Tumor necrosis ftctor-alpha$(TNF-{\alpha})$는 세포의 고사, 염증 및 면역 등의 다양한 생물학적 기능에 대한 역할을 한다. PTEN 역시 세포의 성장과 증식 그리고 세포의 유주와 분화 등의 세포학적인 다양한 기능을 갖는다 그러므로 이들 두 분자들 사이의 상호관계가 있을 것으로 제안되고 있으며, $TNF-{\alpha}$는 사람의 대장세포 주인 HT-29에서 nuclear factor-kappa $B(NF-{\kappa}B)$ 경로를 통해 PTEN downregulate 기능이 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 저자 등은 본 연구에서 HL-60 cells에서 $TNF-{\alpha}$가 $NF-{\kappa}B$를 통해 PTEN를 upregulates하는 기존의 반대 현상을 확인하였다. $TNF-{\alpha}$는 HL-60 cells에서 time과 dose의존성 방법으로 PTEN 발현을 증가시켰지만 반응은 p65 anisense oligonucleotide 또는 pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC)으로 $NF-{\kappa}B$를 분해함으로 파괴되었다. 따라서 저자 등은 $TNF-{\alpha}$가 $NF-{\kappa}B$경로를 활성화시킴을 확인하였고, $TNF-{\alpha}$를 처리 할 경우 핵에 대하여 p65 전위에 의해 $TNF-{\alpha}$가 활성화됨을 증명하였다. 결국 HL-60세포에서 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성화에 따라 PTEN 발현의 upregulation이 유도되는 것으로 결론지었다.

목적 : 방사선조사에 의한 apoptosis에서 나타나는 각종 세포주기관련 유전자들의 발현 양상을 RNA와 단백 수준에서 분석하여 방사선조사에 의한 apoptosis에서의 세포주기 조절의 변화를 규명함으로서 방사선치료의 기전에 대한 분자생물학적 이해를 도모하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : promyelocytic leukemia 세포주인 HL60 세포주를 배양하여 선형가속기(6MV X-선)로 세포에 8Gy의 방사선을 조사하였다. 조사후 다양한 시간 간격으로 Apoptotic DNA Fragmentation Assay법을 이용하여 apoptosis를 확인하고 동시에 세포주기관련 유전자들(cyclinA, cyclin B, cyclin C, cyclin Dl, cyclin E, cdc2, CDK2, CDK4, $p16^{INK4a}$, $p21^{WAF1}$, $p27^{KIP1}$, E2F, PCNA와 Rb)을 단백질과 RNA 수준에서 분석하기위해 western blot analysis와 반정량적 RT-PCR을 시행하였다. 결과: 8 Gy의 방사선 조사에 의해 HL60세포에서 apoptosis가 관찰 되었다. 방사선 조사군에서 cyclin A단백은 조사후 48시간까지 시간이 갈수록 증가하였으며, cyclin E, E2F, CDK2 및 Rb 단백은 증가되었다가 다시 감소를 보였다. Rb단백의 증가는 대부분 비활성형인 ppRb (phosphorylated Rb protein)의 양적변화에 의한 것이었다. cyclin Dl, PCNA, COC2, CDK4, $p16^{INK4a}$단백은 발현의 차이를 보이지 않았으며 $p21^{WAF1}$과 $p27^{KIP1}$ 단백은 검출되지 않았다. cyclin A, B, C mRNA는 방사선 조사 직후 감소하였다가 12시간부터 발현이 증가되었으며 cyclin Dl mRNA는 조사후 바로 증가하여 48시간에 다시 감소하였다. cyclin E mRNA는 조사 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하였다. CDK2 mRNA는 3시간째는 감소하다가 6시간부터 많은 증가를 보였으며 CDK4 mRNA는 조사후 6-12시간에 급격한 발현증가를 보였다. $p16^{INK4a}$ RNA는 발현의 변화가 없었으며, $p21^{WAF1}$ 및 $p27^{KIP1}$ RNA의 발현은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 미루어볼 때, 방사선 조사에 의한 HL60세포의 apoptosis와 세포의 Gl/S transition는 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 생각되며 Rb단백의 증가와 활성형 Rb단백의 감소 현상도 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. 이는 E2F의 비정상적인 과발현 및 cyclin E/CDK2의 발현 증가와 관련이 있는 것으로 추측된다. 또한 $p21^{WAF1}$ 및 $p27^{KIP1}$는 방사선에 의한 apoptosis에는 관여되지 않는 것으로 사료된다.

