본 연구는 내분비교란물질로 알려진 TBTC가 해양생물에게 미치는 영향을 조사하는 연구의 일환으로, 이 화합물에 노출시킨 어류의 간장 MFO 효소계의 반응을 in vitro로 조사하였다. 대상 어류는 개복치(Mola mola), 숭어(Mugil cephalus), 강도다리(Ptatichthys stellatus), 청어(Clupeu pallasii), 붕장어(Astroconger myriaster), 조피볼락 (Sebastes schlegeli), 참돔(Pugrus major), 넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus)이며, 이들의 간장 미크로좀을 2mM의 TBTC와 in vitro (3$0^{\circ}C$, 20분)로 배양하고 cytoch-rome P45O (CYP), cytochrome b5, NAD(P)H -cytochro-me c 환원효소를 비롯한 탈알킬화 효소들(EROD, PROD, MROD, ECOD)의 변화를 조사하였다. TBTC는 환원효소의 측정 시에는 DMSO에, 그리고 그 밖의 효소 측정시에는 메탄올에 녹여 2% 농도로. 첨가하였다. 어류의 간장 CYP 함량은 TBTC와 배양 후 대부분(6 어류/8어류)에서 10% 이하로 크게 저해되었으나, cyto-chrome b5함량은 변함이 없었다. 하지만 NAD(P)H 의존성 환원효소의 반응은 어류에 따라 달랐고, CYP 외에 두 환원효소도 모두 영향을 받아 저해되는 타입 1(개복치, 조피볼락, 청어, 강도다리, 참돔), CYP 외에 NADH 의존성 환원효소만 저해되는 타입 2(붕장어, 숭어)및 CYP 저해되지만 두 환원효소는 영향을 받지 않거나 오히려 유도되는 타입 3 (넙치)으로 구분되었다. 그리고 대부분(7/8)의 어류에서는 NADH 의존성 환원효소가 NADPH 의존성 환원효소에 비해 더욱 저해되는 경향을 보였다. TBTC는 어류의 탈알킬화 효소에도 영향을 미쳤고, 어류별 EROD활성의 저해는 개복치, 참돔, 붕장어, 조피볼락(잔존율 1~7%)>숭어, 청어 (14~30%)>넙치, 강도다리(56~65%)의 순이었으며, ECOD 활성의 저해도 개복치, 참돔, 붕장어 (36~38%)>조피볼락(63%))숭어, 청어, 넙치, 강도다리(90%)의 순으로 비슷한 경향이었다. 한편, 넙치와 강도다리에서는 PROD가 MROD보다 더욱 심하게 저해되었다. 이처럼 어류 간장의 약물대사 효소계는 TBTC에 의한 저해 정도가 어류에 따라 심한 차이를 보였다.

The present study was done to determine the effect of trolox C, a hydrophilic analogue of vitamin E, on hepatic injury, especially the alteration in cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-dependent drug metabolism during ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Rats were subjected to 60 min of hepatic ischemia and 5 h of reperfusion. Rats were treated intravenously with trolox C (2.5 mg/kg) or vehicle (PBS, pH 7.4), 5 min before reperfusion. Serum alanine aminotransferase and lipid peroxidation levels were markedly increased after I/R. This increase was significantly suppressed by trolox C. Cytochrome P-450 content was decreased after I/R but was restored by trolox C. There were no significant differences in ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP 1A1) and methoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP 1A2) activities among any of the experimental groups. Pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP 2B1) activity was decreased and aniline p-hydroxylase (CYP 2E1) activity was increased after I/R. Both these changes were prevented by trolox C. Our findings suggest that trolox C reduces hepatocellular damage as indicated by abnormalities in microsomal drug-metabolizing function during I/R, and that this protection is, in part, caused by decreased lipid peroxidation.

