This experiments was performed to determine the effects of Gangzitongmaekeum(降脂通脈飮 : GTE) on antioxidation activity and hyperlipidemia induced by hypercholesterolemic diet in mice. The results obtained were as follows : 1. GTE showed a safety in cytotoxicity and toxicity of human fibroblast cells and liver. 2. GTE showed DPPH scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and inhibitory effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS). 3. GTE treated mice showed body and liver weight decrease, compared to the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. 4. GTE decreased total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels significantly, but HDL cholesterol levels not significantly. 5. GTE decreased triglyceride levels significantly. 6. Glucose levels in GTE treated mice significantly decreased compared to the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. 7. Albumin levels in GTE treated mice were similar with the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. 8. The lipophagy in liver compared with the control group tended to be decreased in GTE treated mice. In the change of aorta, the cell was regular and boundary of vessel wall was clear, compared to the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. 9. TBARS levels in GTE treated mice significantly decreased compared to the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. 10. The change of SOD and catalase activity significantly increased compared to the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. 11. ACAT mRNA level and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA levels in GTE treated mice significantly decreased compared to the hyperlipidemia-induced control group. Conclusion : These results suggest that Gangzitongmaekeum is effective in antioxidation activity and dietary hyperlipidemia-induced mice.

Skin is constantly exposed to air, solar radiation, ozone and other air pollutants formulating free radicals. The reactive oxygen species(ROS), formed under these conditions, are associated with skin cancers, cutaneous photoaging, and cutaneous inflammatory disorders. In this study, we sought to establish an animal model for UVB-induced skin alteration using BALB/c mice. The level of UVB irradiation used in this model was within physiological dose. BALB/c mice were exposed to a single dose of UVB ($200mJ/cm^2$ and were sacrificed at 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours following the irradiation. The effect of a single exposure to UVB irradiation on skin catalase(CAT), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione peroxidase(GPx) activities were examined. Significant decrease in the activity of all enzymes were observed at 6 hours after irradiation(p<.05). The activity of CAT decreased more sharply than those of SOD and GPx, and then remained depressed until 48 hours after UVB irradiation, whereas the activity of GPx recovered to basal level at 48 h after UVB irradiation. Our results indicate that BALB/c mouse could be an adequate animal model of UVB irradiation experiment. These results will also provide fundamental knowledge for the effective nursing strategies in reducing UV-induced skin disorders.

In this study, to develop a new anti-aging agent, we will examine the antioxidant activity and the inhibitory effects of the mosidae for the MMP-1 activities in UVB-irradiated HS68 human foreskin fibroblast cell lines and human keratinocytes (Ha- CaT cell line). And the consomme soup being prepared with mosidae according to different levels (3, 6, 9, 12%) and then quality characteristics will be determined by sensory evaluations and color values. It is also observed that the mosidae has the inhibition of UVB-induced MMP-1 activities. The consomme soup prepared with mosidae is found to reduce the level of $IC_{50}$ in SOD-like activities and hydroxy radical scavenging activities, respectively. And consomme soup prepared with mosidae (CS6) is the best by sensory evaluations. In conclusion, these results suggest that the consomme soup prepared with mosidae can be further developed as new anti-aging food.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-aging effects of marigold methanol extract (MGME) in human dermal fibroblasts. Total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents in MGME were 74.8 mg TAE (tannic acid equivalent)/g and 85.6 mg RE (rutin equivalent)/g, respectively. MGME ($500{\mu}g/mL$) increased 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical-scavenging, and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like antioxidant activities by 36.5, 54.7, and 14.8%, respectively, compared with the control. At $1,000{\mu}g/mL$, these activities increased by 63.7, 70.6, and 20.6%, respectively. MGME ($100{\mu}g/mL$) significantly increased the synthesis of type 1 procollagen by 83.7% compared with control treatment. It also significantly decreased Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity and MMP-1 mRNA expression by 36.5% and 69.5%, respectively; however, it significantly increased laminin-5 mRNA expression by 181.2%. These findings suggest that MGME could protect human skin against photo-aging by attenuating oxidative damage, suppressing MMP expression and/or activity as well as by stimulating collagen synthesis.

