The fruits of Foeniculum vulgare (Foeniculi Fructus) have been widely used in Chinese medicine as an antiemetic, ameliorating stomach ailments and as an analgesic. In order to establish its potential for antiallergic use, inhibitory actions of the fruit on 5-lipoxgenase (5-LOX) and ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release were evaluated. The 70% ethanol extract of this plant material (FR) considerably inhibited 5-LOX-catalyzed leukotriene production from A23187-induced rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-1 cells. The $IC_{50}$ was $3.2{\mu}g/ml$. From this extract, 12 major compounds including sabinene, fenchone, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, ${\alpha}$-pinene, limonene, p-anisylacetone, panisylaldehyde, estragole (4-allylanisole), trans-anethole, scopoletin, bergapten and umbelliferone were isolated. And it was found that several terpene derivatives including ${\gamma}$-terpinene and fenchone as well as phenylpropanoid, trans-anethole, showed considerable inhibitory action of 5-LOX. In particular, the $IC_{50}$ of trans-anethole was $51.6{\mu}M$. In contrast, FR and the isolated compounds did not show considerable inhibitory activity on the degranulation reaction of ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release from antigen-treated RBL-2H3 cells. Against arachidonic acid-induced ear edema in mice, FR and trans-anethole showed significant inhibition by oral administration at doses of 100-400 mg/kg. In conclusion, FR and several major constituents are 5-LOX inhibitors and they may have potential for treating 5-LOX-related disorders.

Alveolar macrophages play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of silicosis since the macrophages may release a wide variety of toxic and inflammatory mediators as well as mitogenic growth factors. In the present study, the effects of in vitro exposure to silica on release of various mediator such as reactive oxygen species, platelet activating factor(PAF), and interleukin-1 (IL-1) by alveolar macrophages were examined. First, hydrogen peroxide release from alveolar macrophages was monitored by measuring the change in fluorescence of scopoletin in the absence or presence of graded concentration of silica. Significantly enhanced release of hydrogen peroxide was observed at 0.5 mg/ml and above. A maximal enhancement of 10 fold above control was observed at 5 mg/ml silica. Similarly, in vitro exposure to silica also significantly stimulated the generation of chemiluminescence from alveolar macrophages at 0.5 mg/ml and above with n maximal enhancement of 8 fold at 5 mg/ml silica. Second, PAF release from alveolar macrophages after 30 min incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ in absence or presence of zymosan and silica was determined by measuring $^{3}H-serotonin$ release ability of the conditioned macrophage supernates from platelets. 5 mg/ml zymosan as a positive control fur the PAF assay increased PAF release by 19 % of total serotonin release. Furthermore, silica also resulted in significant enhancement of the PAF release compared with that in unstimulated (control) cells, i.e., $17.7{\pm}5.8%$ and $24.0{\pm}4.9%$ of total serotonin release at 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml silica, respectively, which represents the release of nanomole levels of PAF. Lastly, IL-1 production by alveolar macrophages was analysed following their stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and silica by their capacity to stimulate thymocyte proliferation. $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ LPS resulted in an 11 fold increase in IL-1 production. In comparison, $50\;{\mu}g/ml$ silica resulted in a 4 fold increase in IL-1 release. These data indicate that in vitro exposure of alveolar macrophages to silica activates the release of various bioactive mediators such as reactive oxygen species, PAF and IL-1 which thus contribute to amplification of inflammatory reactions and regulation of fibrotic responses by the lung after inhalation of silica.

Two coumarinolignans, cleomiscosins C (1) and D (2) were isolated from the heartwood of Acer mono, together with four compounds, 5-O-methyl-(E)-resveratrol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3), 5-O-methyl-(E)-resveratrol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-apiofuranosyl-(1$\rightarrow$6)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4), scopoletin (5), and (E)-resveratrol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6). Of them, cleomiscosins C (1) and D (2) were applied to preparing inclusion complex molecules with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD) to improve the very poor solubility in cell media. The CD complexes of 1 and 2 exhibited an enhancement of water solubility which is feasible to measure their cytotoxicity using a spectrophotometer in a cell-based assay. Anti-proliferative activity of these complex molecules was successfully estimated on HCT116 human colon cancer cells, and cleomiscosin D (2) showed anti-proliferative effects at the concentration of 1.95~31.2 ${{\mu}g}$/mL in a dose-dependent manner.

Activity-guided fractionation of the EtOAc-soluble extract of the whole plants of Sida acuta using a bioassay based on the induction of quinone reductase (OR) in cultured Hepa 1c1c7 mouse hepatoma cells, led to the isolation of ten active compounds of previously known structure, quindolinone (1), cryptolepinone (2), 11-methoxyquindoline (3), N-trans-feruloyltyramine (4), vomifoliol (5), loliolide (6), 4-ketopinoresinol (7), scopoletin (8), evofolin-A (9), and evofolin-B (10), along with five inactive compounds of known structure, ferulic acid, sinapic acid, syringic acid, ($\pm$)-syringaresinol, and vanillic acid. These isolates were identified by physical and spectral data measurement. A new derivative of quindolinone, 5,10-dimethylquindolin-11-one (1a) was synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Of the active substances, compounds 1-3 and 1a exhibited the most potent QR activity, with observed CD (concentration required to double induction) values ranging from 0.01 to 0.12 $\mu$ g/mL. Six compounds were then evaluated in a mouse mammary organ culture assay, with cryptolepinone (2), N-trans-feruloyltyramine (4), and 5,10-dimethylquindolin-11-one (1a) found to exhibit 83.3, 75.0, and 66.7% inhibition of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced preneoplastic lesions, respectively, at a dose of 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL.

