  • Inhibitory effects of Maclura amboinenesis Bl, one plant used traditionally for the treatment of cancers, on metastatic potential of highly metastatic B16F10 melanoma cells were investigated in vitro. Cell proliferation was assessed using the MTT colorimetric assay. Details of metastatic capabilities including invasion, migration and adhesion of B16F10 melanoma cells were examined by Boyden Chamber invasion and migration, scratch motility and cell attachment assays, respectively. The results demonstrated that n-hexane and chloroform extracts exhibited potent anti-proliferative effects (p<0.01), whereas the methanol and aqueous extracts had less pronounced effects after 24 h exposure. Bioactivity-guided chromatographic fractionation of both active n-hexane and chloroform extracts led to the isolation of two main prenylated xanthones and characterization as macluraxanthone and gerontoxanthone-I, respectively, their structures being identified by comparison with the spectral data. Interestingly, both exhibited potent effective effects. At non-toxic effective doses, n-hexane and chloroform extracts (10 and $30{\mu}g/ml$) as well as macluraxanthone and gerontoxanthone-I (3 and $10{\mu}M$) significantly inhibited B16F10 cell invasion, to a greater extent than $10{\mu}m$ doxorubicin, while reducing migration of cancer cells without cellular cytotoxicity. Moreover, exposure of B16F10 melanoma cells to high concentrations of chloroform ($30{\mu}g/ml$) and geratoxanthone-I ($20{\mu}M$) for 24 h resulted in delayed adhesion and retarded colonization. As insights into mechanisms of action, typical morphological changes of apoptotic cells e.g. membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, apoptotic bodies and loss of adhesion as well as cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase with increase of sub-G1 cell proportions, detected by Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry were observed, suggesting DNA damage and subsequent apoptotic cell death. Taken together, our findings indicate for the first time that active n-hexane and chloroform extracts as well as macluraxanthone and gerontoxanthone-I isolated from Maclura amboinensis Bl. roots affect multistep of cancer metastasis processes including proliferation, adhesion, invasion and migration, possibly through induction of apoptosis of highly metastatic B16F10 melanoma cells. Based on these data, M. amboinensis Bl. represents a potential candidate novel chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic agent. Additionally, they also support its ethno-medicinal usage for cancer prevention and/or chemotherapy.

  • 본 연구에서는 흑마늘 열수 추출물(ABG)의 암세포 전이억제 효능을 검정하였다. AGS AGS 인체위암세포의 이동성과 침윤성을 억제하였으며, 이는 TER의 증가와 연관성이 있었다. 또한 ABG에 의한 AGS 위암세포의 침윤성 억제는 TIMPs 발현 증가에 의한 MMPs의 발현 및 활성 저하에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 AGS 위암세포에서 과발현을 나타내는 TJ 단백질인 claudins의 발현 저하 등이 ABG의 항전이 효과에 연관되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 흑마늘 열수 추출물이 단순한 암세포의 증식억제를 통한 암예방 및 항암활성 뿐만 아니라 암세포의 전이 또한 효과적으로 억제할 수 있음을 보여주며, 이와 연관된 보다 구체적인 분자세포생물학적 접근 및 in vivo 연구의 필요성이 요구됨을 의미한다.

  • 콩잎은 골다공증 및 유방암 발생을 예방한다고 널리 보고되고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 콩잎낙엽 에탄올 추출물(SBFL)을 제조하여 암 전이와 관련 있는 세포침윤에 대한 효과를 조사하기 위하여 섬유아육종세포(HT1080)에서 SBFL이 항산화와 matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 활성산소의 소거 효과에 대한 SBFL효과는 DPPH radical, 환원력 및 지질과산화실험으로 평가되었다, 본 연구에서 SBFL은 양성 대조군으로 사용된 vitamin C 및 vitamin E와 비교 시 우수한 항산화 효과를 보여주었다. 다음으로 SBFL의 세포 독성을 측정하기 위하여 MTT assay를 수행한 결과 16 µg/ml 이상의 농도에서 세포독성을 보여주었다. SBFL은 gelatin zymography 실험에서 phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetae (PMA) 혹은 phenazine methosulfate (PMS)로 자극된 암 전이에서 중요한 MMP-9의 활성을 감소시켰다. 특히 SBFL은 단백질 발현 실험에서 SOD-1, p-FoxO-1의 발현을 증가시켰다. 더욱이 vascular endothelial growth Factor (VEGF)로 자극된 세포 침윤이 SBFL처리에 의하여 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 SBFL은 뛰어난 항산화 효과는 산화적 스트레스를 감소시키고 MMP-9의 활성과 세포침윤을 억제시켜 암 전이의 예방을 위한 유효성분으로 이용될 수 있다는 것을 암시하고 있다.

