Tumor cell interaction with the extracellular matrix is defined as the critical event of tumor invasion that signals the initiation of a metastatic cascade. Sesquicillin has been identified as an inhibitor of melanoma cell adhesion to the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in cultured broth of fungal strain F60063. Sesquicillin strongly inhibited the adhesion of B16 melanoma cells to laminin, fibronectin, and typeIV collagen. It also inhibited B16 melanoma cell invasion of reconstituted basement membrane Matrigel in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that sesquicillin is a new class of nonpeptidic ECM adhesion inhibitor having anti-invasive activity.

In this study, seven strains isolated from mustard leaf kimchi were screened for their tolerance to simulated gastric and bile juices, the adhesive properties to Caco-2 cells, and the inhibition ability of Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 29631 adhesion. Lactobacillus acidophilus GK20, Lactobacillus paracasei GK74, and Lactobacillus plantarum GK81, which were resistant to bile as well as gastric juices, possessed high bile-salt hydrolase (BSH) activity towards both sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate. The strongest in vitro adherence of $53.96{\pm}4.49%$ was exhibited by L. plantarum GK81 followed by L. acidophilus GK20 with adhesion levels of $40.72{\pm}9.46%$. The adhesion of these strains was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced after exposure to pepsin and heating for 30 min at $80^{\circ}C$. Addition of $Ca^{2+}$ led to a significant (p < 0.05) increase of the adhesion of L. acidophilus GK20, but the adhesion ability of L. plantarum GK81 was not different from the control by the addition of calcium. In the competition and exclusion experiment, the adhesion inhibition of S. Typhimurium by L. plantarum GK81 strain was much higher than the other strains. Moreover, the exclusion inhibition of S. Typhimurium by L. acidophilus GK20 was considerably high, although the inhibition activity of this strain was lower than L. plantarum GK81.

The characteristics of selective oxidation prior to hot-dip galvanizing with the annealing atmosphere dew point and chemical composition in dual-phase steels and their effect on the inhibition layer formation relevant to coating adhesion have been studied using a combination of electron microscopic and surface analytical techniques. The annealed and also galvanized samples of 3 kinds of Si/Mn ratios with varied amounts of Si addition were prepared by galvanizing simulator. The dew point was controlled at soaking temperature $800^{\circ}C$ in 15%$H_2$ -85%$N_2$ atmosphere. It was shown that good adhesion factors were mainly uniformity of oxide particle distribution of low number density and low Si/Mn ratio prior to hot-dip galvanizing. Their effect was the greatly reduced coating bare spots and the formation of uniform inhibition layer leading to good adhesion of Zn overlay. The mechanism of good adhesion is suggested by two processes: the formation of inhibition layer on the oxide free surface uncovered with no $SiO_2$-containing particles in particular, and the inhibition layer bridging of oxide particles. The growth of inhibition layer was enhanced markedly by the delayed reaction of Fe and Al with the increase of Si/Mn ratio.

Helicobacter pylori specifically adhere to host cells through a number of putative receptors and ligands, mainly based on carbohydrate-protein interactions. Polysaccharide fractions isolated from the leaves of Artemisia capillaris showed different inhibitory activities against H. pylori adhesion by using hemagglutination assay. Among these fractions, an acidic polysaccharide fraction FlA showed highly effective inhibitory activity, and its minimum inhibition concentration was 0.63 mg/ml. The inhibition results by the hemagglutination assay were consistent with those obtained by the enzymelinked glycosorbent assay, which was developed by the conjugation of horseradish peroxidase with fetuin, a sialic acid-containing glycoprotein which was specific to H. pylori adhesion. FlA contained the highest carbohydrate content among polysaccharide fractions, and no protein was detectable when further purified by gel filtration FPLC. Sugar composition analysis using GC revealed the highest amount of galacturonic acid among sugars, which suggests that FlA contains essentially acidic polysaccharides. Our data suggest that acidic polysaccharides may play an important role in the inhibition of H. pylori adhesion to host cells.

