항암 화학요법제의 항암작용을 증가시키거나, 부작용을 감소시켜 항암 치료를 효과적으로 할 수 있는 항암치료 보조제(modulator)에 대한 개발의 일환으로 녹차 추출물의 이용가능성을 추정하기 위하여 사람 폐암 세포주인 A549 세포를 배양하여 시스플라틴과 독소루비신의 항암성에 미치는 녹차 추출물과 EGCG의 영향을 비교 관찰하였다. A549 세포에 독성을 나타나는 농도는 녹차 추출물 $400\;{\mu}g$/mL, EGCG $300\;{\mu}g$/mL, 시스플라틴 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 및 독소루비신 $8\;{\mu}g$/mL로, 녹차 추출물이 세포독성을 나타내는 농도는 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신에 비하면 낮았다. A549 세포에서 시스플라틴 $10\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되었고, EGCG나 녹차 추출물 $100\;{\mu}g$/mL를 첨가하면 시스플라틴 $6\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되어 EGCG나 녹차 추출물 첨가로 시스플라틴의 세포독성이 증가되었다. A549 세포에서 독소루비신 $8\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되었고, EGCG나 녹차 추출물 $100\;{\mu}g$/mL를 첨가하면 독소루비신 $4\;{\mu}g$/mL 이상의 농도에서 세포활성이 감소되어 EGCG나 녹차 추출물 첨가로 독소루비신의 세포독성이 증가되었다. A549 세포에서 녹차추출물 투여 후 p53 및 caspase 3에 대한 Western blot을 시행한 결과 p53및 caspase-3의 유전자 발현이 증가되었다. 이상의 실험결과 녹차추출물은 광범위 항암제 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신의 세포독성을 증강시키는 효과가 있고, 녹차추출물에 의한 p53이나 caspase-3 등과 같은 세포자살유도 단백질의 발현 증가는 녹차추출물에 의한 세포독성 증강효과와 연관이 있을 것으로 추측된다. 녹차추출물의 시스플라틴이나 독소루비신 세포독성 증강효과는 항암화학요법제의 용량을 늘리지 않고 항암력을 증대시킬 수 있기 때문에 항암화학요법 보조제로서 이용될 수 있는 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 효과를 규명하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The follicular fluid (FF) of ovary contains various biological active products which affected on the growth of follicles and the fertilization of oocyte in physiological reproductive process of mammals. This study was designed to determine the effects of human FF on fertilization of oocyte and embryonal development in vitro culture. The FF was prepared as clear without blood contamination by needle aspiration from mature follicles of human at the time of oocytes retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF). As the medium for culture in vitro of embryonal cells, human tubal fluid (HTF) supplemented with follicular fluids at concentrations of 10%, 40% and pure FF were used. These effects were compared to control group of cultured embryos in HTF supplemented with 0.4% BSA (bovine serum albumin). For IVF, 64 eggs in control group, 67 eggs in 10% FF, 57 eggs in 40% FF and 64 eggs in pure FF were respectively allocated. And the rates of fertilization were almost similar in all groups as resulting 82.81% in control, 85.07% in 10% FF, 87.71% in 40% FF and 81.25% in pure FF. On the examination for embryonal cleavage from fertilized eggs, the rates of developing to 4 cell stage was similar in all groups, as results 98.11% in control, 98.27% in 10% FF and 98% in 40% FF but 78.84% in pure FF. And the rates of developing to 8-16 cell stage were significantly reduced as 44% in 40% FF and 44.23% in pure FF (p<0.05) compare to 71.69% in control media. As likewise, the rates of developing to morular stage were also significantly reduced to 36% (p<0.05) and 21.15% (p<0.01) respectively in 40% FF and pure FF. And the rates to blastocystic stage of embryo was lowest as 7.69% in pure FF (Table 1). The quality of embryonal cells on cleavage to the 8-16 cell stage was poorer, higher concentrations of FF. The rates of grade 1 in pure FF, as 23.07%, was lowest compare to those of other groups, in which the rates of grade 1 in control, 10% FF and 40% FF were 58.49%, 47.36% and 34% respectively. And on the contrary, the rate of grade 4 in pure FF was highest as 23.07%, while those were 5.66% in control, 8.77% in 10% FF and 20% in 40% FF (Table 2). On the viability of embryos, the rate of embryonal cell death was more rise, at the higher concentrations as well as longer exposure in the follicular fluid. At 48 hours after in vitro culture of embryos, the rate of survival embryos in pure FF was markedly lowered as 