The present study was conducted to investigate the antimutagenic potential of the methanolic extract from the leaves of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas, IB) with the SOS chromotest (umu test) and Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100. The anticarcinogenic effects were also studied by calculation of the IC?? on human cancer cell lines and investigating the function of gap junction in rat liver epithelial cells. The IB extract inhibited dose-dependently the β-galactosidase activity induced spontaneously at concentration of more than 200 ㎎/㎖ in S. typhimurium TA 1535/pSK 1002, and decreased significantly (p ＜ 0.01) the β- galactosidase activities induced by mutagen 6-chloro-9-[3-(2-chloroethylamino)proylamino]-2-methoxyacridine dihydrochloride (ICR) at dose of more than 0.4 ㎎/0.1 ㎖. The IB extract showed no effect on the spontaneous reversions of S. typhimurium TA 98 and 100 but benzo(α)pyrene (BaP)-stimulated reversions were decreased dose-dependently (p ＜ 0.01) at the concentration of more than 100 ㎎/㎖. The IC?? value of stomach cancer cells was lower than that of normal rat liver epithelial cells, but the values of colon and uterine cancer cell lines were similar to those of normal rat liver epithelial cells. The transfer of dye through gap junctions was not affected by treatment of the IB extracts at any concentration during treatment periods. The simultaneously treatment of IB extract and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) effectively prevented the inhibition of dye transfer induced by TPA 1 hour after treatment at all exposed concentrations. The number of gap junctions was significantly (p ＜ 0.01) increased by the treatment with IB extract at concentrations of more than 40 ㎍/㎖. The inhibition of the expression of gap junction proteins by TPA (0.01 ㎍/㎖) was recovered dose dependently by the simultaneous treatment of IB extracts. Our data suggest that Ipomea batatas has antimutagenic and anticarcionogenic activity in vitro.
