  • CD95 receptor is a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor family that mediates apoptosis in many cell types when bound by CD95 ligand or cross-linked by agonistic anti-CD95 antibodies. To determine the role of neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) on CD95-mediatd apoptosis, human Jurkat T lymphocytes were exposed to recombinant human CD95 ligand. Treatment with CD95 ligand induced cell death in a concentration and time-dependent manner. CD95-induced cell death was suppressed by inhibitors of SMase such as AY9944 or desipramine. Transfection with human nSMase1 siRNA plasmid into CD95 ligand-treated cells significantly prevented CD95-mediated cell death. CD95-mediated elevation of intracellular ceramide level detected by FACS analysis with anti-ceramide antibody was also decreased by nSMase1 siRNA. Knock-down of nSMase1 expression also blocked cytochrome c release into cytosol and caspase-3 cleavage in CD95-treated cells. Taken together, these results suggest that nSMase1 may play an important role in CD95-mediated apoptotic cell death in Jurkat T cells.

  • Histone deacetylase inhibitors are new class of chemotherapeutic drugs able to induce tumor cell apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest. Trichostatin A, an antifungal antibiotic, and HC-toxin are potent and specific inhibitors of histone deacetylase activity. In this study, we have examined the antiproliferative activities of trichostatin A and HC-toxin in estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer, T47D cells. Both trichostatin A and HC-toxin showed potent antiprolifer-ative efficacy and cell cycle arrest at $G_2/M$ in T47D human breast cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Trichostatin A caused potent apoptosis of T47D human breast cancer cells and trichostatin A-induced apoptosis might be involved in an increase of caspase-3/7 activity. HC-toxin evoked apoptosis of T47D cells and HC-toxin induced apoptosis might not be medi-ated through direct increase in caspase-3/7 activity. We have identified potent activities of anti-proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest of trichostatin A and HC-toxin in estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line T47D.

  • 특정 외부항원에 노출됨으로써 생기는 피부에서의 지연형 면역과민반응을 형태학적으로 조사하기위해서 시행된 본 실험은 DNCB에 의해 인위적인 알러지성 접촉피부염을 유발시킨 후 시간의 경과에 따른 피부의 일반적인 형태, 비만세포의 변화, IL-2 receptor의 변화를 관찰하였다. DNCB 2차감작 후 실시된 contact hypersensitivity assay 결과 대조군에 비해 DNCB 처리군에서는 ear swelling이 점점 증가하여 48시간에 가장 높게 측정 되었다. 피부 조직의 일반적인 형태변화도 DNCB접종 후 48시간에서 가장 심한 피부손상의 양상을 보였는데, 진피에서 림프구 aggregation의 증가, 혈관직경의 증가, 표피로의 림프구 infiltration 증가가 일어났다. Semithin section을 통해 관찰된 DNCB처리군의 미세구조의 변화는 표피세포질내 액포화의 증가와 세포사이공간의 확장이었다. 진피에서 비만세포 수가 증가되었으며, 그 형태는 분비과립을 함유하고 있는 degranulated type으로 나타났다. 피부 진피에서 IL-2 receptor 양성반응세포수가 증가되었으며, 표피로 infltration된 IL-2 receptor 양성반응세포가 48시간에서 가장 많이 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 DNCB 감작에 의해 세포성면역과민반응이 일어나며, 이후 면역관여세포들의 복합적인 작용에 의해 급격한 염증반응이 일어나게 된다.

  • 여러가지 농도의 cholesterol을 함유한 배지에서 배양한 CHO 세포내로 흡입된 cholesterol 양을 조사한 결과 흡입량이 배지의 cholesterol 농도에 비례하였으므로 cholesterol 흡입은 확산에 의한 것으로 생각된다. $^{125}I$으로 표지된 저밀도 지방단백질($^{125}I$-LDL)을 이용하여 여러가지 농도의 cholesterol을 함유한 배지에서 배양한 CHO 세포와 cholesterol이 없는 정상배지에서 배양한 CHO 세포에서의 LDL 수용체의 합성양상을 조사한 결과 배지에 가해준 cholesterol이 LDL 수용체 합성을 억제함을 확인하였다. Cholesterol의 LDL 수용체 생합성 억제작용에 미치는 ginsenoside의 영향을 조사하기 위해 ginsenoside와 cholesterol을 함께 함유한 배지에서 배양한 CHO 세포(시험군)과 cholesterol만을 포함한 배지에서 배양한 CHO 세포(대조군)에서의 LDL 수용체의 활성양상을 분석한 결과 대조군에 비해 시험군에서의 LDL 수용체 활성이 크게 증가하였다. RNA 및 단백질 합성도 시험군이 대조군보다 증가하였음을 관찰하였다. 그러나 이와 같은 실험조건하에서의 대조군과 시험군의 cholesterol농도를 측정한 결과 시험군의 cholesterol 농도가 대조군보다 훨씬 저하되고 있었다. Ginsenoside의 cholesterol농도 저하작용을 관찰하기 위해 CHO세포에서의 cholesterol의 steroid hormone(estradiol, progesterone)으로의 전환에 미치는 ginsenoside의 영향을 조사한 결과 ginsenoside는 cholesterol의 hormone으로의 전환을 촉진하였음이 확인되었다. 위와 같은 실험결과로 볼 때 ginsenoside는 CHO 세포내부에서의 cholesterol의 LDL 수용체 합성억제를 완화시켜 주는 것이라고 생각된다.

