It has been recently reported that boron affects bone metabolism in humans and animals. In this study we examined whether boron affects the proliferation on various cell types, MG-63, HOS, Raw 264.7 and SK-N-SH. When treated with different concentrations of boron $(1,\;10,\;100{\mu}M)$ for 24 and 48 hr, the proliferation of MG-63 cells was enhanced at $10{\mu}M\;(p<0.05)$, for 24 hr. In HOS cells, boron had no effect on cell proliferation at 24 or 48 hr. In addition, treatment of pre-osteoclastic cells (Raw 264.7) with 1, 10, $100{\mu}M$ boron resulted in no effect on cell proliferation. Proliferation of neuronal cells (SK-N-SH) was enhanced by boron in a concentration dependent manner at low concentrations (0.1, 0.5, $1{\mu}M$). Besides proliferation activity, boron has an effect on the enhancement of NO production in SK-N-SH cells in a concentration-dependent manner. These studies showed that boron enhances proliferation of osteoblastic cells (especially MG-63), depending upon the concentration of boron. These results also provide further evidence of the positive effects of boron in neuronal disease.

Parkinson's disease (PO) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder. Even though PD has been studied in many aspects, it is still unknown the molecular signaling mechanisms linking reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neuronal apoptosis in PD. A better understanding of cellular mechanisms that occur in Parkinson's disease is essential for development of new therapies. In this study we investigated the signaling molecules involved in neuronal apoptosis induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells as a model cellular system. (omitted)

양성자 빔의 조사선량에 따라 정상섬유모세포인 MRC-5와 신경모세포종세포인 SK-N-SH의 DNA 손상도를 확인하고 시간 흐름에 따른 회복률을 비교 분석하였다. 두 가지의 세포에 2Gy, 5Gy, 8Gy의 양성자 빔을 각각 조사한 후 Alkaline comet assay를 실시하였다. Tail moment를 측정하여 DNA의 손상도를 비교하였고 일정시간이 지난 후 재 측정을 하여 두 가지 세포의 회복가능성을 비교하였다. 세가지 선량으로 양성자 빔을 조사하였을 때 전체적으로 SK-N-SH에 비해 MRC-5의 DNA 손상도는 낮았지만 8Gy 조사하였을 때 MRC-5의 Tail moment값은 $50.3202{\pm}23.17155$로 위험수준의 손상이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 2Gy와 5Gy 조사하였을 때 두 세포 모두 25시간 안에 거의 회복되는 반면 8Gy 조사시 두 세포 모두 회복률이 낮아졌으며 MRC-5의 경우 25시간 후 측정시 Tail moment값은 $18.1536{\pm}4.42849$로 선량 증가에 크게 반응하여 회복률이 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 양성자 빔의 SOBP 중 다른 지점에 비해 distal declining edge에서 LET가 더 높으며 선량을 높이면 그 차이는 월등히 커진다. 이러한 특징과 더불어 본 연구에서 확인한 고선량 조사시 정상섬유모세포의 회복률이 낮아져 지속적인 손상으로 이어진다는 점은 양성자 치료시 주의하여야 한다. 종양조직에 해당하는 SOBP 중심부에 조사되는 조건 뿐 아니라 더 높은 RBE의 주변 정상조직에 적용되는 조사조건을 확인하여야 부작용을 막을 수 있다.

잔대의 70% 에탄올 추출물은 강한 항산화 효과 및 산화적 스트레스 조건에서 뇌신경세포 사멸 억제 효과가 있었다. 6개의 분획물 중에 잔대 추출물의 클로로포름 분획물(AT-CH)은 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거작용 및 세포 내 활성산소종(ROS) 소거작용을 가지고 있었고 $H_2O_2$에 대항하여 뇌신경 세포(SK-N-SH) 보호 효과가 가장 뛰어났다. 활성이 가장 우수한 클로로포름 분획물을 대상으로 주요 물질을 순수분리한 후 $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$ 그리고 EI mass spectra를 이용하여 화학구조를 분석한 결과 phytosterols(${\beta}$-sitosterol과 daucosterol)이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. ${\beta}$-Sitosterol과 daucosterol 역시 산화적 스트레스에 대항하여 SK-N-SH 세포를 보호하는 작용이 있었다. AT-CH 그리고 이것으로부터 분리된 화합물은 p38 경로를 저해하였다. 이들 결과는 AT-CH는 p38 경로를 저해하고 세포 내 ROS 소거작용에 의해 산화적 스트레스로부터 뇌신경세포 보호 효과를 가질 것이라 제안하였다.

