새로운 주름개선제 성분을 찾기 위해서 본 연구에서는 사람 피부 섬유아세포의 세포독성, 콜라겐 생합성, matrix metalloproteinase-I (MMP-1) 및 elastase 저해활성에 대한 Lactobacillus plantarum으로 발효된 오미자 발효액의 주름개선 효과를 평가하였다. 먼저, 오미자 추출물은 L. rhamnosus으로 $37^{\circ}C$에서 1일 동안 발효하였다. 발효물의 세포독성은 cytopathic effect reduction 방법에 의해 평가하였다. 콜라겐 생합성에 대한 발효물의 영향은 procollagen type-IC peptide EIA kit에 의해 평가하였으며, matrix metalloproteinase-I(MMP-1)에 대한 발효물의 영향은 Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 Biotrack activity Assay Kit에 의해 평가하였다. Elastase inhibition assay는 기질로써 N-Suc-$(Ala)_3$-nitroanilide을 사용하여 기질 반응에 의해 평가하였다. 결과로써 오미자 발효물은 사람 피부 섬유아 세포에 대해 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 또한 오미자 발효물은 콜라겐 생합성을 촉진시켰으며, MMP-1의 저해 효과를 나타내었다(p < 0.05). Elastase inhibition assay에서 오미자 발효물의 $IC_{50}$은 $36.4{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 오미자 발효물은 주름개선 효과를 보유하고 있으며, 이것은 피부의 주름개선을 위해 사용가능하리라 사료된다.

Angiogenesis is a fundamental process by which new blood vessels are formed. It is essential in embryo development, and wound healing. Furthermore, malignant tumor growth and metastasis are also angiogenesis-dependent. In the catilage tissue, normal angiogenesis process is suppressed. In fact, it was reported that angiogenesis-inhibitory substances were isolated from the extracts of cow and shark catilage tissue. In order to isolate genes involved in the regulation of angiogenesis from a catilage fish, we constructed a shark cDNA library from Scylliohinus torazame. We then screened the library using hyman tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) gene as a probe. Among the 4 X 10$^{4}$ plaques screened, we isolated 2 positive clones (T-1, T-2). Restriction enzyme analysis revealed that the T-1 clone contains 0.8 kb cDNA insert, and the T-2 clone contains 1.2 kb and 2.2 kb inserts, respectively. Further DNA sequence analysis shows that the DNA sequence of the T-1 clone is 53% homologous to that of the human TIMP-1 gene.

Our aim was to test the hypothesis that preoperative serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) and -9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) levels correlate with pathological features. Serum levels of MMP-7, and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were determined in 90 bladder cancer patients and 40 healthy controls using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Preoperative serum MMP-7 and MMP-9 levels were significantly higher in cancer patients than control groups (p<0.001). In contast, serum TIMP-1 levels were lower (p<0.001). Alteration in MMP-7, and MMP-9, and TIMP-1 production may contribute to tumor angiogenesis and be associated with clinic-pathological features.

Tumor invasion is composed of four steps: cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, degradation of the extracellular matrix components, tumor cell motility followed by cell detachment. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important proteinases that associated with degradation of matrix component. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a major polyphenotic constituent of green tea. In the study, we examined the anti-invasive and MMP activity suppression effects of EGCG in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-23l human breast cancer cells were cultured with various concentrations 0 - 100 μM of EGCG. EGCG significantly inhibited the cell adhesion to the fibronectin. Cell motility through gelatin filter and invasion to Matrigel were inhibited dose-dependently by EGCG treatment. EGCG also inhibited the activities of MMP-2, -9 and the amount of MMP-9 (α = 0.05). Therefore, EGCG may contribute to the potential beneficial food component to prevent the invasion and metastasis in breast cancer. (Korean J Nutrition 38(2): 104～111, 2005)

Background: Prostate cancer is a major concern of public health. Microvascular density (MVD) is one of the prognostic markers for various solid cancers. Matrix metalloproteinase 11 (MMP11) plays an important role in angiogenesis and changes in its expression level are known to be associated with tumor progression and clinical outcome. Aim: To investigate the relationship between MVD and MMP11 expression in prostatic adenocarcinoma tissues. Materials and Methods: The expression levels of MMP11 and MVD were analyzed immunohistochemically for 50 specimens of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Results: MMP11 was mainly expressed in stromal cells but rarely seen in epithelial cells. Mean MVD was $36/mm^2$, and it was correlated significantly only with bone metastases. MVD was also significantly correlated with MMP11 expression (r=0.29, p=0.044). Conclusions: MMP11 may alter the stromal microenvironment of prostate cancer to stimulate tumor angiogenesis.

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is used to lyse clots and reperfuse brain in ischemic stroke. However, sideeffects of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and edema limit their clinical application. In part, these phenomena has been linked with elevations in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in neurovascular unit. However little is known about their regulatory signaling pathways in brain cells. Here, I examine the role of MAP kinase pathways in tPA-induced MMP-9 regulation in rat cortical astrocytes. tPA $(1-10\;{\mu}g/ml)$ induced dose-dependent elevations in MMP-9 and MMP-2 in conditioned media. Although tPA increased phosphorylation in two MAP kinases (ERK, JNK), only inhibition of the JNK pathway by the JNK inhibitor SP600126 significantly reduced MMP-9 upregulation. Neither ERK inhibition with U0126 nor p38 inhibition with SB203580 had any significant effects. Taken together, these results suggest that c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays an essential role for tPA-induced MMP-9 upregulation.

Diallyl disulfide (DADS), an oil-soluble organosulfur compound in garlic has been reported to suppress tumor growth and to induce apoptosis in cancer. In the present study, we investigated the effects of DADS on pulmonary metastasis of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells. DADS (i.p. 40 mg/kg) significantly (p<0.05) reduced the number of pulmonary metastatic nodules (48%) in experimental pulmonary metastasis assay. We also found that DADS inhibited adhesion, invasion and migration of B16-F10 melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. To study the antimetastatic potential of DADS, we performed the effects of DADS on matrix metalloproteinase activity. DADS significantly inhibited the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity in B16-F10 cells by gelatin zymography. These results suggest that DADS prevent metastasis in part through suppression of migration of B16-F10 melanoma cells by Inhibiting matrix metalloproteirase-2 responsible for degradation of extracellar matrix.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to reveal how collagenases (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-1, 8, 13) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) are expressed in immunohistochemistry of retrodiscal tissue in temporomandibular joint disorder patients. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 39 patients who underwent discoplasty or discectomy. Immunohistochemical staining was undertaken and expression levels of MMP-1, 8, 13, and TIMP-1 were evaluated. The status of internal derangement of disc, osteoarthritis, and joint effusion were analyzed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Disc status observed during operation was also categorized. Results: The more severe disc derangement was observed on MRI, the more increased expression of MMPs and TIMP-1 appeared. Regarding MMP-13 expression, 86.7% of late-stage disc displacement patients showed grade II or III. Expression level of MMPs or TIMP was not statistically significant associated with joint effusion level. In perforation and/or adhesion groups, all patients showed grade II or III expression of MMP-13. Once perforation occurred, MMP-13 showed increased expression with statistical significance. Conclusion: MMP-1 and MMP-13 expression seem to be related to progression of osteoarthritis whereas MMP-8 does not seem to have a specific role with regard to temporomandibular joint disorders. TIMP-1 is considered to be partly related to internal derangement rather than osteoarthritis, but it is not significant.
