본 연구에서는 고종시 감껍질을 열수 추출 및 초임계 유체 추출하여 아토피 피부염 증상 억제 효과를 밝히고, 항염 효능을 나타내는 기능성 소재로서의 이용 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 육안 평가를 통해 피부의 홍반(erythema), 가려움과 피부의 건조상태(pruritus and dry skin), 부종과 혈종(edema and excoriation), 짓무름(erosion), 그리고 태선화(lichenification)와 같은 아토피 피부염 같은 증상이 AD 모델에서 증가하였지만, SPPE와 PPWE를 투여하였을 경우 완화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, SPPE가 PPWE보다 더 뛰어난 효과를 나타내었다. 피부 두께와 염증 세포의 침윤은 AD 모델에서 크게 증가하였지만, SPPE와 PPWE를 투여하였을 경우 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, SPPE가 PPWE보다 더 뛰어난 효과를 나타내었다. 혈청 중의 IgE와 IL-4의 수치를 측정한 결과, AD 모델에서 크게 증가하였으나 SPPE와 PPWE를 투여하였을 경우 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, SPPE가 PPWE보다 더 뛰어나게 억제하는 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 RAW264.7 세포에 SPPE를 처리하였을 경우 염증매개 인자인 NO, PGE2, IL-6, IL-1β의 생성량이 유의적의로 감소하였고, PPWE의 경우 NO, PGE2, IL-1β의 생성을 억제한 반면 IL-6 생성 억제에는 영향을 나타내지 않았다. 이러한 염증 매개인자 억제 효능은 SPPE가 PPWE보다 더 뛰어나게 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 감껍질 추출물은 아토피 피부염 증상 개선과 염증관련 질환 치료를 위한 기능성 천연물 소재로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. This study aimed to investigate the anti-atopic effect of hot water (PPWE) and supercritical-carbon dioxide fluid extract of persimmon peels (SPPE) on atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions in hairless mice. Histological analyses demonstrated that SPPE treatment more strongly inhibited the dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells in AD-like skin lesions than that by PPWE. Compared to PPWE, SPPE significantly decreased the dermatitis clinical score and the epidermal thickness and potently suppressed serum IgE and interleukin (IL)-4 production in hairless mice with AD. Furthermore, compared to PPWE, SPPE potently inhibited the production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E₂, and proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-1β in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. These results suggested that SPPE exhibited anti-atopic dermatitis activity via the regulation of inflammatory responses.

( Byoung Ok Cho ),( Jae Young Shin ),( Ji-su Kim ),( Denis Nchang Che ),( Hyun Ju Kang ),( Do-youn Jeong ),( Seon Il Jang ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2019 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.29 No.5

The present study was conducted with the aim to investigate the ameliorative effects of a new soybean product (cheonggukjang) fermented with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SCGB1 (SFBA) in atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Visual evaluation of AD induction in the mice indicated the remarkable control of SFBA in reducing the pathological severity of AD-like skin lesions reported as the SCORAD score of AD clinical symptoms. The results revealed that SFBA reduced dorsal skin and epidermal thickness to a similar extent with prednisolone. Further analysis revealed the dominance of SFBA in restraining mast cell infiltration in the dermis; immunoglobulin-E expression in serum; and TH2 IL-4 cytokine and itch-related IL-31 cytokine in the mice skin and serum. SFBA also suppressed scratching behaviours in mice induced by compound 48/80. Further histological findings also revealed the alleviation of collagen fiber deposition in dermal skin of the AD mice model. These actions of SFBA were examined to be mediated by its suppression of the phosphorylation activation of key signalling molecules such as NF-κB and MAPK responsible for the induction of cytokine production. Thus, SFBA can be considered as a promising functional food for managing clinical, histological and immunological spectra associated with AD.

