Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of internal abdominis pressure(normal, hollowing and bracing) on trunk muscle activity during one leg bridge exercise. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Thirteen healthy adults (9 men and 4 women) were instructed to perform Internal abdominal pressure(IAP) control(Normal, Hollowing, Bracing) during one leg bridge. Electromyography (EMG) data (% Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction, MVIC) were recorded three times on both sides of the participant's Internal Oblique(IO), Effector Spinae(ES), and Multifidus(MF) muscles and the average value was analyzed. Results: As a result, Abdominal bracing one leg bridge (BOLB) group and Abdominal hollowing one leg bridge (HOLB) group showed significantly increased muscle activation of bilateral internal oblique, erector spinae and multifidus activation compared to the Normal one leg bridge (NOLB) group (p<0.05). Abdominal hollowing one leg bridge (HOLB) group had a significant difference in bilateral Internal oblique muscle activation in compared to the NOLB group (p<0.05). Conclusions: Bilateral internal oblique, erector spinae, and multifidus muscles activation in healthy adults at one leg bridge exercise showed greater activation at abdominal bracing. Therefore, in this study, IAP control can be used as an indicator of choice to the dysfunction with trunk muscle weakness and corrective exercise subject's situation when the goal is to activate the trunk muscles by performing one leg bridge.

본 연구에서는 두경부암 HN-4 세포에서 cancer chemopreventive agent인 curcumin과 resveratrol를 처리하여 HN-4 세포의 생육 억제의 원인이 apoptotic cell death에 의하여 일어나며 세포 주기 조절 단백질의 발현 및 암 전이에 관련된 MMP 활성 저해 기전에 대하여 이해하고자 하였다. HN-4 세포에 다양한 농도(10-100 ${\mu}M$) curcumin을 처리하여 세포주기 조절 단백질의 발현을 측정한 결과 cdk1과 cdk4 단백질이 농도 의존적으로 발현이 감소하였으며, resveratrol 처리에서는 cyclin A 단백질의 특이적인 감소 현상을 확인하였다. Curcumin에 의한 apoptosis 유도 기전을 조사한 결과 anti-apoptotic 기능이 있는 Bcl-2 및 Bcl-xL 단백질 발현 감소 현상은 없었으나, caspase 저해 IAP family 단백질중 cIAP1과 survivin 단백질 발현 현상이 처리 농도 의존적으로 감소하였다. Resveratrol을 처리한 경우 Bcl-2 및 survivin 단백질 발현 감소현상을 확인하였다. Curcumin과 resveratrol에 의한 apoptosis 과정은 caspase-3 의존적인 apoptosis 유도 기전을 보였다. Curcumin에 의한 apoptosis 과정은 항산화제인 NAC 처리에 의해서 저해되었다. Curcumin과 NAC 동시 처리는 cytochrome c 유리, caspase-3 활성화 및 Bax 단백질 분절 현상을 억제하였다. 그러나 resveratrol에 의한 apoptosis 과정은 NAC 처리에 의하여 억제되지 않았다. Curcumin과 resveratrol에 의한 암 전이 관련 단백질인 MMP2와 9의 활성 저해효과도 확인하였다. 결론적으로, curcumin에 의한 항암효과는 세포주기 조절 및 apoptosis 유도 및 전이 관련 단백질의 활성 억제를 통하여 야기되는 것으로 생각되어 진다.

