참당귀로부터 열수추출 및 에탄올 침전법을 이용해 조다당을 분리하고 DEAE-Sepharose FF와 Sephadex G-100을 이용하여 얻은 정제 다당 AGE-2c-I을 대상으로 선천 면역 활성 및 항종양 전이 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 인체의 초기 면역 반응에 있어 중추적인 역할을 수행하는 보체계 활성화 및 활성화 경로를 확인한 결과, AGE-2c-I은 운지버섯 유래 시판 면역증강제인 PSK에 준하는 우수한 활성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었으며. 본 활성은 주로 고전경로를 통하여 활성화되며 일부 부경로를 경유하는 것으로 최종 확인되었다. 또한 AGE-2c-I은 mouse 복강 유래 대식세포에 대해 직접적인 독성을 나타내지 않으며 종양세포주 YAC-1 및 B16BL6에 대한 직접적인 독성 또한 나타나지 않음을 확인함으로써 시료의 직접적인 독성에 근거한 항암 효과는 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면에 비장으로부터 분리한 림프구는 8 ㎍/mL의 AGE-2c-I 처리에 의해 증식능이 관찰되었다. AGE-2c-I이 대식세포의 cytokine 분비능에 미치는 효과를 확인한 결과, 우수한 IL-6, IL-12 및 TNF-α 분비능을 보였으며 시료를 200 ㎍ 및 1,000 ㎍의 고농도로 처리한 실험군에서 IL-10이 분비된 것으로 보아 AGE-2c-I은 immune-stimulator의 역할뿐만 아니라 immune-suppressor로서의 작용 또한 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 한편 종양 및 암세포에 대하여 직접적인 살해 활성을 나타내는 NK cell 활성을 확인한 실험에서는 농도 의존적인 종양 세포 살해능을 확인할 수 있었으며 100 ㎍/mouse 농도에서 NC 대비 약 1.5배 높은 NK cell 활성을 나타냈을 뿐만 아니라, 폐에 대한 고전이성 종양세포주인 B16BL6 melanoma 세포를 이용한 실험동물 종양 전이 모델에선 100 ㎍/mouse 농도로 처리한 실험군이 NC 대비 58%의 colony가 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 부터 참당귀 유래 RG-I 구조의 다당은 높은 선천면역계 자극 활성, 특히 보체계, 대식세포, 림프구 증식, NK cell의 활성화를 통해 우수한 항종양 전이 효과를 갖는 것으로 최종 확인되었으며 건강기능성식품 소재로의 개발가치가 우수한 것으로 판단되었다.

Objectives : The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of Astragali Radix Herbal-Acupuncture Solution(AR-HAS) at $ST_{36}$(jok-samni, $Z\acute{u}s\bar{a}n$ Li) on collagen- II -induced arthritis(CIA) in mice. Methods : DBA/1J mice were immunized with bovine type II collagen(CII) on days 0 and 21 to induce arthritis. The mice were divided into 5 groups : normal group(no CIA), control group(CIA+no treatment), needle prick group(CIA+single prick with an injection needle), saline group(CIA+saline injection) and ARHA group(CIA+ R-HA treatment). The needle prick, saline injection, and AR-HA groups were injected on the right $ST_{36}$(jok-samni) of mice for 9 weeks, 3 times a week, beginning 4 weeks after the booster immunization. Results : 1. The incidence of arthritis, AI(arthritis index), and joint edema decreased in the AR-HA group. 2. Weight gain, hypertrophy of the spleen, adhesion of the tissues, and transformation of the joint were restrained in the AR-HA group. 3. The concentrations of $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IFN-{\gamma}$ in CIA mouse serum and $IFN-{\gamma}$, IL-10 in the CIA mouse spleen cell culture decreased significantly at $ST_{36}$ in the AR-HA group. 4. Total cell counts increased significantly, and the ratio of $CD3e^+$ to $CD45R^+$, $CD4^+$ to $CD8^+$, and $CD4^+$ to $CD25^+$ cells decreased significantly at $ST_{36}$ in the CIA mouse spleen cell culture of the AR-HA group. 5. Total cell counts decreased significantly, and $CD4^+/CD25^+$ and $CD45R^+/CD69^+$ decreased significantly at $ST_{36}$ in the CIA mouse lymph nodes of the AR-HA group. 6. $CD3e^+/CD69^+$ and $CD11b^+/Gr-1^+$ cells decreased significantly at $ST_{36}$ in the CIA mouse joints of the AR-HA group. 7. The histological examination showed that cartilage destruction and synoviocyte proliferation decreased in the CIA mouse joints of the AR-HA group, and collagen fiber was expressed similar to that seen in the normal group. Conclusions : Our experiments show that at $ST_{36}$, an anti-inflammatory mechanism of AR-HA controls synovial cell proliferation and protects against cartilage destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.

