6-fold), CAT (4.4-fold), MT-1A (3.1-fold), GPx (4-fold), and G6PD (2.4)-fold compared to the H₂O₂-treated group. FGE directly inhibited ROS production from 13.4 to 3.6 (the fluorescence mean of DCF-DA) and also reduced apoptotic cells from 45% to 10% (Hoechst 33342 staining) at 2.5 ㎍/mL. These results demonstrate the excellent antioxidant activity of FGE and show that it can be used as a functional food to prevent liver disease.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate antiaging and antioxidant effects on cultured human skin fibroblast with 80% ethanol extracts of plants including of stem of Dendropanax morbifera, Corni fructus and Lycii Fructus. Methods : An ethanol extract of three medicinal plants including stem of Dendropanax morbifera, Corni fructus and Lycii Fructus. Extracts were assessed to determine the mechanism of antioxidant and antiaging activities. Antioxidant activity of extract was evaluated by two different assays as 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and super oxide dismutase (SOD) like activities. These extracts were tested for cell viability on HS68 skin fibroblast by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. We investigated the effects of Ultraviolet-B irradiation on cytotoxicity, type 1 collagen, elastin level and oxidative damage in cultured human skin fibroblast (HS68). Recently, many studies have reported that elastin is also involved in inhibiting or repairing wrinkle formation, although collagen is a major factor in the skin wrinkle formation. Results : The extracts obtained dose-dependently increased the scavenging activity on DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD like activity. The extracts of complex herbal medicine showed low cytotoxicity as more than 100% cell viability in 100ppm/ml concentration. HS68 fibroblasts were survived 70% at 120 $mJ/cm^2$ UVB irradiation and treated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. The levels of aging factors and cytotoxicity were decreased by ethanol extract of complex herbal medicine. Conclusions : These results suggest that ethanol extracts of complex medicinal plants of including of stem of Dendropanax morbifera, Corni fructus and Lycii Fructus may have value as the potential antioxidant and antiaging medicinal plant.