1 The present work was performed to investigate the effects of ginsenoside Rh2 on proliferation, cell cycle-regulation and differentiation of human leukemia HL-60 cells as well as the underlying mechanisms for these effects. 2 Ginsenoside Rh2 potently inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells in both a dose- and time-dependent manner with an $IC_{50}$, $20{\mu}M$. 3 DNA flow-cytometry indicated that ginsenoside Rh2 markedly induced a $G_1$ phase arrest of HL-60 cells. 4 Among the $G_1$ phase cell cycle-related proteins, the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase(CDK)4, 6 and cyclin D1, cyclin D2, cyclin D3 were reduced by ginsenoside Rh2, whereas the steadystate levels of CDK2 and cyclin E were unaffected. 5 The protein levels of a CDK inhibitor p16, $p21^{CIP1/WAF1}$ and $p27^{KIP1}$ were markedly increased by ginsenoside Rh2. 6 Ginsenoside Rh2 markedly enhanced the binding of $p21^{CIP1/WAF1}$ and $p27^{KIP1}$ with CDK2 and CDK6, resulting in the reduced activity of both kinases and the hypophosphorylation of Rb protein. 7 We furthermore suggest that ginsenoside Rh2 is a potent inducer of the differentiation of HL-60 cells, based on observations such as a reduction of the nitroblue tetrazolium level, an increase in the esterase activities and phagocytic activity, morphology changes, and the expression of CD11b, CD14, CD64 and CD66b surface antigens. 8 In conclusion, the onset of ginsenoside Rh2-induced the $G_0/G_1$ arrest of HL-60 cells prior to the differentiation is linked to a sharp up-regulation of the $p21^{CIP1/WAF1}$ level and a decrease in the CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 activities. This is the first report demonstrating that ginsenoside Rh2 potently inhibits the proliferation of human promyelocytic HL-60 cells via the $G_1$ phase cell cycle arrest and differentiation induction.

Objective : Hedyotis diffusa has been used as an anticancer agent for several decades in oriental medicine. We test whether the methanol extract of the herb affects transcriptional activation factors including $NF-{\kappa}B$ and AP-1. Methods : 1. HL-60 cells were treated with various concentrations(from 200 to $50{\mu}g/ml$) of methanol extract and $H_2O$ extract($200{\mu}g/ml$)of hedyotis diffusa, After 48h later, the cells were tested for viability by MTT assay. 2. The HL-60 cells were treated with $200{\mu}g/ml$ of methanol extract for the indicated periods. First. Nuclear extracts were isolated and incubated with oligonucleotide probe of $NF-{\kappa}B$ and AP-1. Second. Nuclear extracts were isolated and reacted with p50, p65. c-rel pan-Jun, c-Jun, JunB. JunD antibody on ice for 30min. Finally The cell lysates were prepared and analyzed by western blotting using anti-Fas, anti-FasL and anti-p53 antibody. Results : 1. The methanol extract decreases the viability of human lymphoid origin leukemia HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. 2. $NF-{\kappa}B$ is rapidly activated by the addition of the methanol extract, reaches a peak at 30min and gradually returns to resting level. We confirm that $NF-{\kappa}B$ is a heterodimer mainly composed of p65 subunit with c-Rel. 3. Transcriptional activation of AP-1 is detected at 30min and reaches a maximum at 1hr after stimulation of the cells with the methanol extract. AP-1 is mainly composed with Jur-D and partially Jug-B proteins. 4. the methanol extract of Hedyotis diffusa induces the expression of Fas, Fas ligand and p53 proteins of HL-60 cells in a time dependent fashion. Conclusions : These results suggest that the methanol extract of Hedyotis diffusa exerts anticancer effects to induce the death of human leukomic HL-60 cells via activation of trascriptional factors such as $NF-{\kappa}B$ and AP-1, increase in expression of Fas mediated signalling proteins, and induction of tumor suppressor gene. p53.