The effect of Korean red-ginseng extract on the proliferation and cellular activity of mouse B and T lymphocytes was examined in vitro. Both water and ethanol extract from red-ginseng increased the growth of normal B and T lymphocytes 1.5∼2.5-folds. Saponin and polysaccharide fractions from ginseng extract also stimulated the proliferation of normal lymphocytes much higher than several well-known immunostimulators. B and T lymphoma cell lines responded to the ginseng extract and fractions by growth, too, while non-lymphoid cell lines did not. Immunoglobulin production of unprimed B-lymphocytes was little affected by the ginseng extract and fractions, though the ethanol extract slightly enhanced Ini, production of B-lymphocytes. When cytolytic activity of T lymphocytes against tumor tells was induced in vitro, both of the saponin and polysaccharide fractions and the ginseng ethanol extract increased the cellular activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes 4-5-folds, while the ginseng water extract did not. Especially, the saponin fraction exhibited 10-times higher stimulatory effect on the cytolytlc activity of cytotoxic T cells than the ethanol extract and the pclysaccharide fraction did. These results suggest that Korean red-ginseng contain potent immunomodulating components to stimulate the proliferation of B and T lymphocytes and the cellular activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

This study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Prunellae Herba(PH). The generation of superoxide anion radical (․O₂-), nitric oxide (NO), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and Prostaglandin E₂(PGE₂) were measured in the H₂O₂-Treated renal epithelial cells(LLC-PK1 cell) of mouse. And the effects of Prunellae Spica on the expression of NF-κB (p50, p65), IKK-α, phospho-IκB-α and inflammation-related proteins, COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β and VCAM-1, were examined by western blot. The fluorescent probes, 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA), 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2) and dihyldrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) were used to estimate the scavenging effect of Prunellae Spica on ․O₂-, NO, ONOO-. Western blot was conducted to assess the protein expression levels of NF-κB (p50, p65), IKK-α, phospho-IκB-α, inflammation-related proteins, COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β, VCAM-1. PH inhibited H₂O₂-treated cell death dose-dependently. It reduced the generation of ·O₂-, NO, ONOO- and PGE₂ in the H₂O₂-treated renal epitheial cells(LLC-PK₁ cell) of mouse in vitro. PH reduced the expression of NF-κB, IKK-α, phospho-IκB-α, COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β and VCAM-1 genes through means of decreasing activation of NF-κB signaling as well. According to these results, PH has an antioxidative activity and anti-inflammatory effect by regulating the NF-κB pathway. This suggest that PH is expected to be used to regulating inflammatory process and treating inflammation-related disease.

