흰자작나무의 껍질에서 발견된 자연적으로 발생한 triterpene 인 betulinic acid (BA)가 다양한 종류의 암세포와 동물 모델에서 세포사멸을 유도하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 자궁경부암세포에서 BA의 화학적 암예방 효과는 연구되지 않은 상태이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 사람 자궁경부암세포주인 KB세포를 이용하여, BA가 세포증식을 감소시키고 세포사멸을 유도하는 것을 확인하였다. KB 세포에서 BA에 의해 유도되는 세포증식의 억제는 specificity protein 1 (Sp1)과 Sp1의 표적단백질인 myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) 그리고 survivin의 감소 때문인 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 BA는 자궁경부암에서 과다 발현되는 Sp1을 조절하는 새로운 화학적 암예방 물질로서 작용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Panax ginseng Meyer (Araliaceae) is a highly valued medicinal plant in Asian regions, especially in Korea, China, and Japan. Chemical and biological studies on P. ginseng have focused primarily on its roots, whereas the seeds remain poorly understood. This study explores the phytochemical and biological properties of compounds from P. ginseng seeds. Methods: P. ginseng seeds were extracted with methanol, and 16 compounds were isolated using various chromatographic methods. The chemical structures of the isolates were determined by spectroscopic data. Antiinflammatory activities were evaluated for triterpene and steroidal saponins using lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages and THP-1 monocyte leukemia cells. Results: Phytochemical investigation of P. ginseng seeds led to the isolation of a novel triterpene saponin, pseudoginsenoside RT₈, along with 15 known compounds. Pseudoginsenoside RT₈ exhibited more potent antiinflammatory activity than the other saponins, attenuating lipopolysaccharide-mediated induction of proinflammatory genes such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and matrix metalloproteinase-9, and suppressed reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide generation in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: These findings indicate that pseudoginsenoside RT₈ has a pharmaceutical potential as an antiinflammatory agent and that P. ginseng seeds are a good natural source for discovering novel bioactive molecules.

We investigated the effects of triterpene acids (TAs), ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA), on the induction of proliferation and differentiation of normal rat mammary epithelial cells (RMEC) or organoids cultured in Matrigel or primary culture system. To elucidate the effects, we tested their differentiation inducing activities with intercellular communication ability, cell cycle patterns, induction of apoptosis, and morphological differentiation in the three dimensional extracellular culture system. To study the changes of RMEC subpopulation in culture, the cultured cells were isolated, immunostained with peanut lectin (PNA) and anti-Thy-1.1 antibody and then analyzed with flow cytometry. Four different subpopulations, such as PNA and Thy-1.1 negative cells (B-), PNA positive cells (PNA+), Thy-1.1 positive cells (Thy-1.1+), PNA and Thy-1.1 positive cells (B+), were obtained and the size of each subpopulation was changed in culture with time in the presence of TAs. Intercellular communication was observed in culture for 7 days in TAs-treated cells, but not in culture for 4 days with scrape-loading dye transfer technique. $G_2$/M phase cells and the number of apoptotic population were increased in TAs-treated groups in cell cycle analyses. S phase fractions were reduced and the change of $G_1$ phase cells was not observed. The colonies with distinct multicelfular structures, such as stellate, ductal, webbed, squamous, lobulo-ductal colonies, were observed in Matrigel culture and the frequencies of each colony were changed in the presence of TAs. These results suggest that UA and OA have differentiation inducing effects on rat mammary epithelial cells in primary or in Matrigel culture.

본 연구에서는 제주도에서 자생한 병풀을 수집해 스마트팜과 노지에서 재배하고 이를 이용하여 주요성분 및 각질형성세포 활성화에 미치는 영향을 확인 및 비교하였다. 스마트팜 재배 병풀과 노지 재배 병풀의 유전자 확인을 통한 종 분석을 위해, 핵 속의 ITS DNA와 엽록체의 psbA-H DNA를 증폭하여 염기서열을 분석한 후 NCBI 유전자 은행에서 보고된 식물들의 DNA와 비교하였다. 스마트팜 재배 병풀과 노지 재배 병풀의 ITS DNA 염기서열은 유전자 은행의 MH768338.1번 Centella asiatica와 일치하고 엽록체 psbA-H DNA 또한 유전자 은행의 JQ425422.1번 C. asiatica와 일치하였다. 스마트팜 재배 병풀추출물(SEE)과 노지 재배 병풀추출물(FEE)의 triterpene은 HPLC에 의해 분석되었으며, SEE의 madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid 함량은 각각 59.31±0.94 mg/g, 46.38±2.26 mg/g, 6.21±1.47 mg/g, 7.04±1.93 mg/g으로 분석되었다. 반면, FEE는 각각 24.38±1.31 mg/g, 21.28±1.44 mg/g, 3.11±1.05 mg/g, 5.40±1.26 mg/g으로 측정되어 SEE가 FEE보다 더 높은 triterpene을 갖는 것이 확인되었다. 사람 각질형성세포에 대한 SEE와 FEE의 독성은 실험된 농도 내에서 관찰되지 않았으며, 스크래치가 유발된 세포 내 회복은 SEE가 FEE보다 더 높은 회복능을 보였다. 따라서, 본 실험 결과 triterpene 함량이 더 높은 스마트팜 재배 병풀이 건강기능식품 소재로서 더 효과적이라고 판단된다.

Three lupane type triterpenoids were isolated from the methanol extract of Pyrus pyrifolia fruit peel through repeated silica gel column chromatography. Based on the spectroscopic methods, their structures were determined to be lupeol (1), betulin (2), and betulinic acid (3).
