Purpose: To understand the pathogenesis of the disease that presents abnormally proliferated vascular endothelial cells, a model of DMH(1,2-dimethylhydrazine)-induced abnormal proliferation of HUVECs(Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells) was made. We indirectly determined that Protein Kinase C(PKC) restricts the cellular proliferation and inhibits the manifestation of growth factor by using several inhibiting substances of the transmitter through our previous studies. Thereupon, we attempted to observe direct enzymatic activities of PKC and its correlation with the abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells. Methods: $10^5$ HUVECs cells were applied to 6 individual well plates in three different groups; A control group cultured without treatment, a group concentrated with $0.75{\times}10^{-8}M$ DMH only, and a group treated with DMH & $5{\times}10^{-9}M$ Calphostin C, inhibitor of PKC. In analyzing the formation of intracellular PKC enzyme, protein separation was performed, and separated protein was quantitatively measured. PKC enzyme reaction was analyzed through Protein Kinase C Assay System (Promega, USA), and the results were analyzed according to Beer's law. Results: Enzymatic activity of PKC presented the highest in all reaction time of a group concentrated only with DMH, and the lowest in the control group. The group treated with DMH and the inhibitor revealed statistically lower enzymatic activity than group only with DMH in all reaction time, although higher than the control group. Conclusion: From the enzymatic aspect, most active and immediate reaction of the PKC was observed in the group concentrated with DMH only. The group treated with DMH & PKC inhibitor showed meaningful decrease. Accordingly, PKC holds a significant role in DMH-induced abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.

실크단백질 식이공급이 동물대장암에 미치는 효과를 알아본 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 동물 대장암에 투여한 식이공급용 선발 실크단백질의 피브로인 및 세리신 단백질은 각각 Mw 65,000 내외의 피브로인 및 Mw 100,000만 내외의 세리신 단백질이며, 동물사료의 경우, 섭식 등 물성 등이 작년대비 개선된 3% 첨가된 전용 사료를 조제하여 섭식하도록 하였다. 2. 1,2-DMH에 의한 동물 대장암 유발(1회/1주, 4회 주사)후 6주 시료 투여에 있어서 대장암 유발군(CA)의 경우, 체중변화 및 식이 섭취량의 관계인 식이효율은 세리신 섭취군(S)의 경우 정상군(C)의 85% 수준을 나타내었다. 3. 동물대장암 조직의 조직관찰에 있어서는 대장암 조직의 COX-2 발현을 염색한 결과, 대장암 유도군(CA)의 경우 확실한 COX-2에 의한 발현을 나타내었으며, 세리신 섭취군(S)의 경우는 그 정도가 미비함을 나타내어 대장암에 효과가 있음을 나타내었다. 4. 대장암 인자변화를 정량적으로 확인한 결과, 정상군(C)에 비하여 대장암 유발군(CA)은 확실한 7배 정도의 COX-2량이 확인되었으며, 세리신 섭취군(S)의 경우는 유발군(CA) 대비 1/2 이하 수준으로 줄어듬을 확인할 수 있어서 금후 대장 질환 관련 소재 개발 가능성을 나타내었다.

High temperature- and pressure-treated garlic (HTPG) has been shown to have enhanced antioxidative activity and polyphenol contents. Previously, we reported that HTPG inhibited 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced mucin depleted foci (premalignant lesions) and $O^6$-methylguanine DNA adduct formation in the rat colorectum. In the present study, we investigated the modifying effects of HTPG on N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG)-induced pyloric stomach and small intestinal carcinogenesis in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were given ENNG (100 mg/l) in drinking water for the first 4 weeks, then a basal diet or diet containing 2% or 5% HTPG for 30 weeks. The incidence and multiplicity of pyloric stomach and small intestinal (duodenal and jejunal) tumors in the 2% HTPG group (but not in the 5% HTPG group) were significantly lower than those in the control group. Cell proliferation of normal-appearing duodenal mucosa was assessed by MIB-5 immunohistochemistry and shown to be significantly lower with 2% HTPG (but again not 5% HTPG) than in controls. These results in dicate that HTPG, at 2% in the diet, inhibited ENNG-induced pyloric stomach and small intestinal (especially duodenal) tumorigenesis in mice, associated with suppression of cell proliferation.

Purpose: DMH(1,2-dimethylhydrazine) has been known to induce vascular neoplasm such as malignant endothelioma in animal experiment, through induction of abnormal proliferation of HUVECs. In our previous studies, 11 types of PKC isoenzymes were determined by RT-PCR and the expression of $PKC{\alpha}$, and ${\mu}$ was more prominent than other PKC isoenzymes in the DMH-treated group. However, this result was not based on objective assessment. In this study, we further evaluated the role of $PKC{\alpha}$ on the DMH-induced abnormal proliferation of HUVECs by two different methods to identify its presence with high relevance in objective view. $PKC{\mu}$ will be investigated in further study. Methods: The study was conducted with the cultured HUVECs group(control) and the $0.75{\times}10^{-9}M$ DMH-treated group. After processing protein extraction in 0 and 24 hour, extracted protein was treated of quantitative test through BCA protein assay. In the western blot analysis, electrophoresis was performed in the order of gel preparation, sample preparation, and gel running. Electrotransfer to nitrocellulose membrane and reaction with antibody were done. Detection of $PKC{\alpha}$ was achieved through "Gel Image Analysis System". In the fluorescence immunocytochemical analysis, the grading of radiance of the intracellular $PKC{\alpha}$ particles was detected with confocal microscope after treating with primary and fluorescent secondary antibody in 0 and 24 hours. Results: The Western blot analysis showed increased $PKC{\alpha}$ expression from the specimen obtained in 24 hour of the DMH treatment group when compared to those in control group. Under confocal fluorescence microscope, the emitting radiance in the DMH treated group was brighter at 24 hours as well. Conclusion: We believe that $PKC{\alpha}$ plays a role in DMH-induced abnormal proliferation of the vascular endothelium, which may provide insights in understanding the vascular neoplasm.

오만둥이는 우리나라의 전통적인 수산식품으로써 찜 또는 찌개류로 조리하여 널리 이용하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 오만둥이의 기능성 소재로서의 기능적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 오만둥이 추출물의 항산화 활성 및 항유전독성 활성을 in vitro 방법으로 측정하였다. 또한 대장암에 대한 예방효과를 알아보기 위하여 DMH로 대장암을 유발한 SD 쥐를 이용하여 오만둥이를 경구투여한 후 DNA 손상 및 ACF 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 그 결과 총항산화능은 모든 추출물에서 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 동결건조 한 추출물에서는 메탄올, 에탄올(0.225, 0.219 mM) > 물(0.179 mM) > 아세톤(0.150 mM) 순으로 나타났으며, 신선한 오만둥이에서는 메탄올 추출물(0.215 mM)이 가장 높은 항산화력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. Comet assay에서는 모든 추출물이 $H_2O_2$에 의한 산화적 스트레스에 대항한 DNA 손상억제력을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 동결건조 한 오만둥이에서 메탄올 추출물의 억제력이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 백혈구의 DNA 손상정도는 대조군에 비해 DMH 투여군에서 유의적으로 손상정도가 증가한 반면, DMH+S. placata군에서는 DMH를 주입한 군에 비하여 손상정도가 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한 ACF의 생성수치가 DMH군에 비하여 DMH+S. placata군에서 유의적으로 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 오만둥이는 in vitro 뿐만 아니라 대장암을 유발한 쥐에서도 항산화 및 항암효과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 오만둥이가 대장암을 예방하기 위한 기능성식품 소재로서 가능성을 보여 주었다.
