  • Objectives: This study was carried out to find the effects of Changchuldoin-tanggamibang (hereinafter referred to CDIT) on the inhibition of arthritis induced by collagen on DBA/1J mouse. Methods: The experimental mice were divided into four groups: normal group (Nr), control group (CIA-CT), methotrexate group (CIA-MTX), and Changchuldoin-tanggamibang group (CIA-CDIT). Cytotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, arthritis index, value of immunocytes in draining lymph node and paw joint, and rheumatoid factor (IgG, IgM) in serum were measured in vivo. Results: 1. Cytotoxicity against hFCs was not shown in any concentration. 2. Hepatotoxicity was low in the CDIT-treated group compared with the MTX group. 3. The arthritis index decreased significantly. 4. In total cell counts of DLN and paw joint, the cells in DLN increased significantly while there was a significant decrease in paw joint. 5. In lymph nodes, CD19+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD3+/CD8+, CD3+/CD69+, CD4+/CD25+, CD3+/CD49b+, and CD4+/CD44+ cells increased significantly, while B220+/CD23+, and CD11c+/MHCII+ cells decreased significantly. 6. In joints, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD25+, and CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells decreased significantly. 7. The level of IgG decreased and the level of IgM significantly decreased compared with the control. 8. Anti-collagen II in serum decreased compared with the control. 9. Around the joint of the CDIT group, infiltration of inflammation, synovial hyperplasia, invasion of cytokine, of cartilage, deposition of collagen and synovial injury decreased compared with the control in histopathologic observation (HE, MT staining). Conclusions: Comparison of the results for this study showed that CDIT had immunomodulatory effects. We expect that CDIT could be used as a effective drug for not only rheumatoid arthritis but also another auto-immune diseases. Therefore, we have to survey continuously, looking for effective substances and mechanisms in the future.

  • These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of Glycyrrhizae Radix extract(GR) on histamine synthesis, lymphocyte blastogenesis in C57BL/6J mice splenocytes, IL-1 production, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake by macrophage-like P388D$_{1}$ cells and plaque forming cell assay against SRBC. Histamine contents, lymphocyte blastogenesis, IL-1 activity, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake and plaque forming cell were determined by enzyme isotope method, [$^{3}$H]-thymidine incorporation, C3H/HeJ mouse thymocytes proliferation, the addition of 5 $\mu$Ci/ml $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ to P388D$_{1}$ cell suspension and assay to sheep red blood cell, respectively. Cytotoxicity, which was expressed as 50% mortality, was occurred by the addition of GR(10$^{-3}$g/ml). Histamine production in mouse spleen cell culture was significantly increased by 48 hour incubation added 0.25$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A. Con A-dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation was also enhanced by the addition of 0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A. GR depressed histamine contents at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml. and Con A (0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation at 10$^{-5}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml. IL-1 activity was significantly decreased by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml of GR. $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was not changed by GR, but antibody production markedly increased at 10.0~50.0 mg/kg of GR. From the above results, it is suggested that GR have immuno-regulatory action; GR decreased cell-mediated immune response and increased antibody production by B lymphocyte at high doses.

  • 망막색소변성(retinitis pigmentosa: RP)과 연령관련 황반변성(age-related macular Degeneration: AMD)은 망막변성으로 인해 실명에 이르는 대표적인 질환이며 망막이식장치의 개발을 통해 치료될 수 있다고 간주되고 있다. 성공적인 망막이식장치 개발을 위하여 여러 가지 선결요소가 필요하지만 그 중 한 가지가 이식장치에 인가할 전기자극을 최적화하는 것이다. 변성망막의 전기적 특성은 정상 망막과 다르리라 예측되므로 우리는 장차 개발될 망막 이식장치에 인가할 전기자극 최적화를 위한 가이드라인을 제공하기 위해 정상 망막과 변성망막의 망막파형 차이에 관한 연구를 하였다. 망막을 분리한 후 망막절편을 신경절세포 층이 다채널전극의 표면을 향하게 하여 전극에 붙인다. In-vitro 상태에서 망막 신경절세포의 전기신호를 기록하기 위해 전극 직경: $30{\mu}m$, 전극간 거리: $200{\mu}m$, 전극 임피던스 1 kHz에서 50 $k{\Omega}$인 8행 8열의 다채널전극을 사용하였다. 생후 28일된 정상마우스(C57BL/6J 종)에서는 짧은 시간대(<2 ms)의 망막 스파이크만 기록되었다. rd/rd 마우스(C3H/HeJ 종)에서는 정상적인 스파이크뿐만 아니라 약 100 ms 의 시간대를 가지는 느린 파형이 같이 기록되었다. 우리는 rd/rd 마우스에서만 관찰되는 이 느린 파형의 기전을 알아보고자 여러 가지 시냅스억제제를 사용하였다. 이 느린 파형은 rd/rd 마우스에서 양극세포로부터 신경절세포로 들어오는 흥분성입력이 정상마우스보다 강화되었기 때문에 발생한 것으로 보인다. rd/rd 마우스에서 흥분성입력이 강화되는 여러 가능성 중에서 망막변성으로 인해 수평세포로부터 양극세포로 들어오는 억제성 입력이 소실됨으로 인해 결과적으로 양극세포로부터 신경절세포로 들어오는 흥분성입력이 강화되었을 가능성이 가장 높은 것으로 보인다.

  • Cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is a satiety factor that is regulated by leptin. It was reported that the mice intracerebroventricularly injected with CART showed behavioral changes resembled with the typical behavioral alterations found in the mice carrying disorders in the brain serotonergic (5-HT) system. Hence, this study was conducted to find out the relationships between CART and 5-HT. We first examined the mRNA levels of CART after the injections of para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA, 300 mg/kg i.p., single injection or daily for three consecutive days) in the rat brains by in situ hybridization using the mouse CART cDNA probe cloned in our laboratory. Systemic administrations of pCPA, a potent inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate limiting enzyme of 5-HT biosynthesis, acutely depletes the brain 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), which reuptakes terminal 5-HT. Results indicated that the mRNA level of CART significantly decreased in the arcuate nucleus, paraventricular nucleus, and lateral hypothalamic nucleus by three days of daily injection with pCPA with no noticeable change detected 24 hrs after the single injection. The message levels of 5-HTT in DRN decreased in both single and three days of injections. Secondly, to investigate whether CART affect to 5-HT, mouse genomic CART gene, which is consist of 3 exons and 2 introns and mouse neurofilament light (NF-L) chain promoter were cloned. Then, we constructed neuron specific expression vector, which was transfected into HeLa cell using lipid-mediated transfection system. Expression of GFP and CART linked to NF-L-chain promoter in the transfected HeLa cell were detected by using fluorescent microscope and RT-PCR. These results confirmed normal expression of DNA constructs in vitro. Then, to increase brain specific expression of CART in vivo transgenic mice carrying CART gene controlled the deleted NF-L-chain promoter were generated by the DNA microinjection into pronuclei of fertilized embryos. Transgenic mice were detected by Southern blot. Further study is necessary to examine CART expression and 5-HTT in these transgenic mice. Therefore, these results suggest that there maybe a positive molecular correlation between CART and 5-HT in responding to the stimuli.

  • Positional cloning (map-based cloning) of mutations or genetic variations has been served as an invaluable tool to understand in-vivo functions of genes and to identify molecular components underlying phenotypes of interest. Mice homozygous for the cerebellar deficient folia (cdf) mutation are ataxic, with cerebellar hypoplasia and abnormal lobulation of the cerebellum. In the cdf mutant cerebellum approximately 40% of Purkinje cells are ectopically located within the white matter and the inner granule cell layer (IGL). To identify the cdf gene, a high-resolution genetic map for the cdf-gene-encompassing region was constructed using 1997 F2 mice generated from C3H/HeSnJ-cdf/cdf and CAST/Ei intercross. The cdf gene showed complete linkage disequilibrium with three tightly linked markers D6Mit208, D6Mit359, and D6Mit225. A contig using YAC, BAC, and P1 clones was constructed for the cdf critical region to identify the gene. A deletion in the cdf critical region on chromosome 6 that removes approximately 150kb of DNA was identified. A gene associated with this deletion was identified using cDNA selection. cdf mutant mice with the transgenic copy of the identified gene restored the brain abnormalities of the mutant mice. The positional cloning of cdf gene provides a good example showing the identification of a gene could lead to finding a new component of important molecular pathways.

