Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the effects of Acanthopanacis Cortex Radicis extract(ACRE) on the apoptosis in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. Methods: After treatment with various concentration of ACRE, cell growth was evaluated in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. Hoechst 33342 staining was performed to estimate DNA fragment effect of ACRE on the apoptosis in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. Annexin V/PI apoptosis assay was used to estimate the effects of ACRE on the early apoptosis in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. RT-PCR was used to estimate the apoptosis gene expression effect of ACRE on Hela cell MCF-7 cell. Results: Under $0.1mg/m\ell$ of ACRE, cytotoxic effect was not found per NIH3T3 cell. The viability of HeLa cell and MCF-7 cells was significantly decreased ACRE ($100{\mu}g/m\ell$) in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell, ACRE ($50{\mu}g/m\ell$) in HeLa cell 3 days after treatment, in MCF-7 cell 1&3 days after treatment (p<0.01). DNA fragmentation was observed 3 days after treatment of cl of ACRE on HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. In Annexin V/PI apoptosis assay, after treatment of $100{\mu}g/m\ell$ of ACRE, the early apoptotic cell increased both in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. In RT-PCR analysis, after treatment of $100{\mu}g/m\ell$ of ACRE, bcl-2 were decreased and bax, caspase-3 were increased both in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell. Conclusions: ACRE appears to have considerable activity on the apoptosis in HeLa cell and MCF-7 cell.

Purpose : This study is to evaluate the synergistic cytotoxicity of Rhizoma Rehmanniae(RR), in adriamycin-treated HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. Methods : We culture HeLa cell which is human metrocarcinoma cell in D-MEM included 10% fetal bovine serum(Hyclone Laboratories) below $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$. Then we observed apoptosis of log phage cell which is changed cultivation liquid 24 Hours periodically. Results : The combination of RR and adriamycin synergistically augmented the cytotoxicity of HeLa cells. The apoptotic cell death was accompanied by the activation of caspase-3 and -8 as well as cleavage of poly(ADP- ribose) polymerase (PARP) in HeLa cells. The co-treatment of RR with adriamycin didn't have any effect on either the expression of Bcl-2 or that of Bax. Interestingly, a synergistic increase in apoptosis by the combination of two drugs was accompanied by the enhancement of Pas and Fas ligand (FasL) expression in HeLa cells. Taken together, the combination of RR and adriamycin significantly augmented the apoptotic cytotoxicity of Fas-positive cells, such as HeLa cells. The pathway is not involved in mitochondria-dependent pathway. Conclusion : RR induces apoptosis in HeLa cells via p38 MAPK activation.

The leaves of Mirabilis jalapa L contains protein fraction presumed ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP). RIP is a group of protein that has RNA N-glycosidase activity that is capable to inhibit protein synthesis. Protein fraction of the plant was shown to be cytotoxic on HeLa cell-line, however, the mechanism by which the protein kill the cells is not identified yet, whether trough apoptosis, necrosis, or other mechanism. This research aim to study the mechanism of cell death caused by the protein fraction isolated from the leaves of this plant on HeLa and Raji cell-line, as representative of different kind of cancer cells. Results showed that protein fraction isolated from the leaves of Mirabilis jalapa L was more cytotoxic to HeLa cell-line (LC50: 0.65 mg/ml) than to Raji cell-line (1.815 mg/ml) on 48 hours incubation time. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the death of HeLa cells caused by the protein fraction was due to induction of apoptosis, while on Raji cell-line was due to non-apoptosis way, presumably via necrosis.

