  • The usage and types of chemicals are advancing, specializing, large-scaled increasing, and new chemical exposed workers are concerning to occupational disease. The generation of reactive oxygen in the body from carcinogen, mutation and DNA damage in cancer is protected by natural antioxidants (phytochemicals) with antimutagenic effect. There were many reports of ginsenoside Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$ grievances of the genetic mutation to suppress the effect confirm the genetic toxicity test with chromosomal aberration test and the Comet (SCGE) assay confirmed the suppression effect occurring chromosomal DNA damage. We had wanted to evaluate the compatibility and sensitivity between the chromosomal aberration (CA) test and the Comet assay. We used the CA test and Comet assay to evaluate the anti-genotoxicity of ginsenoside Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$, in CHO-K1 (Chinese hamster ovary fibroblast) cell in vitro, composed negative control (solvent), positive control (benzo[a]pyrene), test group (carcinogen+variety concentration of ginsenoside) group. The positive control was benzo[a]pyrene (50 $\mu$M), well-known carcinogen, and the negative control was the 1 % DMSO solvent. The test group was a variety concentration of ginsenoside Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$ with 10$^{-8}$%, 10$^{-6}$%, 10$^{-4}$%, 10$^{-2}$%, 1%, 10%. In chromo-somal aberration test, we measured the number of cells with abnormally structured chromosome. In Comet assay, the Olive tail moment (OTM) and Tail length (TL) values were measured. The ratio of cell proliferation was increased 8.3% in 10$^{-8}$%, 10$^{-6}$%, 10$^{-4}$%, 10$^{-2}$%, 1%, 10% Rb$_1$ treated groups, and increased 10.4% in 10$^{-10}$%, 10$^{-8}$%, 10$^{-6}$%, 10$^{-4}$%, 10$^{-2}$%, 1% Rg$_1$ treated groups. In the CA test, the number of chromosomal aberration was decreased all the Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$ treated groups. In the Comet assay, the OTM values were decreased in all the Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$ treated groups. To evaluate the compatibility between CA and Comet assay, we compared the reducing ratio of chromosomal abnormalities with its OTM values, it was identified the antimutagenicity of ginsenoside, but it was more sensitive the CA test than the Comet assay. Ginsenoside Rb$_1$ and Rg$_1$ significantly decrease the number of cells with chromosomal aberration, and decrease the extent of DNA migration. Therefore, ginsenoside Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$ are thought as an antioxidant phytochemicals to protect mutagenicity. The in vitro Comet assay seems to be less sensitive than the in vitro chromosomal aberration test.

  • This study has examined the effects of Aralia elata Seemann ethanol extract on antioxidant enzyme systems inrats along with benzo($\alpha$) pyrene(B(a)P) administration . The ethanol extract of Aralia elata Seemann (50mg/kg body wt.) was fed to rats for 4 weeks by stomach tubing. The extract administration increased antioxidant activities of glutathione sulfur transferase(GST) comparing to the control. also total superoxide dismutase(SOD) and Cu, Zn-SOD activities were stimulated. Catalase activities were increased by 50% with the extract feeding compared to the control . Combined administration of B($\alpha$)P and the extract increased GST activity in B($\alpha$) P group. Although total SOD acitivity was decreased , Cu, Zn-SOD was greately increased from 0.10unit to 0.18 unit and catalase activity also was increased compared to the group of B($\alpha$) P. GST activity in CLE group was 1.32 unit, increased by 33% comparing to the group CL of 0.99unit. Cu, Zn-SOD and catalase activities in thegroup fed high fat and ethanol extracts were increased by 25% and 39%, respectivley comparing to the group of high fat. In addition , total SOD was decreased but, Cu, Zn-SOD acitivity was increased from 0.09 unit to 0.18unit. Catalase activity was 76.05 unit in the group of B($\alpha$) P and extract comparing to 65.26 units in B($\alpha$)P group. Serum $\alpha$-tocopherol of rat was markedly increased by theextract. Administration of B9$\alpha$)P reduced $\alpha$-tocopherol levels in the serum, on the other hand, lard in the diet increased $\alpha$-tocopherol levels in the serum. The above results indicate that Aralia bud exerts antioxidant functions in vivo against B($\alpha$)P. Further research may be necessary for the identification fo the biologically active material.

