  • Background: Therapeutic approaches using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against complement regulatory proteins (CRPs:i.e.,CD46,CD55 and CD59) have been reported for adjuvant cancer therapy. In this study, we generated a recombinant 1E8 single-chain anti-CD59 antibody (scFv-Fc) and tested anti-cancer effect.by using complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Methods: We isolated mRNA from 1E8 hybridoma cells and amplified the variable regions of the heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) genes using reversetranscriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Using a linker, the amplified sequences for the heavy and light chains were each connected to the sequence for a single polypeptide chain that was designed to be expressed. The VL and VH fragments were cloned into the pOptiVEC-TOPO vector that contained the human CH2-CH3 fragment. Then, 293T cells were transfected with the 1E8 single-chain Fv-Fc (scFv-Fc) constructs. CD59 expression was evaluated in the prostate cancer cell lines using flow cytometry. The enhancement of CDC effect by mouse 1E8 and 1E8 scFv-Fc were evaluated using a cytotoxicity assay. Results: The scFv-Fc constructs were expressed by the transfected 293T cells and secreted into the culture medium. The immunoreactivity of the secreted scFv-Fc construct was similar to that of the mouse 1E8 for CCRF-CEM cells. The molecular masses of 1E8 scFv-Fc were about 120 kDa and 55 kDa under reducing and non-reducing conditions, respectively. The DNA sequence of 1E8 scFv-Fc was obtained and presented. CD59 was highly expressed by the prostate cancer cell line. The recombinant 1E8 scFv-Fc mAb revealed significantly enhanced CDC effect similar with mouse 1E8 for prostate cancer cells. Conclusion: A 1E8 scFv-Fc construct for adjuvant cancer therapy was developed.

  • Background: Epidermal growth factor-like domain multiple 7 (EGFL7), a secreted protein specifically expressed by endothelial cells during embryogenesis, recently was identified as a critical gene in tumor metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was found to be closely related with tumor progression. Accordingly, it is important to investigate the migration and EMT change after knock-down of EGFL7 gene expression in human pancreatic cancer cells. Materials and Methods: EGFL7 expression was firstly testified in 4 pancreatic cancer cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and western blot, and the highest expression of EGFL7 was found in PANC-1 cell line. Then, PANC-1 cells transfected with small interference RNA (siRNA) of EGFL7 using plasmid vector were named si-PANC-1, while transfected with negative control plasmid vector were called NC-PANC-1. Transwell assay was used to analyze the migration of PANC-1 cells. Real-time PCR and western blotting were used to detect the expression change of EGFL7 gene, EMT markers like E-Cadherin, N-Cadherin, Vimentin, Fibronectin and transcription factors like snail, slug in PANC-1, NCPANC-1, and si-PANC-1 cells, respectively. Results: After successful plasmid transfection, EGFL7 gene were dramatically knock-down by RNA interference in si-PANC-1 group. Meanwhile, migration ability decreased significantly, compared with PANC-1 and NC-PANC-1 group. Meanwhile, the expression of epithelial phenotype marker E-Cadherin increased and that of mesenchymal phenotype markers N-Cadherin, Vimentin, Fibronectin dramatically decreased in si-PANC-1 group, indicating a reversion of EMT. Also, transcription factors snail and slug decreased significantly after RNA interference. Conclusions: Current study suggested that highly-expressed EGFL7 promotes migration of PANC-1 cells and acts through transcription factors snail and slug to induce EMT, and further study is needed to confirm this issue.

  • Enhancers have been conventionally perceived as cis-acting elements that provide binding sites for trans-acting factors. However, recent studies have shown that enhancers are transcribed and that these transcripts, called enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), have a regulatory function. Here, we identified putative eRNAs by profiling and determining the overlap between noncoding RNA expression loci and eRNA-associated histone marks such as H3K27ac and H3K4me1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. Of the 132 HCC-derived noncoding RNAs, 74 overlapped with the eRNA loci defined by the FANTOM consortium, and 65 were located in the proximal regions of genes differentially expressed between normal and tumor tissues in TCGA dataset. Interestingly, knockdown of two selected putative eRNAs, THUMPD3-AS1 and LINC01572, led to downregulation of their target mRNAs and to a reduction in the proliferation and migration of HCC cells. Additionally, the expression of these two noncoding RNAs and target mRNAs was elevated in tumor samples in the TCGA dataset, and high expression was associated with poor survival of patients. Collectively, our study suggests that noncoding RNAs such as THUMPD3-AS1 and LINC01572 (i.e., putative eRNAs) can promote the transcription of genes involved in cell proliferation and differentiation and that the dysregulation of these noncoding RNAs can cause cancers such as HCC.