44.23%, compare to that of control (p<0.05). But there was not significant difference between the rates of survival embryos in each group beside the pure FF, which the rates were 77.35% in control, 70.17% in 10% FF and 60% in 40% FF respectively. And at 72 hours after in vitro culture, the rates of survival embryos were also significantly dropped to 21.15% in pure and 36% in 40% at concentration of FF compare to 62.26% in control (p<0.05, p<0.01). Finally, the rate of embryonal death at 96 hours after in vitro culture was highest as 82.69% in pure FF among all groups which those were 35.84 in control, 56.14% in 10% FF and 64% in 40% FF respectively (Fig. 1, 2, 3). In conclusion, this study suggests that the FF has no effects, in particular, to the in vitro fertilization of oocytes but exerted a bad effect to the cleavage, quality and viability of the embryonal cells during in vitro culture. However, the FF is harmful on embryonal development at conditions in higher concentration and especially on the embryos after $8{\sim}16$ cell stage.

Objective: The effects of cryopreservation with or without coculture on the in vitro development of blastomere-biopsied 8-cell mouse embryos were investigated. This experimental study was originally designed for the setup of a preclinical mouse model for the preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in human. Methods: Eight-cell embryos were obtained after in vitro fertilization (IVF) from F1 hybrid mice (C57BL(표현불가)/CBA(표현불가)). Using micromanipulation, one to four blastomeres were aspirated through a hole made in the zona pellucida by zona drilling (ZD) with acid Tyrode's solution (ATS). A slow-freezing and rapid-thawing protocol with 1.5M dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 0.1M sucrose as cryoprotectant was used for the cryopreservation of blastomere- biopsied 8-cell mouse embryos. After thawing, embryos were cultured for 110 hours in Ham's F-10 supplemented with 0.4% bovine serum albumin (BSA). In the coculture group, embryos were cultured for 110 hours on the monolayer of Vero cells in the same medium. The blastocyst formation was recorded, and the embryos developed beyond blastocyst stage were stained with 10% Giemsa to count the total number of nuclei in each embryo. Results: The survival rate of embryos after cryopreservation was significantly lower in the blastomere-biopsied (7/8, 6/8, 5/8, and 4/8 embryos) groups than in the non-biopsied, zona intact (ZI) group. Without the coculture, the blastocyst formation rate of embryos after cryopreservation was not significantly different among ZI, the zona drilling only (ZD), and the balstomere-biopsied groups, but it was significantly lower than in the non-cryopreserved control group. The mean number of cells in embryos beyond blastocyst stage was significantly higher in the control group ($50.2{\pm}14.0$) than in 6/8 ($26.5{\pm}6.2$), 5/8 ($25.0{\pm}5.5$), and 4/8 ($17.8{\pm}7.8$) groups. With the coculture using Vero cells, the blastocyst formation rate of embryos after cryopreservation was significantly lower in 5/8 and 4/8 groups, compared with the control, 7/8, and 6/8 groups. The mean number of cells in embryos beyond blastocyst stage was also significantly lower in 4/8 group ($25.9{\pm}10.2$), compared with the control ($50.2{\pm}14.0$), 7/8 ($56.0{\pm}22.2$), and 6/8 ($55.3{\pm}25.5$) groups. Conclusion: After cryopreservation, blastomere-biopsied mouse embryos have a significantly impaired developmental competence in vitro, but this detrimental effect might be prevented by the coculture with Vero cells in 8-cell mouse embryos biopsied one or two blastomeres. Biopsy of mouse embryos after ZD with ATS is a safe and highly efficient preclinical model for PGD of human embryos.

