Chios gum mastic (CGM) is a resinous exudate obtained from the stem and the main leaves of Pistacia lenticulus tree native to Mediterranean areas. Recently it reported that CGM induce apoptosis in a few cancer cells in vitro. Bile acids and their synthetic derivatives induced apoptosis in various kinds of cancer cells and anticancer effects. It has been reported that the synthetic chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) derivatives showed apoptosis-inducing activity on various cancer cells in vitro. This study was undertaken to investigate the synergistic apoptotic effect of cotreatment with a natural product, CGM and a CDCA derivative, HS-1200 on G361 human melanoma cells. To investigate whether the co-treatment of CGM and HS-1200 compared with each single treatment efficiently reduced the viability of G361 cells, MTT assay was conducted. To investigate augmentation of apoptosis in G631 cells co-treated with CGM and HS-1200, DNA electrophoresis, Hoechst staining, proteasome activity assay, flow cytometry, Westen blot analyses, immunofluorescent staining and confocal microscopy were performed. In this study, G361 cells co-treated with CGM and HS-1200 showed several lines of apoptotic manifestation such as nuclear condensations, DNA fragmentation, the reduction of MMP and proteasome activity, the decrease of DNA content, the release of cytochrome c into cytosol, the translocation of AIF and DFF40 (CAD) onto nuclei, activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, PARP and DFF45 (ICAD), and up-regulation of Bax whereas each single treated G361 cells did not. Although the single treatment of 40 μg/mL CGM or 25 μM HS-1200 for 24 hrs did not induce apoptosis, the co-treatment of them induced prominently apoptosis. Therefore, combination therapy of CGM and HS-1200 could be considered, in the future, as an alternative therapeutic strategy for human melanoma.

이창훈,김인령,김규천,김성식,순우성 대한치과교정학회 2006 대한치과교정학회지 Vol.36 No.6

자가 산부식 프라이머는 세포독성이 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 교정치료를 하는 동안 치주조직에 손상을 일으킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 자가 산부식 프라이머가 치주조직에 미치는 영향을 평가해 보고 이를 전통적인 접착법에 사용되는 프라이머와 비교하기 위하여 시행되었다. 시편은 임상에서 브라켓 접착 시 사용하는 Transbond XT Adhesive (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA)를 각각 Transbond XT Primer (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA), Clearfil SE bond (Kuraray, Osaka, Japan), Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer, Adper Prompt L-Pop (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA)과 혼합한 후 광중합하여 제작하였고, Transbond XT Adhesive를 중합한 대조군과 비교하였다. 이를 배양된 HGF-1 (Human Gingiva Fibroblast), HaCaT (Human Keratinocyte cell line), RHEK (immortalized Human Epidermal Keratinocyte)에 노출시킨 후 세포의 형태 변화를 관찰하였고, MTT assay를 시행하여 세포독성을 비교, 평가하였다. 실험결과 72시간 후 HGF-1, HaCaT, RHEK를 이용한 실험에서 모든 프라이머의 세포독성이 높게 나타나 세포 돌기의 위축, 세포 형태의 변화, 세포 수의 감소, 세포의 괴사가 관찰되었다. MTT assay실험 시 HGF-1을 이용한 실험에서 Clearfil SE Bond, Transbond XT Primer, Transbond Plus SEP, Adper Prompt L-Pop의 순으로 세포독성이 높게 나타났고, HaCaT를 이용한 실험에서 Clearfil SE Bond, Adper Prompt L-Pop, Transbond Plus SEP, Transbond XT Primer의 순으로 세포독성이 높게 나타났으며, RHEK를 이용한 실험에서 Clearfil SE Bond, Transbond XT Primer, Adper Prompt L-Pop, Transbond Plus SEP 순으로 세포독성이 높게 나타났다. 자가 산부식 프라이머는 전통적으로 사용되는 프라이머와 마찬가지로 세포독성이 유의하게 높으므로 구강내 사용시 주의가 필요하다. Objective: Several ions and components are released from self-etching primers in the oral cavity. This may cause injury to the periodontal tissues throughout orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of self-etching primers to HGF-1 , HaCaT, and RHEK cells. Method: Transbond XT Primer (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA), and self-etching primers, Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray, Osaka, Japan), Transbond Plus SEP (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA), and Adper Prompt L-Pop (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA), were evaluated by MTT assay, and cellular changes were also observed, Results: In all cells after 72 hours with all primers, severe morphological changes such as atrophy and necrosis were observed. In the MTT assay using HGF-1, Clearfil SE Bond, Transbond XT Primer, Transbond Plus SEP, and Adper Prompt L-Pop were lined up in order of ascending cytotoxicity. When using HaCaT, Clearfil SE Bond, Adper Prompt L-Pop, Transbond Plus SEP, and Transbond XT Primer were lined up in order of ascending cytotoxicity. When using RHEK, Clearfil SE Bond, Transbond XT Primer, Adper Prompt L-Pop, and Transbond Plus SEP were lined up in order of ascending cytotoxicity Conclusion: The result of this study shows that care is needed because self-etching primers show cytotoxic properties similar to conventional primers.

