진균류 유래의 ${\beta}$-glucan은 pathogen-associated molecular patterns의 일종이기도 하며 면역촉진과 항암작용을 나타냄이 알려져 있지만 세포 내 신호전달에 관해서는 알려진 바가 많지 않다. 대식세포주인 RAW264.7 세포에 불로초에서 추출한 ${\beta}$-glucan을 처리하였을 때 세포막에서는 덱틴-1, toll-like receptor 2, 4, 6의 발현이 증가되었으며, 세포 내에서는 macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1a, MIP-$1{\beta}$, MIP-$1{\gamma}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ 그리고 tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$의 발현이 증가되었다. 또한 대식세포주에 불로초의 ${\beta}$-glucan과 PI3K 또는 MEK1/MEK2 억제제를 각각 처리하였을 때에 세포 내의 MIP-1a, MIP-$1{\beta}$, MIP-$1{\gamma}$, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$의 발현이 감소되었다. 따라서 불로초의 ${\beta}$-glucan은 대식세포에서 MyD88의 경로인 PI3K/Akt를 경유할 뿐만 아니라 MEK 경로를 활성화시킴으로써 다양한 면역조절작용이 가능한 것으로 여겨진다.

Hwanhonsan has been used for curing tumor as a Oriental medicine without any experimental evidence to support the rational basis for their clinical use. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the possible therapeutic or antitumoral effects of Hwanhonsan extract against cancer, and to study some mechanisms responsible for its effect. Some kind of tumors were induced by the typical application of 3-methylcholanthrene(MCA) or by the implantation of malignant tumor cells such as leukemia cells(3LL cells) or sarcoma cells(S180 cells) and FasII cells. Treatment of the Hwanhonsan extract(daily 1 mg/mouse, i.p.) was continued for 7 days prior to tumor induction and after that the treatment was lasted for 20 hrs. Against squamous cell carcinoma induced by MCA, Hwanhonsan decreased. not only the frequency of tumor production but also the number and weight of tumors per tumor bearing mice(TBM). Hwanhonsan also significantly suppressed the development of 3LL cells and S180 cells implanted tumors by frequency and their size, and some developed tumors were regressed by the continuous treatment of Hwanhonsan extract into TBM. However, when tumor was induced by FsaII cells implantation, the growth of implanted cells in mice was delayed by the water extract of Hwanhonsan until 7 days and then rapid growth ensued. In vitro treatment of Hwanhonsan extract had no inhibitory effect on the tumor induced by some kind of cell lines such as A431 cells strain but it significantly inhibited the proliferation of 3LL cells, S180 cells. These results suggested that Hwanhonsan extract exhibited a significant prophylactic benefits against tumors and its antitumor activity was manifested depending on the type of tumor cells.

Gamisoamsan is a prescription originated in Soamsan which is known as an anti-cancer remedy in the traditional Korean Medicine. To enhance the synergic effects of anti-cancer activity of Soamsan, this study reconstituted the original components of Soamsan with a slight modification and produced a novel herbal remedy, namely Gamisoamsan. To investigate the effects of Gamisoamsan on anti-cancer reaction, I studied the effects of Gamisoamsan on angiogenesis via chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, corneal neovascularization assay and the effects on expression of growth factor which are VEGF, TGF-β, bFGF and IMUP-1. Anti-cancer effects of Gamisoamsan was also abserved through hematological parameters, tumor volume and survival rate in mice. Gamisoamsan inhibited embryonic angiogenesis of blood vessels in CAM assay and inhibited neovascularization of ral cornea. Gamisoamsan reduced cell proliferation in HT1080 cells and IC50 was 2.18 ㎎/㎖ Gamisoamsan reduced the expression of VEGF, TGF-β, bFGF and IMUP-1 which was known as vascular growth factor and this effects of Gamisoamsan was predominant than VP-16. The treatment of Gamisoamsan decreased the CT-26 cell inoculated-tumor volume in mice colon adenocarcinoma and increased mice survival which was inoculated CT-26 cells. The results of the present study suggest that Gamisoamsan extracts has a potential anti-tumor activity and may be an useful remedy to prevent and/or treat cancer.

Thrombospondin-1은 암성장과 신혈관생성 억제조절인자로 병리학적 조건과 세포외에서의 자극에 의해 세포 특이적으로 조절되어지고 이 TSP-1 유전자 발현조절은 암치료제 개발을 위한 새로운 접근으로 중요하다. Mistletoe는 기생식물로 면역조절과 항암제로 사용되어지고 있다. Helixor A는 mistletoe 추출물의 수용액부분이다. 여기서 우리는 Helixor A를 투여하면 간암세포주 (Hep3B)와 혈관내피세포주 (BAE)에서 TSP-1의 mRWA와 단백질 발현이 유도되는 것을 관찰하였다. TSP-1 promoter 활성분석으로 TSP-1유전자의 발현이 Helixor A에 의해 전사단계에서 조절되어 진다는 것을 확인하였다. 세포 침윤 분석에서 Helixor A를 처리한 배지를 두 세포주에 처리함으로 침윤된 세포의 수가 현저하게 줄어드는 것을 관찰하였고, Matrigel에서 혈관 내피 세포 (BAE)의 모세관 형성을 억제하는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 세포 침윤과 모세관 형성에서 Helixor A를 처리했던 배지의 억제 효과가 TSP-1 중화 항체에 의해 그 효과가 상실되었다. 그러므로, 이 결과는 TSP-1이 Helixor A에 의해 유도되어진 혈관신생 억제 효과에 연관이 있음을 제시하였다. 이러한 결과를 종합 하였을 때 Helixor A가 TSP-1의 상승조절을 통해 혈관신생 억제 효과를 가질 것이라고 생각된다.