  • Introduction : The sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy is a critical determinant of local control and potential cure in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC). The emergence of radioresistant tumor cells is an obstacle to cancer therapy. Most radioresistant cells have a higher proportion of cells in the Sphase of the cell cycle and a lower apoptotic fraction than radiosensitive cells. HSV replication is increased in cells that have higher S-phase fractions. NV1066 is an oncolytic herpes simplex virus type-1 mutant. We hypothesized that NV1066 replication and cytotoxicity are increased in radioresistant cells. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of NV1066 to treat radioresistant HNSCC. Methods : Radioresistant cells were selected by treating five HNSCC cell lines with repeated conventional fractionated doses of radiation(2Gy/day), using a Cs-137 irradiator, up to a cumulative dose of 70Gy. Clonogenic cell survival and S-phase fractions were compared between radioresistant and parental radiosensitive cells. The two cell populations were then treated with NV1066 to examine viral replication, by the viral plaque assay and viral cytotoxicity. Results : Fractionated irradiation resulted in the selection of radioresistant cells. Radioresistant cells had a higher S-phase fraction(42.9%) compared to parental cells(26.2%). NV1066 replication in radioresistant cells was 7.4 times higher than in parental cells(p<0.01). Treatment with NV1066 resulted in increased cytotoxicity of 24.5% in radioresistant cells compared to parental cells(p<0.05). Conclusion : NV1066 showed increased viral replication and cytotoxicity in radioresistant HNSCC cell lines. These findings suggest a potential clinical application for this oncolytic viral therapy as treatment for radioresistant head and neck cancers.

  • 본 연구는 참치의 석유 에텔 추출물로 부터 항암 효과가 있는 활성 성분을 분리 정제하고, 흰생쥐의 임파모 세포인 LI210 과 P388, 인체 장암세포인 HCT-48, HT-29 및 HRT-18를 대상으로 단계별로 얻어지는 성분의 항암 활성올 측정하고, 그 물질의 생체내에서의 작용 기전을 밝히기 위해 여러가지 면역학적 실험을 수행하였다. In vitro배양액에서의 인체 결장암세포인 H HCT-48에 대해, crude extract는 배양액 1ml강 $60\mu\textrm{g}$ 첨가시 증식이 2배로 억제되었으며(1 unit), 이를 column chromatography 수행하여 얻은 fraction D의 1 unit은 $2 22\mu\textrm{g}$이며, 다시 TLC를 하여 얻은 Spot I 의 1 unit은 $9\mu\textrm{g}$으로서 정제 했을때 277배 증가하였다. Spot I 은 GC/ M5에 의해 7가지 성분이 섞여있는 혼합물로서 이 중 4가지 생분은 $C_{14:0},\;C_{16:0},\;C_{17:1},\;및\;C_{18:0}$인 지방산으로 확인이 되었으며, 나머지 3가지는 지방 성분으로 분자식은 확인되지 않았다. 다른 인체 장암 세포인 HT-29과 HRT-18에 대한 crude extract의 1 unit은 $64\mu\textrm{g}\;및\;54\mu\textrm{g}$이었으며 frattion D의 1 unit에 해당하는 양은 두 세포 모두 약 $34\mu\textrm{g}$이었다. 또한, 생쥐의 백혈병 성 임파모 세포인 L1210과 P388의 경우 crude extract의 1 unit에 해당하는 양은 $2-2.5\mu\textrm{g}$이며, fraction D의 경우는 $1.2-1.4\mu\textrm{g}$으로서 참치 추출물의 세포 종식 억제력은 백혈병성 임파모세포에서 인체 장암세포보다 높았으며, 암세포의 종류에 따라 효과의 차이가 있었다. 참치 추출물(fraction D)을 첨가한 배양액에서 배양한 HCT-48 세포획 크기 분포도는 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 세포의 크기가 작아지며, 현미경 사진에서 보면 본래의 형태가 위축되거나, 세포의 주위가 흐트러지면서 사면 현상을 보였다. 참치 석유 에텔 추출물에는 DHA가 18.8%를 차지 하며 EPA는, 3.25% 포함되어 있었다. 대조군 생쥐에 비해 S-180을 접종한 후 참지 추출물을 투여한 생쥐에서 용혈반 형성 세포수와 혈청 단백질 중 immunoglobulin의 relative %가 현저히 증가되었다. 그러나 비장의 자연 살해 세포의 활성에는 변화를주지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 참치의 석유 에델 추출물중에 in vitro에서 인체 장암세포 및 백혈병성 임파모세포의 증식 억제 및 생체내에서 면역 증강 효과를 나타내는 성분이 존재함을 알 수 있다.

