입상 활성탄에 대한 Acid Red 66의 흡착 등온선과 동력학적, 열역학적 파라미터에 대해 염료의 초기농도, 접촉시간, 온도를 흡착변수로 하여 조사하였다. 흡착평형자료는 Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Redlich-Peterson 및 Temkin 등온흡착식에 적용하였다. Freundlich 등온흡착식이 가장 잘 맞았으며, 계산된 Freundlich 분리계수 값(1/n = 0.125 ~ 0.232)으로부터 입상 활성탄이 Acid Red 66을 효과적으로 처리할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Temkin의 흡착열관련상수(B_T = 2.147 ~ 2.562 J mol^-1)는 이 공정이 물리흡착임을 나타냈다. 동력학적 실험으로부터 흡착공정은 유사 이차 반응속도식에 잘 맞았다. 입자 내 확산식에 대한 결과는 경계층 확산을 나타내는 첫 번째 직선의 기울기보다 입자내 확산을 나타내는 두 번째 직선의 기울기가 작게 나타나서 입자 내 확산이 율속단계인 것을 확인하였다. 열역학 실험으로부터 활성화 에너지는 35.23 kJ mol^-1로 흡착공정이 물리흡착공임을 확인하였다. Gibbs 자유에너지 변화(ΔG = -0.548 ~ -7.802 kJ mol^-1)와 엔탈피 변화(ΔH = +109.112 kJ mol^-1)은 각각 흡착공정이 자발적 공정 및 흡열과정임을 나타내었다. 등량흡착열은 흡착된 염료분자들의 측면상호작용을 나타내는 표면부하량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 정상 세포인 간상피세포를 이용하여 BHT와 PG가 GJIC에 미치는 효과 및 그 작용 기전을 살펴보았다. BHT와 PG를 WB-F344세포에 각각 1.0mM, 0.75mM 이상 처리한 결과, 세포 생육이 80%이하로 저하되어 세포 독성을 보였고, BHT와 PG의 GJIC에 대한 억제효과는 이보다 낮은 농도인 0.6mM, 0.1mM에서 나타났으며 처리에 따른 Cx43 단백질의 발현 및 인산화를 측정한 결과, BHT와 PG 모두 농도의존적으로 Cx43의 인산화가 증가하였고, Cx43의 구조적 변화와 관련된 MAP kinase는 주요 biomarker인 ERK, p38, JNK의 발현 및 인산화를 측정한 결과, 농도의존적으로 ERK와 p38의 인산화가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 WB-F344세포에 BHT와 PG의 처리가 세포독성을 나타내기 전 농도에서 GJIC의 억제하였음을 의미하며 이는 식품첨가물의 안전성 평가에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was carried out to identify and quantify the flavonoids from 6 different plant parts of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum (AVP), including the flower, leaf, root, stem, flower stalk, and flower seed, using liquid chromatography/ mass spectrometry. Two major flavonoids were structurally identified as quercetin (3,5,7,3'4,'-pentahydroxyflavone) and kaempferol (3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxyflavone) at contents of 11.8-25.8 and $6.0-64.4\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In particular, the flower and root plant parts contained the highest amounts of quercetin and kaempferol compared to the other parts. We also assessed the recovery effects of each plant-part extract of AVP on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in WB-F344 cells by the scrape-loading and dye transfer (SL/DT) method. According to the results, GJIC was reduced by approximately 70.2% ($62.3{\pm}12.5$ cells) compared to the control ($209{\pm}9.5$ cells, 100%) when 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was treated alone in the WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells. However, the stem extract (0.2 mg/mL) restored GJIC to basal levels (92%, $204{\pm}2.3$ cells, p<0.01) and the flower extract (0.2 mg/mL) stimulated GJIC to 82.5% ($172.6{\pm}8.3$ cells, p<0.05), when applied together with the TPA.

A new serum-free defined medium was developed that supports the growth of normal rat mammary epithelial cells. Mammary organoids from the glands of female F344 rats were cultured in a serum-free medium. Monolayer culture colonies developed within a week and remained viable for months in culture. Upon subculture of one-week-old primary colonies, almost the same morphology of colonies was developed. The scrape loading/dye transfer technique showed that most of colonies that developed in a serum-free medium containing EGF, human transferrin, insulin, and hydrocortisone (basal serum-free medium, BSFM) failed to show cell-cell communication. However, colonies cultured in BSFM supplemented with prolactin, $E_2$, and progesterone (complete hormone serum-free medium, CHSFM) showed cell-cell communication at 14 days of primary culture or of subculture. By flow cytometry with FITCPNA and PE-anti-Thy-1.1 monoclonal antibody, we distinguished four RMEC subpopulations in cultures in both media: Thy-1.1+ cells, PNA+ cells, cells negative to both reagents and cells positive to both reagents. It is likely that combined prolactin, cortisol, and insulin in CHSFM stimulate terminal differentiation of clonogenic cells.

