본 연구는 기존의 치면열구전색재 ConciseTM에 세륨옥사이드 나노입자(Cerium oxide nano particles; CNPs)를 0-4.0 wt%를 첨가하여 새로운 치면열구전색재를 제조하여 물리적 성질과 세포독성을 평가하였다. 물리적 성질은 중합깊이, 물흡수도와 용해도를 측정하였고 세포독성평가는 불멸화된 구강점막세포(Immortalized human oral keratinocyte (IHOK))를 이용하여 MTT assay법으로 평가하였다. 실험 결과 중합 깊이는 CNPs 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 용해도는 CNPs를 2.0 wt% 첨가된 실험군에서 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며 물흡수도는 각 실험군별 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). 세포독성 실험 결과는 모든 실험군에서 높은 세포 생존율을 보였다. 이는 CNPs가 물리적 성질을 크게 약화 시키지 않으며 세포독성을 나타내지 않았으므로 생체 적합성을 입증하였다. CNPs의 특성을 고려하여 향후 CNPs의 효율적인 분산 기술에 대한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity of thermoplastic denture base resins and to identify the possible adverse effects of these resins on oral keratinocytes in response to hot water/ food intake. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Six dental thermoplastic resin materials were evaluated: three polyamide materials (Smile tone, ST; Valplast, VP; and Luciton FRS, LF), two acrylic materials (Acrytone, AT; and Acryshot, AS), and one polypropylene resin material (Unigum, UG). One heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Vertex RS, RS) was chosen for comparison. After obtaining extracts from specimens of the denture resin materials (${\phi}=10$ mm and d=2 mm) under different extraction conditions ($37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, $70^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, and $121^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour), the extracts (50%) or serial dilutions (25%, 12.5%, and 6.25%) in distilled water were co-cultured for 24 hours with immortalized human oral keratinocytes (IHOKs) or mouse fibroblasts (L929s) for the cytotoxicity assay described in ISO 10993. RESULTS. Greater than 70% viability was detected under all test conditions. Significantly lower IHOK and L929 viability was detected in the 50% extract from the VP ($70^{\circ}C$) and AT ($121^{\circ}C$) samples (P<.05), but only L929 showed reduced viability in the 50% and 25% extract from LF ($37^{\circ}C$) (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Extracts obtained from six materials under different extraction conditions ($37^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, and $121^{\circ}C$) did not exhibit severe cytotoxicity (less than 70% viability), although their potential risk to oral mucosa at high temperatures should not be ignored.

이 연구는 HPV 16 E6/E7 도입 불멸화 구강상피세포의 배양 미세환경과 세포 분화간의 관계를 분석하였다. 배양환경을 변화시켜서 IHOK-EF 세포와 IHOK-EFKGM 세포를 얻었고, 이들 세포의 특성변화를 세포증식분석, 면역형광분석 및 마이크로어레이와 실시간 정량 PCR분석으로 알아보았다. IHOK-EF 세포는 상피세포의 특성을 상실하고 간엽세포의 특성을 획득하였고, 마이크로어레이 분석결과, 분화억제 유전자인 ID2, IL6, TWIST1이 과발현 되었다. 이러한 변화는 초기의 배양환경으로 회복되었을 때, 특별히, ID2와 IL6에서 유전자발현의 복귀를 나타내면서 세포의 특성이 부분적으로 회복되었다. 이 연구는 세포의 특성을 결정하는 연구에서 배양 미세환경의 변화에 따른 세포의 생존을 위한 적응양상을 이해하는데 공헌할 것이며, 향후, 암세포의 미세환경변화에 따른 생존연구에 적용하여 질병에 대한 치료적 접근을 가능하게 할 것이다.

Since NNK is one of the most abundant tobacco-specific alkaloids and a strong carcinogenic nitrosamine, it has been used for evaluating a potential of carcinogenicity in the animal models. The present study has attempted to examine the potential of carcinogenicity of NNK in human epithelial cells, from which the cell type the most of cancers including oral cancer and nasal cavity cancer are originated. The cellular model used for the study is a human keratinocyte cell system immortalized by Ad12-SV40 hybrid virus. The cellular system has successfully been used for the carcinogenicity studies because of its limitless life span, epithelial morphology and nontumorigenicity. When cells were treated with a variety of NNK concentrations, levels of saturation density and soft agar colony formation were increased in a dose-dependent fashion. Colonies of large cell aggregates were above 5 at the higher doses. The results indicate that exposure of human cells with NNK induced loss of contact inhibition and increases of anchorage independence and cellular adhesion, which are typical characteristics of the neoplatically transformed cells. When cells were exposed with 100uM NNK for 2hr, mRNA levels of IL-1 and PAI-2 were increased in a dose-dependent manner, but expression of TGF- 1 was not affected. While expression of growth regulatory factors were altered with a short-term exposure, there was no alteration of these factors in the NNK-transformed cells. However, mRNA levels of fibronectin were increased both in the short-term treatment and in the transformation. The results suggest that altered expression of extracellular matrix such as fibronectin following short-term exposure might be fixed in the genome and these altered properties be continuously transfered throughout the cell division. Western blot analysis showed a translocation of PKC- from cytosolic fraction to the particulate fraction, indicating a possible role of NNK in the signal transduction pathway. The present study provided an evidence that NNK in the smoking may be associated with epithelial origin cancer such as oral and nasal cavity cancers. In addition, this study suggested that altered expression of extracellular matrix and PKC may play an important role in the carcinogenic mechanism of NNK.
