1 The present work was performed to investigate the effects of ginsenoside Rh2 on proliferation, cell cycle-regulation and differentiation of human leukemia HL-60 cells as well as the underlying mechanisms for these effects. 2 Ginsenoside Rh2 potently inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells in both a dose- and time-dependent manner with an $IC_{50}$, $20{\mu}M$. 3 DNA flow-cytometry indicated that ginsenoside Rh2 markedly induced a $G_1$ phase arrest of HL-60 cells. 4 Among the $G_1$ phase cell cycle-related proteins, the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase(CDK)4, 6 and cyclin D1, cyclin D2, cyclin D3 were reduced by ginsenoside Rh2, whereas the steadystate levels of CDK2 and cyclin E were unaffected. 5 The protein levels of a CDK inhibitor p16, $p21^{CIP1/WAF1}$ and $p27^{KIP1}$ were markedly increased by ginsenoside Rh2. 6 Ginsenoside Rh2 markedly enhanced the binding of $p21^{CIP1/WAF1}$ and $p27^{KIP1}$ with CDK2 and CDK6, resulting in the reduced activity of both kinases and the hypophosphorylation of Rb protein. 7 We furthermore suggest that ginsenoside Rh2 is a potent inducer of the differentiation of HL-60 cells, based on observations such as a reduction of the nitroblue tetrazolium level, an increase in the esterase activities and phagocytic activity, morphology changes, and the expression of CD11b, CD14, CD64 and CD66b surface antigens. 8 In conclusion, the onset of ginsenoside Rh2-induced the $G_0/G_1$ arrest of HL-60 cells prior to the differentiation is linked to a sharp up-regulation of the $p21^{CIP1/WAF1}$ level and a decrease in the CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 activities. This is the first report demonstrating that ginsenoside Rh2 potently inhibits the proliferation of human promyelocytic HL-60 cells via the $G_1$ phase cell cycle arrest and differentiation induction.

Retinoic acid (RA) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) induce the differentiation of the multipotent embryonic carcinoma cell line, F9 cells, into parietal endoderm like cell. The F9 cells are highly proliferative doubling approximately 12 hourse. S Phase is predominant, lasting 10 hours and G2/M phase occupies most of the remaining cycle (2 hours) and G1 phase is nearly non-existent. In this study, we showed the effect of RA and dbcAMPon the cell cycle associated molecules (especially around G1 phase) during F9 cell differentiation. Differentiation of F9 cells was induced by the combined addition of RA ($10^{-7}M$) and dbcAMP (0.5mM), and cells were harvested daily up to 4 days. Flow cytometric analysis showed the prolongation of G1 phase around 30 hours after induction. Western blot analysis revealed that the amount of cyclin D1 and cdk2 were increased at day 4. However, histone H1 kinase activity of cdk2 was decreased. These data strongly suggest that RA and dbcAMP induce the growth arrest of F9 cells at G1 phase by decreasing the activity of cdk2, although they have increased the protein contents of cyclin D1 and cdk2. The reason for the discrepancy between the H1 kinase activity and protein contents are not clear yet.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate the cell division cycle, apoptosis, transcription and differentiation. Inhibition of CDK is a promising target in development of anti-cancer agents. An indirubin analog (AGM01l), a CDK inhibitor, is a synthetic compound that inhibits human cancer cell growth in vitro. AGM01l showed a potent cytotoxicity in cultured human cancer cell lines (IC$\sub$50/ = 5.43 ${\mu}$M for A549, human colon cancer cell; IC$\sub$50/ = 1.21 ${\mu}$M for SNU-638, human stomach cancer cell; IC$\sub$50/ 9.23 ${\mu}$M for HL-60, human leukemia cell).

인체 신경아세포종의 성장에 미치는 cAMP의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Ewing's sarcoma 세포주인 CHP-100 세포에 dibutyry1-cAMP 및 8-bromo-cAMP를 처리하였다. 두 종류의 cAMP analog처리 시간 증가에 따라 CHP-100 세포의 증식이 처리 시간 의존적으로 억제되었으며, 이는 핵의 형태변화 및 DNA 단편화 현상을 수반한 apoptosis 유발과 연관성이 있었다. 또한 DNA flow cytometry 분석결과 cAMP는 세포주기 G1기 특이적 arrest를 유발하였다. cAMP 처리에 의하여 retinoblastoma 단백질(pRB)의 인산화가 억제되었으며, 전사조절인자 E2F-1과의 결합이 증대되었다. cAMP는 cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 2 및 cyclin E 단백질의 발현변화에는 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 그들의 kinase 활성은 처리시간 의존적으로 매우 감소되었다. 또한 cAMP 처리에 의하여 Cdk inhibitor인 $p21^{WAF1/CIP1$의 발현이 증가되었으며, 증가된 p21 단백질은 Cdk2와 강한 결합을 형성하고 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 cAMP의 암세포 성장억제 효과에 pRB 및 p21이 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 현재 철기 유물의 복원에 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 5종의 상용 에폭시 수지(Araldite rapid, Araldite AW 106, Araldite SV 427, Devcon, CDK)를 선택하여 온도, 자외선, 그리고 철기 유물의 부식인자 중 하나인 수분에 대한 내후성을 조사하였다. 각각의 에폭시 수지는 온도 상승에 따라 일정하게 부피가 변화되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 특히 $40^{\circ}C$와 $70^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 급격한 변형이 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. UV에 노출시켰던 에폭시 수지는 모두 표면의 색상이 큰 폭으로 변화되었다. 실내조건의 경우는 모든 시험편의 색차(${\Delta}E$)가 2미만으로 색상의 변화가 약하였다. 에폭시 수지 시료 표면의 수분에 대한 평형 접촉각은 Araldite rapid>AW 106>Devcon>SV 427>CDK의 순서로 나타났다. 에폭시 수지를 UV에 노출시킨 경우 평형접촉각은 전반적으로 모두 감소하였으나, SV 427이 가장 안정적인 것으로 나타났다.

