Objective : This study was performed to estimate the effects of OMC-2010 extract on cytokine production in mouse spleen cells. Methods : Mouse spleen cells were pre-treated with ethanol and water extract of OMC-2010 for 1 h, then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 μg/ml) for 48 h. Then the cells were harvested for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect cytokines. Results : OMC-2010 ethanol extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-5 mRNA expressions, but not shown such changes in IL-6, IL-4, IL-13. OMC-2010 water extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced TNF-alpha, and IL-5 mRNA expressions, but not shown such changes in IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-4, IL-13. Conclusions : Theses results could suggest that both ethanol and water OMC-2010 extract could inhibit the TNF-alpha and IL-5 mRNA expression.

Silica dioxide nanoparticles (siONPs) have been applied to several fields, such as drug delivery and gene therapy. However, SiONPs are a constituent of fine dust and can induce excessive inflammatory responses in the lungs via the airways. Silibinin a major component of silymarin, has been known for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In the present study, we explored the protective effects of silibinin against SiONPs-induced airway inflammation and explored its underlying mechanism of action, focusing on thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPKs) in vitro and in vivo. In SiONPs-stimulated NCI-H292 airway epithelial cells, silibinin treatment effectively suppressed the elevation of the mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β, which was accompanied by the reduction in the expression of TXNIP, MAPKs, and activator protein-1 (AP-1). In SiONPs-treated mice, silibinin administration inhibited the increase in inflammatory cell counts and proinflammatory mediators, and it alleviated airway inflammation by SiONPs exposure. In addition, silibinin administration effectively suppressed the elevation of TXNIP / MAPKs / AP-1 signaling by SiONPs exposure. Taken together, silibinin effectively inhibited SiONPs-induced inflammatory responses, an this effect was closely related to the inhibition of TXNIP / MAPK/ AP-1 signaling. These results suggested that silibinin might be useful for reducing pulmonary inflammation induced by SiONPs.

비만세포는 알레르기 반응을 일으키는 주된 세포로서 항원 자극에 반응하여 알레르기 유발 물질인 히스타민, 단백질 분해효소, 염증성 지질 물질 및 사이토카인 등을 분비한다. 아미노산인 트립토판은 염증반응을 조절한다. 트립토판 투여는 비만세포가 관여하는 염증성 장염 증상을 완화시킨다. 그러나 트립토판이 비만세포의 알레르기 반응에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 없다. 본 저자들은 트립토판이 IgE 매개 알레르기 반응에 미치는 영향을 비만세포 수준에서 그리고 실험동물 생쥐에서 연구하였다. IgE-매개 수동 피부 아나필락시스를 생쥐에서 연구하였다. 또한 IgE-매개 비만세포 활성화 반응 즉, 탈과립 반응, 염증성 지질인 LTB4와 사토카인 (TNF-α와 IL-4) 등의 분비를 측정하였다. 트립토판을 생쥐에 복강 주사하면 IgE 매개 수동 피부 아나필락시스를 억제하였다. 또한 비만세포 수준에서도 트립토판은 IgE 매개 알레르기 반응들, 즉 탈과립 반응과 염증성 지질인 LTB4 및 사이토카인인 TNF-α와 IL4의 분비를 억제하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 트립토판은 IgE 매개 알레르기 반응을 세포 수준 및 실험동물 수준에서 억제함을 알 수 있었다. Mast cells are major immune cells in allergy to secrete allergic mediators by a degranulation process and make and secrete inflammatory lipids and cytokines in response to antigen stimulation. An amino acid tryptophan regulates immune functions. Tryptophan ameliorates inflammatory colitis in which mast cells are engaged. However, its effects on mast cells remain to be solved. We investigated the effect of tryptophan on IgE-mediated allergic responses in the mast cells and mice. IgEmediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in mice were examined. Also IgE-mediated mast cell activation responses such as degranulation of stored granules and secretion of inflammatory lipid LTB4 and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-4) were measured. Intraperitoneal administration of tryptophan suppressed PCA in mice. Also, in the cellular level tryptophan inhibited IgE-mediated mast cell activation such as IgE-mediated degranulation and the production of LTB4. Also, it inhibited production of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-4. In summary, tryptophan suppressed IgE-mediated allergic activation in vivo and in vitro. Tryptophan supplementation is beneficial for IgE-mediated allergy.

