목적: 레티노인산(All-trans retinoic acid, ATRA)은 뇌종양 세포의 증식을 억제한다. 최근 ATRA에 의한 카타라제의 유도가 보고된 바 있다. 이에 저자들은 ATRA의한 카타라제의 유도가 ATRA의 세포증식 억제 효과와 관련이 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 36B10세포를 0~50${\mu}M$ ATRA로 24, 48시간 처리한 후 카타라제의 mRNA, 단백질 및 활성도를 측정하였다. 반응성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)은 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate를 사용하여 측정하였고, 세포사는 clonogenic assay로 측정하였다. 결과: 카타라제의 mRNA, 단백질 및 활성도는 ATRA의 농도 및 처리 시간에 따라 증가하였다. ATRA에 의해 증가한 카타라제의 활성도는 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATZ)에 의해 감소하였다. ATRA에 의해 증가한 ROS는 ATZ에 의해 감소하였다. ATRA에 의해 감소한 세포 생존분획은 ATZ에 의해 부분적으로 증가하였다. 결론: ATRA에 의해 유도된 카타라제는 ROS의 과생산과 관련 있으며 이는 36B10세포의 증식 억제를 가져온다.

Carboxypeptidase D (CPD) is a zinc-dependent protease, which is highly expressed in macrophages, and is thought to participate in inflammatory processes. In the present study, we investigated the possible regulatory effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), which is an active form of vitamin A and plays a critical regulatory role in both the innate and adaptive immunity, on CPD expression and secretion in human monocytic THP-1 cells. CPD mRNA expression first increased, from a concentration as low as 10 nM ATRA to a maximum level of expression, at 1 μM. ATRA enhanced intracellular CPD expression in a time- and concentration-dependent manner but did not affect cell surface CPD expression. Interestingly, 9-cis-RA did not affect CPD expression. Additionally, an experiment with RAR/RXR selective agonist or antagonists demonstrated that ATRA-induced enhancement of CPD expression was RAR/RXR dependent. ATRA also enhanced CPD secretion from THP-1 cells; however, this enhancement was RAR/RXR-independent. The anti-inflammatory agent dexamethasone reversed ATRA-induced enhancement of CPD expression and secretion. Our results suggest ATRA exerts regulatory effects on expression and secretion of CPD in human monocytes, and ATRA-induced CPD secretion may be associated with inflammatory response.

The experiment was conducted to study the effects of water soluble vitamins and retinoic acid on the differentiation of preadipocyte from omental, subcutaneous, intermuscular and intramuscular adipose tissue of Hanwoo. Differentiation was assessed by the change in enzyme activity, glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase in serum free cell culture system. Preadipocytes treated with biotin ($10{\mu}M$) and pantothenic acid ($100{\mu}M$) were significantly (p<0.05) less differentiated than those from the control in all adipose tissue depots except intramuscular tissue. Although there was no significance, vitamin C was shown to stimulate the adipocyte conversion in omental and subcutaneous, but not in intermuscular and intramuscular adipose tissues. Lower values of GPDH activity in intermuscular preadipocyte were interpreted to be caused by relatively higher amounts of protein. In this experiment vitamin C did not stimulate fat deposition in intramuscular adipose tissue but further experiments are needed on the role of vitamin C in preadipocyte differentiation. When treated with different levels of retinoic acids, differentiation of preadipocytes was significantly (p<0.05) reduced from the level of $0.5{\mu}g/ml$ in omental and intermuscular, from $50{\mu}g/ml$ in subcutaneous, and in intramuscular at $500{\mu}g/ml$, thus showing that intramuscular preadipocytes were least responsive to retinoic acid in differentiation. All-trans retinoic acid appeared to inhibit the differentiation in a dose dependent manner, regardless of adipose tissues type.

In the present study, we examined eye irritation oj six anti-wrinkle agents (ascorbic acid, glycolic acid, all trans-retinoic acid, ginseng extract, retinol, EB). We also compared eye irritation with skin irritation and cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells by these agents. The highest eye irritation was found in glycolic acid, but all trans-retinoic acid showed the highest skin irritation. The rank of eye irritation was not correlated with the cytotoxicity of agents. This result shows that eye irritation potency by these agents were not correlated with skin irritation potency, and cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells.

Tazarotene-induced gene 1 (TIG1) is a retinoic acid-inducible protein that is considered a putative tumor suppressor. The expression of TIG1 is decreased in malignant prostate carcinoma or poorly differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma, but TIG1 is present in benign or well-differentiated tumors. Ectopic TIG1 expression led to suppression of growth in cancer cells. However, the function of TIG1 in cell differentiation is still unknown. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we found that transmembrane protein 192 (TMEM192) interacted with TIG1. We also found that both TIG1A and TIG1B isoforms interacted and co-localized with TMEM192 in HtTA cervical cancer cells. The expression of TIG1 induced the expression of autophagy-related proteins, including Beclin-1 and LC-3B. The silencing of TMEM192 reduced the TIG1-mediated upregulation of autophagic activity. Furthermore, silencing of either TIG1 or TMEM192 led to alleviation of the upregulation of autophagy induced by all-trans retinoic acid. Our results demonstrate that the expression of TIG1 leads to cell autophagy through TMEM192. Our study also suggests that TIG1 and TMEM192 play an important role in the all-trans retinoic acid-mediated upregulation of autophagic activity.

