Resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a naturally occuring polyphenol compound which present in the skin of grapes and red wine has been considered to posses chemopreventive and antioxidant properties. However, little is known about the cellular actions by which resveratrol mediates its therapeutic effects. In this study, the effect of resveratrol on cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in human osteogenic sarcoma (HOS) cells was investigated. IC50 value was determined to be approximately 60μg/mℓ. Chromosomal DNA framgmentation analysis showed the appearance degraded DNA in time-and dose-dependent manner upon treatment of resveratrol. In order to observe the molecular mechanism involved in resveratrol-induced apoptosis, Western blot analysis was performed. We observed the decrease in the level of procaspase-3, the zymogen form of active caspase-3 in resveratrol-treated cells. This result implies that caspase-3 is activated upon treatment of resveratrol. The activation of caspase-3 was confirmed by the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. Taken together, our data demonstrate that resveratrol has anti-proliferative effect on HOS cells and induced apoptosis through activation of caspase-3 and PARP cleavage.

S. typhimurium TA98의 생육에 영향을 미치지 않는 농도까지 resveratrol의 농도를 assay당 2, 10, 25, 50 100, 300 ㎍으로 증가시켰을 경우 항돌연변이 효과는 각각 13%, 30%, 52%, 65%, 81% 및 89%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 Trp P-1의 변이원성에 대하여 resveratrol은 강한 돌연변이 억제효과를 나타내며, 용량 의존적으로 억제함이 확인되었다.

대기 오염은 피부의 산화적 손상, 염증 및 노화를 일으킬 수 있다. 레스베라트롤은 폴리페놀 화합물의 일종으로 항산화, 항염증, 멜라닌 생성 억제 작용 등 다양한 생물학적 활성이 있는 한편 열과 빛에 약한 단점이 있다. 레스베라트릴 트라이아세테이트(RTA)는 레스베라트롤에 비해 안정하고, 피부 안전성과 미백 효능이 보고된 화장품 신소재이다. 본 연구의 목적은 직경 10 μ m 미만 대기 미립자 물질(PM10)에 노출된 인간 표피 각질형성세포(HEK)의 염증 반응에 대한 레스베라트롤과 RTA의 영향을 조사하기 위한 것이다. 배양된 HEK세 포를 레스베라트롤과 RTA의 유무 조건에서 PM10에 노출시키고, 세포 생존율, 반응성 산소종(ROS)의 생성 및 염증성 사이토카인의 발현을 분석하였다. PM10을 처리하였을 때 세포 생존율이 감소하였고 종양괴사인자- α(TNF-α), 인터루킨-1β(IL-1β), 인터루킨-6(IL-6) 및 인터루킨-8(IL-8)의 발현이 증가하였다. 레 스베라트롤과 RTA는 PM10으로 유도된 세포의 사멸과 ROS 생성을 경감시켰다. PM10에 의해 증가되는 여러 염증성 사이토카인의 발현은 레스베라트롤과 RTA에 의해 경감되거나(IL-6), 증진되거나(IL-1β), 변화하지 않았다(TNF-α 및 IL-8). PM10에 의해 유도된 IL-6단백질의 발현이 레스베라트롤과 RTA에 의해 감소되 었다. 본 연구의 결과는 레스베라트롤과 RTA가 대기 미립자 물질에 노출된 피부의 세포 손상과 염증 반응을 조절하는 작용이 있음을 시사한다.

Background : Resveratrol is the stillbenoid material made by the stress factors from the plants like grape, blueberry and Polygonum cuspidatum and it has useful pharmacological activity such as anti-cancer and longevity effect. Although grapevine contains less resveratrol compared to Polygonum cuspidatum, it is expected that a large amount of resveratrol can be obtained using by-products from the processing because grapes are one of the crops grown and processed considerably in south Korea. Methods and Results : As the result of the analysis of resveratrol content in grape extract using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it was showed that the amount of the resveratrol was 46.8~47.8 mg(about 4.7~4.8%) per 1 g of grape extract. The method used for purifying resveratrol from grape extract was a column chromatography and adsorption resin was used in packing the column. The content of resveratrol in the eluate obtained by column chromatography was analyzed by HPLC. Then the solid content obtained by freeze-drying was analyzed to get the purity and the collect rate of the resveratrol by measuring the weight. The result showed that the purity of the resveratrol in eluate obtained by column chromatography was measured to 15.2~18.1% and collect rate was up to 95%. Conclusion : From the above results, we have isolated resveratrol which is more pure than the conventional from grape extract and assumed that it is helpful to produce functional material at a low cost by using this isolation method.

