목적: 만성 골수성 백혈병 세포인 K562 세포주는 방사선 및 다양한 항암제에 대한 apoptosis에 저항성을 가진다. 지난 연구에서 K562 세포는 방사선에 대하여 내성반응을 보이며, 세포내 PTK의 작용을 억제하고자 방사선 조사와 함께 투여한 herbimycin A (HMA)에 의하여 방사선에 대한 apoptosis와 같은 감수성반응이 유도되는 반면, genistein에 의하여 방사선에 대한 apoptosis 반응이 저해됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 타이로신 인산화효소 억제에 의한 K562 세포의 방사선 반응변화를 조절하는 신호전달경로를 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법: K562 세포를 지수증식기의 세포들만 선택하여 실험에 이용하였다. 방사선조사는 6 MeV 선형가속기(Clinac 1800C, Varian)를 이 용하여 $200\~300$ cGy/min 선량률로 $0.5\~12 $ Gy를 균일하게 조사하였다. HMA와 genistein은 각각 $0.25/muM,\;25\muM$을 방사선 조사 후 즉시 투여하였다. 실험에서 신호전달 경로로 abl kinase, MAPK family, NF-kB, c-fos, c-myc, thymidine kinase1 (TK1) 등에서의 단백질 또는 유전자 발현 및 활성을 조사하였다. 또한 약제 투여에 따른 유전자 발현차이(differential gene expression)를 조사하였다. 결과: Abl kinase의 발현 및 활성 변화를 조사하였으나 PTK 저해제에 의한 방사선 유도 세포사의 변화와의 연관성을 찾을 수 없었다. 세포 생존 및 사멸의 신호전달체계에서 주요 조절과정인 MAPK family의 관여 여부 확인에서 방사선으로 인한 SAPK/JNK의 활성화의 유도가 관찰되었으나, PTK 저해제에 따른 변화는 없었으며, 또한 MAPK/ERK와 p38 MAPK 활성은 모든 조건에서 변함 없이 일정하였다. 전사인자 활성화에 대한 조사에서 방사선 조사와 함께 genistein을 투여한 경우에 NF-kB활성이 증가하였다. 유전자 발현 차이의 조사에서 genistein 투여에 의한 TK 1 유전자 발현 및 단백질 활성이 증가하였다. 결론: PTK 억제에 의한 K562 세포의 방사선에 대한 반응 변화는 bcrabl kinase 활성과는 무관하게 진행되며, MAPK family 경로 외의 다른 경로를 통한 전사인자 활성화 과정이 연관되어 있음을 확인하였다.

Inhibitor K562 (IK) protein was first isolated from the culture medium of K562 cells, a leukemia cell line, and is an inhibitory regulator of interferon-γ-induced major histocompatibility complex class II expression. Recently, exogenous truncated IK (tIK) protein showed potential as a therapeutic agent for inflammation-related diseases. In this study, we designed a novel putative anti-inflammatory peptide derived from tIK protein based on homology modeling of the human interleukin-10 (hIL-10) structure, and investigated whether the peptide exerted inhibitory effects against pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The peptide contains key residues involved in binding hIL-10 to the IL-10 receptor, and exerted strong inhibitory effects on IL-17 (43.8%) and TNF-α (50.7%). In addition, we used circular dichroism spectroscopy to confirm that the peptide is usually present in a random coil configuration in aqueous solution. In terms of toxicity, the peptide was found to be biologically safe. The mechanisms by which the short peptide derived from human tIK protein exerts inhibitory effects against IL-17 and TNF-α should be explored further. We also evaluated the feasibility of using this novel peptide in skincare products.

To develop hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies to be used as unlimited sources of reagents indispensable for the diagnosis and treatement of leukemic malignancy, a monoclonal antibody was generated to human pre-T leukemia cells (Jurkat). Hybridomas were produced against Jurkat cell line by fusing spleen cells from hyperimmunized mice with murine plasmacytoma cells (P3$\times$63Ag8. V653). One monoclonal antibody derived from this fusion, designated DMJ-2 was reactive with T-cell lines (Jurkat, Molt-4 and RPMI-8402) and normal peripheral E-rosette forming T cells, but unreactive with B-cell lines (Daudi, Nalm-6) and non-T, non-B cell line (K562). Conclusively DMJ-2 reactive with mature and immature T-lineage lymphoid cells.

In this study, we investigated gene expression patterns induced by Ailanthus altissima extract and compared it with Gleevec, a well-known anti-leukemia drug, in K562 chromic leukemia cells. Ailanthus altissima extract(100 ug/ml) and Gleevec(50 ug/ml) were treated to cells for 1h, 2h, 4h, and 16h and total RNA was extracted. Gene expressions were evaluated using cDMA microarray, in which 24,000 genes were spotted. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that expression of genes included in two clusters were increased or decreased time dependently by both Ailanthus altissima extract and Gleevec. Genes included in another cluster were induced by Ailanthus altissima extract but not by Gleevec. In biological process analysis, expression of genes involved in apoptosis, growth arrest and DNA-damage were increased, but genes stimulating cell cycle were decreased. This study provides comprehensive comparison of the patterns of gene expression changes induced by Ailanthus altissima extract and Gleevec in K-562 leukemia cells.

Human Hertwig's epithelial root sheath/epithelial rests of Malassez (HERS/ERM) cells are epithelial remnants of teeth residing in the periodontium. Although the functional roles of HERS/ERM cells have yet to be elucidated, they are a unique epithelial cell population in adult teeth and are reported to have stem cell characteristics. Therefore, HERS/ERM cells might play a role as an epithelial component for the repair or regeneration of dental hard tissues; however, they are very rare population in periodontium and the primary isolation of them is considered to be difficult. To overcome these problems, we immortalized primary HERS/ERM cells isolated from human periodontium using SV40 large T antigen (SV40 LT) and performed a characterization of the immortalized cell line. Primary HERS/ERM cells could not be maintained for more than 6 passages; however, immortalized HERS/ERM cells were maintained for more than 20 passages. There were no differences in the morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of HERS/ERM cells and immortalized HERS/ERM cells. The expression of epithelial stem cell and embryonic stem cell markers was maintained in immortalized HERS/ERM cells. Moreover, immortalized HERS/ERM cells could acquire mesenchymal phenotypes through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition via TGF-${\beta}1$. In conclusion, we established an immortalized human HERS/ERM cell line with SV40 LT and expect this cell line to contribute to the understanding of the functional roles of HERS/ERM cells and the tissue engineering of teeth.
