종양세포는 포도당섭취 및 포도당 대사가 정상세포에 비해 증가된 특징을 가진다. 포도당 유사체인 $^{18}F$ fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)의 섭취를 이용한 PET 검사가 종양의 진단에 많이 쓰이고 있다. 이 연구에서는 유사한 성질을 가진 사람의 대장암 세포주간의 FDG 섭취량 및 섭취 속도의 차이점을 비교하고, 그 포도당 수송체의 발현의 관련성을 규명하고자 한다. 사람대장암 세포 SNU-C2A, SNU-C4, SNU-C5를 이용하여 FDG 섭취를 측정하였다. 또한 세포의 포도당 섭취에 중요 역할을 하는 포도당 수송체 1(GLUT1)의 발현을 Western blotting으로 비교하였다. $1{\times}10^6/ml$의 대장암 세포에 HEPES-buffered saline에 희석한 $1{\mu}Ci/ml$ FDG를 가하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 배양하였을 때 SNU-C2A($16.8{\pm}1.36cpm/{\mu}g$ of protein), SNU-C4($12.3{\pm}5.55$), SNU-C5($61.7{\pm}2.17$) 섭취를 보였다. 시간당 FDG의 섭취는 SNU-C2A($0.29{\pm}0.03cpm/ min/{\mu}g$ of protein), SNU-C4($0.21{\pm}0.09$), SNU C5($1.07{\pm}0.07$)이었으며, 시간이 경과함에 따라 비례하여 증가하였다. Western blotting으로 측정한 GLUT1 은 SNU-C5의 경우 다량 발현되었으나 SNU-C2A와 SNU-C4는 소량 발현되었다. 따라서 SNU-C2A, SNU-C4, SNU-C5 세포는 이들 세포가 비록 유사한 특징을 가졌지만 FDG 섭취량과 섭취 속도 및 GLUT1의 발현이 다르고, 이들 세포의 배가시간(doubling time)은 FDG 섭취와 상관관계가 없었다. 이들 세포의 FDG 섭취와 GLUT1의 발현은 밀접한 상관관계가 있었다.

목적: FDG PET은 악성종양의 진단에 유용하게 쓰이고 있으나, 염증에도 섭취되어 진단에 어려움이 있다. 염증에서 F-18-FDG 섭취는 단핵세포에서 포도당대사가 항진되어 나타난다. 이 연구에서는 사람의 암세포와 단핵세포간에 포도당대사에 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 사람의 대장암 세포주(SNU-C2A, SNU-C4, SNU-C5)와 폐암 세포주(NCI-H522), 단핵세포를 포도당 농도가 다른 배지에서 각각 배양시키고, FDG 섭취와 포도당운반체 1(Glut1)의 발현, hexokinase 활성도의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 포도당이 없는 배지에서는 암세포와 단핵세포 모두에서 FDG 섭취가 증가되나 포도당 고농도(16.7 mM)에서는 섭취가 감소하였다. 이 고농도에서 Glut1 mRNA의 발현은 대장암 세포주, 폐암 세포주에서 감소하였다. 고농도의 포도당 배지에서 Glut1 단백질의 발현도 4종류의 암세포에서 모두 감소하였으나, 단핵세포에서는 변화가 없었다. SNU-C2A, SNU-C4, NCI-H522 세포에서 hexokinase의 활성도는 비슷하였고, 단핵세포와 SNU-C5에서는 약간 증가하였다. 결론: 포도당 섭취에 있어서 사람의 암 세포주와 단핵세포는 서로 다른 기전을 보이고 있다. 대장암 세포는 포도당 농도에 의한 포도당 섭취 변화가 Glut1에 의하여 조절되나, 단핵세포는 다른 기전을 가지고 있다.

