  • I. A Comparison of Sodium Sulfate Precipitation and Zone(Paper, Agar) Electrophoresis; Many kinds of techniques have been used for fractionating serum proteins. In the present study, using bovine serum, the fractions obtained with sodium sulfate were compared with those determined by zone electrophoresis. 1. Fibrinogen was precipitated with 4 to 10 percent of sodium sulfate. 2. ${\gamma}$-globulin required 10 to 16 percent of the salt for precipitation. 3. ${\beta}$-globulin began to precipitate at 12 percent sodium sulfate, and completed precipitation at approximately 26 percent in paper electrophoresis, while at 22 percent in agar electrophoresis. 4. ${\alpha}$-globulin completed precipitation at 13 to 28 percent sodium sulfate in paper electrophoresis and at 22 percent in agar electrophoresis. 5. Albumin began to precipitate at 14 percent of the salt, and was free from the mixture of globulins approximately at 28 percent in paper electrophoresis, while at 22 percent in agar electrophoresis. The results of comparing fractions by the two methods were as follows: 1. Euglobulin (15%) was equal to the sum of the most ${\gamma}$-globulin and a small quantity of the ${\alpha}$-, and ${\beta}$-globulins. 2. Pseudoglobulin I (15-17.5%) corresponded to the most ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-globulins and a small quantity of albumin. 3. Pseudoglobulin II(18-22%) was a mixture of the ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-globulins and albumin fraction. 4. Albumin (above 22%) contained the most albumin fraction separated by zone electrophoresis and a small quantity of the ${\alpha}$-, and ${\beta}$-globulins. As mentioned above the fractions obtained with sodium sulfate were a mixture of the various proportion of the fractions determined by zone electrophoresis. The solubility of serum fractions to sodium sulfate coincided with the mobility of those by zone electrophoresis. (By percent of sodium sulfate we mean gram of sodium sulfate contained in $100m{\ell}$ of solution). II. Immunological Studies on Serum Protein Fractions with Sodium Sulfate; In the previous report the fractions of bovine serum protein with sodium sulfate compared with those obtained by zone electrophoresis, and the findings were that the former contained various proportion components of the latter. In this study the author studied whether or not the fractions with sodium sulfate are simple component antigenically by immunoelectrophoresis and micro double diffusion test (Immuno-precipitation), using rabbit antiserum to bovine serum. In immunoelectrophoresis, normal bovine serum developed with rabbit antibovine serum showed about ten distinct precipitin arcs. The distribution of these arcs was as follows: 1 albumin, 2 ${\alpha}_1$-, 3 ${\alpha}_2$-, 2 ${\beta}_1$-, ${\beta}_2$-, and 1 ${\gamma}$-globulin (Fig. 7, 9). In micro double diffusion test, five to six precipitation bands could be seen between antigens and antibody, the order of the precipitation bands location is albumin, ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, and ${\gamma}$-globulin from the side of antiserum well (Fig.19). Frequently the ${\alpha}$-, and ${\beta}$-precipitation bands were separated into two or three precipitation bands, which indicated that these globuline are not a pure component antigenically as shown in immuno-electrophoresis. In both Immunological methods, the two ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-precipitin arcs and bands appeared clear and strong, indicating that the two globulins reacted as strong antigens. The precipitate reaction of ${\gamma}$-globulin was shown at 12 to 16 percent sodium sulfate; ${\beta}$-globulin at 12 to 20 percent; ${\alpha}$-globulin at 12 to 22 percent (immuno-electrophoresis), at 12 to 26 percent (Diffusion); and albumin at above 22 percent. Antigenically euglobulin contained ${\gamma}$-, ${\beta}$-, and ${\alpha}$-globulins, Pseudoglobulin I and Pseudoglobulin II were composed of ${\alpha}$-, and ${\beta}$-globulins, and albumin was a mixture of ${\alpha}$-globulin and albumin determined by zone electrophoresis. The results indicated that the fractions of serum protein obtained by either method were constituents of various proteins antigenically except ${\gamma}$-globulin and albumin by Zone electrophoresis.

