Objectives : Gumiganghwal-tang and its main components have been used for treatment of cough, headache, joint pain and fever. Using a respiratory inflammatory model, we intend to demonstrate the its anti-inflammatory effect and immune mechanism of Gumiganghwal-tang. Methods : We induced the respiratory inflammation mouse model by papain treatment. Female BALB/C mice (8 weeks old) were divided into three groups as follows: saline control group, papain treatment group (vehicle), papain and Gumiganghwal-tang (200 mg/kg) treatment group (n=4). To verify the anti-inflammatory effect of Gumiganghwal-tang extracts, we measured the infiltration of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and nasal lavage fluid (NALF). Additionally, the efficacy of Gumiganghwal-tang extracts on Th2 cell population and alveolar macrophage in lung were analyzed by using flow cytometry. Results : Gumiganghwal-tang extracts administration decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in BALF and NALF, especially of eosinophils. Furthermore, interleukin-5 level was reduced in lung by drug administration. Interestingly, Gumiganghwal-tang extracts treatment also decreased the Th2 cell (CD4⁺GATA3⁺) population and increased the alveolar macrophage (CD11b⁺CD11c⁺) population in lung. Conclusions : Our findings indicate that Gumiganghwal-tang extracts have anti-inflammatory effects by mediating Th2 cell and alveolar macrophage cell activation.

Tooth movement by orthodontic force is based upon alveolar bone resorption at compression site and bone formation at tension site of tooth. The function of cyclic AMP is to participate not only in initial action of bone cells by mechanical forces but also in the continuous cellular response leading to bone remodeling. This experiment was performed to clarify the role of cyclic AMP in bone remodeling by mechanical forces. The orthodontic forces of about 80 gm and 100 gm were applied to the right canines of maxillary and mandibular bone, respectively, in cats, treated for periods of time ranging from one hour to 28 days. Alveolar bones were obtained from compression and tension sites surrounding tipping maxillary and mandibular canines as well as from contralateral control sites. The samples were extracted, boiled and homogenized, and the supernatants were assayed for cyclic AMP by a radioimmunoassay method. The results were as follows: 1. The orthodontic movement of canines was increased to the end of experimental period and the action of orthodontic forces on tooth movement was more effective in maxillary canine. 2. The cyclic AMP levels of alveolar bones in compression and tension sites initially decreased, then increased and remained elevated to the end of experiment. The differences of the cyclic AMP levels between treated sites and non-treated sites were gradually increased. 3. The cyclic AMP levels in treated sites of mandibular alveolar bone was higher than that of maxillary alveolar bone.

Objective: Although alveolar macrophages play a key role in the respiratory immunity of livestock, studies on the mechanism of differentiation and survival of alveolar macrophages are lacking. Therefore, we undertook to investigate changes in the lipid metabolism and survival rate, using 3D4/31 macrophages and Dudleya brittonii which has been used as a traditional asthma treatment. Methods: 3D4/31 macrophages were used as the in vitro porcine alveolar macrophages model. The cells were activated by exposure to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Dudleya brittonii extraction was performed with distilled water. For evaluating the cell survival rate, we performed the water-soluble tetrazolium salt cell viability assay and growth curve analysis. To confirm cell death, cell cycle and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using flow cytometric analysis by applying fluorescence dye dichlorofluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide. Furthermore, we also evaluated cellular lipid accumulation with oil red O staining, and fatty acid synthesis related genes expression levels using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with SYBR green dye. Glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle related gene expression levels were measured using qPCR after exposure to Dudleya brittonii extract (DB) for 12 h. Results: The ROS production and cell death were induced by PMA treatment, and exposure to DB reduced the PMA induced downregulation of cell survival. The PMA and DB treatments upregulated the lipid accumulation, with corresponding increase in the acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha, fatty acid synthase mRNA expressions. DB-PMA co-treatment reduced the glycolysis genes expression, but increased the expressions of fatty acid oxidation and TCA cycle genes. Conclusion: This study provides new insights and directions for further research relating to the immunity of porcine respiratory system, by employing a model based on alveolar macrophages and natural materials.

폐포강 대식세포는 사이토카인, 유해산소 대사물을 포함한 그들이 분비하는 물질들로 인해 급성 폐손상에 있어서 직접, 간접적으로 폐손상의 초기반응에 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 $interleukin-1\alpha$(IL-1)로 유도된 급성 폐손상에서 폐포강 대식세포의 역할을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험군은 대조군과 IL-1투여 후 1시간, 2시간, 3시간, 4시간 그리고 5시간군으로 나누었으며, 폐포강 대식세포와 XO와의 관계를 분석하기 위해 폐세척액 내 XO의 활성도와 폐포강 대식세포, 단핵구, 그리고 호중구의 수적 변화를 측정하였다. 그리고 각 군의 미세구조 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 폐포강 내 단핵구의 수는 IL-1투여 후 1시간군에서 대조군과 비교하여 현저히 증가되었으며 (p<0.001), 폐포강 대식세포의 수는 IL-1 투여 2시간 후에 가장 높았고, 폐세척액 내 XO의 활성도는 IL-1 투여 후 점차적으로 증가되다가 3시간 후에 현저히 증가되었다(p<0.05). 폐포강 내 호중구의 수는 IL-1투여 3시간 후부터 뚜렷이 증가되기 시작하였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 IL-1을 기관지 내로 투여한 후 유도된 급성 폐손상에서 폐포강 대식세포에서 유리된 XO는 호중구의 축적에 의한 손상보다 더 초기단계에서 폐손상을 유도하는 인자인 것으로 추정된다.

