말채나무는 한국의 민간요법으로 사용되던 약재이다. 자외선은 피부의 광손상을 일으키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 자외선에 의한 손상된 세포를 회복시키기 위해서 효소처리 된 말채나무잎추출물(CWE)을 사용하였다. 섬유아세포에 UVB를 조사한 후, CWE를 처리하여 세포의 회복을 조사하였다. UVB를 조사한 섬유아세포에는 caspase-3 활성, phospho-p53, ${\gamma}H2AX$, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) formation, 그리고 DNA fragmentation이 증가하게 된다. 그러나 CWE를 UVB가 조사된 섬유아세포에 12 h 처리하였을 때 caspase-3 활성, phospho-p53, ${\gamma}H2AX$, CPDs formation, 그리고 DNA fragmentation이 감소하였다. 또한 CWE은 인체첩포시험을 통해 인체피부에 자극을 유발하지 않음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 종합할 때 CWE는 자외선에 대한 광보호 효과가 있는 원료로서 가능성을 가지고 있다고 판단된다.

발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 수용성 추출물이 정상 세포주 NIH3T3 mouse normal fibroblast cell 및 인체 종양 세포주 AGS human gastric cancer cell(위암), HCT-15 human colon cancer cell(대장암), Hep3B human hepatoma cancer cell(간암), MCF-7 human breast cancer cell(유방암), HeLa human cervical cancer cell(자궁경부암)에서 MTT(3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay 방법에 의한 세포 증식 억제와 암세포 증식억제의 기전 연구의 일환으로 apoptosis가 일어날 때 나타나는 DNA fragmentation을 agarose gel electrophoresis 방법으로 검토하였다. 인체 종양 세포주의 생육저해 효과가 발효 차가버섯 추출물이 비발효 차가버섯 추출물보다 강한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 동일한 실험조건하에서 마우스 정상 세포주 NIH3T3은 80% 이상의 생존율을 나타내어 정상 세포주에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에서 본 실험에 사용한 세포주 중에서 대장암 세포주 HCT-15에 대해 가장 세포 증식 억제효과가 뛰어났으며, 이러한 효과는 첨가 농도 의존적 이였다. 발효 및 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에 의한 암세포 증식억제가 기전 연구로 apoptosis가 일어날 때 나타나는 DNA fragmentation을 세포로부터 genomic DNA를 분리하여 agarose gel electrophoresis 방법으로 조사한 결과, 정상세포인 NIH3T3 세포는 DNA fragmentation이 거의 일어나지 않아 세포 생존율 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였으나, 특히 대장암 세포주인 HCT-15에서는 발효 차가버섯뿐만 아니라 비발효 차가버섯 추출물에서도 DNA fragmentation이 많이 일어나는 것이 관찰되어 암세포 증식억제 효과가 높다는 결과를 뒷받침 해주고 있다.

Human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines derived from the inner cell mass of human blastocysts have potential to differentiate into any cell types. We have established in vitro neural differentiation of human ES cells. After the formation of embroid bodies (EBs), the differentiating EBs formed neural tube-like rosettes in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The rosettes were selectively isolated by the treatment of dispase and cultured in a medium for human neural precursors in the presence of bFGF. (omitted)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of bleaching agent through the dentinal tubules of cervical area in the intracoronal bleaching of pulpless teeth on cutured fibroblast cells. Extracted human incisors were enlarged to # 40 K-file and obturated with gutta-perella and AH 26 sealer. The gutta-percha was removed to 2mm below the cementoenamel junction of the root The teeth were divided into 3 experimental and control groups. Experimental groups; Experimental group 1: Temporary inlay wax filld with 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity. Experimental group 2: Temporary inlay wax filld with 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity after placement of ZOE cement to cementoenamel junction. Experimental group 3: Temporary inlay wax filld with 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity after application of Copalite to cementoenamel junction. Control group: Temporary inlay wax filled without 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity under the same condition at each experimental group. Each tooth was immersed in well of multidish cultured fibroblast cell for 48 hours. The cellular multiplication and cell viability were calculated at the interval of 1, 3, 5. 7 hours and the morphological changes in well were observed and their photographs were taken with inverted microscope. The obtained results were as follows : CD The cellurar multiplicaton and cell viability decreased in all experimental groups at 1 hour after experiment and the morphology of fibroblast cell was changed from star shape to round (2) The cell viability was lowered to 34 % in experemental group 1, 44 % in experimental group 2, and 38 % in experemental group 3 at 3 hours after experiment (3) The cell multiplication was decreased to 54% in experemental group 1. 47% in experimental group 2, and 40% in experemental group 3 at 7 hours after experiment. (4) The decrease of cell number and morphological changes of fibroblast cell were remarkable in experimental group 1, group 3 and 2 in order. These results suggest that the fibroblast cells receive severe damage by 30% $H_2O_2$ solution leaked through the dentinal tubules and the dentinal tubules are able to be obturated better by ZOE cement than by Copalite.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate antiaging and antioxidant effects on cultured human skin fibroblast with 80% ethanol extracts of plants including of stem of Dendropanax morbifera, Corni fructus and Lycii Fructus. Methods : An ethanol extract of three medicinal plants including stem of Dendropanax morbifera, Corni fructus and Lycii Fructus. Extracts were assessed to determine the mechanism of antioxidant and antiaging activities. Antioxidant activity of extract was evaluated by two different assays as 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and super oxide dismutase (SOD) like activities. These extracts were tested for cell viability on HS68 skin fibroblast by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. We investigated the effects of Ultraviolet-B irradiation on cytotoxicity, type 1 collagen, elastin level and oxidative damage in cultured human skin fibroblast (HS68). Recently, many studies have reported that elastin is also involved in inhibiting or repairing wrinkle formation, although collagen is a major factor in the skin wrinkle formation. Results : The extracts obtained dose-dependently increased the scavenging activity on DPPH radical scavenging activity and SOD like activity. The extracts of complex herbal medicine showed low cytotoxicity as more than 100% cell viability in 100ppm/ml concentration. HS68 fibroblasts were survived 70% at 120 $mJ/cm^2$ UVB irradiation and treated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. The levels of aging factors and cytotoxicity were decreased by ethanol extract of complex herbal medicine. Conclusions : These results suggest that ethanol extracts of complex medicinal plants of including of stem of Dendropanax morbifera, Corni fructus and Lycii Fructus may have value as the potential antioxidant and antiaging medicinal plant.

