The organotypic raft culture model has been shown to be a useful method for examining the effects of biochemical manipulation on various epithelial cell types, using in vitro conditions that simulate the in vivo environment of the tissue of origin. To investigate this method as a model for photodynamic therapy (PDT), we cultures the oral squamous carcinoma cell line YD-10B on fibroblast-containing collagen gels at the air-liquid interface and assessed the efficacy of PDT using a photosensitiser 5-ALA-hexenyl ester. PDT effect on YD-10B organotypic raft cultures after twenty- four hours was determined. The number of residual cells was significantly reduced in comparison to control at all four different conditions. PCNA immunostaining and TUNEL assay revealed that PDT inhibited cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. These findings suggest that the organotypic raft culture model provides an effective and rapid laboratory method of investigating strategies for PDT on oral precancerous lesions and squamous cell carcinomas

The transcription factor nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) plays an important role in regulating cell growth, apoptosis, and metastatic functions. Constitutive activation of NF-KB has been observed in various cancers; however, molecular mechanisms resulting in such activation remain elusive. Numerous evidences showed that over expression of TGase 2 might be linked with constitutive activation of NF-KB. To understand the pathways responsible for constitutive activation of NF-kB is important for rational design of NF-kB inhibitors for cancer therapy. Human salivary gland adenocarcinoma has been most aggressive solid tumors. Current therapy does not significantly improve survival rates. Thus, to investigate new therapeutic modalities against this adenocarcinoma is necessary. The purpose of this study was to study a constitutive activation of NF-kB with the expression of TG2 in SGT cell line origianted from human salivary gland adenocarcinoma by TGase 2 activity, RT-PCR and immunoslot blotting method. SGT cell line showed the highest TGase 2 activity and NF-kB activation than any other cell line. All the cell lines showed increased NF-kB mRNA activation after A231027 treatment than that of control. In immunoslot blotting, SGT cell line showed NF-kB activation correlated with TGase 2 expression after A231027 and BSA. It suggested that there might be a direct correlation between TGase 2 expression and NF-kB activation in SGT cell line.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide. It is generally thought that adjuvant chemotherapy provides modest prolongation of survival in various carcinoma. Docetaxel (Taxotere, TXT) play a significant role in the treatment of various solid tumors of epithelial origin. CsA (immunosuppressive drug) was widely used as adjunct for the treatment of cancer. Thus, it is important to pursue the apoptosis of IHOK and oral SCC induced by TXT combined with CsA related to the pathogenesis of oral SCC. But TXT combined CsA effect on IHOK and oral SCC remains unclear. After cultured IHOK and HN 22 oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line treated by 10 nM TXT and 1 μM, and caspase inhobitor, respectively, apoptosis index, cytochrome c and caspase-3 -8, -9 mRNA expression by RT-PCR, and procaspase-3 protein amount by immunoslot blotting was prepared. The purpose of this study were to examine the TXT-induced apoptosis pathway via caspase activation by CsA enhancement, and to apply these results to an effective therapeutic treatment plan for oral SCC by TXT combined CsA . 10 nM TXT showed about 60%, 55% celluar apoptosis of IHOK and HN 22, cell line, respectively, while CsA alone did not induce apoptosis in IHOK and HN 22 cell line. 1 μM CsA combined with 10 nM TXT increased apoptosis in IHOK and HN 22 cell line through caspase-3 and cytochrome c mRNA expression, while could not effect on caspase-8 and -9. Caspase inhibitor suppressed apoptosis of IHOK and HN 22 cell line induced by a combination of 1 μM CsA and 10 nM TXT. Immnoslot blotting showed procaspase-3 activation by a combination 1 μM CsA and 10 nM TXT, while caspase inhibitor inhibited activation. It suggested that a combination of CsA and TXT might induce increased apoptosis of IHOK and HN 22 oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line through caspase-3 activation. This treatment with a combination of TXT and CsA may be an effective therapeutic strategy for oral squamous cell carcinoma

