본 연구는 홍삼추출물(홍삼단)과 생약복합추출물(헤모힘)이 주요 기능성분은 다르지만 면역활성이라는 생리활성 측면에서 동일한 효과를 인정하고 있어서 이들의 병용 처리가 면역세포에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 면역활성능에 관한 평가를 진행하기 위하여 마우스의 골수에서 분리한 미분화 골수세포를 선천면역에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 대식세포 및 수지상세포로 분화시킨 후 홍삼추출물과 생약복합추출물을 병용 처리하였을 때 대식세포 및 수지상세포의 세포 증식능 및 사이토카인의 분비능이 증가되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 활성화된 탐식(면역)세포의 세포 표면에서 발현되는 CD80과 CD86의 발현과 탐식(면역)세포의 항원제시에 밀접한 관련이 있는 주 조직적합성 복합체(MHC class II)의 발현이 홍삼추출물과 생약복합추출물의 병용 처리구에서 유의적으로 증가되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 후천면역에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 면역 T 세포가 다량으로 분포하는 비장 조직으로부터 비장세포를 분리하여 홍삼추출물과 생약복합추출물을 병용처리하였을 때 세포 증식능 및 면역활성을 유도하는 Th1 세포가 분비하는 사이토카인의 함량이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때 홍삼추출물과 생약복합 추출물의 병용 처리는 선천면역뿐만 아니라 후천면역에 관여하는 다양한 면역세포의 활성화에 직 간접적으로 다양한 상승작용을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

In a variety of animal species, the perinatal exposure of experimental animals to the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo­p-dioxin (TCDD) leads to the immune dysfunction, which is more severe and persistent than that caused by adult exposure. We report here the changes of gene expression and the identification of the marker-genes representing the dioxin exposure. The expressions of the transcripts were analyzed using the 11 K oligonucleotide­microarray from the bone marrow cells of male C57BL/6J mice after an intraperitoneal injection of $1{\mu}g$ TCDD/kg body weight at various time intervals: gestational 6.5 day(G6.5), 13.5 day(G13.5), 18.5 day(G18.5), and postnatal 3 (P3W)and 6 week (P6W). The type of self-organizing maps(SOM) representing the specific exposure dioxin could be identified as follows; G6.5D(C14), G13.5D(C0, C5, C10, C18), G18.5D(7): P3W(C2, C21), and P6W(C4, C15, C20). The candidate marker-genes were restricted to the transcripts, which could be consistently expressed greater than $\pm$2-fold in three experiments. The resulting candidates were 85 genes, the characteristics of that were involved in cell physiology and cell functions such as cell proliferation and immune function. We identified the biomarker-genes for dioxin exposure: smc -like 2 from SOM C14 for the dioxin exposure at G6.5D, focal adhesion kinase and 6 other genes from C0, and protein tyrosine phosphatase 4a2 and 3 other genes from C5 for G13.5D, platelet factor 4 from C7 for G18.5D, fos from C2 for P3W.

The proliferation of bone marrow stem cell compartment is thought to be under both positive and negative controls by cytokines and colony stimulation factors. Macrophage inflammatory $protein-1{\alpha}(MIP-1{\alpha})$ has been assessed for its potential to protect hematopoietic stem cells from cytotoxic effects of a cycle-specific antineoplastic agents. We have tested the ability of $MIP-1{\alpha}$ to suppress the proliferation of stem cell line Du.528.101 in variety of active status by using $[^{3}H]-thymidine$ incorporation test. The results were as follows. 1. The effect of $MIP-1{\alpha}$ on steady-state Du.528.101 cell represented the cell growth suppression at the concentration of 10, 50, 100nM of $MIP-1{\alpha}$(P<0.001). 2. $MIP-1{\alpha}$ stimulated the proliferation of Du.528.101 cells previously treated with IL-1 at the concentration of 5, 50nM of $MIP-1{\alpha}$(P<0.01). 3. The suppression effect of MIP-1 on Du.528.101 cells at the concentration of 5, 50nM was shown when cells were treated with $MIP-1{\alpha}$ before activation with $IL-1{\beta}(P<0.01)$. 4. The growth rate of synchronized cells were slower than that of non-synchronized ones, and $MIP-1{\alpha}$ represented the similar suppression effect on both synchronized and non-synchronized cells.

Stem cells can be applied usefully in basic research and clinical field due to their differentiation and self-renewal capacity. The aim of this study was to establish an effective novel therapeutic cellular source and create its molecular expression profile map to elucidate the possible therapeutic mechanism and signaling pathway. We successfully obtained a mesenchymal stem cell population from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) cultured on chemically defined feeder-free conditions and treated with connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and performed the expressive proteomic approach to elucidate the molecular basis. We further selected 12 differentially expressed proteins in CTGF-induced hESC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (C-hESC-MSCs), which were found to be involved in the metabolic process, immune response, cell signaling, and cell proliferation, as compared to bone marrow derived-MSCs(BM-MSCs). Moreover, these up-regulated proteins were potentially related to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These results suggest that C-hESC-MSCs are a highly proliferative cell population, which can interact with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway; thus, due to the upregulated cell survival ability or downregulated apoptosis effects of C-hESC-MSCs, these can be used as an unlimited cellular source in the cell therapy field for a higher therapeutic potential. Overall, the study provided valuable insights into the molecular functioning of hESC derivatives as a valuable cellular source.