  • Adipogenesis is a complex sequence of events that culminates in the differentiation of fibroblast-like preadipocytes into specialized lipid-filled adipocytes and also involves a cascade of expression of many transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}(PPAR{\gamma})$ and CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs). $PPAR{\gamma}$ and C/EBPs transcriptionally transactivate adipocyte specific genes, including fatty acid transport protein (FAT/CD36) and leptin. To determine whether $17{\beta}$-estradiol modulates $C/EBP{\alpha}$ actions on adipogenesis in high fat diet-fed female ovariectomized (OVX) C57BL/6 mice, mice were treated with $17{\beta}$-estradiol for 7 days and the effects of $17{\beta}$-estradiol on adipose tissue mass and expression of adipocyte specific gene as well as $C/EBP{\alpha}$ were measured. Compared to vehicle-treated OVX control mice, OVX mice treated with $17{\beta}$-estradiol for 7 days had lower adipose tissue weights that were similar to weights in high fat diet-fed sham-operated (Sham) mice. OVX mice showed the increased expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ mRNA compared with Sham mice. However, $17{\beta}$-estradiol treatment in OVX mice inhibited OVX induced-$C/EBP{\alpha}$ activation, indicating that $17{\beta}$-estradiol may act as an inhibitor of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ action. Moreover, $17{\beta}$-estradiol decreased mRNA levels of adipocyte marker genes, such as lipoprotein lipase, FAT/CD36 and leptin, to levels in Sham mice. These results suggest that down-regulation of adipogenesis by $17{\beta}$-estradiol may be due to reduced adipose $C/EBP{\alpha}$ activities in female OVX C57BL/6 mice.

  • 120 heads of korean native calves were examined of serum protein by using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. During 20 days since the calves were purchased, serum protein, fibrinogen values and plasma : fibrinogen ratio were examined in the calves with respiratory and diarrheal disease. The result obtained in this investigation were as follows : 1. Among the 120 heads of calves that were purchased from market, 14 heads(22%) of calves were occurred respiratory disease, and 12 heads(20%) of calves are occurred diarrhea. Occurrence of respiratory disease was 14.5(4~20) days in average and diarrhea was 9.6(2-15) days after they had been purchased. 2. Serum protein fraction were analyzed by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. ${\beta}-globulin$, A/G ratio and ${\beta}_2-globulin$ values were decreased in the calves with respiratory disease. Especially, ${\beta}_2-globulin$ were significantly decreased. In calves with diarrhea, there was no change in ${\beta}-globulin$ values. ${\beta}_2-globulin$ values were higher than that of the normal and respiratory diseased calves. 3. ${\alpha}-globulin$ values were increased in both of calves with diarrhea and respiratory disease. This tendency was due to increase ${\alpha}_2-globulin$ values. 4. The $\gamma$-globulin value of calves with diarrhea was the lowest among the 3 groups. 5. The total protein values of normal calves were $7.0{\pm}1.1g/dl$ and that of respiratory and diarrheal diseased calves were $6.9{\pm}0.9g/dl$ and $6.6{\pm}0.8g/dl$, respectively. Total protein value of calves with diarrhea was lower than that of normal and respiratory diseased calves. Globulin value of calves with diarrhea was the lowest among them. The low value of total protein in diarrheal diseased calves was due to decrease globulin values. 6. The fibrinogen values of calves with respiratory disease ($643{\pm}189mg/dl$) were significantly higher than that of normal calves($533{\pm}135mg/dl$) and calves with diarrhea($572{\pm}188mg/dl$). The plasma : fib. ratio of respiratory diseased calves was $12.0{\pm}4.9$, normal calves was $13.8{\pm}3.5$ and diarrheal diseased calves was $12.8{\pm}4.6$. The ratio of the calves with respiratory disease was significantly decreased.

  • The present study was designed to determine the impact of mercury on endotoxin-induced inflammatory cytokine expression and corresponding signal transduction in mouse kidney. Male BALB/c mice were exposed continuously to 0, 0.3, 1.5, 7.5, or 37.5 ppm of mercury in drink-ing water for 14 days and at the end of the treatment period, lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 0.5 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 2 h prior to euthanasia. The doses of mercury and LPS did not cause hepatotoxicity or renal toxicity as indicated by unaltered plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, and terminal UTP nucleotide end-labeling assay from kidney, respectively. Mercury decreased kidney glutathione (GSH) and with LPS, it additively decreased GSH. Mercury activated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and additively increased LPS-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation. In contrast, mercury inhibited LPS-induced activation of extra-cellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) but had no effect alone. Mercury increased the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor $\alpha$ (TN F$\alpha$) and potentiated LPS-induced TNF$\alpha$ expression. Mercury did not affect LPS-induced interleukin-1$\beta$ (IL-1$\beta$) expression but decreased LPS-induced IL-6 expression. These results suggest that low levels of mercury might augment LPS-induced TNF$\alpha$ expression by altering GSH and p38 MAPK. Mercury modulates LPS-induced p38 and ERK activation, and downstream TNF$\alpha$ and IL-6 expression in kidney, respectively.