Background and Objectives: With the global demand for dairy protein for consumption growing annually, there has been increasing activity in the research field of dairy protein synthesis and production. From a manipulation perspective, it is more difficult to use live cattle for laboratory studies on the production of milk as well as of dairy protein such as casein, as compared with using laboratory animals like rodents. Therefore, we aimed to develop a mouse model of bovine mammary alveolar ducts for laboratory-scale studies. We studied the formation of the bovine mammary gland ductal structure by transplanting the MAC-T bovine alveolar cell line into mice. Methods and Results: MAC-T cells ($1{\times}10^7$) were suspended in Matrigel and injected into the dorsal tissue of 8-week-old male BALB/C nude mice. Histological analysis of tissue dissected from the MAC-T cell-transplanted mice after 6 weeks showed the typical morphology of the tubuloalveolar female gland, as well as glands made up of branching ducts that were surrounded by smooth muscle with small alveoli budding off the ducts. In addition, the epithelial markers CK14 and CK18 were expressed within the duct-like structure. Prolactin was detected in the duct interior in these CK14+ and CK18+ cells but not in the non-transplanted MAC-T cells. Conclusions: These results showed that duct-like tissue had been successfully formed after 6 weeks of transplantation of the CK14+ and CK18+ MAC-T cells into mice dorsal tissue. This mouse model will be a useful tool for further research on the bovine mammary gland.

Alveolar type II cells constitute a small fraction of the total lung cell mass. However, they play an important role in many cellular processes including trans-differentiation into type I cells as well as repair of lung injury in response to toxic chemicals and respiratory pathogens. Transcription factors are the regulatory proteins dynamically modulating DNA structure and gene expression. Transcription factor profiling in microarray datasets revealed that several members of AP1, ATF, $NF-{\kappa}B$, and C/EBP families involved in diverse responses were expressed in mouse lung type II cells. A transcriptional factor signature consisting of Cebpa, Srebf1, Stat3, Klf5, and Elf3 was identified in lung type II cells, Sox9+ pluripotent lung stem cells as well as in mouse lung development. Identification of the transcription factor profile in mouse lung type II cells will serve as a useful resource and facilitate the integrated analysis of signal transduction pathways and specific gene targets in a variety of physiological conditions.