Background: Inactivation in p53 tumor suppressor gene through a point mutation and deletion is one of the most frequent genetic changes found in human cancer, with 50% of an incidence. This high rate of mutation mostly suggests that the gene plays a central role in the development of cancer and the mutations detected so far were found in exons 5 to 8. Mutation of p53 locus produced accumulation of abnormal p53 protein, and negative regulation of cell proliferation and transcriptional activation as a suppressor of transformation were lost. In addition, inhibition of its normal cellular function of wild-type by mutant is an important step in tumorigenesis. Method: 4 colon cancer cell lines (SNU C1, C2A, C4, C5) were examined for mutation in exons 5 to 8 of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by PCR-SSCP analysis and expression pattern by western blotting and immunoprecipitation. p53-mediated transactivation ability were examined by CAT assay and base substitution of p53 in SNU C2A cell were detected by DNA sequencing. Results: 1) SNU C2A cell and SNU C5 cell were detected mobility shifts each in exon 5 and exon 7 of p53 gene by the PCR-SSCP method, implicating being of p53 mutation. 2) 3 colon cancer cell lines (SNU C1, SNU C2A, SNU C5) expressed wild type and mutant type p53 protein. 3) In northern blot experiment, SNU C2A and SNU C5 cell expressed high level of p53 mRNA. 4) Results of p53-mediated transactivation in colon cancer cell lines by CAT assay represented only SNU C2A cell has transcriptional activity. 5) DNA sequencing in SNU C2A cell showed missense mutation in codon 179 of one allele, histidine to arginine and wild type p53 in the other allele. Conclusion: Colon cancer cell lines showed correlation with mutation in p53 gene and accumulation of abnormal p53 protein. Colon cancer cell SNU C2A retained p53-mediated transactivation as heterozygous p53 with one mutant allele in 179 codon and the other wild-type allele.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of various factors on the therapeutic effect of the I-131 labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen monoclonal antibody(anti-CEA antibody). Tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT) was used to compare in vitro cytotoxicity of 3 Korean colon cancer cell lines (SNU-C2A, SNU-C4, SNU-C5) for selection of proper 2 cell lines in this study. The changes of the size of tumor which was xenografted to nude mice (balb/c nu/nu) were compared in 4 groups (group treated I-131 labeled anti-CEA antibody, group treated with non-radiolabeled anti-CEA antibody, group treated with I-131 labeled anti-human chorionic gonadotropin monoclonal antibody (anti-hCG antibody) as nonspecific antibody, and group injected with normal saline as a control). Immunohistochemical staining and in vivo autoradiography were performed after excision of the xenografted tumor. The results were as below mentioned. The in vitro cytotoxic effect of I-131 labeled anti-CEA antibody is most prominent in SNU-C5 cell line between 3 cancer cell lines. The changes of xenografted tumor size in both SNU-C4 and SNU-5S cell tumors at the thirteenth day after injection of the antibodies were smallest in the group treated with I-131 labeled anti-CEA antibody (SNU-C4/SNU-C5; 324/342%) comparing with other groups, group treated with anti-CEA antibody (622/660%), group treated with I-131 anti-hCG antibody (538/546%), and control group(1030/724%)(P<0.02 in SNU-C4 and P<0.1 in SNU-C5 at the 13th day after injection of antibodies). On the thirteenth day after injection of the antibodies nude mice were sacreficed to count the radiouptake of tumor and to check the changes of tumor size. Correlations between radiouptake and change of tumor size were calculated in each groups and significant negative correlation was only obtained in the group treated with I-131 anti-CEA antibody (p<0.05). There were no correlations between antigenic expression of carcinoembryonic antigen and distribution of anti-CEA antibody in both SNU-C4 and SNU-C5 cell tumors on immunoperoxidase staining. On in vivo autoradiography the distributions of anti-CEA antibody were heterogeneous and the intensities of binding were various in SNU-C4 and SNU-C5 cell tumors. It is concluded that I-131 labeled tumor-specific monoclonal antibody, anti-CEA antibody is effective in suppressing the xenografted tumor growth and the effect is influenced by sensitivity of tumor cell itself to the radiolabeled antibody and other local factors instead of specificity of antibody.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the C-shaped root canal anatomy of mandibular second molars in a Korean population. Materials and Methods: A total of 542 teeth were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The canal shapes were classified according to a modified version of Melton's method at the level where the pulp chamber floor became discernible. Results: Of the 542 mandibular second molars, 215 (39.8%) had C-shaped canals, 330 (53%) had 3 canals, 17 (3.3%) had 2 canals, 12 (2.2%) had 4 canals, and 8 (1.7%) had 1 canal. The prevalence of C-shaped canals was 47.8% in females and 28.4% in males. Seventy-seven percent of the C-shaped canals showed a bilateral appearance. The prevalence of C-shaped canals showed no difference according to age or tooth position. Most teeth with a C-shaped canal system presented Melton's type II (45.6%) and type III (32.1%) configurations. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of C-shaped canals in the mandibular second molars of the Korean population studied. CBCT is expected to be useful for endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning of mandibular second molars.

