Studies on Antimutagenic Effects and Gene Repair of Enzymatic Browning Reaction Products

효소적 갈변반응 생성물의 돌연변이 억제효과 및 유전자 수복에 관한 연구

The biological activities of twelve different kinds of enzymatic browning reaction products(EBRP), which resulted from the reactants four kinds of polyphenols with polyphenol oxidase extracted from Ligularia fischeri, pimpinella brachycarpa and Aster scaber of edible mountain herbs. All of twelve samples did not show any mutagenic effect in the spore rec-assay, Ames mutagenicity test and DNA breaking test. However metal ions such as $Cu^{2+},\;Fe^{2+}$, and $Ni^{2+}$ were increased the DNA breakage in rec-assay. The EBRPs inhibited the mutagenicities induced by $benzo({\alpha})pyrene (B({\alpha})P)$, 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido-[4,3-b]indole(Trp-P-1) and 2-aminofluorene(2-AF) in Salmonella/microsome assay system with S-9 mix. In effects of EBRPs on the DNA repair system, the activity of EcoRI was highly inhibited and that of $T_{4}$ DNA ligase was inactivated by addition of EBRPs. The results of transformation ratio of plasmid pGA658 into E. coli HB 101 was significantly decreased by the reaction products of S. brachycarpa polyphenoloxidase (PPO). When UV light was exposed to the mixture of DNA and EBRP before the thanformation, the reaction products from L. fischeri PPO with pyrogallol, catechol and hydroxyhydroquinone stimulated transformation ratio.

곰취, 참취 그리고 참나물로부터 polyphenoloxidase를 추출하여 polyphenol 화합물인 pyrogallol, hydroxyhyd-roquinone, catechol 그리고 3,4-dihydroxytoluene과 반응시켜 얻어진 12종류의 효소갈변반응 생성물의 생리작용을 검토한 결과 시료 모두 rec-assay, 돌연변이원성 실험 그리고 DNA 절단실험에서 돌연병원성을 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 12종류의 시료 모두 S-9mix를 첨가한 Salmonella/microsomal 실험에서 $benzo({\alpha})pyrene(B({\alpha})P)$, 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido(4,3-b) indole(Trp-P-1) 그리고 2-aminofluorene(2-AF) 등 변이원 물질들을 강하게 억제시키는 활성을 나타내었다. DNA repair 실험에서 효소갈변반응 생성물의 E. coli HB101에 plasmid pGA658의 transformation 빈도수는 곰취 효소갈변반응 생성물의 첨가에 의해 높은 수치를 나타내었으며 transformation 전에 DNA와 효소갈변반응 생성물을 혼합하여 자외선을 조사하였을 때 곰취의 pyrogallol, catechol, hydroxyhydroquinone의 효소갈변반응 생성물은 높은 수치를 나타내었다.
