Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)의 잠복감염으로 부터의 재활성환느 면역기능이 저하된 사람에게 높은 치사율을 가져오며, 재활성화가 기전의 규명은 매우 중요한 연구과제의 하나이다. HCMV의 잠복감염 부위 중 하나라고 생각되고 있는 인체단핵세포에 대한 HCMV의 영향을 알아보기 위해 여러 분화 단계에 있는 THP-1과 HL-60 세포에 HCMV를 감염시킨 후 생존 세포의 수와 형태적 변화를 살펴보았다. HL-60 세포가 HCMV 감염에 의해 세포 생존이나 형태에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 반면, 좀 더 분화된 세포인 THP-1은 HCMV 감염에 의해 생존 세포의 수가 감소하였고, 형태적 변화도 나타났다. 이러한 형태적 변화는 세포의 응집력의 증가에 의한 것으로 HCMV 감염에 따른 THP-1 세포 표면의 CD11b 발현 증가와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. THP-1 세포에 HCMV를 감염시킨 후 잠복감염이 이루어진 것을 확인하고, 세포 분화 유도제인 TPA와 hydrocortisone을 처리하였을 경우 방러스가 재활성화하여 증식하는지 알아보았다. 바이러스 감염 2일째에 분화시킨 THP-1 세포에서는 분화 5일째부터 다량의 바이러스가 검출되었고, 감염 17일째 분화시킨 세포에서는 분화 후 15일째부터 바이러스가 검출됨을 관찰하였다. 이는 HCMV를 THP-1 세포에 감염 후 분화를 시키면 잠복감염해 있는 HCMV가 재활성화 되는 것이라 생각되고, 감복해 있던 기간이 길어질수록 바이러스의 재활성화정도는 지연된다는 것을 의미한다.

In order to investigate the immunostimulating effect of mycelia extract of Phellinus linteus (PLM) on human monocyte THP-1 and rat peritoneal macrophage cell, we examined measuring cytokine secretion (IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$). The production of IL-6 and TNF-a in human monocyte THP-1 was slight increased dose-dependently when the cells were challenged with PLM for 72 hrs. It was also observed that the treatment of PLM with LPS augmented the production of IL-6 and TNF-a in human monocyte THP-1. It was also observed that the treatment of PLM with LPS augmented the production of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ in human monocyte THP-1. The production of IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ in rat peritoneal macrophage was significantly enhanced when the cells were treated PLM with LPS for 72 hrs. Moreover, the proliferation rate of rat spleen cells was increased in a dose dependent manner as the cells were treated with PLM and Concanavalin A.

본 연구는 zerumbone이 단구의 유주에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 진행되었다. 단구는 다양한 염증 질환의 중요한 매개자로 인식되고 있으며, 활성, 유주 등 단구의 기능 조절을 통해 염증 질환을 조절하는 가능성이 보고 되고 있다. 염증 발생 시 증가하는 케모카인인 MCP-1에 의해 단핵구 세포주 THP-1의 유주가 유발되는 것을 확인하였다. 10 ng/mL의 농도에서 유주가 발생하였으며, 100 ng/mL과 200 ng/mL의 농도에서 가장 높은 유주 현상이 나타났다. MCP-1에 의해 유발된 THP-1 유주는 zerumbone 존재 시 50% 이상 감소하였다. MCP-1 수용체인 CCR2 신호전달 과정의 중요 2차 전달자인 cAMP의 배양액 내 농도는 zerumbone 단독 처리 시 세포 단독 배양 조건에 비해 증가하였으며, MCP-1 단독 처리 시에는 의미있게 감소하였다. 그러나, zerumbone과 MCP-1을 동시에 처리했을 때에는 다시 cAMP의 증가가 관찰되었다. MCP-1 처리에 의해 일어나는 Erk 인산화도 zerumbone과 동시 처리 시 감소하는 결과를 확인했다. 본 연구는 염증성 질환에 중요한 매개자로 인식되고 있는 단구의 유주 현상을 조절하는 zerumbone의 가능성을 보여준다.

