  • 본 연구는 3,3'-diindolylmethane(DIM)이 인간전립선암 세포인 PC3 세포와 DU145 세포의 부착, 이동, 침윤에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. DIM은 PC3와 DU145 세포의 부착을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 24시간동안 DIM으로 PC3 세포를 전 처리한 후 부착실험을 한 결과 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 그러나 암세포가 부착 시 DIM의 암세포 부착 억제가 전처리에 의한 부착 억제보다 효과적이었다. DIM은 인간 전립선암세포의 이동과 침윤도 억제하였으며 24시간 동안 PC3 세포를 DIM으로 전처리를 했을 때도 침윤 억제효과를 나타내었다. 또한 DIM의 억제효과는 세포주에 따라 다소 다른 경향을 보여 PC3 세포에 대한 억제효과가 DU145 세포에 대한 억제효과보다 큰 것으로 관찰되었다. DIM은 $150{\mu}M$ 까지 세포 독성이 관찰되지 않은 것으로 보고되고 있으므로 본 연구결과 DIM은 세포 독성이 없는 수준에서 인간 전립선암 세포인 PC3와 DU145 세포의 부착, 이동, 침윤을 효과적으로 억제하여 전립선암 전이 억제제로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Cordycepin은 동충하초로부터 분리한 생리활성 물질로써 항암활성을 가진다고 보고되어 있다. 하지만 그 정확한 항암 기전은 아직 확실하게 밝혀져 있지 않다. 이에 인간 전립선 암 세포주인 PC-3 세포를 이용하여 apoptosis와 그에 관련한 경로를 조사함으로써 cordycepin의 항암효과를 연구하였다. MTT assay를 통해 세포독성을 알아보았고 Annexin-V/PI 염색과 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도, ROS의 생성, MMP의 변화를 관찰하여 apoptosis 경로를 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 Western blot analysis를 이용하여 apoptosis와 관련된 단백질의 발현 정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서 cordycepin은 apoptosis 관련 단백질의 발현을 조절함으로써 apoptosis와 관련이 있음을 확인할 수 있었고, 미토콘드리아 관련 apoptosis 경로를 확인한 결과, ROS의 생성, $Ca^{2+}$의 증가 그리고 미토콘드리아 막 전위의 붕괴를 통해 apoptosis 기전이 유도됨을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 cordycepin은 PC-3 세포에 대하여 ROS와 $Ca^{2+}$의 농도 증가를 통해 MMP를 변화시켜 미토콘드리아 관련 apoptosis 기전을 거쳐 caspase의 활성을 증가시킴으로써 apoptosis를 유도함을 알 수 있었다.

  • 암세포를 포함한 생체 내 빠른 분열을 요구하는 세포 집단에서 세포 내 구성요소 및 에너지원으로서 글루타민의 요구량이 증대되지만, 종양세포의 글루타민 의존적 대사작용에 관한 기전은 여전히 잘 알려진 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 LnCaP 전립선 암세포의 이동성 및 침윤성에 미치는 글루타민 결핍효능을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 LnCaP 세포에서 글루타민 결핍에 의하여 세포의 이동성 및 세포의 침윤성이 현저하게 억제되었으며, 이러한 이동성 및 침윤성 억제는 TIMPs의 발현 증대에 의한 MMPs의 발현 감소 및 그들의 효소적 활성 저하와 연관성이 있었다. 또한 글루타민이 결핍된 조건에서 배양된 LnCaP 세포에서 TER의 현저한 증가가 관찰되었는데, 이는 TJs의 조절인자인 claudin family 발현의 차단에 의한 것으로 생각되어진다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 암세포의 증식에서 글루타민의 결핍은 TJ의 결합력 증대와 MMPs의 활성을 저하시킴으로써 암세포 전이에 가장 기본적인 과정인 암세포의 이동성과 침윤성을 억제시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Steroid sulfatase (STS) is an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of aryl and alkyl sulfates. STS plays a pivotal role in the regulation of estrogens and androgens that promote the growth of hormone-dependent tumors, such as those of breast or prostate cancer. However, the molecular function of STS in tumor growth is still not clear. To elucidate the role of STS in cancer cell proliferation, we investigated whether STS is able to regulate the integrin signaling pathway. We found that overexpression of STS in HeLa cells increases the protein and mRNA levels of integrin ${\beta}1$ and fibronectin, a ligand of integrin ${\alpha}5{\beta}1$. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), one of the main metabolites of STS, also increases mRNA and protein expression of integrin ${\beta}1$ and fibronectin. Further, STS expression and DHEA treatment enhanced phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at the Tyr 925 residue. Moreover, increased phosphorylation of ERK at Thr 202 and Tyr 204 residues by STS indicates that STS activates the MAPK/ERK pathway. In conclusion, these results suggest that STS expression and DHEA treatment may enhance MAPK/ERK signaling through up-regulation of integrin ${\beta}1$ and activation of FAK.

