  • 연구배경 : PS-341은 최근에 개발된 강력하고 특이적인 proteasome 억제제로서, 일부 암환자에 투여하여 좋은 성적이 보고되고 있다. Proteasome 억제제의 항암효과는 아포프토시스 유발 물질, 즉 p53, $p21^{WAF/CIP1}$, $p27^{KIP1}$, NF-${\kappa}B$, Bax, Bcl-2 등의 발현 증가와 관련이 있는 것으로 생각되고 있다. JNK와 GSK-$3{\beta}$도 아포프토시스에 관여하는 것으로 잘 알려져 있지만, PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스에서의 역할은 규명되지 못한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 폐암세포주에서 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스에서 JNK와 GSK-$3{\beta}$의 역할을 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법 : NCI-H157과 A549 폐암세포주를 실험에 사용하였다. 세포생존능은 MTT 방법으로 평가하였고, 아포프토시스는 PARP의 분해로 평가하였다. JNK의 활성도는 in vitro immuno complex kinase 방법과 내인성 c-Jun의 인산화로 측정하였다. 각종 단백의 발현은 Western 분석으로 평가하였다. JNK1과 GSK-$3{\beta}$의 과발현은 각각 plasmid vector와 adenovirus vector를 이용하였다. 결 과 : PS-341 처치로 아포프토시스에 의한 세포생존율의 감소가 관찰되었다. PS-341 처치로 JNK가 활성화되었고, c-Jun의 발현이 유도되었다. Dominant negative JNK1의 과발현 또는 SP600125 전치치로 JNK의 활성화를 차단하면 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스가 억제되었다. PS-341 처리로 JNK 활성화에 의존적으로 caspase 3의 활성화가 유도되었다. Caspase 활성화의 차단으로도 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스가 억제되었다. PS-341에 의해 Akt가 활성화되었고, Akt 활성화의 차단으로 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스가 심화되었다. PS-341에 의한 Akt 활성화로 GSK-$3{\beta}$가 불활성화되었다. Constitutively active GSK-$3{\beta}$의 과발현으로 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스가 심화되었고, dominant negative GSK-$3{\beta}$의 과발현으로 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스가 감소되었다. Lithium chloride 전처치와 dominant negative GSK-$3{\beta}$의 과발현으로 PS-341에 의한 JNK의 활성화와 c-Jun의 발현 증가가 억제되었다. 결 론 : 폐암세포주에서 PS-341에 의한 아포프토시스는 JNK/caspase 경로가 관여하며, 이는 PI3K/Akt 경로를 통한 GSK-$3{\beta}$의 불활성화에 의해 억제되는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 PS-341의 항암효과를 최대화하기 위해서는 PI3K/Akt 경로를 통한 GSK-$3{\beta}$의 불활성화를 차단하는 치료법이 병행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}\;(TNF-{\alpha})$는 염증성 골질환에서의 골조직의 손실과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 연구에서는 인체 골수 유래 중간엽 줄기세포의 골세포로의 분화과정에 대한 $TNF-{\alpha}$의 영향을 조사하였다. $TNF-{\alpha}$는 골수 유래 중간엽 줄기세포의 골세포로의 분화를 나타내는 표시인 세포외 무기질 축적과 alkaline phosphatase의 발현의 증가를 일으켰으며 2ng/ml의 농도에서 최대의 증가를 나타내었다. $TNF-{\alpha}$에 의한 골세포로의 분화는 $NF_kB$의 저해제에 의해서는 영향받지 않았으나 JNK 특이 저해제인 SP600125에 의해 완벽하게 억제되었다. 이는 $TNF-{\alpha}$에 의한 골수 유래 중간엽 줄기세포의 골세포로의 분화과정에 JNK가 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 제시한다.

