The modulating effect of IGF-I on the regulation of AR gene expression and activation in skeletal muscle cells remains poorly understood. In this study, the effects of IGF-I treatment on AR induction and activation in the absence of AR ligands were examined. Differentiating C2C12 cells were treated with different concentrations (0-250 ng/ml) of IGF-I or for various periods of time (0-60 min) of 250 ng/ml IGF-I. Treatment of C2C12 cells with IGF-I resulted in a dose- and time-dependent increase in total AR and phosphorylated AR (Ser 213). IGF-I treatment also led to significantly increased AR mRNA expression when compared with the control. The levels of skeletal ${\alpha}-actin$ and myogenin mRNA, known target genes of AR, were also significantly upregulated after 5 or 10 min of treatment with IGF-I. Confocal images revealed that IGF-I stimulated nuclear localization of AR in the absence of ligands. In addition, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay indicated that IGF-I stimulated the AR DNA binding activity in a time-dependent manner. The present results suggest that IGF-I stimulates the expression and activation of AR by ligand-independent mechanism in differentiating C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells.

C4I 시스템은 군의 핵심전력이자 중추 신경계이다. C4I 시스템은 정보 그리드, 정보의 생산 분배에 사용되는 정보기반체계로 전장공간의 모든 전투요소를 정보 네트워크로 연결하여 실시간 전장정보와 인식의 공유를 가능하게 하여 과거 플랫폼중심의 전쟁개념을 네트워크 중심전 (NCW)으로 근본적인 전쟁패러다임변화를 유도하였다. 이러한 군 핵심전력인 C4I 시스템이 적의 사이버 공격대상이 될 것임이 자명함에도 불구하고 그 대비책은 거의 부재한 실정이다. 본 논문은 전 평시 사이버 공격의 핵심목표가 될 C4I 시스템 보호책 마련을 위한 보안 로드맵을 설계하였다. 본 로드맵은 C4I 시스템 보호를 위한 비전과 목표에 대한 지원 프레임워크를 제시하고 있으며, 합참 및 방사청에서 적절한 프로그램을 선정하고 투자하여 신속하고 효율적인 보안시스템 구축이 가능하도록 한다.

To Increase availability and to enhance the safety, the modernization of Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems is considered. The extended use of the digital technology lets nuclear power plants(NPPs) to replace their old analog systems with some proven digital systems. To adapt digital equipment to plants effectively and systematically, however, there must be an essential prerequisite, which is to evaluate current I&C equipment. This paper shows a practical methodology to evaluate the current status and reliability of I&C systems of NPPs using Reliability Evaluation System(RES) before performing upgrades or replacements for systems. The proposed method was applied to KORI Unit 2. The proposed method shows the current status of operating I&C systems effectively for upgrading I&C systems.

히스톤 탈 아세틸 효소(HDAC)와 인슐린유사성장인자(IGF-I)는 근육 관련 유전자들의 활성 및 발현을 조절하여 골격근의 성장 및 발달을 조절하지만 이들이 근신경계 발달 및 대사 기능에 중요한 역할을 담당하는 뇌신경성장인자(BDNF)의 발현에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IGF-I과 HDAC의 억제제인 SAHA가 C2C12 골격근 세포에서 BDNF 발현에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 IGF-I은 농도와 시간 의존적으로 BDNF의 mRNA 및 단백질 발현을 감소시켰지만 HDAC을 억제하자 IGF-I에 의해 감소되었던 BDNF의 발현이 증가하는 경향을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 IGF-I은 BDNF의 발현을 억제하며, HDAC의 억제는 IGF-I에 의한 BDNF의 발현 억제를 감소시킬 수 있다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

