Superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the essential element of the antioxidant defense system, mainly removes $O^{-10}$ $_2$ and also prevents $O^{-10}$ $_2$ mediated reduction of iron and subsequent OH$^{-10}$ generation, which is highly toxic to the organism. Of these SOD enzymes, Cu, Zn-containing SOD (SODI) is an important component of the antioxidant defense system in eucaryotic cells. The SODI enzyme binds one copper and one zinc ion and displays the Greek Key $\beta$-barrel fuld. (omitted)

This study was designed to investigate the effects of silk fibroin(Mw 500) powder (SFP) on oxygen radicals and the scavenger enzymes in brain membranes of rats. Spragu-Dawley(SD) male rats(160${\pm}$10g) were fed basic diet(control group), and experimental diets(SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups) added 2.5 and 5.0g/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Hydroxyl radical($.$OH) levels resulted in a decreases(6.6% and 9.7%, 2.8% and 11.9%, respectively) in brain mitochondria and microsomes of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group, but were significantly decreased in these membrances of SFP-5.0 group only. Superoxide radical (O2) levels were a slightly decreased (2.0% and 9.1%, respectively) in brain cytosol of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. Lipid peroxide(LPO) levels were significantly decreased (12.9% and 21.9%, 13.2% and 22.5%, respectively) in brain mitochondria and microsomes of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. Oxidized protein (OP) levels were significantly decreased (16.7% and 15.7%, respectively) in brain microsomes of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 group compared with control group, but significantly difference between in brain mitochondria of these two groups could not be obtained. Mn-SOD activities were remarkably increased (11.2% and 24.2%, respectively) in mitochodria of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups. CuZn-SOD activities were effectively increased (7.7% and 19.6%, respectively) in brain cytosol of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups, but significant difference between control and SFP-2.5 groups could be not obtained. GSHPx activities were considerably increased (5.3% and 11.7%, respectively) in brain cytosol of SFP-2.0 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. There results suggest that anti-aging effect of silk fibroin may play an effective learning and memory role in a attenuating a oxidative stress and increasing a scavenger enzyme activity in brain membranes.

The methanol extract obtained from the aerial parts of Aceriphyllum rossii (Saxifragaceae) was fractionated into ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-BuOH and $H_2O$ layers through solvent fractionation. Repeated silica gel column chromatography of EtOAc and n-BuOH layers afforded six flavonol glycosides. They were identified as kaempferol 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (astragalin, 1), quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (isoquercitrin, 2), kaempferol 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\to}6)-\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (3), quercetin 3-O$\alpha$-L-rharnnopyranosyl $(1{\to}6)-\beta$-D-qlucopyrano-side (rutin, 4), kaempferol 3-O-[$\alpha$-L-rharnnopyranosyl $(1{\to}4)-\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\to}6)-\beta$-D-glucopyranoside] (5) and quercetin 3-O-[$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\to}4)\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl $(1{\to}6)\beta$-D-glucopyranoside] (6) on the basis of several spectral data. The antioxidant activity of the six compounds was investigated using two free radicals such as the ABTS free radical and superoxide anion radical. Compound 1 exhibited the highest antioxidant activity in the ABTS $\{2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)\}$ radical scavenging method. 100 mg/L of compound 1 was equivalent to $72.1\pm1.4\;mg/L$ of vitamin C, and those of compounds 3 and 5 were equivalent to $62.7\pm0.5\;mg/L$ and $54.3\pm1.3\;mg/L$ of vitamin C, respectively. And in the superoxide anion radical scavenging method, compound 5 exhibited the highest activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of $17.6{\pm}0.3{\mu}M$. In addition, some physical and spectral data of the flavonoids were confirmed.

본 연구에서는 오존에 대한 다년생 지피식물의 내성과 피해 특징을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 도심 녹화 수종으로 많이 이용되는 지피식물인 기린초(Sedum kamtschaticum)와 비비추(Hosta longipes)를 대상으로 환경조절형 자연광 노출상에서 $200{\mu}g{\cdot}kg^{-1}$의 오존을 하루 8시간씩(오전 8시-오후 4시) 처리하였다. 초종간 피해 정도는 생리활성 분석[수분이용효율(water use efficiency), 엽록소(chlorophyll) 및 카로티노이드(carotenoid) 함량]과 활성산소종 발생분석을 통해 조사하였다. 오존처리는 기린초와 비비추 모두에서 낮 동안의 수분이용효율을 현저하게 감소시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 엽록소 함량과 카로티노이드 함량 역시 두 수종 모두 오존처리에 따라 감소되었으며, hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$)와 superoxide radical($O_2{^-}$)과 같은 활성산소종의 축적이 확인되었다. 이와 같은 결과들을 토대로 기린초가 비비추에 비해 대기 중 오존에 대한 저항성이 높은 것으로 보이며, 오존에 대한 반응이 빠른 초종인 비비추의 경우 대기 중 오존 농도증가에 대한 지표식물로도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS), an herbal medicine found in East Asia, was extracted and further fractionated to investigate its antioxidant capacity and neuroprotective effects. The RVS ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction had the highest level of total phenolics and antioxidant capacity among all solvent fractions tested. Pretreatment of PC-12 cells with the EtOAc fraction effectively attenuated $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative damage. Furthermore, the EtOAc fraction significantly attenuated caspase-3 activity, resulting in inhibition of $H_2O_2$-induced apoptosis. We identified and quantified fustin, sulfuretin, and butein in the EtOAc fraction using accurate mass quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The intracellular antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were significantly increased in PC-12 cells treated with the EtOAc fraction and with individual flavonoids. When cells were pretreated with the EtOAc fraction or individual flavonoids and then co-incubated with diethyldithiocarbamic acid (an inhibitor of SOD activity), cell viability against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress was attenuated. These results suggest that the RVS EtOAc fraction and its flavonoid constituents protect PC-12 cells against $H_2O_2$-induced neurotoxicity through their antioxidant properties.

