  • A previous study showed that sulfur amino acid deprivation (SAAD) potentiated cytotoxicity induced by arsenic (As) and that activation of ERKl/2, p38 kinase and JNK1 was responsible for the potentiation of As toxicity. In the present study, we found for the first time that deprenyl a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor prevented potentiation of As toxicity by SAAD in a dose-dependent manner.(omitted)

  • A cytotoxic sesquiterpene against L1210 cell has been isolated from the root of Curcuma domestica. Its structure was identified as ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$. The cytotoxicity-potentiating substance was (+)-ar-turmerone. (+)-ar-Turmerone potentiated the cytotoxicity of ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$(5 fold in $ED_{50}$ value) and an unknown sesquiterpene which was isolated from the root as well, and that of aurapten(6.3 fold) isolated from the unripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata. Moreover, it potentiated the cytotoxic activities of MeCCNU 10 fold and cyclophosphamide 10 fold. Except the fact that all the effective cytotoxic substances possess relatively good lipophilicity, no relationship between structures of the cytotoxic substances and the cytotoxicity-enhancing effect of (+)-ar-turmerone could be observed.

  • Previously, we have reported that methylene blue (MB) induces cytotoxicity in human brain tumor cells through the generation of free radicals. In this study the effect of deferoxamine (DFO), an iron chelator, on MB-induced cytotoxicity was investigated using SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma and U-373 MG human astrocytoma cells as model cellular systems. The cytotoxic effect of MB was potentiated by DFO. The potentiation effect of DFO was significantly blocked by either stoichiometric amounts of ferric ion, various antioxidants, hydroxyl radical scavengers or intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release blockers. These results suggest that hydroxyl radical and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ may act as important mediators of the enhanced cytotoxicity by MB and DFO. These results further suggest that the combined treatment with MB and DFO may be useful for the therapeutical applications of human brain tumors.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) on toxification/detoxification metabolic pathway in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. We measured the activities of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP450s) and UDP-glucuronyltransferase, sulfotransferase and glutathione-S-transferase in CSC-treated rat hepatocytes. CSC significantly increased the activities of hepatic CYP4501A1 and CYP4501A2 to 7.5 fold and 1.6 fold respectively, compared with control level. However, CSC did not affect the activities of conjugation enzymes. We a1so examined if treatment of CSC could change thc cytotoxicity of acetaminophen (AA) through modulation of metabolizing enzymes. In rat hepatocytes, pretreatment with CSC potentiated the cytotoxicity of AA. This result indicates that potentiation of AA toxicity by CSC pretreatment may be related to induction of CYP4501A1 and CYP4501A2.

  • Benzylacyclouridines (BAU and BBAU)는 uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase)의 선택적이고 강력한 상경억제제이다. 보고된 바에 의하면 (Cancer Res., 44: 1852, 1984) Benzylacyclouridines가 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd)의 인체 암세포에 대한 독성을 증가시켜 준다고 하였지만, L5187Y 세포를 사용한 본 실험에서는 Benzylacyclouridines가 FdUrd를 포함하여 5-fluorouridine (FUra) 모두에 대해 조금도 세포 독성을 증가시키지 못하였을 뿐만아니라, 오히려 세포를 그들 독성으로부터 투여량에 비례하여 보호하였다. 복강내 주사에 의한 생체실험에서도 Benzylacyclouridines는 5-fluorinated pyrimidine에 의한 L5187Y를 지닌 쥐(mouse)의 life-span을 연장시켜 주지 못하였다. 본 실험에서 Benzylacyclouridines가 기대했던 fluorinated pyrimidine 항암제의 효과를 증진시키지 못한 이유는 nucleosides의 anabolism이 UrdPase와 orotate phosphoribosyltransferase이 의한 sequential 작용에 의하던가 또는 Benzylacyclouridines에 의한 nucleosides의 수송억제에 의하던가, 아니면 두가지 다 복합적으로 작용한 결과로 생각된다.

  • For the analysis of structure relationship of ar-turmerone analogues, the compounds containing the various substituents on the phenyl ring and 1(or 2)-naphthyl group in the place of phenyl of ar-turmerone were prepared and tested their cytotoxicity against HL-60, K-562, and L1210 leukemia cells in vitro. The substituents at para position are methoxy, phenoxy, methyl, trifluoromethyl, fluoro, and chloro. At meta position methoxy, methyl, trifluoromethyl, or chloro groups at ortho position mathoxy or chloro group were introduced. Against HL-60 and K-562 cells, $ED_{50}$ values of the analogues are ranged from 0.8 to $30.0\;\mu{g/ml}$. Againste L1210 cell, these are located more than $20.0\;\mu{g/ml}$. However, 5-carbone-thoxy-2-methyl-6(1-naphthyl)-2-octen-4-one (5n)possesses $ED_{50}$ valuses 0.8, 2.1, $6.5\;\mu{g/ml}$ against HL-60, L1210 cells, respectively. The electronic nature of the substituents on phenyl ring of ar-tumerone dose not affect the biological activity. Therefore the flat structure of aromatic potion of ar-tumerone analogues is the more important factor for their activity rather than its electronic nature. The potentiation of the cytotoxicity with the enlargement of aromatic ring region also supports the importance of the plane structure of this area. The restriction of the single bond rotation between C-6 and aromatic ring through the introduction of substituents at the ortho position of phenyl ring and the increment of size of alkyl group at C-6 position enhances the activity. Therefore the effective conformation should by the one having the orthogonal arrangement between the aromatic ring and the side chain.