A variety of genetically modified (GM) crops have been developed in Korea. In these crops, the resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice plant (Agb0102) has moved ahead to generate the dossier for regulatory review process required for commercialization of GM crop. The resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice plant could be released to farmers for cultivation after national regulators have determined that it is safe for the environment and human health. Here, we developed a PCR-based DNA marker based on flanking sequences of transgene for the discrimination of resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice plant. This DNA markers will be useful for identifying of resveratrol-enriched transgenic rice plant, and can also be used to estimate transgene movement occurred by pollen transfer or seed distribution. Moreover, it is helpful for prompt screening of a homozygote-transgenic progeny in the breeding program.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed is one of the major food sources for protein, oil, carbohydrates, isoflavones, and many other nutrients to humans and animals. Trans-resveratrol produced by plants is a polyphenol phytoalexin and displays a wide range of biological effects like as anti-cancer activities, cardio- protective properties, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, neuroprotective, antidiabetic and phytoestrogenic properties. Content of trans-resveratrol in soybean seed may depend on genotype and environment. Genotype with high trans-resveratrol content is valuable in breeding project. One hundred eighty three soybean genotypes were cultivated in the field. After harvesting, trans-resveratrol content was analyzed. Content (ug/g) of trans-resveratrol was from 0.199 to 5.447. Thirty genotypes with high trans-resveratrol content were selected.

Resveratrol rice Iksan526 was developed by overexpession of T-DNA (RB::P-Ubi::RS::T-NOS::P-35S::PAT::T-35S::LB) in rice variety Dongjin. To confirm one locus insertion of T-DNAs, Mendelian genetic analysis was carried out on selection marker bar gene and objective RS gene separately by using a F2 population derived from a cross of Dongjin/Iksan526 (T6). A total of 450 four-leaf-old plants from F2 population were treated by 0.3% basta, and a phenotypic separation ratio of 3:1 (321 survival: 129 dead, p>0.90) complied with Mendelian inheritance indicating one locus insertion of bar gene. Genotypic separation was analyzed by using PCR with specific primers for 300 plants, which were selected from 321 survival plants after phenotypic separation. Results revealed a ratio 1:2 of homologous to heterozygous (92:208, p>0.90), which further confirmed one locus insertion of RS gene. In addition, comparison on agronomic traits and resveratrol contents between transgenic rice and the donor variety were launched to evaluate the phenotypic performance over multi-generations (years).

This study investigated the nutrients and anti-nutrients of produced resveratrol GM rice (Iksan-515, Iksan-526, Dongjin) that were cultivated Iksan and Suwon regions. Among the rice samples, Iksan-515 and Iksan-526 are produced resveratrol GM rice. Reveratrol is health-beneficial compound with strong antioxidant and antitumor activities. Red wine is believed to the main source of resveratrol in the human diet. Recent studies have associated resveratrol with the cardio-protective effect observed among people with moderate resveratrol consumption. Moreover, resveratrol has been possess chemoprotective activity. In present study, we determined the substantial equivalence between GM rice and seedling sort. We investigated the nutrients and anti-nutrients of produced resveratrol GM rice and analyzed nutrients including moisture, crude fat, ash, crude protein, fatty acids, amino acids and minerals. The results of this analysis showed equivalence between GM rice and non-GM rice. We determined phenolic compounds including naringenin, vallin and investigated 4 tocopherols (α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocopherol) and 4 tocotrienols (α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocotrienol). Among the all rice cultivars, they showed substancial equivalence between resveratrol GM rices and non-GM rice.

Among the all samples, β-tocotrienol showed higher average concentrations (101.3 ㎍ g-1) than other compounds and, γ-tocotrienol revealed second higher concentration (94.5 ㎍ g-1). On the other hand, δ-tocopherol was not detected in all rice samples.

