This study was designed to elucidate the mechanism of nephrotoxicity caused by antitumor agent tetraphosphine platinum (II) complex (RC-1), which was synthesized as a tetraphosphine Pt (II) derivatives recently. Rats treated with RC-1 (20mg/kg/day) showed the increase of BUN value and malondialdehyde contents in kidney homogenate, compared to the control and which means the lipid peroxidation was a main cause of nephrotoxicity. In order to investigate the cytotoxic mechanism of RC-1, we also tested and revealed the generation of oxygen free radicals derived from neutrophil stimulated by RC-1 and interaction of the oxygen free radicals with the erythrocyte membrane. From the above results, we suggest that nephrotoxicity of general platinum (II) antitumor compounds as well as RC-1 were inhibited by radical scavengers.

Thunbergia Laurifolia Linn. (TL) is one of the most familiar plants in Thai traditional medicine that is used to treat various conditions, including cancer. However, the antitumor activity of TL or its constituents has never been reported at the molecular level to support the folklore claim. The present study was designed to investigate the antitumor effect of an aqueous extract of TL in human breast cancer cells and the possible mechanism(s) of action. An aqueous crude extract was prepared from dried leaves of TL. Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric assays were used to determine the total phenolic content. Antiproliferative and cell cycle effects were evaluated in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells by MTT reduction assay, cell growth inhibition, clonogenic cell survival, and flow cytometric analysis. Free radical generation by the extracts was detected using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The exposure of human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells to a TL aqueous extract resulted in decreases in cell growth, clonogenic cell survival, and cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner with an $IC_{50}$ value of $843{\mu}g/ml$. Treatments with extract for 24h at $250{\mu}g/ml$ or higher induced cell cycle arrest as indicated by a significant increase of cell population in the G1 phase and a significant decrease in the S phase of the cell cycle. The capability of the aqueous extract to generate radical intermediates was observed at both high pH and near-neutral pH conditions. The findings suggest the antitumor bioactivities of TL against selected breast cancer cells may be due to induction of a G1 cell cycle arrest. Cytotoxicity and cell cycle perturbation that are associated with a high concentration of the extract could be in part explained by the total phenolic contents in the extract and the capacity to generate radical intermediates to modulate cellular proliferative signals.

Objectives : There is a possibility LRE as remedy in Alzheimer disease (AD), but it's nerve protection effect and mechanism have to be elucidate. In this research, we applied LRE on $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ pre-treated SH-SY5Y cells, to find out the nerve protection effect and mechanism in AD cell model. Methods : We tried to confirm that effect by experimenting with 20, 50, and $100{\mu}g/ml$ concentration of LRE as a medicine. Next experiment, we assessed damage effect which induced $A{\beta}_{25-35}$, known to cause AD, on SH-SY5Y cell. In addition, cellular viability test is executed under $H_2O_2$ treatment condition in a SH-SY5Y cell. Results : 1. In $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ treated SH-SY5Y cell, LRE exhibited an anti-phosphorylation effect about tau protein, JNK, and IKB. 2. LRE prevent nerve cell apoptosis, which indued $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ and oxidative stress, modify JNK engaged synaptic structure and $NF{\kappa}B$ induced p75-neurotrophin receptor polymorphism. Conclusions : We found that LRE prevented oxidative stress-induced cellular destruction, for example, increased SOD activity of $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ treated SH-SY5Y cell and reduced toxicity of oxygen free radical. Consequently, the ingredients of LRE have a role as a catalyzer for $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ clearance and as scavenger for active oxygen free radical.

연구배경 : 급성 폐손상의 기전에 관한 연구는 많이 진행되어 있으나 아직 확실한 결론을 내리기에는 미흡한 실정이다. 최근에 산소기의 병인론적 역할에 관한 관심이 고조되고 있으나 이것도 아직 확실히 규명되지 못한 실정이고 내독소에 의한 백서의 급성 폐손상에 관해서는 경험이 일천한 상태이다. 이에 저자들은 백서에서 내독소투여 후 시간경과에 따른 폐포내 호중구 침윤과 폐포-모세혈관 투과성의 변화를 관찰하고 hydroxyl radical 탐식제인 DMTU와 hydroxyl radical 형성에 중요한 역할을 하는 철분제거제인 DFX 전처치가 이에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 hydroxyl radical이 내독소에 의한 백서의 급성 폐손상에서 호중구의 이동과 폐포-모세혈관 투과성의 증가에 마치는 영향을 평가하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 50마리의 백서를 대조군 (n=5, 6hrs; n=5, 24hrs), 내독소 투여군 (n=10, 6hrs; n=10 24hrs), DMTU 전처치군 (n=10, 6hrs) 과 DFX 전처치군 (n=10, 6hrs) 으로 나누어 희생하기 30분전에 $^{125}I$을 붙인 bovine serum albwnin을 꼬리 정맥에 주사하였다. 내독소를 투여하고 6시간과 24시간이 경과한 후 백서를 희생시켜서 폐조직과 말초혈액 1 ml의 방사능을 측정하여 이 둘의 비를 폐포-모세혈관 투과성의 지표로 사용하였다. 다른 52마리의 백서를 위와 같이 4개의 군으로 나누어 [대조군 (n=5, 6hrs; n=5, 24hrs), 내독소투여군 (n=7, 6hrs; n=8, 24hrs), DMTU 전처치군 (n=6, 6hrs; n=9, 24hrs)과 DFX 전처치군 (n=5, 6hrs; n=7, 24hrs)] 내독소를 투여하고 6시간과 24시간이 경과한 후 희생시켜 말초혈액과 기관지폐포세척액의 구성세포와 폐의 병리조직학적 소견을 관찰하였다. 결과 : 내독소를 투여하고 6시간이 경과한 후 폐포-모세혈관 투과성이 증가되었다가 24시간이 경과한 후 정상대조군 수준으로 회복되는 양상을 보였는데 6시간만에 DMTU와 DFX 전처치로 유의하게 완화되었다. 폐조직으로의 호중구 침윤은 내독소를 투여하고 24시간이 경과한 후 관찰되었는데 이는 DMTU와 DFX 전처치로 완화되지 않았다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 내독소에 의한 백서의 급성 폐손상에서 hydroxyl radical은 호중구의 이동에는 관여하지 않을 것으로 생각되며 주로 폐포-모세혈관 투과성 증가에 관여할 것으로 생각된다.

It has been well known that extended exposure to reactive oxygens causes severe damage to susceptible biomolecules. In this study, the effects of flavonoids including trifling and kaempferol from Ginseng leaves on single oxygen induced photohemolysis of erythrocytes and free radical scavenging activities were investigated . Each flavonoid aglycone (5-50UM) such as kaempferol, quercetin or baicalein exhibited a high protective effect against the photohemolysis. They protected the cells by scavenging 102 and free radicals. Although the free radical scavenging activities of the flavonoid glycosides were not much lower than those of their corresponding aglycones, their insolubility into lipid bilayers of membrane made them less effective in preventing the photohemolysis induced by 1O2. The 102 and free radical scavenging activities of flavonoids were estimated by the decomposition of the flavonoid by 1O2 and the bleaching of free radicals by the flavonoid, respectively. The solubilization of the flavonoid into micelle or erythrocytes was deduced from spectrophotometric and microscopic observations. The cooperation of L-ascorbic acid and a flavonoid, and a possible involvement of lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase in the photohemolysis mechanism were discussed. Keywords Panax ginseng C.A Meyer, ginseng leaves, flavonoids, singe1 oxygen, Photohemolysis.