Con A dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation was also enhanced by the addition of 0.25 .mu.g/ml of Con A. The effects of GL on histamine contents and T-lymphocyte proliferation were significantly decreased at high dose (10$^{-5}$M), while IL-1 activity was remarkably suppressed by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$M of GL. $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was not changed, but antibody production was increased by GL(10 mg/kg). GA inhibited histamine contents at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-7}$ and depressed Con A (0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation at 10$^{-7}$~10$^{-5}$M of GA, but increased suboptimal dose (Con A 0.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-7}$M of GA. IL-1 activity was suppressed by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$M of GA and $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was enhanced by 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-6}$ of GA, but antibody production was not changed by GA. From the above results, it is suggested that GL and GA have immuno-regulatory action. GL decreased cell-mediated immune response, and increased humoral immune response at high dose. On the other hand, low dose of GA enhanced cell-mediated immune response, while high doses of GA decreased humoral immune reaction.

  • Recent study has demonstrated an increasing prevalence of food allergy in Korean children. Specific probiotic bacteria may promote potentially anti-allergenic processes through induction of Th1-type immunity and enhance the regulatory lymphocyte. This study investigated whether orally administrated probiotics could suppress allergic responses in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergy mouse model. Thus, female C3H/HeJ mice were orally sensitized with OVA and cholera toxin for 4 weeks. Lactobacillus acidophilus AD031, Bifidobacterium lactis AD011, and L. acidophilus AD031 plus B. lactis AD011 were fed to mice from 2 weeks before the sensitization. The OVA-induced mice that were not treated with probiotics had significantly increased serum levels of OVA-specific IgE and IgG1, and OVA-specific IgA in feces. However, the mice treated with probiotics suppressed production of the OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, and IgA. The level of IL-4 was significantly lower, and the levels of INF-$\gamma$ and IL-10 were significantly higher in the mice treated with probiotics than that in the non-treated mice. The groups treated with probiotics had decreased levels of degranulated mast cells, eosinophil granules, and tail scabs. These results indicate that L. acidophilus AD031 and B. lactis AD011 might be useful for the prevention of allergy.

  • 한국형 인공시각장치 개발 목적으로 토끼망막을 사용하여 차후 개발될 인공시각장치에 인가하기 위한 적절한 전기자극 파라미터를 추출하는 실험을 수행하였다. 유전적 망막변성모델인 RD mouse (rd/rd (C3H/HeJ))를 망막질환모델로 사용하기 앞서 본 연구에서는 SD rat을 사용하여 설치류의 생후성숙기간 동안 변화하는 망막신경절세포의 빛 자극에 대한 변화 양상을 전반적으로 파악하는 control 실험을 하였다. 망막신경절세포의 흥분파는 8${\times}$8의 MEA (multi- electrode array)로 기록하였다. 개안 이전시기(pre-eye opening period)인 생후 15일까지는 망막신경절세포의 자발적 집단발사현상 (moving spontaneous bursts)이 옮겨 다니는 것을 발견하였다. 이 시기의 쥐들은 시각기능이 완성되지 않아 빛 자극에 의해 유발되는 흥분파를 보이지 않으며 오로지 이들의 촉각(tactile sense)에 의하여서만 이동하는 것을 관찰하였다. 그러나 생후 2주(post-eye opening period)가 지나면, 빛 자극에 의해 ON, OFF, ON/OFF 반응이 유발됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 전체적인 ON, OFF, 그리고 ON/OFF 망막신경절세포의 양상은 각각 $40\%,\;50\%,\;5\%$였으며, 이들 세포가 확인된 안구에서의 해부학적인 위치는 등쪽 관자방향(dorso-temporal)이 $50\%$, 배쪽 방향(ventral)이 $37.5\%$, 그리고 등쪽 코 방향(dorso-nasal)이 $12.5\%$로 나타났다. 설치류 망막을 대상으로 빛 자극에 의한 반응을 알아보는 실험을 할 때 생후 2${\~}$3주령이 가장 적합한 시기임을 확인하였다. 것이 바람직하다고 판단되었다.의한 발아촉진 효과는 종피의 탈색과 부식으로 인한 광흡수의 증대에서 기인되는 것으로 추측된다.3월 8일과 3월 15일 피복처리구의 그린업이 가장 효과적이었다. 한국잔디 및 한지형 잔디의 비닐 피복으로 인한 초봄 그린업 촉진시 유의할 점은 충분한 수분 유지를 위해 비닐 피복전에 관수를 하거나 비온 후에 비닐 피복하는 것이 좋으며, 비닐 제거시 잔디의 일소현상의 피해를 줄이기 위해 흐린날 비닐을 제거하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단되었다.유발식이 급여로 $524\%$가 증가된 동맥경화지수는 질경이 에틸아세테이트 분획 병합투여로 대조군에 비하여 $40.2\%,\;51.2\%$가 감소됨으로써 동맥경화 발병 위험율이 대조군에 비하여 감소되었다. HDL-콜레스테롤 함량/총콜레스테롤 함량 비는 고콜레스테롤혈증 유발 식이 급여로 정상군보다 $73.9\%$가 감소됐으나 질경이 에틸아세테이트 분획 병합투여로 대조군에 비하여 유의한 증가를 나타냈다. 26두가 발정 반응($96.3\%$)을 나타내어 2.75${\~}$3.5의 경우가 2.50 이하의 경우에 비하여 높은 발정반응을 나타내었다.osterone과 0.40의 정의 상관이었고 근내지방도와 creatinine 농도간에는 -0.55의 비교적 높은 음의 상관계수가 추정되었으나 유의성은 인정되지 않았다. 6. 한우 비거세우의 도살시 혈청 성분 농도와 도체형질과의 상관에서 육량지수는 연령에 대해 보정한 HDLC 농도와 -0.71의 음의 상관이었으며, 도체율은 globulin과 0.70의 높은 정의 상관이었고, 등지방두께는 연령으로 보정된 HDLC와 0.69로 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 도체중은 triglyceride와 0.51의 정의 상관, 배최장근단면적은 testosterone과 -0.91,