The initial events required for periodontal regeneration is the attachment, spreading, and proliferation of appropriated cells at the healing sites. These have been reported that minocycline stimulates the attachment of periodontal ligament cells, and also $TGF-{\beta}1$ enhances the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of $TGF-{\beta}1$ on the cellular activity of minocycline treated human periodontal ligament cells. Periodontal ligament cells were obtained from the explants of healthy periodontal ligaments of extracted 3rd molars or premolar teeth extracted from the patients for orthodontic treatment. The cells were cultured in minimal essential medium(${\alpha}-MEM$) supplemented with 10.000units/ml penicillin, $10,000{\mu}g/ml$ streptomycin and 10% FBS(fetal bovine serum) at $37^{\circ}C$ in a humidified atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide and the 5th to the 8th passages of the cells were used. To evaluate the effect of minocycline on cell attachment, the cells were seeded at a cell density of $1.5{\times}10^4$ cells/well in 24-well culture plates and treated with $20{\mu}g/ml$ and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of minocycline for 1.5 h. After trypsinization, the cells were counted with hemocytometer and were taken photographs for observation of cellular morphology. To evaluate the effect of $TGF-{\beta}1$ on minocycline-pretreated periodontal ligament cells, the cells were seeded at a cell density of $1{\times}10^4$ cells/ well in 24-well culture plates and treated with $20{\mu}g/ml$ and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of minocycline for 1.5 h. After incubation, 1 and 10ng/ml of $rh-TGF-{\beta}1$ were also added to the each well and incubated for 1 and 2 days, respectively. Then, MTT assay, DNA synthesis($^3H-thymidine\;assay$), and protein and collagen assay(3H-proline assay) were carried out. In the MIT assay, after 200ul MTT solutionlconeentration of 5mg/ml) were added to the each well of the 24-well plates and incubated for 3 hours, and 200 ul DMSO were added so as to dissolve insoluble blue formazan crystals which was formed in incubated period. Then it read plates on a ELISA reader. For mitogenic assay, 1 uCi/ml $^3H-thymidine$ was added to each well for the final 2 hours of the incubation periods. After labeling, the wells were washed 3 times with ice cold PBS and 4 times with 5% TCA to remove unincorporated label and precipitate the cellular DNA. DNA, with the incorporated $^3H-thymidine$, was solubilized with 500 ul of 0.1% NaOH/0.1% SDS. A 250 ul aliquot was removed from each well and placed in a scintillation vial with 4ml of scintillation cocktail. Using an liguid scintillation counter, counts per minute(CPM) were determined for each samples. 3 uCi/ml $^3H-proline$ was added to each well for the final 4 hours of the incubation periods and total protein and percent collagen synthesis were carried out. The results indicate that minocycline treated group with $100{\mu}g/ml$ concentration for 1.5 hours significantly increased than that of control in cell attachment, and cell process is also evident compared with that of control in cell morphology, and the cellular activity and DNA synthesis rate of cells treated minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ significantly increased than that of control values, but were below to values of the $TGF-{\beta}1$ only treated group in MIT assay and $^3H-thymidine\;assay$, and the total protein synthesis of minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ treated group also significantly increased than that of control values, but the percent collagen synthesis of tested group significantly decreased to compared with control. On the above the findings, the tested group of minocycline and $TGF-{\beta}1$ did not increase the effect on the cell activity than $TGF-{\beta}1$ only tested group and the tested group of minocycline inhibited cell activity. This results indicate that minocycline was effective on cell attachment in early stage, but it is harmful to cell activity, that inhibitory effect of minocycline was compensated with stimulatory effect of $TGF-{\beta}1$.