Purpose : This study was undertaken to evaluate the inhibitory effects of Arisaematis rhizoma on the cell proliferation in HeLa cells. Methods : The cultured cell after treatment in the different duration in 24, 48, 72 hours with solution of 1%. 5%, 10% Arisaematis rhizoma was quantified by trypan blue exclusin method. The control group was treated with 2% FBS in the different duration in 24, 48, 72 hours. We examined DNA of activated caspase by FACS analysis, caspase-3 activity, DNA fragmentation by DNA laddering, activity of HeLa Cells by the XTT assay, activity of MAP kinase by RT-PCR analysis. Results : After 72 hours culture, the growth activities of 1%, 5%, 10% Arisaematis rhizoma-treated Hela cell were significantly reduced with control group, respectively. After 24 hours culture, the ratio of cells showing caspase activity by FACS analysis were increased in 1%, 5%, 10% Arisaematis rhizoma-treated Hela cell. It were also increased in 48 hours culture of 10% and 72 hours culture of 5%, 10% Arisaematis rhizoma-treated Hela cell. In 24, 48 and 72 hours culture, DNA fragmentations of 5%, 10% Arisaematis rhizoma-treated Hela cell were obviously observed. These results meaned that Arisaematis rhizoma induces apoptosis of HeLa cells. It was supported by increased caspase-3 activity and decreased MAP kinase activity according to time periods and concentrations of Arisaematis rhizoma solution. Conclusion : The study shows that Arisaematis rhizoma has inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and induction capacity of apoptosis of human cevical carcinoma cell line, HeLa cells, in vitro. These results suggest that Arisaematis rhizoma should be useful for treatment of human cevical carcinoma.

Purpose : To address the ability of Olibanum to induce cell death, we investigated the effect of olibanum on cell apoptosis. Twenty-four hours later, apoptosis occurred following olibanum exposure in a dose-dependent manner. Methods : We culture HeLa cell which is human metrocarcinoma cell in D-MEM included 10% fetal bovine serum(Hyclone Laboratories) below $37^{\circ}C$, 5% CO2. Then we observed apoptosis of log phage cell which is changed cultivation liquid 24 Hours periodically. Results : The treatment of BAPTA-AM regulated olibanum-induced apoptosis in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. The 24 hr-earlier -thapsigargin-pretreated cell showed the resistance against olibanum-induced apoptosis and the Ru360-mitochondrial uniporter-inhibited olibanum-induced apoptosis, too. It means that olibanum leads to the accumulation of calcium and the resultant apoptosis in HeLa cells. Immunoblotting data also shows that the expression of GRP78, ER stress marker protein, was induced by the olibanum. Bcl-2, anti-apototic protein, was decreased and that the expression of Bax, pro-apoptotic protein, was increased by the addition of olibanum. Interestingly, the olibanum increased the activity of caspase-8 as well as calpain cysteine pretense in HeLa cervical carcinoma cells. Calpain inhibitor-calpastatin as well as caspase-8C/A expression abrogated olibanum-induced apoptosis in the carcinoma cells. The inhibition of caspase-8 regulated olibanum-induced calpain activation but the inhibition of calpain did not have any effect on the caspase-8 activation in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. Conclusion : We conclude that olibanum induces the accumulation of calcium and the resultant apoptosis in which caspase-8 and calpain are involved.

셀 카운팅은 세포의 성장을 분석하는 방법으로써 생물학연구에서 가장 많이 사용된다. 최근까지도 다양한 자동 셀 카운팅 기법이 제안되고 있지만 암세포와 같이 분열 속도가 빠르고 군집하려는 성질을 갖는 세포들은 분리 및 검출이 쉽지 않아 세포 이미지 분석을 통하여 셀 카운팅의 신뢰도를 높이기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 암 연구의 연구재료로 매우 보편적으로 사용되는 HeLa 세포 이미지 분석을 이용한 자동 셀 카운팅 방법을 제시한다. 세포막 추출 기반의 세포 분할 알고리즘을 통하여 세포의 형태적 상황을 구분하고, 세포 간 경계가 희미한 세포군집 내의 세포 분할을 위하여 역추적 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 셀 카운팅 정확도를 높인다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 세포 분할 알고리즘이 기존의 세포 분할 알고리즘에 비해 정확함을 입증하였고, 결과적으로 매우 높은 자동 셀 카운팅 정확도를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.