  • 수태기간중 태아가 모체에 의해 면역학적으로 거부반응을 일으키지 않고 동종이식 상태로 유지되는 기작을 밝히는 연구의 일환으로 C3H/HeJ계의 암컷 생쥐와 DBA/2계의 수컷 생쥐를 교배하여 모체에서 발생되는 체계적인 면역기능 및 국소적 면역기능현상에 대하여 연구하고자 수태기 간별로 비 장 및 자궁으로 들어가는 림프절에서 T세포 및 B세포의 아형을 측정하였고 자연살해 세포의 활성도를 측정하였다. 또한 수태혈청 및 수태성 호르몬이 자연살해세포의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 각 수태기간별로 비장세포에 있어서 T세포와 B세포의 아형을 관찰한 결과, Thy-1.2$^{+}$세포는 수태기간중 중기 이후에 감소하기 시작하여 수태 4기에는 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였으며 수태말기에는 회복하였다. L3T4$^{+}$세포도 Thy-1.2$^{+}$ 세포와 비교하여 비슷한 경향으로 감소 또는 증가하였다. Ly2$^{+}$세포는 수태중기 이후부터 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였으며 B세포는 수태중기 이후부터 수태말기까지 계속 증가하였다. 비장에 있어서 자연살해세포의 세포독성은 수태 5일에서 수태 8일 사이에 가장 증가하였으며 그 이후는 대조군 수준으로 감소하였다. 정상혈청 및 수태혈청의 자연살해세포의 세포독성에 대한 영향을 수태시기별로 조사한 결과, 정상혈청과 수태혈청 모두 자연살해세포의 세포독성을 유의하게 억제하였으며, Progesterone은 시험관내실험과 생체내 실험 모두 약리적인 농도이상에서 농도에 의존적으로 자연살해세포의 세포독성을 증가시켰으며, HCG는 5 unit/ml에서 5000 unit/ml까지 처리농도에 비례하여 자연살해세포의 세포독성을 억제하였다. 자궁으로 들어가는 림프절에서 T세포의 아형은 Thy-1.2$^{+}$세포는 수태 2기부터 증가하여 대조군에 보다 유의하게 증가하였으며, L3T4$^{+}$세포의 유의한 변화없이 Ly2$^{+}$세포가 수태 2기 이후부터 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였고 분만 직전에는 조금 감소하였다. 자궁으로 들어가는 림프절에서의 자연살해세포의 세포독성은 착상직후 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 증가하였으며, 수태중기와 수태후기에도 대조군에 비하여 세포독성이 증가하였으며, 같은 시기의 비장세포의 자연살해세포의 세포독성보다 높게 나타났다.