Objective To assess the effi cacy of human placental extract (HPE) in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method We used (i) KRN C57BL/6 TCR transgenic x NOD mice (KBx/N) serum transfer arthritis and (ii) collageninduced arthritis (CIA) mice to evaluate the effi cacy of HPE (1 ul or 100 ul, intra-peritoneal, three times per week)on RA. Incidence, severity of arthritis, and hind-paw thickness were quantifi ed. Joint destruction was analyzed using modifi ed mammographic imaging. Histopathological analysis for infl ammation, cartilage, and osteoclasts was performed using Hematoxylin-eosin (H-E), safranin-O, and tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase (TRAP). ELISAs were used for detection of various cytokines in serum and joint tissue. Results Th ere were no signifi cant diff erences in incidence of arthritis, clinical scores of arthritis, and hind-paw thickness between HPE-treated and vehicle-treated groups for up to 2 weeks in the KBx/N serum transfer arthritis model. Histopathological analysis also showed no diff erences 2 weeks after treatment. Levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and RANKL in serum and joint tissues were similar in all groups. Furthermore, there were no diff erences in clinical, radiological, and histological parameters between HPE-treated and vehicle-treated group for 3 weeks in the CIA model. Conclusion Systemic treatment with HPE has no benefi cial eff ects on arthritis in animal models of RA. Th erefore,indiscreet use of HPE in RA should be forbidden.

Background Silica dioxide nanoparticles (SiONPs) have been used for various medical applications, including therapeutics and imaging, and the use of SiONPs has increased gradually over the years. However, despite an increase in the use of SiONPs, not much is known about mechanism of action of SiONPs and their pulmonary toxicity. Objective The present study investigated the pulmonary toxicity of SiONPs and explored the underlying mechanism of action, primarily focusing on thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)/NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) in SiONPs-treated mice. We investigated the toxic effects of SiONPs in the lung of BALB/c mice administered 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg SiONPs for 3 days. Results Exposure to SiONPs markedly increased inflammatory cell counts, including those of neutrophils and macrophages, and levels of inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in a dose-dependent manner in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Moreover, the inflammation was verified upon histopathological analysis. In addition, exposure to SiONPs increased the expression of TXNIP in a dose-dependent manner and, in turn, upregulated NLRP3 inflammasome proteins, which subsequently induced IL-1β production. Conclusion Collectively, exposure to SiONPs induced inflammation in the lungs of mice, which resulted in the activation of IL-1β production via the TXNIP-NLRP3 axis. Our results provide useful information on the pulmonary toxicity induced by SiONPs and provide insights into the underlying mechanism of action.

Triptolide suppresses interleukin-1beta-induced human beta-defensin-2 mRNA expression through inhibition of transcriptional activation of NF-kappaB in A549 cells.

Jang, Byeong-Churl,Lim, Ki-Jo,Choi, In-Hak,Suh, Min-Ho,Park, Jong-Gu,Mun, Kyo-Chul,Bae, Jae-Hoon,Shin, Dong-Hoon,Suh, Seong-Il D.A. Spandidos 2007 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR MEDICINE Vol.19 No.5

<P>The immunosuppressive effect of triptolide has been associated with suppression of T-cell activation. However, the immunosuppressive effects of triptolide on innate immunity in the epithelial barrier remain to be elucidated. Human beta-defensin (HBD)-2 is an inducible antimicrobial peptide and plays an important role in the innate immunity. We have previously demonstrated that IL-1beta induced HBD-2 mRNA expression in A549 cells through activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) transcriptional factor as well as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), or phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K). In this study, we investigated effects of triptolide on IL-1beta-induced HBD-2 mRNA expression in A549 cells. Triptolide inhibited IL-1beta-induced HBD-2 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of triptolide did not suppress activation of p38 MAPK, JNK, or PI3K in response to IL-1beta. Triptolide inhibited IL-1beta-induced MAPK phosphatase-1 expression at the transcriptional level and resulted in sustained phosphorylation of JNK or p38 MAPK, explaining the little effect of triptolide on IL-1beta-induced phosphorylation of these kinases. Although triptolide partially suppressed IL-1beta-mediated degradation of IkappaB-alpha and nuclear translocation of p65 NF-kappaB, triptolide potently inhibited NF-kappaB promoter-driven luciferase activity in A549 cells. These results collectively suggest that the inhibitory effect of triptolide on IL-1beta-induced HBD-2 mRNA expression in A549 cells seems to be at least in part mediated through nuclear inhibition of NF-kappaB transcriptional activity, but not inhibition of p38 MAPK, JNK, or PI3K. This inhibition may explain the ability of triptolide to diminish innate immune response.</P>