  • 전립선비대증은 노인 남성에서 흔히 유발되는 질환이며, 노화가 진행될 수록 빈도가 높아지는 특징을 가진다. 이 질환의 원인은 전립선 기질세포의 과도한 증식으로 유발된다고 알려져 있지만 그 자세한 기전에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 전립선비대증에서 progesterone 수용체 양성 세포가 다른 전립선 종양에 비해서 많고, progesterone은 testosterone에서 DHT로 전환되는 것을 감소시키는 역할을 가진다고 알려졌다. 또한 남성 전립선 평활근의 과증식에 의한 질환이므로 평활근 세포의 증식과 관련성이 있다고 보고된 COX-2의 전립선비대증에 대한 영향에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 전립선 기질세포에 progesterone을 3일간 투여하여 배양한 경우 기질세포 증식은 차이가 없었다. Progesterone을 단독 또는 DHT와 같이 투여한 기질세포에서 남성호르몬 수용체 mRNA 발현은 비처리군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었다. 또한 progesterone과 DHT 동시 투여에 의한 COX-2 mRNA 발현에도 차이가 없었다. 그러나 progesterone에 의한 남성호르몬 수용체와 COX-2 단백 발현에서는 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 감소시켰다. 이상의 결과는 progesterone은 남성호르몬 수용체에 대해 전사 후 반응 (post-transcriptional response)에 효과를 나타내어 남성호르몬 수용체 발현을 감소시키는 작용은 가지며, COX-2 발현 억제효과를 나타내므로 전립선비대증의 치료에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) can positively affect postsynaptic neuronal excitability and epileptogenesis. The objective of the present study was to determine whether group 1 mGluRs might be involved in synaptically-induced intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) spikes and neuronal cell death induced by 0.1 mM Mg2+ and 10 µM glycine in cultured rat hippocampal neurons from embryonic day 17 fetal Sprague-Dawley rats using imaging methods for Ca2+ and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays for cell survival. Reduction of extracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]o) to 0.1 mM induced repetitive [Ca2+]i spikes within 30 sec at day 11.5. The mGluR5 antagonist 6-Methyl2-(phenylethynyl) pyridine (MPEP) almost completely inhibited the [Ca2+]i spikes, but the mGluR1 antagonist LY367385 did not. The group 1 mGluRs agonist, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG), significantly increased the [Ca2+]i spikes. The phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 significantly inhibited the [Ca2+]i spikes in the absence or presence of DHPG. The IP3 receptor antagonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate or the ryanodine receptor antagonist 8-(diethylamino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate also significantly inhibited the [Ca2+]i spikes in the absence or presence of DHPG. The TRPC channel inhibitors SKF96365 and flufenamic acid significantly inhibited the [Ca2+]i spikes in the absence or presence of DHPG. The mGluR5 antagonist MPEP significantly increased the neuronal cell survival, but mGluR1 antagonist LY367385 did not. These results suggest a possibility that mGluR5 is involved in synaptically-induced [Ca2+]i spikes and neuronal cell death in cultured rat hippocampal neurons by releasing Ca2+ from IP3 and ryanodine-sensitive intracellular stores and activating TRPC channels.

  • Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a novel interleukin (IL)-7-like cytokine and was originally discovered in the supernatant of a murine thymic stromal cell line. TSLP signal initiates via complex of the TSLP receptor and the IL-7 receptor α chain. TSLP expression is closely connected with many diseases such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, inflammatory arthritis, eosinophilic esophagitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and cancer. In this review, I discussed biological roles of TSLP on mast cell-mediated allergic responses. In addition, this review summarizes the effective drugs in allergic-inflammatory reactions induced by TSLP on mast cells.

  • Chemopreventive and cytotoxic effect of genistein against human breast cancer cell lines was investigated. Genistein inhibited cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast carcinoma cell lines. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity was inhibited by genistein in a concentrationdependent manner. Genistein significantly inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cyclooxy-genase-2 activity and protein expression at the concentrations of 10 (p < 0.05), 25 (p < 0.05) and 50 mM (p < 0.01). In addition, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity was reduced to 53.8 % of the control after 6 h treatment with 50 mM genistein in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. These results suggest that genistein could be of therapeutic value in preventing human breast cancer.

  • Pathophysiological elevation of intracellular calcium concentration ([$Ca^{2+}$]$_i$) in the neuron has been considered as an important responsible factor in the neuronal cell damages. However, the mechanism of increase of [$Ca^{2+}$]$_i$ through ryanodine receptor (RyR), the relationship between [$Ca^{2+}$]$_i$ level and cell damages have not been fully demonstrated. (omitted)

  • The CD95 (Fas, APO-1) is known to play a key role as a transmembrane cell surface receptor that mediates apoptosis of many cell types through binding with Fas ligand or cross-linking to agonistic anti-Fas antibody. Activation of CD95 provokes a potent and rapid responses in a variety of cell types by unknown mechanism.(omitted)
