This study aimed to analyze crude protein, amino acid and bioactive changes in Phellinus linteus HN00K9 cultured oat. The crude protein content of P. linteus cultured oat (PCO) was 12.9%, which was higher than that of uncultured oats (UCO) as control at 11.26%. The total free amino acid contents of PCO and UCO were 11,4 mg/100 g and 9,686.205 mg/100 g, respectively. Glutamic acid accounted for 21% of the total amino acids of PCO, and the histidine content was increased by more than 51% in PCO compared to UCO. The total polyphenol content of PCO was 275 mg GAE/g, which was more than twice that of UCO (135 mg). The DPPH radical scavenging activity was 15.5% in PCO, which was more than five times that of UCO (3.5%). The β-glucan content of PCO was 12.5 g/100 g, which was more than five times that of UCO (3.2 g/100 g). Therefore, it is believed that PCO can be utilized as a material for various functional foods.

In this study, the protein content and functional changes in soybeans cultured with Phellinus linteus HN00K9 were analyzed. P. linteus HN00K9 was cultured on soybeans. The crude protein content in soybeans cultured with HN00K9 (PMS) was 41.99%, which was higher than that in soybeans not cultured with the mushroom (UCS). The total free amino acid content in PMS increased to 39,963 mg/100 g, which was higher than that in UCS (36,817 mg/100 g). In particular, in PMS, glutamic acid accounted for 18.5% of the total amino acids at 7,413 mg/100 g. The total polyphenol content in PMS was 2.66 mg GAE/g, which was more than 45% higher than the amount in UCS (1.45 mg GAE/g). Additionally, PMS showed a DPPH radical scavenging activity of 33.3%, which was 3 times higher than that exhibited by UCS (11.5%), reflecting its high antioxidant content. Therefore, the PMS in this study has potential for use as a functional food material.

Fluorescent probe were used to evaluate the effects of catechin on the structural parameters (annular lipid fluidity, transbilayer lateral and rotational mobility and protein clustering) of the Porphyromonas gingivalis outer membrane (OPGs). An experimental procedure was used on the basis of selective quenching of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) by trinitrophenyl groups and radiationless energy transfer from the tryptophans of membrane proteins to Py-3-Py and DPH. Catechin increased the bulk lateral and rotational mobility, annular lipid fluidity of OPGs lipid bilayers, and had greater fluidizing efficacy on the outer monolayer than the inner monolayer. It also caused membrane proteins to cluster. Based on these effects of catechin on OPGs, the antibacterial and antiviral actions of catechin can be partially explained.

Because Cnidium officinale is susceptible to viral infection, this study investigated the proportion of virus elimination and plant growth after treatments with thermotherapy and chemotherapy. In the thermotherapy group, Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and Cnidium vein yellowing virus–2 (CnVYV-2) were significantly reduced in 33℃ treatment. However, Cnidium vein yellowing virus–1 (CnVYV-1) was not affected by any of the four temperature treatments, and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) did not show the tendency to eliminate viruses according to temperature treatment. In the investigation of in vitro growth characteristics, plants were not significantly affected by temperature treatments. In the chemotherapy group, 40 mg･L-1 ribavirin treatment was the most effective in eliminating viruses. Different ribavirin concentrations (0 to 40 mg･L-1) did not significantly influence the in vitro plant survival rate. ASGV was completely eliminated with combined thermotherapy and chemotherapy (T29R20 and T29R40). Although the combined thermotherapy and chemotherapy treatment did not affect in vitro plant growth, it significantly influenced root development. The results indicate that thermotherapy, chemotherapy, and the combined treatment effectively eliminated these four viruses (ASGV, CnVYV-1, CnVYV-2, and CMV) without producing any major problems in C. officinale.

Cordyceps militaris, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, has multiple health-promoting effects. It is used as a herbal remedy and health food in Asian countries. Cultured mycelia are often used as a substitute for natural C. militaris. In the present study, the mycelia and fruiting bodies of artificially cultured C. militaris were analyzed using a metabolomics approach. The protein and crude fat contents of the mycelia were substantially higher than those of the fruiting bodies. The top three abundant amino acids in the mycelia were proline (3.9 g/100 g), aspartic acid (2.9 g/100 g), and glutamic acid (2.7 g/100 g). The carbohydrate content was similar in the fruiting bodies and mycelia. Analysis revealed that both the fruiting bodies and mycelia are rich in phenolic compounds and exhibit antioxidant activity. Further, six metabolites were significantly different between the mycelia and fruiting bodies. The levels of Ca, glucose, Mg, and Se were higher in the mycelia than in the fruiting bodies. In contrast, mannitol and Zn were more abundant in the fruiting bodies. The current study provides a comprehensive metabolic profile of the mycelia and fruiting bodies of artificially cultured C. militaris. Such an exercise is potentially important for understanding the metabolism of C. militaris and facilitating the use of cultured mycelia as a supplement to C. militaris fruiting bodies in traditional Chinese medicine.