This study was performed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects of persimmon leaf extracts on human gastric cancer cells. In vitro anticancer effects of persimmon leaf extracts (water extract at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, water extract at room temperature for 48 hours, 50% ethanol extract at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, 50% ethanol extract at room temperature for 48 hours, 75% ethanol extract at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and 75% ethanol extract at room temperature for 48 hours) on SNU16 (Korean gastric cancer cell) were investigated by MTT assay. Persimmon leaf extracts exhibited strong in vitro anticancer effects. We found that the higher the ethanol content of the solvent, the stronger the in vitro anticancer effects. Extraction yields, contents of flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E were measured. We found that the higher the ethanol content of the solvent, the higher the extraction yields and the contents of flavonoids, vitamin A and vitamin E. Among persimmon leaf extracts, 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract showed the highest extraction yield, the highest contents of flavonoids, vitamin A and vitamin E and exhibitied the strongest in vitro anticancer effect on SNU16. Therefore, 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract was chosen as the material to investigate in vivo anticancer effects. In vivo anticancer effect of persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract was investigated in SNU16 transplanted nude mice. Twenty five female nude mice (BALB/c) were blocked into five groups according to body weight and raised for 4 weeks with diets containing 4% (w/w), 8% (w/w) persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract, with IT (intratumoral) injection treatment with 1.65 mg/100 $\mu$1, 3.3 mg/100 $\mu$1 concentration every other day 3 weeks after SNU16 was transplanted. Persimmon 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract significantly lowered tumor weight and tumor volume in SNU16 transplanted nude mice. Tumor weight and tumor volume in all experimental groups were significantly lower than those in the control group. Helper T cell (CD4) levels of mice injected with 3.3 mg/100 $\mu$1 extract significantly increased. Cytotoxic T cell (CD8) levels in all experimental groups significantly increased and helper/cytotoxic T cell ratios in all experimental groups significantly decreased. Natural killer cell and MHC class II molecule in all experimental groups significantly increased. In conclusion, persimmon leaf 75% ethanol 8$0^{\circ}C$ extract exhibited strong in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects against SNU16 cells and it increased cytotoxic T cell, natural killer cell and MHC classII molecule in experimental groups in SNU16 transplanted nude mice.

Thin film electrodes have been intensively studied for active materials and current collectors to enhance the electrochemical performance. Here, porous structures of nickel-based oxide films, consisting of nickel oxide and copper (II) oxide, which was derived from the copper substrate during the annealing process, were deposited on metallic copper foils. The half-cell tests revealed excellent capacity retention after $80^{th}$ charge/discharge cycles. Some films showed an excess of the theoretical capacity of nickel oxides, which mainly originate from partially oxidized copper substrates during annealing. These results exhibit that both a preparation method of an active materials and partially oxidized current collectors could be important roles to apply thin film electrodes.