Recent studies indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can act as modulators of neuronal activity, and are critically involved in persistent pain primarily through spinal mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of NaOCl, a ROS donor, on neuronal excitability and the intracellular calcium concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) in spinal substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons. In current clamp conditions, the application of NaOCl caused a membrane depolarization, which was inhibited by pretreatment with phenyl-N-tert-buthylnitrone (PBN), a ROS scavenger. The NaOCl-induced depolarization was not blocked however by pretreatment with dithiothreitol, a sulfhydryl-reducing agent. Confocal scanning laser microscopy was used to confirm whether NaOCl increases the intracellular ROS level. ROS-induced fluorescence intensity was found to be increased during perfusion of NaOCl after the loading of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate ($H_2DCF$-DA). NaOCl-induced depolarization was not blocked by pretreatment with external $Ca^{2+}$ free solution or by the addition of nifedifine. However, when slices were pretreated with the $Ca^{2+}$ ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin, NaOCl failed to induce membrane depolarization. In a calcium imaging technique using the $Ca^{2+}$-sensitive fluorescence dye fura-2, the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was found to be increased by NaOCl. These results indicate that NaOCl activates the excitability of SG neurons via the modulation of the intracellular calcium concentration, and suggest that ROS induces nociception through a central sensitization.

The anticarcinogenic effects of epicatechin(EC) and ginsenoside Rb2(Rb2), which are major components of green tea and Korea ginsen, respectively, were investigated using a model system of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-accetate (TPA) and hydrogen preoxide, known as cancer promoters, inhibited GJIC in the epithelial cells as determined by the scrape loading/dye transfer assay, fluorescence redistribution assay after photobleaching, and immunofluorescent staining of connexin 43 using a laser confocal microscope. The inhibition of GJIC by TPA and H2O2 was prevented with treatment of Rb2 or Ec. The effect of EC on GJIC was stronger in TPA-treated cells than in H2O2-treated cells, while the effect of Rb2 was opoosite to that of EC. EC, at the concentration of 27.8$\mu$g/ml, prevented the TPA-induced GJIC inhibition by about 60%. Rb2, at the concentration of 277$\mu$g/ml, recovered the H2O2-induced GJIC inhibition by about 60%. These results suggest that Rb2 and EC may prevent human cancers by preventing the down-regulation of GJIC during the cancer promotion phase and that the anticancer effect of green tea and Korea ginseng may come from the major respective conponents, EC and Rb2.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resveratrol on the oxidative stress-induced inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in HaCaT keratinocyte. Anti-oxidative activity of resveratrol was measured by a,a-diphenyl-b-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate oxidation assay. GJIC of HaCaT keratinocyte was assessed using the scrape loading/dye transfer technique. Western blots and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction were also analyzed for Connexin 43 protein and mRNA expression, respectively. Resveratrol scavenged directly the stable DPPH radical over a concentration range of 4 mg/$\mell$ (78.2 $\pm$ 2.7% of control) to 500 mg/$\mell$ (29.9 $\pm$ 4.2% of control) and prevent to increase the intracellular fluorescence induced by oxidative stress significantly. Ultraviolet A irradiation (UVA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate markedly reduced GJIC, which was restored by resveratrol. There were no significant differences in the level of Connexin 43 protein and mRNA expression among any of the experimental groups. Our data suggests that resveratrol has the protective effect on the oxidative stress-induced inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication in HaCaT keratinocyte and this protection is likely due to the scavenging of reactive oxygen species.

활성탄을 사용하여 수용액으로부터 crystal violet 염료의 흡착에 대해 조사하였으며, 흡착제의 양, 초기농도와 접촉시간 및 온도를 흡착변수로 사용하여 수행하였다. 흡착평형관계는 Langmuir 등온식에 잘 맞았다. 평가된 Langmuir 분리 계수($R_L=0.02{\sim}0.106$)를 바탕으로 이 흡착공정이 효과적인 처리(0 < $R_L$ < 1)가 가능하다는 것을 알았다. 흡착동력학 데이터는 유사 2차 반응속도식에 잘 맞는 것으로 나타났다. Gibbs 자유에너지(-1.61~-11.66 kJ/mol)와 엔탈피(147.209 kJ/mol)는 흡착공정이 자발적이고 흡열반응으로 진행된다는 것을 나타냈다. 등량흡착열은 표면덮임이 증가됨에 따라 흡착제-흡착질의 상호작용이 제한되어 표면부하량이 증가할수록 작아졌다.

This study analyzed phytochemicals, including various carotenoids, tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid, in green, yellow and orange paprikas (GP, YP and OP) and measured the preventive effects of lipophilic extracts from different colored paprikas on the blockage of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), which is known as a cellular event associated with tumor promotion. Main carotenoids were lutein and ${\beta}$-carotene in GP, lutein, ${\beta}$-carotene, capsanthin, violaxanthin, ${\beta}$-carotene and capsorubin in YP, and lutein, ${\beta}$-carotene, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin in OP. Total carotenoid contents were $65.54{\pm}15.87$ mg/100 g dw in OP, $11.98{\pm}0.69$ mg/100 g dw in YP and $10.30{\pm}1.43$ mg/100 g dw in GP. Tocopherol contents were highest in GP compared with in YP and OP, whereas L-ascorbic acid contents were very high in all paprikas. We determined the non-cytotoxic levels of paprika extracts by MTT assay, which showed less formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by $500{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$ for 1h. Finally, we showed that pretreatment of paprika extracts prevented inhibition of GJIC induced by $500{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$ by the scrape-loading/dye-transfer technique. In conclusion, each colored paprika has unique phytochemicals and showed a protective effect on inhibition of GJIC.