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased with the incidence of obesity; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In this study, high-resolution metabolomics (HRM) along with transcriptomics were applied on animal models to draw a mechanistic insight of NAFLD. Wild type (WT) and catalase knockout (CKO) mice were fed with normal fat diet (NFD) or high fat diet (HFD) to identify the changes in metabolic and transcriptomic profiles caused by catalase gene deletion in correspondence with HFD. Integrated omics analysis revealed that cholic acid and $3{\beta}$, $7{\alpha}$-dihydroxy-5-cholestenoate along with cyp7b1 gene involved in primary bile acid biosynthesis were strongly affected by HFD. The analysis also showed that CKO significantly changed all-trans-5,6-epoxy-retinoic acid or all-trans-4-hydroxy-retinoic acid and all-trans-4-oxo-retinoic acid along with cyp3a41b gene in retinol metabolism, and ${\alpha}/{\gamma}$-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and thromboxane A2 along with ptgs1 and tbxas1 genes in linolenic acid metabolism. Our results suggest that dysregulated primary bile acid biosynthesis may contribute to liver steatohepatitis, while up-regulated retinol metabolism and linolenic acid metabolism may have contributed to oxidative stress and inflammatory phenomena in our NAFLD model created using CKO mice fed with HFD.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma$(PPAR{\gamma})$ 는 DNA와 결합하기 위해 retinoid-X receptor(RXR)와 heterodimer를 형성해야만 한다. 그리고 전사에 대한 최대활성은 수용체에 대한 리간드 특이성에 의하는 것으로 생각되고 있다. 활성화된 $(PPAR{\gamma})$ 와 $(PPAR{\gamma})$ 리간드는 종양억제 PTEN의 조절을 통해 종양세포의 성장에 영향을 끼치게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 $(PPAR{\gamma})$ ligand, ciglitazone그리고 RXR ligand로 동시에 자극하였을 때 급성전골수성백혈병(APL) 세포에 대해 이들이 함께 PTEN upregulate를 조절할 수 있는지를 결정하기 위함이다. 그리고 이들 세포의 성장과 분화주기에 대해 강력한 억제 능이 있는지를 결정하고자 하였다. 즉, 사람의 백혈병세포주인 HL-60세포에 all-trans-retinol과 ciglutazone을 노출시킨 뒤 PTEN 발현에 대한 측정을 위해 RT-PCR법으로 PTEN mRNA 발현 정도를 확인하고 western blot으로 분석하였다 세포주기의 분석은 propidium iodide(PI) 염색법과 FACScan으로 분석하였고, HL-60 cells에서 $(PPAR{\gamma})$ ligand, ciglitazone, 그리고 RXR ligand, retinoic acid 그리고 upregulated PTEN 발현에 대한 time- and dose-dependent방법으로 각각 확인하였던 바 ciglitazone과 retinoic acid를 동시 조합하여 처치하였을 때 유의적인 효과를 인정할 수 있었다. 더욱이 이들 혼합 물질은 세포의 성장과 G, phase를 동시 억제하는 능력이 있었다. 그러므로 $(PPAR{\gamma})$의 활성에 있어 RXR heterodimer가 사람의 백혈병세포에 대한 조절 경로로서 존재하며, PTEN의 upregulation을 통해 백혈병을 조절하기 때문에 백혈병의 예방 및 치료 접근에 $(PPAR{\gamma})$와 RXR ligands가 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid(RA) on the development of cholangiocarcinoma in hamsters. Eighty six female Syrian golden hamsters were divided into four groups. Group I was for the induction of the cholangiocarcinoma, which was infected orally with C sinensis and given dimethylnitrosamine(DMN, 15ppm) in drinking water for 4 weeks. Group II was for evaluating the effect of all-trans RA treatment on the cholangiocarcinogenesis, which was treated the same as group I and orally given RA(1mg/kg, 5 times per week) for 15 weeks. Group III was given only RA hr 15 weeks. Control group IV was given only soybean oil which was solvent for RA treatment. More than 5 heads of hamsters in each group were sacrificed at 4, 7, 11 and 15 weeks after the begining of the experiment. The livers were examined grossly, histopathologically, and immunohistochemically. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Death of animals started from the 11 weeks after the begining of the experiment. One of the total 22 animals(5%) and 7 of the total 24 animals(29%) died in group I and group II, respectively. 2. Proliferation of oval cell was peaked at 11 weeks in group I and at 7 weeks in group II, and decreased gradually after those periods of the time. 3. Cholangiocarcinomas were found in 1 of 6 animals(17%) at 11 weeks and in 4 of 6 animals(67%) at 15 weeks in group I, respectively. But in group II, the cholangiocarcinomas occured in 1 of 5 animals(20%) at 7 weeks, in 7 of 12 animals(58%) at 11 weeks and in 2 of the rest animals(100%) at 15 weeks, respectively. 4. Expression of $\alpha$-fetoprotein(AFP) of the oval cells in the group II showed the same degree of positive reaction at that of group I at 4 weeks. But AFP postive oval cells decreased gradually and AFP negative oval cells(ductlike oval cells) increased gradually. 5. Expression of cytokeratin of the oval cells in group II was shown slightly at 4 weeks and the degree of expression increased moderately from the 7 weeks. But the expression of the oval cells in group I was shown slightly after the 7 weeks. These results suggested that all-trans RA promoted the occurrence and the rate of cholangiocarcinoma by inducing differentiation of small cells and oval cells in the liver of hamsters infected with C sinensis and treated with DMN.