뽕 품종의 육종 효율을 높이는 동시에 뽕잎의 기능성 및 이용성을 증대시키기 위해 품종별 채취시기별로 뽕잎을 채취하여 기능성물질인 레스베라트롤 함량을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 오디에 비해 상당히 낮은 함량을 나타냈으나 레스베라트롤의 주요 공급원으로 알려진 포도 품종과 비교했을 때에는 추기의 뽕잎은 오히려 평균 함량이 4배 높았다. 채취시기별 뽕잎의 평균 레스베라트롤 함량에 있어서는 추기의 뽕잎이 춘기보다 함량이 높았으며, 춘기의 뽕잎은 어린잎보다 성숙잎의 레스베라트롤 함량이 높았다. 즉 춘기 5개엽기 어린잎의 평균 레스베라트롤 함량은 102ug/100g 이었으며 뽕잎의 성숙시기가 경과함에 따라 165, 209, 359ug/100g 으로 증가하였다. 하벌 후 새로 자란 뽕잎을 8윌 중순에 채취한 것은 466ug/100g 이었으며, 10월 중순의 뽕잎은 483ug/100g 이었다. 특히 10월 중순에 채취한 뽕잎은 엽질이 매우 거칠기 때문에 직접 식용으로의 이용 가능성은 매우 적으나 '개량뽕', '수계뽕' 및 '청일뽕' 품종의 경우 뽕잎의 레스베라트롤 함량이 각각 838ug/100g , 803ug/100g , 800ug/100g 으로 매우 높으므로 기능성 화장품 등에 첨가하여 사용하기 위한 레스베라트롤 추출물 등을 위한 시료로서 이용한다면 그 활용 가능성은 매우 클 것으로 판단하였다. 또한 '신일뽕', '수성뽕' 및 '상일뽕'의 레스베라트롤 함량도 각각 794ug/100g , 606ug/100g , 583ug/100g 으로 높았다. '청일뽕' 품종의 뽕잎에 대한 수확 후 관리방법에 따른 레스베라트롤의 함량을 분석한 결과 뽕잎 채취 후 -70℃ 에서 냉동, 동결건조하는 방법보다는 수세 후 바로 실온에서 음건하는 경우 뽕잎의 레스베라트롤 함량이 높았다.

땅콩나물을 기능성 식품 소재로 사용하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 발아율, 레스베라트롤 함량 및 영양성분을 분석하였다. 원산지별 땅콩 종자의 발아율은 다른 원산지 땅콩 보다 경북산 땅콩의 발아율이 가장 높았다. 레스베라트롤 함량은 땅콩보다 땅콩나물이 높았으며, 특히 경북산 땅콩나물에서 그 함량이 으로 가장 높았다. 한편 경북산 땅콩나물의 부위(잎, 뿌리 및 줄기)별 레스베라트롤 함량을 측정한 결과 잎에서 그 함량이 으로 가장 높았고, 다

Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in grapes, grape products such as wine, and some other botanical sources, like peanuts. In grapes, resveratrol occurs both as free resveratrol and piceid, which is 3-β-mono-D-glucoside of resveratrol. In recent years, research on resveratrol has discovered several beneficial biological effects of this compound to human health. These include anticancer activity, cardioprotection, antioxidant activity, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and antiinflammatory activity. So, we conducted this study to develop transgenic rice plants an enhanced phytochemicals associated with reduced cancer risk by overexpression of a peanut RS gene and selected 2 lines, 'Iksan 515' and 'Iksan 526', according to agronomic traits of rice plant and resveratrol contents in rice grain. Resveratrol content of Iksan 515 was increased by 2.3 times until 5 days after seedling and decreased at 7 days after seedling. Expression level of RS gene according to seedling days by Real-time PCR increased until 5 days, but decreased by half at 7 days. Now, we are planning to analyze medicinal function of these high resveratrol rices and development of cultivation technology to increase resveratrol content. Therefore, transgenic rices producing high resveratrol can be used to develop new rices with a cancer chemopreventive role in human medicine.
