암전이는 현재까지 적당한 치료제가 거의 없었기 때문에 암에 의한 사망의 주요한 원인 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 최근 본 연구팀은 마늘 추출물과 순수분리한 성분에 대한 암전이 억제 시험 결과 마늘의 추출물 또는 성분이 암전이를 억제시켰으며, 역학조사에서도 마늘을 많이 섭취한 사람은 암의 발생을 억제시키는 것으로 보고되어 있다, 본 연구의 암전이 실험에서는 C57BL/6 mouse의 꼬리 정맥에 melanoma B16F10세포를 주사하여 폐에 전이를 유도하였다. 암세포 주사 1일 후에 마늘의 헥산 추출물 50, 100 및 200 mg/kg body weight를 2일 간격으로 21일 동안 구강투여 한 다음 암전이 억제효과를 조사하였다. GHE를 처리하지 않은 대조구에서는 폐에서 암 colony가 97.4±30.2으로 대량 생성되었다. GHE를 50, 100 및 200 mg/kg의 농도로 경구투여시에 암전이 빈도는 각각 6.93, 46.80 및 50.53% 억제하였다. 또한 100 mg/kg body weight 경구투여 시에는 폐로 암전이 억제율이 약 53% 이상으로 매우 높았다. 폐에서 melanoma cell colony의 발생율과 면적은 마늘 헥산 추출물의 농도가 높을수록 감소하였다. 결론적으로 C57BL/6 mice의 암전이 모델에서 마늘 헥산추출물의 구강투여는 폐에 암전이를 억제시켰으나, 향후 그 기작에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of N-acetylphytospingosine(NAPS), one of the phytospingosine derivatives, on melanogenesis of B 16F 1 0 mouse melanoma cell lines were investigated. We assessed the effect of NAPS on the depigmentation of B16F10 cells. The melanin content of cells was significantly reduced by NAPS. We examined the inhibitory effect of NAPS on tyrosinase activity using L-dopa as a substrate and the results showed that tyrosinase activity was inhibited in a does-dependent manner. The mRNA level of tyrosinase as well as that of tyrosinase related protein-l (TRP-l) and tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2) genes were not affected by NAPS based on a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. We also performed a Western blotting analysis using anti-tyrosinase antibody. It showed that there is no change in tyrosinase protein level after treatment of NAPS. These results suggest that the depigmenting mechanism of NAPS in B16F10 melanoma cells involves inhibition of melanosomal tyrosinase activity, rather than the mRNA expression or protein level of tyrosinase.

Background: To perform the successful dendritic cell-based cancer immunotherapy one of the main issues to be solved is the source of antigen for DC pulsing. Limitations occur by using auto-tumor lysate due to the difficulties obtaining enough tumor tissue(s) quantitatively as well as qualitatively. In this study the possibility of allogeneic tumor cell lysate as a DC pulsing antigen has been tested in mouse melanoma pulmonary me tastasis model. Methods: B16F10 melanoma cells $(1{\timeS}10^5/mouse)$ were inoculated intra venously into the C57BL/6 mouse. Therapeutic DCs were cultured from the bone marrow myeloid lineage cells with GM-CSF and IL-4 (1,000 U/ml each) for 7 days and pulsed with lysate of either autologous B16F10 (B-DC), allogeneic K1735 (C3H/He origin; K-DC) or CloneM3 (DBA2 origin; C-DC) melanoma cells for 18 hrs. Pulsed-DCs $(1{\times}10^6/mouse)_{[CGP1]}$ were injected i.p. twice with one week interval starting from the day 1 after tumor cell inoculation. Results: Without observable toxicity, allogeneic tumor cell lysate pulsed-DC induced the significantly better anti-tumor response (tumor scale: $2.7{\pm}0.3,\;0.7{\pm}0.3\;and\;0.3{\pm}0.2$ for saline, B-DC and C-DC treated group, respectively). Along with increased tumor specific lymphocyte proliferations, induction of IFN-${\gamma}$ secretion against both auto- and allo-tumor cell lysates was observed from the DC treated mice. (w/B16F10-lysate: $44.97{\pm}10.31,\;1787.94{\pm}131.18,\;1257.15{\pm}48.27$, w/CloneM3 lysate: 0, $1591.13{\pm}1.83,\;1460.47{\pm}86.05pg/ml$ for saline, B-DC and C-DC treated group, respectively) Natural killer cell activity was also increased in the mice treated with tumor cell lysate pulsed-DC ($8.9{\pm}_{[CGP2]}0.1,\;11.6{\pm}0.8\;and\;12.6{\pm}0.7%$ specific NK activity for saline, B-DC and C-DC treated group, respectively). Conclusion: Conclusively, promising data were obtained that allogeneic-tumor cell lysate can be used as a tumor antigen for DC-based cancer immunotherapy.