본 연구는 된장의 항암효과를 검토하기 위해서 된장 메탄올 추출물과 그 분획물들에 의한 여러 인체 암세포들의 성장 억제와 DNA합성 저해 실험을 행하였다. AGS 인체 위암세포를 이용하여 6일간 배양하여 된장의 메탄을 추출물 $200{\mu}g/ml$를 처리한 결과 $32\%$의 억제효과를 나타내었고 된장 메탄올의 분획물들 중 디클로로메탄층이 가장 높았으며 $200{\mu}g/ml $ 농도로 첨가했을 때 $90\%$의 위암세포 성장을 저해시켰고 에틸아세테이트 분획물을 동일 첨가농도로 투여했을 때 $62\%$의 저해효과를 보였다. 인체 간암세포인 Hep 3B의 경우, 첨가농도 $200{\mu}g/ml$에서 메탄올 추출물은 $51\%$로 암세포 증식을 억제하였으나 디클로로메탄, 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 저해효과가 각각 $89\%$, $86\%$로 매우 높았다. 인체의 결장암세포인 HT-29 세포의 경우, 첨가농도 $200{\mu}g/ml$에서 메탄올 추출물, 디클로로메탄, 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 각각 $84\%$,$91\%$, $71\%$로 암세포 증식을 억제하였다. MC-63 인체의 골육암 세포의 경우, 첨가농도 $200{\mu}g/ml$에서 메탄올 추출물은 $33\%$로 낮은 저해효과를 보였으나 메탄올 추출물의 분획물들 중에는 디클로로메탄 분획물이 $96\%$로 저해효과가 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 에틸아세테이트 분획물이 $71\%$로 암세포 증식을 억제시켰다 된장의 메탄올 추출물 중에서 암세포 증식 억제 효과에서 가장 컸었던 디클로로메탄 분획물과 에틸아세테이트 분획물을 AGS 위암세포에 투여한 2일 후에 세포내의 DNA 합성에 미치는 영향을 측정한 결과, 된장의 디클로로메탄 분획물 $50{\mu}g/ml $, $100{\mu}g/ml$, $200{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 각각 $ 66\%$, $73\%$, $94\%$로 DNA 합성이 감소되었고 된장의 에틸아세테이트 분획물 $50{\mu}g/ml$, $100{\mu}g/ml$,$200{\mu}g/ml $ 농도에서 각각 $57\% $, $93\%$, $95\%$의 DNA 합성 저해효과를 나타내었다. 인체 간암세포의 경우, 된장의 디클로로메탄 분획물은 $200{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 $ 80\% $의 높은 저해효과를 보였고 에틸아세테이트 분획물은$ 200\mug/ml $ 농도에서 $ 64\% $의 저해효과가 나타내었다. 이상의 얻어진 결과로 된장의 메탄올 추출물과 그 분획물은 여러 인체 암세포의 증식을 억제하고 DNA 합성도 저해하여 in vitro 상에서 암예방 효과 및 항암효과가 있는 것으로 추정된다.

The phenethyl ester of caffeic acid (CAPE), an active component of honeybee propolis extract, is shown to inhibit cancer growth previously. However, studies on human ovarian cancer are largely obscure. This study evaluated the effects of CAPE as a potential anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic agent in the human ovarian cancer line, OVCAR-3. CAPE treated OVCAR-3 cells showed inhibition of cell viability and proliferation in a dose-dependent manner by WST-1 assay, LDH assay and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay. Furthermore, CAPE-mediated OVCAR-3 cell growth inhibition was associated with apoptotic changes as evident by cell cycle arrest and accumulation of cells in the apoptotic phase and DNA fragmentation. Taken together, CAPE inhibits cell proliferation via DNA synthesis reduction and induces apoptotic cell death via DNA damage, thus elucidating a novel, plausible mechanism of CAPE anti-tumorigenic property in OVCAR-3 cells.

Inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase-I, rate of glutathione conjugation and cytotoxicity of naphthoquinone derivatives were correlated. During 5 min exposure of the derivatives to glutathione (GSH), it was found that 14% of 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone(DMNQ) was converted into a GSH-conjugate, whereas 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone(DHNQ) did not interact with GSH, implying that DMNQ exerted higher electrophilicity than DHNQ. However, DHNQ (IC$\_$50/, 0.15 ${\mu}$M) showed stronger cytotoxicity in L1210 cells than DMNQ(IC$\_$50/, 0.45 ${\mu}$M). The stronger cytotoxicity of DHNQ, compared to DMNQ, could be ascribed to more rapid redox cycling. Both naphthoquinones (IC$\_$50/, 60-65 ${\mu}$M) exhibiting about the same inhibitory effect on DNA topoisomerase-I were more potent than 1,4-naphthoquinone(1,4-NQ, IC$\_$50/, 134 ${\mu}$M). Thus, 5,8-oxy groups in the structure seem to be important for the inhibition of the enzyme. DMNQ showed a broader dose range while maintaining a good antitumor activity against S-180 fluid tumor. For these reasons, DMNQ was taken as useful pharmacophore for structural modification. Introduction of 1-hydroxyalkyl groups at C-2 of DMNQ lowered all of the activities mentioned above, while acetylation of 1-hydroxyalkyl moiety enhanced the activities by 4-5 times. Introduction of the same side chains at C-6 exhibited stronger activities than 2-substituted ones. Based on these results it was suggested that the quinonoid moiety in 6-substituted DMNQ was more exposed to cellular nucleophiles such as DNA, thiols of enzymes and so on. The synthesis of DHNQ or DMNQ derivatives are going on, and the corelationship between structure-activity will be discussed.

In irradiated human lymphocytes, translocation of chromosome has been more frequently observed than dicentric chromosome. Differences in the misrepair process leading to translocation and dicentric chromosomes may explain the above observations. In order to find out whether dicentric and translocation are originated from different mechanism, the frequencies of radiation induced translocation and dicentric in lymphocytes were examined following treatment of irradiated lymphocytes with two DNA repair inhibitors, 3AB for inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis and Ara C for inhibition of DNA-polymerase $\alpha$. Ara C potentiated the frequencies of radiation induced dicentric and translocation. 3AB also potentiated the frequencies of radiation induced dicentric, but not translocation. These results suggest the potential differences in the mechanisms in the formation of translocation and dicentric chromosomes.

본 연구는 된장 메탄올 추출물의 항암효과를 검토하기 위해서 다른 콩 관련 발효식품과 원재료인 콩과 밀가루의 메탄올추출물과 비교하면서 여러 인체 암세포들의 성장 억제 실험과DNA 합성 저해 실험을 행하였다. AGS 인체 위암세포의 경우 첨가농도 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL에서 콩된장과 70% 콩된장 메탄올 추출물은 각각 80%, 78%의 저해효과를 가졌으며 청국장 메탄올 추출물은 65%, 일본의 미소 메탄올 추출물은 54%의 저해효과를 보였다. Hep 3B 인체 간암세포에 대한 증식억제 효과 결과에서도 콩된장과 70% 콩된장의 경우, 첨가농도 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL에서 각각 77%, 73%의 저해효과를 가지는 반면, 청국장, 일본의 미소는 각각 60%, 56%의 억제효과를 보였고 콩과 콩/밀가루의 경우 각각 56%, 40%의 저해효과를 나타내었다. HT-29 인체 대장암세포에서도 이상의 간암, 위암세포의 결과와 유사하게 증식억제효과를 보여 콩된장과 70% 된장 메탄올 추출물이 각각 86%, 87%의 저해효과를 나타내면서 다른 콩관련 발효식품들과 원재료 콩에 비해 큰 활성을 보였다. 또한 DNA 합성 저해 실험에서 AGS 인체 위암세포는 된장 메탄올 추출물 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL 투여시에는 각각 65%, 76%의 DNA 합성 저해 효과가 관찰되었고, 반면 콩의 메탄올 추출물의 경우 첨가농도 100 $\mu$/mL, 200 $\mu$/mL 때 각각 47%, 68%의 DNA 합성 저해 효과를 가졌으며 된장의 경우보다 낮은 저해 효과를 나타내었다. Hep 3B 인체 간암세포는 된장 메탄올 추출물 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL 투여시 각각 43%, 59%의 DNA합성 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 연구 결과들로부터 된장이 다른 콩 발효식품 및 원재료 콩보다 높은 암세포 성장 억제 효과와 DNA 합성 저해 효과를 가지는 것은 콩만으로 3개월 간 발효시킨 된장의 우수성과 함께 발효과정을 거치는 동안 원재료인 콩에서는 없었던 혹은 함량이 적은 성분들이 생성되거나 증가되어 항암효과를 나타내는 것으로 추정되어진다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Loranthus parasiticus Merr. on cell cycle and expression of related genes in HepG2 cells. Methods : The MTT assay, cell counting assay, $[^3H]-Thymidine$ incorporation assay, flow cytometric analysis, quantitative RT-PCR and western blot assay were studied. Results : In the water extract of Loranthus parasiticus Merr., inhibition of cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in HepG2 cells was seen. These inhibitory effects were due to inhibition of G l-S transition in cell cycle. After treatment with the extract, expression of cyclin D1(G1 check point related gene) was inhibited particularly in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. Conclusion : These results suggest that the inhibition of cell cycle progression by Loranthus parasiticus Merr. in HepG2 cell is due to suppression of cyclin D1(G1 check point related gene) mRNA expression and protein synthesis.