Objective: Our present studies were conducted to examine more effective isolating method of preantral follicles from mouse ovaries. Methods: ICR mice (3-6 weeks old) were sacrificed through cervical dislocation and their ovaries were removed and put into watch glasses containing Hams F-10 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Preantral follicles were isolated by three different methods; 1) enzymatical method and 2) mincing method, and 3) scraping method. Enzymatical method was carried out as following. Ovaries were bisected with a pair of fine 30G needles. Bisected ovaries were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ and 5% $CO_2$ incubator in 2-well dish containing Hams F-10 supplemented with collagenase 600 lU/ml and DNAse 20 lU/ml. After 20 min., follicles were isolated by repeated pipetting. Isolated preantral follicles were collected, and the remnant of tissues was placed in incubator and previous procedure was repeated. Mincing method was carried out with a pair of fine 30G needles attached to 1 ml syringes and minced ovary. Scraping method was carried out with a pair of fine 30G needles and scratched to surface of ovary. The differences between isolating methods were analyzed using Student's t-test and Chi-square. Results were considered statistically significant when ${\rho}$ value was less than 0.05. Results: In handling time, mincing or scraping method ($28{\pm}3.42$ min or $16{\pm}1.58$ min) were significantly (p<0.00001) shorter than enzymatical method ($72{\pm}1.69$ min), and scraping method was significantly (p<0.01) shorter than mincing method. Total number of isolated follicles was significantly (p<0.0001) higher in enzymatical method ($49.8{\pm}3.91$) than in mincing or scraping method ($25.3{\pm}2.33$ or $20.5{\pm}1.75$). Isolated follicles in ${\leq}$90${\mu}m$ were significantly (p<0.005) higher in enzymatical method ($15{\pm}1.71$) than in mincing or scraping method ($7.8{\pm}0.98$ or $8.1{\pm}1.31$). In 91~130 ${\mu}m$, isolated follicles were significantly (p<0.0005) higher in enzymatical method ($33{\pm}3.27$) than in mincing or scraping method ($16.3{\pm}1.82$ or $10.7{\pm}1.38$). In ${\geq}$ 131 ${\mu}m$, isolated follicles were not significantly differences between all groups. In equal sizes, the rate of isolated follicles in ${\leq}$ 90 ${\mu}m$ was highest in scraping method (39.6% vs. enzymatical method: 30.1%, p<0.05; mincing method: 30.9%, p=0.11719, NS). Rate of follicles in $91{\sim}130$ ${\mu}m$ was significantly (p<0.05) lower in scraping method (52.7%) than in enzymatical or mincing method (66.3% or 64.5%). Rate of follicles in ${\geq}$131 ${\mu}m$ was highest in scraping method (8.3% vs. enzymatical or scraping method: 3.6%, p<0.05 or 4.6%, p=0.19053, NS). Conclusions: This study suggests that scraping method is simple and useful for isolation of preantral follicles, because this method reduced handling time and recovered enough follicles. The recovered rate of isolated follicles in diameter of 91 ~ 130 ${\mu}m$ was highest in all methods.