Oxysterols은 콜레스테롤의 산화 유도체로서 죽상경화증(atherosclerosis)에서 병태생리학으로 큰 관련성을 가진다. 본 연구는 oxysterols 중 많은 양을 차지하는 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC)이 단핵구(monocyte)의 분화와 활성화에 미치는 영향을 인간 단핵구세포주 THP-1을 이용하여 조사하였다. 7-KC를 처리한 THP-1 세포는 세포독성 없이 약간의 세포증식이 감소하였고, 세포내 lipids의 양이 크게 증가함을 Nile red 염색에 의해 관찰하였다. 7-KC는 단독으로 세포의 부착능(adhesion)에 영향을 주지 않았지만, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)로 자극한 THP-1 세포에서는 부착능의 뚜렷한 감소를 나타내었다. 그리고, 형광이 부착된 latex beads를 이용하여 7-KC의 phagocytosis (포식능)를 조사하였다. 7-KC는 PMA로 분화를 자극한 세포의 phagocytosis를 현저히 감소시켰다. 또한, 7-KC를 처리한 THP-1 세포는 대식세포(macrophage)의 막표면 인자인 ICAM-1, CD11a, scavenger receptor(SR, 청소수용체) SR-A1, SR-B2 (CD36)의 발현을 감소시켰다. 하지만, 7-KC는 단독으로 혹은 PMA로 자극한 세포에서도 SR-D1 (CD68)의 발현을 현저히 증가시켰다. 이를 종합하면, 7-KC는 단핵구를 sterols이 풍부한 거품세포(foam cell)로 변형시킴으로써 생리적 자극에 의한 정상적인 단핵구의 분화와 활성화를 저해한다는 것을 시사한다.

The modulation of leukocyte cell surface adhesion molecules may influence the development of cellular events that determine the course of the inflammatory process. Direct interaction between activated T cells and monocytes resulted in a large production of $IL-1{\beta}$ by monocytes. In this reactions, adhesion molecules play an important part, yet the role of them in Tmonocytes interaction remain unclear. This study was undertaken in an effort to elucidate, 1) the influence of 1.25(OH)$_2D_3-induced$ differentiation on the monocyte responsiveness to direct contact with T lymphocytes, and 2) the role of adhesion molecules on the T-monocyte direct interaction. Initially, I observed that direct contact of monocyte cell line THP-1 with stimulated fixed T cell line HuT78 markedly induces IL-1${\beta}$ production by THP-1. $IL-1{\beta}$ production was higher when THP-1 had been previously exposed to 1.25(OH)$_2D_3$ as compared to control, with ${\alpha}$- 1.25(OH)$_2D_3$ dose-dependent and exposure time-dependent manner. It was shown that 1.25(OH)$_2D_3$ also increased the expression of ${\beta}_2$ integrin adhesion receptor Mac-1(CD11b/CD18) dose- and timedependently, but did not increase the expression of human leukocyte antigen- D(HLA-D) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1). The $IL-1{\beta}$ producing activity of THP-1 cells correlated well with the ability to induce the Mac-1 expression on THP-1 surface. Monoclonal antibody raised against relevant cell surface glycoproteins on THP-1 were tested for their ability to block the response of THP-1 to T cells. Antibody to Mac-1 only partially blocked $IL-1{\beta}$ production by THP-1, whereas antibodies to ICAM-1 and HLA-D did not. These data indicate that regulation of Mac-1 expression on THP-1 cells can alter the responsiveness of these cells to contact by activated T cells, however other unknown structures on the THP-1 cells may be involved in this process also.

The leukocyte recruitment and transmigration across the endothelial barrier into the vessel wall are crucial steps in atherosclerosis. Leukocyte trafficking on the endothelium is elicited by induction of endothelial adhesion molecules, and its transmigration is mediated by degradation of basement membrane proteins through enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). The current study investigated whether resveratrol, a polyphenol present in grapes and red wine, was capable of inhibiting leukocyte adhesion to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$-activated endothelium. It was found that resveratrol inhibited the TNF-${\alpha}$-activated endothelial expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, resveratrol hampered THP-1 monocyte adhesion to activated endothelial cells. This study further examined whether resveratrol interfered with transendothelial migration of leukocytes. The MMP-2 gelatinolytic activity of endothelial cells was enhanced by TNF-${\alpha}$, which was attenuated by an addition of ${\geq}25{\mu}M$ resveratrol. In addition, 25 ${\mu}M$ resveratrol mitigated the MMP-9 activity of THP-1 cells, followed by a marked inhibition of transendothelial migration. These results demonstrated that resveratrol suppressed monocyte adhesion and migration induced by TNF-${\alpha}$ through modulating expression of adhesion molecules and gelatinolytic activity of MMP. These findings suggest that dietary resveratrol may be therapeutic agent for inhibiting leukocyte recruitment into the subendothelium during inflammatory atherosclerosis.