Background: A number of studies have reported relationships of CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphisms with susceptibility to lung cancer in Chinese population. However, the epidemiologic results have been conflictive rather than conclusive. The purpose of this study was to address the associations of CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphisms with lung cancer risk in Chinese population comprehensively. Materials and Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in the PubMed, Science Direct, Elsevier, CNKI and Chinese Biomedical Literature Databases. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the strength of association. Results: Overall, we observed a decreased lung cancer risk among subjects carrying CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI c1/c2 and c1/c2+c2/c2 genotypes (OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.64-0.90 and OR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.66-0.93, respectively), as compared with subjects carrying the c1/c1 genotype. In subgroup analysis, we observed a decreased lung cancer risk among c1/c2 carriers in hospital-based studies (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.68-0.98) and among carriers with c1/c2 and c1/c2+c2/c2 genotypes in population-based studies(OR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.42-0.79 and OR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.43-0.79, respectively), as compared with subjects carrying the c1/c1 genotype. Limiting the analysis to studies with controls in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), we similarly observed a decreased lung cancer risk among c1/c2 and c1/c2+c2/c2 carriers (OR=0.73, 95%CI: 0.60-0.88 and OR=0.73, 95%CI: 0.60-0.88, respectively), as compared with c1/c1. Conclusions: Our results suggested that CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI c1/c2 and c1/c2+c2/c2 variants might be a protective factor for developing lung cancer in Chinese population. Further well-designed studies with larger sample size are required to verify our findings.

Camptothecin (CPT) is an antitumor alkaloid that has been isolated from the Chinese tree, Camptotheca acuminata. The cytotoxicity of CPT has been correlated to its inhibition of DNA topoisomerase (Topo) I by stabilizing drug-enzyme-DNA “cleavable complex" resulting in DNA single-strand breaks and DNA-protein crosslinks. This studies were designed to elucidate whether CPT regulates Topo I mediated by CPT in DNAs containing c-myc protooncogene. We have conducted experiments on Topo I purification, pUC-MYC I cloning and Topo I assay using electrophoresis, quantitative RT-PCR and Northern blotting techniques. CPT ingibited the relaxation activity of Topo I in pUC19 DNA at various concentrations (1-1000 $\mu$M), while it enhanced the cleavage of Topo I in the pUC-MYC I by forming a cleavable complex at relatively high concentrations (100-1000 $\mu$M). In HL-60 cells treated with CPT, the expression of c-myc gene was decreased over that in the control group with no changes in the expression of Topo I mRNA. Our results suggest that Topo I is the target of CPT cytotoxicity but it does not affect Topo I extression, and the suppression of c-myc mRNA expression by CPT is due to c-myc damage resulted from formation of a cleavable complex with CPT. CPT.

Although insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and androgen receptor (AR) are well known effectors of skeletal muscle, the molecular mechanism by which signaling pathways integrating AR and IGF-I in skeletal muscle cells has not been previously examined. In this study, the role of PI3K/Akt on IGF-I-induced gene expression and activation of AR in skeletal muscle cells was investigated. C2C12 cells were treated with IGF-I in the absence or presence of inhibitors of PI3K/Akt pathway (LY294002 and Wortmannin). Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway with LY294002 or Wortmannin led to a significant decrease in IGF-I-induced AR phosphorylation and total AR protein expression. Furthermore, IGF-I-induced AR mRNA and skeletal ${\alpha}-actin$ mRNA were blocked by LY294002 or Wortmannin. Confocal images showed that IGF-I-induced AR translocation from cytosol to nucleus was inhibited significantly in response to treatment with LY294002 or Wortmannin. The present results suggest that modulating effect of IGF-I on AR gene expression and activation in C2C12 mouse skeletal muscle cells is mediated at least in part by the PI3K/Akt pathway.

본 연구에서는 C2C12 근육 세포에서 IGF-I이 지방산 저장과 사용에 영향을 미치는 FATP1의 mRNA 및 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 그 결과 IGF-I이 FATP1의 단백질과 mRNA 발현을 유의성 있게 조절하였음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 골격근에서 IGF-I이 근육 관련 유전자들의 발현을 조절하여 근부피 유지 및 증대에 중심적인 역할을 한다는 기존의 연구 패턴들에서 벗어나, IGF-I이 골격근 세포의 분화에 있어 지방산의 수송을 담당하는 FATP1의 발현에도 영향을 미친다는 사실을 증명하였다는데 의의가 있다고 사료된다. 향후 IGF-I에 의한 FATP1의 지방산 저장의 수준과 산화 과정에 있어 상호작용하는 기타 매개체들과의 관계에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
