  • Objectives: In order to identify the possibility of slender bitterling (SB) (Acheilognathus yamatsutae) being used as a test species for estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDCs), we carried out the cloning and sequence characterization of the estrogen receptor (ER). Methods: The ER from a slender bitterling was obtained by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), 5'- and 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (5'-RACE and 3'-RACE) and T-vector cloning. The expression of ER mRNA was also analyzed in six tissues (brain, liver, kidney, gill, gonad, and intestines) by real-time PCR. Results: We obtained an ER from the slender bitterling. The SB ER cDNA was 2189 base pairs (bp) in length and contained a 1707 bp open reading frame that encoded 568 amino acid residues. The SB ER amino acid sequence clustered in a monophyletic group with the $ER{\alpha}$ of other fish, and was more closely related to zebrafish $ER{\alpha}$(88% identity) than to the $ER{\alpha}$ of other fish. The SB ER cDNA was divided into A/B, C, D, E and F domains. The SB ER has conserved important sequences for ER functions, such as the DNA binding domain (D domain), which are consistent with those of other teleosts. Conclusions: The ER of the slender bitterling could provide basic information in toxicological studies of EEDCs in the slender bitterling.

  • White organic light emitting devices were fabricated to improve the stability through a structural change using the two peak emission method. The fabricated devices were composed of indium tin oxide (100 nm)/ $\alpha$-NPD (30 nm)/4,40-bis(2,20-diphenylvinyl)-1,10-biphenyl (DPVBi, d: variable)/DPVBi: Rubrene (40 nm)/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(5 nm)/ $Alq_3$(5 nm)/ Al (100 nm). A DPVBi for blue emissions was used as the host material in the emitters. The doping concentration of the Rubrene was fixed at 2.0% (by weight). The white emission with Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.3342, 0.3439) occurred at 14 V with a thickness d of 1 nm. It was insensitive to the drive voltage, and the devices had a maximum luminance of $211\;cd/cm^2$. At 19 V, the current density and maximum external quantum efficiency were $173\;mAcm^2$ and 0.478%, respectively.

  • The aerial parts of garland (Chrysanthemum coronarium L.) were extracted in 80% aqueous methanol (MeOH) and the concentrated extract was then partitioned using ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and $H_2O$, successively. EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions resulted in 4 glycerides with the application of octadecyl silica gel and silica gel column chromatography. The chemical structures of the glycerides were determined using several spectroscopic methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) as (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (1), (2S)-1-O-oleoyl-2-O-oleoyl- 3-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (2), (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-linoleoyl-3-O-phosphorouscholine-sn-glycerol (3), and (2S)-1-O-linolenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-[$\alpha$-D-galactopyrasyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-$\beta$-D-galactopyranosyl]-sn-glycerol (4). The free fatty acids of these glycerides were determined with gas chromatography (GC)-MS analysis following alkaline hydrolysis and methylation. These glycerides demonstrated an inhibitory effect on acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT, compound 1: $45.6{\pm}0.2%$ at $100{\mu}g/mL$), diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, compound 1: $59.1{\pm}0.1%$ at $25{\mu}g/mL$), farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase, compound 2: $98.0{\pm}0.1%$; compound 3: $55.2{\pm}0.1%$ at $100{\mu}g/mL$), and $\beta$-secretase ($IC_{50}$, compound 4: $2.6{\mu}g/mL$) activity. This paper is the first report on the isolation of these glycerides from garland and their inhibitory activity on ACAT, DGAT, FPTase, and $\beta$-secretase.