목 적: Small interfering RNA (siRNA)를 이용하여 homeobox (HOXA) 10 유전자의 발현이 억제된 일차배양 자궁내막 세포를 이용하여 자궁내막 탈락막화 (decidualization)에 HOXA유전자를 포함한 세포 내 신호전달기전을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 본원 산부인과에서 자궁내막 질환 이외의 이유로 전자궁 적출술을 받은 환자의 자궁내막 조직을 채취한다. $37^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 Trypsin-EDTA를 처리하여 단일세포로 분리한 후 10% fetal bovine serum이 첨가된 DMEM/F12 배지를 이용하여 24시간 동안 $37^{\circ}C$ 5% $CO_2$ 배양기 안에서 배양한다. 배양된 자궁내막 세포를 HOXA10 siRNA로 첨가한 후 TGF-${\beta}1$을 10 ng/mL 농도로 48시간 첨가하여 탈락막화를 유도한다. 배양된 자궁내막 세포에서 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction을 이용하여 HOXA10, prolactin, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-$\gamma$ 및 wingless-type MMTV integration site family (Wnt)의 발현을 관찰하였다. 결 과: HOXA10의 경우 transforming growth factor (TGF)-${\bata}1$과 HOXA10 siRNA를 처리하지 않은 대조군에 비하여 TGF-${\beta}1$을 처리한 군에서 약 1.8배 가량 발현양의 증가를 보였다. 자궁내막 탈락막 표지인자로 알려져 있는 prolactin의 경우 TGF-${\beta}1$을 처리한 경우 대조군에 비하여 유의한 발현의 증가를 보였으며 HOXA10 siRNA를 처리한 군에 있어서는 TGF-${\beta}1$을 첨가하더라도 prolactin mRNA의 발현양의 증가를 관찰할 수 없었다. 또한 자궁내막 세포의 분화인자로 알려져 있는 COX-2의 발현 역시 HOXA10 siRNA를 처리한 군에 있어서 mRNA 발현양이 유의하게 감소하였으며 TGF-${\beta}1$을 처리하여도 발현의 증가를 관찰할 수 없었다. Wnt4의 경우 HOXA10 siRNA를 이용하여 HOXA10의 발현을 억제한 경우 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 mRNA의 발현양이 감소하였으며 이러한 발현양의 감소는 TGF-${\beta}1$을 처리하여도 증가됨을 관찰할 수 없었다. PPAR$\gamma$의 발현은 HOXA10 siRNA의 처리와 관계없이 TGF-${\beta}1$에 의하여 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결 론: Progesterone에 의하여 자궁내막 상피세포에서 분비되는 것으로 알려져 있는 TGF-${\beta}1$에 의한 자궁내막 기질세포의 분화 (탈락막화)는 HOXA10 및 Wnt에 의하여 조절되는 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: 인삼이 항당뇨 활성을 가진다는 연구가 많은 연구자들에 의해 진행되었고, 이는 인삼의 구성 성분 중 ginsenoside에 기인한다는 보고가 있다. 본 연구는 ginsenoside의 항당뇨 작용기전을 in vitro에서 알아보고자 3T3-L1 지방세포에서 glucose uptake와 췌장 베타세포인 HIT-T15 세포에서 insulin 분비 효과를 확인하였다. 이를 위하여 인삼을 식초로 처리한 긴삼의 70% MeOH 분획으로부터 protopanaxadiol 계인 ginsenoside $Rb_2$, $Rg_3$ 그리고 protopanaxtriol 계인 $Rg_2$를 분리하여 본 실험에 사용하였다. Method: Ginsenoside $Rb_2$, $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$가 지방 세포에서 glucose uptake에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위하여 3T3-L1 세포를 DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium) 배지에서 분화 유도시켰으며 3T3-L1 preadipocyte가 80% 정도 자라면 분화 유도 배지 (5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.5 mM isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), 1 mM dexamethasone 그리고 $10{\mu}g/ml$ insulin가 포함된 DMEM)로 4일, $10{\mu}g/ml$ insulin가 포함된 DMEM으로 2일, FBS만 포함된 DMEM으로 2일 배양하여 총 8일 동안 분화를 유도하였다. 분화 유도된 3T3-L1 adipocytes 에 각각 $Rb_2$, $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$를 $20{\mu}M$로 처리하여 16시간 배양하여 low glucose DMEM에서 3시간 배양한 후에 $37^{\circ}C$에서 insulin 10 ng/ml 과 각각 $Rb_2$, $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$가 포함된 Krebs Ringer Hepes buffer(KRP buffer)에서 20분간 배양하였다. 2-deoxy-D-[$^3H$]-glucose를 넣고 10분 후에 차가운 PBS로 반응을 종결시켜 lysis buffer로 cell을 모은 후 scintillation counter를 이용하여 glucose를 측정하였다. Insulin 분비 효과는 HIT-T15 세포와 일차 배양한 흰쥐 소도세포(islets)를 사용하여 확인하였다. HIT-T15 세포는 24 well plate에 well 당 $2{\times}10^5$ 개씩 분주하여 24시간 동안 배양한 후 시료를 처리하였으며 소도 세포는 Sprague-Dawley rat의 췌장에 collagenase가 포함된 Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution(HBSS)을 주입하여 분리하고 islets을 얻었다. 분리한 소도세포를 $1{\sim}2$일 동안 배양하여 $Rb_2$, $Rg_2$, $Rg_3$가 각각 $20{\mu}M$의 농도로 첨가된 insulin 측정용 buffer인 Krebs-Ringer buffer (KRB+0.3% BSA, KRBB)에 $37^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 incubation 시킨 후 배양액으로 분비된 인슐린의 양을 측정하였다. 한편 ginsenoside의 인슐린 분비 촉진 기전을 알아보기 위한 실험에서는 ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel opener인 diazoxide (0.5 mM)가 ginsenoside에 의해 촉진된 인슐린 분비를 억제하는지 살펴보았다. Result: glucose uptake assay 에서는 $Rg_2$가 가장 크게 glucose uptake를 증가시켰고 $Rb_2$, $Rg_3$는 그 활성이 크지 않았다. 한편 Insulin 분비 효과는 diol계인 $Rg_3$에서 용량 의존적으로 인슐린의 분비를 촉진시켰으며 $20{\mu}M$ 농도에서 대조군과 비교해 1.5배 이상의 분비 촉진 효과를 보였고 triol계인 $Rg_2$ 에서는 이러한 효과가 나타나지 않았다. $Rg_3$의 인슐린 분비 촉진 기전을 0.5 mM 의 diazoxide를 이용하여 확인한 결과 $Rg_3$에 의해 촉진된 인슐린 분비를 감소시켰다. 이로 미루어보아 $Rg_3$의 인슐린 분비 촉진 기전은 ATP-sensitive $K^+$ 채널의 봉쇄에 의한 것임을 확인할 수 있었다.