  • Background: Phytochemical compounds are emerging as a new generation of anticancer agents with limited toxicity in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential effcts of thymoquinone, caffeic acid phenylester (CAPE) and resveratrol on inflammatory markers, oxidative stress parameters, mRNA expression levels of proteins and survival of lung cancer cells in Vitro. Materials and Methods: The A549 cell line was treated with benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(a)pyrene plus caffeic acid phenylester (CAPE), benzo(a)pyrene plus resveratrol (RES), and benzo(a)pyrene plus thymoquinone (TQ). Inflammatory markers, oxidative stress parameters, mRNA expression levels of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins and cell viability were assessed and results were compared among study groups. Results: TQ treatment up-regulated Bax and down-regulated Bcl2 proteins and increased the Bax/Bcl2 ratio. CAPE and TQ also up-regulated Bax expression. RES and TQ down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2. All three agents decreased the expression of cyclin D and increased the expression of p21. However, the most significant up-regulation of p21 expression was observed in TQ treated cells. CAPE, RES and TQ up-regulated TRAIL receptor 1 and 2 expression. RES and TQ down-regulated the expression of NF-kappa B and IKK1. Viability of CAPE, RES and TQ treated cells was found to be significantly decreased when compared with the control group (p=0.004). Conclusions: Our results revealed up-regulation of the key upstream signaling factors, which ultimately cause increase in their regulatory p53 levels affecting the induction of G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Overall these results provide mechanistic insights for understanding the molecular basis and utility of the anti-tumor activity of TQ, RES and CAPE.

  • Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a potent carcinogen and is classified as an endocrine-disrupting chemical. In mammalian testes, Sertoli cells support spermatogenesis. Therefore, if these cells are negatively affected by exposure to xenotoxic chemicals, spermatogenesis can be seriously disrupted. In this context, we evaluated whether mouse testicular TM4 Sertoli cells are susceptible to the induction of cytotoxicity-mediated cell death after exposure to B[a] P in vitro. In the present study, while B[a]P and B[a]P-7,8-diol were not able to induce cell death, exposure to BPDE resulted in cell death. BPDE-induced cell death is accompanied by the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-7. Depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and cytochrome c release from mitochondria were observed in benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE)-treated cells. These results indicate that TM4 cells are susceptible to apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses showed that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) expression was almost undetectable in TM4 cells and that its expression was not altered after B[a]P treatment. This indicates that TM4 cells are nearly AhR-deficient. In TM4 cells, the CYP1A1 protein and its activity were not present. From these results, it is clear that AhR may be a prerequisite for CYP1A1 expression in TM4 cells. Therefore, TM4 cells can be referred to as CYP1A1-deficient cells. Thus, TM4 Sertoli cells are believed to have a rigid and protective cellular machinery against genotoxic agents. In conclusion, it is suggested that tolerance to B[a]P cytotoxicity is associated with insufficient AhR and CYP1A1 expression in testicular Sertoli cells.

  • Objectives: Condurango is widely used in various systems of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) against oesophageal and stomach ailments including certain types of cancer. However, until now no systematic study has been conducted to verify its efficacy and dose with proper experimental support. Therefore, we examined if ethanolic extract of Condurango could ameliorate benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)-induced lung cancer in rats, in vivo to validate its use as traditional medicine. Methods: Fifteen male and 15 female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were treated with 0.28 mg/kg of Sweet Bee Venom (SBV) (high-dosage group) and the same numbers of male and female SD rats were treated with 0.2 mL/kg of normal saline (control group) for 13 weeks. We selected five male and five female SD rats from the high-dosage group and the same numbers of male and female SD rats from the control group, and we observed these rats for four weeks. We conducted body-weight measurements, ophthalmic examinations, urinalyses and hematology, biochemistry, histology tests. Results: A histological study revealed gradual progress in lung tissue-repair activity in Condurango-fed cancer-bearing rats, showing gradual tissue recovery after three months of drug administration. Condurango has the capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may contribute to a reduction in anti-oxidative activity and to an induction of oxidative stress-mediated cancer cell-death. Condurango-activated pro-apoptotic genes (Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9, p53, cytochrome-c, apaf-1, ICAD and PARP) and down-regulated antiapoptotic-Bcl-2 expression were noted both at mRNA and protein levels. Studies on caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage by western blot analysis revealed that Condurango induced apoptosis through a caspase-3-dependent pathway. Conclusion: The anticancer efficacy of an ethanolic extract of Condurango for treating BaP-induced lung cancer in rats lends support for its use in various traditional systems of medicine.

