본 연구는 지질의 과산화에 대한 항산화 효과를 조사하기 위하여 엉겅퀴(Silybum marianum)로부터 silymarin 및 silybin을 정제하여 실험하였다. Silymarin 및 silybin은 xanthine oxidase system에서 superoxide anion의 생성을 억제하였다. 쥐의 간 mitochondria에서는 silymarin 및 silybin은 reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH)에 의해 효과적 또는 ascorbic acid 또는 Fenton's reagent에 의하여 비효소적으로 유도되는 지질의 과산화를 억제하였다. 또 mitochondria의 지질과산화도 silymarin 및 silybin에 의하여 억제되었고 NADPH 의존 cychrome P-450 reductase에 의한 Fe2+의 산화도 silymarin 및 silybin에 의하여 억제되었다. Silymarin 및 silybin은 microsome의 효소 시스템 및 linoleic acid hydroperoxide induced peroxidation system에서 지질의 과산화의 연쇄반응에서 유리기의 억제효과가 있었다.

Leaf discs were excised from spinach leaves (Spinaia oleracea L.) and floated in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing paraquat solutions (0, 0.1, 1.0, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ppm), and incubated in the growth chamber under 5, 500 lux illumination at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr. Treatment with paraquat caused the formation of malondialdehyde (MDA), an indicator of lipid peroxidation in leaf discs. When 1.0, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ppm of paraquat solutions were applied to leaf discs, the contents of MDA were increased by 63, n6, 100, 140 and 150% of the level without paraquat treatment, respectively. 1.0, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ppm of paraquat treatments reduced the amounts of ascorbic acid in leaf discs by 23, 35, 38, 42 and 56% of the level without paraquat treatment respectively. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in leaf discs of 1.0, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ppm of paraquat treatments were decreased by 23, 42, 48, 61 and 70% of the level of SOD in non-treated group, respectively. The results suggest that paraquat may cause peroxidation of membrane lipid in spinach leaves as a result of paraquat-induced destruction of physiological defense against oxygen phytotoxicity.

1. Aspergillus oryzae의 균체에는 L-tyrosine-${\alpha}$-ketoglutaric acid transaminase와 p-hydroxyphenlypyruvic acid oxidase가 존재해 있다. 2. L-Tyrosine 산화효소는 액침배양한 Aspergillus oryzae의 acetone powder, cell free extract 및 배양액에도 존재하며 L-tyrosine은 ${\alpha}$-ketoglutaric acid의 첨가로 더욱 빨리 전환되었다. 3. ${\alpha}$-Ketoglutaric acid와 pyridoxal phosphate는 transamination의 amino기의 수용체로 생각되었다. 4. 이들 효소계는 L-tyrosine와 p-hydroxyphenlypyruvic acid를 homogentisic acid로 산화시켰다. 5. Ascorbic acid는 p-hydroxyphenlypyruvic가 homogentisic acid로 산화되는데 특별한 역할을 하는 것 같다. 6. L-Tyrosine-${\alpha}$-ketoglutaric acid transaminase와 p-hydroxyphenlypyruvic acid oxidase의 최적 pH는 각 각 pH $6.0{\sim}6.5$와 pH 7.5이었다.

L-Xylosone was detected as its quinoxaline derivative in the degradation solution of dehydro-L-ascorbic acid. The production rate of L-xylosone was much faster in aerated phosphate-cirate buffer (pH 5. 6) than in pure water. L-Xylosone and dehydro-L-ascorbic acid were identified in the crude extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The concentration of L-xylosone in the crude cell extracts was calculated to be about 0.2 nmol $(mg protein)^{-1}$. When L-xylosone was added to asynchronous culture of S. cerevisiae, it inhibited primarily the synthesis of protein and RNA. Examination of the effect of L- xylosone on synchronous culture of the yeast indicated that L-xylosone inhibited the initiation of DNA replication and that the cells were arrested at $G_1$, stage of cell division cycle. These results suggested a possibility that L-xylosone can act as an inhibitor of cell growth.

섬유모세포성장인자-23(fibroblast growth factor 23, FGF23)은 뼈를 형성하는 세포에서 주로 생성되지만 그 작용은 신장에서 이루어진다. FGF23은 신장의 나트륨-인산염 공동수송체(Na-phosphate cotransporter)를 억제하여 인산염 재흡수를 감소시킨다. 이렇게 함으로써 인산염 항상성을 조절하는 작용과는 별개로 이것은 in vivo에서 뼈 형성을 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 두개골 조골세포를 이용한 연구에서도 FGF23은 조골세포의 발달, 즉 분화 및 기질의 광화(mineralization)에 악영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구는 FGF23이 골수 유래 간엽줄기세포에서 조골세포로의 발달에 있어서도 유사한 영향을 줄 것인지를 조사한 것이다. 간엽줄기세포주인 D1 세포를 β-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid, dexamethazone이 포함된 조골배(osteogenic medium)에 배양하여 alkaline phosphatase (Alp) 염색으로 분화를, Alizarin red 염색과 기질의 칼슘 함량의 분석을 통해 광화를 평가하였다. 분화 촉진 유전자인 Runx2, osteocalcin, Alp와 광화 억제 유전자인 Enpp1, Ank의 발현은 RT-PCR로 분석하였다. D1 세포의 증식과 조골세포로의 분화는 생리학적 농도를 훨씬 초과하는 FGF23의 농도에 의해서도 달라지지 않았다. FGF23 처치 1주, 2주, 3주 후 Alizarin red 염색에 의한 광화 정도의 평가에서도 대조군과 실험군의 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 그러나 두 군 모두 시간이 경과함에 따라 광화는 증가되었다. 기질에 침착된 칼슘의 양 또한 차이가 없었다. 분화 촉진 유전자와 광화 억제 유전자의 발현도 양 군 간에 다르지 않았다. 이러한 부정적인(negative) 결과는 FGF23에 의한 세포 내 신호전달의 장애가 아님이 Erk 인산화로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 두개골의 조골세포와 달리 FGF23은 간엽줄기세포에서 조골세포로의 분화와 광화에는 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 사료된다.