오미자 5 g에 100 mL의 세 가지 용매(아세톤, 에탄올, 메탄올)를 각각 가하여 추출하여 농축한 다음, DMSO 용매에 녹여 항산화활성과 항유전독성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 총페놀 함량에서 메탄올 추출물이 1183.3 mg/100 g으로 가장 높았다. 항산화활성을 50, 100, 250, 500, $1000\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 측정하였을 때 DPPH radical 소거능과 SOD 유사활성은 각각 농도에 의존하여 결과 값이 향상되었으며, DPPH radical 소거능에서 높은 $IC_{50}$값을 나타낸 것은 에탄올 추출물로 $1411.1\;{\mu}g/mL$을 나타내었고, SOD 유사활성에서 $IC_{50}$값은 오미자 메탄올 추출물과 에탄올 추출물이 $905.7\;{\mu}g/mL$, $970.3\;{\mu}g/mL$ 순으로 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 comet assay에서는 오미자 추출물을 1, 5, 10, $50\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 백혈구에 처리한 후 $H_2O_2\;200\;{\mu}M$의 농도로 처리하여 DNA 손상을 유도한 결과 손상된 $50\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 DNA tail 부분의 DNA 함량을 측정한 % tail DNA inhibition이 각각 AE(73.1%), ME(63.7%), EE(62.8%)로 $H_2O_2$ 처리 양성 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 증가하였다. 이는 오미자에 함유되어 있는 페놀 화합물 외에 lignan 화합물을 포함한 여러 가지 다른 생리활성 물질들의 항산화력으로 인해 DPPH radical 소거능과 SOD 유사활성, 항유전독성 활성이 상호 의존적이 지 않음을 나타내고 있다고 사료된다. 따라서 오미자의 항산화 활성과 항유전독성의 메카니즘적 상호관계를 규명하는 연구가 향후 수행되어져야 할 것이다. 이상의 결과에서 오미자의 용매에 따른 추출물들은 각각 항산화 활성과 항 유전독성이 있음을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 본 연구에서는 오미자의 천연 생리활성 물질로서의 활용 가능성을 규명할 수 있었다.

Optimal medium for growth and glycosidases production of Bacteroides JY-6, an human intestinal bacterium, was general anaerobic medium or tryptic soy broth containing sod ium thioglycolate and ascorbic acid. By cocultivation of Staphylococcus R-48, Bacteroides JY-6 could be cultured in LB broth unable to culture JY-6. Heated Staphylococcus R-48 was also the inducer of the production of Bacteroides JY-6 glycosidases. These glycosidases were induced well by natural flavonoid glycosides, such as poncirin, naringin and rutin, but were not by synthetic substrates, p-nitrophenyl ${\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and p-nitrophenyl ${\alpha}$-L-rhanmopyranoside.

건 여주로부터 얻은 70%에탄올 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하고, $H_2O_2$에 의해 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 신경세포 보호효과를 알아보기 위해 human neuroblastoma cell인 SK-N-MC세포를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 여주 추출물의 총 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 28.51 mg gallic acid/extract g과 3.95 mg catechin/extract g 이었고, 추출물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능 ($IC_{50}$)은 $506.95{\mu}g/ml$ 이었다. 여주추출물을 신경세포에 전 처리한 후 $H_2O_2$을 처리하여 산화적 스트레스를 유도했을 때, 여주추출물에 의해 세포생존율은 증가되었고 세포내 ROS는 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 세포내 항산화 방어시스템인 항산화효소 (SOD-1,2와 GPx-1)의 mRNA 발현이 여주추출물 처리에 의해 control 수준으로 회복되거나 control 보다 증가되는 결과를 보였으며, ROS 의존적 세포사멸과 연관 있는 것으로 알려진 MAPK pathway 중 p38과 JNK의 인산화를 여주추출물이 억제하였다. 또한 cleaved caspase-3와 cleaved PARP의 발현도 여주추출물의 처리에 의해 감소되었다. 본 연구 결과에서 70% 에탄올 여주추출물은 항산화효능이 우수하여 ROS를 직접적으로 제거할 뿐 아니라 세포내 ROS 축적을 억제시키는 효과를 보여주었다. 그리고 신경세포 내 항산화효소들의 발현 증가 기전과 p38, JNK의 인산화 억제 및 cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP의 발현 억제를 통한 세포사멸 억제 기전을 통해 산화적 스트레스로부터 신경세포를 보호하는 효과가 있음을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 여주추출물은 산화적 스트레스에 의한 알츠하이머병이나 파킨슨병 등과 같은 신경변성질환 (neurodegenerative disease)에 대한 예방 및 치료제의 소재로써 이용가치가 충분한 것으로 사료된다.