  • 본 연구는 분유모델시스템에 $\small{L}$-carnitine, pyridoxine hydrochloride, $\small{DL}$-${\alpha}$-tocopheryl acetate를 첨가하여 Maillard 반응에 의해 생성된 MRPs를 저감화 시키기 위한 최적조건을 찾기 위해 RSM의 CCD를 이용하였다. $\small{L}$-Carnitine ($X_1$), pyridoxine hydrochloride($X_2$), $\small{DL}$-${\alpha}$-tocopheryl acetate ($X_3$)의 농도를 독립변수로 하고 형광도와 HMF 함량을 종속변수로 각각 설정하였다. 종속변수 회귀식의 결정계수($R^2$)는 각각 0.942, 0.861로 반응표면분석 모델에 적합하였다. 형광도와 HMF 함량은 $\small{L}$-carnitine과 pyridoxine hydrochloride의 농도가 낮을 때 $\small{DL}$-${\alpha}$-tocopheryl acetate의 농도가 감소할수록 그 값이 급격히 감소하였다. $\small{L}$-Carnitine의 농도가 높을 때 pyridoxine hydrochloride의 농도가 $20{\mu}M$ 이하로 감소할수록 형광도가 감소하였고 HMF 함량은 $\small{L}$-carnitine의 농도에 관계없이 pyridoxine hydrochloride의 농도가 $20{\mu}M$ 이하로 감소할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 본 실험에서 분유모델시스템에서 생성된 MRPs를 저감화 할 수 있는 최적조건으로 $\small{L}$-carnitine, pyridoxine hydrochloride, $\small{DL}$-${\alpha}$-tocopheryl acetate의 농도는 각각 2.26, 15.77, $20.63{\mu}M$이었다. 이때 형광도는 77.4%였고 HMF 함량은 248.7 ppb로 각각 유단백질-유당 마이얄 반응생성물(LC, lactose+sodium caseinate)대비 MRPs를 22.6, 23.1% 감소시킬 수 있다고 예측할 수 있었다. 또한, RSM을 통해 찾은 최적 조건의 실험값으로 형광도는 79.3%였고 HMF 함량은 247.6 ppb로 각각 LC대비 MRPs를 20.7, 17.8% 감소 시켰다. 따라서, $\small{L}$-carnitine, pyridoxine hydrochloride, $\small{DL}$-${\alpha}$-tocopheryl acetate의 최적화된 혼합을 통하여 분유 제조 시 MRPs 생성을 저감화 시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 본 연구는 냉간가공과 열처리를 통해 Cu-26.65Zn-4.05Al-0.31Ti(wt%) 형상기억합금의 결정립을 미세화하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 냉간가공을 위하여는 α-상이 가능한 많이 존재하는 (α+β)-조직을 가져야 하는데, 이는 550℃에서 열처리함으로써 얻었고, 최종두께 1mm로 냉간압연하였다. 총 압연율은 70%와 90%이었다. 냉간압연한 판재를 800℃에서 가열 후 급랭함으로써 형상기억특성을 갖는 상으로 변태시켰으며, 이 대 결정립크기를 측정한 결과, 열간압연한 경우보다 냉간압연과 열처리를 한 경우의 결정립이 월등히 작아졌음을 보여주었다. 냉간압연과 열처리를 한 경우에는 냉간압연 변형율이 큰 경우가 결정립이 더 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 또한 결정립크기가 작아짐에 따라 변태온도가 저하되었으며 오스테나이트상이 더 안정하게 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. In this study, cold-rolling and appropriate annealing was adopted for the grain refining of Cu-26.65Zn-4. 05Al-0.31Ti(wt%) shape memory alloy. For the cold deformation of this alloy the ducti1e α-phase must be contained. After heat treatment at 550℃ the (α+β)-dual phase with 40vol.% α-phase was obtained which could be rolled at room temperature. This alloy was cold rolled into a final thickness of 1.0mm with total reduction degrees of 70% and 90%. The rolled sheets were betanized at 800℃ for various times, then quenched into ice water. The grain size of co]d rolled samples were 60∼80 ㎛ which is much smaller comparing with the hot-rolled samples. And the 90% rolled sample showed smaller grain size than the case of the 70% rolled one. The small grain size had influence on the phase transformation temperatures and stabilization of the austenitic phases.

  • Since vitamin $D_3$ is an important regulator of osteoblastic differentiation, a presently-established vitamin $D_3$-entrapped calcium phosphate film (VCPF) was evaluated for hard tissue engineering. The entrapped vitamin $D_3$ more rapidly induced bone nodule formation. To characterize the cellular events leading to regulations including faster differentiation, signal transduction pathways were investigated in osteoblastic MG63 cells at a molecular level. Major signaling pathways for MG63 cell proliferation including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase and focal adhesion kinase pathways were markedly down-regulated when cells were cultured on calcium phosphate film (CPF) and VCPF. This agreed with our earlier observations of the immediate delay in proliferation of MG63 cells upon culture on CPF and VCPF. On the other hand, the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and protein kinase A (PKA) pathways were significantly up-regulated on both CPF and VCPF. CPF alone could simulate differential behaviors of MG63 cells even in the absence of osteogenic stimulation and entrapment of vitamin $D_3$ within CPF further amplified the signal pathways, resulting in continued promotion of MG63 cell differentiation. Interplay of p38 MAPK and PKA signaling pathways likely is a significant event for the promotion of differentiation and mineralization of MG63 cells.

