In this paper, we investigate to determine quality characteristics, fatty acid composition and cytotoxic effect of extracts and fractions from whole Lycopus lucidus Turcz. roots. Additionally, we evaluated cytotoxic activity against the growth of human fibrosarcoma cells (HT-1080) and human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS), human colon cancer cell (HT-29) lines using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Acetone+methylene chloride (A+M) and methanol (MeOH) extracts from L. lucidus Turcz. were obtained through solvent extraction. Then we further fractionated both extracts with n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-butanol (n-BuOH) and water. In fatty acid composition, L. lucidus Turcz. contained 33.2% of 18:1n-9 and 1.81% of 18:3n-3, respectively. The incorporation of treatment with A+M and MeOH extracts and n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-butanol (n-BuOH) and water fractions dose-dependently increased cytotoxicity against the growth of HT-1080 and AGS, HT-29 cancer cells (p<0.05). The A+M extract had a higher inhibitory effect on the growth of all cancer cells in comparison to MeOH extract. Among the fractions, the 85% aq. MeOH and n-hexane fractions showed a higher inhibitory effect after proliferating the three cancer cells. These results suggest that the 85% aq. MeOH and n-hexane fractions have a potential to inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to experiment the antitumor activity of Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) in human stomach cancer (AGS) cell lines (in vitro) and male C57BL/6J mouse (in vivo). Methods : The effects of the ethanol extract from the plant on several transplantable rodent tumors were investigated in vitro by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxy phenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt (MTS) assay. DNA content analysis and Western blot analysis. Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) was given to rats with Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) cells. The experimental rats were divided into 3 groups in vivo. Saline was injected into the abdominal cavity in the first group, 50 mg/kg APL was injected into the abdominal cavity in the second group and 100 mg/kg was injected into the abdominal cavity in the third group. After that, we checked their tumor volume periodically. Results : At first, human gastric cancer (AGS) cell lines (in vitro) showed decreased cell viability, and increased $sub-G_1$ contents. When we experimented rat intestinal epithelial (RIE)l as same condition, this result didn't show. With this, compared to normal cells, Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) led selectively to the extinction of cells only in human gastric cancer. Moreover, we showed that the traditional herbal medicine APL induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in AGS cells. Next, APL inhibited the growth of LLC-bearing mouse tumor. However, we could not verify APL induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in LLC-bearing mouse tumor. Conclusions : The roots of Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) contain some antitumor constituents.

본 연구에서는 염생식물의 한 종인 염주괴불주머니의 조추출물 및 용매별 분획물을 이용하여 생리활성물질에 의한 항발암성 물질의 생성 및 생체방어물질로서의 유용성을 검토하고자 5종의 인체암세포 (AGS, HT1080, U-937, MCF-7 및 HT-29)에 대한 증식 억제효과를 검토하였다. 조추출물에 대한 암세포 증식 억제능 측정 결과, 10, 50 및 100 ${\mu}g/ml$의 시료 처리 농도에서 농도 의존적으로 암세포의 생존율이 감소하는 경향을 확인하였으며, 모든 세포주에 대하여 methanol 조추출물 보다 methylene chloride 조추출물이 뛰어난 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 물질의 극성에 따른 암세포 성장 억제능을 관찰하고자 조추출물을 순차적으로 용매 분획하여 $H_2O$, n-BuOH, 85% aq. MeOH 및 n-hexane의 네 가지 분획층을 얻었으며, 조추출물과 동일한 조건하에서 암세포 증식 억제능을 재검토하였다. 그 결과, n-BuOH 분획층보다 85% aq. MeOH 분획층에서 우수한 암세포 성장 억제능이 확인되어, 이는 비교적 비극성인 methylene chloride 조추출물로부터 활성성분들이 85% aq. MeOH 분획층으로 이동된 것으로 여겨졌다. 특히 100 ${\mu}g/ml$의 85% aq. MeOH 분획층의 시료를 처리한 AGS 인체 위암세포는 93.4%라는 강력한 효력을 기록하였으며, 그 외에도 HT1080 인체 섬유육종 세포가 85.0%, U-937 인체 구성 림프종 세포 71.5%, MCF-7 인체 유방암세포와 HT-29 인체 결장암세포가 각각 51.7% 및 36.8%의 암세포 증식 억제효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터 해양생물 중 염생식물의 한 종류인 염주괴불주머니의 높은 항암활성효과와 함께 암예방 기능성 소재로써의 개발 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 염주괴불주머니의 85% aq. MeOH 분획층에 대한 집중적인 연구를 통해 새로운 생리활성물질의 개발이 기대된다.

Memory CD8+ T cells in the immune system are responsible for the removal of external Ags for a long period of time to protect against re-infection. Naïve to memory CD8+ T cell differentiation and memory CD8+ T cell maintenance require many different factors including local environmental factors. Thus, it has been suggested that the migration of memory CD8+ T cells into specific microenvironments alters their longevity and functions. In this review, we have summarized the subsets of memory CD8+ T cells based on their migratory capacities and described the niche hypothesis for their survival. In addition, the basic roles of CCR7 in conjunction with the migration of memory CD8+ T cells and recent understandings of their survival niches have been introduced. Finally, the applications of altering CCR7 signaling have been discussed.

