Cockroaches live in places where various pathogens exist and thus are more likely to use antimicrobial compounds to defend against pathogen intrusions. We previously performed an in silico analysis of the Periplaneta americana transcriptome and detected periplanetasin-5 using an in silico antimicrobial peptide prediction method. In this study, we investigated whether periplanetasin-5 has anticancer activity against the human leukemia cell line K562. Cell growth and survival of K562 cells treated with periplanetasin-5 were decreased in a dose-dependent manner. By using flow cytometric analysis, acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining and DNA fragmentation, we found that periplanetasin-5 induced apoptotic and necrotic cell death in leukemia cells. In addition, these events were associated with increased levels of the pro-apoptotic proteins Fas and cytochrome c and reduced levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Periplanetasin-5 induces the cleavage of pro-caspase-9, pro-caspase-8, pro-caspase-3, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The above data suggest that periplanetasin-5 induces apoptosis via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Moreover, caspase-related apoptosis was further confirmed by using the caspase inhibitor carbobenzoxy-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-[O-methyl]-fluoromethylketone (Z-VAD-FMK), which reversed the periplanetasin-5-induced reduction in cell viability. In conclusion, periplanetasin-5 caused apoptosis in leukemia cells, suggesting its potential utility as an anticancer therapeutic agent.

Objective : The purpose of the study was to identify expression profiling of miRNAs associated with cancers after treating allergen-removed Rhus Verniciflua Stokes and allergen-removed Rhus Verniciflua Stokes fumigaed Angelica gigas on leukemia cell lines. Methods : miRNA expression has been analyzed using miRNA array method through denaturation and hybridization after isolating the total RNA from leukemic cell line treated with 100 ㎍/㎖ of aRVS and aRVS-A each. Microarray expressions were interpreted as 'significant' on miRNAs when decreased less than 0.5 fold or increased more than 1.5 fold compared with the control group. Results : Among 158 miRNAs in total, 32 miRNAs were significantly presented in miRNAs expression. miRNA has been activated with a variety of genes for predicted targets, and the overexpressed miRNAs were categorized according to proliferation and metastasis of cancer in this study. The findings were reported that seven miRNAs (let-7b, miR-193a-5p, 296-3p, 26a, 22, 124a, 92b) showed significant expressions on proliferation and growth, seven miRNAs (miR-193a-5p, 26a, 200c, 183, 124a, 198, 210) presented meaningful expressions on invasion and metastasis, two miRNAs (let-7b, miR-210) were highly expressed on angiogenesis, five miRNAs (let-7b, miR-26a, 181d, 181c, 296-5p) related with apoptosis, and six miRNAs (let-7b, miR-200c, 183, 370, 124a, 191) were associated with prognosis of cancer and early diagnostic factors for cancer. Conclusion : The mechanism of miRNA takes a role in diagnosis, treatment, and prognotic factors for cancer as well. This study suggested that further detailed research on overexpression of specific miRNA should be carried out continuously in the future.

Prior to a clinical trial, the in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of a new recombinant human interferon ${\alpha}-2a$ (rHu/IFN ${\alpha}-2a$) with/without hydroxyurea (HU) were investigated using chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)-derived cell lines (K562 and KU812F) and BALB/c nude. mice transplanted with KU812F cells. The rHu/IFN ${\alpha}-2a$ ($10^4-10^6IU/ml$) strongly inhibited proliferation of both cell lines and the combined treatments with HU ($10{\mu}g/ml$) were more effective. In nude mice transplanted with KU812F cells. rHu/IFN ${\alpha}-2a(1{\times}10^6IU$) inhibited tumor growth by 42-65% at 15-21 days post-transplantation (DPT). The combined treatment of rHu/IFN ${\alpha}-2a (5{\times}10^5IU$) with HU (0.25mg/g b.w.) inhibited the tumor growth by 48-67% at 12-21 DPT. In addition, the treatment of rHu/IFN ${\alpha}-2a$ ($5{\times}10^6IU\;or\;1{\times}10^7IU$) rejected tumor transplantation by 40%. These results suggest that the new rHU/IFN ${\alpha}-2a$ alone or with HU is effective on CML cell lines.

Ten coumarins were isolated from the root of Angelica dahurica by repeated silica gel column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basic of physicochemical and spectroscopic data. Among them, oxypeucedanin hydrate acetonide (7) was isolated for the first time from this plant. Cytotoxicity of coumarins isolated were determined in vitro against L1210, HL-60, K562, and B16F10 tumor cell lines by MTT method. Pangelin (5) and oxypeucedanin hydrate acetonide (7) showed a potent cytotoxic activity with the $IC_{50}$ values of 8.6 to 14.6 ${\mu}g$ /mL against four kinds of tumor cell lines. Other compounds showed the moderate cytotoxic activity or no activity against the tumor cell lines.

The calyx extract of Campsis grandiflora displayed inhibitory activity against protein kinase C from the bovine brain. Separation guided by protein kinase C enzyme assay and bleb forming assay led to isolation of a potent protein kinase C inhibitor that was identified as a known phenylpropanoid glycoside, verbascoside. It suppressed completely bleb-formation of K562 cell surface induced by phorbol 12,13-dibutylate at the concentration of 60 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and IC$_{50}$ of the protein kinase C occured at 20 $\mu{M}$. This compound was tested for cytotoxic activity against ten human tumor cell lines in vitro. it exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against skin tumor cell line M14 (IC$_{50}$ 2.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and very weak cytotoxicity against other cell lines (IC$_{50}$>10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)

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.

항암 요법의 실패의 주요 원인으로 암세포의 항암제에 대한 내성 획득이 잘 알려져 있다. 비스테로이드소염제(NSAID)는 항염증작용뿐만 아니라 항암제와의 병용요법으로 임상적인 암 치료 요법에 응용되고있다. 본 연구에서는 NSAIDs 인 celecoxib 및 이의 구조 유사체인 2,5-dimethyl celecoxib 그리고 ibuprofen의 인간 암세포에 대한 imatinib 및 TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) 세포 독성 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. NSAID는 TRAIL 및 imatinib에 각각 약제 내성을 나타내는 간암 세포와 백혈병 세포에서 이들 약물의 세포독성을 증강시키는 활성을 나타내었다. NSAID는 ATF4/CHOP의 발현 증강으로 소포체 스트레스 및 오토파지(Autophagy, 자가포식)를 유도하였다. 이로 인한 DR5 발현 증강과 함께 c-FLIP 발현 억제로 TRAIL의 세포독성을 증강시키는 기전을 나타내었다. NSAID로 유도되는 오토파지 활성은 imatinib-resistant CD44^highK562 백혈병세포의 imatinib 감수성을 증강시켰으며, NSAID는 이 세포에서 높은 발현을 나타내는 다양한 stemness-related marker 단백질의 발현 감소를 촉진시키는 활성으로 세포사멸을 유도하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 NSAID의 오토파지 유도 활성이 TRAIL과 imatinib의 세포 독성을 증강시키는 것으로서, NSAID와 이들 약물과 병용 처리방법은 인간 암세포의 TRAIL 및 imatinib 내성을 극복 시킴과 동시에 암세포에 이들 약물의 독성 부작용을 감소시킬 수 있는 낮은 농도의 처리를 가능하게 할 것으로 사료된다.
