김성호,안미라,나승렬,이종환,김재하,조성기,장종식,신동호 대한방사선 방어학회 2001 방사선방어학회지 Vol.26 No.1
Apoptosis의 유발을 억제하는 한약제를 파악하여 apoptosis와 관련된 정상적 또는 질병에 대한 연구에 자료를 제공하고자 방사선에 의해 유도된 apoptosis를 지표로 한의학적 처방에서 많이 사용되는 대표적 한약제(24종)의 효과를 검증하였다. 용안육, 산조인, 원지, 인삼, 복령, 목향, 천궁, 백작약, 승마, 시호 및 눈꽃동충하초 투여군에서 apoptosis는 감소되었으며, 이들 생약제는 apoptosis와 관련된 질병의 예방 및 치료에 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 추 후 이들 생약의 작용 기전에 대한 연구가 요구된다. This study was performed to determine the effect of several herbs on radiation-induced apoptosis in jejunal crypt cells. Longyanrou(Euphoris longana), Suanzaoren(Zizyphus vulgaris), Yuanzhi(Polygala tenuifolia), Rensan(Panax ginseng), Fuling(Poria cocos), Muxiang(Saussurea lappa), Chuanxiong(Cnidium officinale), Baishaoyao(Paeonia lactifolia), Shengma(Cimicifuga heracleifolia), Chaihu(Bupleurum falcatum) and Dongchongxiacao(Paecilomyces japonica) reduced the frequency of radiation-induced apoptosis(p<0.05). Although the mechanisms of this effect remain to be elucidated, these results indicated that Longyanrou, Suanzaoren, Yuanzhi, Rensan, Fuling, Muxiang, Chuanxiong, Baishaoyao, Shengma, Chaihu and Dongchongxiacao might be useful inhibitors of apoptosis, especially since these are relative nontoxic natural products.
[${\alpha}-Adrenergic$ and Cholinergic Receptor Agonists Modulate Voltage-Gated $Ca^{2+}$ Channels
Nah, Seung-Yeol,Kim, Jae-Ha,Kim, Cheon-Ho The Korean Society of Pharmacology 1997 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology Vol.1 No.5
We investigated the effect of ${\alpha}-adrenergic$ and cholinergic receptor agonists on $Ca^{2+}$ current in adult rat trigeminal ganglion neurons using whole-cell patch clamp methods. The application of acetylcholine, carbachol, and oxotremorine ($50\;{\mu}M\;each$) produced a rapid and reversible reduction of the $Ca^{2+}$ current by $17{\pm}6%,\;19{\pm}3%,\;and\;18{\pm}4%$, respectively. Atropine, a muscarinic antagonist, blocked carbachol- induced $Ca^{2+}$ current inhibition to $3{\pm}1%$. Norepinephrine ($50\;{\mu}M$) reduced $Ca^{2+}$ current by $18{\pm}2%$, while clonidine ($50\;{\mu}M$), an ${\alpha}2-adrenergic$ receptor agonist, inhibited $Ca^{2+}$ current by only $4{\pm}1%$. Yohimbine, an ${\alpha}2-adrenergic$ receptor antagonist, did not block the inhibitory effect of norepinephrine on $Ca^{2+}$ current, whereas prazosin, an ${\alpha}1-adrenergic$ receptor antagonist, attenuated the inhibitory effect of norepinephrine on $Ca^{2+}$ current to $6{\pm}1%$. This pharmacology contrasts with ${\alpha}2-adrenergic$ receptor modulation of $Ca^{2+}$ channels in rat sympathetic neurons, which is sensitive to clonidine and blocked by yohimbine. Our data suggest that the modulation of voltage dependent $Ca^{2+}$ channel by norepinephrine is mediated via an α1-adrenergic receptor. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (250 ng/ml) for 16 h greatly reduced norepinephrine- and carbachol-induced $Ca^{2+}$ current inhibition from $17{\pm}3%\;and\;18{\pm}3%\;to\;2{\pm}1%\;and\;2{\pm}1%$, respectively. These results demonstrate that norepinephrine, through an ${\alpha}1-adrenergic$ receptor, and carbachol, through a muscarinic receptor, inhibit $Ca^{2+}$ currents in adult rat trigeminal ganglion neurons via pertussis toxin sensitive GTP-binding proteins.
Stereospecificity of Ginsenoside Rg3 Action on Ion Channels
Seung-Yeol Nah,Sang Min Jeong,Jun-Ho Lee,Jong-Hoon Kim,Byung-Hwan Lee,In-Soo Yoon,Joon-Hee Lee,김동현,임혜원,김양미 한국분자세포생물학회 2004 Molecules and cells Vol.18 No.3
Ginsenosides, active ingredients of Panax ginseng, exist as stereoisomers depending on the position of the hydroxyl group on carbon-20; i.e. 20(R)-ginsenoside and 20(S)-ginsenoside are epimers. We have shown previously that the mixture of 20(R)- and 20(S)-ginsenosides regulates ion channel activity. However, it was not clear which epimer was responsible. We investigated the structure- activity relationship of the ginsenoside Rg3 stereoisomers, 20-R-protopanaxatriol-3-[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→2)-β-glucopyranoside], (20(R)-Rg3) and 20-S-protopanaxatriol- 3-[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→2)-β-glucopyranoside], (20(S)-Rg3) in regulating voltage-dependent Ca2+, K+ or Na+ channel currents and 5-HT3A and α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptor channel currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes. 20(S)-Rg3 but not 20(R)-Rg3 inhibited the Ca2+, K+ and Na+ channel currents in a dose- and voltage-dependent manner. The fact that only 20(S)-Rg3 is active indicates that its hydroxyl group may be geometrically better aligned with the hydroxyl acceptor group in the ion channels than that of 20(R)-Rg3. However, both Rg3 stereoisomers inhibited 5- HT3A and α3β4 nACh receptor channel currents. These results indicate that the selectivity of action of the Rg3 stereoisomers differs between voltage-dependent and ligand-gated ion channels.
Ginseng; Recent Advances and Trends
Nah, Seung-Yeol The Korean Society of Ginseng 1997 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.21 No.1
Ginseng, the root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, is well-known oriental herbal medicine. The number of paper reporting the effects on its physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral effects has been increased every year, since ginsenosides isolated from ginseng are known to be biologically active components. This brief review summarizes some of new findings from recently published papers on ginsenosides or ginseng saponins. Therefore, this paper includes the various effects of ginsenosides on neuronal cell growths, on behavior of experimental animals, on enzyme activities, on the release and uptake of neurotransmitters, on neuronal cell excitability, on the motility of intestine, on antitumor activity, on cardiovascular system and metabolism. In spite of various effects of ginsenosides on various cells or organs, it is still to date impossible for one to clearly explain the exact mechanism on the action of ginsenosides. However, in this article I will discuss several papers providing possible explanations on the physiological and pharmacological actions including signal transudation pathway of ginsenosides. The elucidation of the exact mechanism of ginsenosides on cellular or molecular level will not only give us a chance to explain why people have used ginseng as an elixir of life for several thousands of year but also give us a crucial chance to apply ginseng to modern medicine.