시설재배지를 대상으로 고추 정식 이후 황색 끈끈이트랩으로 총채벌레 발생을 모니터링하였다. 아울러 토마토반점위조바이러스(Tomato spotted wilt virus: TSWV)가 유발하는 고추 칼라병을 유관으로 조사하였다. 고추 정식 직후(3월 말) 낮은 밀도로 대만총채벌레(Frankliniella intonsa)가 트랩에 포획되었으며 4월 중순부터는 꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis)도 발견되었다. 이후 5월부터는 두 종이 전체 총채 벌레의 98% 이상을 차지하였고, 이 가운데 대만총채벌레가 꽃노랑총채벌레보다 다소 많은 발생 밀도를 보였다. 전체 총채벌레의 발생 피크를 보면 5월 중순에 낮은 피크를 기점으로 6-7월에 발생 최성기를 보였다. 이후 총채벌레의 발생은 급격하게 감소하였다. 포획된 꽃노랑총채벌레의 암수 비율이 일정하지 않았는데 이는 이 곤충의 특이적 단성생식 가능성으로 이에 대한 실험적 증거를 제공하였다. 지역간 꽃노랑총채벌레의 유전적 거리를 COI 서열로 비교한 결과 원거리에서 채집한 꽃노랑총채벌레 집단과는 차이를 보였지만 안동지역 내에서 발생한 꽃노랑총채벌레는 COI 서열에서 높은 유사성을 보였다. 이들 주요 두 종의 총채벌레가 전파할 것으로 추정되는 고추 칼라병이 일부 시설재배지를 중심으로 발견되었으며 항혈청 및 분자진단을 통해 확인되었다. 더불어 감염 고추에서 채집된 꽃노랑총채벌레에서도 분자진단을 통해 TSWV를 검출하였다. 감 염 TSWV의 게놈 구조를 비교하기 위해 기능성 단백질을 갖는 NSS, N, NSM의 유전자 서열을 분석하였다. 서로 다른 지역별 이들 유전자는 다수의 점돌연변이가 존재하였고 이들 가운데는 아미노산 서열 차이를 초래하는 오류 돌연변이를 포함하였다. 추출된 TSWV를 비보독충 꽃노랑 총채벌레에 섭식 처리한 유충과 성충 모두에서 감염으로 일어났으나, 유충에게서만 바이러스 증식이 일어나는 것을 확인하였다.

Centella asiatica (CA) has been used as a nutritional plant as well as a traditional herbal medicine around the world. This study, quality component (proximate composition, total polyphenol, and triterpenoid compound), and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of CA dried using various methods were investigated. Proximate compositions of CA with different drying methods included a large amount of carbohydrates, crude protein, crude ash, and crude fiber. Among the drying methods, cold drying provided the highest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, while hot-air drying at 75℃ provided the lowest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. In addition, when the major triterpenoid compounds of CA were analyzed, the highest content of asiaticoside of triterpenoid glycoside was obtained with all drying methods. With respect to the total triterpenoid, the highest content was obtained with cold drying (68.8 mg/g) whereas natural drying (31.4 mg/g) provided the lowest content. In anti-inflammatory activity of LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, EtOH extract of cold drying showed a significantly higher inhibitory activity in comparison to the other drying methods. In conclusion, it is considered that the cold drying method is suitable for industrial preparation of functional materials with high physiological ingredients, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities from CA.

Centella asiatica (CA) has been widely used as herbal plants. It is a valuable resources. The aim of the present study was to evaluate physiological activities of solvent extracts from CA cultivated in Chungju, Korea (Good tiger care). After preparing water (cold-water, CA-WE; hot-water, CA-HWE) and EtOH extracts (50% EtOH, CA-50E; 70% EtOH, CA-70E), their total polyphenol, flavonoid, and triterpenoid contents, and anti-oxidant activities, and anti-inflammatory activities were examined and compared. CA-70E showed the most potent anti-oxidant activity based on ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing ability assays, while CA-50E and CA-70E showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. Among major triterpenoid glycosides present in CA, madecassoside and asiaticoside contents were found to be the highest in CA-70E, and madecassic acid and asiatic acid were the highest in CA-50E. In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, CA-70E showed the highest TNF-α inhibitory activity, although CA-50E and CA-70E similarly inhibited nitric oxide production. Ethanol extracts significantly inhibited IL-6 and IL-8 production more than water extracts using TNF-α/IFN-γ-stimulated HaCaT cells, indicating its better inhibitory against skin inflammation. Therefore, Chungju-CA EtOH extract, especially 70% EtOH extract, has high physiologically active ingredients and potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, suggesting its industrial application as a functional material.

