Backgrounds: Amygdalin (D-mandelonitrile B-gentiobioside), a cynogenic compound, is found in sweet and bitter almond, Persicae semen, and Armeniacae semen. Aqueous extract of amygdalin was made from Armeniacae semen and used in this study. Objectives: Apoptosis is a very important mechanism in cancer treatment. In the present study, it was investigated whether amygdalin induces apoptotic cell death in human COLO 201 colon cancer cells. Materials and Methods: For this study, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, 4,6diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, flow cytometric analysis, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(PR-PCR), western blot analysis, and caspase-3 enzyme assay were performed on COLO 201 cells. Cells treated with amygdalin exhibited several characteristics of apoptosis. Results: Amygdalin treatment enhanced Bax expression and suppressed Bcl-2 expression in COLO 201 cells. Amygdalin also was shown to increase the caspase-3 activity. Conclusions: Amygdalin induces apoptotic cell death via Bax-dependent caspase-3 activation in COLO 201 cells.

3D open-field farm model developed from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) data could make crop monitoring easier, also could be an important dataset for various fields like remote sensing or precision agriculture. It is essential to separate crops from the non-crop area because labeling in a manual way is extremely laborious and not appropriate for continuous monitoring. We, therefore, made a 3D open-field farm model based on UAV images and developed a crop segmentation model using a supervised machine learning algorithm. We compared performances from various models using different data features like color or geographic coordinates, and two supervised learning algorithms which are SVM (Support Vector Machine) and KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors). The best approach was trained with 2-dimensional data, ExGR (Excess of Green minus Excess of Red) and z coordinate value, using KNN algorithm, whose accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score was 97.85, 96.51, 88.54, 92.35% respectively. Also, we compared our model performance with similar previous work. Our approach showed slightly better accuracy, and it detected the actual crop better than the previous approach, while it also classified actual non-crop points (e.g. weeds) as crops.

Increasing clinical demand for carbon-11 labeled radiopharmaceuticals has triggered technological advances in fields of radiochemistry and automated modules. Even though carbon-11 has a short half-life ($t_{1/2}=20.4min$), the consecutive second production of carbon-11 labeled radiopharmaceutical in one $^{11}C$-synthetic module should be delayed at least over 4 h to avoid the high radiation exposure. We herein aimed to produce two different carbon-11 labeled radiopharmaceuticals ([$^{11}C$]PIB and [$^{11}C$]methionine) by sharing of [$^{11}C$]methylation source in one $^{11}C$-synthetic module. The synthesis of $^{11}C$-labeling reagents ($[^{11}C]CH_3I$ or $[^{11}C]CH_3OTf$) is fully automated using the commercial TRACERlab $FX_{C-pro}$ module and is readily adaptable to $^{11}C$-labeling reactor for [$^{11}C$]PIB as well as another $^{11}C$-labeling apparatus for [$^{11}C$]methionine via the three-way valve. After completing the [$^{11}C$]PIB production, the re-synthesized $[^{11}C]CH_3I$ was passed through the three-way valve connected the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) line and loaded into the C18 Sep-Pak cartridge including the methionine precursor. The labeled product [^${11}C$]methionine was purified by a simple cartridge separation and reformulated into saline. The radiochemical yield of [$^{11}C$]PIB and [$^{11}C$]methionine were $5.3{\pm}0.6%$ and $18.7{\pm}0.8%$ (n.d.c.), respectively, with over 97% of radiochemical purity. The specific activity of [$^{11}C$]PIB was over $110GBq/{\mu}mol$. Total production time of two radiopharmaceuticals needs about 2 h from $1^{st}$ beam irradiation including quality control tests. Final [$^{11}C$]PIB and [$^{11}C$]methionine were satisfied all quality control test standards.

잣은 우리나라 대표적인 견과류 임산물이자 수익형 작물이다. 그러나 잣송이는 사람이 직접 나무 위로 올라가 수확하기 때문에 위험성이 높다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 로봇 또는 UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle)를 이용한 잣송이 수확이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 UAV를 이용한 잣송이 수확을 위해 UAV 항공 영상에서 딥러닝(deep learning) 기반의 잣송이 검출 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해, UAV를 이용하여 실제 잣나무 숲에서 동영상을 촬영했으며, 적은 수의 데이터 보완을 위해 데이터 증강기법을 사용했다. 3D 검출을 위한 데이터로는 Unity3D을 이용하여 가상 잣송이 및 가상환경을 3D 모델링 하였으며 라벨링은 좌표계의 3차원 변환법을 이용해 구축했다. 잣 분포 영역 검출, 잣 객체에 대한 2D 및 3D 검출을 위한 딥러닝 알고리즘은 DeepLabV3, YOLOv4, CenterNet을 각각 이용하였다. 실험 결과, 잣송이 분포 영역 검출률은 82.15%, 2D 검출률은 86.93%, 3D 검출률은 59.45%이었다.

