Ku is a protein which act as a repairing enzyme for the DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). It has a heterodimeric structure composed of two subunits, Ku70 and Ku86. The detail mechanism of Ku in DNA repair processes is still not unknown, but it is certain that Ku is a one of key protein in maintenance of chromosomal integrity and cell survival. Recent studies reported that dysfunction of Ku protein is related to the development of radioresistance in case of overexpression of Ku and tumorigenesis with Ku underexpression. As Ku may act as either a tumor suppressor or an oncoprotein, precise regulation of Ku function may be important for the tumor suppression. Ku may be used for the treatment of cancer to resist radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Background: Superior colliculus is a part of midbrain, and participates in the visual reflexes, It receives afferent fibers from optic nerve, visual cortex, and spinotectal tract. After optic deprivation, the microscopic structure of the superior colliculus changed. Calcium-binding proteins (CBPs) Play an important role in the neuronal protection, differentiation and reorganization of the central nervous system, Objectives and Methods: The effects of neonatal retinal deafferentation on a CBPs, calbindm D-28k (CB), Parvalbumin (PB) and calretimn (CR), and the existence of colocalization between the CBPs were examined immunohistochemically in the rat superior colliculus. Results: On the experimental (contralateral to enucleation) side of superior colliculus, the number of CB-immunoreactive (IR) cells was reduced (77.4% compared to control), but not fibers. The number of PB-IR neurons and fibers was also reduced on the experimental side (88.5% compared to control), In the other hand, the CR-IR cells were dramatically increased (642% compared to control), but CR-IR fibers were markedly decreased on the experimental side. The colocalization between CB-CR and PV-CR was rarely observed in the superior colliculus Conclusion: These results suggest that the changes of retinotectal projection may alter the expressional pattern of CBPs in different manners; relatively stable in CB- and PV-IR neurons and plastic in CR-IR neurons.

<P>Diospyros lotus is traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes, diarrhea, tumor, and hypertension. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and underlying molecular mechanisms of myricetin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Myricetin dose-dependently suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory mediators (NO, iNOS, PGE(2), and COX-2) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Myricetin administration decreased the production of NO, iNOS, TNF-, IL-6, and IL-12 in mice. Myricetin decreased NF-B activation by suppressing the degradation of IB, nuclear translocation of p65 subunit of NF-B, and NF-B DNA binding activity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Moreover, myricetin attenuated the phosphorylation of STAT1 and the production of IFN- in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, myricetin induced the expression of HO-1 through Nrf2 translocation. In conclusion, these results suggest that myricetin inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory mediators through the suppression of NF-B and STAT1 activation and induction of Nrf2-mediated HO-1 expression in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>This study analyzed fruit stem extract (MGFE) from Muscat Bailey A grape (<I>Vitis labrusca </I>× <I>Vitis vinifera</I>) for their ameliorative effects on Ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin damage in Balb/c mice. Well established <I>in vivo</I> assays were used to determine the biological effects of MGFE upon UVB irradiation of BALB/c mice. The results showed that treatment with MGFE recovered glutathione depletion, prevented lipid peroxidation of tissues and decreased the expression of DNA repair enzyme oxo guanine glycosylase-1. MGFE recovered the skin conditions in UVB-irradiated Balb/c mice. Moreover, MGFE inhibited dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells and reduced serum tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 levels. Finally, MGFE treatment inhibited UV<B>B</B>-induced melanin formation and collagen fiber destruction through the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-1 expression. Through high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, catechin, epicatechin, and <I>trans</I>-resveratrol were found to be among the main active compounds present in MGFE. Taken together, these results indicated that MGFE has potentials as topical therapeutic materials against skin damage by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Using UVB irradiation, we induced oxidative stress in Balb/c mice skin. </LI> <LI> MGFE recovered skin damages induced by UVB irradiation. </LI> <LI> MGFE has the potential to be a natural candidate agent for the treatment of skin photo damage. </LI> </UL> </P>

<P>Isoegomaketone (IK) is an essential oil component of <I>Perilla frutescens</I> (L.), but the mechanism by which IK induces apoptosis has never been studied. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the IK-induced apoptotic pathway in DLD1 human colon cancer cells. We observed that IK treatment over 24 h significantly inhibited cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. We also found that IK triggered cleavage of PARP. Moreover, IK treatment resulted in cleavage of caspase-8, -9, and -3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. IK treatment also resulted in cleavage of Bid and translocation of Bax, and triggered the release of cytochrome <I>c</I> from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm. Furthermore, it resulted in the translocation of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF), a caspase-independent mitochondrial apoptosis factor, from the mitochondria into the nucleus. Overall, these results suggest that IK induces apoptosis through caspase-dependent and capase-independent pathways in DLD1 cells.</P>

