Effects of Lycium chinensis, Epimedium koreanum and tuguaconitine which is isolated from Aconitum sibiricum on primary culture chicken embryonic brain cells were studied by microscopic observation and determined of the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex(PDHC). Brain cells were prepared from the brain of 10-day-old chicken embryo and cultured with a medicine consisted of 90% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium(DMEM) and 10% horse serum. It was observed that all substances studied seemed to show the tendency to stimulate the neurite outgrowth of brain cells which were cultured with a deficient medium under microscopic observation. The activity of PDHC in brain cells cultured with a deficient medium was increased by Lysium chinensis and Epimedium koreanum. However, tuguaconitine had not influence on the activity of PDHC.

The effects of the members of the same nuclear receptor superfamily (all-trans retinoic acid (RA), thyroid hormone(T3) or hydrocortisone) on proliferation and differentiation in the SK-N-SH neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines were studied. NB cells were treated with RA, T3, or hydrocortisone at concentration of 10$^{-6}$ M or 10$^{-8}$ M for 3 days or 7 days. RA induced concentration- and time-dependent morphologic differentiation(neurite outgrowth and microtubule-associated protein expression) and growth inhibition in NB cells. Treatment of 10$^{-7}$ M T3 for 7 days increased viability and differentiation of NB cells. Treatment of 10$^{-6}$ M hydrocortisone for 7 days increased viability of NB cells. Although these three effectors are members of the same receptor superfamily, the regulation of brain development may be carried out in a different manner.

The effect of ginseng saponin on chick embryonic dorsal root ganglia organ culture and brain, spinal cord, muscle dissociation cultures was studied. The fiber outgrowth in explanted chick embryonic dorsal root ganglia was markedly induced by water and alcohol extracts of ginseng, total ginseng saponin, protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol glycosides as well as ginsenosides R/sub b1/, R/sub d/, R/sub 0/+R/sub a/+R/sub b1/, and R/sub b2/+R/sub c/+R/sub e/ mixtures. The life span of the cultured chick embryonic dorsal root ganglia and potentiation of nerve cell density were also observed with all of these ginseng saponins. The effect of ginseng saponin on chick embryonic dorsal root ganglia organ culture was more marked in the absence of the chick embryonic extract which was known to contain nerve growth factor-like material in the culture media. However, the ginseng saponin did not influence the cultured central nervous system such as brain and spinal cord cells and cultured skeletal muscle cells with respect to the morphological changes, maturation and life span of these cells.

Leukocyte common antigen-related protein tyrosine phosphatases (LAR-RPTPs) are cellular receptors of heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) proteoglycans that regulate neurite outgrowth and neuronal regeneration. LAR-RPTPs have also received particular attention as the major presynaptic hubs for synapse organization through selective binding to numerous postsynaptic adhesion partners. Recent structural studies on LAR-RPTP-mediated trans-synaptic adhesion complexes have provided significant insight into the molecular basis of their specific interactions, the key codes for their selective binding, as well as the higher-order clustering of LAR-RPTPs necessary for synaptogenic activity. In this review, we summarize the structures of LAR-RPTPs in complex with various postsynaptic adhesion partners and discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying LAR-RPTP-mediated synaptogenesis.

This paper is an outgrowth of a study on recent papers and presentations of Hong Sung Sa, Hong Young Hee and/or Lee Seung On on Gugo Wonlyu which is believed to be written by the famous Joseon scholar Jeong Yag-yong. Most of what is discussed here is already explained in these papers and presentations but due to brevity of the papers it is not understood by most of us. Here we present them in more explicit and mathematical ways which, we hope, will make them more accessible to those who have little background in history of classical Joseon mathematics. We also explain them using elementary projective geometry which allow us to visualize Pythagorean polynomials geometrically.

In central nervous system. matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are produced by neuron as well as glia and implicated in physiological events such as neurite outgrowth and myelination etc. In addition. MMPs also contribute to the pathogenesis of several CNS diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and malignant glioma. In spite of their functional importance, little is known about the signal transduction pathways leading to the induction of MMPs in CNS. Here. we investigated whether the activation of Erk(1/2) is involved in the induction of MMP-9 in LPS-stimulated primary astrocytes. (omitted)

