현재 상품화되어 시판되고 있는 4가지의 미립담체를 이용해 각각의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 부착성동물세포배양 실험을 수행한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Cytodex 3의 경우 세포의 초기 접종농도를 약 $2.0{\times}10^5$ cells/ml로 하였을 때, 3g/l는 약 $1.4{\times}10^6$cells/ml, 5g/l는 약 $2.0{\times}10^6$cells/ml의 최종세포밀도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 bead-to-bead trandsfer 실험을 한 결과 3g/l를 간헐적으로 첨가하였을 때는 약 $1.9{\times}10^6$cells/ml, 5g/l 첨가하였을 때는 약 $3.0{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 최종세포밀도가 증가하였다. Cultispher-G, 3g/l를 이용해 초기 접종농도를 약 $2.0{\times}10^6$cells/ml로 하여 배양하였을 때 약 $1.3{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 세포농도가 증가했고, 5g/l를 이용해 초기 접종농도를 $4.0{\times}10^5$cells/ml로 접종하였을 때 최종세포농도가 약 $3.2{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 bead-to-bead transfer배양 실험결과에서 3g/l의 미립담체를 간헐적으로 첨가해 약 $1.8{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 최종세포밀도가 올라갔고 5g/l를 간헐적으로 첨가하였을 때 $2.5{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 세포밀도를 얻었다. VX-100을 사용하여 세포를 배양하였을 때 초기 접종농도가 약 $2.0{\times}10^5$cells/ml에서 최종세포밀도가 약 $4.4{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 증가하는 것을 알게 되었다. 따라서 실험에 사용한 다른 종류의 다공성 젤라틴 bead보다 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었고 Cytodex-3보다는 최종세포농도가 약 2배이상 증가한 결과를 얻었다. Informatrix bead는 초기 접종농도를 약 $3.0{\times}10^5$cells/ml로 하였을 때 최종세포밀도가 약 $2.1{\times}10^6$cells/ml까지 증가하였다. Collagenase효소를 이용하여 젤라틴 bead를 녹인 후 회수한 세포는 대부분 viable하였고 새로 도입된 bead에 성공적으로 부착하여 성장하였다. 따라서 담체 내부에서 자라는 세포도 회수하여 재사용 할 수 있게 되었다.

기수산 요각류 P. nana의 대량배양을 위한 최적 먹이공급량을 규명하기위해 먹이공급량에 따른 P. nana의 섭식량, 성장 및 성체암컷의 nauplius 생산수를 조사하였다. 실험을 위한 먹이생물로 해양 식물플랑크톤인 Tetraselmis suecica를 사용하였으며 실험은 발달 단계에 따라 6 그룹으로 나누어 실시하였다. 먹이공급량은 각 단계 그룹마다 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 및 $80{\times}10^4$ cells/mL로 설정하였고 P. nana 암컷의 nauplius 생산수 측정실험은 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 및 $4{\times}10^4$ cells/mL의 먹이공급실험구를 두어 실시하였다. 실험결과, 먹이 공급량에 따른 P. nana 각 발달 단계의 시간 당 초식율은 모든 발달단계가 T. suecica의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였다. P. nana는 nauplius 기간에서, 먹이량이 증가함에 따라 개체 발달에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타난 반면, copepodite 단계에서는 먹이량이 $1{\times}10^4{\sim}5{\times}10^4$ cells/mL을 기준으로 감소하거나 증가할 때, 개체 발달에 악영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 먹이 공급 농도에 따른 암컷의 일일 nauplius 생산은 먹이 공급량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였고 3 및 $4{\times}10^4$ cells/mL 실험구는 $2{\times}10^4$ cells/mL 실험구와 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결과적으로, P. nana의 대량배양을 위한 T. suecica 공급밀도는 nauplius 단계는 5,000 cells/mL, copepodite 단계와 성체수컷은 10,000 cells/mL, 성체암컷은 20,000 cells/mL이 가장 효율적인 먹이 공급 밀도라고 판단된다.

