  • The induction of proliferation of adult rat islets was investigated under various culture conditions. The islets were isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats and subsequently embedded in collagen gels, which mimic the in vivo three-dimensional surroundings. During the culture period, the effects of heterologous serum (fetal bovine serum, FBS), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and retinoic acid (RA) on islet growth were examined with respect to the morphological and total DNA content changes. To investigate these changes at the cellular level, whole mount immunocytochemistry using specific antibodies for insulin and glucagon was performed. The results showed that (i) collagen gels as an extracellular matrix can maintain islets in a similar way to that in vivo, (ii) heterologous serum (FBS) had stimulatory effects on islet proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, (iii) RA had inhibitory effects on islet proliferation induced by the serum in a dose-dependent manner, (iv) EGF had weak inhibitory effects on islet proliferation induced by the serum except at the concentration of 10 nM where its effect was not significant, and (v) whole mount immunocytochemistry revealed that newly proliferated islet cells were mainly $\beta$-and $\alpha$-cells.

  • 기질의 침윤과 전이를 특징으로 하는 악성종양 세포는 세포외 기질이나 기저막에 의존적으로 작용한다. 세포외 기질을 분해하는 효소인 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 계들의 발현 및 활성증가는 대부분의 악성종양세포에서 전이와 침윤을 촉진시킨다. MMP family 가운데 특히 type IV collagenase 활성을 지닌 MMP-2와 MMP-9은 세포외기질의 중요한 구성분인 collagen, fibronectin을 분해하는 특성을 가지며 암 전이를 용이하게 하는 주요한 효소로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 항암후보물질인 disulfiram이 골 육종 (U20S), 신장암 (Caki-1) 및 자궁암 (Caski) 세포에서 MMP-2와 MMP-9의 효소활성 및 발현억제에 대해 조사하였다. MTT assay를 이용하여 disulfiram에 대한 암세포 viability 실험에서는 disulfiram이 암세포의 viability를 저해하였다. 또한 zymography, western blot 및 RT-PCR 등을 이용한 type IV collagenase의 활성 및 발현 실험에서 disulfiram은 type IV collagenase의 활성을 비롯하여 단백질 및 mRNA 발현을 억제시키는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 disulfiram이 MMP-2와 MMP-9의 활성 및 발현 억제 기전을 통하여 골 육종, 신장암 및 자궁경부암 세포의 작용을 억제한다는 연구 결과는 disulfiram이 각종 악성종양의 침윤과 전이를 억제 또는 방지하기 위한 치료물질로서 임상에서 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

  • The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of 5% tetracycline(Tc) with or without citric acid on periodontally diseased root surfaces. Six single-rooted teeth extracted from one patient was selected and received thorough scaling and root planning, followed by saline irrigation. Each one tooth was divided into eight fragments with a thin separating disc. Total 48 fragments were prepared and setted into 4 groups for this study. Group I (control group)were treated with saline. Group II were treated with 5% Tc gel. Group III were treated with 33% citric acid-5% Tc gel. Group IV were treated with Tc solution. All the specimens are evaluated under Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). Group I showed large amount of debris in spite of thorough scaling and root planing, but Group II, III & IV showed clean and soft root surface texture. In higher magnification(x3, 000), Group II, III & IV showed nunmerous dentinal tubules, especially Group IV showed collagen fibrils. In the present study, Tc gel and Tc gel with citric showed clinically successful result when treated on periodontally diseased root surface, in vitro.

  • Purpose: (i) To evaluate the biologic properties of a bi-layered 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride-cross-linked collagen membrane (CCM) in vitro. (ii) To assess the efficacy of CCM for localized bone regeneration in vivo. Materials and Methods: Biodegradation of CCM compared to a native collagen membrane (NCM) was assessed in vitro. In vivo, twelve male New Zealand White rabbits were used. Four calvarial, circular defects (diameter 8 mm) were created in each animal. The sites were randomly allocated to i) CCM+biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) (CCM-BCP group), ii) CCM alone (CCM), iii) BCP alone (BCP) and, iv) negative control (control). Animals were sacrificed at 2 (n=6) and 8 weeks (n=6). Outcome measures included: micro-computed tomography (μCT) analysis (total augmented volume [TAV], new bone volume) and histomorphometry (total augmented area [TAA], newly formed bone, remaining membrane thickness [RMT]). Result: CCM was more resistant to degradation than NCM. μCT analysis showed CCM-BCP (196.43±25.30 mm3) and BCP (206.23±39.13 mm3) groups had significantly (P<0.01) larger TAV than the control (149.72±12.28 mm3) after 8 weeks. Histomorphometrically, CCM-BCP group (17.75±5.97 mm2) had significantly (P<0.01) greater TAA compared to the CCM group (7.74±2.25 mm2) and the control (8.13±1.81 mm2) after 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, RMT was reduced by 67%. Conclusion: CCM can be a favorable choice of barrier membrane when performing guided bone regeneration (GBR) in localized bone defects. CCM has better resistance to degradation than the natural collagen membrane, in vitro. In vivo, CCM provides an advantageous integration of prolonged barrier function and biocompatibility for GBR.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the histologic effect(LM and EM findings)of nonablative LASER and thermal energy on knee joint capsule of rabbit. Material and Methods: The nonablative LASER and thermal energy was applied to the rabits(average age 36 weeks, weight 5 ㎏). There were divided into 4 groups with 6 rabbits in each. The group I received 6 watts of LASER, group Ⅱ 12 watts of LASER, group Ⅲ 60° of thermal energy, and group Ⅳ 70° of thermal energy. The histologic study included H-E, Massons trichrome stain and electron microscopy at immediate, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after operation. Results: The histologic finding in immediate after operation was shown a fibrous degeneration of collagen on all groups and related to the energy level. The histologic finding after 3 weeks showed fibrosis and this fibrosis related the level of energy. Especially the group IV was shown flattening of capsule and deep fibrosis. The histologic finding after 6 weeks was shown marked recovery of collagen arrangement and capillary proliferation in group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ. But in the group Ⅳ not recovered. Conclusion: The nonablative LASER or thermal energy can cause degeneration, fibrosis and contracture of joint capsular collagen.

  • It is important to coordinated interaction among neurons, astrocytes and endothelial cells to maintain the function of brain. To study their regulatory mechanisms in vitro system, the co-culture system among the isolated cells from brain may be needed. However, the method for purifying brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) far culture have not established yet. In this study, the proper culture methods of mice cells using two different strains, CD1 and C57BL6, to obtain the pure and plentiful endothelial cells were described. The flatted-round forms of CD1 endothelial cells grew on the collagen-IV coating plates, while the purified cells from C57 mice preferred type collagen-I dishes for their growth. Both cells displayed anti-PECAM-1 (CD31) and von Willebrand Factor immune-reactivity. These results indicated that different coating materials not only improve attachment of isolated cells but also promoting growth of cells, suggesting that this method of purifying murine Brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) provides a suitable model to investigate blood-brain-barrier (BBB) properties within neurovascular unit in vitro.