Doxorubicin은 광범위한 암을 치료하는데 사용되는 일반적인 항암제이지만, 내인성 산화질소 생성량과 Doxorubicin의 항암 효과의 상관 관계에 대해서는 아직 명확하게 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 인간 대장암 세포에서 Doxorubicin의 항암 활성에 내인성 산화질소가 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. HCT116 (p53-WT)과 HT29 (p53-MUT) 세포에서 Doxorubicin 처리에 의해 세포 생존율의 차이를 보였으며, NMA 병행처리는 Doxorubicin의 효과를 감소시켰음을 확인할 수 있었다. 추가 연구를 통해 HCT116과 HT29 세포에서 sub-$G_1$ 기의 세포 빈도와 DNA 단편화의 결과를 통해 내인성 산화질소가 Doxorubicin에 의한 apoptosis를 조절하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 인간 대장암 세포에서 내인성 산화질소와 IAP 발현, p53의 상태에 따른 조절이 Doxorubicin에 의해 유도된다는 것을 보여주며, 이러한 메커니즘은 대장암에서 화학요법의 효율을 향상시키기 위한 전략적인 표적으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objective: Caspase-mediated apoptosis plays a crucial role in the regulation of endometrial and placental function in females. Caspase activity is tightly controlled by members of the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) family. However, the expression and regulation of IAPs at the maternal-conceptus interface has not been studied in pigs. Therefore, we determined the expression of IAP family members baculovirus IAP repeat-containing 1 (BIRC1) to BIRC6 at the maternal-conceptus interface in pigs. Methods: We obtained endometrial tissues from pigs at various stages of the estrous cycle and pregnancy, conceptus tissues during early pregnancy, and chorioallantoic tissues during mid- to late pregnancy and analyzed the expression of IAPs. Furthermore, we determined the effects of the steroid hormones estradiol-17β (E2) and progesterone on the expression of IAPs in endometrial explant tissue cultures. Results: During the estrous cycle, BIRC2 and BIRC5 expression varied cyclically, and during pregnancy, endometrial BIRC1, BIRC2, BIRC3, BIRC4, and BIRC5 expression varied in a stage-specific manner. Conceptus and chorioallantoic tissues also expressed IAPs during pregnancy. The BIRC2 and BIR3 mRNAs were localized to luminal epithelial cells, and BIRC4 proteins to glandular epithelial cells in the endometrium. Exposure of endometrial tissues to E2 increased the expression of BIRC6, while progesterone increased the expression of BIRC1, BIRC4, and BIRC6 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: These results indicated that IAPs were expressed in the endometrium during the estrous cycle and at the maternal-conceptus interface during pregnancy in a stage-specific manner. In addition, steroid hormones were found to be responsible for the expression of some IAPs in pigs. Together, the results suggested that IAPs may play important roles in endometrial and placental functions by regulating caspase action and apoptosis at the maternal-conceptus interface.

The current study aims to analyze the vegetation characteristics of the rocky slopes in expressway applied by different types of greening work. A field survey on the current status of vegetation were conducted in 50 rock slopes along 13 expressways in two years, 2020 to 2021. Specifically, the type of implemented greening and slope stabilization work, the soil properties, the vegetation coverage, and the emerged species were investigated on a every single slope. As the result of the implemented work types, the soil-media hydroseeding and the gabion work appeared to be the most implemented greening and slope stabilization work, respectively. As a result of the vegetation survey, 126 classification groups (42 families, 93 genera and 126 species) were identified in total and it was observed 26 IAP species and 5 invasive species were growing. The longer the time after greening work, the more frequent appearance of IAP species were observed. Woody species such as Robinia pseudoacacia and Lespedeza bicolo, and perennial herbs such as Artemisia princeps, Erigeron annuus, and Festuca arundinacea were appeared with high frequencies at the rocky slopes in expressway. It was also observed Pinus densiflora, Quercus dentata, Rubus crataegifolius and Miscanthus sinensis which had invaded from the adjacent forests naturally, and the largest number of species were invaded between 5~10 years usually after greening work in this study.