Kim, Jin-Woo,Kim, Sung-Won,Kim, Gyoo-Cheon,Kim, Yong-Deok,Kim, Cheol-Hun,Kim, Bok-Joo,Kim, Uk-Kyu Korean Association of Maxillofacial Plastic and Re 2011 Maxillofacial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery Vol.33 No.4

Purpose: If the tooth structure is damaged, then it is impossible to regenerate the tooth. The materials used to restore the tooth structure are not related to the composition of the tooth. The materials used to restore the structure can't replace the natural tooth because they just fill the defective structure. Calcium phosphate cement remineralizes the dentin and almost replaces the natural tooth, but there are some disadvantages. We conducted basic tests with Biomimetic CPC (Bio-CPC) to make sure of the possibility of the biomaterial to remineralize the defective tooth structure. Methods: In this study, the bioactivity and biocompatibility of Bio-CPC were evaluated for its potential value as the bio-material for regeneration of damaged tooth structure by conducting a cell toxicity assay (WST-1 assay), a cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay, a chromosomal aberration test, total RNA extraction and RT-PCR on MDPC-23 mouse odontoblast-like cells. Results: The in vitro cytotoxicity test showed that the Bio-CPC was fairly cytocompatible for the MDPC-23 mouse odontoblast-like cells. Conclusion: Bio-CPC has a possibility to be a new biomaterial and further study of Bio-CPC is needed.

100년 전부터 암을 가진 동물이나 사람이 박테리아에 감염되었을 때, 그 암조직이 줄어들었다는 보고가 있었다. 박테리아는 감염된 세포내에서 단백질합성 저해제와 구멍형성 단백질 분비, 죽음에 이르게 하는 내재성 단백질 분자의 활성화를 포함하는 다양한 기작을 통해서 세포자멸사를 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 균주로부터 분리한 세포밖 분비물(EPPA)이 구강편평상피암종세포(OSC9)의 세포자멸사를 일으키는지를 알아보고자 시행 하였다 EPPA는 OSC9 암세포에 농도 의존적으로, 또한 시간 의존적으로 암세포독성효과를 나타내었다. Hoechst 염색법, TUNEL 분석법 그리고 DNA 전기영동 등의 방법을 통해 염색질 응축과 핵분절 등이 확인되었다. EPPA가 처리 후 24시간 경과된 세포에서부터 caspase-3와 caspase-6의 활성형태를 관찰할 수 있었다. Caspase-3의 기질인 PARP와 DFF45 그리고 caspase-6의 기질인 lamin A의 분절형태가 관찰 되었다. 이상의 결과로 EPPA가 OSC9 암세포에서 casapse 의존성 세포자멸사를 유발시킴을 알 수 있었다. 사람구강편 평상피암종에 항암효과를 가지는 새로운 물질이 EPPA에 포함되어 있는 것으로 보인다. It was reported that cancer in humans and animals infected with microbial pathogens was regressed about 100 years ago. Bacteria are able to trigger apoptosis by a variety of mechanisms including the secretion of protein synthesis inhibitors, pore forming proteins, molecules activating the endogenous death machinery in the infected cell. This study was conducted in order to investigate whether extracellular products of Psuedomonas aeruginosa (EPPA) induce apoptosis in human oral carcinoma cells (OSC9). The EPPA showed cytotoxic effect on OSC9 cells in dose and time-dependent manner. The cell death was demonstrated to be due to apoptosis characterized by chromatin condensation and nuclear fragment. EPPA treatment induced cleavage of caspase-3 and caspase-6. The caspase substrates, PARP, DFF45 and lamin A were cleaved during EPPA-induced apoptosis. Taken together, EPPA induces apoptosis on human oral squamous carcinoma cells in caspase-dependent manner. Our data therefore provide that EPPA contains a novel antitumor agent for human oral squamous carcinoma.

