  • Luteolin-7-O-glucoside (LUT7G), a flavone subclass of flavonoids, has been found to increase anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, as well as cytotoxic effects. However, the mechanism of how LUT7G induces apoptosis and regulates cell cycles remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of LUT7G on the growth inhibition of tumors, cell cycle arrest, induction of ROS generation, and the involved signaling pathway in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. The proliferation of HepG2 cells was decreased by LUT7G in a dose-dependent manner. The growth inhibition was due primarily to the G2/M phase arrest and ROS generation. Moreover, the phosphorylation of JNK was increased by LUT7G. These results suggest that the anti-proliferative effect of LUT7G on HepG2 is associated with G2/M phase cell cycle arrest by JNK activation.

  • Objectives : Previously, we reported that compound K isolated from fermented ginseng by Aspillus oryzae has a wide biochemical and pharmacological effect, including anti-cancer activity in prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Despite these findings, its signaling pathway and gene expression pattern are not clearly understood. Methods : To confirm the gene expression study of treated with compound K in PC-3 cells, a cDNA microarray chip composed of 44K human cDNA probes was used. MTT assay, western blot analysis, propidium iodide staining, and annexin V/propidium iodide staining were analyzed. Results : We confirmed the differences of gene expression profiles. Then, we analyzed with the cell cycle arrest, cell death and cell proliferation related genes using DAVID database. Conclusions : Our finding should be useful for understanding genome-wide expression patterns of compound K-mediated cell cycle arrest toward induction of cell death and be helpful for finding future cancer therapeutic targets for prostate cancer cells.

  • Onchungeum, a herbal formula, which has been used for treatment of anemia due to bleeding, discharging blood and skin disease. In the present study, it was examined the effects of extract of Onchungeum (OCE) on the growth of human hepatocarcinoma cell lines Hep3B (p53 null type) and HepG2 (p53 wild type) in order to investigate the anti-proliferative mechanism by OCE. Treatment of Hep3B and HepG2 cells to OCE resulted in the growth inhibition in a dose-dependent manner, however Hep3B cell line exhibited a relatively strong anti-proliferative activity to OEC. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that OCE treatment in Hep3B cells caused G1 phase arrest of the cell cycle, which was associated with various morphological changes in a dose-dependent fashion. RT-PCR and immunoblotting data revealed that treatment of OCE caused the down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression, however the levels of cyclin E expression were not changed by OCE. The G1 arrest of the cell cycle was also associated with the induction of Cdk inhibitor p27 by OCE. Because the p53 gene is null in Hep3B cells, it is most likely that the induction of p21 is mediated through a p53-independent pathway. Moreover, p27 detected in anti-Cdk4 and anti-Cdk2 immunoprecipitates from the OCE-treated cells, suggesting that OCE-induced p27 protein blocks Cdk kinase activities by directing binding to the cyclin/Cdk complexes. Furthermore, OCE treatment potently suppresses the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma proteins and the levels of the transcription factor E2F-1 expression. Taken together, these results indicated that the growth inhibitory effect of OCE in Hep3B hepatoma cells was associated with the induction of G1 arrest of the cell cycle through regulation of several major growth regulatory gene products.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to identify the anticancer effect of biological substances of ethylacetate(EtOAc) fraction from Orostachys japonicus(OJEF), their effect on human melanoma A375 cells and the related molecular mechanisms. Methods : The MTS assay was used to confirm the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation in A375 cells. And the $MUSE^{TM}$ analyzer was used to determine the ability of OJEF to induce cell cycle arrest. Western blotting was used to determine the changes in protein expression in A375 cells after treatment with OJEF. Results : OJEF showed cytotoxicity to A375 cells. And cell cycle arrest occurred in G1 phase and G2/M phase owing to inhibition of CDK1, cyclin B1, CDK4, and cyclin D, which are related to cell cycle regulation and cell division control. Conclusion : OJEF is effective in regulating cell cycle of human melanoma cells and thus can be a good theraputic agent to treat patients with melanoma.

  • 본 연구에서는 마늘에서 유래된 생리활성 물질인 diallyl trisulfide (DATS) 처리에 따른 U937 인체혈구암세포의 증식억제가 apoptosis 및 cell cycle arrest 유발과 관련이 있는지 조사하였다. U937 세포증식은 DATS에 의해 농도 및 시간 의존적으로 감소함을 확인 하였고, 이는 apoptosis에 의한 직접적인 세포죽음과 CDK1 및 cyclin B1의 발현 증가 및 histone H3의 인산화와 연관된 mitotic arrest와 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 DATS 처리 초기에 reactive oxygen species (ROS)의 생성이 매우 증가되었으나, ROS scavenger (N-acetyl-l-cysteine)에 의한 인위적 ROS 생성의 억제는 DATS에 의한 apoptosis 및 mitotic arrest를 완벽하게 차단시켰다. 이는 U937 세포에서 DATS에 의해 유도된 apoptosis 및 mitotic arrest가 ROS에 의해 매개된다는 것을 의미하며, 본 연구의 결과는 DATS가 인체혈구암세포에서 세포증식억제와 관련된 항암기전을 이해할 수 있는 기초자료로서 매우 유용하게 사용될 것이라 생각된다.

