  • 본 연구는 오디씨 에탄올 추출물(MSE)의 멜라닌 합성 저해 효과를 밝히는 것이다. 먼저 MSE의 melan-a 세포를 이용한 멜라닌 합성 저해 실험결과, 독성을 보이지 않는 $10{\mu}g/mL$의 농도까지 멜라닌 합성 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) 단백질의 발현이 저해되었으며, extracelluar signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)의 발현을 농도 의존적으로 증가시키는 MSE의 기전을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 제브라피쉬를 이용한 in vivo 모델의 실험에서도 색소 발생이 저해됨을 관찰하였다. 따라서 오디씨로 부터 획득한 에탄올 추출물이 ERK 단백질의 발현으로 인해 멜라닌 생합성을 억제할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

  • Exogenous stimuli such as nerve growth factor (NGF) exert their effects on neurite outgrowth via Trk neurotrophin receptors. TrkA receptors are known to be ubiquitinated via proteasome inhibition in the presence of NGF. However, the effect of proteasome inhibition on neurite outgrowth has not been studied extensively. To clarify these issues, we investigated signaling events in PC12 cells treated with NGF and the proteasome inhibitor MG132. We found that MG132 facilitated NGF-induced neurite outgrowth and potentiated the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways and TrkA receptors. MG132 stimulated internalization of surface TrkA receptor and stabilized intracellular TrkA receptor, and the $Ub^{K63}$ chain was found to be essential for stability. These results indicate that the ubiquitin-proteasome system potentiated neurite formation by regulating the stability of TrkA receptors.

  • Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a well-known mitogen in various cell types. However, we were surprised to find that LPA inhibits melanocyte proliferation. Thus, we further investigated the possible signaling pathways involved in melanocyte growth inhibition. We first examined the regulation of the three major subfamilies of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and of the Akt pathway by LPA. The activations of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) were observed in concert with the inhibition of melanocyte proliferation by LPA, whereas p38 MAP kinase and Akt were not influenced by LPA.

  • Cyclase-associated protein 2 (CAP2) has been addressed as a candidate biomarker in various cancer types. Previously, we have shown that CAP2 is expressed during multi-step hepatocarcinogenesis; however, its underlying mechanisms in liver cancer cells are not fully elucidated yet. Here, we demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced CAP2 expression, and which promoted migration and invasion of liver cancer cells. We also found that the ER stress-induced CAP2 expression is mediated through activation of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) and the promotor binding of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2). In addition, we further demonstrated that CAP2 expression promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through activation of Rac1 and ERK. In conclusion, we suggest that ER stress induces CAP2 expression promoting EMT in liver cancer cells. Our results shed light on the novel functions of CAP2 in the metastatic process of liver cancer cells.

  • Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) results in cell death by activation of complex signal pathways for cell death and survival. Hypothermia is a robust neuroprotectant, and its effect has often been attributed to various mechanisms, but it is not yet clear. Upstream from the cell death promoters and executioners are several enzymes that may activate several transcription factors involved in cell death and survival. In this study, we immunohistochemically examined the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 kinase during early period of the ischemic injury, following 2 hours (h) of transient MCAO. Increased phosphorylation of ERK and p38 was observed in the vessels at 3 h, neuron-like cells at 6 and 12 h and glia-like cells at 12 h. Activation of JNK was not remarkable, and a few cells showed active JNK following ischemia. Phosphorylation of Elk-1, a transcription factor, was reduced by ischemic insult. Hypothermia attenuated the activation of ERK, p38 and JNK, and inhibited reduction of Elk-1. These data suggest that signals via different MAPK family members converge on the cell damage process and hypothermia protects the brain by interfering with these pathways.