Sialic acid containing glycosphingolipids (gangliosides) have been implicated in the regulation of various biological phenomena such as atherosclerosis. Recent report suggeststhat exogenously supplied disialoganglioside (GD3) serves a dual role in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation and apoptosis. However, the role of the GD3 synthase gene in VSMC responses has not yet been elucidated. To determine whether a ganglioside is able to modulate VSMC growth. the effect of overexpression of the GD3 synthase gene on DNA synthesis was examined. The results show that the overexpression of this gene has a potent inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis and ERK phosphorylation in cultured VSMC in the presence of PDGF. The suppression of the GD3 synthase gene was correlated with the down-regulation of cyclinE/CDK2. the up-regulation of the CDK inhibitor p21 and blocking of the p27 inhibition,whereas up-regulation of p53 as the result of GD3 synthase gene expression was not observed. Consistently, blockade of GD3 function with anti-GD3 antibody reversed VSMC proliferation and cell cycle proteins. The expression of the CD3 synthase gene also led to the inhibition of TNF--induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in VSMC as determined by zymography and immunoblot. Furthermore, GD3 synthase gene expression strongly decreased MMP-9 promoteractivlty in response to TNF-. This inhibition was characterized by the down-regulation of MMP-9,which was Iranscriptionally regulated at NF-B and activation protein-1 (AP-1) sites in the MMP-9promoter Finally, the overexpression of MMP-9 in GD3 synthase transfectant cells rescued VSMC proliferation. However MMP-2 overexpression was not affected the cell proliferation. These findings suggest that the fl13 synthase gene represents a physiological modulator of VSMC responses that may contribute to plaque instability in atherosclerosis.

Effects of B(a)P on preimplantation mouse embryos in vitro were studied. Preimplantation mouse embryos were exposed to a concentration of 0.3, 1, 3 and 10 $\mu$M B(a)P for 72 hrs. The toxicological effects of B(a)P were evaluated by morphological observation of embryos up to the blastocyst stage, and by measuring DNA, RNA and protein synthesis by radioactive precursor incorporation. At 1 $\mu$M B(a)P did not affect preimplantation development but interfered with hatching and ICM formation. Suppressing effect of ICM formation was dose dependent. At the eight cell stage, the developmental rate was decreased at above 3 $\mu$M of B(a)P. At the blastocyst stage, attachment and trophoblast outgrowth were diminished at the 10 $\mu$M of B(a)P and ICM formation was decreased at 1 $\mu$M of B(a)P. Inner cell number of blastocyst was decreased dose dependently. So, number of ICM was one of the most sensitive and toxicological end point. The RNA incorporation rate of 0.1 $\mu ^3$H-uridine was dosedependent and the protein incroporation of 0.5 $\mu Ci ^{35}$S-methionine showed a significant decrease after 48 hrs. But the DNA incorporation rate of methyl-$^3$H thymidine was not affected. Our results suggested that B(a)P did not affect the DNA replication but transcription was inhibited by dose dependent manner. There delay of development during the blastocyst stage was mainly due to the inhibition of RNA synthesis followed by protein synthesis.

Eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I (top I) is an essential enzyme that act to relax supercoiled DNA during the transcription, replication and mitosis. Intracellular levels of top I are elevated in a number of human solid tumors, relative to the respective normal tissues, suggesting that controlling the topI level is important to treat cancer. Top I poisons show their antitumor activities by stabilizing the cleavable ternary complex consisting of top I enzyme, DNA, and drug. Thus, top I is a promising target for the development of new cancer chemotherapeutics against a number of solid tumors. (omitted)