The primary culture of human nasal epithelial cells was performed using the inferior nasal turbinate tissues, and infected with Hantaan virus to examine the hypothesis of airborne transmission of Hantaan virus in humans. The primary culture cells were identified as epithelial cells by morphologic and immunologic analyses. The viral antigens were detected in the primary human nasal epithelial cells infected with Hantaan virus by immunofluorescence staining. The ICAM-1 induction by Hantaan virus or $IFN-{\gamma}$ was examined in the primary human nasal epithelial cells and human lung fibroblasts (WI-38). Hantaan virus induced the surface ICAM-1 in WI-38 cells in a time-dependent manner, and $IFN-{\gamma}$ induced the surface ICAM-1 in a dose-dependent manner in HNEC and WI-38 cells. These results revealed that the human nasal epithelial cells are susceptible to Hantaan viral infection supporting the hypothesis of airborne transmission of Hantaan virus in humans. The human lung fibroblasts also might have an important role in the pathogenesis of Hantaan virus through the induction of ICAM-1.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure is a risk factor for skin damage resulting in oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) to improve its biological activities using a three-step steaming process. We investigated the protective effects of PG and steamed PG extracts on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) against UVB radiation-induced oxidative stress and inflammation as well as the underlying mechanisms. The antioxidant potential of the PG extracts was evaluated by measuring the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) scavenging activity. ABTS and DPPH were shown by the 0, 30, and 70% ethanol extracts of 2S-PG and 3S-PG ($IC_{50}$, 28~45 and $27{\sim}30{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). Treatment of UVB-irradiated cells with steamed PG ($25{\sim}400{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect their viability. The streamed PG extract suppressed UVB-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, streamed PG extract reduced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression in UVB-irradiated HDF, regulating nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$ expression. These findings suggest that steamed PG extract may be potentially effective against inflammation associated with UVB-induced oxidation stress.

Increased exposure of human to RF fields has raised concerns for its potential adverse effects on our health. To address the biological effects of RF radiation, we used genome wide gene expression as the indicator. We exposed normal WI-38 human fibroblast cells to 1763 MHz mobile phone RF radiation at a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 60 W/kg with an operating cooling system for 24 h. There were no alterations in cell numbers or morphology after RF exposure. Through microarray analysis, we identified no differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the 0.05 significance level after controlling for multiple testing errors with the Benjaminiochberg false discovery rate (BH FDR) method. Meanwhile, 82 genes were differentially expressed between RF-exposed cells and controls when the significance level was set at 0.01 without correction for multiple comparisons. We found that 24 genes (0.08% of the total genes examined) were changed by more than 1.5-fold on RF exposure. However, significant enrichment of any gene set or pathway was not observed from the functional annotation analysis. From these results, we did not find any evidence that non-thermal RF radiation at a 60-W/kg SAR significantly affects cell proliferation or gene expression in WI-38 cells.