  • 항암 요법의 실패의 주요 원인으로 암세포의 항암제에 대한 내성 획득이 잘 알려져 있다. 비스테로이드소염제(NSAID)는 항염증작용뿐만 아니라 항암제와의 병용요법으로 임상적인 암 치료 요법에 응용되고있다. 본 연구에서는 NSAIDs 인 celecoxib 및 이의 구조 유사체인 2,5-dimethyl celecoxib 그리고 ibuprofen의 인간 암세포에 대한 imatinib 및 TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) 세포 독성 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. NSAID는 TRAIL 및 imatinib에 각각 약제 내성을 나타내는 간암 세포와 백혈병 세포에서 이들 약물의 세포독성을 증강시키는 활성을 나타내었다. NSAID는 ATF4/CHOP의 발현 증강으로 소포체 스트레스 및 오토파지(Autophagy, 자가포식)를 유도하였다. 이로 인한 DR5 발현 증강과 함께 c-FLIP 발현 억제로 TRAIL의 세포독성을 증강시키는 기전을 나타내었다. NSAID로 유도되는 오토파지 활성은 imatinib-resistant CD44highK562 백혈병세포의 imatinib 감수성을 증강시켰으며, NSAID는 이 세포에서 높은 발현을 나타내는 다양한 stemness-related marker 단백질의 발현 감소를 촉진시키는 활성으로 세포사멸을 유도하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 NSAID의 오토파지 유도 활성이 TRAIL과 imatinib의 세포 독성을 증강시키는 것으로서, NSAID와 이들 약물과 병용 처리방법은 인간 암세포의 TRAIL 및 imatinib 내성을 극복 시킴과 동시에 암세포에 이들 약물의 독성 부작용을 감소시킬 수 있는 낮은 농도의 처리를 가능하게 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 진핵세포의 염색체는 전사, 복제, 회복 등의 과정에서 관여하는 단백질의 기능으로 구조가 변하게 된다. 이때 관여하는 단백질은 DNA-단백질의 상호작용에 의해서 이루어지게 되는데, 이때 단백질의 일부분은 일정한 상동성이 존재하게 된다. 이러한 부분은 motif나 domain으로 구성되는데, 예를 들면, SAP domain등을 들 수 있다. S. pombe genomic DNA 데이터베이스를 검색하여 Arabidopsis PARP 과 KU70과 상동성을 보이는 새로운 유전자를 찾았다. 이를 SAPuvs (SAP UV Sensitive)라 명명하였으며, Ura4를 선별표지로 이용하여 S. pombe SAPuvs 유전자 결실세포를 구성하였다. SAPuvs 유전자 결실세포는 자외선 조사 실험에서 정상의 세포에 비해 현저하게 죽었다. 그러나, MMS 또는 MMS와 3AB의 처리 실험에서는 저항성을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 SAPuvs는 DNA 상해회복에서 염색사구조 형성에 연관되어 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Sophora flavescens Ait. (Fabaceae) is a medicinal plant widely founded in Northeast Asia, and its dried root (Kushen) has been used as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. The therapeutic effects of Kushen in micturition disorder was not investigated comprehensively yet. In the present study, we examined and compared the efficacy of three batches of Kushen extract using different ethanol content through an in vitro cell-based assay. Among them, we chose the batch with the highest efficacy and augmented the volume of extract for industrial purpose. The bulk extract was examined in its efficacy in the in vitro cell-based assay, and the therapeutic effects through an in vivo behavioral assay of OAB rats. The main components of the extracts were analyzed by liquid chromatography. Cytotoxicity of the extracts was investigated by MTT assay. The overall efficacy of the extract was as much as, or more than, kurarinone, a potent BKCa channel activator. Thus, the extract was a potent relaxant of urinary smooth muscle by upregulating the activity of BKCa channel. The Kushen extract could be explored as an alternative medicine against overactive bladder patients indicating severe dysfunction of BKCa channel.

  • 담자균류인 영지 Ganoderma lucidum의 자실체를 열수추출한 후 얻은 단백 다당체를 DEAE cellulose 이온교환수지와 Sepharose CL-4B 젤 여과법을 이용하여 분리 정제하였다. 정제한 분획들을 각각 CR, IN, IA, GL과 GH로 명명하였다. 각각의 성분을 20mg/kg/day 용량으로 투여하였을 때 sarcoma 180 고형암에 대하여 Fr. GL이 81%의 가장 높은 종양 억제을을 나타냈으며 그 분자량은 47,000 dalton이었다. 그 구성성분은 82% 다당류, 8% 단백질 및 0.9% hexosamine 이었다. 그 다당류를 구성하는 단당류를 분석한 결과 glucose, galactose, mannose, fucose순으로 함유되어 있었다. 항암작용의 기전을 밝히기 위하여 마우스의 면역에 미치는 항암 성분의 영향을 연구한 결과 활성화된 마크로파지에서 분비되는 superoxide anion 양을 1.6배로, 그리고 hemolytic plaque assay에서의 용혈반 형성 세포수를 6배로 각각 증가시켰다. 이 결과로 항암작용은 고형암에 직접적으로 세포독성을 나타내는 것이 아니라, 면역세포를 활성화 혹은 강화시키는 작용임을 알 수 있다.