We investigated whether SIRT1 is associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation during CK2 downregulation-mediated senescence. SIRT1 overexpression suppressed ROS accumulation, reduced transcription of FoxO3a target genes, and nuclear export and acetylation of FoxO3a, which were induced by CK2 downregulation in HCT116 and MCF-7 cells. Conversely, overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant SIRT1 (H363Y) counteracted decreased ROS levels, increased transcriptional activity of FoxO3a, and increased nuclear import and decreased acetylation of FoxO3a, which were induced by CK2 upregulation. CK2 downregulation destabilized SIRT1 protein via an ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in human cells, whereas CK2 overexpression reduced ubiquitination of SIRT1. Finally, the SIRT1 activator resveratrol attenuated the accumulation of ROS and lipofuscin as well as lifespan shortening, and reduced expression of the DAF-16 target gene sod-3, which were induced by CK2 downregulation in nematodes. Altogether, this study demonstrates that inactivation of the SIRT1-FoxO3a axis, at least in part, is involved in ROS generation during CK2 downregulation-mediated cellular senescence and nematode aging.

Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. Particularly, diabetic nephropathy is a serious complication for diabetic patients, yet the precise mechanisms that underline the initial stage of diabetic renal inflammation remain unknown. However, oxidative stress induced by hyperglycemia in diabetes is implicated in diabetic renal disease. We hypothesized that dietary supplementation of antioxidants either VCE (0.5% VC + 0.5% VE) or Comb (0.5% VC + 0.5% VE + 2.5% N-acetylcysteine) improves acute diabetic renal inflammation through modulation of blood glucose levels and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses. Experimental animals (5.5 weeks old female ICR) used were treated with alloxan (180 mg/kg) once. When fasting blood glucose levels were higher than 250 mg/dL, mice were divided into 3 groups fed different levels of antioxidant supplementation, DM (diabetic mice fed AIN 93G purified rodent diet); VCE (diabetic mice fed 0.5% vitamin C and 0.5% vitamin E supplemented diet); Comb (diabetic mice fed 0.5% vitamin C, 0.5% vitamin E and 2.5% N-acetylcysteine supplemented diet), for 10 days and then sacrificed. Body weights were measured once a week and blood glucose levels were monitored twice a week. Lipid peroxidation products, thiobarbituric acid reacting substances were measured in kidney. NF-${\kappa}B$ activation was indirectly demonstrated by pI${\kappa}B$-${\alpna}$ and expressions of selective inflammatory and oxidative stress markers including antioxidant enzymes were also determined. Dietary antioxidant supplementation improved levels of blood glucose as well as kidney lipid peroxi-dation. Dietary antioxidant supplementation improved NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and protein expression of HO-1, but not mRNA expression levels in diabetic mice fed Comb diet. In contrast, the mRNA and protein expression of CuZnSOD was decreased in diabetic mice fed Comb diet. However, antioxidant supplementation did not improve mRNA and protein expressions of IL-$1{\beta}$ and MnSOD in diabetic mice. These findings demonstrate that acute diabetic renal inflammation was associated with altered inflammatory and antioxidant responses and suggest that antioxidant cocktail supplementation may have beneficial effects on early stage of diabetic nephropathy through modulation of blood glucose levels and antioxidant enzyme expressions.