본 연구에서는 몇 가지 생물공학 기반 기술로서 이미 한방 화장품의 소재로 사용되고 있는 쇠비름 에탄올 추출액의 tyrosinase 저해, collagen 합성, 항염증 기대 효과, 항노화 대한 효능을 알아보기 위하여 B16F10 mouse melanoma cell, NIH3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast, MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell에 쇠비름 추출액을 처리하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과, 쇠비름 에탄을 추출액 (0.5mg/mL)은 tyrosinase 발현을 억제하여 멜라닌 합성을 억제하며, 농도 의존적으로 NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast 세포의 collagen 합성을 촉진시켰다. 또한 2.0 mg/mL 농도의 쇠비름 추출액은 목단피보다 더욱 효과적으로 cytokine (TNF-$\alpha$)에 의한 NF-${\kappa}B$ 활성을 억제시켰다. Doxorubicin에 의한 과노화에서도 효과적인 항노화 작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다. Tyrosinase 합성을 억제하므로 미백에 대한 효과와 세포의 생장을 도와 collagen 합성을 촉진함으로서 노화방지에 효과적인 것으로 사료되며, TNF-$\alpha$에 의한 NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성화를 저해함으로서 염증반응 억제 효과도 기대 할 수 있다.

The physicochmical properties of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (r-HBsAg), which was expressed in C127 mammalian cell were studied. Using roller bottle culture in DMEM supplemented with fetal bovine serum, 10-15 mg/L of r-HBsAg was produced with about 31% of purification yield. The purity of r-HBsAg by HPLC was 99.8% and electron microscopic examination showed homogeneous spherical particle with 22 nm in diameter, a morphological characteristic of HBsAg. The density of r-HBsAg by CsCI density gradient method was 1.19g/ml and the isoelectric point by Mono $P^{TM}$ HR 5/20 column was 4.6. The analysis of subunit protein pattern using SDS-PAGE followed by scanning densitometry gave 81.3% of S protein and 18.7% of pre-S protein. fluorophore-assisted-carbohydrate-electrophoresis analysis showed the relative amount of carbohydrate to protein was 1.7% and it smajr component was N-acetyl glucosamine, which was about 39% of total carbohydrate. The relative amount of lipid to protein determined by vanillin phosphoric acid method was 32.5% and its major component was phospholipid, which was about 70% of total lipid. The physicochemical properties of C127 mammalian cell-derved r-HBsAg are similar to those of p-HBsAg, suggesting that the r-HBsAg can be used in developing a new preventive vaccine against hepatitis B.

Recombinant single chain Fv (scFv) antibodies offer many advantages over mouse monoclonal antibodies such as faster clearance from blood, improved tumor localization, reduced human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response, and the availability to manipulate the scFv through genetic approaches. The recombinant phage display was constructed using lym-l hybridoma cells as a source of genetic starting material. mRNA was isolated from the corresponding antibodies hybridoma cells. VH and VL cDNA were amplified with RT-PCR and linked with ScFv by linker DNA to form ScFv DNA, which then were inserted into phagemid pCANTAB5E. The phage of positive clones selected with tube containing raji lymphoma cell and infected by competent E. coli HB2151 to express soluble scFv. The scFv lym-l was secreted into the cytosol and culture supernatant and shown to be of expected size (approximately 32 kDa) by western blot. An active scFv lym-l could be produced in E. coli with soluble form and high yield from hybridoma cell line, using phage display system. Immunoreactivity indicated that scFv lym1 showed a potential biding affinity against the raji lymphoma cell as its parental antibody (intact lym-l Ab).

Research has established a strong connection between a diet rich in antioxidants and a decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer. These diets prominently feature fruits and vegetables containing high amounts of vitamins A, B, C and E, carotenoids, and minerals. Different processing conditions for these foods can alter their nutrient complement and potency. This study compared the antioxidant properties of a range of processed fruits and vegetables to see which yielded the highest level of antioxidant activity. We used an acetaminophen-induced oxidative stress mouse model to evaluate the antioxidant effects of extracts of processed apple, pear, carrot, cabbage, broccoli, and radish. Our results showed that the administration of these fruits decreased the expression of oxidative stress indicators such as ALT, AST, catalase, superoxide dismutase, GPx, and 8-OHdG. They also significantly protected mice livers from APAP-induced damage, as shown by histological evaluation. Our results have demonstrated the positive effects of processed fruits and vegetables in a mouse model of oxidative stress.