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the melanogenesis inhibition effect of Saururus chinensis BAILL (SC) on in B16F10 melanoma cells. Methods : SC was fractionated ethanol extract by the hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. We confirmed the inhibitory effect of tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis of all fraction samples. Results : Hexane fraction of Saururus chinensis BAILL (HSC), ethyl acetate of SC (ESC), and butanol of SC (BSC) were discovered to inhibit tysoinase activity and melanogenesis in the absence or presence of ${\alpha}$-MSH. However, water fraction of SC (WSC) did not affect tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. In addition, all fractions did not inhibit the catalytic activity of cell-free tyrosinase from B16F10 melanoma cell lines. Conclusions : These results suggest that HSC, ESC and BSC reduce pigmentation by indirectly regulating tyrosinase.

Sphingolipid metabolites regulate many aspects of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In the present study, we have assessed the effects of the novel phytosphingosine derivative, N-acetylphytospingosine (NAPS), on the depigmentation of murine B16F10 melanoma cells, and have also attempted to identify the possible signaling pathway involved, in comparison with $C_{2}-ceramide$. NAPS and $C_{2}-ceramide$ both inhibited the growth of the B16F10 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Melanin content and tyrosinase activity were significantly reduced in response to treatment with NAPS and $C_{2}-ceramide$ at concentrations in a range between $1-5\;{\mu}M$. However, the levels of tyrosinase mRNA, as well as the levels of tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1) and tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2) genes and the level of tyrosinase protein remained unaffected by treatment with either NAPS or $C_{2}-ceramide$. We also attempted to determine the signaling pathway exploited by NAPS and $C_{2}-ceramide$. Interestingly, the phosphorylation of Akt/PKB at serine 473 by NAPS was reduced at the 5 minute mark, whereas $C_{2}-ceramide$ induced the phosphorylation of Akt/PKB at serine 473. Finally, Akt/PKB activity in the NAPS-treated cells was elevated in comparison with the untreated cells. LY294002, a specific PI3-K inhibitor which is located upstream of Akt/PKB, inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt/PKB, but induced an increase in melanin synthesis. These results suggest that the activation of Akt/PKB at serine 473 is related with the suppression of melanin production in the B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. Therefore, the mechanisms exploited by NAPS and $C_{2}-ceramide$ responsible for the depigmentation of B16F10 cells were concluded to involve the inhibition of melanosomal tyrosinase activity.

Royal jelly composes of many components, especially protein. Protein is a major factor which cause allergy. We focused on water soluble royal jelly (WSRJ) that was removed allergy - inducing protein. 10-hyroxy-2-decenoic acid content of WSRJ is 2.42 g/100 g, which is double compared to that of lypophilized RJ. To further access WSRJ as a cosmetic ingredient and potential external treatment for topical use, we investigated its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity and melanin biosynthesis on melanogenesis in B16F1 melanoma cells. We found that WSRJ increased the cell viability in B16F1 melanoma cell and WSRJ (1~10 mg/ml) inhibited melanin synthesis in with 10 nM ${\alpha}$-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH) for 48 h. WSRJ inhibited direct tyrosinase activity, which decreased melanin synthesis in ${\alpha}$-MSH stimulated B16F1 melanoma cells. Thease findings suggest that WSRJ induces the down regulation of melanogenesis by inhibiting tyrosinase activation.

