This study was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxicity of cadmium on 3T3 fibroblast and to develop the antidote on 3T3 fibroblast which was injuried by $IC_{50}$ of cadmium. The groups for repaired effects were divided into 7 groups such as medium alone treated group. Cadmium treated $IC_{50}$ groups and 5 experimental groups $(IC_{50}$ cadmium plus $10^{-4}$ concentration of each methanol fraction). After incubation for 48 hrs in the same conditions, MTT (tetrazolium MTT), NR (neutral red) and SRB (sulforhodamine B protein) assay were measured. Light microscopic observations were also investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of Perilla frutescens showed significantly repaired effect against cadmium cytotoxiclty and this fraction inhibited critical cell regeneration in light microscopy.

Background & Objective : This study was performed to find a new anti-aging, anti-wrinkle agent. Ten kinds of hers were evaluated by proliferation, cytotoxicity, collagen synthesis tests in cultured human dermal fibroblast. Methods : MTT assay was carried out to check cell proliferation, cytotoxic effect of each herbal medicine. Collagen synthesis was investigated by the amount of propeptide using procollagen type-Ⅰ C peptide(PIP) ELISA kit(Takara). Results and Conclusions : There are no cytotoxicity in all group herbs by MTT assay. Collagen synthetic ability was greatest in LYCII FRUCTUS(LF) and was excellent in order of Rehmanniae Radix Preparat(RRP) > Nelumbinis Semen(NS) > Asparai Radix(AR) > Schizandrae Frucus(SF).

Individual surface(hydrophilic/hydrophobic) were prepared and mammalian cells were cultured on the hydrophilic region. For drug test, cancer and normal cells were treated with Taxol, as an example. Our system was compared with MTT assay. CHO cells were resistant to Taxol up to 100 nM in both Methods. However, A549 cells was sensitive at 100 nM Taxol in the 2 day-treatment. Cervical carcinoma cell, HeLa, was very sensitive to Taxol. In our system, the cells were not shown from above 20 nM Taxol treatment. Our system was competitive to MTT assay in animal cells for drug test.

Oryza sativa cv. Mihyangbyo is one of several recently developed varieties of rice; characterized by high levels of aromatic components, which may increase its sensory and nutritional properties. In conjunction with our continuing investigation of bioactive components of improved grain varieties, a quinolone alkaloid was isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of the aleurone layer of Oryza sativa cv. Mihyangbyo (Gramineae) through activity-guided fractionation and isolation. The compound exhibited moderate antineoplastic activity in a human leukemia cell line (U937) with an $IC_{50}$/ value of 118.1 ug/mL, based on the MTT(3-[4, 5]dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cell proliferation assay. The chemical structure of the functional compound was determined, based on physical and spectroscopic characteristics.

Potato kimchi, fermentation was carried out at $10^{\circ}$C for 15 days using various ratios of potato to kimchi (2.5%, 5%, 10%). The samples were determined according to the fermentation time, pH, acidity and growth of lactic acid bacteria in potato kimchi. The addition ratio of potato to kimchi had little effect on the pH, acidity or growth of lactic acid bacteria in potato kimchi. In comparison to baechu kimchi and mul-kimchi, the pH, acidity and growth of lactic acid bacteria was better in potato kimchi than in the other kimchi samples. The in vitro anticancer effect of potato kimchi was investigated using human cancer cells, AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. MTT assay revealed that the methanol extract of potato kimchi showed the highest anticarcinogenic effects.

We investigated effects of methanol extract of Aloe vera on anticancer drugs(cisplatin, mitomycin C, 5-fluorouracil)-induced growth inhibition in p388, L1210, HCT-15, SK-HepG-1 as cancer cell lines and mouse splenocytes as a normal cell by MTT assay, respectively. We also examined the effects of aloe extract and mitomycin C on the mitogen(Con, A, LPS)-induced splenocyte proliferation. Aloe extract(0.25 mg/m , 1.25 mg/m , 2.5 mg/m , 5.0 mg/m ) showed dose-dependently selective cytotoxicity against the cancer cell lines. In contrast, Aloe extract increased the growth and proliferation of the normal mouse splenocytes. The combination of aloe extract with anticancer drugs showed an additive effect for the cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines. However, that combination reduced clealy the anticancer drugs-induced toxicity against the normal mouse splenocytes.

In order to investigate ion release and biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V dental alloy by electrochemical corrosion test and MTT assay, commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy rod (99.99% Ti, USA, Co) were used in the study. The microstructure of the alloys was examined by optical microscopy (OM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), MTT assay, and corrosion test. From the polarization curves, very low current densities were obtained for Ti-6Al-4V alloys, indicating a formation of stable passive layer.

A coronary graft fabricated from PLGA poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) and chitosan electros puns deposited on poly caprolactone (PCL) electro spun tube. Mechanical properties of tube were evaluated through extruder machine depending on thickness of vessel wall. Biocompatible properties were evaluated by SEM morphology, amount of cell counting and MTT assay method for depending on culture days (1, 3, 5 days). MTT assay, counting cell and SEM morphology showed that cells were fast growth and immigration after 5 days. Biodegradability was monitored through loss weigh method for incubator days.

In order to investigate electrochemical behavior and biocompatibility of Co-Cr dental alloy by electrochemical corrosion test and MTT assay, the xCo-25Cr-yW-zNi alloys were used in this study. Samples of Co-Cr-W-Ni alloys were manufactured using arc melting furnace. The microstructure of the alloys was examined by optical microscopy (OM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), MTT assay, and corrosion test. Corrosion resistance increased slightly as cobalt (Co) content increased. And bioactivity was concerned with nickel (Ni) and tungsten (W). Biocompatibility of Co-Cr alloy depended on Ni and W contents.

본 연구에서는 발효 과정을 거친 구기자(Lycium chinense) 추출물을 이용하여 항염증 및 항노화 관련 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 활용가치를 검증하고자 nitric oxide (NO) 및 항노화 관련 인자들의 억제 효능을 분석하였다. 물과 70% 에탄올을 용매로 구기자를 추출, 발효, 농축, 동결건조하여 시료를 제조한 다음, MTT assay, NO inhibition activity assay, western blot assay, UPLC 분석을 진행하였다. MTT assay를 통해 세포독성을 측정한 다음, 500 ㎍/mL의 농도를 세포실험에 적용하여 진행하였다. NO 억제 효능의 분석 결과, 발효 구기자 열수 추출물(FLW), 발효 구기자 70% 에탄올 추출물(FLE) 각각 47.96%, 56.71%의 우수한 NO 억제 효능을 나타내었다. Western blot을 통해 주름 관련 단백질인 MMP-1, TRPV-1의 발현양상을 측정한 결과, FLW, FLE 모두 MMP-1, TRPV-1에 대한 발현 억제 효능을 나타내었다. 따라서 발효 구기자 추출물은 항염증 및 항노화 관련 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 높은 활용 가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