본 연구에서는 2018년 충남지역에서 생산, 출하되는 수산물에 대해 잔류동물용의약품 실태를 조사하였다. 수산물 115건을 대상으로 식품공전 수산물 중 동물용의약품 동시 다성분 시험법으로 분석이 가능한 29종의 잔류동물 용의약품을 분석하였다. 115건의 수산물 중 9건에서 6종의 잔류동물용의약품이 검출되었으며, 검출률은 7.8%이었다. 검출된 잔류동물용의약품은 옥소린산, 엔로플록사신이 가장 많이 검출되었으며 시프로플록사신, 설파디아진, 플루메퀸, 옥시테트라사이클린이 각각 검출되었다. 미꾸라지 검체 1건에서 엔로플록사신이 잔류기준을 초과하였으나 전체적으로 안전한 수준으로 평가되었다. 그렇지만 잔류 동물용의약품 검출률이 높아지는 추세이고 종류 또한 다양해지고 있어 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다.

Changes of gonadal morphology and mRNA expression patterns of vitellogenin were investigated in Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii (Chondrostei) during its early gonadal maturation period. Early differentiations and morphological transitions of both ovaries and testes appeared to occur actively until the age of 3 years, however from then on, the maturation patterns to full maturity were largely gender-dependent, in which males showed a faster progression of maturation than did females while females experienced a steady-state progress with a lagged interval before entering the final maturation. Expression of vitellogenin mRNAs are closely correlated with transitional patterns of gonadal appearances. In both females and males, hepatic mRNA levels of vitellogenin exponentially increased in the earliest interval (up to 1-year-old). However, in subsequent periods, vitellogenin expression in females continued to increase with age, whereas in males, the expression stabilized at a younger age. Nevertheless, at the age older than or equal to 7-year-old, fully matured individuals showed a quite low level of vitellogenin expression in both females and males. Collectively, results from this study could be useful as a fundamental guideline to address the gonad maturation of this sturgeon species, which is helpful for making practical decisions about farming practices and management for caviar production on local sturgeon farms.

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that aid in the protection of the host from infectious diseases and cancer. Regulation of cytotoxicity in NK cells is mediated by inhibitory receptors that bind major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules on target cells. Human myelogenous leukemia K562 cells are readily attacked by NK cells, because K562 cells expressed very low levels of MHC-I molecules for inhibitory NK cell receptors. In this study, we compared the ability of γ-irradiated- or mitomycin C (MMC)-treated K562 feeder cells to support expansion and activation of canine NK cells. We isolated CD5 negative cells from canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells by immunomagnetic separation and co-cultured with γ-irradiated (100 Gy)- or MMC (20 μg/mL)-treated K562 cells in the presence of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-15 and IL-21 for 21 days. As a result, number of CD5 negative cells, co-cultured with γ-irradiated- or MMC-treated K562 cells (56.72 ± 13.77 fold or 32.99 ± 10.83 fold), was increased than those of CD5 negetive cells (2.99 ± 1.42 fold). Also, we found that gene expression markers of activated NK cells such as NKp30, NKp44, NKp46, Ly49, NKG2D, CD244, perforin, and granzyme B and production of interferon gamma were similarly upregulated in NK cells co-cultured with γ-irradiated- or MMC-treated K562 cells, respectively. Next, we observed that cytotoxicity of NK cells co-cultured with γ-irradiated K562 cells was more sensitively reacted to canine mammary carcinoma cells than those of MMC-treated K562 cells. These results revealed that γ-irradiated K562 cells are more efficient feeder cells than MMC-treated K562 cells for enhancing NK cells expansion and activation.

Although aronia (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott) contains higher levels of polyphenols and more antioxidant activity than other berries, it is a berry that is difficult to eat raw due to its strong astringent taste and lack of sweetness. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effect of tannin reduction of aronia by bioconversion method using mushroom mycelia cultures. Aronia and liquid cultures of Lentinula edodes and Phellinus linteus mycelia were mixed and then treated for 48 hours at 60°C. Tannin content, total polyphenol, total flavonoid and antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS radical-scavenging activities and FRAP activities) were investigated. The tannin content decreased from 64.2 mg ECE/g to 57.9 mg ECE/g (9.8% reduction) when treated with liquid culture of L. edodes and from 77.3 mg ECE/g to 47.9 mg ECE/g (38.1% reduction) from treatment with a liquid culture of P. linteus. Therefore treatment with mushroom mycelia culture solution may improve the palatability of aronia reducing the astringent taste.