Alzheimer's disease(AD) is a geriatric dementia that is widespread in old age. In the near future AD may be the biggest problem in public health service. Although a variety of oriental therapies in the study of Jimitang have been traditionally utilized for the treatment of AD, their pharmacological effects and active mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. This study in an investigation of effects of Jimitang on apoptotic cell death induced by CT105 overexpression in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cell lines. DNA fragmentation, neurite outgrowth assay and LDH activity assay were examined. The regeneratory and inhibitory effects on Alzheimer's disease in pCT105-induced neuroblastoma cell lines by Jimitang water extract were examined. Findings from these experiments have shown that Jimitang inhibits the synthesis or activities of CT105, which has neurotoxicities and apoptotic activities in cell lines. In addition, pretreatment of $Jimitang(>50\;{\mu}g/mL\;for\;12\;hours)$ partially prevented CT(105)-induced cytotoxicity in SK-N-SH cell lines, and were inhibited by pretreatment. $Jimitang(>50\;{\mu}g/mL\;for\;12\;hours)$ repaired CT(105)-induced neurite outgrowth when SK-N-SH cell lines were transfected with CT(105). Results of this study show that. in the Jimitang group, the apoptosis in the nervous system in inhibited, the repair against the degerneration of neuroblastoma cells by CT105 expression is promoted. In addition, Jimitang was found to inhibit DNA fragmentation induced by CT105 overexpression, and promote neurite outgrowth. These findings suggest that Jimitang is beneficial for the treatment of AD.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Approximately half of the affected patients are diagnosed with high-risk poor prognosis disease, and novel therapies are needed. Sanguinarine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid which has anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study is whether sanguinarine has in vitro apoptotic effects and which apoptotic genes might be affected in the human neuroblastoma cell lines SH-SY5Y (N-myc negative), Kelly (N-myc positive, ALK positive), and SK-N-BE(2). Cell viability was analysed with WST-1 and apoptotic cell death rates were determined using TUNEL. After RNA isolation and cDNA conversion, expression of 84 custom array genes of apoptosis was determined. Sanguinarine caused cell death in a dose dependent manner in all neuroblastoma cell lines except SK-N-BE(2) with rates of 18% in SH-SY5Y and 21% in Kelly human neuroblastoma cells. Cisplatin caused similar apoptotic cell death rates of 16% in SH-SY5Y and 23% in Kelly cells and sanguinarine-cisplatin combinations caused the same rates (18% and 20%). Sanguinarine treatment did not affect apoptototic gene expression but decreased levels of anti-apoptotic genes NOL3 and BCL2L2 in SH-SY5Y cells. Caspase and TNF related gene expression was affected by the sanguinarine-cisplatin combination in SH-SY5Y cells. The expression of regulation of apoptotic genes were increased with sanguinarine treatment in Kelly cells. From these results, we conclude that sanguinarine is a candidate agent against neuroblastoma.

본 실험에서는 당나귀 사골과 껍질을 추출하여 항산화 활성 및 산화적 스트레스로부터 유도되는 신경세포 보호효과를 구명하였다. DBSE의 항산화 활성은 처리 농도가 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가함을 나타내었는데(p<0.05), 40 mg/ml 일 때, 95.43%의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 나타내었고, 20 mg/ml일 때, 88.73%의 ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 나타내었으며, 10 mg/ml일 때, $132.53{\mu}M$ TE의 ORAC을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 신경모세포종 SK-N-SH 세포에 DBSE을 처리한 결과 세포 독성은 나타내지 않았으며, 신경세포에 활성산소종인 $H_2O_2$를 처리하여 DBSE의 산화적 스트레스 보호효과를 확인 한 결과, 처리농도 의존적으로 신경세포 보호효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 당나귀 사골과 껍질 추출물은 산화를 억제하고 SK-N-SH 신경세포 보호효과를 보여 생리활성 기능소재로서 이용가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되며 추후 동물실험을 통한 안전성 및 생체대사조절기능과 효과증진기술에 대한 연구가 추가되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD) has previously shown to induce neurotoxicity through intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ increase in rat neurons. In this study we investigated the role and signaling pathway of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in TCDD-induced inhibition of neuronal cell proliferation in SK-N-SH human neuronal cells. We found that TCDD(10nM) rapidly increased the level of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$, which was completely blocked by the extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ chelation with EGTA (1 mM) or by pretreatment of the cells with the non-selective cation channel blocker. flufenamic acid (200 ${\mu}M$). However, pretreatment of the cells with dantrolene (25 ${\mu}M$) and TMB-8(10 ${\mu}M$), intracellular $Ca^{2+}$-release blockers, or a voltage-sensitive $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker, varapamil (100 ${\mu}M$), failed to block the TCDD-induced $Ca^{2+}$ increase in the cells. In addition, TCDD induced a rapid and transient activation of phatidvlinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2), which was ingnificantly blocked by the pretreatment with BAPTA, an intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ chelator, and LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor. Furthermore, inhibitors of PI3K, ERK, or an intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ chelator further potentiated the anti-proliferative effect of TCDD in the cells. Collectively, the results suggest that intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ and PI3K-dependent activation of ERK 1/2 may be involved in the TCDD-induced inhibition of cell proliferation in SK-N-SH human neuronal cells.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Bohyulanshin-tang on brain-derived neurotophic factor(BDNF) expression in SK-N-SH (immortalized human neuroblastoma) cell line. MTT-based cytotoxicity assay revealed that cells of 0.1 mg/ml group and 1 mg/ml group significantly increased compared with Control group. Westren blotting and RT-PCR analysis showed that Bohyulanshin-tang significantly increased BDNF mRNA expression of 0.1 mg/ml group and 1 mg/ml group compared with Control group. Another analysis revealed that Bohyulanshin-tang significantly increased BDNF expression of 0.1 mg/ml group and 1 mg/ml group compared with Control group. These results showed that cell-protective abilities and cell-proliferating effects of Bohyulanshin-tang approached that of Fluoxetine.
