Several features of the implant surface, such as roughness, topography, and composition play a relevant role in implant integration with bone. This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of various thin layer hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on anodized Ti surfaces on the biological responses of a human osteoblast-like cell line (MG63). MG63 cells were cultured on A (100 nm HA coating on anodized surface), B (500-700 nm HA coating on anodized surface), C ($1{\mu}m$ HA coating on anodized surface), and control (non HA coating on anodized surface) Ti. The morphology of these cells was assessed by SEM. The cDNAs prepared from the total RNAs of the MG63 were hybridized into a human cDNA microarray (1,152 elements). The appearances of the surfaces observed by SEM were different on each of the four dental substrate types. MG63 cells cultured on A, C and control exhibited cell-matrix interactions. It was B surface showing cell-cell interaction. In the expression of several genes were up-, and down-regulated on the different surfaces. The attachment and expression of key osteogenic regulatory genes were enhanced by the surface morphology of the dental materials used.

Objectives : This study was performed to examine the effect of Yukmigiwhang-tang kamibang, a mixture of oriental herbal extracts, on the transcription of bone fonnation genes, BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4) and TG2 (transglutaminase-2). Methods : Bone-related cells, MG-63 (human male osteosarcoma), HOS-TE85 (human female osteosarcoma), and KG-l (bone marrow) were cultured with portions of Yukmigiwhang-tang kamibang and the transcription activities of bone-related genes, BMP4 (bone morphogenetic protein 4) and TG2 (transglutaminase-2), were determined by Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Results : Transcription of BMP4 gene in HOS-TE85 cell increased up to 40% at 0.3% (v/v) of Yukmigiwhang- tang kamibang extract and that of TG2 gene in MG-63 cells also increased up to 40% at 0.3-0.4% of the same extract. Although it was less significant when compared to those in other cells, the transcription of BMP4 gene in KG-l cells also increased up to 10 to 25%. Conclusions : These results clearly demonstrated that Yukmigiwhang-tang kamibang have an effect on transcription activity of bone-related genes, TG2 and BMP4, suggesting that it may play an important role in bone formation.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy of bone, and patients often develop pulmonary metastasis. The mechanisms underlying osteosarcoma metastasis remain to be elucidated. Recently, anti-inflammatory agents were shown to be useful in the treatment of tumor progression. We previously isolated a natural anti-inflammatory peptide from the seahorse Hippocampus kuda bleeler. Here, we examined the antitumor metastatic activity of this peptide and investigated its mechanism. The peptide significantly inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced invasive migration of human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells. Its inhibitory effect on invasive migration was associated with reduced expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP1 and MMP2). In addition, TPA stimulation increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and small GTPase Rac1 expression, whereas the peptide decreased ROS generation and Rac1 activation. Taken together, these results suggest that the peptide inhibits invasive migration of MG-63 osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting MMP1 and MMP2 expression through downregulation of Rac1-ROS signaling.

Background and Objectives: The role of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) signaling on osteoblastic differentiation is still undetermined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-azacytidine) on TSH-mediated regulations of osteoblasts. Materials and Methods: MG63, a human osteoblastic cell-line, was treated with 5-azacytidine before inducing osteogenic differentiation using osteogenic medium (OM) containing L-ascorbic acid and ${\beta}$-glyceophosphate. Bovine TSH or monoclonal TSH receptor stimulating antibody (TSAb) was treated. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses or measurement of alkaline phosphatase activities were performed for evaluating osteoblastic differentiation. Results: Studies for osteogenic-related genes or alkaline phosphatase activity demonstrated that treatment of TSH or TSAb alone had no effects on osteoblastic differentiation in MG63 cells. However, treatment of 5-azacytidine, per se, significantly increased osteoblastic differentiation and combination treatment of 5-azacytidine and TSH or TSAb in the condition of OM showed further significant increase of osteoblastic differentiation. Conclusion: Stimulating TSH signaling has little effects on osteoblastic differentiation in vitro. However, in the condition of epigenetic modification using inhibitor of DNA methylation, TSH signaling positively affects osteoblastic differentiation in human osteoblasts.

The cytotoxic effects of partially purified substances from Bacillus polylfermenticus SCD toward a variety tumor cell lines were studied. Cytotoxic activity was determined with regard to the A549 (human lung carcinoma), AGS (human stomach adenocarcinoma), DLD-1 (human colon adenocarcinoma), HEC-1-B (human uterus adenocarcinoma), SW-156 (human kidney carcinoma), and NIH/3T3 (murine normal fibroblast) cell lines using the MTT assay. Cytotoxic substances were partially purified through Diaion HP-20 columns and extracted with methanol or other organic solvents (n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol). B. polyfermenticus SCD supernatant showed up to 60% inhibition of cell viability fer all five human cancer cell lines tested. When treated with 10 mg/mL of n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol extract, HEC-1-B cells showed a 25,62,35, and 63% rate of inhibition respectively, and AGS cells showed a 72, 61, 44, and 67% rate of inhibition, respectively. At a concentration of 10 mg/mL, 100% methanol Diaion HP-20 extracts showed inhibition rates of 97.0% toward A-549 cells, 98.1% toward AGS cells, 81.6% toward DLD-1 cells, 83.5% toward HEC-1-B cells, and 92.7% toward SW-156 cells. These results indicate that partially purified fractions from B. polyfermenticus SCD have the potential to inhibit not only colon cancer cells, but also lung, stomach uterus, and kidney cancer cells. Further studies are needed to characterize the cytotoxic substances released in B. polyfermenticus SCD cultures.

