The purpose of this study is to examine the viability of PDL cells in rat molars by using MTT assay and to verify the MTT assay through the histologic observation. Thirty of Sprague-Dawley white female rats of 4-weeks old with a body weight of about 100 grams were used. Groupings are as follows : Immediate Group : Positive control group(n=10)-after extraction immediately. Dried Group : Negative control group(n=10)-after drying for an hour under warm dry. $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ Group : 1hour $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ group(n=10)-after storing in $ViaSpan^{\circledR}{\;}at{\;}4^{\circ}C$ for 1hour. Ten teeth of each group were treated as same as above and replanted to the original socket of experimental animals. After two weeks of replantation. all the experimental animals were sacrificed. And after fixation, extracted maxillary jaw was dimineralized. After it was embedded in paraffin. serial section by $5\mu\textrm{m}$ was carried out and for construction of specimen, hematoxylin-eosin dye was used. The mean MTT measurement of immediate group(positive control) is 2.81 and the mean measurement of dried group(negative control) is 0.98 which is significantt differnt(P<0.05), The mean measurement of $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ group is 2.65 and there is significant difference between dried group and $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ group(P<0.05), However, there is no difference between immediate group and $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ group. The average resorption points of immediate group is 3.03 points. In the dried group, average 6.44 points resorption and 2.68 points showed resorption in the $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ group. Unlike with MTT assay, there was no significant difference between the immediate group and $ViaSpan^{\circledR}$ group. The usage of MTT assay as a viable cell marker may give us a better indication of the maintenance of periodontal ligament cell vitality.

The anticancer effect of methanol extracts from common Chinese cabbage kimchi(CC kimchi ) and organically cultivated Chinese cabbage kimchi (OC kimchi) was studied on the cell growth, MTT assay and SRB assay using AGS human gastric cancer cells. Methanol extracts from CC kimchi and OC kimchi exhibited the anticancer activites in vitro and in vivo. Methanol extract from 6 day-fermented CC kimchi and OC kimchi inhibited the growth of AGS cells by 55.2 and 60.7% , respectively. At MTT assay an dSRB assay, 6 day-fermented OC kimchi showed higher inhibition rate (MTT : 42%, SRB : 61%) than 6 day-fermented CC kimchi(MTT : 33%, SRB : 52%). Methanol extracts from 6-day fermented CC kimchi and OC reduced the tumor formation and prolonged the life span of sarcoma-180 cell injected Balb.c mouse. OC kimchi treated group resulted in the smaller tumor weight of 4.58$\pm$0.32g compared th the CC kimchi group of 5.40$\pm$0.78g and the control group of 7.50$\pm$0.54g and OC kimchi treted group (25.3 days) lived longest among control (20.2days ) and CC kimchi(23.5days) treted groups.

Benzimidazole계 살균제의 세포독성을 평가하기 위하여 CHL(chinese hamster lung) 세포를 이용한 Giemsa stain assay, Lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) activity, MTT assay, DNA synthesis inhibition test 및 Sulforhodamin B(SRB) assay를 수행하여 benzimidazole 계 살균제에 대한 약제별 세포독성을 평가하고 위해도 평가를 위한 자료로 사용하고자 하였다. 시험결과 LDH 활성은 carbendazim 4.0, 16.0 및 $32.0{\mu}g/mL$을 24 시간 처리하였을 때 음성대조군에 비해 농도별로 세포독성이 각각 2.16, 2.94 및 2.64배 강하게 나타났다. DNA 합성시험에서는 carbendazim $2.0{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 약 45% DNA 합성을 저해하였으며, Giemsa assay와 MTT assay에서도 세포와 mitochondria에 독성을 일으키는 것으로 나타났다. Giemsa assay의 $IC_{50}$은 thiophanate-methyl, benomyl, carbendazim 및 양성대조 약제인 captafol에서 각각 >125, 1.2, 30.0 및 $0.3{\mu}g/mL$ 이었고, MTT assay의 $IC_{50}$은 thiophanate-methyl, benomyl, carbendazim 및 captafol에서 각각 >125, 18.7, 20.4 및 $2.6{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 그리고 세포 증식에 대한 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행된 SRB assay 의 $IP_{50}$(반수세포증 식억제농도)에서도 thiophanate-methyl, carbendazim, benomyl 및 captafol이 각각 17.4, 5.3, 1.5, 및 $0.5{\mu}g/mL$으로 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과는 급성독성이 낮은 benzimidazole계 살균제가 유전독성 등 특수독성이 강하게 나타나는 원인일 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was undertaken to clerify the cytotoxic effect of syringic acid by colorimetric assay on human cancer cells. For the evaluation of cytotoxicity of syringic acid, the cell viability and cell adhesion activity of syringic acid on cancer cells, human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells were determined using by colorimetric assays such as MTT (3-[4,5­dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and XTT (2,3-bis-[2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]­2H-tetrazolium-5-caboxanilide) assay, respectively after human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells were treated with syringic acid for 48 hours. In this study, the cell viability of syringic acid on human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells showed a significant decrease by MTT assay compared with control, and also, the cell adhesion activity by XTT assay was decreased significantly in these cells after cells were treated with various concentrations of syringic acid for 48 hours. $MTT_{50}\;and\;XTT_{50}\;were\;282.3\;{\mu}M\;and\;418.8{\mu}M$ syringic acid, respectively. These results suggest that syringic acid shows midcytotoxic effect on human oral epithelioid carcinoma cells by the decreasement of the cell viability and the cell adehision activity assessed by colorimetric assay in these cultures.

