혈전용해 활성과 면역세포 활성능이 우수한 청국장을 제조하기 위하여 청국장에서 분리된 220개의 세균으로부터 단백질 분해능과 점질물질 생성능이 우수한 13개의 Bacillus 균주를 선별하였다. 이들 13개 Bacillus 균주들의 fibrin plate 방법을 이용한 혈전용해 활성과 RAW 264.7 cell line을 이용한 cytokine 생성능력 (NO 생성능, Interlukin-1${\alpha},\;TNF-{\alpha}$) 검정에 의한 면역세포 활성능 측정실험을 수행하였는데, Bacillus 균주들을 TSB(Trypticase soy broth)에 키운 시료와 콩에 접종하여 제조한 청국장시료와 같은 두 가지 상이한 시료를 이용하여 혈전용해능과 면역세포 활성능을 측정한 결과, 혈전용해능과 면역세포 활성능이 가장 우수한 세 균주가 최종 선발되었다. 선발된 세균주의 동정결과 두 균주(CHKJ 1249, CHKJ 1326)는 Bacillus licheniformis로 그리고 CHKJ 1339 균주는 Bacillus subtilis로 동정되었다.

Phellinus linteus was examined on its immunostimulating activities using an in vitro imunization and plaque forming cell assay. When lymphocytes were exposed to the extract of Phellinus linteus, the number of antibody forming cell was increased. In in vitro plaque forming cell assay, the immunostimulating effect was about 4.8 and 5.0 times of unimmunized control in polyconal and T-independent antibody response, respectively. Especially, Phellinus linteus significantly increased the antigenicity of TNP-LPS used as T-independent antigen. But Phellinus linteus did now show a mitogenic effect on B-lymphcytes. These results suggest that immunostimulating activity of Phillinus lintues might be associated with a functional stimulation of B-lympohocyte involved in humoral immune response.

The antitumor and immunostimulating activities of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus fruits were investigated. Polysaccharide isolated from this plant, when administered consecutively for 9 days at 50 and 100 mg/kg i.p. in mice, caused a significant increase in the life span and a significant decrease in the tumor weight and volume in mice inoculated with Sarcoma-180 tumor cells. Polysaccharide was also demonstrated to exhibit phagocytosis-enhancing activity as measured by the carbon clearance in mice. Polysaccharide, when administered i.p. at 50 and 100 mg/kg/day for 3 consecutive days, exhibited a significant RCtr/RCc [the rate of regression coefficient of the animals teated (RCtr) to that of the control (RCc)], being 1.44 (PI = 1), 1.52 (PI = 2) which was approximately the same with that of enhancement of phagocytosis, its potency as expressed by the regression coefficient ratio of zymosan (RCtr/RCc = 1.55, PI = 2), a typical phagocytosis enhancer. Polysaccharide also caused a significant increase in the acid phosphatase activity representing lysosomal enzymes in macrophages at 1-100 ig/ml in vitro in compliance with in vivo results. These results suggest that the antitumor activity of polysaccharide might be related to the immunostimulating function.

본 연구는 고추장에서 분리한 미생물들을 이용하여 혈전용해능, 면역세포활성능 및 세포독성과 같은 건강기능활성을 조사하고, 건강기능활성 미생물을 고추장에 응용하고자 수행되었다. 전통식 및 개량식 고추장으로부터 분리된 294균주 중 단백질분해력이 우수한 91균주를 선별하였고, 선별된 91개 균주의 혈전용해능을 측정하여 최종적으로 혈전용해능 활성이 높은 3 균주(TPP 0014, TPP 6013, TPP 6015)를 선별하였다. 이들 최종 선별균주들의 면역세포활성화능력 측정 결과 TPP 6015 균주에 의한 거식세포에 의한 NO 생성량은 3.67 ${\mu}g/mL$이었고, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 생성량은 626.3 pg/mL 그리고 $IL-{\alpha}$ 생성량은 645.9 pg/mL로 측정되어 세 균 주 중 비교적 높은 면역세포활성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 대장암 세포주인 SNU-C4와 정상세포주인 CHO-K1에 대한 선별된 균주의 세포독성을 MTT assay에 의해 조사한 결과 SNU-C4 세포주에 65-78%, 그리고 CHO-K1 세포주에 60-70%의 세포독성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 고추장 시료는 혈전용해 활성을 나타내지 않았으나, 이들 선발 균주들을 고추장에 첨가하였을 때, 높은 혈전용해활성을 나타내는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이들 선별 균주들을 API kit를 이용하여 동정한 결과 TPP 0014와 TPP 6015 균주는 Bacillus stearothermophilus로 동정이 되었고, TPP 6013 균주는 B. amyloliquefacience로 동정이 되었다.