포스포리파제 C-감마1$(phospholipase\;C-{\gamma}\;1;\;PLC-{\gamma}\;1)$은 활성화될 경우 세포 내의 이차전령인 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate$(IP_3)$와 diacylglycerol(DG)을 생성하는 중요한 세포 신호전달 분자이다. 튜불린은 미세소관과 방추사의 주요 구성 단백질로서 알파형과 베타형의 두 가지 동위형이 있는데 이들은 모든 진핵세포에 존재하면서 이형 이합체를 형성한다. 이 중 베타형 튜불린은 사람의 경우 6종의 또 다른 동위형이 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌는데 이들은 각 조직에서 그 발현양상이 서로 다르게 나타난다. 이전의 연구에서 우리들은 $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$과 4종의 베타튜불린 동위형 즉, ${\beta}1$, ${\beta}2$, ${\beta}3$ 및 ${\beta}6$이 세포 내에서 서로 결합할 수 있으며 또한 외부의 자극이 전달될 경우 이들 4종의 동위형이 $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$을 활성화시켜 준다는 사실을 보고한 바 있다. 이번 실험에서는 이전의 연구에서 조사하지 못하였던 베타 튜불린의 나머지 두 가지 동위형 즉, ${\beta}4$및 ${\beta}5$가 $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$에 결합하여 $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$의 활성을 증가시켜줌으로서 세포 내에서의 신호전달계를 조절하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 이전의 연구결과와 연관 지워볼 때, 6종의 모든 베타형 튜불린은 세포 외부의 자극이 있을 경우 $PLC-{\gamma}\;1$을 활성화시켜줌을 시사한다.

Taxol이 악성 골종양 세포에 어느 정도의 세포독성이 있는지를 평가하기 위해 한국세포주 은행에서 분양 받은 G-292, SaOS-2 및 HT-1080의 3가지 악성 골종양 세포들을 대상으로 기존의 항암제인 methotrexate, adriamycin, ifosfamide, cisplatinum과 함께 각각 투여하여 MTT분석법으로 정량 및 비교 분석하였으며, adriamycin과 taxol을 병용 투여하여 항암제의 상호작용을 isobologram 분석법으로 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Taxol의 악성 골종양 세포 주들에 대한 $IC_{50}$는 G-292에서는 $2.7{\times}10^{-2}{\mu}g/ml$, $SaOS^{-2}$에서는 $1.0{\times}10^{-2}{\mu}g/ml$, $HT{\times}1080$에서는 $1.1{\times}10^{-3}{\mu}g/ml$이었다. 2. Taxol은 악성 골종양 세포주들에 대해 기존의 항암제들 보다 강한 세포독성을 보였으며, 기존 항암제의 세포 독성의 강도는 adriamycin이 제일 높은 역가를 보였으며 그 외 methotrexate, cisplatinum, ifosfamide순이었다. 3. Taxol과 adriamycin을 병용 투여하여 상호작용을 관찰한 결과 G-292와 SaOS-2 세포 주에서 상승효과가 관찰되었으며, HT-1080에서는 상승효과가 관찰되지 않았다.