Naringin은 레몬, 오렌지에서 발견되는 flavonoid계열에 속하는 물질로 여러 식물과 과일에 다량 함유되어 있다. 항암, 항산화 작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 있는 Naringin을 ovalbumin (OVA)으로 유도한 천식(asthma) 생쥐모델을 이용하여 치료효과를 알아 보았다. 기관지 폐포 세척액을 회수하여 백혈구의 수적 변화, 제2형 협조T세포(Th2 cell)가 생산하는 IL-4, IL-5의 생산에 미치는 영향과 폐조직에서 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 활성을 측정하였다. 또한, 최근에 Th1/Th2 전사인자로서 GATA-3가 밝혀졌는데 이번 실험에서 Naringin이 ovalbumin (OVA)으로 유도한 천식(asthma) 생쥐모델에서 Th1, Th2 싸이토카인과 유전자 발현을 조절할 수 있는가에 대하여 알아보았다 그 결과 기관지 폐포 세척액에서 OVA로 감작하여 천식을 유도한 실험군에서는 호산구의 현저한 증가, Th2 형 싸이토카인(IL-4, IL-5)의 증가가 관찰되었다. 그러나 Naringin을 투여한 그룹에서는 OVA의 감작에 의하여 증가한 각종 염증성 지표들이 감소하거나 정상화 되었다. 또한 OVA에 의하여 증가된 기도저항성이 Naringin 투여에 의하여 감소하였으며 폐조직의 염증성 소견도 뚜렷하게 감소되었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 Naringin이 천식의 치료에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있음을 시사해준다. The common word flavonoids is often used to classify a family of natural compounds, highly abundant in all higher plants, that have received significant therapeutic interest in recent years. Naringin is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, neurodegenerative disease, cancer and other chronic diseases; however the molecular basis of this effect remains to be elucidated. Thus we attempted to elucidate the anti-allergic effect of Naringin in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model mice. The OVA-induced mice showed allergic reactions in the airways. These included an increase in the number of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, an increase in inflammatory cell infiltration into the lung around blood vessels and airways, airway luminal narrowing, and the development of airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). The administration of Naringin before the last airway OVA challenge resulted in a significant inhibition of all asthmatic reactions. Accordingly, this study may provide evidence that Naringin plays a critical role in the amelioration of the pathogenetic process of asthma in mice. These findings provide new insight into the immunopharmacological role of Naringin in terms of its effects on asthma in mice.

<P>Despite their useful physico-chemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) continue to cause concern over occupational and human health due to their structural similarity to asbestos. Thus, to evaluate the toxic and genotoxic effect of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on lung cells <I>in vivo</I>, eight-week-old rats were divided into four groups (each group = 25 animals), a fresh air control (0 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>), low (0.17 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>), middle (0.49 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>), and high (0.96 mg/m<SUP>3</SUP>) dose group, and exposed to MWCNTs <I>via</I> nose-only inhalation 6 h per day, 5 days per week for 28 days. The count median length and geometric standard deviation for the MWCNTs determined by TEM were 330.18 and 1.72 nm, respectively, and the MWCNT diameters ranged from 10 to 15 nm. Lung cells were isolated from five male and five female rats in each group on day 0, day 28 (only from males) and day 90 following the 28-day exposure. The total number of animals used was 15 male and 10 female rats for each concentration group. To determine the genotoxicity of the MWCNTs, a single cell gel electrophoresis assay (Comet assay) was conducted on the rat lung cells. As a result of the exposure, the olive tail moments were found to be significantly higher (<I>p</I> < 0.05) in the male and female rats from all the exposed groups when compared with the fresh air control. In addition, the high-dose exposed male and middle and high-dose exposed female rats retained DNA damage, even 90 days post-exposure (<I>p</I> < 0.05). To investigate the mode of genotoxicity, the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and inflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α, TGF- β, IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-γ) were also measured. For the male rats, the H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> levels were significantly higher in the middle (0 days post-exposure) and high- (0 days and 28 days post-exposure) dose groups (<I>p</I> < 0.05). Conversely, the female rats showed no changes in the H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> levels. The inflammatory cytokine levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid did not show any statistically significant difference. Interestingly, the short-length MWCNTs deposited in the lung cells were persistent at 90 days post-exposure. Thus, exposing lung cells to MWCNTs with a short tube length may induce genotoxicity.</P>

경계층 난류박리의 제어에 관한 연구 : 제1보;매끄러운 2차원 디퓨저 벽면에서의 난류박리특성 First Report;Turbulent Separation Characteristic on the Smooth 2-Dimensional Diffuser Wall Surface

신정관,박종일,이한영,김경훈 경희대학교 산학협력기술연구원 1995 산학협력기술연구논문집 Vol.1 No.-

The structure of the turbulent wall layer developing into flow separation was studied. The experiments were performed to find out the formation of turbulent separation lead to diverging of the diffuser wall in a two-dimensional asymmetric diffuser which was attached to a downstream end of a long straight channel to provide a fully-developed turbulent inlet condition. First report, this is to estimate how to develop the region of the separation in the smooth diffuser wall with diverging condition and then is the reference on the characteristics of rough diffuser wall being under discussion at second report. As a result, static pressure profile of the fixed wall are in accord with the static pressure profire of the movable wall. Separation has broken out at the diffuser open angle θ=7o, while the diffuser openingangle is increasing, the region of the separation is advanced at the upstream and separation appears at the diffuser open angle θ=12o in the fixed wall too.