조병옥(Byoung Ok Cho),윤홍화(Hong Hua Yin),방숭주(Chong Zhou Fang),하혜옥(Hye Ok Ha),김상준(Sang Jun Kim),정승일(Seung Il Jeong),장선일(Seon Il Jang) 한국식품과학회 2015 한국식품과학회지 Vol.47 No.1

본 연구에서는 들깨 유래 기능성 물질인 rosmarinic acid (RA)와 luteolin이 RAW264.7 세포에서 항염증작용에 대한 상승 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 RAW264.7 세포에 RA (50 μM)와 luteolin (1 μM)을 동시에 처리하였을 경우 염증 매개 인자인 NO, iNOS, PGE2, COX-2의 생성을 RA (100 μM)와 luteolin (2 μM)을 각각 처리하였을 때 보다 더 뛰어나게 억제하였다. 또한 RA (50 μM)와 luteolin (1 μM)을 동시에 처리하였을 경우 TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β 같은 염증성 사이토카인의 생성량을 RA (100 μM)와 luteolin (2 μM)을 각각 처리하였을 때 보다 더 뛰어나게 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 RA (50 μM)와 luteolin (1 μM)을 동시에 처리하였을 경우 RA (100 μM)와 luteolin (2 μM)을 각각 처리하였을 때 보다 NF-κB의 subunit인 p65의 translocation과 IκB-α의 degradation을 더 뛰어나게 억제하는 것을 볼 수 있어 두 화합물 간의 상승작용이 뚜렷함을 확인 할 수 있었고, RA와 luteolin 두 화합물을 동시에 처리할 경우 염증관련 질환 치료에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic anti-inflammatory effect of rosmarinic acid (RA) and luteolin from perilla (Perilla frutescens L.) leaves in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. A combination of RA and luteolin more strongly inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), inducible NOS (iNOS), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and COX-2 than higher concentrations of RA or luteolin alone in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The combined RA and luteolin synergistically inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, combined RA and luteolin more strongly suppressed NF-κB activation than RA or luteolin alone, by inhibiting the degradation of inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB)-α and nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-κB in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Collectively, these results suggest that RA and luteolin in combination exhibit synergistic effects in suppression of LPS-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 macrophages.

조병옥(Byoung Ok Cho),윤홍화(Hong Hua Yin),신재영(Jae Young Shin),방숭주(Chong Zhou Fang),체 데니스 창(Chong Zhou Fang),장선일(Seon Il Jang) 한국식품영양과학회 2016 한국식품영양과학회지 Vol.45 No.4

본 연구는 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎을 단독으로 사용하기보다 혼합하여 사용할 경우 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎 복합추출물이 아토피 피부염(AD) 증상을 억제하는지 효과를 밝히고, 항염효능을 나타내는 기능성 소재로서의 이용 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 육안 평가를 통해 피부의 건조 상태, 스케일링, 미란, 찰과상 및 홍반 같은 아토피 피부염 증상이 AD 모델에서 증가하였지만, 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎 각각의 추출물과 복합추출물을 투여하였을 경우 완화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 복합추출물이 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎 각각의 추출물보다 더 뛰어난 효과를 나타내었다. 피부 두께와 염증세포 및 비만세포의 침윤은 AD 모델에서 크게 증가하였지만, 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎 단독추출물과 복합추출물을 투여하였을 경우 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 복합추출물이 단독추출물보다 더 뛰어난 효과를 나타내었다. 혈청중의 IgE와 IL-4의 수치를 측정한 결과 AD 모델에서 많이 증가하였으나, 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎 단독추출물과 복합추출물을 투여하였을 경우 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 복합추출물이 단독추출물보다 더 뛰어나게 억제하는 효과를 나타내었다. HMC-1 세포에 복합추출물을 처리하였을 경우 염증성 사이토카인인 TNF-α와 IL-6의 생성량이 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 또한 RAW 264.7 세포에 복합추출물을 처리하였을 경우 염증 매개 인자인 TNF-α, IL-6, PGE2 및 NO 생성량이 감소하였고, 이러한 염증 매개 인자 억제 효능은 복합추출물이 단독추출물보다 더 뛰어나게 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로 미루어볼 때 고욤잎, 감잎 및 뽕잎을 혼합한 복합추출물을 사용할 때 효능이 더 우수한 것을 확인하였고, 아토피 피부염 증상 개선 및 염증관련 질환 치료를 위한 기능성 천연물 소재 및 제품 개발에 응용이 가능할 것으로 생각한다. The present study investigated the anti-atopic effects of mixed extracts from date plum, persimmon, and mulberry leaves (DPME) on atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions in hairless mice. The in vivo results demonstrated that DPME treatment significantly reduced the dermatitis clinical score and epidermal thickness in AD-like skin lesions. Histological analyses showed that DPME treatment strongly inhibited dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells and activity of mast cells in AD-like skin lesions. DPME treatment inhibited production of serum IgE and interluekin (IL)-4 in hairless mice with AD. Moreover, DPME treatment significantly suppressed production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6 cytokines in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated HMC-1 human mast cells. In addition, DPME treatment reduced production of pro-inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, TNF-α, and IL-6) in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the anti-atopic and anti-inflammatory effects of DPME may be involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses, suggesting that DPME may be used as an anti-atopic dermatitis material and natural anti-inflammatory ingredient.