Purple loosestrife-Lythrum anceps (Koehne) Makino is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Lythraceae family. It has been used for centuries in Korea and other Asian traditional medicine. It has been showed pharmacological effects, including anti-oxidant and anti-microbial effects. However, the mechanisms underlying its anti-cancer mechanisms are not yet understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of apoptosis signaling pathways by ethanol extract of Lythrum anceps (Koehne) Makino (ELM) in human leukemia U937 cells. Treatment with ELM significantly inhibited cell growth in a dose-dependent manner by inducing apoptosis, as evidenced by the formation of apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs), DNA fragmentation and increased populations of sub-G1 ratio. Induction of apoptosis by ELM was connected with up-regulation of death receptor (DR) 4 and DR5, pro-apoptotic Bax protein expression and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, and inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family proteins (XIAP, cIAP-1, survivin), depending on dosage. This induction was associated with Bid truncation, mitochondrial dysfunction, proteolytic activation of caspases (-3, -8 and -9) and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase protein. Therefore, our data indicate that ELM suppresses U937 cell growth by activating the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways, and thus may have applications as a potential source for an anti-leukemic chemotherapeutic agent.

연구배경 : Proteasome 억제가 세포의 apoptosis에 미치는 영향은 세포 종류에 따라 차이를 보이고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 폐암 세포에서 proteasome 억제가 미치는 효과 및 그 기전에 관해서는 확실하게 규명되어 있지 못한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 폐암 세포주에서 proteasome 억제에 의한 apoptosis의 유도 유무를 관찰하고, 그 기전을 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 폐암 세포주인 A549와 NCI-H157 세포에 proteasome 억제제인 MG132와 PS-341을 투여하고 세포의 생존율을 MTT 분석으로 평가하였고, apoptosis 유무를 PARP 단백에 대한 Western 분석으로 확인하였다. Proteasome 억제가 caspase 3와 JNK의 활성화에 미치는 효과를 각각 Western 분석과 immunocomplex kinase 분석으로 평가하였다. Proteasome 억제제를 투여하고 항 apoptosis 경로인 ERK와 cIAP1에 미치는 효과를 Western 분석으로 평가하였다. 결 과 : A549와 NCI-H157 세포에 MG132를 투여하였을 때, 세포생존율의 감소가 관찰되었고, 이는 apoptosis의 유도에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. MG132와 PS-341 처치로 caspase 3와 JNK가 활성화되었다. 반면에 활성화된 ERK의 발현과 cIAP1의 발현은 감소하였다. 결 론 : 폐암 세포에서 proteasome 억제에 의한 apoptosis에는 caspase 3, JNK와 같은 apoptosis 유도 경로의 활성화와 함께 항 apoptosis 경로의 억제가 관여할 것으로 생각된다.

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) especially HPV-16 and HPV-18 types are speculated to be important risk factors in non-smoking associated lung cancer in Asia. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that HPV oncoproteins may contribute to lung tumorigenesis and cell transformation. Importantly, HPV 16/18 E6 and E7 oncoproteins can mediate expression of multiple target genes and proteins, such as p53/pRb, VEGF, HIF-$1{\alpha}$, cIAP-2, and hTERT, and contribute to cell proliferation, angiogenesis and cell immortalization through different signaling pathways in lung cancer. This article provides an overview of experiment data on HPV-associated lung cancer, describes the main targets on which HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins act, and further discusses the potential signaling pathways in which HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins are involved. In addition, we also raise questions regarding existing problems with the study of HPV-associated lung cancer.

Survivin, a new member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, both inhibits apoptosis and regulates the cell cycle. It is overexpressed in breast tumor tissues. In this study, we designed two survivin specific DNAzymes (DRz1 and DRz2) targeting survivin mRNA. The results showed that DRz1 could decrease the expression of survivin by nearly 60%. Furthermore, DRz1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and inhibited migration in MCF-7 cells. In addition, down-regulation of survivin expression was associated with increased caspase-3 and -9 activities in MCF-7 cells after 24 h transfection. In our experiments, the efficacy of DRz1 to influence survivin levels and associated effects were better than DRz2. Survivin-DRz1 might have anti-tumorigenic activity and may potentially provide the basis for a novel therapeutic intervention in breast cancer treatment.