  • The total serum protein, protein fractions by paper electrophoresis and A/G ratio in pregnant rabbits were observed. The results obtained in this work were sumrnerized as follows: 1. Total serum protein and the fraction of serum albumin revealed a decrease with the advancing of gestation, especially total serum protein was decreased significantly on 3 weeks of pregnancy. There was a tendency to return tward control level on one week after delivery. 2. The fraction of ${\alpha}_1$, and ${\alpha}_2$-globulin showed little changes during the period of gestation. 3. The fraction of ${\beta}$-globulin was increased more or less during the period of gestation, and on one week after delivery showed considerable increase but the increase was statistically insignificant. 4. The fraction of ${\gamma}$-globulin revealed a variable changes during pregnancy but there was no significant differences. 5. A/G ratio was significantly decreased at 3 weeks of pregnancy and the ratio was near control level on one week after delivery.

  • Though many genetic and epigenetic alterations have been identified in hamster oral carcinogenesis model, there is no information about the possible role of transforming growth factor related with oral cancer. The purpose of this paper was to find the expression patterns of transforming growth factor alpha and beta during the stages of complete oral carcinogenesis model in hamster. 0.5% 9, 10-dimethyl-1, 2-benzanthracene(DMBA) in mineral oil was topically applied to the buccal pouch of 75 hamster three times a week during the experimental periods. The experimental animals were subdivided into two groups of control and experiment. Only the mineral oil was applied to the control group. 0.5% DMBA in mineral oil was applied to the experimental groups of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 weeks. The expression of the $TGF-{\alpha}$ and $TGF-{\beta}$ protein were evaluated by the distribution and intensity of positive cells during the carcinogenesis using the immunohistochemical study. The following results were obtained ; 1. The buccal pouch epithelium of hamster was histologically changed to the dysplasia at 6, 8, 10 weeks, carcinoma in situ at 12 weeks, and squamous cell carcinoma at 14 weeks. 2. The expression of the $TGF-{\alpha}$ was restricted to the parabasal and basal layers of the normal and dysplastic mucosa, but those positive cells were extended to the spinous layers of the epithelium in the carcinoma. 3. The degree of $TGF-{\alpha}$ expression was markedly decreased in the carcinoma at 16, 18, 20. The strong positive staining in the center of cancer islands and weak positive staining in periphery of tumor were seen at the stage of squamous cell carcinoma. 4. The positive index of the $TGF-{\alpha}$ had a tendency to increase with DMBA- applied time. There was a statistically significant difference between 12, 18, 20 experimental group and control group (p<0.05). 5. The expression of the $TGF-{\beta}$ was shown at the cytoplasm of all control and experimental groups, and the parabasal and basal layers of the normal and dyslastic mucosa, but it was shown at the basal layers of the epithelium in the carcinoma. 6. $TGF-{\beta}$ was expressed diffusely at 16, 18, 20 experimental group. The strong positive staining in the center of cancer islands and positive staining in periphery of tumor were seen at the stage of squamous cell carcinoma. From the above findings, the expression of $TGF-{\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ in oral carcinogenesis model seems to have two formal stages, the first being an overexpression step as reaction to uncontrolled growth and the second being one in which external protein accumulate in the surrounding stroma and intracytoplasm. Overexpression of $TGF-{\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ may have important cooperative roles for the promotion of cancer and factor of prognosis.