  • Metformin is an oral anti-hyperglycemic agent, which is the most commonly prescribed medication in the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. It is purportedly associated with a reduced risk for various cancers, mainly exerting anti-proliferation effects on various human cancer cell types, such as pancreas, prostate, breast, stomach and liver. This mini-review highlights the risk and benefit of metformin used for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) prevention and therapy. The results indicated metformin might be a quite promising strategy CCA prevention and treatment, one mechanism being inhibition of CCA tumor growth by cell cycle arrest in both in vitro and in vivo. The AMPK/mTORC1 pathway in intrahepatic CCA cells is targeted by metformin. Furthermore, metformin inhibited CCA tumor growth via the regulation of Drosha-mediated expression of multiple carcinogenic miRNAs. The use of metformin seems to be safe in patients with cirrhosis, and provides a survival benefit. Once hepatic malignancies are already established, metformin does not offer any therapeutic potential. Clinical trials and epidemiological studies of the benefit of metformin use for CCA should be conducted. To date, whether metformin as a prospective chemotherapeutic for CCA is still questionable and waits further atttention.

  • The nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$), is expressed in various cancer cells including breast, prostate, colorectal and cervical examples. An endogenous ligand of $PPAR{\gamma}$, 15-deoxy-${\Delta}^{12,14}$ prostaglandin $J_2$ (PGJ2), is emerging as a potent anticancer agent but the exact mechanism has not been fully elucidated, especially in breast cancer. The present study compared the anticancer effects of PGJ2 on estrogen receptor alpha ($ER{\alpha}$)-positive (MCF-7) and $ER{\alpha}$-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast cancer cells. Based on the reported signalling cross-talk between $ER{\alpha}$ and $ER{\alpha}$, the effect of the $ER{\alpha}$ ligand, $17{\beta}$-estradiol (E2) on the anticancer activities of PGJ2 in both types of cells was also explored. Here we report that PGJ2 inhibited proliferation of both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells by inducing apoptotic cell death with active involvement of mitochondria. The presence of E2 potentiated PGJ2-induced apoptosis in MCF-7, but not in MDA-MB-231 cells. The $ER{\alpha}$ antagonist, GW9662, failed to block PGJ2-induced activities but potentiated its effects in MCF-7 cells, instead. Interestingly, GW9662 also proved capable of inducing apoptotic cell death. It can be concluded that E2 enhances $ER{\alpha}$-independent anticancer effects of PGJ2 in the presence of its receptor.