The present study was conducted with the aim to investigate the ameliorative effects of a new soybean product (cheonggukjang) fermented with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SCGB1 (SFBA) in atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Visual evaluation of AD induction in the mice indicated the remarkable control of SFBA in reducing the pathological severity of AD-like skin lesions reported as the SCORAD score of AD clinical symptoms. The results revealed that SFBA reduced dorsal skin and epidermal thickness to a similar extent with prednisolone. Further analysis revealed the dominance of SFBA in restraining mast cell infiltration in the dermis; immunoglobulin-E expression in serum; and TH2 IL-4 cytokine and itch-related IL-31 cytokine in the mice skin and serum. SFBA also suppressed scratching behaviours in mice induced by compound 48/80. Further histological findings also revealed the alleviation of collagen fiber deposition in dermal skin of the AD mice model. These actions of SFBA were examined to be mediated by its suppression of the phosphorylation activation of key signalling molecules such as NF-κB and MAPK responsible for the induction of cytokine production. Thus, SFBA can be considered as a promising functional food for managing clinical, histological and immunological spectra associated with AD.

Chronic pruritus is a symptom that reduces the quality of life of patients with inflammatory skin disease. Persistent activation of astrocytic signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) contributes to the elevation of chronic pruritus. STAT3 activation increases lipocalin-2 (LCN2) expression and enhances pruritus. A 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS) is a type of flavonoid extracted from the seeds of milk thistle. DHS has been reported to have hepatoprotective, angiogenic, and antioxidant effects. In this study, the inhibitory effect of DHS on chronic pruritus was investigated in IL-6-treated astrocytes and chloroquine-injected mice. As a result, DHS prevented STAT3 activation and LCN2 production in IL-6-treated astrocytes. Moreover, DHS inhibited scratching and inhibited the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in chloroquine-injected mice. It also reduced the level of inflammatory cytokines in the mice serum. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that DHS suppressed itch through the STAT3 signaling pathway. Thus our results suggest that DHS can prevent and/or treat chronic itch.

<P>The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms involved in the apoptosis of HeLa cells due to 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS) treatment. DHS treatment over 24 h significantly inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. It also triggered the cleavage of caspase-8, caspase-9, caspase-3, and PARP, and significantly increased caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, it triggered the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential (δψm), the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol, the cleavage of Bid, and the downregulation of Bcl-2 in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, z-VAD-fmk (a pan-caspase inhibitor) and z-IETD-fmk (a specific caspase-8 inhibitor) abolished the DHS-induced activation of the caspase-8, -9, and -3, cleavage of PARP, the depolarization of δψm, the release of cytochrome c, the cleavage of Bid, and the downregulation of Bcl-2. Taken together, these results suggest that DHS-induced apoptosis is mediated by a caspase-dependent pathway in human HeLa cells.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Atopic dermatitis, a chronic relapsing and pruritic inflammation of the skin also thought to be involved in, or caused by immune system destruction is an upsetting health problem due to its continuously increasing incidence especially in developed countries. Mast cell infiltration in atopic dermatitis skin lesions and its IgE-mediated activation releases various cytokines and chemokines that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. This study was aimed at investigating synergistic anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and anti-atopic dermatitis effects of <I>Diospyros lotus</I> leaf extract (DLE) and Muscat bailey A grapefruit stem extract (GFSE) in atopic dermatitis-like induced skin lesions in mice. Combinations of DLE and GFSE inhibited TNF-α and IL-6 production more than DLE or GFSE in PMA plus calcium ionophore A23187-activated HMC-1 cells. DLE and GFSE synergistically inhibited compound 48/80-induced dermal infiltration of mast cells and reduced scratching behavior than DLE or GFSE. Furthermore, DLE and GFSE synergistically showed a stronger ameliorative effect in skin lesions by reducing clinical scores; dermal infiltration of mast cells; ear and dorsal skin thickness; serum IgE and IL-4 production in atopic dermatitis-like mice. Collectively, these results suggest that DLE and GFSE synergistically exhibit anti-atopic dermatitis effects in atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in mice.</P>