Medicinal plants are potential sources of anticancer agents screening. A large number of phytochemicals, including triterpenoids, have been reported to have significant cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. From the fruits of Ligustrum japonicum Thunb., thirteen triterpenoids (1 - 13) were isolated and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against Hela and HL-60 cells. As results, 8 (oleanolic acid) showed significant effects on Hela with $IC_{50}$ values of $5.5{\mu}M$, and moderate effects on HL-60 cells with $IC_{50}$ values of $55.9{\mu}M$. Meanwhile, 10 (oleanderic acid) and 11 ($3{\beta}$-acetoxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid) exhibited moderate inhibitory effects on Hela with $IC_{50}$ value of 55.0 and $68.8{\mu}M$, respectively. Moreover, 10 showed cytotoxic effect on HL-60 cell line with $IC_{50}$ value of $63.9{\mu}M$. To our knowledge, this is the first report that oleanderic acid was isolated from L. japonicum and investigated in cytotoxic effects on Hela and HL-60 cells.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and fibrous elements in the arteries. Monocytes/macrophages are involved in many aspects of the development of atheroscleotic plaques. It is known that the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expressed preferentially on endothelial cells of atheroscleotic plaque. promotes local adhesion and transendothelial migration of monocytes, neutrophils. and lymphocytes. Using the human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line, we investigated the inhibitory effects of methoanol extracts of 175 plants on ICAM-1/LFA-1 mediated cell adhesion. Eight kinds of methanol extracts of tested plants inhibited PMA-induced homotypic aggregated cell adhesion. Eight kinds of methanol extracts of tested plants inhibited PMA-induced homotypic aggregation of HL-60 cells without cytotoxicity at the concentration of 6.25 ${\mu}$g/ml. $CHCl_3$ extracts (1.0 ${\mu}$g/ml) of Saururus chinensis and Chloranthus japonicus significantly inhibited agregation of HL-60 cells without cytoxicity.

We recently extracted lignans such as matairesinol and 2-hydroxyarctigenin from safflower seeds and found that they exhibit a potent cytotoxic effect on human promyleocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. In this study, we investigated whether mechanisms of the matairesinol-induced cell death are associated with the programmed cell death, apoptosis. Matairesinol dose-dependently reduced viability of HL-60 cells with an IC/sun 50/ value of 60 $\mu$M. Staining of cells with Hoechst 33342 revealed distinct morphological features of apoptosis, such as the nuclei broken into chromatin containing fragments of various sizes in the cells exposed to 100 $\mu$M matairesinol for 24 hr. Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA from the cells treated with matairesinol showed internucleosomal DNA degradation into oligonucleosomal sizes. DNA ladder like patterns were easily detected after treatment with matairesinol concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 $\mu$M after 24 hr. In cells treated with 100 $\mu$M matairesinol for differing time periods, the DNA ladder was detectable from 6 hr onward. A time course histogram of the DNA content analyzed by flow cytometry revealed a rapid increase in subdiploid cells and a concomitant decrease in diploid cells exposed to 100 $\mu$M matairesinol. These results indicate that matairesinol-induced HL-60 cell death was due to the DNA damage and apoptosis.

Camptothecin (CPT) has been known to induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. To examine the intracellular apoptotic death signal initiated by CPT, we investigated the possible connection between caspase-3 activation and GSH depletion during CPT-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Treatment of cells with $1{\;}{\mu}M$ CPT induced PARP cleavage accompanied by DNA fragmentation. z-VAD-fmk, a caspase-3 inhibitor, blocked the CPT-induced DNA fragmentation. Pretreatment of cells with N-acetylcysteine, a precursor of GSH biosynthesis, failed to inhibit CPT-induced PARP celavage and DNA gragmenatation. No significant changes in GSH depletion is not essential for caspase activation during CPT-induced apoptosis. We also investigated whether CPT-induced apoptosis is associated with changes of the levels of Bax and Bcl-2, two proteins involved in the control of apoptosis. Bcl-2 levels exhibited a late decrease compared with the kinetics of DNA fragmentation, whereas Bax levels increased more rapidly after CPT treatment. These results suggest that Bax plays more important role than Bcl-2 in inducing DNA fragmentation and may function upsteam of proteolytic activation of caspase-3 pathway in CPT-induced apoptosis.