Saengjihwangeum-ja (SJHEJ) was recorded in DongEuiBoGam as being able to be used for treatment of Sogal whose concept had been applied to Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Modification of proteins by long term circulation of glucose leads to the formation of advanced glycation end product(AGE). Recent immunological studies demonstrated that ligation of AGE play an important role in the development of diabetic complications including atherosclerosis, which includes activation, adhesion, and migration of monocytes. Also, AGE and Maillard reaction product(MRP) could augment monocyte inflammatory responses via ligation of AGE receptor. In this study, the effects of SJHEJ extracts on the expression of inflammatory response-related genes such as tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interferon-g-inducible protein-10, and cyclooxygenase-2 in the human monocyte cell line, THP-1 cells. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction revealed that SJHEJ had inhibitory effects on the expression of the TNF-a, MCP-1, IP-10, COX2, IL-1b genes in MRP-induced THP-1 cells. Treatment with SJHEJ had reduced reactive oxygen production in THP-1 cells stimulated by MRP. These inhibitory effects might be exerted via prevention of oxidative stress in activated monocytes. In addition, radical scavenging activity of SJHEJ was increased. These results suggest that SJHEJ has a beneficial effects for improve diabetic vascular complication.

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) regulates the immune system, including inflammatory responses, through TLR2-mediated signaling pathways. LTA isolated from Staphylococcus aureus (aLTA) has been shown to induce apoptosis, but the detailed mechanism has not been identified. We found that aLTA induced apoptosis through an autocrine mechanism in the human monocyte-like cell line, THP-1. We observed that the expression level of the anti-apoptosis protein, Bcl2, was suppressed in LTA-treated THP-1 cells. In addition, the cytokines, TNF-α and IFN-γ, which have been shown to induce apoptosis in some cell lines, were involved in THP-1 cell death via the modulation of Bcl2. The suppression of Bcl2 by aLTA was recovered when the negative regulator, SOCS-1, was knocked down. Taken together, these results showed that aLTA induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells through an autocrine mechanism of cytokines and SOCS-1-mediated Bcl2 inhibition.

본 연구는 2-methoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (MQ)이 Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)에 의해 유도된 단구 유주에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 진행되었다. 단구의 유주(migration) 현상은 신체 방어와 면역반응에 중요한 현상이다. MQ는 아시아권 국가에서 다양한 질병과 통증 치료에 민간요법으로 오랫동안 사용되었던 봉선화(Impatiens balsamina) 잎으로부터 추출한 주요 성분이다. 단구 세포주 THP-1를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였으며, MQ의 세포독성, MCP-1에 의해 유도된 유주 현상에 미치는 영향을 transwell system을 이용하여 확인하였다. MQ 작용기전을 이해하기 위해 cAMP 발현 및 Erk1/2 인산화를 각각 ELISA, Western-blot 기법을 통해 분석하였다. MQ의 단구 세포주 THP-1에 대한 MQ의 세포독성은 $10{\mu}M$ 농도에서 나타나기 시작했으며, $100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 약 50% 가량의 세포독성을 확인했다. 염증성 화학주성 인자 MCP-1에 의해 유도된 단핵구 세포주 THP-1의 유주현상은 MQ 처리 후 농도증가에 비례하여 증가하였으며, $0.1{\mu}M$ 농도의 MQ를 처리했을 때 가장 높은 증가를 보였다. MCP-1 단독 처리 시 감소하는 cAMP 의 배양액 내 발현은 MQ 동시 처리 시 더욱 감소하였고, 유주현상과 마찬가지로 $0.1{\mu}M$ 농도에서 가장 감소하였다. MCP-1의 수용체인 C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) 신호전달 과정에 관여하는 주요 신호전달 단백질인 Erk1/2의 인산화도 $0.1{\mu}M$ MQ 동시 처리 시 증가하였다. 이상의 결과를 통해 MQ가 MCP-1에 의해 유도되는 THP-1 세포주의 유주현상을 증가시키며, 연관된 cAMP 발현을 감소, Erk1/2 인산화는 증가시키는 경향을 확인하였다.

The effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) on three human monocyte cell lines at different stages of differentiation was investigated. While the viability of HL-60 cells or U-937 cells was not significantly affected by HCMV infection, the viability of THP-1 cells was reduced. Acridine orange/ethidiurn bromide staining revealed that the reduction of THP-1 cell viability was due to increased apoptotic death following HCMV infection. Apoptosis in HL-60 cells was not affected by HCMV infection, and induction of apoptosis of U-937 cells by HCMV was intermediate between HL-60 and THP-1 cells. Since HL-60 cells are the least differentiated and THP-1 cells are the most differentiated, the induction of apoptosis of human monocytes appears to be related to the degree of cell differentiation. Flow cytometric and confocal microscopic studies using fluorescent calcium indicator Fluo-3 suggested a significant increase in intracellular free calcium concentration (［Ca$\^$2+/］i) in THP-1 cells undergoing apoptosis by HCMV infection. Again ［Ca$\^$2+/］i in HCMV-infected HL-60 cells was not critically altered, and that in HCMV-infected U-937 cells was intermediate between THP-1 cells and HL-60 cells. Calcium influx blockers such as verapamil and nifedipine partially reversed HCMV-induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells.
