In this study, we evaluated the anti-cancer effect of extracts of leaves (ST-L) and branches (ST-B) from Sageretia theezans in human colorectal cancer cells. ST-L and ST-B significantly inhibited the proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells, SW480. ST-L and ST-B decreased cyclin D1 protein level through the induction of cyclin D1 proteasomal degradation via $GSK3{\beta}$-dependent threonine-286 phosphorylation of cyclin D1. In addition, ST-L and ST-B increased HO-1 protein through p38, ROS and $GSK3{\beta}$-dependent Nrf2 activation. These findings suggest that ST-L and ST-B may have great potential for the development of anti-cancer drug to treat human colorectal cancer.

The flower buds of Sophora japonica L (SF), as a well-known traditional Chinese medicinal herb, have been used to treat bleeding-related disorders such as hematochezia, hemorrhoidal bleeding, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and diarrhea. However, no specific anti-cancer effect and its molecular mechanism of SF have been described. Thus, we performed in vitro study to investigate if treatment of SF affects activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) expression and ATF3-mediated apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells. The effects of SF on cell viability and apoptosis were measured by MTT assay and Western blot analysis against cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). ATF3 activation induced by SF was evaluated using Western blot analysis, RT-PCR and ATF3 promoter assay. SF treatment caused decrease of cell viability and increase of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in HCT116 and SW480 cells. Exposure of SF activated the levels of ATF3 protein and mRNA via transcriptional regulation in HCT116 and SW480 cells. Inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 by PD98059 and p38 by SB203580 attenuated SF-induced ATF3 expression and transcriptional activation. Ectopic ATF3 overexpression accelerated SF-induced cleavage of PARP. These findings suggest that SF-mediated apoptosis may be the result of ATF3 expression through ERK1/2 and p38-mediated transcriptional activation.

Tumor angiogenesis, which is essential for tumor growth and tumor metastasis, depends on angiogenic factors produced by tumor cells and/or infiltrating cells such as endothelial cells and immune cells in tumor tissue. Previously, we reported that licochalcone A (LicA), an important bioactive compound of Glycyrrhiza inflate, suppresses angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. In this study, we evaluated the effect of LicA on angiogenin production in colon cancer cells because angiogenin is an essential factor to regulate angiogenesis and tumor progression. When we examined the angiogenin levels in three human colon cancer cells, HT-29, SW480 and Caco-2, LicA treatment significantly reduced the amounts of angiogenin among three cancer cell lines. In an in vivo study in which mice were implanted with HT-29 cells, oral administration of LicA reduced angiogenin in tumor tissues when compared with vehicle-administered mice. These results suggest that reduced angiogenin in response to LicA treatment may play essential role to inhibit tumor growth, angiogenesis as well as metastasis.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of Rodgersia podophylla leave extracts (RPL) on ${\beta}$-catenin level in human cancer cells. RPL dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation in SW480, A549, MDA-MB-231, PC-3 and AsPC-1 cells. RPL dramatically decreased ${\beta}$-catenin protein level in all cancer cells. However, decreased level of ${\beta}$-catenin mRNA expression was observed in A549 and AsPC-1 cells. In addition, RPL dramatically attenuated cyclin D1 mRNA expression in all cancer cells. MG132 decreased the downregulation of ${\beta}$-catenin protein level induced by RPL in all cancer cells, while RPL-induced downregulation of ${\beta}$-catenin was inhibited by the inhibition of $GSK-3{\beta}$ by LiCl in MDA-MB-231 cells. RPL phosphorylated ${\beta}$-catenin and $GSK-3{\beta}$. In addition, the inhibition of $GSK-3{\beta}$ by LiCl attenuated RPL-induced ${\beta}$-catenin phosphorylation. Based on these findings, RPL may be a potential candidate for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic agents for human cancer.

