Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : Bone homeostasis is maintained by balance of bone formation and resorption. Therefore, bone related diseases arose by disturbance of this balance between osteoblast and osteoclast activities. To develop a successful screening system the therapeutic components based on oriental medicine is essential to set up systematic approach for that purpose. The purpose of this study is to the know the gene expression using cDNA microarray assay.
Methods : Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herbal-acupuncture extract was prepared by boiling. human osteosarcoma cells(HOS) were treated with Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herbal-acupuncture solution. Then mRNA was extracted and cDNA microarray assay was performed.
Results : Human osteosarcoma cells(HOS) treated with Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herbal-acupuncture solution(500㎍/㎖) showed that thioredoxin, TAFII31 and two novel genes were increased. However many genes decreased their expression by Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herbal-acupuncture.
Conclusions : This type of approach will give a good chance to explore the favorable effects of Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herbal-acupuncture. Futher study is needed for investigating the effect of Cervi Pantotricuhum Cornu Herbal-acupuncture.