Kim, Gyoo Cheon,Lee, Hyun Wook,Byun, June Ho,Chung, Jin,Jeon, Young Chan,Lee, Jae Koo WILEY‐VCH Verlag 2013 Plasma Processes and Polymers Vol.10 No.3

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Oral cavity and teeth are important organs of human body. The attention and cost for dental treatments increase every year. In dental clinics, the most common diseases are dental caries, periodontal disease, and stomatitis. Dental aesthetics such as tooth whitening is one of important part of dental clinics. However, conventional treatment methods in dental clinics have limitations by pain and long‐time treatment. Nonthermal plasmas have shown great potential as noble techniques to dental applications due to safety and multi‐functional effects achieved by the abundant plasma components including charged particles, radiation, and reactive species. Reactive oxygen species generated from plasmas can effectively inhibit pathogen activity. The use of nonthermal plasmas is efficient in treating oral diseases because the construction of the plasma devices allows easy access to the oral cavity. However, few studies have been conducted on the use of plasmas in oral disease. Tooth aesthetics, as well as treatment of oral diseases, are important in determining the quality of human life. Recent studies have shown nonthermal plasmas to have strong tooth‐bleaching effects. Studies on oral care using nonthermal plasmas will significantly contribute to oral health in the future. </P>

Effects of Ethyl methanesuifonate and Ultraviolet light on Induction of the Adaptive Response in Chinese Hamster Ovary and Sarcoma 180 Cells

Kim, Gyoo-Cheon,Lee, Dong-Wook,Shin, Eun-Joo,Um, Kyung-Il Korean Environmental Mutagen Society 1996 한국환경성돌연변이·발암원학회지 Vol.16 No.1

This study was performed by the sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and micronuclei (MN) assays to investigate the adaptive response to ultraviolet light (UV) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and Sarcoma 180 (S180) cells. The pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV or 2 mM EMS decreased the frequency of SCEs induced by the treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. The pretreatment with UV (1 or 2 J/m$^2$) or EMS (1, 2 or 3 mM) did not affect the SCEs induced by the treatment with 7 J/m$^2$ UV or 10 mM EMS in S180 cells. On the other hand, the pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV or 2 mM EMS decreased the frequency of MN induced by the treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV or 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. The pretreatment with UV (1 or 2 J/m$^2$) or EMS (1, 2 or 3 mM) did not affect the frequency of MN induced by the treatment with 7 J/m$^2$ UV or 10 mM EMS in S180 cells. It is suggested that there are adaptive responses at the level of chromosome and micronuclei to UV and EMS in CHO cells.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Exotoxin A Induces Apoptosis in Chemoresistant YD-9 Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Line Via Accumulation of p53 and Activation of Caspases