Most normal cells express L-type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2). However, L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is highly expressed in many tumor cells and presumed to support their increased growth and proliferation. This study examined the effects of JPH203, a selective LAT1 inhibitor, on cell growth and its mechanism for cell death in Saos2 human osteosarcoma cells. FOB human osteoblastic cells and Saos2 cells expressed LAT1 and LAT2 together with their associating protein 4F2 heavy chain, but the expression of LAT2 in the Saos2 cells was especially weak. JPH203 and BCH, a non-selective L-type amino acid transporter inhibitor, potently inhibited L-leucine uptake in Saos2 cells. As expected, the intrinsic ability of JPH203 to inhibit L-leucine uptake was far more efficient than that of BCH in Saos2 cells. Likewise, JPH203 and BCH inhibited Saos2 cell growth with JPH203 being superior to BCH in this regard. Furthermore, JPH203 increased apoptosis rates and formed DNA ladder in Saos2 cells. Moreover, JPH203 activated the mitochondria-dependent apoptotic signaling pathway by upregulating pro-apoptotic factors, such as Bad, Bax, and Bak, and the active form of caspase-9, and downregulating anti-apoptotic factors, such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. These results suggest that the inhibition of LAT1 activity via JPH203, which may act as a potential novel anti-cancer agent, leads to apoptosis mediated by the mitochondria-dependent intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by inducing the intracellular depletion of neutral amino acids essential for cell growth in Saos2 human osteosarcoma cells.

These experiments were conducted to investigate effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) on apoptosis of transplanted-L1210 cells in mice. GL induced apoptosis of transplanted-Ll2lO cells. GL increased nitric oxide production from peritoneal macrophages of L1210 cells-transplanted mice. NOC12, nitric oxide donor, induced apoptosis of L1210 cells in vitro. The apoptosis of L1210 cells were enhanced by co-culture of the peritoneal macrophages of GL-administered mice and L1210 cells in vitro, and was inhibited by L-NMMA. These results suggest that the apoptosis of transplanted-Ll2lO cells is partly induced by nitric oxide produced from peritoneal macrophages in GL-administered mice.

L-ascorbic acid (L-AA; vitamin C) induces apoptosis in cancer cells. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of L-AA-induced apoptosis in human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma Hep-2 cells. L-AA suppressed the viability of Hep-2 cells and induced apoptosis, as shown by the cleavage and condensation of nuclear chromatin and increased number of Annexin V-positive cells. L-AA decreased Bcl-2 protein expression but upregulated Bax protein levels. In addition, cytochrome c release from the mitochondria into the cytosol and activation of caspase-9, -8, and -3 were enhanced by L-AA treatment. Furthermore, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and endonuclease G (EndoG) were translocated into the nucleus during apoptosis of L-AA-treated Hep-2 cells. L-AA effectively inhibited the constitutive nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation and attenuated the nuclear expression of the p65 subunit of NF-κB. Interestingly, L-AA treatment of Hep-2 cells markedly activated Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK; extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase [JNK]) and and LY294002 (Akt inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) or SP600125 (a JNK inhibitor) decreased the levels of Annexin V-positive cells. These results suggested that L-AA induces the apoptosis of Hep-2 cells via the nuclear translocation of AIF and EndoG by modulating the Bcl-2 family and MAPK/Akt signaling pathways.

Amino acids are required for protein synthesis and energy sources in all living cells. The amino acid transport system L is a major nutrient transport system that is responsible for $Na^+$-independent transport of neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids. In malignant tumors, the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), the first isoform of system L, is highly expressed to support tumor cell growth. In the present study, the expression and functional characterization of amino acid transport system L were, therefore, investigated in Saos2 human osteogenic sarcoma cells. RT-PCR and western blot analyses have revealed that the Saos2 cells expressed the LAT1 and the L-type amino acid transporter 2 (LAT2), the second isoform of system L, together with their associating protein heavy chain of 4F2 antigen (4F2hc) in the plasma membrane, but the expression of LAT2 was very weak. The uptakes of [${14}^C$]L-leucine by Saos2 cells were $Na^+$-independent and were completely inhibited by the system L selective inhibitor, 2-aminobicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid (BCH). The affinity of [${14}^C$]L-leucine uptake and the inhibition profiles of [${14}^C$]L-leucine uptake by various amino acids in the Saos2 cells were comparable with those for the LAT1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The majority of [${14}^C$]L-leucine uptake is, therefore, mediated by LAT1 in the Saos2 cells. These results suggest that the transports of neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids into Saos2 human osteogenic sarcoma cells are for the most part mediated by LAT1. Therefore, the Saos2 human osteogenic sarcoma cells are excellent tools for examine the properties of LAT1. Moreover, the specific inhibition of LAT1 in tumor cells might be a new rationale for anti-tumor therapy.