  • Trichomonas vaginalis causes the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Trichomonads have been detected in prostatic tissues from prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer. Chronic prostatic inflammation is known as a risk factor for prostate enlargement, benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, and acute urinary retention. Our aim was to investigate whether T. vaginalis could induce inflammatory responses in cells of a benign prostatic hyperplasia epithelial cell line (BPH-1). When BPH-1 cells were infected with T. vaginalis, the protein and mRNA of inflammatory cytokines, such as CXCL8, CCL2, IL-$1{\beta}$, and IL-6, were increased. The activities of TLR4, ROS, MAPK, JAK2/STAT3, and NF-${\kappa}B$ were also increased, whereas inhibitors of ROS, MAPK, PI3K, NF-${\kappa}B$, and anti-TLR4 antibody decreased the production of the 4 cytokines although the extent of inhibition differed. However, a JAK2 inhibitor inhibited only IL-6 production. Culture supernatants of the BPH-1 cells that had been incubated with live T. vaginalis (trichomonad-conditioned medium, TCM) contained the 4 cytokines and induced the migration of human monocytes (THP-1 cells) and mast cells (HMC-1 cells). TCM conditioned by BPH-1 cells pretreated with NF-${\kappa}B$ inhibitor showed decreased levels of cytokines and induced less migration. Therefore, it is suggested that these cytokines are involved in migration of inflammatory cells. These results suggest that T. vaginalis infection of BPH patients may cause inflammation, which may induce lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

  • Background: Genetic factors play important roles in the pathogenesis of human cancer. A recent genome wide association study (GWAS) identified an association between the rs2294008 polymorphism of the prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) gene and bladder cancer risk in Caucasians. The aim of this study was to determine whether the rs2294008 polymorphism is similarly associated with bladder cancer susceptibility in a Korean population. Materials and Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 411 bladder cancer patients and 1,700 controls. Results: The frequencies of the CC, CT, and TT genotypes of the rs2294008 polymorphism were 16.9, 54.0, and 28.8% in bladder cancer patients and 24.4, 48.1, and 27.5% in controls, respectively. We found that the combined CT/TT genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of bladder cancer (OR CT/TT =1.58, 95% CI= 1.15-2.17), compared with the CC genotype. Smoking habits, tumor grade and tumor stage did not modify the association between rs2294008 and the risk of bladder cancer. Conclusions: Our study showed that the rs2294008 polymorphism in the PSCA gene is associated with the risk of bladder cancer in a Korean population, providing evidence that it may contribute to bladder carcinogenesis regardless of ethnicity.

  • 체지방감소 효과가 있는 시판 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)의 색깔을 제거하고 이 색깔의 세포독성에 관한 연구를 하였다. 황갈색의 시판 CLA 제품을 구입하여 crude CLA (c-CLA) 시료로 하였다. c-CLA 시료를 감압증류(10 mmHg-$220^{\circ}C$, 10 mmHg-$235^{\circ}C$, 10 mmHg-$240^{\circ}C$, 20 mmHg-$260^{\circ}C$; 30분)하여 증류된 CLA (distilled CLA; d-CLA) 시료와 증류되지 않고 남아있는 황갈색 CLA (residual CLA; r-CLA) 시료로 분리하였다. 10 mmHg-$220^{\circ}C$에서 증류하여 얻은 d-CLA 시료의 색깔은 L (brightness), a (red/blue), b (yellow/green)로 분석한 결과 무색에 가까웠고 r-CLA 시료는 황갈색이었고, 이들 두 CLA 시료의 CLA 이성체 조성은 변하지 않았다. 따라서 10 mmHg-$220^{\circ}C$에서 얻은 r-CLA 시료의 인체암세포(유방암 MCF-7. 폐암 A-549, 직장암 HT-29, 전립선암 PC-3)와 인체 정상세포(신경모세포 SK-N-SH)에 대한 세포독성을 d-CLA 시료와 비교하였다. 이들 암세포와 정상세포에 r-CLA 시료와 d-CLA 시료 처리 2일 후의 세포독성에는 차이가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 c-CLA 시료에 함유된 색소는 10 mmHg-$220^{\circ}C$로 감압증류 하여 제거할 수 있었고, r-CLA 시료의 세포독성은 d-CLA 시료의 세포독성과 차이가 없었다. 이와 같은 결과는 c-CLA 시료에 함유된 색소는 세포생육에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않고 인체에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않음을 의미한다.