파이토케미컬의 일종인 EGCG는 녹차의 카테킨 성분으로, 세포 내 신호 경로 조절을 통하여 항산화, 항암효과를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 hypoxia 상태인 B16F10 피부암 세포에서 HIF-$1{\alpha}$를 포함한 AMPK의 신호경로를 통하여 EGCG의 apoptosis 유도 효과를 규명하였다. AMPK는 hypoxia, 영양분 결핍, 운동, heat shock 등, 세포 내 ATP의 결핍에 의해서 활성화되며 암세포의 증식을 억제하고 apoptosis를 유도한다. 세포에서 중요한 에너지 센서로서 작용하는 AMPK가 hypoxia 상태의 암세포 내에서는 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 전사 활성을 유도하는데, HIF-$1{\alpha}$는 hypoxia 상태에서 산소 결핍에 반응하는 첫 번째 전사 조절인자로서 암세포의 생존을 위한 세포내 산소공급과 혈관신생형성을 조절한다. Hypoxia 상태가 아닌 B16F10 세포에서와 hypoxia 상태에서의 B16F10 세포에서 EGCG에 의한 apoptosis 효과를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, hypoxia 상태에서 EGCG는 더 강한 apoptosis를 유도하며, 혈관신생형성을 조절할 수 있는 HIF-$1{\alpha}$의 전사 활성을 억제시킨다. 이러한 관찰을 통해 EGCG가 hypoxia 상태의 피부암 세포에서 암의 성장과 신생혈관형성을 저해하는 것으로 보인다. 이와 같은 연구는 향후 식품에 첨가된 파이토케미컬을 이용하여 암을 예방하는 연구에서 있어서, 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구에서는 효소처리 한 대두추출물의 항산화 및 미백 효과를 확인하기 위하여 DPPH 및 hydroxyl radical 포착활성을 측정하였고, 멜라닌 생성의 첫 단계인 tyrosinase 활성, mouse melanoma B16BL6 세포 생존율 및 TRP-1, TRP-2 발현 저해활성을 측정하였다. 또한 기존의 기계적 마쇄 가공한 대두추출물과 효소처리 가공한 대두추출물의 항산화 및 미백효과를 비교 조사하였다. 효소처리 한 대두추출물의 DPPH radical 소거능과 hydroxyl radical 소거능이 마쇄처리 한 추출물보다 높았으며, 특히 효소처리군이 마쇄군에 비하여 20% 이상 높은 항산화력을 나타내었다. 또한 마쇄군에 비하여 효소처리군이 tyrosinase와 TRP-1, TRP-2의 더 높은 활성 억제능을 보였다. 이는 대두가 B16BL6 melanoma 세포의 tyrosinase 단백질의 활성을 저해시킴으로써 멜라닌 생성을 억제하는데 효과적임을 의미하는 동시에 효소처리에 의하여 대두의 영양소의 손실이 더 적었음을 나타낸다. 결론적으로 효소처리에 의한 대두 추출물은 항산화 활성과 미백 효과가 우수하여 기능성 화장품의 천연 소재로서 활용 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : The present study was designed to assess the potential inhibitory activity of an ethanol extract of Belamcandae Rhizoma (EBR) on the alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH)-induced melanogenesis signal pathway in B16F10 melanoma cells. Methods : Several experiments were performed in B16F10 melanoma cells. We studied tyrosinase activity, melanin content, cell-free tyrosinase activity and DOPA stain, and performed Western blots and RT-PCR for proteins and mRNA involved in melanogenesis. Results : ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced tyrosinase activity and melanin content were inhibited significantly by EBR. EBR markedly suppressed the protein expression level of tyrosinase in B16F10 melanoma cells. On the other hand, the expression of tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) and -2 (TRP-2; DCT) were not affected by EBR. To elucidate the mechanism of the depigmenting property of EBR, we examined the involvement EBR in cAMP response element binding (CREB) protein phosphorylation and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) signalling induced by ${\alpha}$-MSH. EBR did not regulate CREB phosphorylation and MITF expression by ${\alpha}$-MSH. Nevertheless, the mRNA expression of tyrosinase was significantly attenuated by EBR treatment without changes in the expression of TRP-1 and -2 mRNA. Conclusion : Our study suggested that EBR inhibits ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced melanogenesis by suppressing tyrosinase mRNA.
