Propolis is a multicomponent, active, complex resinous substance collected by honeybees from a variety of plant sources. We have studied the effect of propolis on neurite outgrowth of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells induced to differentiate by all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). Propolis, at a concentration of $3{\mu}g/mL$, had no significant effect on the viability of differentiating SH-SY5Y cells. However, the neurite outgrowth of the differentiating SH-SY5Y cells treated with propolis ($0.3{\sim}3{\mu}g/mL$) for 48 hr was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of RA-stimulated differentiating SH-SY5Y cells with 0.3 to $3{\mu}g/mL$ propolis resulted in decreased level of transglutaminase and 43-kDa growth-associated protein (GAP-43) in a dose-dependent manner. The results indicate that propolis is able to inhibit neurite outgrowth of differentiating SH-SY5Y cells.

Objectives : To evaluate the neuroprotective effects of added Bo-Yang-Hwan-Oh-Tang (BHT), we investigated the neuronal death protection effects to oxidative damages in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. Methods : To study the cytotoxic effects of BHT on SH-SY5Y cells, the cell viability was determined by MTT assay. To investigate the neuronal death protection of BHT, SH-SY5Y cells were induced oxidative damages by $H_2O_2$ and then assayed the cell viability and DNA fragmentation. We also investigated DPPH free radical scavenging effect of BHT by tube test. Results : In MTT assay, $1000{\mu}g/ml$ of BHT was not showed the cytotoxic effect on SH-SY5Y cells. BHT protected SHSY5Y cells from $H_2O_2-induced $ neuronal cell death in a dose-dependent manner. BHT also protected SH-SY5Y cells from $H_2O_2-induced$ DNA fragmentation. BHT effectively scavenged DPPH free radicals in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion : These data suggest that BHT may have strong antioxidant effects through the free radical scavenging and neuroprotective effects in human neuronal cells.

사람 신경모세포종 세포주 SH-SY5Y에서 Fenretinide (FenR)에 의한 GD3합성효소(hST8Sia I)의 발현증가기작을 규명하게 위하여 hST8Sia I의 프로모터 활성을 조사해 본 결과 -1146에서 -646영역에서 FenR에 의한 활성증가를 나타내었다. 또한 부위특이적 변이의 분석은 -731에서 -722영역에 위치한 전사인자 NF-kB 결합부위가 hST8Sia I의 FenR에 의한 활성증가에 중요하게 관여하고 있음을 나타내었다. FenR에 의한 hST8Sia I 유전자의 발현유도에 포함된 신호전달기작을 전사인자 단백질의 항체를 이용하여 조사해 본 결과 FenR처리에 의해 세포질에서는 인산화된 AKT단백질 수준의 증가가 관찰되었고 핵내에서는 NF-kB의 p65단백질의 증가가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과들은 FenR에 의한 hST8Sia I 유전자의 발현증가는 AKT신호전달경로에 의해 활성화된 NF-kB의 핵내로 이동하여 hST8Sia I 유전자의 프로모터에 결합함으로서 전사가 촉진되어 일어난다는 것을 나타낸다.