<P>T cell stimulation via glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-related protein (GITR) elicits antitumor activity in various tumor models; however, the underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. Here we demonstrate a crucial role for interleukin (IL)-9 in antitumor immunity generated by the GITR agonistic antibody DTA-1. IL-4 receptor knockout (Il4ra(-/-)) mice, which have reduced expression of IL-9, were resistant to tumor growth inhibition by DTA-1. Notably, neutralization of IL-9 considerably impaired tumor rejection induced by DTA-1. In particular, DTA-1-induced IL-9 promoted tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses by enhancing the function of dendritic cells in vivo. Furthermore, GITR signaling enhanced the differentiation of IL-9-producing CD4(+) T-helper (T(H)9) cells in a TNFR-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)- and NF-kappa B-dependent manner and inhibited the generation of induced regulatory T cells in vitro. Our findings demonstrate that GITR co-stimulation mediates antitumor immunity by promoting T(H)9 cell differentiation and enhancing CTL responses and thus provide a mechanism of action for GITR agonist-mediated cancer immunotherapies.</P>

Ji Hyeon Park,Jae Young Shin,Feng Wang,Suping Hao,Da Jeong Shin,Seon Il Jang,Byoung Ok Cho 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

Chronic pruritus is the main symptom that increases the suffering of patients in hypersensitivity disorder disease. IL-31 is a pruritic cytokine with a primary objective to control itch. A 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS) is a type of flavonoid extracted from the seeds of milk thistle. DHS has been reported to have hepatoprotective, angiogenic, and antioxidant effects. This study investigated the effect of DHS pretreatment on IL-31-associated pruritus in astrocytes and microglia. Pretreatment with DHS inhibited the production of IL-31 by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) stimulation in microglia. Pretreatment with DHS inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPK, STAT1 and NF-κB by LPS plus IFN-γ stimulation in microglia. In addition, DHS suppressed the expression of IL-31 receptor A in IL-31-treated astrocytes. DHS also inhibited lipocalin2 production in IL-31 stimulated astrocytes. Taken together, DHS has potential as a therapeutic agent for symptom relief by down-regulating the IL-31-mediated pruritus mechanism in microglia and astrocytes.

서민정(Min-Jeong Seo),강병원(Byoung-Won Kang),김민정(Min-Jeong Kim),이혜현(Hye-Hyeon Lee),서권일(Kwon-il Seo),김광혁(Kwang-Hyuk Kim),정영기(Yong-Kee Jeong) 한국식품과학회 2014 한국식품과학회지 Vol.46 No.1

