Oral squamous carcinoma (OSC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral mucosa. Although the etiology of OSC is not fully understood, accumulated evidences indicate that the activation of proto-oncogenes and the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes underlie the disease development. An OSC cell line, YD-9 was newly established and characterized. However, the mutational analysis of p53 gene was not performed. Thus, in this study, the presence of mutation in the p53 gene was examined by amplification of exon-4 to -8 and subsequent DNA sequencing. Two point mutations were found in exon-4 and -6: A to G, resulting in amino acid change Tyr to Cys in exon-4, and C to G, resulting in amino acid change Gly to Arg in exon-6, respectively. Any mutation was not found in the exon-5, -7 and -8. The presented results would contribute to basic research to understand the biological mechanism of OSC using YD-9 cells.

여러 종류의 폐암과 췌장암 세포주를 배양하여 DNA를 분리하였다. 분리한 DNA는 PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction)로 증폭하여 염기 서열화를 시행하여 K-ras와 p53 유전자들의 돌연변이 종류. 빈도 및 가능한 관계에 대하여 조사하였다. 연구한 암세포주 중 약 81%가 종양 유전자 K-ras와 암 억제 유전자 p53 중 적어도 하나의 돌연변이를 가지고 있었으며 두 유전자 각각에 대해서는 암 세포주 중 약 54.5%에서 돌연변이가 나타났다. 발견된 돌연변이의 종류는 1개의 세포주에 발견된 넌센스 돌연변이 이외에는 모두 미스센스 돌연변이가 일어났으며 2개의 세포주에서 일어난 염기 삽입이외에는 모두 염기 치환이 일어났다. 현재까지 p53 코돈 중 ras와 동시에 돌연변이가 일어난다고 보고된 코돈 이외에도 p53 코돈 164-165과 248이 K-ras와 동시에 돌연변이가 발생하였고, p53 유전자의 돌연변이의 위치에 관계없이 K-ras 유전자에서는 exon 1. 코돈 12개에서 돌연변이가 발생하였다.

Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene, through alternative splicing of its C-terminal region, generates several PML isoforms that interact with specific partners and perform distinct functions. The PML protein is a tumor suppressor that plays an important role by interacting with various proteins. Herein, we investigated the effect of the PML isoforms on oncostatin M (OSM)-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3) transcriptional activity. PML influenced OSM-induced STAT-3 activity in a cell type-specific manner, which was dependent on the p53 status of the cells but regardless of PML isoform. Interestingly, overexpression of PML exerted opposite effects on OSM-induced STAT-3 activity in p53 wild-type and mutant cells. Specifically, overexpression of PML in the cell lines bearing wild-type p53 (NIH3T3 and U87-MG cells) decreased OSM-induced STAT-3 transcriptional activity, whereas overexpression of PML increased OSM-induced STAT-3 transcriptional activity in mutant p53-bearing cell lines (HEK293T and U251-MG cells). When wild-type p53 cells were co-transfected with PML-IV and R273H-p53 mutant, OSM-mediated STAT-3 transcriptional activity was significantly enhanced, compared to that of cells which were transfected with PML-IV alone; however, when cells bearing mutant p53 were co-transfected with PML-IV and wild-type p53, OSM-induced STAT-3 transcriptional activity was significantly decreased, compared to that of transfected cells with PML-IV alone. In conclusion, PML acts together with wild-type or mutant p53 and influences OSM-mediated STAT-3 activity in a negative or positive manner, resulting in the aberrant activation of STAT-3 in cancer cells bearing mutant p53 probably might occur through the interaction of mutant p53 with PML.

방사선은 DNA손상을 초래하고 세포 성장에 관련된 유전자의 발현 조절 및 apoptosis등을 유발한다고 알려져 있으며 본 연구는 신경계에 있어 방사선 조사 후 종양 발생율과 시간 경과의 관계 및 조사 양과 암 발생의 관계를 구명하기 위해 코발트 60의 전신조사에 따른 흰쥐 뇌 조직의 생체 반응을 연구하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 상기조직의 jun 및 p53 유전자의 발현도를 1 Gy로 부터 100 Gy 범위의 감마선 용량별 및 1시간에서 6시간까지의 조사 훈 경과 시간 별로 Northern 분석하였다. Jun유전자 발현도는 ley이하에서 1시간 이내에 한계수준에 도달하였으며 30 Gy의 조사 1시간 째에 최대였다. 또한 조사 1시간 이후 1 Gy로부터 10 Gy 범위에서는 조사 5시간 및 6시간까지 점진적으로 증가되었으나 20 Gy로부터 100 Gy 범위에서는 조사 2시간까지 증가 후 감소되는 양상을 나타냈다. p53유전자의 발현도는 1 Gy이하에서 1시간 이내에 한계 수준에 근접했고 1 Gy의 조사 후 6시간 째에 최대였다. 1 Gy로부터 40 Gy까지의 범위에서는 조사 5시간 및 6시간까지 점진적으로 증가되는 반면 50 Gy에서 100 Gy범위에서는 조사 2시간 째까지 증가 후 감소되는 양상을 보였다. 따라서 감마선 조사양이 높을수록 jun 및 p53유전자는 신속하게 최대로 발현되었고 감마선 조사양이 낮을수록 서서히 증가되었다 그러나 jun유전자와 p53유전자의 감마선 조사에 따른 발현 양상에는 상호간의 연관성을 찾을 수 없었다.