$Elfvingia$ $applanata$, a medicinal mushroom belonging to Basidiomycota, has been used in the effort to cure cancers of the esophagus and stomach, and is also known to have inhibitory effects on hepatitis B virus infection. The hot water soluble fraction (as Fr. HW) was extracted from fruiting bodies of the mushroom. $In$ $vitro$ cytotoxicity tests showed that hot water extract was not cytotoxic against cancer cell lines such as Sarcoma 180, HT-29, HepG2, and TR at concentrations of 10-2,000 ${\mu}g/mL$. Intraperitoneal injection with Fr. HW resulted in a life prolongation effect of 45.2% in mice previously inoculated with Sarcoma 180. Treatment of Fr. HW resulted in a 2.53-fold increase in the numbers of murine spleen cells at a concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/mL$, compared with control. Incubation of murine spleen cells with Fr. HW at a concentration of 500 ${\mu}g/mL$ resulted in improved immune-potwntiating activity of B lymphocytes through an 8.3-folds increase in alkaline phosphatase activity, compared with control. Fr. HW generated 12.5 ${\mu}M$ of nitric oxide (NO) when cultured with RAW 264.7, a mouse macrophage cell line, at the concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/mL$, while lipopolysaccharide, a positive control, produced 15.2 ${\mu}M$ of NO. Therefore, the results suggested that antitumor activities of Fr. HW from $E.$ $applanata$ might, in part, be due to host mediated immunostimulating activity.

본 연구에서는 느릅나무 뿌리껍질에서 분리한 신규 균주인 Enterobacter sp. SSYL(KCTC 0687BP)을 사용하여 세포밖 당화합물(exopolysaccharide, EPS)을 생산하여, EPS의 면역활성에 의한 항암효과를 실험적으로 제시하였다. EPS는 총당함량이 43.0% 내지 70.8%였으며, 총산성당 함량은 7.1% 내지 11.4%, 총단백질 함량은 19.3% 내지 20.6%로, 분자량은 100,000에서 1,000,000 Da의 당단백질임을 알 수 있었다. EPS의 당구성성분을 보면 glucuronic acid (46.7%), fucose(10.8%), fructose (0.2%), glucose(29.9%), galactose(11.0%)이었고, 이외 미지의 성분이 1.3% 정도였다. EPS의 면역활성 검정에 따르면 EPS는 면역세포의 증식을 자극하는 mitogen역할을 하며, 특히 T 세포에 의한 면역증강효과를 나타내었다. B16 흑색종 이식마우스를 이용한 생체내 면역활성에 의한 항암효과를 관찰한 결과 유의성 있는 항암효과를 나타내었으며, 천연물인 유근피 추출 단백다당체의 결과(3 mg/kg에서 약 140%의 생존연장효과를 보임)와 비교해 볼 때 1/10의 농도인 0.3mg/kg에서 약 138.1%의 비슷한 항암효과를 나타내었다.

When 10 kinds of herbal medicines were fractionated into hexane, MeOH, cold-water, and hot-water extracts, hot-water extracts from Acanthopanax senticosus (AS), Glycyrrhiza uralensis (GU), Cichorium intybus (CI), and Polygonatum odoratum (PO) showed the potent intestinal immune system modulating activity (1.72-, 1.62-, 1.60-, and 1.53-fold of control at $100{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). Especially, hot-water extracts from AS (215% compared with the control) and GU (187%) also had macrophages stimulating activity and mitogenic activity of splenocytes (7.1- and 6.5-fold) at $100{\mu}g/mL$. In addition, the effects of hot-water extracts from herbal medicines on anticancer activities were studied in mice. Hot-water extracts from AS and GU enhanced cytotoxicity of natural killer cell against cancer cell, Yac-1 (37 and 34% cytotoxicity) at E/T ratio 100:1, and colon 26-M3.1 cancer cell lines had significantly inhibited (82.1 and 75.2%) in experimental lung metastasis. These results suggest that hot-water extracts from A. senticosus and G. uralensis can be used as biological response modifiers to stimulate immune system and inhibit tumor.

Polysaccharide fraction isolated from Coriolus versicolor (Copolang) was studied on the antitumor activity and immunostimulation activities with reference to PS-K. Copolang showed nearly equal antitumor activities to the PS-K and exhibited marked augmentation effects on the antibody mediated hypersensitivity reaction, delayed type hypersensitivity reaction and NK-cell activity in tumor bearing mice. But it did not show any noticeable effect on the antibody secreting cell and macrophage function in normal mice. These results indicate that the antitumor activity and immunostimulating effect of Copolang are comparable to those of PS-K.

Acharan sulfate (AS) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) prepared from the giant African snail, Achatina fulica. In this study, some biological activities of AS were evaluated on the basis of structural similarities to heparin/heparan sulfate and the biological functions of GAGs. We demonstrated that it exhibited strong immunostimulating activities as measured by carbon clearance test in mice and in vivo phagocytosis. It also exhibited a significant hypoglycemic activity in epinephrine (EP)-induced hyperglycemia as well as antifatigue effects by weight-loaded forced swimming test. And it showed hypolipidemic activities in cholesterol-rich mixture induced hyperlipidemia in rats. The above results indicate that AS has diverse biological activities and suggest therapeutically important target molecules.