본 연구는 동충하초(Cordyces militaris) 유래의 기능성 물질인 코디세핀의 면역활성을 검증하기 위하여 C57BL6 마우스 복강 대식세포를 이용하여 코디세핀이 대식세포의 활성화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 시험하였다. 그 결과 LPS에 의해 유도된 마우스 복강세포는 코디세핀의 작용에 의해 IL-1β, IL-12, TNF-α의 염증성 사이토카인의 생성이 증대되어 초기 염증매개 반응을 유도하여 선천면역반응의 활성화와 그리고 면역작용에 있어 후기 적응면역의 전환으로의 T 림프구의 활성화가 예상된다. 또한 IL-6의 생성증대로 활성화된 T 림프구에 의해 B 림프구의 항체생성반응을 매개하는 면역반응도 상승할 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 대식세포에 의한 염증반응에서 염증매개인자인 NO와 H₂O₂의 생성을 증대시킴에 따라 대식세포의 독성작용을 활성화시켜 염증반응을 효과적으로 유도할 것으로 보이며, 또한 H₂O₂의 후기 생성을 저해하였는데 이는 염증반응에 유도될 수 있는 세포의 손상으로부터 세포를 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 코디세핀은 외부인자로부터 염증매개성 면역반응의 증강작용을 나타내는 것으로 사료된다. The effect of cordycepin purified from Cordyceps militaris on macrophage activation was investigated in peritoneal macrophages isolated from C57BL6 mice. Lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse peritoneal cells showed that cordycepin treatment increased the expression of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), leading to early inflammation-mediated reactions, the activation of immunological responses, and T lymphocyte activation. T lymphocytes, activated by a greater production of IL-6, resulted in antibody-generating immune reactions, suggesting that cordycepin was effective at inducing immunological responses. Consistent with the increase in the inflammation-mediating factors including nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), the toxic response of macrophages was activated and effectively induced inflammation. These findings demonstrate that cordycepin is involved in reducing cell injury provoked by inflammatory reactions. Therefore, these results suggest that cordycepin treatment of mouse peritoneal cells induces inflammation-mediated immunological responses and immunostimulation.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Mangostenone F in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated RAW264.7 Macrophages by Suppressing NF-κB and MAPK Activation

( Byoung Ok Cho ),( Hyung Won Ryu ),( Yang Kang So ),( Chang Wook Lee ),( Chang Hyun Jin ),( Hong Sun Yook ),( Yong Wook Jeong ),( Jong Chun Park ),( Il Yun Jeong ) 한국응용약물학회 2014 Biomolecules & Therapeutics(구 응용약물학회지) Vol.22 No.4

Mangostenone F (MF) is a natural xanthone isolated from Garcinia mangostana. However, little is known about the biological activities of MF. This study was designed to investigate the anti-infl ammatory effect and underlying molecular mechanisms of MF in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. MF dose-dependently inhibited the production of NO, iNOS, and pro-infl ammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Moreover, MF decreased the NF-κB luciferase activity and NF-κB DNA binding capacity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, MF suppressed the NF-κB activation by inhibiting the degradation of IκBα and nuclear translocation of p65 subunit of NF-κB. In addition, MF attenuated the AP-1 luciferase activity and phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAP kinases. Taken together, these results suggest that the anti-infl ammatory effect of MF is associated with the suppression of NO production and iNOS expression through the down-regulation of NF-κB activation and MAPK signaling pathway in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.

Antipruritic effect of 2,3-dehydrosilybin in IL-6-induced astrocyte and chloroquine-treated mice by targeting STAT3 signaling pathways

Byoung Ok Cho,Jae Young Shin,Ji Hyeon Park,Feng Wang,Suping Hao,Da Jeong Shin,Seon Il Jang 한국실험동물학회 2021 한국실험동물학회 학술발표대회 논문집 Vol.2021 No.7

Chronic pruritus is a symptom that reduces the quality of life of patients with inflammatory skin disease. Persistent activation of astrocytic signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) contributes to the elevation of chronic pruritus. STAT3 activation increases lipocalin-2 (LCN2) expression and enhances pruritus. A 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS) is a type of flavonoid extracted from the seeds of milk thistle. DHS has been reported to have hepatoprotective, angiogenic, and antioxidant effects. In this study, the inhibitory effect of DHS on chronic pruritus was investigated in IL-6-treated astrocytes and chloroquine-injected mice. As a result, DHS prevented STAT3 activation and LCN2 production in IL-6-treated astrocytes. Moreover, DHS inhibited scratching and inhibited the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in chloroquine-injected mice. It also reduced the level of inflammatory cytokines in the mice serum. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that DHS suppressed itch through the STAT3 signaling pathway. Thus our results suggest that DHS can prevent and/or treat chronic itch.
