Abstract

Fermented soybean, Chungkookjang contains microorganism, enzyme, and diverse bioactive compounds. Isoflavones in Chungkookjang might suppress breast and prostate cancers. Using HPLC and Mass analyses, it was found that 100% ethanol extract of Chungkookjang contains aglycone forms such as genistein, daidzein, and glycitein. 8-OH-genistein, 8-OH-daidzein were not found. There are two estrogen receptors, $ER{\alpha},ER{\beta}$. $ER{\alpha}$ might stimulate proliferation of breast and prostate cancer cells, and $ER{\beta}$ might suppress their growth. Using yeast transactivation assay under the control of human ER expression, it was demonstrated that isoflavones in Chungkookjang can stimulate $ER{\beta}_{1}$, selectively.

청국장은 미생물, 효소, 다양한 생리활성물질을 포함하는 대두발효식품으로 정장, 핼액순환개선 효과 등이 알려져 있다. 청국장에 존재하는 isoflavone이 유방암, 전립선암의 억제와 관련이 있을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 HPLC와 Mass 분석을 통해 분말청국장 100% ethanol추출물에 aglycone 형태의genistein, daidzein, glyciten이 존재함을 확인했다. 당이 붙어 있는 genistin, daidzin, OH기가 추가적으로 붙어 있는 8-OH-genistein, 8-OH-daidzein은 존재하지 않았다. Estrogen 수용체에는 $ER{\alpha},ER{\beta}$가 있다. $ER{\alpha}$는 유방암, 전립선암의 촉진에, $ER{\beta}$는 이들 암의 억제와 관련이 있을 것으로 추정한다. 인간의 estrogen 수용체가 cloning되어 있는 효모의 전사촉진 assay를 이용하여, 청국장에 있는 isoflavone이 $ER{\beta}_{1}$를 선택적으로 자극할 수 있음을 확인했다.