  • 발암물질인 benzo(a)pyrene(B(a)P)이 암세포에 대한 세포성 방어능을 나타내는 자연살해(natural killer(NK))세포 활성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 사료를 C57BL/6마우스에 노출시킨 후 NK세포활성을 MTT시험법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 정상 및 시료노출군 마우스의 NK세포활성은 표적세포인 Yac-1세포에 대한 사멸세포백분율(percent dead cell)로서 측정하였다. 정상마우스의 비장세포에 B(a)P를 노출시켰을 때 노출군들은 시료농도에 따른 활성도에 큰 변화는 없었으니 낮은 농도($2.5^{\mu}g/ml$)의 노출에서도 정상에 비하여 현격히 낮은 활성치를 보였다. 정상마우스에 시료를 투여한 후에 분리한 비장세포의 NK세포활성치는 E/T ratio 200/1에서, 1회 투여보다는 2-3회 투여군에서 유의한 감소를 나타냄으로서 반복노출의 효과를 보였다. 본 시험을 통하여 B(a)P는 마우스 면역계에 미치는 효과중 암형성에 지대한 영향을 주는 NK세포활성을 크게 저하시킴을 알 수 있었다.

  • Benzo[a]pyrene (BP)으로 유발한 mouse의 전위암 형성에 대한 astaxanthin 함유 난황 (astaxanthin-containing egg yolk : AEY)의 영향을 연구하였다. Female ICR mouse (6-7 주령, 5 mice/cage, 20 mice/treatment)에게 물과 사료를 자유로이 공급하면서 일주일간 적응시킨 후 다음과 같이 처리를 하였다. BP (2 mg/0.2 ml corn oil)를 각 mouse에 경구투여하기 4 일과 2 일 전에 50 mg AEY, 100 mg AEY, 150 mg AEY, 또는 150 mg control egg yolk (CEY)을 함유하는 phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) 0.2 ml를 경구투여하였다. Control mouse는 0.2 ml PBS와 BP 만 경구투여하였다. 이 과정을 4회 반복하였다. BP를 경구투여 한 일주일 후부터 몸무게와 사료섭취량을 매주 기록하였으며 24주 후에 생존한 모든 mouse에 대해 전위암 생성을 조사하였다. AEY를 처리한 mouse에서는 control mouse나 CEY 처리 mouse에 비해 mouse 당 암의 수가 1/3 정도로 감소되었다. 이와 같은 AEY의 항암효과는 AEY의 처리량에 비례하였다. AEY 처리에 따른 암발생율은 control이나 CEY 처리에 비해 감소되었으나 150 mg AEY 처리에서만 유의성이 있는 감소를 보였다. AEY 처리에 따른 몸무게나 사료 소비량의 감소현상은 볼 수 없었다. 따라서 이 결과는 AEY가 BP로 유발한 mouse의 전위암 발생을 억제함을 암시한다.

  • The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of puerariae Radix methanol extract on benzo(a) pyrene(B(a)P) - induced liver injuries in rats. In vitro experiment, primary cultured hepatocytes (5X105 cells/$m\ell$) were cultured for 20~24 hours after adding puerariae Radix mehtanol extract(32$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) and B(a)P(50 uM). In vivo experiment, Puerariae Radix methanol extract(0.25 g/kg/day, per os) was administered for 7 days and B(a)P(0.1 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) was given after the last administration of extract. And then the hepatoprotective effect of Puerariae Radix methanol extract was investigated biochemically through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Namely, activities of enzymes (GOT, GPT and LDH) were measured and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay were carried out in vitro cell culture study and GOT, GPT, LDH and ALP activities and HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglyceride contents were performed in vivo study. In vitro experiment, as a result of enzyme activity measurement(GOT, GPT and LDH) and MTT assay, GOT,GPT and LDH activities changed by B(a)P were recovered to normal levels and hepatocytes impaired by B(a)P were recovered to normal. In vivo experiment, Puerariae Radix methanol extract significantly decreased the enzyme activities(GOT, GPT, ALP and LDH in serum and GPT and ALP in tissue) and lipid contents in comparison to B(a)P-treated group.
