Although significant progress has been made in the surgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma as well as in the detection of early stage esophageal carcinoma by diagnostic techniques, the prognosis of the esophageal carcinoma patients remain poor. The p53 gene product is known to regulate cell growth and proliferation. And the nm23 gene was identified originally as an anti-metastatic influence whose expression was correlated inversely with tumor metastatic potential in murine melanoma cell lines. This experiment was intended to know the relationship among the p53 and nm23 gene expression versus clinicopahologic characteristics of the esophageal cancer. Total 40 cases were collected from patients who had undergone esophagectomy at St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic university of Korea. Immunohistochemical stain for p53 mutant-type protein and nm23 protein was graded as <10% positive tumor cells: negative; 10∼30% positive tumor cells: ＋ ; 30∼50% positive tumor cells: ＋＋, and >50% positive tumor cells: ＋＋＋. The tumor invasion was grades as none:－ ; mild:＋ ; moderate:＋＋ ; severe: ＋＋＋. Overexpression of p53 protein and nm23 was not associated with the survival and cliniocopathologic characteristics of the esophageal cancer. Moreover, the combination analysis of p53 and nm23 revealed that there was no relationship between the gene expression and the clinicopatholic characteristics of the esophageal cancer.

In order to determine whether the tumor-inducing iridoviruses and the mortality-associated iridoviruses from cultured marine fish in Korea belong to same type, we compared the immunological characteristics of these viruses. The electrophoretical pattern of structural proteins of the tumor-inducing was different from that of the mortality-associated iridoviruses. The antigenicity of structural proteins of these viruses were identified by Western blotting using two monoclonal antibodies against tumor-inducing iridovirus. Two monoclonal antibodies recognized a 150 kDa structural protein of tumor-inducing iridoviruses showed. However, the structural proteins of the mortality-associated iridoviruses did not react with these monoclonal antibodies. These results demonstrate that the antigenicity of the structural proteins of tumor-inducing iridovirus is different from that of mortality-associated iridovirus, indicating that these two iridoviruses belong to different types.

목적： 고형성 종양에 특이적으로 발현하는 MR 분자영상용 조영제의 후보물질을 분자생물학적 방법 및 in vitro 분자영상기법을 이용하여 탐색하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법： 암이 진행됨에 따라 유전자가 과발현되는 세포표면 단백질인 CD44 와 세포막에 존재하는 단백질분해효소의 일종인 MTI-MMP를 일차 선정하여 유전자 수준 및 단백질 수준에서 분자생물학적 방법으로 종양특이성에 대해 검증하였고, 특히 각종 암세포에서 발현양이 증가하는 CD44의 변형인 CD44v6 항체를 이용하여 생세포에서의 표적화에 대한 광학적 검증을 위해 초상자성 나노입자 대신 형광입자(FITC)를 결합하여 confocal microscopy로 실시간 표적화에 대한 분자영상을 획득하였다.

Several proteolytic activities and the level of and-trypsin in neoplastic tissues of human cervix and liver were compared to those in normal tissues to examine if any correlation exists between malignant behavior of the tumors and the changes in overall proteolytic capacity. Proteolysis against casein and insulin in cervix tumor was increased to 2-to 3-fold while that in liver tumor was reduced to one-tenth to one-half. By contrast, the level of anti-trypsin in cervix tumor was lowered to nearly one-tenth of that in normal tissues while the level rose to about 2-fold in malignant tissues of liver. On the other hand, the activities of plasmin-like protease and plasminogen activator were enhanced 10-20% over the activities in normals. These results suggest that the changes in proteolytic capacity are at least in part due to outbalance in either of proteolytic or its inhibitory activity over the other and occur distinctively to each tumor systems for their malignant behavior.

Immunohistochemical stains for RB and p53 tumor suppressor gene products were performed on 72 cases of resected primary lung cancer tissues to study the correlation between their expressions and the histologic types, the clinical stage, and the survival rate. The results were as follows. 1. The RB protein was altered or absent in 38 cases (52.8%), and the mutant p53 protein was detected in 35 cases (48.6%). 2. The incidences of RB and p53 protein expression were significantly different among the histologic types (p＜0.05) but were not correlated with the clinical stages of lung cancer (p＞0.05). 3. The two year survival rate of patients with alteration of both RB and p53 genes (RB-/p53＋) was 22. 4%, and that with no alteration of both genes (RB+/p53-) was 63.1%. This difference was statistically significant (p=0.01). 4. It was shown that alteration of RB protein greatly affects the prognosis of lung carcinoma by multivariate analysis of prognostic factors. The presence or absence of RB and mutant p53 protein in tumor cells is closely related to the survival of primary lung cancer patients, and it is suggested that RB gene expression is an independent prognostic factor of primary lung cancer.

모든 생명체는 유전자의 최종 산물인 다양한 단백질들이 각각의 복잡한 기능을 수행함과 동시에 그들 사이의 긴밀한 상호작용에 의해 생명을 유지한다. 도메인 (Domain)은 단백질의 기능적 단위로서 한 개 단백질은 최대 수십 개의 도메인을 가지는데 이들 도메인에 대한 정보는 단백질의 기능을 예측하는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 종양을 억제하는 기능을 가지는 단백질과 그러한 기능을 가질 것으로 추정되어지는 단백질의 아미노산 서열, 또 기능이 밝혀지지 않은 미지의 아미노산 서열을 가지고 이미 밝혀져 있는 도메인 서열과 비교 검색하여 이들 사이에 일치하는 도메인을 통하여 표적 단백질의 기능 동정에 관한 연구에 도움이 되며, 또한 기능이 밝혀지지 않은 아미노산 서열의 도메인을 검색하여 새로운 기능을 예측함으로써 다른 실험적 방법과 비교하여 시간과 비용을 절약할 수 있는 효과적인 방법을 얻었기에 제안하고자 한다.