최근 들어 건강에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 건강증진과 관련된 많은 probiotics 균주들의 선별에 대한 연구가 계속해서 진행되고 있다. L. acidophilus를 포함하는 probiotics 중 장 상피세포에 부착력이 우수한 균종들이 보고되고 있으며 이들은 병원성 미생물을 예방하는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 실험에서는 HT-29 cell을 대상으로 다양한 근원으로부터 분리된 L. acidophilus의 부착능력을 측정하였다. 부착능이 우수하다고 보고된 LGG를 대조구로 부착능력을 평가하였을 때 5종의 L. acidophilus 모두 LGG와 유사한 부착능력을 나타내었으며 L. acidophilus A4의 경우 가장 높은 1.2${\times}$$10^{7}$ cfu/ml의 부착능력을 보였다. 따라서 장 상피세포에 대한 부착능력이 host에 대한 특이성과는 높은 상관관계가 없는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 부착된 유산균을 3분씩 3회 연속 wash-out을 실시하였을 때 모두 $10^{5}$ cfu/mL 이상의 부착능력을 유지하였다. 그러나 이러한 probiotics의 부착능력과 세포표면 소수성의 상관관계를 관찰하였을 때 어떠한 유의성도 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험에서 사용된 5종의 L. acidophilus의 경우 세포표면 소수성에 의해 부착능력이 나타나는 것이 아니라 다른 기작에 의해 부착능력이 나타나는 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 5종의 L. acidophilus를 대상으로 EHEC ATCC 43889의 장 상피세포 부착억제능력을 측정하였을 때 5종 모두 대조구와 비교했을 때 EHEC의 부착을 2 log 수준으로 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 명확하지는 않지만 이는 일부 유산균주의 부착능력과 관계가 있는 것으로 생각되며 또한 유산균이 생성하는 발효산물이나 세포표면 단백질에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 생각된다.다.

The leukocyte adhesion to endothelium is pivotal in leukocyte recruitment which takes place during inflammatory, autoimmune and infectious conditions. The interaction between leukocytes and endothelium requires an array of adhesion molecules expressed on leukocytes and endothelial cells, thereby promoting leukocyte recruitment into sites of inflammation and tissue injury. Intervention with the adhesion molecules provides a platform for development of anti-inflammatory therapeutics. This review will focus on developmental endothelial locus-1 (Del-1), an endogenous inhibitor of leukocyte adhesion.

H. pylori 유래의 위장 질환에 대한 예방 및 치료에 대체할 수 있는 방법으로 감염 원인균의 부착 억제와 탈착이 가능한 물질의 사용이 타당성 조사 및 그 기초연구를 목적으로 조사하였다. 우선, 닭에 면역접종을 하여 면역접종 횟수에 따른 IgG 항체의 증가를 확인하여 면역접종을 하지 않은 군에 비해 10배 이상 H. pylori에 대한 항체가 생산되는 것을 확인하였다. H. pylori가 위 상피세포에 결합하는 현상이 H. pylori의 감염에 중요한 첫 단계라는 점에 착안하여 H. pylori의 위벽세포에 대한 결합의 특성을 조사하는 한편, 여러가지 부착 억제 후보물질을 이용하여 단독 또는 H. pylori에 대한 난황 항체와 함께 H. pylori의 부착 억제 정도를 실험하였다. 부착 억제 실험의 결과, 난황 항체를 이용하여 H. pylori(NCTC11637, ATCC43526)가 AGS에 부착하는 것을 저해가 가능하였으며 NCTC11637와 ATCC43526 모두 균체 및 외막단백으로 면역접종하여 생산된 항체의 경우 0.5 mg/mL의 농도로 NCTC11637은 80%, ATCC43526은 60% 정도의 부착 억제를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 탈착 실험의 결과도 면역접종을 실시한 난황 항체가 40-60% 정도의 탈착 효과를 보였으며 균체 자체와 외막 단백을 항원으로 사용한 군 사이의 탈착력 차이는 크지 않았다. 그러나 이러한 결과들이 사용 균주에 따라, 특히 분리 균주를 이용한 경우에는 상이한 결과들이 나타나므로 항체를 이용한 경우에는 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 난황 항체는 식품성분의 하나로서 안정성의 면에서 매우 유리하고 대량 생산이 가능하므로 특이적 항체를 많이 생산할 수 있는 항원의 개발과 함께 정제도를 높인다면 더욱 좋은 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 외국의 다른 연구에서 보고된 경우와 같이 in vitro에서 유효한 물질이 in vivo에서 효과가 없는 경우도 종종 보고되고 있어 지금까지 탐색한 물질의 in vivo에서의 부착 억제 효과에 대한 진단도 함께 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료되며 또한 앞서 기술한 바와 같이 H. pylori의 결합에 관계하는 receptors 및 ligands가 어떤 특정한 한가지가 아니라 여러 가지의 복합적인 물질이 관여하는 것이기 때문에 여기에 대해서는 더 많은 연구가 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다.

