It is known that mast cells (MCs) are increased in H. pylori-infected gastritis and its increase is mediated by stem cell factor (c-kit ligand). To determine the mechanism of mast cell recruitment and activation by stem cell factor, weinvestigated the expression of stem cell factor receptor (c-kit) in H. pylori-positive and -negative gastric mucosa. Biopsy specimens from 16 H. pylori-negative and 20 positive subjects were examined. H. pylori infection in gastric mucosa was examined by the Warthin-Starry method. MC and c-kit were identified by immunohistochemisty, using a monoclonal antihuman MC tryptase antibody and a polyclonal anti-human c-kit antibody. Densities of MC and c-kit positive cell were measured by a computerized image analysis system. MCs were detected in the lamina propria of both H. pylori-positive and -negative gastric mucosa. Densities of MC and c-kit positive cell were significantly greater in H. pylori-positive than -negative subjects. c-kit was located on the surface of MCs. These results indicate that stem cell factors may be one of the factors involved in mast cell increase and that they activate mast cells by binding with c-kit.

This study was carried out to discriminate Hanwoo from the milking and hybrid cattle by detection of MC1R gene related to bovine hair color. One hundred sixty six samples were collected from the abattoir (n = 106) and local market (n = 60). The beef from abattoir were originated from Hanwoo (n=27), Holstein (n=29), Hybrid (n=45) and imported cattle (n=5), respectively. The beef from market consisted of Hanwoo (n=36), Holstein (n=7) and imported ones (n=17). Commercialized screening kit (Kogenebiotec, Korea) was used for MC1R gene analysis. As a result, Hanwoo was discriminated from Holstein. However, 9 of 45 hybrid and 11 of 22 imported beef samples were indistinguishable from Hanwoo. It could be explained by second generation of crossing of Hanwoo with Holstein or the cattle with silver or yellow hair. This results suggest that additional tests as well as MC1R gene detection be needed to confirm Hanwoo beef among cattle beef.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-oral microbial activity and anti-inflammatory effects of rosmarinic acid (RA) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells on a titanium (Ti) surface during osseointegration, and to confirm the possibility of using RA as a safe natural substance for the control of peri-implantitis (PI) in Ti-based dental implants. Methods: A disk diffusion test was conducted to confirm the antimicrobial activity of RA against oral microorganisms. In order to confirm the anti-inflammatory effects of RA, inflammatory conditions were induced with 100 ng/ml of LPS in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells on the Ti surface treated with or without 14 ㎍/ml of RA. The production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in LPS-stimulated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells on the Ti surface was confirmed using an NO assay kit and PGE2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis were performed to confirm the expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in total RNA and protein. Results: RA showed weak antimicrobial effects against Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli, but no antimicrobial activity against the bacteria Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and the fungus Candida albicans. RA reduced the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, NO and PGE2, and proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β, in LPS-stimulated MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells on the Ti surface at the protein and mRNA levels. Conclusion: RA not only has anti-oral microbial activity, but also anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-stimulated MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts on the Ti surface, therefore, it can be used as a safe functional substance derived from plants for the prevention and control of PI for successful Ti-based implants.

Objective : This study was performed to evaluate the effects of Palmijihwang-hwan (Baweidehuang-wan) and Obaeja (Galla Rhois) on the regeneration of periodontal tissue. Methods : In this study, we used MC3T3-El cells, such as osteoblast-like cell lines and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts, for experimental material. We separated each type of cells into a control group and an experimental group. In the control group, the cells were cultivated for 48 hours with distilled water and media which contained 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin (l00unit/ml)-streptomycin ($l00{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$) at $37^{\circ}$ in 5% $CO_2$ gas. In the experimental group, the cells were cultivated for 48 hours with Palmijihwang-hwan extract and Obaeja extract (concentrations $1{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml,{\;}25{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml,{\;}50{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$) under the same conditions as the control group. Investigating the regeneration of periodontal tissue was performed by evaluating proliferation, the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the synthetic ability of proteins using those cultivated cells by means of microculture tetrazolium (MTT) assay, alkaline phosphatase substrate kit and protein assay kit. Results : 1. In vitro, Palmijihwang-hwan extract increased the proliferation of MC3T3-El cells. 2. In vitro, Obaeja extract increased the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the synthetic ability of protein in MC3T3-El cells and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts depending on Obaeja extract's concentration. Conclusion : Obaeja extract can be developed as a subsidiary medicine for the regeneration of periodontal tissue. Further studies to evaluate the different concentrations the Obaeja extract and clinical trials in vivo are suggested.

Objective : Morus alba Linne Root Bark (MRAL) is a medicinal herb in Korean Medicine, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. However, its mechanisms of action and the cellular targets have not yet been found and the study was developed to investigate the allergic suppressive effect of MRAL. The purpose of this study is to investigate the allergic suppressive effects of MRAL on activation of MC/9 mast cells. Methods : Cytotoxic activity of MRAL (50, 100, 200, 400 ${\mu}g/mL$) on MC/9 mast cells measured using EZ-Cytox cell viability assay kit (WST reagent). The levels of interleukin-5 (IL-5), IL-13 and IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13 mRNA expression were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time PCR respectively. The expression of transcription factors such as GATA-1, GATA-2, NFAT, AP-1 and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 DNA binding activity were measured by western blot and electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results : Our results indicated that MRAL (50 ${\mu}g/mL$, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$) significantly inhibited PMA/Ionomycin-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 and the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-13 mRNA in MC/9 mast cells. Moreover, MRAL (50 ${\mu}g/mL$, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$) inhibited PMA/Ionomycin-induced GATA-1, GATA-2, NFAT-1, NFAT-2, c-Fos protein expression and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 DNA binding activity in MC/9 mast cells. Conclusions : In conclusion, we suspect the anti-allergenic activities of MRAL, may be related to the regulation of transcription factors GATA-1, GATA-2, NFAT-1, NFAT-2, c-Fos and NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 DNA binding assay causing inhibition of Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 in mast cells.

Silica is known as a promising osteoconductive material, and polycaprolactone is a bioactive and degradable material. The purpose of this study was to monitor the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the layer-built silica/poly caprolactone non-woven fabric produced by electrospinning. Non-woven fabric (silica, polycaprolactone, PSP, SPS) was made by electrospinning and they were inserted in the 48 well cell culture plate. MC3T3-E1 cells were prepared by subculture. Cells were seeded to each well $1{\times}10^5$ concentration per well. Dulbecco's modified eagle medium with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic solution was used. Confocal laser scanning microscope was taken 4 hours after incubation (95% air. 5% $CO_2$, $37^{\circ}C$). Cell proliferation was monitored by spectrophotometer on 1, 7, 14 days, and the morphology of the growing cells was observed by field emission scanning electron microscope. To monitor the differentiation of osteoblasts on the materials, MC3T3-E1 cells were incubated in 48 well culture plate after seeding with the density of $1{\times}10^5$ concentration. Then ELISA kit & EIA kit were used on to assess osteocalcin and osteopontin expression respectively. The other conditions were the same as above. MC3T3-E1 cells were proliferated well on all of the materials. There were no statistical differences among them. The osteopontin expression of silica, PSP, SPS was significantly higher than other groups on day 3 (p/0,05), but after that time, there were no statistically signigicant differences. The osteocalcin expression was significantly higher in silica and PSP than other groups on day 14. These findings show that PSP was as good as silica on the effect of osteoblast differentiation. The PSP non-woven fabric may have the possibility as bone graft materials.