  • Viscum album var (VAV) also known as mistletoe, has long been categorized as a traditional herbal medicine in Asia. In addition to its immunomodulating activities, mistletoe has also been used in the treatment of chronic hepatic disorders in China and Korea. There are numerous reports showing that VAV possesses anti-cancer effects, however influence on human hepatocarcinoma has never been elucidated. In the present study, hot water extracts of VAV was evaluated for its potential anti-cancer effect in vitro. SK-Hep1 cells were treated with VAV (50-400ug/ml) for both 24 and 48 hours then cell viability was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Flow cytometry analysis was used to measure the proportion of SK-Hep1 in the different stages of cell cycle. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were conducted to measure expression of cell cycle arrest related genes and proteins respectively. VAV dose dependently inhibited the proliferation of SK-Hep1 cells without any cytotoxicity with normal Chang liver cell (CCL-13). Flow cytometry analysis showed that VAV extract inhibited the cell cycle of SK-Hep1 cells via G1 phase arrest. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis both revealed that cyclin dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) and cyclin D1 gene expression were significantly down regulated while p21 was upregulated dose dependently by VAV treatment. Combined down regulation of Cdk2, Cyclin D1 and up regulation of p21 can result in cell death. These results indicate that VAV showed evidence of anti-cancer activity through G1 phase cell cycle arrest in SK-Hep1 cells.

  • Diphenyleneiodonium (DPI)는 NADPH oxidase 같은 flavoenzymes의 저해제로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인간 대장암 세포주 HCT-116 (wild-type p53)와 HT-29 (p53 mutant) 및 인간 유방암 세포주인 MCF-7(wild-type p53)의 세포성장 과정에서의 DPI의 효과를 살펴보았다. DPI는 농도 및 시간 의존적으로 암세포주의성장을 막았으며 G2/M phase에서 cell cycle arrest를 일으켰다. Cell cycle arrest의 가장 높은 값은 DPI 처리후 12 시간에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 한편 DPI는 아폽토시스 그리고 cell cycle arres 에 관여하는 유전자 발현에 관여하는 p53의 표현을 크게 증가시켰으며, 이는 DPI처리 후 6시간 후 부터 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 NADPH oxidase의 조합을 억제하는 catechol 계인 apocynin은 p53의 발현을 유도하지 못하였다. 이것은 DPI에 의해 유도되는 p53의 발현증가는 NADPH oxidase활성의 저해와 관련되어 있지 않다는 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 DPI는 HCT-116, HCT-15 및 MCF-7 암세포주에서 ROS에 비 의존적으로 wild-type p53 발현의 증가를 유도하며, 이 증가된 p53은 DPI에 의해 유도되는 성장 억제 및 C2/M phase에서의 cell cycle arrset과정의 조절기전에 관여한다는 것을 시사한다.

  • Background: Recent attention on chemotherapeutic intervention against cancer has been focused on discovering and developing phytochemicals as anticancer agents with improved efficacy, low drug resistance and toxicity, low cost and limited adverse side effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of Curcuma C20-dialdehyde on growth, apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in colon and cervical cancer cell lines. Materials and Methods: Antiproliferative, apoptosis induction, and cell cycle arrest activities of Curcuma C20-dialdehyde were determined by WST cell proliferation assay, flow cytometric Alexa fluor 488-annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining and PI staining, respectively. Results: Curcuma C20 dialdehyde suppressed the proliferation of HCT116, HT29 and HeLa cells, with IC50 values of $65.4{\pm}1.74{\mu}g/ml$, $58.4{\pm}5.20{\mu}g/ml$ and $72.0{\pm}0.03{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, with 72 h exposure. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that percentages of early apoptotic cells increased in a dose-dependent manner upon exposure to Curcuma C20-dialdehyde. Furthermore, exposure to lower concentrations of this compound significantly induced cell cycle arrest at G1 phase for both HCT116 and HT29 cells, while higher concentrations increased sub-G1 populations. However, the concentrations used in this study could not induce cell cycle arrest but rather induced apoptotic cell death in HeLa cells. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the phytochemical Curcuma C20-dialdehyde may be a potential antineoplastic agent for colon and cervical cancer chemotherapy and/or chemoprevention. Further studies are needed to characterize the drug target or mode of action of the Curcuma C20-dialdehyde as an anticancer agent.