활성화된 탄소반죽전극 표면을 N피드록시숙신이미드(NHS)층으로 수식한 후, 이 전극을 이용하여 square-wave voltammetry방법으로 과량의 아스코빅산 존재 하에서 도파민을 측정하였다. 수식된 전극의 특성은 도파민과 아스코빅산 혼합용액에서 순한전압전류법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 도파민과 아스코빅산의 산화 피크의 분리는 시료용액의 pH에 큰 영향을 받았으며, pH 4.0에서 최대의 피크분리(172mv)를 보였다. 따라서 도파민을 정량하기 위한 square-wave voltammeoy는 140 mM NaCl을 포함하는 100 mM phosphate buffered saline (PBS)의 pH 4.0 조건에서 수행하였다. NHS로 수식된 전극은 0.2mM 아스코빅 산의 존재 하에서 도파민의 농도 $5.0\times10^{-2}$까지 검출한계와 감응기울기 $6.1{\mu}A/{\mu}M$의 감도를 나타내었다. 반면 수식되지 않은 전극은 $1.0{\mu}M$의 검출한계와 $0.93{\mu}A/{\mu}M$ 기울기를 나타내어 표면에 수식된 N-히드록시숙신이미드가 도파민의 감응을 촉진함을 보여주었다.

Simultaneous determination of nine water-soluble vitamins contained in multi-nutrient tablets was carried out by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) equipped with analytical $C_{18}$ column and UV (270 nm) detector. Those standard vitamins were successfully separated within 23 minutes by gradient elution with solvent A (0.5 M potassium phosphate monobasic) and solvent B (0.25 M potassium phosphate monobasic-methanol, 1:1). Calibration curves showed good linealities with correlation coefficients (> 0.92) in tested ranged respectively. The detection limits were considered to be 2.1 ng for ascorbic acids 60 ng for Vit B$_{6}$ 3 ng for p-aminobenzoic acid, 9 ng for niacinamide, 9 ng for thiamin, 5.0 ng for folic acid and 1.5 ng for riboflavin at 0.05 a.u.f.s. Solid phase extraction through Sep-Pak (C$_{18}$ ) cartridge was successfully applied for purification of water soluble vitamins in commercial multi-nutrient tablets.ts.

Recent studies demonstrate that collagen IV selectively pro-motes the repair of physiological processes in sublethally injured renal proximal tubular ceils (RPTC). We sought to further define the mechanisms of cell repair by measuring the effects of toxicant injury and stimulation of repair by L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (AscP), exogenous collagen IV, or function-stimulating integrin antibodies on the expression and subcellular localization of collagen-binding integrins (CBI) in RPTC. Expression of CBI subunits ${\alpha}_1$, ${\alpha}_2$, and ${\beta}_1$ in RPTC was not altered on day 1 after sublethal injury by S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC). On day 6, expression of ${\alpha}_1$ and ${\beta}_1$ subunits remained unchanged, whereas a 2.2-fold increase in ${\alpha}_2$ expression was evident in injured RPTC. CBI localization in control RPTC was limited exclusively to the basal membrane. On day 1 after injury, RPTC exhibited a marked inhibition of active $Na^+$ transport and a loss of cell polarity characterized by a decrease in basal CBI localization and the appearance of CBI on the apical membrane. On day 6 after injury, RPTC still exhibited marked inhibition of active $Na^+$ transport and localization of CBI to the apical membrane. However, DCVC-injured RPTC cultured in pharmacological concentrations of AscP (500 ${\mu}$M)or exogenous collagen IV (50 ${\mu}$g/ml) exhibited an increase inactive $Na^+$ transport, relocalization of CBI to the basal membrane, and the disappearance of CBI from the apical membrane on day 6. Function-stimulating antibodies to CBI ${\beta}_1$ did not promote basal relocalization of CBI despite stimulating the repair of $Na^+$/$K^+$-ATPase activity on day 6 after injury. These data demonstrate that DCVC disrupts integrin localization and that physiological repair stimulated by AscP or collagen IV is associated with the basal relocalization of CBI in DCVC-injured RPTC. These data also suggest that CBI-mediated repair of physiological functions may occur independently of integrin relocalization.

Lichen-forming fungal proteins have been seldom searched due to many difficulties in their extraction. Phenols, quinones, proteases, and other components released during cell disruption have been known to be the greatest challenges related to protein extraction from lichens. To overcome these problems and maintain good electrophoretic resolution and high protein concentration, an extraction buffer containing polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, ascorbic acid, Triton X-100, polyethylene glycol, proteinase, and oxidase inhibitors in sodium phosphate buffer was developed. This extraction buffer showed high efficiency for all lichen species tested in the study.
