In this study, we investigated the effect of methanolic extract isolated from the root of Lycoris aurea (LA) on the growth of cancer cells and the tube formation activity of endothelial cells. Various cancer cells were treated with LA at doses of 0.3, 1, 3, 10 or 30 ${\mu}g/ml$ and LA significantly suppressed the growth of several cancer cell lines, including ACHN, HCT-15, K-562, MCF-7, PC-3 and SK-OV-3, in a dose-dependent manner. We also found that LA induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in ACHN renal cell adenocarcinoma cells. Further study demonstrated that LA concentration-dependently inhibited the tube formation, which is a widely used in vitro model of reorganization stage of angiogenesis, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Collectively, these results show that LA inhibits the growth of cancer cells and tube formation of endothelial cells and the growth-inhibitory effect of LA might be mediated, at least in part, by blocking cell cycle progression.

본 연구에서 미생물유래의 종양 예방 및 억제제 개발을 목적으로 우리나라 전통 발효식품인 젓갈에서 항암 활성이 우수한 미생물을 분리, 동정 하였다. 젓갈로부터 항암물질을 생산하는 균주 SW-1을 분리하여 형태학적, 생리학적 특성을 검토한 결과, 본 균주는 Bacillus subtillis SW-1으로 동정되었다. 본 균주로부터 항암물질은 실험에 사용한 두가지의 암세포에 강한 활성을 나타내었다. 그 중에서 폐암 세포인 A549에 가장 강한 활성을 나타내었다. 항암물질 생산을 위한 최적 배양조건을 검토한 결과, 3.0% soluble starch, 1.0% yeast extract 였다. 무기염의 경우는 활성에는 그다지 영향을 미치지 않았다. 배지의 초기 pH 및 배양온도에 따른 항암물질의 생산성을 검토한 결과 초기 pH 5.0배양온도 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 25시 간배양 했을 때 최대 활성을 보였다. Chromosomal DNA단편화 실험에서 Bacillus subtilis SW-1의 배양상등액을 처리했을 때 DNA가 사닥다리모양으로 분해되는 Apoptosis(계획된 세포죽임)를 일으키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 미생물이 생성하는 물질을 현재 HPLC, GC등을 이용하여 분리 중에 있으며 현재까지의 결과로는 당 중합체 인 것으로 분석된다.

To evaluate the antitumor activity and antimetastatic effects of HDBT, studies were done experimentally. The results were obtained as follows: 1. HDBT extracts didn't show cytotoxicity against BALB/C mouse lung fibroblast cell. 2. In cytotoxicity against A549, SK-OV-3, B16-BL6 and HT1080 concen- tration inhibiting cell growth up to below 30% of control was recognized at $10^{-3}g/ml$ of HDBT. 3. The concentration inhibiting adhesion of A549 and B16-BL6 to complex extracellular matrix up to below 30% of control was recognized at $10^{-3}g/ml$ of HDBT. 4. In Inhibitory effect on activity of DNA topoisomerase I, the $IC_{50}$ was shown $200-300{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of HDBT. 5. The T/C% was 137.9% in HDBT-treated group in S-180 bearing ICR mice. 6. In CAM assay, HDBT extracts inhibited angiogenesis significantly at $15{\mu}g/egg$ concentration as compared with control. 7. In pumonary colonization assay, a number of colonies in the lungs were decreased but insignificantly in HDBT-treated group as compared with control group. 8. In hematological changes in B16-BL6 injected C57BL/6, numbers of WBC were decreased significantly in HDBT-treated group but numbers PLT were increased insignificantly as compared with control. From above results it was concluded that HDBT could be usefully applied for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

