세포괴사는 세포막의 파열, HMGB1을 포함한 세포 내용물의 세포외부로의 방출 등을 수반하는 세포죽음이다. HMGB1은 핵 단백질로 전사조절자로 작용하지만 세포괴사에 의해 세포 밖으로 방출되면 염증을 유발하고 암을 촉진하는 cytokine으로 작용한다. HMGB1의 과발현은 암 발생 및 항암제 저항과 밀접한 연관성을 가지고 있지만, 그 기작에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는, HMGB1이 항암제에 의한 세포 죽음에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, HMGB1은 MCF-7, MDA-MB231, MDA-MB361 세포에서 cisplatin에 의한 세포사멸을 억제하고 세포운명을 세포괴사로 바꾼다는 사실을 확인하였다. HMGB1의 세포사멸-세포괴사 전환 작용을 4-HC를 처리한 세포에서도 관찰되었다. 그러나, HMGB1은 docetaxel (DOC)에 의한 세포사멸에는 영향을 주지 않음을 확인하였다. MTS를 이용하여 항암제에 의한 세포 죽음에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, necrotic core가 형성된 8일째 MCF-7 MTS에서 cisplatin에 의한 세포사멸이 세포괴사로 바뀌는 반면, DOC에 의한 세포사멸은 세포괴사로 전환되지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 spheroid에서 HMGB1 receptor인 RAGE의 발현이 증가함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해, HMGB1이 alkylating agent에 의한 세포사멸을 세포괴사로 전환시킴을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, alkylating agent에 의한 항암제 효능을 나타내기 위해선, 이들 항암제의 부작용 즉 세포괴사를 억제하는 전략이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

The cytotoxic activity of 13(E)-labd-13-ene-8α, 15-diol (1) was evaluated against tumor cell lines. A comparison of IC/sub 50/ values of this compound in cancer cell lines showed that their susceptibility to this compound decreased in the following order: P388>B16{F10>MDA-MB-231>A549>KB>SNU-C4 by the MTT method. 13(E}-Labd-13-ene-8α, 15-diol (1) was the most effective growth inhibitor of P388 murine leukaemia cell lines, producing approximately 8.3㎍/mL of IC/sub 50/ in the MTT method.

An alkaloid, 3-methylcanthin-5, 6-dione, was isolated from the stem of Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn. and characterized by comprehensive analyses of its 1D and 2D NMR spectra. It was also evaluated for its cytotoxic activity in vitro against three human cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, HT-29 and NCI-N87), using MTT assays. We found that 3-methylcanthin-5, 6-dione exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity via inhibiting NO production induced in LPS-stimulated murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. The antioxidant activity of 3-methylcanthin-5, 6-dione was measured by DPPH free radical scavenging assays, hydroxyl radical scavenging assays and reducing power assays. Our results showed that 3-methylcanthin-5, 6-dione has significant biological activities.

Chemopreventive and cytotoxic effect of genistein against human breast cancer cell lines was investigated. Genistein inhibited cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast carcinoma cell lines. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity was inhibited by genistein in a concentrationdependent manner. Genistein significantly inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cyclooxy-genase-2 activity and protein expression at the concentrations of 10 (p < 0.05), 25 (p < 0.05) and 50 mM (p < 0.01). In addition, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity was reduced to 53.8 % of the control after 6 h treatment with 50 mM genistein in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. These results suggest that genistein could be of therapeutic value in preventing human breast cancer.

In the process of protein transcription and translation, various protein complexes bind to DNA, and all processes are precisely controlled. Among the proteins constituting this complex, a peptide derived from eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2 was synthesized. In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of transduction of this peptide into cells, peptides with polyarginine, one of the protein transduction domains (PTD), were synthesized. Cell growth inhibition was confirmed in HER2 positive breast cancer (SK-Br-3) and HER2 negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), and cardiomyocytes (H9c2). The peptide with polyarginine had high transduction efficiency in all cells, and had excellent cancer cell growth inhibitory effects. The peptide used in this study might be useful peptide therapeutics for the treatment of cancer through future research.

Marine sponges have been a remarkably rich source of pharmacologically active and structurally diverse natural products. As a part of our continuing search for novel secondary metabolites of biomedical importance from marine invertebrate, we encountered the sponge Lipastrotethya sp. from Chuuk, Micronesia. The crude organic extract of this animal exhibited considerable cytotoxicity against the K562 cell line. Guided by the $^1H$ NMR analysis, flash chromatography of the crude extract followed by HPLC yielded a new triterpene glycoside, along with ten known saponins of the sarasinoside class. The structure of this new compound was determined by combined spectroscopic methods such as COSY, HSQC and HMBC experiment. Among these metabolites, six compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against ACHN, MDA-MB-231, NCI-H23 and NUGC-3 cell lines.

Polysaccharides from the starfish Asterina pectinifera were assessed in vitro for their chemopreventive potential in human breast cancer. The polysaccharides from A. pectinifera inhibited cell proliferation in the estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast carcinoma cell lines. In addition, the polysaccharides were found to be an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity, and caused a dose-dependent inhibition of aromatase activity in microsomes isolated from a human placenta. There was a significant reduction in the ornithine decarboxylase activity to 30.7% of the control in the polysaccharide-treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Therefore, the polysaccharides from A. pectinifera merit further investigation with respect to breast cancer chemoprevention.

This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxic effects of Houttuynia cordata THUNB extracts on A549 (lung cancer), MDA-MB231 (breast cancer), SNU-C4 (colon cancer) and B16 (mouse melanoma) cell lines. We have determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. The 150 $\mu$g/$m\ell$ concentration of methanol extract (63.81 ％) of Houttuynia cordata THUNB was shown significantly antitoxic activity on A549 cell lines. (omitted)

The cytotoxic activity of 13(E)-Labd-13-ene-8$\alpha$, 15-diol(1), isolated from the ethanol extract of Brachyglottis monroi was evaluated against tumor cell lines such as P388, SNU-C4 MDA-MB231, B 16 melanoma and A549 in vitro. By mean of spectral analysis particularly by the aid of various two dimensional NMR experiments, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR signals of (1) was completely assigned, and thus the structure of (1) was established unambiguously.
