식품 연구에서 흔히 사용되는 물과 주정(70% 에탄올)을 사용하여 추출된 발계(SCR)의 열수 추출물(SCRW)과 에탄올 추출물(SCRW)의 총 플라보노이드 및 폴리페놀 함량, 항산화 활성, 항암활성을 측정하였다. SCRW와 SCRE는 DPPH(SCRW; 72.9%, SCRE; 42.4%)와 ABTS(SCRW; 81.6%, SCRE; 50.3%) 자유 라디칼을 효과적으로 소거하였으며, 양성 대조군인 BHA(53.8% DPPH, 49.5% ABTS)보다 더 높은 소거활성을 나타냈다. 또한 인체 유래 신장 정상세포(HEK293)에 대해서는 높은 생존율을 나타내 독성이 없음을 확인한 반면, 인체 유래의 암세포(유방암세포; MCF-7, 폐암세포; A549, 위암세포; AGS)에 대해서는 대조군으로 사용된 항암제 CPA와 유사하거나 더 높은 세포성장 억제효과가 확인되었다. 특히 SCRE는 AGS에 대하여 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 53.6%로 탁월한 위암 세포 성장저해 효과를 나타냈다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 발계 추출물의 높은 항산화 및 항암 활성이 확인되어 약리활성에 대한 기초연구 자료로 제시 할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 기능성 소재로써의 이용 가치를 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The present study describes the preliminary evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of the extracts from Inula japonica. I. japonica was extracted with methanol, ethanol, acetone, and water, and then cytotoxic activity of these extracts were evaluated. The cytotoxic activity of each extract was assessed by the MTT-dye reduction assay. Both ethanol and acetone extracts from I. japonica showed the cytotoxic activity against the HT-29 human colon cancer cells. Furthermore, the ethanol extract was fractionated with n-hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and water according to degree of Polarity, The diethyl ether fraction showed the highest cytotoxic activity against HT-29 cells, but the other fractions showed low cytotokic activity. In addition, diethyl ether layer also showed the cytotoxic activity against various tumor cells, such as human colon carcinoma SW620, human cervix adenocarcinoma HeLa, and human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells as well as HT-29 cells. These studies support that extracts of I. japonica may be a potential candidate as possible chemotherapeutic agent against human cancer.

Dietary flavonoids have attracted a great deal of attention as agents for preventing estrogen-related diseases, such as postmenopausal symptoms, and for reducing the risk of estrogen-dependent cancer. Kaempferol is one of the most commonly found dietary phytoestrogen. The aim of this study was to investigate the estrogenic and/or antiestrogenic effect of kaempferol, which can confirm its potency as a preventive agent against estrogen-related diseases. Kaempferol has both estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity, which are biphasic response on estrogen receptor. The estrogenic activity of kaempferol induced via ER-mediated pathway depending on $E_2$ concentration $(\leq\;10^{-12}M)$. Kaempferol $(10^{-5}\;M)$ also caused antiproliferative effect on MCF-7 cell in the presence of $E_2\;(10^{-11}\;M)$ and restored to the addition of excess $E_2\;(10^{-7}\;M)$, which confirms that antiproliferation of kaempferol was induced via ER-dependent pathway. However, at $10^{-4}\;M$, concentration higher than the concentrations at which the estrogenic effects of kaempferol are detected $(10^{-5}\;M)$, kaempferol induced strong antiproliferative effect, but were unaffected by the addition of excess $E_2\;(10^{-7}\;M)$ indicating that kaempferol exerts antiproliferation via ER-independent pathway. In particular, kaempferol blocked the focus formation induced by $E_2$, which confirms that kaempferol might inhibit the malignant transformation caused by estrogens. Therefore, we suggested that kaempferol might regulate a suitable level of estrogenic activity in the body and is expected to have potential beneficial effects in preventing estrogen imbalance diseases (breast cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and etc.).

The gold (LC-AuNPs) and silver (LC-AgNPs) nanoparticles were rapidly synthesized by fruit extract of Lycium chinense within 1.15 and 25 min respectively in an eco-friendly way. The synthesized nanoparticles confirmed by relevant surface plasmon resonance peaks for gold and silver nanoparticles at 536 and 480 nm, respectively. FE-TEM results revealed that LC-AuNPs were 20-50 nm and LC-AgNPs were 50-100 nm. The maximum distribution of gold, silver elements and the crystallographic nature of synthesized were confirmed using EDX, elemental mapping and XRD. LC-AgNPs showed inhibitory activity against pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli and S. aureus, whereas LC-AuNPs did not show inhibitory activity. The LC-AgNps nanoparticles exhibited significant cytotoxicity to human breast cancer MCF7 cell line and less cytotoxicity to non-diseased RAW264.7 (murine macrophage) cells whereas LC-AuNps showed minimal toxicity to both cell lines. In-depth research on this rapid, facile and greenery nanoparticles may play a potential role in biomedical applications.

The epothilones are a class of microtubule inhibitors that exhibit a strong antitumor activity. UTD2 is a novel epothilone analog generated by genetic manipulation of the polyketide biosynthetic gene cluster. This study investigated the effects of UTD2 on the actin cytoskeleton and its critical regulators, and the signaling pathways which are essential for cell motility, growth and survival in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Results showed that UTD2 inhibited the cellular functions of actin cytoskeleton, such as wound-closure, migration and invasion, as well as adhesion. Our study further demonstrated that UTD2 suppressed Rac1 GTPase activation and reduced the activity of PAK1, which is a downstream effector of Rac1, while the activity of Cdc42 was not affected. Additionally, the phosphorylation of p38 and ERK were significantly inhibited, but the phosphorylation of JNK remained the same after UTD2 treatment. Moreover, UTD2 inhibited the activity and mRNA expression of MMP-2, which plays a key role in cell motility. UTD2 also reduced the phosphorylation of Akt, which is an important signaling kinase regulating the cell survival through Rac1. Furthermore, UTD2 interrupted the synergy between Rac1 and Raf in focus formation assays. Taken together, these results indicated that UTD2 exerted multiple effects on the actin cytoskeleton and signaling pathways associated with Rac1. This study provided novel insights into the molecular mechanism of the antineoplastic and antimetastatic activities of epothilones. Our findings also suggest that the signaling pathways regulated by Rac1 may be evaluated as biomarkers for the response to therapy in clinical trials of epothilones.

Based on the finding that the 2-aminobenzamido group of MS-275 plays a crucial role in inhibiting HDACs through chelation of zinc existing at the active site of HDAC enzymes, novel N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives were synthesized for their potential ability to inhibit HDACs and evaluated for anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Although the synthesized arylsulfonamides have failed to significantly inhibit total HDACs activity, phenyl carbamate-linked arylsulfonamide 10 and benzyl thiocarbamate-linked arylsulfonamide 15 exhibited good anticancer activities, which were only 4.3- and 3.6-fold lower anticancer activities, respectively, than MS-275 that is undergoing phase II clinical trials. These results suggest that these compounds may act as a selective HDAC inhibitor and probably N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) sulfamoyl group may play an important role in interacting with HDAC enzymes through chelation of zinc ion.