저온 진공 공정으로 건조된 비트를 유기용매로 추출하여 이들 비트 추출물 및 분획물들에 의한 인체 결장암 및 위암세포에 대한 증식 및 세포 내 활성산소종 억제 효과에 대해 검토하였다. 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)의 경우, A+M 추출물은 0.5 mg/mL 첨가농도에서 65%의 암세포 증식 억제효과를 나타내었고(p<0.05), MeOH 추출물은 A+M 추출물과 비교하였을 때 전반적으로 낮은 활성을 나타내었음을 관찰하였다. 건조 비트 추출물을 hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, BuOH, water로 다시 추출하여 얻어진 각각의 분획물들을 농도별로 처리하였을 때 특히 hexane 및 85% aq. MeOH 분획물은 낮은 농도에서부터 활성을 나타내어 0.5 mg/mL 농도에서 76% 이상의 높은 암세포 증식 억제효과(p<0.05)를 나타내었다. 인체 위암세포(AGS)에 대한 결과에서 A+M 추출물은 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)의 결과와 비교했을 때 암세포증식 억제효과가 높았고, MeOH 추출물은 A+M 추출물에 비해 낮은 활성을 나타내었으나 앞서 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)에 비해 다소 높은 암세포 성장 억제효과를 보였다. 건조 비트 추출물의 분획물들을 농도별로 인체 위암세포(AGS)에 처리했을 때 hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물은 앞서의 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)의 결과와 유사하게 낮은 농도에서부터 활성이 나타나 0.25 mg/mL 이상의 농도에서 77% 이상의 억제효과가 나타났다. 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080) 내 활성산소종 억제 실험에서 건조 비트 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 측정시간 120분 동안 $500{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$만을 처리한 control군에 비해 세포 내 활성산소종을 크게 억제시켰다. 건조 비트 분획물들을 인체 섬유육종세포(HT1080)에 처리했을 때 첨가농도 0.1 mg/mL로 처리하였을 때 BuOH 분획물을 제외한 기타 분획물들의 경우 control군보다는 낮은 수치를 나타내어 우수한 항산화 활성을 보였다. 첨가농도 0.25 mg/mL에서 85% aq. MeOH 분획물은 세포 내 활성산소종을 감소시키는데 우수한 능력을 나타내었고 hexane과 BuOH 분획물은 $500{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$만을 처리한 control군에 비해서는 활성산소종을 감소시켰으나 blank 군보다는 높았다. 따라서 세포 내 활성산소종 감소에 의한 항산화 활성은 85% aq. MeOH 분획물에서 높았고 water 분획물의 효과가 가장 낮았음을 살펴 볼 수가 있었다.

The anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of probiotic Lactococcus lactis NK34 were demonstrated. Treatment of cancer cells such as SK-MES-1, DLD-1, HT-29, LoVo, AGS, and MCF-7 cells with 10⁶ CFU/well of L. lactis NK34 resulted in strong inhibition of proliferation (>77% cytotoxicity, p < 0.05). The anti-inflammatory activity of L. lactis NK34 was also demonstrated in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 cells, where the production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-18, and cyclooxygenase-2) was reduced. These results suggest that L. lactis NK34 could be used as a probiotic microorganism to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Effects of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) on cellular protein expression are essential for viral pathogenesis. To characterize the cellular response to EBV infection, differential proteomes of gastric epithelial AGS cells were analyzed with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) and liquid chromatography electrospray/ionization ion trap (LC-ESI-IT) mass spectrometry identification. Mass spectrometry identified 9 altered cellular proteins, including 5 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated proteins after EBV infection. Notably 2-DE analysis revealed that EBV infection induced increased expression of heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein, actin cytoplasmic 1, pyridoxine-5'-phosphate oxidase, caspase 9, and t-complex protein 1 subunit alpha. In addition, EBV infection considerably suppressed those cellular proteins of zinc finger protein 2, cyclin-dependent kinase 2, macrophage-capping protein, and growth/differentiation factor 11. Furthermore, the differential expressional levels of partial proteins (cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and caspase 9) were confirmed by Western blot analysis.Thus, this work effectively provided useful protein-related information to facilitate further investigation of the mechanisms underlying EBV infection and pathogenesis.

Raw meat of mackerel (Scomber japonicus) was salted by refined, sun-dried, bamboo, and KC1-added bamboo salts. Antimutagenic activity on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in Ames test and growth inhibitory effects of AGS human gastric and HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells were investigated using methanol extracts of the salted mackerels. Mackerel salted sun-dried, bamboo, and KC1-added bamboo salts used increased the antimutagenic activities against MNNG, however, the sample treated with refined salt reduced the antimutagenic activity. Inhibitory effects of the salted-mackerels on the growth of human cancer cells were increased as dose dependent pattern. Mackerel salted with refined salt activated the growth of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells, but mackerel salted with sun-dried, bamboo, and KC1-added bamboo salts kept or increased anticancer effect compared to the raw mackerel. Mackerel salted with KC1-added bamboo salt led to the highest antimutagenic and anticancer activities. These results suggest that antimutagenic and anticancer effects of mackerel during manufacturing of the salted-mackerel could be enhanced by using different kind of salts such as bamboo, or KC1-added bamboo salts.

본 연구에서는 다양한 약효가 있다고 알려진 애기땅빈대(Euphorbia supina)의 추출물 및 분획물의 지방산 조성을 분석하고 인체 암세포 증식 억제효과에 대하여 살펴보았다. A+M과 MeOH 추출물의 지방산 조성 패턴은 유사했고 A+M과 MeOH 추출물은 각각 53.4% 및 42.1%의 18:3n-3를 함유하였다. 분획물들 중 85% aq. MeOH는 가장 높은 함량의 18:3n-3를 나타내었다. 애기땅빈대에 의한 암세포 증식 억제효과는 MeOH 추출물과 비교했을 때 A+M 추출물에 의한 억제효과가 높았으며 AGS 인체 위암세포에 대한 억제효과가 높았다. 분획물들 중에서는 n-Hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물들에 의한 증식 억제효과가 높았다. 따라서 애기땅빈대의 항암 활성 성분은 n-Hexane과 85% aq. MeOH 분획물들에 함유되어 있는 것으로 여겨지며 향후 정제하여 규명할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.
