Abstract

To develop human risk assessment protocols, we explored housekeeping gene and cytokine expression in mouse spleen cells using Rt-PCR. We normalized housekeeping gene expression by RT-PCR; gene expression was highly uniform in potato leafs and mouse spleen cells. We measured the expression of frequently used housekeeping genes, such as those encoding APRT, $\beta$-tubulin, Actin, Hsp 20.2, Cyclophilin, 18S RNA, Efla, Tbp, GAPDH, $\beta$-actin, Tuba2, Hprt, Cyclophlin A, Tfrc, and RPL13A in mice fed GM or non-GM potatoes. Housekeeping gene expression did not show any significant differences between GM and non-GM potato-fed mice. The murine model of potato-fed mice did not express IL-4 and IL-13 at a significant levels.

GM 및 non-GM 감자의 인체 위해성 여부를 판단하기 위하여 마우스 비장세포에서 인터루킨과 housekeeping gene의 발현을 RT-PCR로 비교 분석하였다. 유전자변형 감자의 잎과 이를 섭취한 마우스의 비장세포에서 발현되는 housekeeping gene의 발현을 수행한 결과, APRT, $\beta$-tubulin, Actin, Hsp 20.2, Cyclophilin, 18S RNA and Efla, and Tbp, GAPDH, $\beta$-actin, Tuba2, Hprt, Cyclophlin A, Tfrc, and RPL13A의 발현에는 유전자 변형 감자와 그렇지 않은 감자와의 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. GM작물의 안전성에 대한 연구는 많은 표본을 가지고, 보다 장기적인 관점에서 다양한 모니터링 시스템을 도입이 필요하다고 판단되며 이의 향후 연구에 많은 관심이 필요하다.
