아스코크로린(Ascochlorin, ASC)은 Ascochyta viciae로부터 추출된 프레닐페놀 물질로, 혈청 콜레스테롤과 트리글리세라이드 수치를 감소시키고 종양 성장을 억제한다는 연구 결과가 보고되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 아스코크로린이 생리학적 혹은 병리학적인 작용과 염증반응에서 약리학적으로 유도되는 반응을 어떻게 조절하며, 이러한 메커니즘에 대해 이해하기 위해 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 이에 대한 프로테옴의 특이적인 발현에 대해 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 LPS를 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 염증과정에 관련된 단백질의 발현 양상을 확인하기 위해 프로테오믹스를 시행하였다. Mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리한 조건과 무처리한 조건으로 나누어 two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D SDS-PAGE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS)와 bioinformatics 방법으로 아스코크로린을 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.6 세포의 프로테옴을 분석하였다. 그 결과 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린 처리 시 Calreticulin이 4배 감소, ${\beta}-actin$도 4배 감소 그리고 vimentin이 1.5배 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 rabaptin 아스코크로린 처리에 의해 3배 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 단백질 발현은 RT-PCR을 수행하여 결과에 대해 재확인 하였으며, 프로테오믹스와 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 LPS 처리에 의해 활성화된 mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 ASC를 처리한 후 이차원 전기영동법을 이용하여, 단백질의 발현 변화 및 양상을 규명하고 단백질 지도를 확립 하였으며, RAW264.7 세포를 이용한 면역세포 모델에서 ASC의 항염증 작용을 중심으로 생리활성 조절기능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 분자 기능 조절 연구와 전 임상 연구를 통해 ASC의 생리활성 조절 기능을 규명한다면 ASC는 항염증 및 항암활성을 갖는 약물로 개발될 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: Gallic acid (GA) is the major component of tannin which could be easily founded in various natural materials such as green tea, red tea, grape juice, and Corni Fructus. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Gallic acid (GA) on production of interleukin (IL) in mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods: Productions of interleukins were measured by High-throughput Multiplex Bead based Assay with Bio-plex Suspension Array System based on $xMAP^{(R)}$ (multi-analyte profiling beads) technology. Firstly, cell culture supernatant was obtained after treatment with LPS and GA for 24 hour. Then, it was incubated with the antibody-conjugated beads for 30 minutes. And detection antibody was added and incubated for 30 minutes. And Strepavidin-conjugated Phycoerythrin (SAPE) was added. After incubation for 30 minutes, the level of SAPE fluorescence was analyzed on Bio-plex Suspension Array System and concentration of interleukin was determined. Results: The results of the experiment are as follows. 1. GA significantly inhibited the production of IL-3, IL-10, IL-12p40, and IL-17 in LPS-induced mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells at the concentration of 25, 50, 100, 200 uM (p<0.05). 2. GA significantly inhibited the production of IL-6 in LPS-induced mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells at the concentration of 50, 100, 200 uM (p<0.05). 3. GA diminished the production of some cytokine such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in LPS-induced mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. 4. GA did not show the inhibitory effect on the production of IL-$1{\alpha}$ and IL-9 in LPS-induced mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusions: These results suggest that GA has anti-inflammatory activity related with its inhibitory effects on the production of interleukins such as IL-3, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-17, and IL-6 in LPS-induced macrophages.

The purpose of this research was to investigate effect of water extract of DangKwi-Eum-Ja ka Sumsoo(DESE) on the cytotoxicity of human epidemloid cell, A431 cells. The effects of DESE on the proliferation of A431 cells, Balb/c 3T3 cells, mouse thymocytes and splenocnes were estimated by MTT colorimetric assay, and nitric oxide production from mouse peritoneal macrophage was estimated by Griess method. DESE inhibited the proliferation of A431 cells at $10{\mu}g/ml$, and did not affect the proliferation of Balb/c 3T3 cells. DESE decreased the cytotoxicity of mitomycin C or cisplatin on A431 cells, increased the cytotoxicity of mitomycin C or cisplatin on Balb/c 3T3 cells. DESE inhibited the proliferation of mouse thymocytes and splenocytes at $100{\mu}g/ml$. DESE did not affect the nitric oxide production from mouse peritoneal macrophage in vitro, but decreased the nitric oxide production from DESE-treated mouse peritoneal macrophage.

This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of ginseng saponin fraction and cyclophosphamide (CY) on the tumor development, the antitumor effect and the tumoricidal activity of mouse macrophage. When mice were treated with saponin or CY following inoculation with Sarcoma 180, tumor development was inhibited and survival ratio increased, and a combination of both treatments further inhibited the tumor development. Tumoricidal activity of macrophage was effectively increased at 10-7% concentration of CY and it was further increased when macrophage was cotreated with saponin and CY. Tumoricidal activity of macrophage was greatest at the third day after inoculating tumor cell. Both saponin and CY increased the chemiluminescence of macrophage, but CY had no effect on releasing TNF, unlike saponin.

We demonstrate that glycoprotein isolated from Dioscorea batatas (GDB) activates macrophage function. Analysis of the infiltration of macrophages into peritoneal cavity showed GDB treatment significantly increased the recruitment of macrophages into the peritoneal cavity. In order to further confirm and investigate the mechanism of GDB on macrophage activation, we analyzed the effects of GDB on the cytokine expression including IL-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-6 in mouse peritoneal macrophages. GDB increased the expression of IL-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-6. Cytokine induction by GDB was further confirmed by RT-PCR and ELISA in mouse macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 cells. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with GDB produced strong induction of NF-${\kappa}B$ DNA binding and MAPK phosphorylation, markers for macrophage activation and important factors for cytokine gene expression. Collectively, this series of experiments indicates that GDB stimulates macrophage activation.

Two flavonoids (1 and 2) and one phenolic acid (3) obtained from Erigeron annuus have recently been shown to have potent antioxidant activities. Aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of these components on $interferon-{\gamma}$ and lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide productions in the mouse pheritoneal macrophage. Compounds 2 and 3 showed marked inhibitory activities against inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) on the lipopolysaccharide and $interferon-{\gamma}-stimulated$ mouse pheritoneal macrophages without cytotoxicity. Therefore, these results suggest that the compounds could be effective anti-inflammatory agents as nitric oxide inhibitors in vivo.

Macrophage inflammatory $protein-1{\alpha}(MIP-1{\alpha})$ from activated T cell or macrophage, which is small inducible cytokine of unkown biological function, has been shown to display inflammation chemokinetic activities, as well as myelosuppressive effect on more immature progenitor cells. In this paper we show the $MIP-1{\alpha}$ mRNA expression and the presence of $MIP-1{\alpha}$ binding sites from murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and primary cells of mouse bone marrow and spleen. $MIP-1{\alpha}$ mRNA was induced from LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7, but not inhibited by cyclosporin A treatment, and also was expressed from mouse splenocyted and bone marrow cell which were not increased by ferritin or lactoferrin treatment. The results of receptor binding assay showed that radiolabeled RAW 264.7 cell with kd value of 0.91 nM, and binding sites per cell of 378. bone marrow cell and splenocyte also appeared to have $MIP-1{\alpha}$ binding sites 33 and 11 per cell, respectiviely.
