Intestinal absorption of dietary taurine is one of the regulatory component maintaining taurine homeostasis along with renal reabsorption, bile acid conjugation and secretion, and de nobo synthesis of taurine in mammals. Recent observations of decreased enterocytic levels of taurine in response to trauma, infection and surgical insults, postulate the possibility that intestinal taurine absorption might be impaired in such stressed conditions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate changes in enterocytic taurine transporter activity using the human intestinal colon carcinoma cell line, HT-29, in various stress-induced conditions. Pretreatment of the HT-29 cells with dexamethasone, a stress hormone(0.1,1,10 or 100$\mu$M) for 3 hrs, or with E coli heat-stable enterotoxin(10, 100, or 200nM) for 30 minutes in order to induce the condition of enterotoxigenic infection did not influence taurine uptake as compared to the value found in control cells. In contrast, pretreatment of the cells with cholera toxin(10, 100, 500, or 1000ng/ml)for 3hr or 24hr significantly decreased taurine uptake by HT-29 cells to 40~50% of the value found in untreated control cells. Kinetic studies of the taurine transporter activity were conducted in control and cholera toxin treated HT-29 cells with varying taurine concentrations(2~60$\mu$M) in the uptake medium. Pretreatment of the cells with cholera toxin(100ng/ml) for 3hr did not influence the Vmax, but resulted in a 55% increase in the Michaelis-Menten constant(Km) of the taurine transporter compared to those in control cells. These results suggest that cholera toxin-induced reduction in taurine transporter activity in HT-29 cells is associated with decreased affinity of the taurine transporter without altering the amount of transporter protein. Intestinal taurine absorption appears to be reduced in the condition of water-borne diseases caused by bacteria such as V. cholerae. This might influence the taurine status of infants and young children more readily, an age group in which the prevalence of intestinal infection is high and the role of intestinal absorption is crucial for maintaining the body taurine pool.

Resveratrol, natural polyphenol in grapes and red wine, is known to have the anti-proliferatory and anti-angiogenic effects in various cancer cells. In this study, we have investigated the effects of resveratrol in HT-29 colon cancer cells. Treatment of resveratrol in different concentrations and time inhibited proliferation of HT-29 colon cancer cells. We explored the effects of resveratrol on HT-29 colon cancer cell motility using a wound healing assay. In the absence of the resveratrol, the HT-29 cells are migrated along the edges of the wound and showed a large-scale migration, whereas dose- and time-dependent inhibition of cell flattening and spreading was observed in the presence of resveratrol. Resveratrol inhibited MMP-9 in a dose- and time-dependent on HT-29 colon cancer cells by Western blotting. In addition, resveratrol increased AMPK activity and decreased COX-2, VASP and VEGF expression. Treatment of compound C inhibited AMPK activity, however, the expression of VASP and COX-2 increased thus, COX-2 and VASP are modulated by AMPK. However treatment of celecoxib could not control AMPK activity but decreased VEGF expression. We suggest that resveratrol inhibits cell proliferation and migration through activation of AMPK and decreased COX-2, VASP and VEGF expression in HT-29 colon cancer cells.

Carotenoids는 항암 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나 각각의 carotenoids가 대장암에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 명확하게 밝혀진 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 4가지 종류의 carotenoids가 인간의 대장에서 유래한 암세포인 HT-29 세포의 증식에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $\alpha$-carotene, $\beta$-carotene, lutein lycopene을 농도를 달리 하여 세포 배양액 에 첨가하여 살아있는 세포의 수를 측정한 결과 $\beta$-carotene는 세포의 증식을 다소 증가시키는 반면 $\alpha$-carotene, lutein, lcopene은 세포의 증식을 감소하였다. 세포의 증식을 억제한 carotenoids 중에서 lycopene이 그 효과가 가장 컸다. ErbB receptor family는 세포의 증식을 촉진하고 대장암에서 그 발현이 증가된 것으로 보고되었기 때문에 lycopene이 heregulin-ErbB3 signaling을 억제하는지를 조사하였다. Lycopene는 ErbB2 단백질을 감소하였고 ErbB3 단백질의 변화를 초래하였다. Heregulin을 첨가하여 인산화를 유도한 경우 ErbB3의 인산화, ErbB3와 p85의 결합, Akt 인산화가 lycopene에 의해 억제되었다. 이 결과들은 carotenoids 중 lycopene이 대장암 세포 증식 억제 효과가 가장 크고, 대장암 세포의 DNA 합성을 억제하고 apoptosis를 유도하는 lycopene효과의 일부는 Erb-B3와 Akt의 인산화 감소에 기인하는 것임을 나타낸다.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common lethal cancer types worldwide. In recent years, widespread and large-scale studies have been done on medicinal plants for anti-cancer effects, including Glycyrrhiza glabra. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an ethanol extract Glycyrrhiza glabra on the expression of HSP90, growth and apoptosis in the HT-29 colon cancer cell line. HT-29 cells were treated with different concentrations of extract (50,100,150, and $200{\mu}g/ml$). For evaluation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, we used MTT assay and flow cytometry technique, respectively. RT-PCR was also carried out to evaluate the expression levels of HSP90 genes. Results showed that Glycyrrhiza glabra inhibited proliferation of the HT-29 cell line at a concentration of $200{\mu}g/ml$ and this was confirmed by the highest rate of cell death as measured by trypan blue and MTT assays. RT-PCR results showed down-regulation of HSP90 gene expression which implied an ability of Glycyrrhiza glabra to induce apoptosis in HT-29 cells and confirmed its anticancer property. Further studies are required to evaluate effects of the extract on other genes and also it is necessary to make an extensive in vivo biological evaluation and subsequently proceed with clinical evaluations.