연구배경 : Arsenic trioxide($As_2O_3$, 비소 삼산화물)는 급성전 골수성백혈병의 효과적인 치료제로 이용되고 있고, 비소세포폐암을 비롯한 여러 고형종양세포에서 세포 고사를 유도하나 백혈병에 비해 상대적으로 높은 농도가 필요하여 실제적인 치료에 제한이 있어왔다. Sulindac은 COX-2 억제, 암세포 성장의 억제 및 세포 고사 유도를 기전으로 하는 항암효과가 있고, 다른 화학요법이나 방사선치료의 반응성을 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 NCI-H157 폐암세포주에서 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합요법이 Fas/FasL 신호전달계의 활성화와 caspase 단백질 활성화 의해 세포고사가 유도되었음을 보고한 바 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 이러한 경로 이외에 다른 기전유무를 밝히는데 있다. 방 법 : 세포 독성은 MTT 방법으로 구하였고, HRP 방법을 이용해 ROS를 직접 측정하였다. 세포고사의 형태학적 특성을 보기위해 핵산염색과 관련된 단백질의 발현을 확인하였다. 또한 미토콘드리아의 기능변화를 보기 위해 미토콘드리아의 막전위차를 측정하였고, anti-cytochrome c와 Bcl-2 family 단백질들의 발현 양상을 western blotting을 통해 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 단독요법에 비해 병합요법시에 생존율의 의의 있는 감소를 보였다. 이러한 생존율은 항산화제를 전처리 한 경우 농도 의존적으로 회복됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. ROS의 생성은 병합요법시에 대조군에 비해 의의 있게 증가하였고, 이러한 현상은 항산화제 전처리군에서 감소된 소견을 보였다. 또한 병합요법시 핵산염색에 의해 여러조각의 분절된 형광절편과 caspase 3, PARP의 활성을 통해 세포고사가 유도되었음을 확인하였고, 항산화제 전처리군에서 상쇄됨을 관찰하였다. JC-1 염색 후 형광현미경을 통한 미토콘드리아 막전위차에 미치는 영향은 병합처리군에서 녹색형광으로의 변화가 보였고 항산화제 전처리군에서 소실됨을 확인하였다. 또한 병합요법시의 cytochrome c의 세포 질내의 증가와 미토콘드리아내의 감소가 관찰되었고, Bax의 증가, Bid와 Bcl-xL의 발현감소를 확인할 수 있었으며 이러한 현상은 항산화제 전처리군에서 소실됨을 보였다. 결 론 : NCI-H157 폐암세포주에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합 요법은 ROS생성과 미토콘드리아 기능변화를 통해 세포고사가 유도되었다.

연구배경 : Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)은 heme의 분해 대사과정에 관여하는 유도성 효소로 heme을 분해하여 biliverdin, free iron, 및 일산화탄소 등을 생성시킨다. HO-1의 발현은 다양한 스트레스성 자극에 반응하여 생체방어 기능을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있는데 세포성장이나 세포사 특히 세포고사를 조절하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 현재 신장암, 전립선암, 간암, 육종 등의 고형암에서 발현됨이 알려져 있고, 실제 HO-1 억제제를 투여했을 때 암성장이 억제됨이 보고되었다. 저자들은 폐암세포주들에서 HO-1의 발현유무와 그 역할을 규명하고 나아가 HO-1 억제제의 치료제로서의 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 비소세포폐암세포주인 A549, H23, NCI-H157, NCI-H460을 이용하였다. 세포독성은 MTT 방법으로 구하였고, HO-1의 발현은 Western blotting으로 확인하였다. HO의 효소활성은 시간당 세포단백질의 mg당 형성된 빌리루빈의 양을 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 horse radish peroxidase(HRP)와 형광물질인 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein(DCF)를 이용한 두 가지 방법을 이용하였다. A549세포에 HO-1 small interfering RNA(siRNA)을 주입하여 유식세포 분석과 caspase-3에 대한 Western blotting을 통하여 세포고사유무를 확인하였다. 결 과 : 비처리 상태에서 다른 세포주에 비해 A549세포의 HO-1 발현이 증가되었으며 HO-1 활성억제제인 ZnPP를 처리하였을 때 생존율의 의미 있는 감소를 보였다. 이러한 소견과 일치하여 ZnPP는 용량의존적으로 HO 의 효소활성 감소와 세포 내 $H_2O_2$ 생성의 증가를 초래하였다. 또한 HO-1 siRNA로 주입된 A549세포는 세포고사를 유도하였다. 결 론 : HO-1은 폐암의 치료에 있어서 새로운 분자생물학적 기전의 가능성을 제시하여 HO-1에 대한 표적치료의 가능성을 보여줄 것으로 기대된다.