Effects of GA and IAA on the respiratory and photosynthetic activity of each growth stage during the synchronous culture of Chlorella ellipsodiea, were investigated. 1) GA ($2{\times}10^{-8}M$) affected most insignificantly on the respiratory activity of the stages Dn, Da, $L_1$, $L_2$, $L_3$-cells but only at $L_4$-cells treated with IAA($10^{-3}/M$) were promoted and $L_3$, $L_4$-cells were suppressed. With the treatment of GA-IAA the effects on respiration of eah stage cells were antagonistic. 2) Photosynthetic activity treated with GA during the each stage of Chlorella cells was promoted and IAA treated-cell were suppressed. The effect of GA-IAA upon the process of life cycle was also antagonistic. 3) It was revealed that respiratory and photosynthetic activity of Chlorella cells by the treatment of GA(($2{\times}10^{-8}M$) and IAA($10{\times}^{-3}/M$) had antogonistic effects.

남해 중앙부에 위치하는 해창만의 식물플랑크톤 군집은 비교적 다양한 생물종에 의해 군집을 이루고 있으나, 출현 세포 밀도는 매우 낮은 특징을 보였다. 특히, 계절적으로는 여름과 가을에 높은 세포 밀도를 나타내고 있는 반면, 봄에 낮은 세포 밀도를 나타내나, 식물플랑크톤 군집은 연중 중심목 규조류에 의해 지배되고 있었다. 그러나, Chl-a량의 분포와 관련하여, 식물플랑크톤에 의한 해창만의 기초생물 잠재생산력은 연중 매우 높은 것으로 판단되며, 미소 또는 극미소 플랑크톤에 대한 점유율이 높을 것으로 추정되었다.

The present investigation was undertaken to examine the anticancer activity of the methanol extract from Houttuynia cordata on ICR mouse with induced abdominal cancer and L1210 cancer cells. When the methanol extract of Houttuynia cordata (10∼200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) was administered orally to ICR mouse with abdominal cancer, 47.8% of the best life prolonging effect was obtained. In case of cytotoxicity study (inhibition of cell proliferation) of Houttuynia cordata extract against L1210 cells, $IC_{50}$/ was found to be 62.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$. In contrast to such considerable toxicity against cancer cell line, the toxicity demonstrated by the identical extract against normal lymphocytes was very meagre as shown to be < 5% compared with 86.5% in case of L1210 cells at the same condition. To get an insight into the reaction mechanism undelying the anticancer activity, $O_2$ion quantity and antioxidant enzyme activities such as superoxide dismiutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) of L1210 cells in the presence of Houttuynia cordata extract were measured. The increased values of SOD and GPx enzyme activities in addition to the augmented generation of $O_2$ ion in L1210 cells implied that the reactive oxygen species induding $O_2$ion which were presumably induced by Houttuynia cordata extract might have participated in the process of L1210 cells cytotoxicity.

In this study, the protective effects of EGCG on L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA)-induced oxidative cell death in catecholaminergic PC12 cells, the in vitro model of Parkinson's disease, were investigated. Treatment with L-DOPA at concentrations higher than $150{\mu}M$ caused cytotoxicity in PC12 cells, as determined using the 3-(4,5-dimetylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry detection. The apoptotic ratio was similar in cells treated with $100{\mu}M$ EGCG plus $150{\mu}M$ L-DOPA (5.02%) and the control (0.96%) (P > 0.05), and was lower than that of cells treated with L-DOPA only (32.24%, P < 0.05). The generation level of ROS (% of control) in cells treated with EGCG plus L-DOPA was lower than that in cells treated with L-DOPA only (123.90% vs 272.32%, P < 0.05). The optical density in production of TBARS in cells treated with L-DOPA only was higher than that in the control ($0.27{\pm}0.05$ vs $0.08{\pm}0.04$, P < 0.05), and in cells treated with EGCG only ($0.14{\pm}0.02$, P < 0.05), and EGCG plus L-DOPA ($0.13{\pm}0.02$, P < 0.05). The intracellular level of GSH in cells treated with EGCG plus L-DOPA was higher than that in cells treated with L-DOPA only ($233.25{\pm}16.44$ vs $119.23{\pm}10.25$, P < 0.05). These results suggest that EGCG protects against L-DOPA-induced oxidative apoptosis in PC12 cells, and might be a potent neuroprotective agent.