In the present study, effects of $\beta$-alanine, a known taurine antagonist for its structural similarity, on the adaptive regulation and kinetic behavior of the taurine transporter were investigated in the HT-29, human colon carcinoma cell line. Pretreatment of the cell with $\beta$-alanine(10mM) for varying periods from 3 to 30 hrs significantly reduced the taurine uptake compared to the value for control cells. This decrease in the taurine transporter activity was dependent on the incubation time with $\beta$-alanine, and the maximal down-regulation of the transporter activity was observed in cells pretreated with $\beta$-alanine for 24 hrs (25% of the control value, p<0.01). The taurine transporter appears to bind exclusively with $\beta$-alanine in the HT-29 cells since the same concentration of $\alpha$-alanine added in the culture medium for 24 hrs did not influence the taurine uptake. Kinetic analyses of the taurine transporter activity was performed in the HT-29 cell line with varying taurine concentration (5~60$\mu$M) in the uptake medium. Active taurine uptake was significantly lower in $\beta$-alanine pretreated cells compared to the value for control cells in the range of taurine concentration used in the experiment (p<0.001). The cells pretreated with $\beta$-alanine showed a 50% lower maximal velocity (Vmax, 1.7$\pm$2.0 nmole.mg $protein^{-1}$.$30min^{-1}$), and a 99% higher Michaelis constant (Km, 40.3$\pm$7.6$\mu$M) than the control values (3.3$\pm$1.9 nmole.mg $protein^{-1}$.$30min^{-1}$, and 20.3$\pm$2.1$\mu$M, respectively). These results on kinetic data suggest that $\beta$-alanine induced down-regulation of the taurine transporter activity was associated with decreases in both maximal velocity and affinity of the transporter.

인삼과 계피 추출물의 인체 직장암 세포(HT-29), 인체 간암 세포(HepG2)및 인체 결장암 세포(HRT-18)의 증식에 미치는 영향을 in vitro에서 확인하였다. 암세포의 배양액에서 인삼 추출물 또는 계피 추출물의 효과는 농도에 비례하여 암세포의 증식을 억제하였다. 세포증식의 억제 정도는 인삼과 계피 추출물을 단독으로 첨가한 것보다 병용하여 첨가한 경우 현저한 상승 효과를 나타내어, 낮은 인삼 농도에서도 HT-29, HepG2및 HRT-18암세포의 증식을 효과적으로 억제하였으며 심지어는 사멸시켰다. 인삼과 계피의 혼합물은 세포주기 중 G1 단계에서 S단계로의 진행을 지체시킴으로써 암세포의 증식을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 여러 종류의 질병에 약리 효과가 있다고 알려진 버섯류 중 표고버섯과 새송이 버섯을 택하여 열수추출하고 이 추출물을 인간의 대장암 세포인 HT-29및 Caco-2와 한국인 위암세포인 SNU484에 첨가한 후 세포증식과 세포사멸을 이끄는 caspase-3 활성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대장암 세포인 H-'29와 Caco-2에 표고버섯과 새송이버섯 추출물을 첨가한 결과 대조군에 비하여 유의 적으로 세포 수가 감소하였으며 첨가량이 많아질수록 유의적으로 세포증식이 더 억제되었다. 표고버섯과 새송이버섯을 HT-29에 첨가 후 배양시간에 따른 세포증식 억제효과를 살펴보았더니 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 세포증식이 억제되는 경향을 나타내었으며 특히 96시간의 처리에 HT-29증식이 매우 억제됨을 볼 수가 있었다. 세포의 caspase-3활성을 측정한 결과 표고버섯과 새송이버섯을 48 mg/mL 이 상의 농도로 첨가하였을 때 2배 이상 casuase-3 활성이 증가였으므로 알에서 본 HT-29세포의 증식억제는 세포사멸의 증가에 기인한다고 짐작된다. 위 암세포인 SNU484에 표고버섯과 새송이버섯을 첨가한 경우에는 세포증식의 억제효과가 없었을 뿐만 아니라 caspase-3 활성도 유의하게 증가하지는 않았다. 즉 위암에는 이 두 종류의 버섯은 효능이 없음을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 표고버섯과 새송이버섯은 caspase-3 활성 을 증가 시켜 대장암세포의 증식을 억제하므로 대장암에 대한 항암 물질로 개발할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다