The T/C% was 145.4% in HDT-C treated group in S-180 bearing ICR mice. 3. In Inhibitory effect on activity of DNA topoisomerase I, the $IC_{50}$ was shown $100-200{\mu}g/ml$ of HDT-C. 4. The expressing $TNF-{\alpha}$ was increased in HDT-C treated group as compared with control. 5. The expressing MMP-9 was decreased in HDT-C treated group as compared with control. 6. HDT-C extracts exhibited efficient adhesive effect of A549, B16-BL6 cell to complex extracellular matrix. 7. In CAM assays, angiogenesis was significantly inhibited in HDT-C treated group than control group. 8. In pumonary colonization assay, a number of colonies in the lungs were decreased significantly in HDT-C treated group as compared with control group. 9. In hematological changes in B16-BL6 injected C57BL/6, numbers of WBC and were decreased insignificantly and also those of platelet were increased insignificantly in HDT-C treated group as compared with control. 10. In the histological changes of lung in B16-BL6 injected mice, infiltration of cancer cells were inhibited effectively in HDT-C treated groups whereas many cancer cells were infiltrated into erivascular and peribronchiol of control group. These results suggested that HDT-C extracts might be usefully applied for prevention and treatment of cancer.

The occurrence of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs is a major problem for successful cancer treatment. This resistant phenotype of cancer cell frequently reveals a broad spectrum to structurally and/or functionally unrelated anticancer drugs, termed multidrug resistance (MDR). Overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transmembrane drug efflux pump, is a major mechanism of MDR. Accordingly, considerable effort has been directed towards to development of compounds that inhibit P-gp, reverse the MDR phenotype and sensitize cancer cells to conventional chemotherapy without undesired toxicological effects. In an effort to search for novel MDR reversal agent, we tested the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel, a well-known substrate of P-gp, against P-gp-expressing HCT15 and HCT15/CL02 human colorectal cancer cells in the presence or absence of benzotriazepin analogues, as well as against P-gp-negative A549 human non-small cell lung and SK-OV-3 human ovarian cancer cells in vitro. Among the compounds tested, the agents that have phenyl amide moiety at 3 position remarkably increased the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel against P-gp-expressing cancer cells, but not against P-gp-negative cancer cells. BTZ-15 and BTZ-16 at $4\;{\mu}M$ revealed similar MDR reversal activity to $10\;{\mu}M$ verapamil, a well-known MDR reversal agent.

최근 유산균에 대한 관심이 많아지고 그와 관련된 수많은 제품들이 제조되고 유통되고 있다. 이러한 유산균의 기능으로는 가장 먼저 정장 작용을 들 수 있고, 그 외 항암 효과, 유당 단백질의 흡수 증진, 혈청 콜레스테롤의 저하 등 많은 기능을 가지고 있다. 이에 따라 유산균의 한 종류인 Lactobacillus casei의 배양물로부터 단백질을 분리한 것으로 Ultrafiltration membrane (3, 10, 30, 100 KDa)으로 분리 농축한 단백질 물질인 단백질성분 A(protein components A)와 단백질 성분 B(protein components B)을 분리하여 실험에 사용하였고, 이 물질을 이용하여 보다 세밀한 분리를 위해 FPLC(fast protein liquid chromatography, sephadex 75, Amersham)를 이용하여 분석된 peak를 이용하여 3번부터 9번까지 분획물을 얻어 실험에 사용하였다. 위에서 얻은 단백질 물질들을 이용하여 정상 세포와 암세포주를 이용하여 세포 독성 및 암세포 생육 억제 활성을 측정한 결과, 단백질 성분 A(protein components A)와 단백질 성분 B(protein components B)의 물질에서 최적 농도인 $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 정상 세포에 대한 세포 독성은 20% 정도로 낮은 세포 독성 효과를 나타내 정상 세포에 대한 독성 효과는 없는 것으로 나타났고, 5가지 암세포주(위암, 폐암, 유방암, 난소암, 대장암)에 대한 암세포 생육 억제 활성에서는 70% 정도의 높은 암세포 생육 억제 효과를 나타내 항암 효과를 나타냈다. 그리고 FPLC를 이용하여 분리한 분획물에서는 3, 8, 9번 분획물에서는 정상 세포에 대한 세포독성이 50%를 나타내 독성 효과를 나타냈고, 그 외의 분획물에서는 정상 세포에 대한 독성이 나타나지 않았다. 그 중 7번 분획물에서 암세포에 대한 생육 억제 활성을 나타낸 결과, 70% 정도의 높은 암세포 생육 억제 활성을 나타내 항암활성을 지닌 성분으로 확인하였다. 그 외의 분획물에서는 거의 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 Lactobacillus casei의 배양물에서 분리한 성분이 항암 효과를 나타내고 있는 것을 확인하였다.