엑소좀은 세포에서 분비되는 작은 소낭체로서, 기원세포와 조직에 따라 다양한 기능을 수행하며, 세포생존 및 세포 간 커뮤니케이션에 중요한 역할을 한다. 최근 엑소좀을 활용하여 종양연구, 면역질환 개선, 질병진단 bio-marker 개발 등 다양한 분야에서 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 피부세포에서 분비기전 및 피부 생리적 기능에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 인체피부 유래 각질형성세포(HaCaT)로부터 분리된 엑소좀이 피부각질형성세포의 증식과 이주에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. HaCaT으로부터 ExoQuick-TC를 활용하여 엑소좀을 분리하고, 열처리 엑소좀(boiled exosome)과 무처리 엑소좀(unboiled exosome)으로 구분하였다. HaCaT 유래 엑소좀은 농도 의존적으로($0.1{\sim}20{\mu}g/mL$) HaCaT의 증식을 유도하였으며, $20{\mu}g/mL$에서 대조군(control)에 비해 각각 $186.96{\pm}3.87%$(열처리) 또는 $193.48{\pm}10.48%$(무처리)의 증식 유도활성을 나타내었다. 또한 HaCaT 유래 무처리 엑소좀은 농도 의존적인($0.1{\sim}20{\mu}g/mL$) HaCaT의 이주활성을 나타내었고, $20{\mu}g/mL$에서 대조군에 비해 $179.39{\pm}4.89%$의 이주를 유도하였다. 그러나 열처리 엑소좀은 이주 유도활성을 나타내지 않았다. 뿐만 아니라 무처리 HaCaT 유래 엑소좀은 collagen sprout outgrowth를 농도 의존적으로 유도함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 HaCaT 유래 엑소좀은 지질 및 열에 안정한 물질이 세포의 증식을 유도하고, 단백질 또는 열에 불안정한 물질이 세포의 이동 및 sprout out growth 활성에 관여하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 피부각질형성세포 유래 엑소좀은 피부의 재상피화 및 상처치유 등의 활성을 나타낼 수 있으며, 향후 화장품소재로서 응용 가능성이 확인되었다.

Embryoid bodies (EBs) generated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) include spontaneously induced endodermal lineage cells (ELCs). Activin-A plays important roles in the endoderm differentiation of hESCs. Despite studies on the generation of ELCs from hESCs with treatment of Actvin-A, it was unclear for localization and pattern of ELCs by Activin-A during differentiation of hESCs. Accordingly in this study, we knew that Actvin-A increased the cystic EBs formation, including the highly enriched AFP (endoderm lineage specific marker)-expressing cells in the surface of cystic EBs. To induce the EBs formation from undifferentiated hESCs, cells were transferred onto petri-dish and cultured in suspension condition without bFGF removed hESC media (EB media) for 3 days. Next to investigate the effect of Activin-A, EBs were subsequently cultured in EB media supplement with 100 ng/ml Activin-A for 3 days. After 5~7 days of Activin-A treatment, cystic EBs began to appear which increased in numbers reaching ~60% of initially formed EBs over 5 days. Endoderm lineage marker, AFP were highly expressed and specifically localized at the surface region of cystic EBs comparison with normal EBs. We next attached the cystic EBs onto gelatin-coated plates and cultured for 5 days. In the results of real-time PCR and immunocytochemistry analysis, AFP-expressing cells migrated and localized at the outgrowth region of attached cystic EBs. To obtain the AFP-expressing cells of the outgrowth region, we manually isolated by using micro-dissection and cultured them. These cells strongly express AFP over 70% of isolated cells post re-plating. Here, we first showed an expression pattern of specifically localized ELCs by Activin-A during differentiation of hESCs. From this observation, we could highly purified ELCs from undifferentiated hESCs. Taken together, our system will provide a novel and efficient option to generate ELCs from hESCs.

Alzheimer's disease(AD) is a geriatric dementia that is widespread in old age. In the near future AD will be the commom disease in public health service. Although a variety of oriental presciptions in study POD(Polygala tenuifolia extracted from dichlorometan) have been traditionally utilized for the treatment of AD, their pharmacological effects and action mechanisms have not yet fully elucidated. It has been widely believed that AP peptide divided from APP causes apoptotic neurotoxicity in AD brain. However, recent evidence suggests that CT105, carboxy terminal 105 aminoacids peptide fragment of APP, may be an important factor causing neurotoxicity in AD. SK-N-SH cells expressed with CT105 exhibited remarkable apoptotic cell damage. Based on morphological observations by phase contrast microscope and NO formation in the culture media, the CT105-induced cell death was significantly inhibited by POD. In addition, AD is one of brain degeneration disease. So We studied on herbal medicine that have a relation of brain degeneration. From old times, In Oriental Medicine, PO water extract has been used for disease in relation to brain degeneration. We were examined by ROS formation, neurite outgrowth assay and DPPH scravage assay. Additionally, we investigated the association between the CT105 and neurite degeneration caused by CT105-induced apoptotic response in neurone cells. We studied on the regeneratory and inhibitory effects of anti-Alzheimer disease in pCT105-induced neuroblastoma cell lines by POD. Findings from our experiments have shown that POD inhibits the synthesis or activities of CT105, which has neurotoxityies and apoptotic activities in cell line. In addition, treatment of POD(>50 ㎍/㎖ for 12 hours) partially prevented CT(105)-induced cytotoxicity in SK-N-SH cell lines, and were inhibited by the treatment with its. POD(>50 ㎍/㎖ for 12 hours) repaired CT105-induced neurite outgrowth when SK-N-SH cell lines was transfected with CT105. As the result of this study, In POD group, the apoptosis in the nervous system is inhibited, the repair against the degerneration of Neuroblastoma cells by CT105 expression is promoted. Decrease of memory induced by injection of scopolamin into rat was also attenuted by POD, based on passive avoidance test. Taken together, POD exhibited inhibition of CT105-induced apoptotic cell death. POD was found to reduce the activity of AchE and induced about the CA1 in rat hippocampus. Base on these findings, POD may be beneficial for the treatment of AD.