The present study was designed to investigate the antiproliferative activity and molecular mechanisms of Bibimbap in HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Bibimbap extract inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 cells by 50% at a concentration of 10.1±0.17 mg/mL for 48 h. The population of live cells decreased slightly, and the morphology changed with a reduction in cell volume (pyknosis) with Bibimbap. Treatment with 5 mg/mL of Bibimbap resulted in slight cell shrinkage. Furthermore, as the Bibimbap dose increased to 10 mg/mL, these characteristics were more evident, and HT-29 cells exhibited partial detachment by staining with the DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33342. Flow cytometric analysis by Annexin V and PI double staining showed that Bibimbap increased the levels of apoptosis. Analysis of the mechanism of these events showed that Bibimbap-treated cells exhibited a mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway through the modulation of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and poly-ADP ribose polymerase, as well as Bax and Bcl-2 expression in dose- and time-dependent manners. Consequently, Bibimbap exerts a significant antiproliferative effect on HT-29 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.

In the present study, we determined the effect of $18{\beta}$-glycyrrhetinic acid ($18{\beta}$-GA) in the mice model bearing xenografts of HT-29 human colon cancer cell line. Data from the cytotoxicity assay displayed that $18{\beta}$-GA induced cell death in HT-29. The cytotoxicity was enhanced as the $18{\beta}$-GA treatment was prolonged. In case of 72 hrs treatment, $LD_{50}$ of $18{\beta}$-GA was approximately $90{\mu}M$, and the efficacy at $100{\mu}M$ of $18{\beta}$-GA appeared to be equivalent to that of doxorubicin at $1{\mu}M$. Based on the in vitro data, we tested the anti-tumor effect of $18{\beta}$-GA in thymic mice (Balb/c strain). Xenograft tumors were generated by subcutaneous injection of HT-29 ($3{\times}10^6cells/mouse$) to mice and the mice were treated intraperitoneally with $18{\beta}$-GA ($50{\mu}g/time/mouse$) every other day for 4 times. The tumor volumes were measured for a period of 14 days. Data displayed that the $18{\beta}$-GA treatment reduced the tumor volumes (P < 0.05) as compared to control mice. However, this activity was demolished when athymic mice (Balb/c nu/nu) were used instead of thymic mice. This observation appeared that T lymphocyte played an important role in the anti-tumor activity. In conclusion, our results indicate that $18{\beta}$-GA has anti-tumor activity in HT-29 tumor-bearing mice, which may be associated with T cells.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the potential effect of wheat phytase on long-chain inorganic polyphosphate (polyP)-mediated interleukin 8 (IL-8) signaling in an intestinal epithelial cell line, HT-29 cells. Methods: Cell viability and the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 in HT-29 cells exposed to polyP1150 (average of 1,150 phosphate residues) treated with or without wheat phytase were measured by the EZ-CYTOX kit and the IL-8 ELISA kit, respectively. Also, the activation of cellular inflammatory factors NF-κB and MAPK (p38 and ERK 1/2) in HT-29 cells was investigated using ELISA kits. Results: PolyP1150 negatively affected the viability of HT-29 cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, 100 mM polyP1150 dephosphorylated by wheat phytase increased cell viability by 1.4-fold over that of the intact substrate. Moreover, the 24 h exposure of cells to enzyme-treated 50 mM polyP1150 reduced the secretion of IL-8 and the activation of NF-κB by 9% and 19%, respectively, compared to the intact substrate. PolyP1150 (25 and 50 mM) dephosphorylated by the enzyme induced the activation of p38 MAPK via phosphorylation to 2.3 and 1.4-fold, respectively, compared to intact substrate, even though it had little effect on the expression of ERK 1/2 via phosphorylation. Conclusion: Wheat phytase could attenuate polyP1150-induced IL-8 release in HT-29 cells through NF-κB, independent of MAP kinases p38 and ERK. Thus, wheat phytase may alleviate inflammatory responses including hypercytokinemia caused by bacterial polyP infection in animals. Therefore, wheat phytase has the potential as an anti-inflammatory therapeutic supplement in animal husbandry.