  • 연구배경 : 종양괴사인자(tumor necrosis factor ; TNF)는 다양한 생물학적 기능을 가지고 있는바, 그 중 생체외에서 증명된 뚜렷한 항암효과로 말미암아 최근 항암유전자요법의 중요한 대상으로 관심을 모으고 있다. 그러나 유전자 이입의 기술적 문제로 생체외에서 암세포에 유전자 이입을 시행한 후 이를 다시 환자의 생체내로 이식하는 방법이 연구의 주종을 이루고 있다. 그러나 저지들의 과거의 연구를 포함한 여러 연구에서 TNF가 이입된 암세포는 TNF에 대해 내성을 보이는 것으로 증명되었다. 이 획득내성의 기전을 밝히는 것이 종양생물학의 이해를 넓히고 보다 효과적인 항암유전자 요법을 개발하기 위한 매우 중요한 과제로 생각된다. 저자들은 TNF 유전자 이입에 따른 암세포의 TNF에 대한 획득 내성에 새로운 방어단백질의 합성이 관여하는 지를 규명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 방 법 : TNF에 감수성을 보이는 생쥐 섬유육종 세포주인 WEHI164에 TNF-$\alpha$ 유전자를 retroviral vector를 이용하여 이입하고 TNF의 발현을 시도하여 PCR, ELISA, MTT assay로 확인하였고, TNF 유전자가 이입된 세포(WEHI164-TNF)는 TNF에 내성을 보이는지 역시 MTT assay로 검증하였다. WEHI164-TNF세포를 transcription 억제제인 actinomycin D와 translation 억제제인 cycloheximide로 처리한 후 역시 MTT assay로 TNF에 대한 감수성에 변화를 보이는지 확인하였다. 결 과 : 1) TNF-$\alpha$ 유전자 이업 및 발현 확인 PCR을 시행한 결과 TNF 유전자가 이입된 WEHI164-TNF 세포주는 790 base pair 크기의 진한 DNA band를 보인 반면 모세포주는 보이지 않아서 retroviral vector를 이용한 유전자 이입이 DNA 수준에서 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 WEHI164-TNF의 배양상층액에서 TNF양을 ELISA와 MTT assay로 측정한 결과, 생물학적 활성을 지닌 TNF를 $10.9{\pm}1.47ng/24hr/10^6cells$ 생산함을 알 수 있었다. 2) TNF 유전자 이입 전후, 암세포의 TNF에 대한 감수성 비교 TNF 농도 100ng/ml 에서 모세포는 $73{\pm}5%$의 세포독성을 보인 반면 WEHI164-TNF 세포는 $3{\pm}2%$의 세포독성을 보여 통계적으로 유의하게 (p < 0.00) TNF에 대한 내성을 획득함을 알 수 있었다. 3) TNF 유전자 이입 후 획득된 TNF에 대한 내성의 기전 WEHI164-TNF 세포를 actinomycin D로 처리한 경우 TNF 농도 10ng/ml과 100ng/ml에서 각각 $24{\pm}7%$, $44{\pm}6%$의 세포독성을 보여 control의 $6{\pm}2%$, $17{\pm}2%$보다 통계적으로 유의하게(p < 0.01) TNF에 대한 감수성이 부분적으로 회복됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 cycloheximide로 처리한 경우에서는 TNF에 대한 감수성에 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 결 론 : TNF에 감수성을 보이는 암세포주인 WEHI164에 TNF 유전자를 이입하여 TNF를 발현하게 하였을 때 그 세포 자신은 TNF에 대해 내성을 획득하게되며 이에는 미지의 방어단백질의 합성이 일부 관여할 것으로 판단된다.