The use of alkylating agent cyclophosphamide(CY), a widely used antitumor drug is well known as a potent immunosuppressant and has been used as a probe for investigating the functional capabilities of lymphocyte subsets of both T and B cells that play an important role in the regulation of the immune response. The present study was undertaken in an effort to assess the effects of CY on immunological memory in murine model. CY, given as a single dose of CY(250mg/kg) before sensitization with sheep red blood cells(SRBC) enhanced the primary response of Arthus and delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH), as measured by footpad swelling reaction, but suppressed their tertiary DTH response. The similar CY pretreatment enhanced both the primary and tertiary hemagglutinin(HA) responses to SRBC, and the tertiary antibody response against polyvinylpyrroridone(PVP), a thymus-independent antigen but not the primary response against PVP. CY, given as a single dose of 250mg/kg 2 days before the primary immunization and two doses of 100mg/kg 2 days before the secondary and tertiary immunization, markedly suppressed the tertiary DTH and HA responses to SRBC. However, CY, given as small multiple daily doses(10mg/kg) over 4 days before sensitization but not after sensitization, enhanced the secondary HA response to SRBC. Contact sensitivity to dinitrofluorobenzene(DNFB) was suppressed by the drug, given either as a single large dose(300mg/kg) or as multiple dose(10mg/kg) administered 2 days before, together with or after DNFB sensitization. This suppression was more pronounced and more significant when CY was given as multiple dose. However, the enhancement of the secondary contact sensitivity to DNFB by CY was not clear-cut. The splenectomy appears to increase the enhancing effect of CY on contact sensitivity. These results suggest that CY selectively influences the immune response depending on the time of the drug administration relative to immunization and that the secondary or tertiary immune response involve memory cells with different susceptibilities to CY. Moreover, these results suggest that multiple low doses may sesectivley inhibit suppressor T cell proliferation involving DTH, HA or contact sensitivity without effecting helper T cells, but high doses presumably inhibit helper T cells and suppressor T cells with effecting B cells.

Background: Sun ginseng (SG), a specific formulation of quality-controlled red ginseng, contains approximately equal amounts of three major ginsenosides (RK1, Rg3, and Rg5), which reportedly has antitumor-promoting activities in animal models. Methods: MTT assay was used to assess whether SG can potentiate the anticancer activity of epirubicin or paclitaxel in human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells, human colon cancer SW111C cells, and SW480 cells; apoptosis status was analyzed by annexin V-FITC and PI and analyzed by flow cytometry; and apoptosis pathway was studied by analysis of caspase-3, -8, and -9 activation, mitochondrial accumulation of Bax and Bak, and cytochrome c release. Results: SG remarkably enhances cancer cell death induced by epirubicin or paclitaxel in human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells, human colon cancer SW111C cells, and SW480 cells. Results of the mechanism study highlighted the cooperation between SG and epirubicin or paclitaxel in activating caspase-3 and -9 but not caspase-8. Moreover, SG significantly increased the mitochondrial accumulation of both Bax and Bak triggered by epirubicin or paclitaxel as well as the subsequent release of cytochrome c in the targeted cells. Conclusion: SG significantly potentiated the anticancer activities of epirubicin and paclitaxel in a synergistic manner. These effects were associated with the increased mitochondrial accumulation of both Bax and Bak that led to an enhanced cytochrome c release, caspase-9/-3 activation, and apoptosis. Treating cancer cells by combining epirubicin and paclitaxel with SG may prove to be a novel strategy for enhancing the efficacy of the two drug types.

DA-125, a novel derivative of adriamycin, is known for its anti-cancer activity. In this study, the inhibitory mechanism of DA-125 on topoisomerase was investigated in the simian virus 40 (SV40) replicating CV-1 cell by studying the SV40 DNA replication intermediates and DNA-topoisomerase complexes. DNA-protein complexes that were formed in the drug-treated cells were quantitated by using a glass filter assay. SV40 DNA replication intermediates that were accumulated in the drug-treated CV-1 cell were analyzed in a high resolution gel. DA-125 did not accumulate B-dimers of SV40 DNA replication intermediates which were found in the adriamycin-treated CV-1 cells. DA-125 induced a dose-dependent formation of the DNA-protein complexes, while adriamycin did not. When adriamycin and etoposide (VP16) were added to the SV40-infected cells at the same time, adriamycin blocked the formation of the DNA-protein complexes induced by VP16 in a dose-dependent manner. However, DA-125 blocked the formation of the DNA-protein complexes induced by VP16 up to the maximum level of the DNA-protein complexes that were induced by DA-125 alone. Adriamycin and DA-125 did not inhibit the formation of the DNA-protein complexes that were caused by camptothecin, a known topoisomerase I poison. DA-125 is bifunctional in inhibiting topoisomerase II because it simultaneously has the properties of the topoisomerase II poison and the DNA intercalator. As a topoisomerase II poison, DA-125 alone induced dose-dependent formation of the DNA-protein complexes. However, as a DNA intercalator, it quantitatively inhibited the formation of the DNA-protein complexes induced by a strong topoisomerase II poison VP16. Furthermore considering that the levels of the DNA-protein complex induced by VP16 were decreased by DA-125 in terms of the topoisomerase II poison, we suggest that DA-125 has a higher affinity to the drug-binding sites of DNA than VP16 has.