본 연구에서는 MSI와 구강암과의 상관관계를 규명하기 위하여 17례의 구강암에 대하여 12종류의 marker를 이용하여 MSI 빈도를 조사하였으며, 동시에 p53단백의 과발현과 유전자 돌연변이 양상에 대해서도 알아보았다. 그 결과 4종류 이상의 marker에 대해서 MSI가 나타나는 widespread MSI의 경우 임상병리학적으로 뚜렷한 특징이 없었다. 또한 흡연과 MSI 빈도간에도 연관성이 없었으나 흡연은 p53 유전자의 돌연변이를 증가시켜 암화과정을 촉진하는 작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

The cell growth inhibitor effect of cervical cancer cells was investigated by liposome mediated transfection (pRcCMVp53/lipofectin) and by transfection using adenovirus (AdCMVp57). The papilloma virus cancer cell lines we used in this study were HPV16 positive, having inhibiter gene, wild p53 gene, CaSki, SiHa, HPV18 positive HeLa, HeLaS3 and HPV negative C33A, HT3. LacZ gene of E.coli was used as the marker gene for the transfection efficiency. The effect on the inhibition of tumor cell growth was measured by cell count and cell viability though ELISA analysis and MTT assay. The inhibition of tumor cell growth was confirmed by measuring each assay for six days, comparing with the normal control cell growth. The cell growth of cervical cancer calls by transfection was significantly reduced and showed tittle differences among the cell lines. To eliminate the potential problem of Ad(adenovirus) contamination during rAAV production, rAAV can be produced by a triple transfection of vector plasmic, packaging plasmid, and adenovirus helper plasmid. To examine the helper functions of Ad plasmids on the production of rAAV vector, we carried out cotransfection of three plasmids, AAV vector, packaging construct, and Ad helper plasmids. The optimized transfection condition for calcium phosphate method is 25ug of total DNA per 10-cm-diameter plate of 293 cell. We found that rAAV yields peaked at 48hr after Ad infection. The titer of rAAV was measured by the dot blot analysis to measure the number of particles/ml based on the quantification of viral DNA. Recent1y, Kombucha(fungi) was identified as a very potent antileukefic agent. In the present study, effect of natural toxin(plankton) and Kombucha is PSP(GTXI-3, neoSTX), on various MTT assay cervical cancer cell line. Toxin(GTX 1-3, neoSTX) also inhibited the proliferation in primary cervical cancer calls in a dose-dependent toxin concentration. These results showed that toxin was very potent in inhibiting the proliferation of cervical cancer calls in vitro. Toxins and Kombuoha exhibited a dose dependent inhibition of cellular proliferation in cancer cell line.

Purpose : This study was aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of Leonurus sibiricus on the proliferation of human uterine leiomyoma cells and the expression of gene related the mechanism of cell apoptosis. Methods : We counted the number of death cells treated with indicated concentration of Leonurus sibiricus and investigated cell death rate by MTS assay. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis and DNA fragmentation assay were used to dissect between necrosis and apoptosis and then we observed the differential gene expression by western blot analysis. Results : Leonurus sibiricus significantly inhibited the proliferation of uterine leiomyoma cell in a dose-dependent and time dependent manner. Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis indicated that Leonurus sibiricus induced G1 cell cycle arrest. Leonurus sibiricus enhanced the expression of p27 and p53 with cell cycle arrest. Conclusion : These findings suggest that Leonurus sibiricus is a candidate agent for the treatment of uterine leiomyoma. p27, $p53^{1}$ may play an important role in Leonurus sibiricus-induced cell cycle arrest and cell growth inhibition.

연구배경 : p53은 흔히 종양 억제 유전자로 생각되며, 그것의 변화는 비소세포 폐암을 포함하는 여러 악성 종양에 관여하게 된다. 그런, p53 발현율은 저자들의 보고마다 그리고 서로 다른 세포형에서 차이가 있다. 또한, p53의 발견시기가 조기인지 또는 후기인지도 명확치 않다. 이에, 저자들은 서로 다른 세포형과 조직에서의 p53 발현율을 조사하기 위해 그리고, 조기 또는 후기의 어느 시기에 발현하는지를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방법 : 비소세포 폐암환자 50명으로부터 얻은 71개의 조직을 대상으로 비특이적인 단일클론 항체를 이용한 비교적 간단한 면역조직화학적염색을 시행하였다. 결과: 1) 비소세포 폐암환자에서 폐조직에서의 전체적인 p53 발현율은 46.5%(20/43)로 림프절의 25.0%(6/24)에 비해 높았으나, 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. 2) 세포형에 따른 폐조직에서의 p53 발현용은 편평세포암과 선암에서 각각 58.3%와 50.0%로 두 군간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 3) 병기에 따른 폐조직에서의 p53 발현율은 I기, II기, IIIA기, IIIB기 및 IV기 각각에서 33.3%, 60.0%, 40.0%, 60.0%, 66.7% 이었으며, 병기에 따른 발현율의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 또한, 낮은 병기(I기 및 II기)와 진행된 병기(IIIa기, IIIb기 및 IV기)간에도 유의한 차이는 없었다. 4) T 지표에 따른 p53 발현율은 T1, T2, T3 및 T4에서 각각 33.3%, 50.0%, 16.7% 및 100%로 T4에서 발현율이 높았으나 대상 환자수가 적어 의의를 둘 수가 없었다. N 지표에 따른 발현율은 N1, N2 및 N3에서 각각 27.2%, 22.2% 및 25.0%로 발현율의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 5) 폐조직에서 양성반응을 보이고 림프절 침범이 있었던 7명의 환자들에서 N1, N2의 발현율은 각각 12.5%(1/8)과 50.0%(2/4)이었다. 6) 폐조직에서 음성반응을 보이고 림프절 침범이 있었던 5명의 환자들에서 발현되는 림프절은 없었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 비소세포 폐암에서의 p53 발현율은 세포형과 병기의 진행과는 관련이 없는 것으로 생각되며, 폐암 발생 및 진행의 어느 시기에 관여하는지에 대해서는 또 다른 연구가 필요하리라 생각되었다.