최근의 원자간력현미경(AFM)은 생체물질을 대상으로 여러 구조적 형상뿐만 아니라 물리적 특성 측정이 가능하여 바이오분야에 다양이 활용되고 있다. 줄기세포의 신경세포로 분화 인지에 대한 연구와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 AFM의 한 기능인 Force-Distance curve 측정법을 활용하여 신경암세포주라 불리는 SH-SY5Y를 대상으로 분화 전과 후의 세포막의 stiffness 변화를 측정하였다. 세포막의 stiffness값은 시료표면과 맞닿은 AFM 탐침에 계속적으로 수직방향의 힘이 가해질 시 AFM 캔티레버의 구부러짐 정도로 측정된다. SH-SY5Y는 RA (retinoic acid) 처리에 의해 분화유도 되었으며, 생물학적 방법인 western blotting법을 통해 분화여부를 확인하였다. 측정영역은 AFM topography 이미지 상에서 roughness가 가장 낮은 분화 전과 후 SH-SY5Y의 핵 주변영역으로 선정하였다. 선정된 영역 내에 여러 부분의 분화 전후 세포막의 stiffness 값을 측정하여 통계화한 결과, 분화 전과 후 세포막의 stiffness 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 분화 전 SH-SY5Y 세포막의 stiffness는 0.79445 N/m인 반면, 분화 후 SH-SY5Y 세포막의stiffness는 0.60324 N/m로 확인되었다. 이는 분화 전에 비하여 분화 후 SH-SY5Y 세포막의 stiffness가 약 24.07% 감소된 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 본 연구는 생물학적 복잡한 방법이 아닌 간단한 방법으로 세포의 stiffness의 변화 측정을 통한 세포의 분화를 판별할 수 있는 방법을 개발한 것으로 여러 줄기세포의 특정세포로 분화여부 판단에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is currently used in adjuvant differentiation-based treatment of residual or relapsed neuroblastoma (NB). It has been reported that short-term ATRA treatment induces migration and invasion of SH-SY5Y via transglutaminase-2 (Tgase-2). However, the detailed mechanism of Tgase-2's involvement in NB cell invasion remains unclear. Therefore we investigated the role of Tgase-2 in invasion of NB cells using SH-SY5Y cells. ATRA dose-dependently induced the invasion of SH-SY5Y cells. Cystamine (CTM), a well known tgase inhibitor suppressed the ATRA-induced invasion of SH-SY5Y cells in a dose-dependent manner. Matrix metalloproteinase -9 (MMP-9) and MMP-2, well known genes involved in invasion of cancer cells were induced in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SH5Y cells. Treatment of CTM suppressed the MMP-9 and MMP-2 enzyme activities in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SY5Y cells. To confirm the involvement of Tgase-2, gene silencing of Tgase-2 was performed in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SH5Y cells. The siRNA of Tgase-2 suppressed the MMP-9 and MMP-2 activity of the SH-SY5Y cells. MMP-2 and MMP-9 are well known target genes of NF-${\kappa}B$. Therefore the relationship of Tgase-2 and NF-${\kappa}B$ in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SY5Y cells was examined using siRNA and CTM. ATRA induced the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ in the SH-SY5Y cells and CTM suppressed the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$. Gene silencing of Tgase-2 suppressed the MMP expression by ATRA. These results suggested that Tgase-2 might be a new target for controlling the ATRA-induced invasion of NBs.

Parkinson's disease is known to exhibit progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra via inhibition of glutathione metabolism. It is well known that 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) induces Parkinson's disease-like symptoms, while resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In the present study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of resveratrol, a phytoalexin found in grapes and various plants, on 6-OHDA-induced cell damage to the SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line. Resveratrol (5 and 10 ${\mu}M$) inhibited 6-OHDA (60 ${\mu}M$)-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells and induced a reduction of the number of apoptotic nuclei caused by 6-OHDA treatment. Additionally, the total apoptotic rate of cells treated with both resveratrol (10 ${\mu}M$) and 6-OHDA (60 ${\mu}M$) was less than that of 6-OHDA treated cells. Resveratrol also dose-dependently (1, 5 and 10 ${\mu}M$) scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by 6-OHDA in SH-SY5Y cells and prevented depletion of glutathione in response to the 6-OHDA-induced cytotoxicity in the glutathione assay. Overall, these results indicate that resveratrol exerts a neuroprotective effect against 6-OHDA-induced cytotoxicity of SH-SY5Y cells by scavenging ROS and preserving glutathione.