연구배경 : 내독소 유도성 급성 폐손상(acute lung injury : ALI)은 비교적 임상에서 흔히 접하는 호흡기질환으로서, 조기에 적절한 치료가 이루어지지 않을 경우 예후가 좋지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 최근 몇 가지 보조치료약제가 임상에서 사용되고 있기는 하지만, 아직 ALI를 효과적으로 치료할 수 있는 약제는 개발되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구지들은 최근 ALI의 새로운 보조치료약제로서의 가능성이 대두 pentoxifylline (PF) 및 ONO-5046(specific neutrophil elastase inhibitor)이 백서의 내독소 유도성 ALI와 관련된 염증반응에 대해 어떤 효과를 나타내는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 내독소 유도성 ALI의 생체외(in vitro) 모델을 확립하기 위해 백서의 폐포대식세포 및 말초혈액 호중구를 다양한 비율(1:0, 5:1, 1:1, 1:5, 0:1)로 혼합하여 내독소 자극 하에서 백서의 폐포상피세포주(L2 cells) 혹은 혈관내피세포주(IP2-E4 cells)와 함께 혼합 배양하였다. 모든 실험은 5군(대조군, LPS군, LPS+PF군, LPS+ONO군, LPS+PF+ONO군)으로 나누어 비교하였는데, 우선 다양한 비율로 혼합된 백서 폐포대식세포 및 말초혈액 호중구의 배양상층액으로부터 내독소 유도성 과산화음이온 생성능을 측정하고, 이들 염증세포들이 각 폐조직세포에 미치는 세포독성능을 측정하였다. 아울러 백서의 폐포대식세포로부터 내독소 유도성 TNF-$\alpha$, MCP-1, IL-6, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-10 분비 및 TNF-$\alpha$ iNOS, MCP-1 mRNA 발현을 관찰하였다. 결과 : (1) 세포혼합비가 1:5일 때 LPS+PF+ONO군을 제외하고는 세포혼합비에 상관없이 LPS+PF군, LPS+ONO군 및 LPS+PF+ONO군 모두에서 각 세포혼합비의 LPS군에 비해 백서 폐포대식세포와 말초혈액 호중구로부터 내독소 유도성 과산화 음이온 생성능이 억제되는 경향을 보였다. (2) 백서 혈관내피세포(IP2-E4 cells)에 대한 염증세포들의 내독소 유도성 세포독성능은 세포혼합비에 상관없이 LPS+PF군, LPS+ONO군 및 LPS+PF+ONO군 모두에서 각 세포혼합비의 LPS군에 비해 감소하는 경향올 보였다. 하지만 백서 폐포상피세포(L2 cells)에 대한 염증세포들의 내독소 유도성 세포독성능은 세포혼합비 및 각 실험군에 따라 다양한 양상을 보였다. (3) LPS+PF군 및 LPS+PF+ONO군 포두에서 백서 LPS군에 비해 TNF-$\alpha$ 분비가 LPSrns에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 감소되었으며, MCP-1 및 IL-10 분비도 LPS군에 비해 다소 감소 하는 경향을 보였다. 반면에 LPS+ONO군은 LPS군과 비교하여 백서 폐포대식세포로부터 내독소 유도성 cytokines 분비에 별 차이가 없었다. LPS+PF군, LPS+ONO군 및 LPS+PF+ONO군 모두에서 백서 폐포대식세포로부터 내독소 유도성 IL-$1{\beta}$ 및 IL-6 분비는 LPS군에 비해 오히려 증가하는 경향을 보였다. (4) LPS+PF군, LPS+ONO군 및 LPS+PF+ONO군 모두에서 백서 폐포대식셰포로부터 내독소 유도성 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 MCP-l mRNA 발현이 억제되는 경향을 보였으나, iNOS mRNA 발현은 오히려 증가하는 경향을 보였다. pentoxifylline은 백서의 염증세포들로부터 내독소 유도성 과산화 음이온 생성을 억제하였고 폐포대식세포로부터 TNF-$\alpha$ 및 MCP-1 mRNA 발현과 억제하여 폐조직세포 손상을 감소시켰으며 ONO-5046은 과산화 음이온 생성억제 및 TNF-$\alpha$ MCP-1 mRNA 발현억제, MCP-1의 분비를 억제하였을 뿐 아니라 항염증 매개물질인 IL-10 분비를 증가시킴으로써 폐조직세포의 손상을 방지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. pentoxifylline과 ONO-5046의 병용투여시에도 과산화 음이온 생성 및 일부 염증성 물즐의 mRNA의 발현 및 분비를 억제함으로써 폐조직세포의 손상을 방지함을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과들로 보아 PF 및 ONO-5046은 내독소 유도성 ALI의 염증반응을 완화시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 추측되며, 향후 이 약제들은 ALI의 새로운 보조 치료제로 사용하기 위해서는 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되는 바이다.

Osteoblasts from alveolar bone may have an important role in the bone regeneration for periodontium, but their culture and characterization are not determined yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological characteristics of primary explant cultured osteoblasts(PECO) from alveolar bone. Osteoblasts were isolated and cultured from alveolar socket of extracted tooth in children. To compare the characteristics, osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts were cultured with DMEM at $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$, l00% humidity incubator, and human fetal osteoblasts cell line(hFOB1) were cultured with DMEM at $34^{\circ}C$, 5%, $CO_2$ 100% humidity incubator. To characterize the isolated bone cells, morphologic change, cell proliferation and differentiation were measured. Morphology of PECO was small round body or cuboidal shape on inverted microscope and was similar with hFOB1. PECO became polygonal shape with stellate and had an amorphous shape at 9th passage in culture. PECO had significantly higher activity than that of gingival fibroblasts and hFOB1 in alkaline phosphatase activity. The expression of osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein in PECO was notably increased when compared with hFOB1 and gingival fibroblasts. These result indicated that PECO from alveolar bone in children has an obvious characteristics of osteoblast, maybe applied for the regeneration of bone.

The physical tooth movement by orthodontic force is based upon alveolar bone resorption at compression site and new bone formation at tension site of the alveolar socket. The function of the cyclic AMP is to participate not only in initial action of bone cells by mechanical forces but also in the continuous cellular response leading to bone remodelling. This experiment was performed to clarify the role of cyclic AMP in bone remodelling by mechanical force in the NORMAL group, the DIABETES group and the INSULIN TREATED group. The 72 rats were divided into the NORMAL group, the DIABETES group and the INSULIN TREATED group. The same orthodontic forces were applied to the rats of 3 groups. These rats were treated for periods of time ranging from 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days. The samples of alveolar bones were obtained from compression and tension sites surrounding the tipping teeth from NORMAL, DIABETE and INSULIN TREATED rats. The samples were assayed for cyclic AMP by the cyclic AMP RIA kit. The results were as follows: 1. The cyclic AMP levels of alveolar bone in compression and tension sites showed initial decrease, then increased and .remained elevated by the time consuming. 2. The highest cyclic AMP level showed in the DIABETES group and the lowest level was in the NORMAL group. 3. The cyclic AMP levels in the INSULIN TREATED group was similar with the NORMAL group in control and tension sites, but in the compression sites it was similar with the DIABETES group.