  • 식용식물자원으로부터 활성소재를 찾기 위하여 흰씀바귀 뿌리를 80% MeOH로 추출하고, 얻어진 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH및 $H_2O$로 용매 분획하였다. EtOAc와 n-BuOH 분획에 대하여 column chromatography를 반복하여 4종의 화합물을 분리하였다. 각각에 대하여 2D-NMR을 포함한 스펙트럼 데이터의 해석과 문헌 자료를 조사하여 zaluzanin C (1), $9{\alpha}-hydroxyguaian-4(l5),10(14),11(13)-triene-6,12-olide$ (2), $3{\beta}-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-8{\beta}-hydroxyguaian-4(15),\;10(14 )-diene-6,12-olide$ (3), $3-O-{\beta}- D-glucopyranosyl-8{\beta}hydroxyguaian-10(14)-ene-6,12-olide$ (4)로 구조를 결정하였다. 이들 화합물에 대하여 ACAT(Acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase), DGAT (diacylglycerol acyltransferase) 및 FPTase(farnesyl-protein transferase)의 활성에 미치는 억제효과를 측정하였다. Compound 1과 Compound 2는 DGAT에 대한 활성억제효과에 있어서 $IC_{50}$ 값이 각각 0.13 mM, 0.10 mM로 나타났고, FPTase에 대하여는 각각 0.15 mM, 0.18 mM로 나타났으며, ACAT에 대하여는 약한 억제 활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 흰씀바귀는 항암 및 항고혈압의 소재 개발에 있어서 유용한 자원으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 연구배경: 내독소는 생체 내에서 단구와 내피세포에 강한 자극을 주나 호중구, 림프구, 호염기구, 섬유모세포 등 여러 세포에도 자극효과가 있어 염증반응이 시작된다. 그중 대식세포는 내독소의 자극을 받아 활성화되면 interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$)를 분비하여 조직손상을 일으킨다. 내독소의 작용기전은 CD14 의존성 경로와 비의존성 경로의 두 개로 나뉘어진다. 체내로 들어온 내독소는 혈청 내에서 내독소 운반에 관여하는 LPS-binding protein(LBP)과 결합하여 혈중내에서 세포와 결합되거나 조직으로 이동되어 조직내 세포와 결합하게 된다. 그러나 고농도의 LPS는 CD14항원에 비의존적으로 대식세포를 자극 할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 현재까지 LPS자극에 의한 대식세포의 CD14 항원 의존성 IL-1, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$의 형성과정은 많이 밝혀져 있으나, 내독소에 의한 TGF-$\beta$의 형성 여부는 밝혀져 있지 않으며, CD14 항원 비의존성으로 IL-1, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$가 형성되는 과정도 별로 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 혈청이 없는 상태 (LBP가 없는 상태)에서, 즉 LPS 자극시 LBP-CD14 비의존성으로 말초혈액단핵구에서 형성된 proinflammatory cytokines인 IL-1, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$과 섬유화 cytokine인 TGF-$\beta$의 생성유무를 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법: 정상인의 헤파린 처리된 말초혈액정맥혈을 비중 1.077의 Ficoll-Hypaque 용액 위에 중첩시킨 후 500g에서 30분간 원심분리하여 말초혈액단핵구를 얻었다. 분리된 말초혈액단핵구를 우태아혈청이 없는 RPMI에 부유시킨 후 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ 보온기에서 0.1 ${\mu}g$, 1 ${\mu}g$, 10 ${\mu}g$, 100 ${\mu}g/ML$의 LPS와 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 시간 혼합 배양 후 상층액을 분리하여 IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$의 측정 cytokines의 양을 bioassay로 측정하였다. 세포층은 slide에 고정시킨 후 단 클론 항체를 이용한 이중 면역조직화학염색법과 RNA probe를 이용한 in situ hybridization에 이용하였다. 결 과: 실험사약내 내독소 존재 여부에 대한 검증결과 내독소 함유량은 10 ng/mL 이하로 되어 있어 본 실험에서는 10 ng/mL 이상의 농도로 실험을 하였기 때문에 오염된 내독소는 실험에 영향이 없었을 것으로 사료되었다. 말초혈액단핵구에서 LPS 자극에 의하여 IL-6는 1시간째부터 형성되기 시작하였으며 96 시간까지 지속적으로 상승하였고 LPS용량의존성으로 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. TNF-$\alpha$는 LPS 자극 4시간째부터 상승하기 시작하여 시간이 갈수록 생성양은 증가하며 72 시간째까지 지속적으로 형성되었다. TGF-$\beta$형성도 LPS 용량에 의존성을 보이며 8시간째 일차로 TGF-$\beta$의 형성이 증가 한 후 12 시간째는 오히려 감소하였다가 시간이 지남에 따라 다시 증가하여 2차로 96 시간에 최대 형성을 보였다. 각각 cytokine의 24시간째 생성양은 IL-6의 경우 $1{\times}10^5/mL$의 말초혈액단핵구에서 10 ${\mu}g/mL$의 LPS에 의해서 19.8 ng 이 생성되었고 LPS 자극이 없는 상태의 자연생성능도 3.2 ng이었으며, $1{\times}10^6/mL$의 말초혈액단핵구에 의해서 자연 생성양은 증가하여 24시간째에 0.38 ng/mL, 10명/mL의 농도에서 24시간째 4.1 ng/mL의 TNF-$\alpha$의 생성능을 보였다. TGF-$\beta$의 경우 $2{\times}10^6/mL$의 말초혈액단핵구에 의하여 34.4 pg/mL가 생성되었고 자연생성능은 5.2 pg/mL의 생성농을 보였다. 말초혈액단핵구의 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$, TGF-$\beta$ 단백과 m-RNA 발현 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$단백은 주로 단구세포에서, TGF-$\beta$ 단백은 단구세포와 림프구에서 발현되었으며, CD14항원 발현과는 상관이 없었다. TNF-$\alpha$, IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TGF-$\beta$ m-RNA 양성세포는 주로 세포질이 풍부한 것으로 보아 단구세포로 사료되었다. TGF-$\beta$의 경우 단구세포외에도 세포질이 적은 림프구에서도 약하게 양성반응을 보여 링프구에서도 분비될 가능성을 보여 주었다. 결 론: 내독소로 말초혈액 단핵구를 자극시 IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$는 조기에 분비되기 시작하며 TGF-$\beta$는 후기에 분비되기 시작하여 96시간까지 지속적으로 분비된다. 주 분비세포는 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$의 경우 단구세포가 되며 TGF-$\beta$도 단구세포가 주세포가 되나 림프구도 분비에 관여한다.

