Daphnia magna is used as target organism for environmental metabolomics. The metabolome of D. magna was studied with NMR spectroscopy. Most studies used the extract of D. magna, but the reproducibility cannot be obtained using extracted sample. In this study, lyophilized D. magna samples were analyzed with two different ¹H NMR techniques, HR-MAS on intact tissues and solution NMR on extracted tissues. Samples were measured three times using 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. Metabolite extraction required more than twice as many D. magna, but the metabolite intensity was lower in solution NMR. In the spectra of HR-MAS NMR, the lipid signal was observed, but they did not interfere with metabolite profiling. We also confirmed the effect of swelling time on signal intensities of metabolites in HR-MAS NMR, and the results suggest that appropriate swelling should be used in lyophilized D. magna to improve the accuracy of metabolite profiles.

Metabolomics is a field that studies systematic dynamics and secretion of metabolites from cells to understand biological pathways based on metabolite changes. The metabolic profiling of intact human colorectal tissues was performed using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy, which was unnecessary to extract metabolites from tissues. We used two different groups of samples, which were defined as normal and cancer, from 9 patients with colorectal cancer and investigated the samples in NMR experiments with a water suppression pulse sequence. We applied target profiling and multivariative statistical analysis to the analyzed 1D NMR spectra to identify the metabolites and discriminate between normal and cancer tissues. Cancer tissue showed higher levels of arginine, betaine, glutamate, lysine, taurine and lower levels of glutamine, hypoxanthine, isoleucine, lactate, methionine, pyruvate, tyrosine relative to normal tissue. In the OPLS-DA (orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis), the score plot showed good separation between the normal and cancer groups. These results suggest that metabolic profiling of colorectal cancer could provide new biomarkers.

본 연구는 생체 외 $^1H$ 고분해능 매직앵글스핀닝($^1H$ High-Resolution Magic Angle Spinning; $^1H$ HR MAS) 기술을 이용하여 정상군 adult mice의 뇌에서의 부위별 뇌 신경화학 대사물질(brain neurochemical metabolites)을 정량적으로 분석하고, 이를 이용하여 정상군의 뇌 대사물질의 표준 data base를 정립하기 위함이다. 실험에 사용된 adult mice는 C57BL/6J 모델의 체중 25~28 g, 40주령 수컷 10마리를 사용하였으며, 연령과 성별을 일치시켰다. 또한 뇌의 전두엽(frontal cortex), 측두엽(temporal cortex), 해마(hippocampus), 시상(thalamus) 총 4개의 부위를 채취하여 생체 외 $^1H$ 고분해능 매직앵글 스핀닝 실험을 진행 하였다. 생체 조직의 뇌 대사물질의 절대농도를 획득하기 위하여 대표적인 대사물질(Ace, NAA, NAAG, tCr, Cr, tCho, Cho, mIns, GPC+PC, Lac, GABA, Glu, Gln, tau, Ala)을 각 피크의 면적과 대사물질의 프로톤 개수를 계산하였다. 결과적으로 정상 군에서의 mice 뇌의 신경화학 대사물질들을 Acet, NAA, NAAG, Cho, mIns가 부위별로 절대농도차의 유의성을 나타내었으며, 이 외의 대사물질에서는 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 $^1H$ HR-MAS을 이용한 생체조직 실험은 뇌조직 내 대사물질의 절대농도를 측정하고 기본적인 지표를 확보하는데 매우 정확하고 정량적인 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 더 나아가 mice를 이용한 인간질병 모델의 실험동물에서의 뇌 신경화학 대사물질의 표준 자료화 하는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

AgNPs (silver nanoparticles) has been widely used for the commercial products, which have antimicrobial agent, medical devices, food industry and cosmetics. Despite, AgNPs have been reported as toxic to the mammalian cell, lung, liver, brain and other organs and many researchers have investigated the toxicity of AgNPs. In this study, we investigated toxicity of the AgNPs to the liver cell using metabolomics based on HRMAS NMR (High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) technics, which could apply to the intact tissues or cells, to avoid the sample destruction. Target profiling and multivariative statistical analysis were performed to analyze the 1D $^1H$ spectrum. The results show that the concentrations of many metabolites were affected by the AgNPs in the liver cell. The concentrations of glutathione (GSH), lactate, taurine, and glycine were decreased and most of amino acids, choline analogues, and pyruvate were increased by the AgNPs. Moreover, the levels of the metabolites were recovered upto similar level of metabolites in the normal cell by the pre-treatment of NAC, external antioxidant. The results suggest that the depletion of the GSH by the AgNPs might induce the conversion of lactate and taurine to the pyruvate.

본 연구에서는 나노크기의 실리카 입자를 2차 아미노기를 가지는 dipodal 형태의 실란커플링제인 bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine(BTPED)으로 표면 개질한 후, 실리카에 도입되는 2차 아미노기인 N-H기와 마이클 부가 반응이 가능한 acrylate기를 가지는 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate(AHM)로 표면 처리를 하여 중합 반응성 methacrylate기를 도입하는 연구를 수행하였다. 1 분자에 2차 아미노기를 2개 가지는 BTPED와 마이클 부가 반응성이 있는 acrylate기와 부가 반응성이 없는 methacrylate기를 각각 1개씩 가지는 AHM을 사용하여 BTPED와 AHM의 투입량 및 개질 반응 시간의 변화가 실리카 표면의 methacrylate기 도입에 미치는 영향을 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), elemental analysis(EA)와 액체 및 고체 상태 cross polarization magic angle spinning(CP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR)법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 실리카 표면에 BTPED 를 도입하는 반응은 1시간 내에, BTPED로 개질된 실리카의 N-H기에 대한 AHM의 acrylate기와의 마이클 부가 반응에 따른 methacrylate기 도입은 2시간 내에 반응이 각각 완결됨을 확인하였다. 또한 BTPED로 개질된 실리카에 대하여 투입되는 AHM의 몰 비가 증가할수록 N-H기와 acrylate기의 마이클 부가 반응으로 인한 methacrylate기의 도입이 증가하였으며 이는 AHM을 도입했을 때 나타나는 FTIR 스펙트럼의 C=O 피크 면적 변화로 확인하였다. 위의 결과를 EA 및 고체 상태 $^{13}C$ 및 $^{29}Si$ NMR 분석으로도 확인하였다.

The acid and bile tolerance changes of 5 different lactic acid bacteria (LAB; Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus debruekii) with gamma irradiation were evaluated. The abilities of LAB to survive in the acidic conditions at the stomach and the bile acidic conditions at the beginning of the small intestine are the key functions for applying LAB to probiotics. In the results, all of LAB survived more than 50% after incubation in PBS (pH 2.5) for 2 hr, which indicated more than half of LAB are possible to pass through the stomach. However, gamma irradiation decreased the acid tolerances of LAB. The bile tolerances of all bacteria except Lactobacillus acidophilus were observed to survive at a 3% oxgall concentration in MRS, and 1 kGy of gamma irradiation to LAB did not affect any bile tolerances changes. But gamma irradiated Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus casei (3 kGy) showed decreasing survival rate with oxgall added MAS agar. In conclusion, gamma irradiation should be applied to yogurt or fermented foods with care because LAB could be changes their properties on acid and bile tolerances.