Candida albicans and their associated Candida species are opportunistic pathogens which exists as normal flora in the oral cavities of healthy individuals. In response to physiological changes in the host, these yeasts can become pathogenic, resulting in oral candidiasis. The rapid detection and identification of Candida species in clinical laboratories are extremely important for the management of patients with hematogenous candidiasis. The presently available culture and biochemical methods for detection and species identification of Candida are time-consuming and lack the required sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we have established a seminested PCR (snPCR) using universal and species-specific primers for detection of Candida species in saliva. The universal outer primers amplified the 3end of 5.8S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and the 5end of 28S rDNA, including the internally transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2), generating 350- to 410-bp fragments from the four commonly encountered Candida spp., viz., C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, and C. parapsilosis. The saliva from 331 healthy and, over 50 years of aged people lived in Dong-gu, Gwangu city, was collected. Total DNA were extracted by Hoffman-Winston yeast total DNA prep. method and performed t he s nP CR. R esults appeared to b e negative on 292 people ( 88.2%), however, 2 6 people ( 7.9%) were p ositive Candida albicans, 6 people (1.8%) were positive Candida glabrata, 5 people (1.5%) were positive Candida tropicalis, and only 2 person (0.6%) were positive Candida parapsilosis. These result showed that detection and identification of Candida species could be established by saliva analysis, so that snPCR on saliva is useful method of diagnosis of clinical fields

The pattern of wound healing process differs markedly according to the cell types. Gingival wounds heal more rapidly without scar, however dermal wounds show collagen laid down in thick disorganized patterns and keloid formation. This h as b een s uggested t o be d ue t o the presence of d ifferent E C M components a nd c ytokines a s well a s growth factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the differential expression of genes in connection with keloid formation in gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) and dermal fibroblasts (hDFs) in response to inflammation. In this study, we investigated the differences between hGFs and hDFs in the expression and production of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), prostaglandins E2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, collagens, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) which play important roles in collagen deposition in wound healing. The hGFs and hDFs were primary cultured and allocated to arachidonic acid (AA) treatment group and control group. Protein and mRNA were extracted right after (0 hr) and 24 hr after AA treatment. At a defined concentration of AA in hGFs and hDFs, MTT assay was performed. The mRNA and protein expression levels of COX-2, TGF-β, collagen 1 and 3, MMP 1 and TIMP 1 were examined by Real-time PCR and Western blots. The amounts of PGE2 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression of COX-2 and TGF-β exhibited reduced levels in hGFs , but were increased in hDFs at 24 hr after AA treatment. Production of PGE2 was increased in hGFs and hDFs at right after AA treatment but, not changed at 24 hr after AA treatment. The protein and mRNA expression of collagen 1 and 3 were decreased in hGFs , whereas increased in hDFs at 24 hr AA treatment. Expression of MMP-1 protein was increased in hGFs at 24 hr but, was decreased in hDFs at 24 hr compared with that of control. The protein expression of TIMP-1 was decreased in hGFs but, was increased in hDFs at 24 hr compared with that of control. These observations demonstrate differential expression between gingival and dermal fibroblasts in regulation of collagenolytic capacity by extracellular matrix-associated genes in keloid formation associated with wound repair.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare clinicopathologic disorder characterized by proliferation of histiocyte- like cells (langerhans cell histiocytes) accompanied by varying other inflammatory cells. LCH commonly involves the oral and maxillofacial region, but is very rarely seen. Then LCH has made it difficult to investigate the clinical and histological aspects. We investigated LCH of oral and maxillofacial region and analyzed clinical and histological characteristics. We reviewed the records of all patients who were diagnosed as LCH, retrospectively. Data included patient’s age, sex, chief complaint, clinical diagnoses, radiologic and histologic reports, and clinical course. We analyzed clinical and histological characteristics. From 2000 to 2007, 8 patients were diagnosed as LCH. 7 were children and 1 was adult. All cases involved mandible. Clinical type of all cases were“eosinophilic granuloma”. 6 cases were classified as“unifocal disease”and 2 cases were“multifocal single system diseases”. Microscopic findings commonly showed numerous histiocytes with eosinophilic cytoplasm (langerhans histiocytes). In 6 cases, immunohistochemical study was accomplished and confirmed the diagnosis of LCH. 6 cases were cured and not recurred, and 2 cases had loss of follow- up. Unifocal disease type of LCH may arise in Korean people more frequently than in western people (75% Vs 49%). Therefore, the higher frequency of unifocal disease of LCH is expected to raise the cure rate and to improve patient prognosis in Korean patients with LCH.