  • 서 론 : 폐암의 치료에 사용되는 방사선 조사는 흉곽 및 여러장기에 다양한 합병증을 발생시키며, 특히 방사선 섬유화증과 방사선 폐렴을 일으킨다. 방사선 조사의 초기 효과는 보통 염증 세포들의 침윤, 간질 및 폐포 부종, 상피세포의 탈락에 의한 방사선 폐렴이며 후기 효과는 방사선 섬유화증을 초래한다. 방사선 조사는 폐장의 염증 세포에서 TGF-beta의 단백 합성 및 활성도를 증가시키고, 생체외 실험에서 TGF-beta는 mitogen activated protein kinases(MAPKs)를 활성화시킨다는 것이 알려져 있다. c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)는 MAPKs중의 하나로 핵단백질인 c-Jun을 인산화(phosphorylation) 시켜 전사(transcription)를 증가시키는데 생체외 실험에서 자외선 조사후 대식 세포에서 JNK의 활성이 증가되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 현재 까지 생체내에서 JNK가 방사선 조사에 의해 활성화되는지 그리고 이들 활성화가 방사선 섬유화증의 병인에 관계하는 지는 알려진 바 없다. 본 연구는 흉부에 방사선을 조사한 백서를 이용하여 방사선 섬유화증의 병인에 JNK가 신호 전달 체계에서 주요한 역할을 담당하는 지를 알아보고자 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : C57BL/6 백서의 전 흉부에 14 Gy의 $^{60}CO{\gamma}$-ray를 조사한 후 일정한 간격(1주, 4주, 8주)으로 폐장의 세포 분석을 위한 기관지 폐포 세척술, elastin의 합성 정도를 측정하기 위한 Verhoeff stain, collagen 합성 양을 알기 위한 hydroxyproline의 측정, JNK 활성도를 알기 위한 in vitro JNK assay를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 폐장의 기관지 폐포 세척 소견상 총세포수는 방사선 조사 4주, 8주후에 증가하는 소견을 보였다. 세포의 감별 분석상 림프구는 4주후 증가되는 경향을 보였다. Verhoeff 염색상 폐포 조직의 특이 변화 소견은 없었으며 hydroxyproline의 양은 방사선 조사전에 비해 4주, 8주후에 증가하는 소견을 보였다. 방사선 조사 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 4주 후에 c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)의 활성도가 가장 높았으며 8주 후에는 4주 후와 비슷한 활성도를 보였다. 결 론 : 흉곽에 방사선 조사 후 hydroxyproline양의 증가와 함께 JNK 활성도의 증가 소견을 보여 방사선 폐섬유화증의 병인에 JNK가 관여될 것으로 사료된다.

  • c-Jun N-terminal kinase-3 (JNK-3) has been shown to mediate neuronal apoptosis and make the promising therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other CNS disorders. In order to better understand the structural and chemical features of JNK-3, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed on a series of 3,5-disubstituted quinolines derivatives. The best predictions were obtained CoMFA model ($q^2$=0.707, $r^2$=0.972) and the statistical parameters from the generated 3D-QSAR models were indicated that the data are well fitted and have high predictive ability. The resulting contour map from 3D-QSAR models might be helpful to design novel and more potent JNK3 derivatives.

  • Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is used to lyse clots and reperfuse brain in ischemic stroke. However, sideeffects of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and edema limit their clinical application. In part, these phenomena has been linked with elevations in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in neurovascular unit. However little is known about their regulatory signaling pathways in brain cells. Here, I examine the role of MAP kinase pathways in tPA-induced MMP-9 regulation in rat cortical astrocytes. tPA $(1-10\;{\mu}g/ml)$ induced dose-dependent elevations in MMP-9 and MMP-2 in conditioned media. Although tPA increased phosphorylation in two MAP kinases (ERK, JNK), only inhibition of the JNK pathway by the JNK inhibitor SP600126 significantly reduced MMP-9 upregulation. Neither ERK inhibition with U0126 nor p38 inhibition with SB203580 had any significant effects. Taken together, these results suggest that c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays an essential role for tPA-induced MMP-9 upregulation.

  • Fisetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid with some anti-cancer and anti-inflammation capabilities. In this study, we perform docking studies between human c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK 1) and fisetin and proposed a binding model of fisetin and JNK 1, in which the hydroxyl groups of the B ring and oxygen at the 4-position of the C ring play key roles in binding interactions with JNK. Fluorescence quenching and saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR experiments showed that fisetin exhibits good binding affinity to JNK, $1.32{\times}10^8M^{-1}$. The anti-inflammatory activity of fisetin was also investigated. Fisetin significantly suppressed tumor necrosis factor, the NO production, and macrophage inflammatory cytokine release in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. We found that the anti-inflammatory cascade of fisetin was mediated through the JNK, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 pathways. Our findings suggest the potential of fisetin as an anti-inflammatory agent.