Biological activities of PAHs are not known although PAHs are considered as carcinogens. Recent industrial society has human widely exposed to PAHs (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons) that are comming from the incomplete combustion of organic material as wider spread environmental contaminants. Our laboratory have been studied the effect of PAHs in the human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. In this study, we examined the human breast cancer MCF-7 cells as a new system to evaluate bioactivity of PAHs. We have selected 13 PAHs to examine bioassay using CYP1A1-luciferase reporter gene expression system where CYP1A1 1.6 Kb 5flanking region DNA was cloned in front of luciferase reporter gene and this plasmid was transfected into MCF-7 cells transiently. This cells then used for the study to observe the effect of PAHs. We demonstrated that PAHs induced the CYP1A1 promoter, CYP1A1 mRNA and 7-ethoxyresolufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities in a concentration-dependant manner. None of PAHs that we have tested showed stronger stimulatory effect on CYP1 gene expression than TCDD. Benz(a)anthracene and benzo(b)fluoranthene were weak responders to CYP1A1 promoter activity stimulation, CYP1A1 mRNA and EROD induction in MCF-7 cells and these chemicals seemed to respond less either CYP1A1 mRNA or EROD than CYP1A1 promoter activity. Benzo(k)fluoranthene, chrysene, and dibenzo(a, h)anthracene showed strong response to CYP1A1 promoter activity stimulation, CYP1A1 mRNA increase and also EROD induction in MCF-7 cells. Results of dose response study suggested that two strong responding PAHs, such as benzo(k)fluoranthene and dibenzo(a, h)anthracene might be mediated through Aryl hydrocarbon receptors system in MCF-7 cells.

Objectives: Yongdamsagan-tang (YST) and Paljung-san (PJS) in traditional medicine and finasteride in modern medicine are used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In recent, the use of combination herbal remedies with conventional drugs has been increasing. Therefore, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs to treat BPH and the influence of herbal formulas on finasteride metabolism. Methods: The inhibitory effects of the herbal formulas and finasteride on the production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines were determined in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, the influence of herbal formulas on activities of human drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) was assessed using human microsomal enzymes. Results: We observed that YST, PJS and finasteride inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in RAW 264.7 cells. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of YST on PGE₂ production was calculated to be below 25 ㎍/mL. YST inhibited the activity of uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransterase (UGT) 1A4 with an IC₅₀ value of 49.35 ㎍/mL. The activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and UGT1A1 were inhibited by PJS (IC₅₀ < 100 ㎍/mL, each). Although PJS and YST inhibited the activities of CYP3A4 and UGT1A4, respectively, these formulas may not influence the metabolism of finasteride because the IC₅₀ values of herbal formulas on DMEs are too high to affect metabolism. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the combination of finasteride and YST or PJS might not influence their drug metabolism and that the drugs may have synergistic effects against BPH.

Background: Studies of effects of IL-1 polymorphisms, CYP2C19 genotype together with antibiotic resistance for H. pylori eradication are rare worldwide. The present study was designed to evaluate efficacy of 10-day sequential therapy (SQT) and 14-day standard triple therapy (STT) with four- times-daily dosing of amoxicillin for H. pylori eradication related to these important host and bacterial factors in Thailand. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized study was performed during March 2015 to January 2016. H. pylori infected gastritis patients were randomized to receive 10-day sequential therapy and 14-day standard triple therapy. CYP2C19 genotyping, IL1 polymorphism (IL-1B and IL-1RN genotypes) and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed in all patients. 13C-UBT was conducted to confirm H. pylori eradication at least 4 weeks after treatment. Results: A total of 100 patients (33 males and 67 females, mean age=51.1 years) were enrolled. Eradication rate by PP analysis was 97.9% (47/48) with the 10-day SQT regimen and 87.8% (43/49) with 14-day STT regimen (97.9% vs 87.8%; p-value=0.053). Antibiotic susceptibility testing demonstrated 45% resistance to metronidazole, 14.8% to clarithromycin, and 24.1% to levofloxacin. CYP2C19 genotyping revealed 44.9% RM, 49% IM and 6.1% PM. IL-1B and IL-1RN genotypes were demonstrated as 21.4% for CC, 48.1% for TC, 36.8% for TT, 72.7% for 1/1, and 21.2% for 1/2 genotypes, respectively. The 10-day SQT regimen provided 100% eradication in patients with clarithromycin or dual clarithromycin and levofloxacin H. pylori resistant strains. Moreover, the 10-day SQT regimen resulted in a 100% eradication rate in all patients with CYP2C19 genotype RM and almost type of IL-1B (TC and TT) and IL1-RN genotypes ( 1/2 and other). Conclusions: Treatment with 10-day sequential therapy is highly effective for H. pylori eradication regardless of the effects of clarithromycin resistance, dual clarithromycin and levofloxacin resistance, CYP2C19 genotype, IL-1B and IL1-RN genetic polymorphisms and can be used as effective first line therapy in Thailand.

Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is an environmental pollutant that has been implicated in carcinogenesis. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was treated with B[a]P, and the responses of its cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme and DNA-damage checkpoint genes were examined through gene expression profiles using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The DNA-damage checkpoint genes tested were the chk1 and pds1 genes, involved in a metaphase arrest, the swi6 gene targeted by G1 arrest, the pol2 gene related to S phase arrest, and the cln2 gene encoding a cyclin protein, all of which are based on rad9 and rad24. Among these genes, no noticeable effect was found when the cells were exposed to various concentrations of B[a]P. However, the transcriptional activity of CYP51 was significantly different when the cells were exposed to B[a]P. Accordingly, the present results indicate that cytochrome P450 plays a more significant role than DNA-damage checkpoint genes in the response of S. cerevisiae to B[a]P.

본 연구는 간암세포주인 HepG2 cell line에서 녹차씨박 추출물을 에탄올, 석유 에테르, 에틸 아세테이트, 부탄올의 순으로 분획 및 열수 추출물을 조제하여 암세포 증식 억제능을 확인한 후 에탄올 추출물을 선정하여 항종양 및 항염증효과를 생화학적, 분자적 방법으로 분석하였다. 녹차씨박 에탄올 추출물(DGTSE)의 polyphenol 함량을 HPLC로 분석한 결과 EGC($1039.1{\pm}15.26\;{\mu}g/g$)> tannic acid($683.5{\pm}17.61\;{\mu}g/g$)> EC($62.4{\pm}5.00\;{\mu}g/g$)> ECG($24.4{\pm}7.81\;{\mu}g/g$)> EGCG($20.9{\pm}0.96\;{\mu}g/g$)> gallic acid($2.4{\pm}0.68\;{\mu}g/g$)의 순이었으나 caffeic acid는 검출되지 않았다. DGTSE의 농도가 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상에서는 84.13%의 세포 증식 억제능($IC_{50}$: $6.58\;{\mu}g$/mL)을 보여 간암세포의 증식을 효과적으로 억제하였고 제1상효소계인 CYP1A1와 CYP1A2의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. QR 활성은 DGTSE을 $20\;{\mu}g$/mL 농도로 처리 시 대조군에 비해 2.6배 증가하였으며 reporter gene activity로 측정한 ARE 활성은 1.94배로 각각 증가하였다. DGTSE의 처리는 염증생성 인자인 PGE2의 생성과 TNF-${\alpha}$의 단백질 발현은 유의적으로 저해하였으며 cytokine 반응, 염증, 세포성장조절과 같은 다양한 단계에 참여하는 전사인자인 NF${\kappa}$B의 핵으로의 translocation을 억제하였다. 이상의 결과에서 DGTSE은 간암세포인 HepG2 세포계에서 암세포 증식 억제능을 가지며 해독효소인 QR, ARE의 활성을 증진시키고 NF${\kappa}$B의 translocation을 방해하고 TNF-${\alpha}$의 단백질 발현과 $PGE_2$의 생성을 억제하여 암세포의 증식을 억제하였다. 따라서 녹차씨박 추출물에 함유된 암세포 증식효과를 나타내는 생리활성 물질들에 대한 연구가 앞으로 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Differentially expressed genes by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) were identified in order to evaluate them as dioxin-sensitive markers and crucial signaling molecules to understand dioxin-induced toxic mechanisms in human bronchial cells. Gene expression profiling was analyzed by cDNA microarray and ten genes were selected for further study. They were cytochrome P450, family 1, subfamily B, polypeptide 1 (CYP1B1), S100 calcium binding protein A8 (calgranulin A), S100 calcium binding protein A9 (calgranulin B), aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member A3 (ALDH6) and peroxiredoxin 5 (PRDX5) in up-regulated group. Among them, CYP1B1 was used as a hallmark for dioxin and sharply increased by TCDD exposure. Down-regulated genes were IK cytokine, interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1), nuclease sensitive element binding protein 1 (NSEP1), protein tyrosine phosphatase type VI A, member 1 (PTP4A1), ras oncogene family 32 (RAB32). Although up-regulated 4 genes in microarray were coincided with northern hybridization, down-regulated 5 genes showed U-shaped expression pattern which is sharply decreased at lower doses and gradually increased at higher doses. These results introduce some of TCDD-responsive genes can be sensitive markers against TCDD exposure and used as signaling cues to understand toxicity initiated by TCDD inhalation in pulmonary tissues.