Nephrin, a structural molecule, is also a signaling molecule after phosphorylation. Inhibition of nephrin phosphorylation is correlated with podocyte injury. The PINCH-1-ILK-${\alpha}$-parvin (PIP) complex plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and cytoskeleton formation. We hypothesized that nephrin phosphorylation influenced cytoskeleton and cell adhesion in podocytes by regulating the PIP complex. The nephrin phosphorylation, PIP complex formation, and F-actin in Wistar rats intraperitoneally injected with puromycin aminonucleoside were gradually decreased but increased with time, coinciding with the recovery from glomerular/podocyte injury and proteinuria. In cultured podocytes, PIP complex knockdown resulted in cytoskeleton reorganization and decreased cell adhesion and spreading. Nephrin and its phosphorylation were unaffected after PIP complex knockdown. Furthermore, inhibition of nephrin phosphorylation suppressed PIP complex expression, disorganized podocyte cytoskeleton, and decreased cell adhesion and spreading. These findings indicate that alterations in nephrin phosphorylation disorganize podocyte cytoskeleton and decrease cell adhesion through a PIP complex-dependent mechanism.

Numerous natural herbal compounds have been reported to inhibit adhesion and migration of leukocytes to the site of inflammation Licorice extracts, which have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicinal preparation, possess various pharmacological effects. Isoliquiritigenin, a biogenetic precursor of flavonoids with various pharmacological effects, is a natural pigment present in licorice. We attempted to explore whether licorice extracts and isoliquiritigenin mitigate monocyte adhesion to tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$)-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In addition, it was tested whether the inhibition of monocyte adhesion to the activated HUVEC accompanied a reduction in vascular cell adhesion molecule-l expression(VCAM-l). Dry-roasted licorice extracts in methylene chloride but not in ethanol markedly interfered with THP-l monocyte adhesion to INF-$\alpha$-activated endothelial cells. licochalcone A compound isolated from licorice extract in methylene chloride appeared to modestly inhibit the interaction of THP-l monocytes and activated endothelium. In addition, isoliquiritigenin abolished the monocyte adhesion with attenuating VCAM-l protein expression on HUVEC induced by INF-$\alpha$. These results demonstrated that non-polar components from dry-roasted licorice extracts containing licochalcone A as well as isoliquiritigenin were active in blocking monocyte adhesion to cytokine-activated endothelimn, which appeared to be mediated most likely through the inhibition of VCAM-l expression on HUVEC. Therefore, licorice may hamper initial inflammatory events on the vascular endothelium involving induction of endothelial cell adhesion molecules.

BAY11-7082 was initially found to be an anti-inflammatory drug with NF-${\kappa}B$ inhibitory property. In this study, we evaluated modulatory function of BAY11-7082 on U937 cell-cell adhesion induced by CD29 (${\beta}1$-integrins). BAY11-7082 strongly blocked functional activation of CD29 (${\beta}1$-integrins), as assessed by cell-cell adhesion assay. However, this compound did not block a simple activation of CD29, as assessed by cell-fibronectin adhesion assay. In particular, to understand molecular mechanism of BAY11-7082-mediated inhibition, the regulatory roles of CD29-induced actin cytoskeleton rearrangement under cell-cell adhesion and surface level of CD29 were examined using confocal and flow cytometic analysis. Interestingly, this compound strongly suppressed the molecular association of actin cytoskeleton with CD29 at cell-cell adhesion site. Moreover, BAY11-7082 also diminished surface levels of CD29 as well as its-associated adhesion molecule CD147, but not other adhesion molecules such as CD18 and CD43. Therefore, our data suggest that BAY11-7082 may be involved in regulating immune responses managed by CD29-mediated cell-cell adhesion.