The imbalance between the proliferation and apoptosis of B-cell precursors is an important contributor to the pathogenesis of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), while its specific regulatory mechanism remains perplexing. This study aimed to expound the underlying mechanism of the proliferation and apoptosis of BCP-ALL cells from the perspective of non-coding RNA. In this study, long non-coding RNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (LncRNA CRNDE) was upregulated in the bone marrow of BCP-ALL patients and BCP-ALL cell lines (NALM-6 and RS4;11). Functionally, LncRNA CRNDE knockdown restrained cell proliferation and boosted cell apoptosis in NALM-6 and RS4;11 cells. The subsequent investigation confirmed that LncRNA CRNDE bound to miR-345-5p and negatively regulated miR-345-5p expression. The overexpression of miR-345-5p suppressed cell proliferation and boosted cell apoptosis in NALM-6 and RS4;11 cells. Further experiments revealed that miR-345-5p downregulated cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) expression by targeting its mRNA directly. CREB overexpression reversed the effect of miR-345-5p mimic on cell proliferation and apoptosis in NALM-6 and RS4;11 cells. Finally, in vivo experiments showed that LncRNA CRNDE knockdown prolonged the survival of mice xenotransplanted with NALM-6 cells. In conclusion, LncRNA CRNDE upregulated CREB expression by suppressing miR-345-5p, thus promoting cell proliferation and reducing cell apoptosis in BCP-ALL.

Benzene is known as a ubiquitous air pollutant and has a carcinogenic influence on the human body. Benzene is also metabolized to other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the body such as phenol and hydroquinone (HQ). The metabolites are accumulated and further oxidized by myeloperoxidase in bone marrow. They act as toxic agents and cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, atopic dermatitis and asthma. In this study, we examined the effects of benzene and its metabolites on proliferation, differentiation and chemotaxis of EoL-1 cells, the human eosinophilic leukemia cell line. These chemicals had no effect on the proliferation of EoL-1 cells. Benzene decreased the differentiation of EoL-1 cells induced by butyric acid. HQ was induced the cell death during butyric acid-induced EoL-1 cell differentiation. In a chemotaxis experiment, benzene, phenol and HQ enhanced the cell migration induced by Lkn-1 but not by MCP-1, eotaxin, MIP-$1{\alpha}$ and RANTES. These findings provide the effect of VOCs on the regulation of eosinophil-involved immune response.

동결건조된 솔잎(Pinus densiflora needles)으로부터 냉수(PD-CW), 열수(PD-HW)와 메탄올추출물(PD-M)을 분획하여 in vitro에서 Peyer's patch를 경유한 장관면역 활성을 측정한 결과, PD-M 획분에서 유력한 골수세포 증식활성을 나타내었다. 메탄올 추출방법을 확립하기 위하여 MeOH 추출물을 균질화, 교반 또는 환류 등의 방법으로 조제하였을 때, 환류방법으로 조제된 MeOH 추출물에서 유의적(p<0.05)으로 가장 높은 장관면역 활성을 in vitro에서 확인할 수 있었다. 솔잎으로부터 분획된 PD-M을 마우스에 경구 투여하고 Peyer's patch를 분리하여 ex vivo에서의 장관면역 활성도 관찰하였다. 다양한 농도로 1주일 동안 PD-M을 경구투여 한 결과, 1.0 g/kg of BW/day의 용량으로 경구투여 한 C3H/He 마우스의 Peyer's patch로부터 얻은 세포배양 상등액에서 saline 대조군보다 2.5배의 높은 장관면역 활성을 보여주었다(p<0.05). 또한 다양한 농도로 경구투여 된 Peyer's patch 세포의 배양액을 이용하여 측정한 IL-6 생산능은 1.0 g/kg of BW/day의 용량에서 1.13배로 증가하였으나 GM-CSF는 처리 용량에 따라 유의적인 값을 보이지는 않았다. 이러한 결과는 PD-M의 경구투여가 Peyer's patch 세포로부터 GM-CSF와 IL-6 등의 조혈세포 증식인자의 분비를 촉진함을 나타내는 것이며, 이러한 cytokine들이 골수세포 증식의 조절인자로서 작용함을 보여주는 것으로 생각한다.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the characteristics of beagle dog's periodontal ligament (BPD) cells and bone marrow (BBM) cells which have the important role on the early stage of periodontal tissue regeneration in vitro. In control group, the cells ($1.5{\times}10^5$cells/ml) were cultured alone with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium contained with 10% fetal bovine serum, $50{\mu]g/ml$ ascorbic acid, and 10mM/ml ${\beta}-glycerophosphate$. In experimental groups, growth factors, PDGF or EGF(10ng/ml), were added into the above culture condition. And then each group was characterized by examining the cell proliferation rate, amount of total protein synthesis, alkaline phosphatase activity at 1, 5, 9, 13, 17th day after seeding of cells into the culture wells. The results were as follows: 1. Both BPD and BBM cells in PDGF-treated group proliferated more rapidly than non-treated cells. This finding also was observed in EGF-treated group but it was not as prominent as that of PDGF-treated group. The proliferation rates of both cells showed the time-dependent pattern during experimental periods in all three groups. 2. Amount of total protein synthesis was more increased in PDGF-treated group than in control group. But no significant difference between EGF-treated group and control group was observed throughout experimental periods even though the tendency of amount of protein synthesis was time-dependent pattern. 3. Alkaline phosphatase activity also more increased in PDGF-treated group than control group. But slight decrease tendency was seen in both cells of EGF-treated group. From the above results, PDGF appeared to enhance the proliferation and cellular activities including amount of total protein synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity of BPD and BBM cell, but EGF did not show notable effects. The optimal application of these growth factors was thought to be useful as the adjunctive means in periodontal regeneration procedures.