Gyoo-Cheon Kim(김규천),Young-Gi Gil(길영기) 한국생명과학회 2009 생명과학회지 Vol.19 No.8

구강편평상피암종은 말기에서 종종 화학치료요법제들이 유도하는 세포자멸사에 저항성을 보인다. 박테리아의 독에 대한 진전된 이해는 암치료에 대한 새로운 치료전략으로 제기되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA)가 세포자멸사 기작을 통해 항암제에 저항성을 보이는 YD-9 구강편평상피암종의 생존율을 현격하게 떨어뜨림을 설명하고 있다. 세포자멸사현상은 핵의 형태학적 변화와 DNA 분절 생성을 통해 입증되었다. PEA는 caspase-3, -6, -9의 분절과 활성화를 일으켰다. 그리고 이러한 반응들은 caspase의 기질에 해당하는 poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), DFF45, 그리고 lamin A의 단백질 분해를 야기했다. 사립체 막전위 감소, cytochromec와 Smac/DIABLO의 사립체로부터 세포질로의 유리, 그리고 AIF의 사립체에서 핵으로 이동 등이 관찰되었다. p53, p21 그리고 14-3-3γ는 증가되는 반면 cyclin B와 cdc2는 감소되었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 보면 PEA는 caspase를 활성화시키고, 사립체에 변화를 야기시키고 더 나아가서 세포주기 유전자를 조절함으로써 항암제에 대한 강한 저항성을 보이는 YD-9 세포에서 세포자멸사를 유도한다. Oral squamous carcinoma (OSC) cells present resistance to chemotherapeutic agents-mediated apoptosis in the late stages of malignancy. Advances in the understanding of bacterial toxins have produced new strategies for the treatment of cancers. It was demonstrated here that Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA) significantly decreased the viability of chemoresistant YD-9 cells in the apoptosis mechanism. Apoptotic manifestations were evident through changes in nuclear morphology and generation of DNA fragmentation. PEA treatment induced caspase-3, -6 and -9 cleavage, and activation. These events preceded proteolysis of the caspase substrates poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), DNA fragmentation factor 45 (DFF45), and lamin A in YD-9 cells. The reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO from mitochondria to cytosol, and translocation of AIF into nucleus were shown. While p53, p21 and 14-3-3γ were upregulated, cyclin B and cdc2 were downregulated by PEA treatment. Taken together, PEA induces apoptosis in chemoresistant YD-9 cells via activation of caspases, mitochondrial events and regulation of cell cycle genes.

Nonthermal-plasma-mediated animal cell death

Kim, Wanil,Woo, Kyung-Chul,Kim, Gyoo-Cheon,Kim, Kyong-Tai Institute of Physics [etc.] 2011 Journal of Physics. D, Applied Physics Vol.44 No.1

<P>Animal cell death comprising necrosis and apoptosis occurred in a well-regulated manner upon specific stimuli. The physiological meanings and detailed molecular mechanisms of cell death have been continuously investigated over several decades. Necrotic cell death has typical morphological changes, such as cell swelling and cell lysis followed by DNA degradation, whereas apoptosis shows blebbing formation and regular DNA fragmentation. Cell death is usually adopted to terminate cancer cells <I>in vivo</I>. The current strategies against tumour are based on the induction of cell death by adopting various methods, including radiotherapy and chemotherapeutics. Among these, radiotherapy is the most frequently used treatment method, but it still has obvious limitations. Recent studies have suggested that the use of nonthermal air plasma can be a prominent method for inducing cancer cell death. Plasma-irradiated cells showed the loss of genomic integrity, mitochondrial dysfunction, plasma membrane damage, etc. Tumour elimination with plasma irradiation is an emerging concept in cancer therapy and can be accelerated by targeting certain tumour-specific proteins with gold nanoparticles. Here, some recent developments are described so that the mechanisms related to plasma-mediated cell death and its perspectives in cancer treatment can be understood.</P>

김천규 ( Kim Cheon Gyoo ),김호용 ( Kim Ho Yong ) 한국고등직업교육학회 2014 한국고등직업교육학회논문집 Vol.15 No.2

This study is to investigate the job values for the newly created noncommissioned officer majored students in connection with supply and demand of executive level human resource in the military and to suggest the consciousness structure analysis and improvement direction for a curriculum. For the study, advanced researches regarding the job values and curriculum were considered, and a suggestion was made through an empirical study and analysis. The summarized results are as follows. First, noncommissioned officer majored students' job values are economic feasibility, satisfaction, and improvement of ability in the order. Second, noncommissioned officer majored students showed that the satisfaction level is quite low. Third, higher job values tends to show higher satisfaction for curriculum. Since the study discussed focusing on mutual connection between noncommissioned officer majored students' job values and vocational college curriculum, this study can be used as basic resource for further investigation regarding the curriculum and improvement direction for noncommissioned officer majored students. This study was conducted for only Dae-Jeon, Jeon-Ju, and Jeon-Buk district, using samples due to the time and spatial limit, therefore, this study has its limit to generalize notion since it is insufficient to verify the differences throughout the regions and universities.