  • Achyranthoside C dimethyl ester (ACDE)는 우슬에서 분리한 oleanolic acid glycoside이다. 본 연구에서는 RAW264.7 대식세포에서 ACDE의 항염증 효과를 관찰하고 그 작용 기전을 연구하였다. ACDE는 세포에 독성을 유도하지 않으면서 heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)의 발현을 유도하였다. ACDE 는 HO-1의 발현에 관여하는 전사인자인 nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)를 핵으로 이동시켰다. 또한 ACDE에 의한 HO-1의 발현은 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) 및 mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) 억제제에 의해 감소되었으며, ACDE가 Akt, c-Jun kinase (JNK), extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), p38 kinase의 인산화를 유도하였다. 한편 ACDE는 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 인한 nitric oxide (NO)의 생성과 inducible NO synthase (iNOS) 발현을 억제하였으며 HO-1 siRNA를 처리했을 때 ACDE가 iNOS의 발현을 억제하지 못하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, ACDE는 대식세포에서 PI3K/Akt 및 MAPK와 Nrf2 신호전달과정을 통해 HO-1의 발현을 유도함으로써 NO와 같은 염증매개물질의 생성을 억제한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 ACDE가 항염증제로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Membrane associated guanylate kinase inverted-3 (MAGI-3)는 세포-세포 연접의 형성을 유도하는 막단백질인 membrane associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs)의 한 종류 단백질로 140 kDa 크기를 가진다. MAGI-3는 PTEN/MMAC와 함께 협력하여 AKT/PKB의 kinase 활성을 조절하거나 MAPKs 신호전달경로로 ERK 활성을 조절로 한다. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)는 가장 일반적으로 감염된 심근 세포 사멸으로 인한 바이러스성 심근염을 일으키는 enterovirus에 속하는 인간 병원체이다. 이전 연구에서 protein kinase B (PKB, 또는 AKT)와 extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2)의 활성은 HeLa 세포에서 CVB3 복제를 위해 필수적임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서 enterovirus 복제와 AKT 신호 활성조절에서 MAGI-3의 역할을 검증하였다. MAGI-3-Flag의 발현은 CVB3 감염 후에 AKT 신호 활성과 viral capsid protein VP1의 발현을 유도하였으며 이는 MAGI-3에 의한 enterovirus 증식 조절을 보여주었다. AKT 신호는 MAGI-3 발현에 의해 enterovirus 감염과 함께 유의하게 증가하고 이것은 감염 바이러스의 증식을 활발하게 유도함을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 MAGI-3의 발현은 AKT와 ERK의 활성이 증가하고, 더 나아가 바이러스 증식과 연관이 있다는 것을 입증한다. MAGI-3는 아마도 AKT 신호 조절을 통해 enterovirus 증식 조절에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • 석곡의 줄기는 전통 동양의학에서 위를 보하고, 진액을 보충하며, 열을 내리는 것에 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 RBL-2H3 세포에서 비만세포 탈과립과 TNF-α, IL-4, histidine decarboxylase (HDC) 발현에 미치는 석곡 열수추출물(DME)의 효과를 조사하였다. DME는 PMA와 Calcium ionophore 병행처리(PMACI)에 의해 유도되는 β-hexosaminidase 분비와 TNF-α, IL-4, HDC 발현을 현저히 억제하였다. 또한 PMACI에 의해 유도되는 NF-κB, AP-1 활성과 p38 kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)과 c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)의 인산화가 DME 전처리에 의해 저해되었다. 이러한 결과들은DME가 비만세포 탈과립을 억제하고, MAPKs/NF-κB/AP-1 신호전달 경로를 통해 TNF-α, IL-4, HDC 발현을 억제한다는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구결과들로 보아 DME는 과민반응과 염증성 질환을 치료하는 약물로 개발될 가능성을 가지는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Using murine immortalized microglial cells (BV-2), we examined the regulation of RANTES production stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), focusing on the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B.$ The result showed that RANTES (regulated upon activation of normal T cell expressed and secreted) was induced at the mRNA and protein levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner in response to LPS. From investigations of second messenger pathways involved in regulating the secretion of RANTES, we found that LPS induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk), p38 MAPK and c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK), and activated $(NF)-{\kappa}B.$ To determine whether this MAPK phosphorylation is involved in LPS-stimulated RANTES production, we used specific inhibitors for p38 MAPK and Erk, SB 203580 and PD 98059, respectively. LPS-induced RANTES production was reduced approximately 80% at $25\;{\mu}M$ of SB 203580 treatment. But PD 98059 did not affect RANTES production. Pyrrolidine-dithiocarbamate (PDTC), $(NF)-{\kappa}B$ inhibitor, reduced RANTES secretion. These results suggest that LPS-induced RANTES production in microglial cells (BV-2) is mainly mediated by the coordination of p38 MAPK and $(NF)-{\kappa}B$ cascade.
