Zinc is an essential trace element required for bone formation, however not much has been clarified yet for its role in osteoblast. We hypothesized that zinc would increase osteogenetic function in osteoblasts. To test this, we investigated whether zinc treatment enhances bone formation by stimulating osteoblast proliferation, bone marker protein alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen synthesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured and treated with various concentrations of zinc (0, 1, 3, 15, 25 uM) along with a normal osteogenic medium (OSM) as control for 1, 5, 10 days. As measured by MTT assay for mitochondrial metabolic activity, cell proliferation was stimulated even at low zinc treatment (1-3 ${\mu}M$) compared to OSM, and it was stimulated in a zinc concentration-dependent manner during 5 and 10 days, with the most pronounced effect at 15 and 25 uM Zn. Cellular (synthesized) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was increased in a zinc concentration-dependent manner, so did medium (secreted) ALP activity. Cellular collagen concentration was increased by zinc as time went by, therefore with the maximum zinc stimulatory effect in 10 days, and medium collagen concentration showed the same pattern even on 1 and 5 day. This zinc stimulatory effect of collagen synthesis was observed in cell matrix collagen staining. The study results imply that zinc can increase osteogenic effect by stimulating cell proliferation, ALP activity and collagen synthesis in osteoblastic cells.

Using the Korean red ginseng saponin, which is known to world-wide and thd effects of it have been investigated by many reserachers for years. Ginseng saponin, one of the major components of Korea ginseng root, has many various biologic effects, such as cytotoxic effect, tumorcidal activity, protein biosynthesis and membrane modifying effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of ginseng saponin on the alkaline phosphatase activity of ROS cells in culture. After ROS cells were seeded into a 96-well plate, 96-well plate cultured until confluence was obtained. To evaluate cytotoxic effect of total saponin in cultured ROS cells, the plates were added to each total saponin concentration (0-1mg/ml). After 48hr., cells were counted by stain with 0.2% trypan blue at randomly selected field microscopically. Also, to evaluate alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity of total saponin in cultured ROS cell, the plate was added to each total saponin concentration (0-1mg/ml) and ALP activity was assayed. To evaluate time-course of ALP activity, $31.25{\mu}g/ml$ of saponin added to 96-well plate. After culture of 6, 12, 24 and 48hr., ALP activity test was performed. To evaluate effect of cycloheximide in ALP activity, 96-well plate was added to saponin and cycloheximide. In control group, the plate was added saponin only. The results were as follows. 1. After the various concentration of total saponin was added in the medium, 500 and $1000{\mu}g/ml$ of total saponin showed cytotoxic effect of ROS(P<0.005). 2. In contrast to control group, 7.6, 15.6, 31.25, 62.5 and $250{\mu}g/ml$ of total saponin increased ALP activity significantly. 3. Otherwise, 500 and $1000{\mu}g/ml$ of total saponin decreased ALP activity significantly(P<0.005). 4. As the time span increases, $31.25{\mu}g/ml$ of total saponin increased ALP activity. 5. Cycloheximide decreased saponin-indueced ALP actitity in ROS(P<0.005). These results suggest that Ginseng total saponin stimulates the ALP activity of rat osteoblastic cells.

Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), latic dehydrgenase (LDH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were determined in 5 Korean native cattle to obtain the base line of blood enzyme activities in relation to the stage of gestation. Serum GOT activities showed an increasing tendency with the course of gestation period, serum LDH levels were within normal range through all the stage of pregnancy, and the slight increase in serum ALP activities was acknowledged at the 2nd and 3rd stage of gestation.

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to promote the regeneration of lost periodontal tissue, there have been many attempts to develop a method to achieve this goal, hut none of them was completely successful. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Bio-Oss(R) on alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity in human fetal osteoblasts (hFOB1). The results of this study were as follows, in ALP Activity, 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ Bio-Oss(R) treated group showed significantly increased value than negative control group, but positive group($10^{-7}$ M dexamethasone treated group) showed the highest ALP activity at 3 day. In mineralization assay, numerous mineralized nodules were identified as darkly stained spots in 100${\mu}g/ml$ Bio-Oss(R) treated group than two control groups, whereas a small number of mineralized nodules were showed in the positive control. ALP may relate to the initial phase of bone nodule formation. On the basis of these results, this study showed Bio-Oss(R) is capable of accelerating new bone formation through hFOBl differentiation in vitro.