  • The chemical composition and stabilities of the purified ginseng invertase were investigated. The purified enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein composed of 80.2% protein and 19.7% total sugar. The protein component of the enzyme was composed of acidic amino acid (9.3%), basic amino acid (48.9%), nonpolar amino acid (21.4%), polar amino acid (20.4%) and 6.1% S-containing amino acid. It showed especially high contents of histidine and serine. The enzyme was inactivated almost completely by the treatment with some proteases (papain, pepsin. trypsin, pancreatin and microbial alkaline pretense) and protein denatllrants (8M urea and 6M guanidine-HC1), bolt not with glyrosidase (${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase. glcoamylese and cellullase). btonosaccharides sllch as glilrose, fructose, galactose and mannose did not exert any influence on the enzyme activity. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by Ag+, Mn2+, Hg2+, Zn2+ and Al3+, whereas Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+ and Fe3+ gave rather activating effects on the enzyme activity. The enzyme was relatively stable in the VH range of VH 6 and 8, and at the temperatures below 35$^{\circ}C$.

  • 벌사상자는 여성의 생식기 질환이나 화농성 피부염에 주로 사용되어온 한약재로, 최근 들어 암과 관련된 연구가 많이 이루어짐에 따라 벌사상자의 항암 효과에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 벌사상자의 대표적인 성분인 osthole, xanthotoxol 등은 벤젠고리 화합물로 에탄올과 같은 유기용매에 잘 용해된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 AGS 위암세포에서 벌사상자 에탄올 추출물(CME)에 대한 세포주기 정지 유도 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. CME 처리에 의한 AGS 위암세포의 증식 억제 유도 효과 및 세포독성 효과를 확인하기 위하여 MTT assay와 LDH release assay를 실시한 결과, 농도 및 시간 의존적으로 세포생존율이 감소하였으며, 농도 의존적인 세포독성 효과를 확인하였다. 또한, CME의 농도가 증가할수록 AGS 위암세포의 형태학적 변화가 관찰되었다. 이러한 세포증식 억제 유도 효과가 세포주기 정지에 의한 것인지 확인하기 위하여 CME를 농도별로 24시간 동안 처리한 후 세포주기를 측정하였다. 그 결과 G1기의 세포가 농도 의존적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 그리고 CME의 처리가 세포주기와 관련된 단백질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 western blot analysis를 실시하여 G1기 세포주기 정지와 관련된 신호 단백질들의 발현 변화를 확인하였다. 그 결과 CME의 처리가 세포 증식과 분열에 중요한 역할을 하는 p-Akt와 p-GSK-$3{\beta}$의 발현을 저해하는 것을 확인하였고, 이에 따라 p53의 발현과 활성이 증가하여 p21의 발현이 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한, p21의 증가에 따른 cyclin E의 발현 감소와 CDK2의 비활성화 상태인 p-CDK(T14), p-CDK(Y15)의 발현 증가를 확인하였다. 이와 같은 CME의 세포주기 억제 유도 효과가 일어나는 신호경로를 확인하기 위하여 LY294002(PI3K/Akt 저해제), BIO(GSK-$3{\beta}$ 저해제), Pifithrin-${\alpha}$(p53 저해제)를 CME와 각각 또는 병행 처리한 후 MTT assay, 세포주기 측정, western blot analysis를 진행하였다. 그 결과 LY294002의 처리는 CME 처리군과 유사하게 세포생존율을 저해시키고 G1기 정지를 유도했으며, 세포주기 단백질을 조절하였다. 또한, GSK-$3{\beta}$와 p53 저해제를 처리하였을 때 CME를 병행 처리했음에도 불구하고 세포증식 억제나 G1기 정지와 같은 항암 효과가 나타나지 않았으며, 관련 신호경로 단백질의 변화도 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 CME의 처리가 Akt/GSK-$3{\beta}$/p53 신호경로를 조절하여 cyclin E의 발현을 감소시키고 CDK2의 활성을 억제함으로써 G1기 세포주기 정지를 유도함을 확인하였다.