  • Background: GC-binding factor 2 (GCF2) is a transcriptional regulator that represses transcriptional activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by binding to a specific GC-rich sequence in the EGFR gene promoter. In addition to this function, GCF2 has also been identified as a tumor-associated antigen and regarded as a potentially valuable serum biomarker for early human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosis. GCF2 is high expressed in most HCC tissues and cell lines including HepG2. This study focused on the influence of GCF2 on cell proliferation and apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Materials and Methods: GCF2 expression at both mRNA and protein levels in HepG2 cells was detected with reverse transcription (RT) PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RNA interference (RNAi) technology was used to knock down GCF2 mRNA and protein expression. Afterwards, cell viability was analyzed with a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), and cell apoptosis and caspase 3 activity by flow cytometry and with a Caspase 3 Activity Kit, respectively. Results: Specific down-regulation of GCF2 expression caused cell growth inhibition, and increased apoptosis and caspase 3 activity in HepG2 cells. Conclusions: These primary results suggest that GCF2 may influence cell proliferation and apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and also provides a molecular basis for further investigation into the possible mechanism at proliferation and apoptosis in HCC.

  • Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of female death. Viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 are selectively retained and expressed in carcinoma cells infected with HPV (Human pa pilloma virus) type 16 and cooperated in immotalization and transformation of primary keratinocyte. E6 and E7 oncoproteins interfere the functions of tumor suppressor proteins p53 and retinoblasoma protein (pRb), respectively. Among a lots of natural products, Mentha arvensis Linne var.piperascens have inhibitory effects on bindings between E6 oncoprotein and tumor suppressor p53, E3 ubiqutin- protein ligase (E6AP). HPV oncoprotein inhibitors from Mentha piperita L. were isolated by solvent partition and column chromatography (Silica gel, RP-18) and inhibitory compounds were finally purified by HPLC using an ELISA screening system based on binding between E6 and E6AP. The aim of this study is to identify the structure of inhibitory compounds and to investigate whether these compounds have inhibitory effects on functions of E6 oncoprotein. We investigated whether caffeic acid methyl ester (CAM) extracted from Mentha piperita L. could inhibit the function of E6 oncoprotein. CAM inhibited the in vitro binding of E6 and E6AP which are essential for the binding and degradation of the tumor suppressor p53 and also inhibited the proliferation of human cervical cancer cell lines (SiHa and CaSKi) in a dose response manner. These results suggest that CAM inhibited the function of E6 oncoprotein, suggesting that it can be used as a potential drug for the treatment of cervical cancers infected with HPV.

  • Echinacea angustifolia의 부위별(꽃봉오리, 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리) 메탄을 추출물의 암세포(HepG2, 3LL, HL60, L1210)를 대상으로 한 항암 활성과 전자공여능을 검색한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 에키네시아 메탄을 추출물의 간암세포인 HepG2 cell 대한 MTT assay는 농도의존적으로 세포독성 효과가 증가하였으며, 인간유래 백혈암세포인 HL60 cell의 경우에 잎과 뿌리 추출물은 저농도에서부터 독성효과가 컸고, 줄기와 꽃봉오리는 저농도에서는 독성효과가 낮았으나 고농도로 갈수록 독성효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었다 폐암세포인 3LL cell과 마우스 유래 백혈암세포인 L1210 cell에 대한 경우는 세포독성효과가 없었다. 2. Hemacytometer에 의한 HepG2 cell의 암세포 성장에 미치는 효과는 배양기간이 증가함에 따라 농도의존적으로 증식억제 효과가 증가되었다. 3. HepG2 세포주의 형태학적 변화에서 대조군은 암세포가 조밀하게 중첩되어 증식되었으나 시료를 0.5 mg/mL 이상의 농도로 첨가하였을 때 세포의 결속력이 감소되어 세포주위가 흐트러지고 세포가 사멸된 것을 관찰 할 수가 있었다. 4. 전자공여능의 수준은 부위에 따라 최고의 EDA를 나타내는 농도가 달랐으며, 뿌리와 줄기부위는 저농도에서도 매우 높은 전자공여능을 나타내었다.

  • Cisplatin, a platinum-complex, is currently one of the most effective compounds used in the treat-ment of solid tumors. However, its use is limited by severe side effects such as renal toxicity. Our platinum-based drug discovery program is aimed at developing drugs capable of diminishing toxicity and improving selective cytotoxicity. We synthesized new Pt (II) complex analogue containing 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) as carrier ligand and 1,2-bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (DPPE) as a leaving group. Furthermore, nitrate was added to improve the solubility. A new series of [Pt(cia-DACH)(DPPE)] . $2NO_3$ (PC) was synthes-ized and characterized by their elemental analysis and by various spectroscopic techniques [infrared (IR), $_{13}$carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)] .PC demonstrated acceptable and significant antitumor activity against SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 human ovarian carcinoma cell lines as compared with that of cisplatin. The cytotoxicity of PC in normal cells was found quite less than that of cisplatin using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), ($^3$H)thymidine uptake and glucose consumption tests in rabbit renal proximal tubular cells, human renal cortical cells and tissues. In conclusion, PC is considered to be more selective cytotoxicity toward human ovarian cancer cells than normal human/rabbit kidney cells.