Objectives: In this study we made an effort to investigate the protective effect of SSMT on the N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) -induced cytotoxicity of SH-SY5Y cells. Methods: The cell viability was assessed by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MMT) assay. The fluorescence intensity was measured by using a dye and then with propidium iodide (PI) DNA flow cytometry analysis of the effects on the cell cycle of the SH-SY5Y cells and were used to measure the fluorescence of intracellular reactive oxygen species generation by MPTP. Results: Pretreatment of SSMT significantly suppressed MPTP-induced cytotoxicity, which was revealed as apoptosis characterized by the reduction of cell viability, the increase of ROS production, and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in SH-SY5Y cells. Conclusions: These findings suggest that SSMT exerts neuroprotective effects on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells by MPTP-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration.

Stachys sieboldii Miq. (chinese artichoke), which has been extensively used in oriental traditional medicine to treat of ischemic stroke; however, the role of Stachys sieboldii Miq. (SSM) in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is not yet fully understood. In the current study, the neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y) were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) to simulate I/R injury in vitro model. The results showed that SSM improved OGD/R-induced inhibitory effect on cell viability of SH-SY5Y Cells. SSM displayed anti-oxidative activity as proved by the decreased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and increased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in OGD/R-induced SH-SY5Y Cells. In addition, cell apoptosis was markedly decreased after SSM treatment in OGD/R-induced SH-SY5Y Cells. The up-regulation of Bcl-2 and down-regulation of Bax, thus reducing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio that in turn protected the activation of caspase-9 and -3, and inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, which was associated with the blocking of cytochrome c release to the cytoplasm. Collectively, SSM protected human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells from OGD/R-induced injury via preventing mitochondrial-dependent pathway through scavenging excessive ROS, suggesting that SSM might be a potential agent for the ischemic stroke therapy.

Objectives : The neuroprotective effects of bee venom (BV) have been demonstrated in many studies, but bee venom has many side effects. So we used sweet bee venom (SBV), which has high molecular elements removed to reduce the side effects. I examined the neuroprotective effect of sweet bee venom in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine ($MPP^+$)-induced human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Methods : To observe the possible toxicity of SBV itself, SH-SY5Y cells were treated with SBV in various concentrations for 3 h and $MPP^+$ in concentrations (1 and 5mM) for 24h. To investigate the protective effect of SBV against $MPP^+$ toxicity, SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with vehicle or nontoxic concentrations of SBV for 3h and the cells were not washed, followed by incubation with respective concentrations of SBV and 1 mM $MPP^+$ for 24h. To investigate the protective effect of SBV against $MPP^+$ toxicity, SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with vehicle or nontoxic concentrations of SBV for 3h and the cells were not washed, followed by incubation with respective of SBV(0.5%), 1 mM $MPP^+$, 5uM AKT inhibitor(LY984002) and 10uM ERK inhibitor(PD98059) for 24 h. The protective effect was measured by cell viability assay. To investigate the degree of apoptosis, caspase-3 enzyme activity was measured in control, $MPP^+$, SBV+$MPP^+$. Results : SBV (0.5%) pretreatment protected the SH-SY5Y cells against $MPP^+$-induced apoptotic cell death. The cell viability was higher in the SH-SY5Y cells that were pretreated with vehicle or nontoxic concentrations of SBV than those not pretreated. The caspase-3 activity was lower in the pretreated groups than these not pretreated. ERK and AKT enzymes have a role in the neuroprotective effects of the sweet bee venom. Conclusions : The results demonstrate that SBV has a protective effect on dopaminergic neurons against $MPP^+$ toxicity. This data suggest that SBV could be a potential therapeutic tool for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease(PD).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the modulatory effect of emodin on hydrogen peroxide production in human blastoma SH-SY5Y cells induced by the synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA [polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid]. Hydrogen peroxide production was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. Emodin significantly inhibited the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PIC)-induced production of hydrogen peroxide for 0.5, 2, 12, 18, and 24 hr incubation at the concentrations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 uM in SH-SY5Y (P < 0.05) in dose dependent manner. These results suggest that emodin has neuroprotective property related with its inhibition of hydrogen peroxide production in PIC-induced neuronal cells.