The anti-colorectal cancer monoclonal antibody CO17-1A (mAb CO), which recognizes the tumor-associated antigen EpCAM, was expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. PCR and western blot analyses showed the insertion and expression of heavy chain (HC)/HC fused to the KDEL ER retention modif (HCK) and light chain (LC) of mAb CO and mAb CO with HCK (mAb COK) in Arabidopsis transformants. Both plant-derived mAb^P CO and mAb^P COK were purified from a biomass of approximately 1,000 seedlings grown in a greenhouse. In sandwich ELISA, both mAb^P CO showed a slightly higher binding affinity for the target, EpCAM, compared to mAb^M CO. In cell ELISA, both mAbs^P COs showed binding affinity to the human colorectal cancer cell line SW480. Furthermore, mAb^M CO, mAb^P CO, and mAb^P COK exhibited dose and timedependent regression effects on SW480 cells in vitro. In summation, both mAb^P CO and mAb^P COK, expressed in Arabidopsis, recognized the target antigen EpCAM and showed anti-proliferative activity against human colorectal cancer cells.

The seed of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L) has been reported to suppress human cancer cell proliferation. However, the mechanisms by which safflower seed inhibits cancer cell proliferation have remained nuclear. In this study, the inhibitory effect of the safflower seed (SS) on the proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells and the potential mechanism of action were examined. SS inhibited markedly the proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116, SW480, LoVo and HT-29). In addition, SS suppressed the proliferation of human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7). SS treatment decreased cyclin D1 protein level in human colorectal cancer cells and breast cancer cells. But, SS-mediated downregulated mRNA level of cyclin D1 was not observed. Inhibition of proteasomal degradation by MG132 attenuated cyclin D1 downregulation by SS and the half-life of cyclin D1 was decreased in SS-treated cells. In addition, SS increased cyclin D1 phosphorylation at threonine-286 and a point mutation of threonine-286 to alanine attenuated SS-mediated cyclin D1 degradation. Inhibition of ERK1/2 by PD98059 suppressed cyclin D1 phosphorylation and downregulation of cyclin D1 by SS. In conclusion, SS has anti-proliferative activity by inducing cyclin D1 proteasomal degradation through ERK1/2-dependent threonine-286 phosphorylation of cyclin D1. These findings suggest that possibly its extract could be used for treating colorectal cancer.

당귀로부터 항암활성을 화합물을 silicagel column chromatography를 이용하여 분리 및 정제한 후, $^1H$와 $^{13}C-NMR$ MS, HMQC 및 COSY spectrum(500 MHz $CDCl_3$) 분석을 통하여 분자량 328의 decursin임을 구조 동정하였다. 정제된 decursin을 MCF-7에 24시간 처리한 결과 $20{\mu}g/mL$ 이상에서 농도 의존적으로 암세포주의 성장을 억제하였으며, SW480, HepG2, MCF-7및 293과 같은 인체 암세포주에 대한 decurcin의 $IC_{50}$값은 각각 31.04, 27.24, 20.45 및 $33.60{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나, decursin은 인체 정상세포주인 293세포를 포함한 다른 세포에 비하여 MCF-7에 대하여 가장 높은 성장억제 활성을 보여주었다. MCF-7세포에 decursin을 처리한 결과 대조군에서 균일한 핵의 형태가 관찰된 것에 반해 처리군의 경우는 핵의 응축과 apoptotic body를 보였고, DNA 절편이 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 당귀에서 분리한 decursin은 MCF-7세포에서 apoptosis를 통하여 세포의 성장을 억제하는 것을 암시한다.

Nonclassical aminobenz[cd]indole antifolates 4, 5 and 6, in which the glutamic acid moiety of the classical antifolates is substituted by 2-phenylglycinamide or 3-aminobenzamide, were synthesized and their in vitro antitumor activity was evaluated. The purpose of this substitution is that the lipophilicity is enhanced due to the aromatic ring of the target compounds for the passive transport through lipid membrane of cells while the hydrogen bonding of the amide is retained in the active site of the enzyme, thymidylate synthase, where the glutamate is originally present. The target compounds were highly cytotoxic against tumor cell lines of murine and human origin with micromolar to nanomolar $IC_{50}$ values. Most effective was compound 4 ($N^6-methyl-N^6$-[4-[(${\alpha}$(S)-aminocarbonylbenzyl) aminocarbonyl]benzyl]-2,6-diaminobenz[cd]indole)with $IC_{50}$ of 2 nM against SW480, human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, which is 650-fold more potent than the reference compound 3.
