Due to considerably high degree of sequence homology between bacterial and human heat shock proteins(hsp), it has been widely thought that this protein might be involved in autoimmune disease mechanisms in humans. To elucidate how stress proteins contribute in the immunopathogenesis of periodontitis, the present study was performed to evaluate the T cell immune responses specific to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) heat shock protein (hsp)60 and T-cell epitope specificities for P. gingivalis hsp60 in periodontitis. Anti-P. gingivalis IgG antibody titers were elevated in all patients. We could establish P. gingivalis hsp-specific T cell ines from the peripheral blood of peridontitis, a mixture of $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ cells. Of 108 overlapping synthetic peptides spanning whole P. gingivalis hsp60 moleculc, ten peptides with cpitopes specifities for T-cell were showed. Interestingly, ten epitopes were also identified as T-cell epitopes in the present study as well as B-cell epitopes in peridontitis. Therefore, all the ten representative epitopes were designated as common T-and B-cell epitopes for peridontitis. It is critical in developing a peptide vaccine strategy for potential prevention of periodontitis. It was concluded that P. gingivalis hsp60 might be involved in the immunoregulatory process of periodontitis with heat shock protein specificities.

Previously, we reported that the prothrombin kringle 2 (fragment 2), induced by LPS administration into rabbit, inhibited bFGF-stimulated BCE cell growth (Lee et al., 1998). In this study, we cloned and overexpressed the kringle 2 domain of rabbit and human prothrombin as a fusion protein with the pelB leader sequence in E. coli using the T7 promoter. The fusion protein was cleaved during translocation into the peri plasmic space, and cleaved recombinant protein was readily isolated from whole cell lysate by DEAE-Sepharose and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration chromatography. Both the recombinant rabbit and human prothrombin kringle 2 showed very similar biochemical and functional characteristics to the rabbit prothrombin kringle 2 purified from rabbit serum, in terms of abnormal electrophoretic migration and endothelial cell growth inhibitory activity.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE extract supplementation of non esterified fatty acid (NEFA), concentrations of serum protein and electrolyte in sera on the hyperlipidemic rats. Concentrations of NEFA and globulin were remarkably lower in the Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE extract group (HW group) than in the hyperlipidemic group (HD group), but no difference between control group (CO group) and extract of Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE supplement in control group (NW group). However, concentrations of electrolyte K and A/G were higher in the HW group than HD group. Concentrations of total protein, albumin, electrolyte of total Ca, Pi, Na and Cl were no difference between HW group than HD group. The results indicate that Crataegus pinnatifida BUNGE extract was in the improvement of hyperlipidemic rats.

Acquired pigmentary skin diseases such as abnormal melanogenesis, vitiligo, chloasma and inflammatory pigmentation are related to regulate the melanin production, In this study, an ethanol extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunb.(EHD) makedly inhibited melanin biosynthesis and suppressed, the protein expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein 1(TRP-1), and tyrosinase-related protein 2(TRP-2) in B16F10 cells. On the other hand, EHD did not inhibit mushroom tyrosinase activity. These results indicate that EHD may contribute to the inhibition of melanin biosynthesis through regulating tyrosinase activity and expression, and serve as a new candidate in the design of new skin-whitening or therapeutic agents.

Regulatory B cells, also well-known as IL-10-producing B cells, play a role in the suppression of inflammatory responses. However, the epigenetic modulation of regulatory B cells is largely unknown. Recent studies showed that the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) protein inhibitor JQ1 controls the expression of various genes involving cell proliferation and cell cycle. However, the role of BET proteins on development of regulatory B cells is not reported. In this study, JQ1 potently suppressed IL-10 expression and secretion in murine splenic and peritoneal B cells. While bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) was associated with $NF-{\kappa}B$ on IL-10 promoter region by LPS stimulation, JQ1 interfered the interaction of BRD4 with $NF-{\kappa}B$ on IL-10 promoter. In summary, BRD4 is essential for toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated IL-10 expression, suggesting JQ1 could be a potential candidate in regulating IL-10-producing regulatory B cells in cancer.

미세소관(microtubule) 위를 이동하는 키네신은 분비소포를 이동시키는 운동단백질이다. KIF5s (KIF5A, KIF5B and KIF5C)는 세포막으로 싸인 각종 세포 내 소기관과 결합하여 미세소관을 따라 목적지까지 이동시킨다는 결과는 알려져 있지만, 어떻게 상대의 cargo를 인식하는지는 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구는 KIF5B의 결합 단백질을 동정하기 위하여 효모 two-hybrid system을 사용하여 KIF5B와 특이적으로 결합하는 Myo9b을 확인하였다. Myo9b는 액틴위를 이동하는 운동단백질로 다른 KIF5s들과도 결합함을 효모 two-hybrid assay로 확인하였다. 또한 Myo9s의 GTPase 활성화 단백질(GAP) 영역은 KIF5B와 결합하는데 필수영역임을 확인하였고, 이러한 단백질간의 결합은 Glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay를 통하여서도 확인하였다. 생쥐의 뇌 파쇄액에 KIF5B들의 항체로 면역침강을 행하여 Myo9s 단백질을 확인한 결과, KIF5s는 Myo9s 단백질과 특이적으로 함께 침강하였다. 이러한 결과들은 kinesin-I는 액틴 결합 운동단백질과 직접 결합함을 보여준다.