Effects of restraint stress and its modulations by ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA) were evaluated on some biochemical and biophysical parameters in rats. Restraint stress induced elevations in blood alkaline phosphatase (ALP). cholesterol (CHOL), aspartate transaminase (GOT), alanine transaminase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. It was also caused adrenal hypertrophy, decrease in weight of spleen and contents of ascorbic acid in stressed rats. As a results, stress indicators such as spleen, ascorbic acid, GOT, GPT, LDH were fastly changed after imposing stress, but those such as ALP, CHOL, adrenal were induced relatively later. UDCA was tested if it has an inhibitory effect against 18-hr restraint induced stress. UDCA lowered ALP, CHOL, LDH level and also effectively elevated the ascorbic acid contents in 25 mg/kg dosage of UDCA. In organ weights. the restraint stress induced increases in spleen and adrenal were attenuated by UDCA in 50 mg/kg dosage. However. stress-induced GOT and GPT levels were unaffected by UDCA.

본 연구는 동결 건조한 krill (Euphausia superba) meal을 함량별 섭취시켰을 때 7주령된 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐의 혈청 중 alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aminotransferase (AST, ALT) 및 lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 등 혈청 간 기능 효소활성과 장기 조직의 불소 함량에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 기본식이를 급여한 대조군인 CG군을 비롯하여 10%, 20%, 30%의 krill meal을 첨가한 급여군을 각각 KM10군, KM20군, KM30군으로 구분하여 4군의 급여군으로 나누어 5주간 실험 사육한 결과는 다음과 같다. 혈청 중 alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aminotransferase (AST, ALT) 및 lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)의 효소 활성은 대조군인 CG군 보다 krill meal을 함량별 첨가 급여군에서 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 흰쥐의 혈청 및 장기조직(간, 뇌, 심장, 신장)의 불소 함량은 krill meal의 함량에 따라 불소 함량도 증가되는 것으로 나타났다.

Polyglutamic acid(PGA) 함유량이 증대된 청국장이 조골세포에 미치는 영향을 세포 수준에서 관찰하고자 하였다. 조골세포에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 세포 생존율, 염기성 인산분해효소(alkaline phosphatase, ALP) 활성, 골 석회화 형성능, 조골세포 분화 관련 유전자 발현능을 측정하였다. 세포 독성이 없는 농도에서 염기성 인산분해효소 활성을 측정한 결과 농도에 의존적으로 ALP 활성이 증가하였으며, 일반 청국장 A보다 PGA 함유량이 증가한 청국장 B가 더 높은 ALP 활성 증가 효과를 나타내었다. 청국장의 골 석회화 형성능을 측정한 결과 역시 청국장 A보다 B가 더 높은 석회화 형성능을 나타내었다. 또한 분화 관련 유전자인 OCN, OPN, Col1, ALP 역시 청국장 B가 A보다 유전자 발현이 더 높게 나타났다. 이러한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 PGA가 증대된 청국장이 기존 청국장보다 조골세포의 활성에 효과적일 것으로 생각한다.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether Monascus-fermented soybean extracts (MFSE) containing natural estrogen-like compounds such as isoflavones and mevinolins has potential effects on human osteoblast-like SaOS2 cells using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and alkaline phophatase (ALP) assaies. MFSE exerted biphasic dose-dependent effect; stimulating osteoblastic activity at low concentrations and inhibiting SaOS2 cells viability at high concentrations. At $10^{-8}-10^{-4}\;mg/mL$, MFSE is not only non-cytotoxic but also induced comparatively high ALP activity on SaOS2 cells. ALP activity (%) significantly increased (220.1%, p<0.05) when SaOS2 cells were treated with MFSE at a concentration of $10^{-5}\;mg/mL$, whereas slowly increased (185.6%, p<0.05) in unfermented soybean extracts (UFSE) at $10^{-3}\;mg/mL$. The potentially greater ALP activity of MFSE compared to the UFSE might partially be caused by its mevinolin, which was derived from the soybean during Monascus-fermentation. Our findings indicate that supplementation of MFSE may accelerate the speed of intracellular ALP synthesis by the bone cells when provided at optimal dosages.