Nitric oxide (NO) affects the growth and development of plants and also affects plant responses to various stresses. Because NO induces root differentiation, we examined whether or not it is involved in increased ROS generation. Treatments with sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an NO donor, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO), a specific NO scavenger, and $N{\omega}-nitro-{\text\tiny{L}}-arginine$ methyl ester hydrochloride (${\text\tiny{L}}-NAME$), an NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, revealed that NO is involved in the adventitious root growth of mountain ginseng. Supply of an NO donor, SNP, activates NADPH oxidase activity, resulting in increased generation of $O_2{^{{\cdot}-}}$, which subsequently induces growth of adventitious roots. Moreover, treatment with diphenyliodonium chloride (DPI), an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, individually or with SNP, inhibited root growth, NADPH oxidase activity, and $O_2{^{{\cdot}-}}$ anion generation. Supply of the NO donor, SNP, did not induce any notable isoforms of enzymes; it did, however, increase the activity of pre-existing bands of NADPH oxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase. Enhanced activity of antioxidant enzymes induced by SNP supply seems to be responsible for a low level of $H_2O_2$ in the adventitious roots of mountain ginseng. It was therefore concluded that NO-induced generation of $O_2{^{{\cdot}-}}$ by NADPH oxidase seems to have a role in adventitious root growth of mountain ginseng. The possible mechanism of NO involvement in $O_2{^{{\cdot}-}}$ generation through NADPH oxidase and subsequent root growth is discussed.

연구배경 : 호중구에 의한 인체내 방어기전으로서의 살균작용 또는 병리기전으로서의 세포독성반응은 호중구의 호흡폭발(respiratory burst)에 의한 과산화물음이온(superoxide anion) 등 각종 산소기의 유리에 크게 의존하고 있다. Theophylline은 adenosine에 길항적으로 작용하지만 이역시 호중구및 혈관내피세포의 cAMP농도를 상승시켜 호중구의 산소기유리및 부착성(adherence)을 억제하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 결과는 정상인에게서 얻어진 말초 호중구나 실험적으로 패혈증상태가 유발된후로부터 수분내의 동물을 대상으로 얻어진 결과로써 이미 세균에 감염되어 수시간이 지나 폐혈증 증상을 보이는 환자에서의 연구는 국내외적으로 아직 보고된 바 없어 패혈증 증상용 보이는 급성폐렴환자에서 aminophylline(AMPH) 정주전후의 말초동맥혈 호중구에서의 과산화물 음이온유리 측정과 동맥혈 산소분압, 맥박 및 혈압을 비교하여 AMPH의 급성 폐렴 환자에게의 임상적 의의를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 패혈증 증상을 보이는 폐렴 환자 11예를 대상으로 AMPH을 정주하기전 및 계속 정주후 60분후의 동맥혈 호중구 $2{\times}10^6/ml$를 분리, 사이토크롬 c 환원법으로 과산화물 음이온을 측정하고 또 각기의 말초호중구수의 변화 및 임상상태를 비교하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 호중구의 자극은 PMA 10 ${\mu}l/ml$로 유발하였다. 결과: 1) AMPH 정주 60분후의 AMPH 혈중 농도는 $8.8{\pm}0.6{\mu}g/ml$ 이었다. 2) AMPH 정주전의 과산화물 음이온은 안정상태의 호중구에서 $0.076{\pm}0.034$(OD) 로서 정주후에는 $0.013{\pm}0.004$(OD) 로 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 3) AMPH 정주전후의 호중구 자극상태에서의 과산화물 음이온은 각기 $0.177{\pm}0.044$(OD), $0.095{\pm}0.042$(OD) 로서 역시 AMPH 정주후 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 4) AMPH 정주전후의 말초호중구수와 혈압, 맥박 및 동맥혈산소분압은 양군간에 차이가 없었다. 결론: 1) 급성 폐렴환자에서의 AMPH 사용은 호중구의 호흡폭발을 감소시켜 방어기전으로서의 호중구의 역할을 억제할 것으로 생각되며 임상적으로 다장기 부전증의 증거가 없는 한 감염증세가 우세한 폐렴초기에는 가급적 사용을 억제하는 편이 좋으리라 사료된다. 2) AMPH 사용으로 인한 동맥혈산소분압은 호전은 기대할 수 없고 맥박의 상승 및 혈압의 감소경향이 있어 혈류동태가 불안정하거나 심혈관 질환이 있는 환자에서의 사용은 피해야 할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 환경요인의 변화, 특히 겨울철 저온이 식물체에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 밝히기 위해, 저온감수성 식물인 문주란을 대상으로 겨울철 일주기에 있어서 항산화효소 활성과 O-J-I-P곡선의 변화를 조사하였다. 겨울철의 superoxide dismutase와 peroxidase의 활성은 여름철에 비해 다소 증가하였다. 특히, peroxidase는 겨울철 새벽과 밤에 높은 활성을 보였으며 초겨울에만 특이적으로 검출되는 isoenzyme들로 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 겨울철 문주란 잎의 O-J-I-P곡선에서 J, I, P-단계의 형광세기가 여름철에 비해 현저하게 감소하였다. 그리고, O-J-I-P곡선으로부터 산출된 주요 형광변수들 중에 Fm과 $\Phi_{po}$는 겨울철 저온에 노출되는 기간이 길어짐에 따라 각각 $30\%$와 $50\%$로 감소하였으며, ABS/RC는 초겨울보다는 늦은 겨울에 2배정도 증가하였다.