  • Purpose: Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading worldwide source of cancer-related deaths. Although some drugs targeting EGFR mutations have been developed, most advanced cases are still incurable. New targets for anticancer drugs are demanded. The kringle 1 domain of hepatocellular growth factor alpha chain (HGFK1) is a potent anti-angiogenesis factor. It has also emerged as a potential anticancer factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression of HGFK1 protein in patients with NSCLC has not been reported to date. Method: Here, we assessed HGFK1 expression by Western blotting in 103 cases with advanced NSCLC to investigate the impact of HGFK1 on survival. Results: Results revealed 33 (30.1%) patients were classified as high expressors, this being significantly associated with less remote metastasis (P = 0.002) but not with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.062). There was also a significant association between HGFK1 expression and tumor size (P = 0.025) as well as clinical stage (P = 0.012). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that both overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of patients with HGFK1 expression were longer than those of patients without HGFK1 expression (P = 0.004 and P = 0.001 respectively). HGFK1 reversed gefitinib inhibition in the resistent NSCLC cell line A431/GR but did not inhibit the proliferation of NSCLC cells A431 and A431/GR directly. Reversion of gefitinib inhibition in A431/GR cells by HGFK1 was related to decreased phosphorylation of ERK and STAT5. Conclusions: HGFK1 may be a useful prognostic factor of advanced NSCLC patients and a potential drug for gefitinib resistant patients.

  • 붉은색을 나타내는 홍영감자(Solanum tuberosum Linnaeus)는 국내에서 개발되었다. 이는 항산화, 항염증, 항바이러스 및 항암효과를 갖고 있는것으로 알려져 있으나, 아직까지는 YD-10B 구강암세포에서의 홍영에 의한 성장억제 및 세포사멸 효과 연구는 보고된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 시스플라틴과 홍영 에탄올 추출물의 병용처리에 의한 암세포 성장억제, 세포사멸 유도 및 MMP-2/-9 암전이 억제 능력을 확인하였다. 세포생존율 측정은 MTS법에 의해 조사하였고, 세포사멸 유도 능력은 FACS 분석기를 이용하여 분석하였고, MMP-2/-9의 유전자 발현과 단백질 활성은 RT-PCR과 Zymography법을 통하여 측정하였다. 결과로는, 홍영 에탄올 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 구강암 세포 성장억제 효과가 증가함을 보였다. 시스플라틴 단독처리보다 200 µM의 시스플라틴과 500 ㎍/ml의 홍영 에탄올 추출물 병용처리로 YD-10B 구강암세포의 성장이 50% 이상 감소하였다. PMA 처리된 YD-10B 구강암 세포에서 500 ㎍/ml의 홍영 에탄올 추출물과 200 µM의 시스플라틴을 병용처리 하였을 때, MMP-2/-9의 mRNA 발현과 단백질 활성들이 모두 감소하였다. 또한, 시스플라틴 단독처리보다 200 µM의 시스플라틴과 500 ㎍/ml의 홍영 에탄올 추출물 병용처리로 세포사멸 능력을 나타내는 Sub-G1의 세포비율이2배 이상 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구결과는 시스플라틴과 홍영 에탄올 추출물의 병용처리가 구강암의 효과적인 항암제로서의 가능성을 시사하고 있다.