  • The sex steroid hormone estradiol-$17{\beta}(E_2)$ mediate their biological effects on development, differentiation and maintenance of reproductive tract and other target tissue through gene regulation by nuclear steroid receptors. Although the importance of $E_2$ in many physiological process has been reported, but little is known about the effects of $E_2$ on primary cultured chicken hepatocyte. therefore, in the present study, we have examined the effect of $E_2$ on cell proliferation and it's related signal cascades. $E_2$ increase $[^3H]$-thymidine incorporation in time-(${\leq}8hr$) and dose-($10^{-10}M$)dependent manner and treatment of $E_2$ increased the phosphorylation of p44/43 MAPKs(p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase) and JNK(c-Jun N-terminal kinase) in a time dependent manner. In addition, PD98059(p44/42 blocker, $10^{-5}M$), SP600125(JNK blocker, $10^{-6}M$) blocked the estrogen-induced increase in $[^3H]$-thymidine incorporation. In conclusion, $E_2$ stimulates the proliferation of primary cultured chicken hepatocytes and this action is mediated by p44/42 MAPKs and JNK signal transduction pathway.

  • N-(p-Coumaryol) tryptamine (CT), a phenolic amide, has been reported to exhibit anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the underlying mechanism by which CT exerts its pharmacological properties has not been clearly demonstrated. The objective of this study is to elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of CT in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged RAW264.7 macrophage cells. CT significantly inhibited LPS-induced extracellular secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and $PGE_2$, and protein expressions of iNOS and COX-2. In addition, CT significantly suppressed LPS-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$. To elucidate the underlying anti-inflammatory mechanism of CT, involvement of MAPK and Akt signaling pathways was examined. CT significantly attenuated LPS-induced activation of JNK/c-Jun, but not ERK and p38, in a concentration-dependent manner. Interestingly, CT appeared to suppress LPS-induced Akt phosphorylation. However, JNK inhibition, but not Akt inhibition, resulted in the suppression of LPS-induced responses, suggesting that JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway significantly contributes to LPS-induced inflammatory responses and that LPS-induced Akt phosphorylation might be a compensatory response to a stress condition. Taken together, the present study clearly demonstrates CT exerts anti-inflammatory activity through the suppression of JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway in LPS-challenged RAW264.7 macrophage cells.

  • Paeonia lactiflora roots (PLR) are a medicinal plant widely used for treating inflammatory diseases. However, PLR has been recently reported to increase the production of proinflammatory mediators and activates phagocytosis in macrophages. Thus, in this study, we tried to verify the macrophage activation of PLR and elucidate its mechanism of action. PLR upregulated the production of proinflammatory mediators and activated phagocytosis in RAW264.7 cells. However, these effects were reversed by inhibition of TLR2/4. In addition, the inhibition of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 reduced the PLR-mediated production of proinflammatory mediators, and the PLR-mediated activation of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 was blocked by the TLR4 inhibition. These findings indicate that PLR may activate macrophages through TLR4-dependent activation of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2. These indicate that PLR has immunostimulatory activity. Thus, it is believed that PLR can be used as a functional food agent that enhances the immune system.

  • Microtubule acetylation has been proposed as a marker of highly heterogeneous and aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The novel microtubule acetylation inhibitors GM-90257 and GM-90631 (GM compounds) cause TNBC cancer cell death but the underlying mechanisms are currently unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that GM compounds function as anti-TNBC agents through activation of the JNK/AP-1 pathway. RNA-seq and biochemical analyses of GM compound-treated cells revealed that c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and members of its downstream signaling pathway are potential targets for GM compounds. Mechanistically, JNK activation by GM compounds induced an increase in c-Jun phosphorylation and c-Fos protein levels, thereby activating the activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor. Notably, direct suppression of JNK with a pharmacological inhibitor alleviated Bcl2 reduction and cell death caused by GM compounds. TNBC cell death and mitotic arrest were induced by GM compounds through AP-1 activation in vitro. These results were reproduced in vivo, validating the significance of microtubule acetylation/JNK/AP-1 axis activation in the anti-cancer activity of GM compounds. Moreover, GM compounds significantly attenuated tumor growth, metastasis, and cancer-related death in mice, demonstrating strong potential as therapeutic agents for TNBC.