Two dimensional-fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) is an emerging technique for comparative proteomics, which improves the reproducibility and reliability of differential protein expression analysis between samples. The purpose of this study was to investigate bovine pregnancy-specific proteins in the proteome between bovine pregnant and non-pregnant serum using DIGE technique. Serums of 2 pregnant Holstein dairy cattle at day 21 after artificial insemination and those of 2 non-pregnant were used in this study. The pre-electrophoretic labeling of pregnant and non-pregnant serum proteins were mixed with Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescent dyes, respectively, and an internal standard was labeled with Cy2. Labeled proteins with Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5 were separated together in a single gel, and then were detected by fluorescence image analyzer. The 2D DIGE method using fluorescence CyDye DIGE flour had higher sensitivity than conventional 2D gel electrophoresis, and showed reproducible results. Approximately 1,500 protein spots were detected by 2D DIGE. Several proteins showed a more than 1.5-fold up and down regulation between non-pregnant and pregnant serum proteins. The differentially expressed proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. A total 16 protein spots were detected to regulate differentially in the pregnant serum, among which 7 spots were up-regulated proteins such as conglutinin precursor, modified bovine fibrinogen and IgG1, and 6 spots were down-regulated proteins such as hemoglobin, complement component 3, bovine fibrinogen and IgG2a three spots were not identified. The identified proteins demonstrate that early pregnant bovine serum may have several pregnancy-specific proteins, and these could be a valuable information for the development of pregnancy-diagnostic markers in early pregnancy bovine serum.

A reducing glucose-carrying polymer, called poly [3-O-(4'-vinylbenzyl)-D-glucose］(PVG), was interacted with HepG2 cells including a type-l glucose transporter (GLUT-1) on the cell membrane. The cooperative interaction between a number of GLUT-1s and a number of reducing 3-O-methyl-D-glucose moieties on the PVG polymer chain was found to be responsible for the increase in the interaction with HepG2 cells. The affinity between the cells and the PVG was studied using RITC-labeled glycopolymers. The specific interaction between the GLUT-1 on HepG2 cells and the PVG polymer carrying reducing glucose moieties was suppressed by the inhibitors, phloretin, phloridzin, and cytochalasin B. Direct observation by confocal laser microscopy with the use of RITC-labeled PVG and pretreatment of HepG2 cells with the inhibitors demonstrated that the cells interacted with the soluble form of the PVG polymer via GLUT-1, while fluorescence labeling of the cell surface was prevented after pretreatment with the inhibitors of GLUT-1.

Trichoplusia ni (T. ni) 세포는 사람 당 수송체를 이성질적으로 많은 양 생산하려 할 때 유용하게 사용되는, baculovirus 발현 시스템의 숙주세포로서 이용된다. 그러나 T. ni 세포에 존재하는 내재된 당 수송체의 높은 활동은, 발현된 외재적 당 수송체의 수송활성과 같은 직접적 증거 제시에 장애가 된다. 뿐만 아니라 곤충세포에 내재하는 당 수송체계의 특성에 대해서는 밝혀진 바가 거의 없다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 baculovirus 발현 시스템을 보다 잘 활용하기 위해 T. ni 세포의 2dGlc기질 수송에 D-fructose가 미치는 영향을 살펴 보았으며, T. ni 세포에 발현된 사람 당 수송체의 생물학적 활성을 보다 용이하게 검증하기 위해 발현된 수송체를 [$^3H$] cytochalasin B를 이용하여 photolabelling 하였다. 우선 감염되지 않은 세포와 recombinant AcMPV-GTL 감염시킨 T. ni 세포의 2dGlc uptake를 300 mM D-fructose가 있을 때와 없을 때, 그리고 $20{\mu}M$ cytochalasin B가 있을 때와 없을 때의 상황에서 살펴보았다. 감염되지 않은 세포에서의 육탄당 uptake는 D-fructose에 의해 강력하게 억제 되었으나 cytochalasin B에 의해서는 단지 미미한 억제 효과만을 보여주었다. 흥미롭게도 AcMPV-GTL 바이러스 감염된 T. ni 세포에서는 비록 2dGlc uptake율은 감염되지 않은 세포와 비교해 다소 낮았지만 육탄당 수송 억제 반응은 근본적으로 동일함을 보여 주었다. 또한 [$^3H$] cytochalasin B를 이용한 발현단백질 photolabelling에서는, L-glucose가 존재하는 상황 하에만 하나의 날카롭게 표지된 peak가, 바이러스 감염된 세포에서 관찰되었다. 감염되지 않은 세포에서는 이러한 peak는 관찰되지 않았다. 게다가 D-glucose 존재 하에서는 발현된 단백질의 photolabelling이 완전히 억제되어짐을 보여주어, labelling의 입체선택성(stereoselectivity)을 입증하였다.

The present paper reports characteristics and specificity of the inhibitory action of $N^{\alpha}-tosyl-L-lysine-chloromethyl\;ketone$ (TLCK) and $N^{\alpha}-tosyl-L-phenylalanine-chloromethyl\;ketone$ (TPCK) on the glucose6-phosphate transporter of rat liver microsomes. The TLCK-induced inhibition was pH dependent. The inhibition constants for TPCK were determined by following pseudo-Lst order reaction mechanism. The inhibition was protected by preincubation with excess amount of glucose-6-phosphate. The results proved that (a) TLCK inactivates the microsomal glucose-6-phosphate transporter, (b) the inhibition results from the modification of sulfhydryl groups of the transporter.

In the fight against cancer, novel chemotherapeutic agents are constantly being sought to complement existing drugs. Various studies have presented evidence that the apoptosis that is induced by these anticancer agents is implicated in tumor regression, and Bcl-2 family genes play a part in apoptosis following treatment with various stimuli. Here, we present data that a styrylpyrone derivative (SPD) that is extracted from the plant Goniothalamus sp. showed cytotoxic effects on the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. SPD significantly increased apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, as visualized by phase contrast microscopy and evaluated by the Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling assay and nuclear morphology. Western blotting and immunostaining revealed up-regulation of the proapoptotic Bax protein expression. SPD, however, did not affect the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2. These results, therefore, suggest SPD as a potent cytotoxic agent on MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis through the modulation of Bax levels.