  • Fuzhengfangaitang is a prescript for inhibiting recurrence and metastasis of cancer. We had examined the anti-metatstastic effect of Fuzhengfangaitang. Furthermore, we performed the following experiments with ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang. The purpose of this thesis is to study what ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang have more valuable anti-cancer effects. And the results are listed below: 1. Cell Viability assay At the dose of 400$\mu$g/ml, most ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang depressed viability of ECV-304. And especially, Scutellaria barbata D. DON$50{\mu}g/ml$ : 53.118%, $100{\mu}g/ml$: 49.092%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 43.765%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 12.747%), Polygonum bistorta L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 45.554%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 45.554%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 0.0%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 0.0%) and Psoralea corylifolia L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 86.591%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 81.307%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 24.801%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 3.111%) highly depressed cell viability more than the other ingredients. (${\alpha}$<0.05) 2. Cell Proliferation assay Proliferation assay with ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang on ECV-304 showed that Crataegus pinnatifuda BGE ($50{\mu}g/ml$: 63.276%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 64.092%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 68.966% $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 38.517%, ED50=$296.974{\mu}g/ml$), Polygonum bistorta L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 83.981%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 86.997%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 58.780%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 26.408%), ED50=$266.725{\mu}g/ml$) and Psoralea corylifolia L.($50{\mu}g/ml$ : 103.037%, $100{\mu}g/ml$ : 82.529%, $200{\mu}g/ml$ : 2.829%, $400{\mu}g/ml$ : 0.998%), ED50=$177.369{\mu}g/ml$) depressed cell proliferation more than the other ingredients. 3. Tube Formation assay Compared with the control group, most ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang did not remarkably inhibited the Tube Formation assay of ECV-304 at the dose of $100{\mu}g/ml$. But, Polygonum bistorta L. highly inhibited the tube formation of ECV -304 at the lower dose of $50{\mu}g/ml$. 4. Rat Aortic Ring assay In comparison with the control group, Scutellaria barbata D. DON., root of Polygonum bistorta L. and Psoralea corylifolia L. restricted the angiogenesis of the rat aortic ring at the dose of $100{\mu}g/ml$. And the other ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang did not restricted the angiogenesis of the rat aortic ring at that dose. Especially, Polygonum bistorta L. highly inhibited the angiogenesis of the rat aortic ring at the lower dose of $50{\mu}g/ml$. From our research, the anti-angiogenic effects of the ingredients of Fuzhengfangaitang was proven. Moreover, it will be helpful for designing more effective prescription for anti angiogenesis.

  • Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are crucial extracellular matrices degrading enzymes that take important roles in metastasis of cancer progression as well as other significant conditions such as oxidative stress and hepatic fibrosis. Natural products are on the rise for their potential to provide remarkable health benefits. In this context, halophytes have been of interest in the nutraceutical field with reported instances of isolation of bioactive compounds. In this study, Limonium tetragonum, an edible halophyte, was studied for its ability to inhibit MMP-2 and -9 using HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells. Results showed that L. tetragonum extract was able to inhibit the enzymatic activity and mRNA expression of MMP-2 and -9 according to gelatin zymography and RT-PCR assays, respectively, but it was not able to significantly change the MMP pathway related factors such as tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. Also, Mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway-related protein levels and their phosphorylation were assayed. While the phosphorylated p38 levels were decreased, extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase were not affected by L. tetragonum treatment. In conclusion, it was suggested that L. tetragonum contains substances acting as MMP inhibitors on enzymatic activity rather than intracellular pathway intervention, which could be useful for further utilization of L. tetragonum as a source for anti-MMP agents.

  • Background : Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the world. Types of lung cancer are Non small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Subtypes of Non small cell lung cancer are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. Knowing the type of lung cancer is important in determining both treatment and prognosis. Recently, due to newly developed anti-cancer drugs, squamous cell carcinoma has relatively poor prognosis than non-squamous cell carcinoma. Case : We report a squamous cell lung cancer case treated with allergen removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes (aRVS) extract. The patients initially diagnosed stage squamous cell lung carcinoma, but she refused recommended operation. She initiated aRVS extract monotherapy in October. 2006. The follow up Computed tomography in March. 2007, she diagnosed stable disease of tumor response on aRVS treatment. However, this case was lost to follow up for 6 months while she was treated with tomotherapy. In October 2007, she came back to our cancer center after diagnosed stage IV metastasized lung to lung, and aRVS monotherapy was restarted. She had survived 2 years after metastasis of squamous cell lung carcinoma. Conclusion : Allergen removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes(aRVS) sucessfully prolonged overall survival of a squamous cell lung cancer patient.

  • The aim of the study was to clarify the role of gastrokine 1 in the process of formation and development of gastric cancer. The expression of gastrokine 1 in gastric cancer and corresponding non-cancerous gastric tissues of 52 gastric cancer patients was assessed with the real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. We also analyzed the relationship between the expression level and clinicopathological characteristics. Gastrokine 1 gene and protein expression in gastric cancer tissues was in both cases significantly lower than in corresponding non-cancerous gastric tissues (both P<0.01), but no significant relationship was found with clinicopathological parameters including tumor location, depth of invasion, differentiation, lymph node metastasis, stage, gender, age and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level in peripheral blood preoperation of patients (P>0.05, respectively). Furthermore, gastrokine 1 gene expression was markedly lower in gastric cancer tissues of Helicobacter pylori (HP)-positive patients than negative ones (P<0.05). The result of the study showed that gastrokine 1 might play a significant role in the process of formation and development of gastric cancer as an anti-oncogene. Its effect might be weakened by HP infection.