Backgroud and Aims: MicroRNA-206 has proven to be down-regulated in many human malignancies in correlation with tumour progression. Our study aimed to characterize miR-206 contributions to initiation and malignant progression of human osteosarcoma. Methods: MiR-206 expression was detected in human osteosarcoma cell 1ine MG63, human normal osteoblastic cell line hFOB 1.19, and paired osteosarcoma and normal adjacent tissues from 65 patients using quantitative RT-PCR. Relationships of miR-206 levels to clinicopathological characteristics were also investigated. Moreover, miR-206 mimics and negative control siRNA were transfected into MG63 cells to observe effects on cell viability, apoptosis, invasion and migration. Results: We found that miR-206 was down-regulated in the osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and primary tumor samples, and decreased miR-206 expression was significantly associated with advanced clinical stage, T classification, metastasis and poor histological differentiation. Additionally, transfection of miR-206 mimics could reduce MG-63 cell viability, promote cell apoptosis, and inhibit cell invasion and migration. Conclusions: These findings indicate that miR-206 may have a key role in osteosarcoma pathogenesis and development. It could serve as a useful biomarker for prediction of osteosarcoma progression, and provide a potential target for gene therapy.

본 연구에서는 식물 종자들 중에서 특히 $\alpha$-linolenic acid의 급원으로 대표적인 아마씨와 들깨를 중심으로 Ames 실험을 이용한 돌연변이 유발 및 인체 암세포 증식 억제 효과에 대해 비교 검토하였다. 간접돌연변이 $AFB_1$ (0.7 mg/plate)에 대해 들깨 메탄올 추출물은 농도의 증가와 더불어 돌연변이 억제효과가 증가하였다. 첨가농도 2.5 및 5 mg/plate일 때 각각 86% 및 94%의 돌연변이 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 아마씨 메탄올 추출물의 경우도 첨가농도 2.5 및 5 mg/plate일 때 각각 74% 및 75%의 항돌연변이 효과를 보였다. 직접 돌연변이인 MNNG (0.6 mg/plate)에 대한 들깨 및 아마씨 메탄올 추출물의 항돌연변이성 실험을 한 결과, 첨가농도 1.25 mg/plate일 때부터 활성이 나타나 5 mg/plate 일 때는 각각 78, 63%의 돌연변이 억제 효과를 나타내었다. S. typhimurium TA100 균주에 대한 $AFB_1$과 MNNG의 돌연변이 유발실험에서 두 가지 종자인 들깨와 아마씨는 직접돌연변이원에 대해서보다는 간접돌연변이원에 의해 유발된 돌연변이 저해에 더 효과적이었으며 들깨에 의한 항돌연변이 효과가 더 우수하였음을 관찰할 수가 있었다. 한편, 아마씨 메탄올 추출물을 0.5, 1, 2 mg/ml의 농도별로 인체 위암세포(AGS)에 처리했을 때 농도 의존적으로 암세포 증식 억제 효과가 증가하여 1 mg/ml 첨가농도에서 64%의 암세포 성장 억제 효과를 보였고, 2 mg/ml 농도에서 79%의 높은 암세포 증식 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 들깨 메탄올 추출물의 경우도 아마씨 메탄올 추출물과 유사하게 농도의존적으로 암세포의 증식을 억제시켰으며 첨가농도 2 mg/ml일 때 68%의 증식 억제효과를 살펴 볼 수가 있었다. 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)의 경우, AGS 세포에 처리했을 때처럼 아마씨 메탄올 추출물은 첨가농도 0.5 mg/ml에서부터 활성을 타나내어 첨가농도 2 mg/ml에서는 72%의 암세포 증식 억제효과를 나타내었다. 들깨 메탄올 추출물의 경우 첨가농도 0.5 mg/ml에서는 43%의 억제효과를 나타내었으나 첨가농도 2 mg/ml에서는 64%로 결장암세포의 증식을 억제시켰다. 인체 간암세포(Hep 3B)에 의한 증식 억제효과는 이상의 암세포에 대한 효과보다 다소 낮았으나 아마씨 및 들깨 메탄올 추출물은 첨가농도 2 mg/ml에서 각각 65% 및 59%의 저해효과를 나타내었다.

In order to investigate the effects of Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae (RAB) on the growth and differentiation of human osteoblast-like cells, we supplemented the culture medium of MG-63 cells with various concentrations of RAB water extracts. RAB extracts significantly stimulated cell growth, as confirmed by the colorimetric MTT (3-dimethylthiazol-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. RAB extracts also increased the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, which is a osteoblast differentiation marker. These results suggest that RAB can stimulate osteoblastic activity and may represent new pharmacological tools for the treatment of osteoporosis.
