  • 채소즙이란 생채소를 마쇄하여 인체가 영양소를 흡수하기 쉬운 상태로 제조된 즙으로 생채소의 영양 섭취 효율을 높일 수 있는 식품이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 재배방법에 따라 생산된 유기농 및 일반농 케일을 착즙하여 다양한 실험을 통하여 항산화 활성을 비교하였다. DPPH radical, NO, $O_2{^-}$, ${\cdot}OH$ 라디칼 소거능에서 유기농 케일 착즙액은 일반농케일 착즙액보다 더 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. LLC-PK1 세포를 이용하여 산화적 스트레스 개선효과에서 유기농 케일 착즙액은 일반농 케일 착즙액에서보다 NO, $O_2{^-}$$ONOO^-$에 의해 유발된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 세포 생존율을 증가시키고, 지질과산화물을 억제시켜 유리라디칼에 대한 보호효과를 유의적으로 나타내었다. 위의 결과로 보아 유기농케일 착즙액은 일반농 케일 착즙액보다 산화적 스트레스에 대한 개선효과가 뛰어난 것으로 사료되며 재배방법의 차이에 따라 그 효과도 차이가 있었다.

  • The chemotherapy sensitive Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) and chemotherapy resistant Lewis lung carcinoma (CR-LLC) tumors concurrently implanted in mice, and compare these findings with histological macroscopic observations against 3D reconstruction of Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) preformed in vivo on the same animals. For the 3D image reconstruction we used 32 laser source images, a flat image and 3D surface rendering that confused for 3D Fluorescence Molecular Imaging (FMI). A minimum of ten tissue sections were analyzed per tumor for quantification of the TUNEL-positive cells, cell-associated Cy5.5-Annexin and vessel-associated Alexa Fluor-Lectin. These are useful apoptosis and angiogenesis markers, and they serve as validation experiments to data obtained in vivousing a Cy5.5-Annexin V conjugate injected intravenously in chemotherapy-treated animals carrying the tumors studied histologically. We detected higher levels of apoptosis and corresponding higher levels of Cy5.5 fluorescence in the LLC vs. the CR-LLC tumors according to tissue depth and these findings confirm that in vivo staining with the Cy5.5-Annexing conjugate correlates well with in vitro TUNEL staining and is consistent with the higher apoptotic index expected from the LLC line. There appeared to be 1.38% more apoptosis for LLC than CR-LLC. Consequently there is good correlation between the histology results and in vivo fluorescence-mediated optical imaging. In conclusion the apoptotic images of 3D FMI were validated by microscopic histological image analysis. This is a significant result for the continuous progress of fluorescence 3D imaging research.

  • Our previous study showed that a novel synthetic shikonin derivative, 6-(1-hydroxyimino-4-methylpentyl)5,8-dimethyoxy 1,4-naphthoquinone S-52 (DMNQ S-52) induced apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated its anti-metastatic activities as compared with shikonin because DMNQ S-52 was synthesized for overcoming weak points of shikonin such as high toxicity, low solubility and deleterious effects. DMNQ S-52 showed the weaker cytotoxicity $(IC_{50};\;12.3{\pm}1.6\;{\mu}M)$ against Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells than that of shikonin $(IC_{50};\;4.2{\pm}1.1\;{\mu}M)$. DMNQ S-52, at non-toxic concentrations $(less\;than\;10\;{\mu}M)$, significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of LLC cells. DMNQ S-52 also significantly inhibited the production of MMP-9, MTl-MMP and uPAR. Moreover, daily i.p. administration of DMNQ S-52 at dose of 5 mg/kg in mice resulted in a potent inhibition of the primary tumor size of LLC in the lung as well as the metastasis of lymph nodes. These findings suggest that the DMNQ S-52 has therapeutic potential to inhibit metastasis via inhibition of MMP family and uPA/plasminogen system.

  • 배 경 : 암세포는 정상 세포와 다르므로 면역 기전에 의해 제거되어야 함에도 불구하고 암이 발생하는 것은 암세포가 면역 감시 체계를 회피하기 때문이다. 약제감수성 증강 유전자인 herpes simplex thymidine kinase(HSTK) 유전자를 이용하여 암세포를 파괴하여 종양 특이항원이 더 잘 유리되도록 하고 사이토카인 유전자를 이용하여 면역세포를 유도하여 이 장애를 극복할 수 있는지 보고자 이 실험을 하였다. 방 법 : Lewis 폐암 세포주(LLC)에 adenovirus를 이용하여 HSTK를 형질도입하고 이에 의해 ganciclovir에 대한 LLC의 감수성을 증강시키는지를 관찰하고 mixed population assay를 이용하여 bystander 효과를 관찰하였다. Ad-HSTK, Ad-IL-2, Ad-GMCSF의 형질도입이 LLC의 종양 형성 능력에 영향을 미치는지 관찰하였다. 또한 그러한 형질 도입이 기존의 종양에 대한 항암 효과를 가져오는지 관찰하였다. 항암 효과의 기전을 확인하기 위해 쥐의 비장을 관찰하였다. 결 과 : Ad-HSTK의 형질도입은 ganciclovir에 대한 LLC의 감수성을 현저하게 증강시켰다. Ad-HSTK, Ad-IL-2, Ad-GM-CSF를 형질도입한 LLC를 쥐에 주사하고 ganciclovir로 처리하였을 때 종양 형성 능력이 감소하였다. Ad-HSTK, Ad-IL-2, Ad-GM-CSF를 형질도입한 LLC를 종양백신으로 사용하였을때 종양 성장이 어느 정도 저해되는 것을 관찰하였다. 특히 HSTK와 GM-CSF를 복합 형질도입했을 때 더 강력한 항암효과가 일어나는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러나 HSTK와 IL-2을 복합 형질도입했을 때는 각각을 단독으로 형질도입했을 때보다 항암효과가 상승되지 않았다. HSTK와 GM-CSF의 복합 형질도입한 LLC를 종양백신으로 사용하였을 때 비장의 수상세포 침윤이 현저히 증가하였다. 결 론 : HSTK와 GM-CSF의 복합 형질도입으로 만든 종양백신은 수상세포를 활성화시키므로써 항암면역기능을 유의하게 증강시킬 수 있었다.