본 연구에서는 유황오리로부터 항종양 효과를 나타내는 물질을 용매 추출법과 각종 크로마토그래피를 사용하여 분리 및 정제하였다. 유황오리로부터 정제한 활성 물질의 각종 종양세포에 대한 항암 효과를 측정한 결과 MTT assay는 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL의 농도에서 HEp-2는 56%, KB는 58%의 세포 증식 억제 효과가 나타났다. 정상 세포주인 MDBK는 28%의 세포증식억제 효과가 나타나 정상 세포에 대한 세포 독성은 나타나지 않았다. Clonogenic assay는 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL의 농도에서 HEp-2는 26%, KB는 28%의 생존율을 나타내었다. 따라서 유황오리로부터 정제한 활성 물질은 후두암 세포주인 HEp-2와 구강암 세포주인 KB에서만 특이적으로 세포 증식 억제 효과를 나타내었다.

소염효과를 나타내는 생약 15종을 선별하여 이들 생약 추출물이 Chloropromazine에 의한 UVB 광독성에 미치는 영향을 in vitro 실험법 중 Candida albicans test, RBC photohemolysis, MTT assay에 의한 cytotoxicity 측정법의 방법을 이용하여 조사하였다. Candidal albicans teat에 의해 광독성의 광량 및 화학물질 의존성을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 광독성 억제 효과를 검색하기에 적당한 UVB조사량 및 CPZ농도는 2.1 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.6mg인 것으로 생각되었다. Candida albicans test에 의해 CPZ에 의한 UVB 광독성에는 P. persica, E. officinalis가 억제효과를 보임을 알 수 있었으며, RBC photohemolysis 결과 모든 생약시료들에 대해 hemolysis가 감소되었으며, 특히, Yeast, P. suffruticosa에 의한 % hemolysis는 34.42$\pm$1.01, 35.30$\pm$4.7로 유의성 있는 억제효과를 나타냄을 관찰할 수 있었다. MTT assay에 의한 cytotoxicity 측정 결과, UVB 조사에 이하여 세포생존율은 감소되었고, 시료처리시 세포생존율은 증가됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of ferulic acid on cell viability and cell adhesion activity in normal human gingival fibroblasts. The cell viability and cell adhesion activity of ferulic acid was measured by MTT assay or XTT assay, respectively, after normal human gingival fibroblasts were treated with or without ferulic acid for 48 hours. The cell viability of ferolic acid on normal human gingival fibroblasts did not show any decreasement by MTT assay and also, cell adhesion activity did not decreased by XTT assay, respectively, compared with control after cells were treated with various concentrations of ferolic acid for 48 hours. MTT/sub 50/ and XTT/sub 50/ were 2,130.0 μM and 1,773.7 μM ferolic acid, respectively. These results suggest that ferolic acid is non-toxic to normal human gingival fibroblasts by showing no significant differences in the cell viability and the adhesion activity compared with control by colorimetric assay.

여러 종류의 미백제들이 한국에서 보고되고 있으나 표준화된 유효성 protocol은 아직 확립되지 않은 실정이다. 그러므로 경제적이고 재현성있는 표준화된 유효성방법이 필요하다. 비방사선표지된 멜라닌정량법은 멜라닌형성에 대한 정량법으로 좋은 방법이 될 수 있으며 정상적인 사람의 melanocyte를 이용한 MTT assay는 세포의 proliferation을 정량하기 위한 좋은 방법에 될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 예로부터 민간과 한방에서 널리 이용되어 온 오매를 이용하여 오매 추출물이 간암 및 자궁암 세포주 증식에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 오매를 hexane. chloroform, ethylacetate, methanol 및 열수로 순차 추출하여 분획물을 농도별로 조제하였으며, MTT assay, cytotoxicity test 및 현미경 관찰 등을 통하여 암세포의 성장 억제 효과를 알아보았다. Hep G2의 경우 오매의 ethylacetate추출물이 가장 큰 성장 저해 효과를 나타내었으며 MTT assay결과 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 농도 이상에서부터 유의적인 증식 억제 효과를 보였다. 또한 cytotoxicity test결과 오매의 ethylacetate 추출물 1000$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml농도에서 72시간 배양시 75%의 세포 파괴율을 나타내었으며 현미경 관찰 결과 세포의 모양이 변화되고 죽은 세포가 배양액위에 떠있음을 관찰할 수 있었다. HeLa cell에서는 오매의 hexane 추출물이 가장 큰 저해 효과를 나타내었으며 MTT assay 결과 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 농도 이상에서부터 유의적인 증식 억제 효과를 보였다 또한 cytotoxicity test 결과 오매의 hexane추출물 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml농도에서 72시간 배양시 HeLa cell의 68%가 파괴되었으며 현미경 관찰 결과 세포 모양의 형태학적 변화가 일어났다. 정상세포주인 fibroblast에는 오매의 ethylacetate 및 hexane 추출물이 아무런 유의적 영향을 미치지 않았으며 현미경 관찰 시에도 변화가 일어나지 않았다