옥수수 (Zea mays L.) 꽃은 암술 세포사멸과 수술 세포 성장정지 등을 통하여 양성상태에서 단성 상태로 성결정 과정을 완성한다. 본 논문에서는 옥수수 성 결정 동안 세포주기 유전자들의 시간적, 공간적 발현조절을 조사하였다. 세포주기의 양성조절 인자 즉 cyclin A, cyclin B, cyclin dependent kinase A (CDK A), Mad2 유전자들은 성장하는 암술과 수술에서 높게 발현되는 반면 죽어가는 암술과 성장이 정지되는 수술에서는 이들의 발현이 사라졌다. 이와 반대로, Wee1과 CDK inhibitor (CKI) 같은 세포주기 음성 조절유전자들은 야생형 암꽃과 tasselseed2 돌연변이 수꽃의 성장이 정지하고 있는 수술에서 발현이 증가되었지만, 흥미롭게도, 이들 유전자들은 죽어가는 암술세포에서는 발현되지 않았다. 이들 결과들을 통하여 옥수수 성 결정 과정 중에서 암술 세포사멸과 수술세포 성장정지는 세포주기조절과 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 특히 성장이 정지하는 수술과 죽어가는 암술에서의 음성 세포주기 조절 유전자들의 다른 발현양상은 이 둘의 성 결정 메커니즘이 구별 될 것이라고 사료된다.

Background: Ginseng is known to have antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. The present study investigated a possible role of Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) in suppressing dopaminergic neuronal cell death and the cleavage of p35 to p25 in the substantia nigra (SN) and striatum (ST) using a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease mouse model. Methods: Ten-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with 30 mg/kg of MPTP at 24-h intervals for 5 d, and then administered KRG (1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, or 100 mg/kg) once a day for 12 consecutive days from the first injection. Pole tests were performed to assess the motor function of the mice, dopaminergic neuronal survival in the SN and ST was evaluated using tyrosine hydroxylase-immunohistochemistry, and the expressions of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), p35, and p25 in the SN and ST were measured using Western blotting. Results: MPTP administration caused behavioral impairment, dopaminergic neuronal death, increased Cdk5 and p25 expression, and decreased p35 expression in the nigrostriatal system of mice, whereas KRG dose-dependently alleviated these MPTP-induced changes. Conclusion: These results indicate that KRG can inhibit MPTP-induced dopaminergic neuronal death and suppress the cleavage of p35 to p25 in the SN and the ST, suggesting a possible role for KRG in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Resveratrol은 포도와 같은 식물에서 각종 감염균으로부터 자신의 몸을 보호하기 위하여 생성되는 물질인 phytoalexin의 일종으로 강력한 항산화작용, 암예방 효과 및 항암 작용을 포함한 각종 약리작용을 가진 것으로 보고되어져 오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 resveratrol의 항암작용 기전해석을 위하여 A549 인체폐암세포의 종식에 미치는 resverakol의 영향을 조사하였다. A549 세포의 생존율은 resveratrol의 처리시간 증가에 따라 강력하게 억제되었으며, 이는 암세포의 다양한 형태변형을 동반한 세포주기 C2/M arrest 및 염색질 응축 현상을 동반한 apoptosis 유발에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. Resveratrol 처리에 의한 apoptosis 유발은 Bcl-2의 발현변화 없이 Bcl-$X_L$의 발현 감소에 따른 상대적인 Bax의 발현 증가와 Sp-1, PCNA 및 $\beta$-catenin 등과 같은 단백질의 분해 현상과 연관성이 있었다 또한 resveratrol에 의한 A549세포 의 증식억제는 Cdk inhibitor p21의 발현 증가에 따른 Cdks 의 kinase 활성 저하 및 COX-2의 선택적 저해에 따른 PGE2 생성 저하와 관련이 있었다.

Cellular effects of ethanol in YD-15 tongue carcinoma cells were assessed by MTT assay, caspase activity assay, Western blotting and flow cytometry. Ethanol inhibited the growth and proliferation of YD-15 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner in an MTT assay. The effects of ethanol on cell cycle control at low percent range of ethanol concentration (0 to 1.5%), the condition not inducing YD-15 cell death, was investigated after exposing cells to alcohol for a certain period of time. Western blotting on the expression of cell cycle inhibitors showed that p21 and p27 was up-regulated as ethanol concentration increases from 0 to 1.5% whilst the cell cycle regulators, cdk1, cdk2, and cdk4 as well as Cyclin A, Cyclin B1 and Cyclin E1, were gradually down-regulated. Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle distribution revealed that YD-15 cells exposed to 1.5% ethanol for 24 h was mainly arrested at G2/M phase. However, ethanol induced apoptosis in YD-15 cells exposed to 2.5% or higher percent of ethanol. The cleaved PARP, a marker of caspase-3 mediated apoptosis, and the activation of caspase-3 and -7 were detected by caspase activity assay or Western blotting. Our results suggest that ethanol elicits inhibitory effect on the growth and proliferation of YD-15 tongue carcinoma cells by mediating cell cycle arrest at G2/M at low concentration range and ultimately induces apoptosis under the condition of high concentration.