  • 잡곡밥 메탄올 추출물이 가지는 산화적 스트레스 개선 효과를 확인하기 위하여 $H_2O_2$로 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대한 LLC-PK1 세포의 보호 효과를 조사하였다. $250{\mu}M$$H_2O_2$에 의한 산화적 스트레스가 유발된 LLC-PK1 세포에 시료추출물을 처리한 결과, WR, TMR, GR 순으로 $H_2O_2$ 처리군에 비해 세포 생존율이 증가하였다(P<0.05). 특히 GRS와 GRK에서 정상군에 가까운 세포 생존율을 나타내어 $H_2O_2$에 의한 산화적 스트레스로 유발된 세포 손상에 대한 잡곡밥 추출물의 보호 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 세포 내 활성산소(ROS)의 수준과 세포 내 지질과산화물질(MDA)의 생성 억제 효과 역시 WR, TMR, GR, GRK, GRS 순으로 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. $H_2O_2$로 인하여 세포 내 항산화 효소인 SOD, CAT와 GSH-px 등의 활성이 감소된 LLC-PK1 세포에 잡곡밥 추출물을 처리했을 때 이들 효소의 활성이 증가했으며 특히 GRK, GRS군에서 현저하게 증가되었다. LLC-PK1 세포에서 $H_2O_2$에 의해 발생하는 산화적 스트레스에 대한 보호 효과를 측정한 결과 잡곡밥 추출물은 세포 손상을 억제하고 세포 내 활성산소(ROS)의 수준과 지질과산화물질(MDA)의 생성을 억제하며, 세포 내 항산화 효소의 활성을 증가시키는 효과를 가지는 것으로 보인다. 또한 항산화 효소유전자 발현에서도 위와 비슷한 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 잡곡밥 메탄올 추출물, 특히 기능성 물질인 카레가루와 상황버섯 추출물이 첨가된 잡곡밥은 LLC-PK1 세포에 대한 보호 작용과 in vitro에서의 항산화 효과가 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

  • Fumonisins are specific inhibitors of ceramide synthase in sphingolipid metabolism. Sphingolipids are biologically active lipid mediators in cellular physiology and involved in cell signaling, growth, transformation, angiogenesis and differentiation. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fumonisin B1 on $Na^+, \;K^+$-pump activity when fumonisin B1 was exposed to LLC-PK1 cells. Fumonisin B1 elevated free sphingoid bases and their 1-phosphates, while total complex sphingolipids were depleted at 20$\mu$M fumonisin B1 during the 3 day exposure. (omitted)

  • The protective role of phloroglucinol against oxidative stress and stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) was investigated in vitro and in cell culture. Phloroglucinol had strong and concentration-dependent radical scavenging effects against nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anions ($O_2{^-}$), and hydroxyl radicals. In this study, free radical generators were used to induce oxidative stress in LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cells. Treatment with phloroglucinol attenuated the oxidative stress induced by peroxyl radicals, NO, $O_2{^-}$, and peroxynitrite. Phloroglucinol also increased cell viability and decreased lipid peroxidation in a concentration-dependent manner. WI-38 human diploid fibroblast cells were used to investigate the protective effect of phloroglucinol against hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced SIPS. Phloroglucinol treatment attenuated $H_2O_2$-induced SIPS by increasing cell viability and inhibited lipid peroxidation, suggesting that treatment with phloroglucinol should delay the aging process. The present study supports the promising role of phloroglucinol as an antioxidative agent against free radical-induced oxidative stress and SIPS.

  • Objective: Although various human cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been defined, their applications are restricted to immunocompromised models. Developing a novel CSC model which could be used in immunocompetent or transgenic mice is essential for further understanding of the biomolecular characteristics of tumor stem cells. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed murine lung cancer cells for the presence of CSCs. Methods: Side population (SP) cells were isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting, followed by serum-free medium (SFM) culture, using Lewis lung carcinoma cell (LLC) line. The self-renewal, differentiated progeny, chemosensitivity, and tumorigenic properties in SP and non-SP cells were investigated through in vitro culture and in vivo serial transplantation. Differential expression profiles of stem cell markers were examined by RT-PCR. Results: The SP cell fraction comprised 1.1% of the total LLC population. SP cells were available to grow in SFM, and had significantly enhanced capacity for cell proliferation and colony formation. They were also more resistant to cisplatin in comparison to non-SP cells, and displayed increased tumorigenic ability. Moreover, SP cells showed higher mRNA expression of Oct-4, ABCG2, and CD44. Conclusion: We identified SP cells from a murine lung carcinoma, which possess well-known characteristics of CSCs. Our study established a useful model that should allow investigation of the biological features and pharmacosensitivity of lung CSCs, both in vitro and in syngeneic immunocompetent or transgenic/knockout mice.
