본 연구는 육계에 오메가 3계열을 다량 함유한 정어리유 1%와 쑥의 급여수준(0, 1, 2, 4%)에 따라 4처리구로(T1, T2, T3, T4)구분하여 5주간 급여 후 도계하여 대퇴 부위 근육을 냉장온도$(4{\pm}1^{\circ}C)$에서 10일간 저장하면서 pH, VBN, TBARS 및 육색의 변화를 조사하였다. 증체량은 T3구에서 가장 낮았으며, pH는 대조구에 비하여 처리구에서 높았고, 저장 기간이 경과하면서 유의성 있게 상승하였다(P<0.05). VBN과 TBARS는 처리구에서 저장기간이 지남에 따라 증가하였을지라도 대조구는 처리구에 비하여 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 육색은 처리구에서 $L^*$과 $b^*$값이 대조구보다 높은 경향이었다. 이상의 실험 결과로 미루어 육계사료에서 정어리유를 1%급여시에 2%까지 첨가하면 계육의 품질 및 저장성 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

단결정 적층막을 제조하기 위해 사용되는 사파이어 기판에 대하여 황산과 인산의 혼합용액 화학적 에칭을 조사하였다. 여러가지 배향면의 사파이어에 대한 에칭정도는 황산과 인산의 3:1 조성과 $315{\pm}2^{\circ}C$에서 에칭시간에 의존하였다. 280~320$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 30분간씩 산에칭시킨 후에 에칭속도(R)를 구하였고, log R에 대한 $1/T$ semilog plot로부터 활성화에너지$(E_a)$를 구하였으며, 그것은 $({\bar1}012) > (10{\bar1}0) > (11{\bar2}0) > (0001)$면 순서로 감소하였다. 한편 (0001), $({\bar1}012),\;(10{\bar1}0)$과 $(11{\bar2}0)$면의 표층 두께를 각각 64.6, 46.5, 16.2와 5.1 ${\mu}m$ 에칭시킨 후의 기판 표면을 SEM으로 관찰하였다.

The accelerated stability of dimethoxy biphenyl monocarboxylate.HCl (DDB-S) was investigated in 6 mg/mL water solution in the pH ranging 2-10 and the temperature of $45-85^{\circ}C$. The observed rate of degradation followed first-order kinetics. The energy of activation for DDB-S degradation was calculated to be 14.1 and 16.5 $Kcal/mole$ at pH 5 and in distilled watery respectively. The degradation rate constant ($K_{25^{\circ}C}$) obtained by trending line analysis of Arrhenius plots for DDB-S was $5.3{\times}10^{-6}h^{-1}$. The times to degrade 10% ($t_{10}$) and 50% $t_{500}$) at $K_{25^{\circ}C}$ were 829 and 5,416 days, respectively. DDB-S exhibited the fastest degradation at pH 10 and the slowest rate at pH 5. In addition, at $K_{65^{\circ}C}$, degradation rate constants of DDB-S were 0.066, 0.059, 5.460, 32.171, and $1.4{\times}10^{-6}h^{-1}$ at pH 2, 5, 8, 10 and in distilled water, respectively. These observations indicated that the rate-pH profile of DDB-S showed general acid-base catalysis reaction in the range of pH 2-10.

Exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) induces apoptosis in mammalian cells, The caspase group of proteases is required for the appotosis. This pathway is initiated by a release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol. Several Bcl-2 family proteins can regulate the release of cytochrome c by stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane. Here we show that expression of the endogenous bcl-xL was strongly downregulated in NIH3T3 cells within 2 h after UV-C irradiation, and that of bax was upregulated from 8 h after irradiation. Apoptosis was induced in more than 50% of the NIH3T3 cells 48 h after irradiation. Constitutive overexpression of bcl-xL in NIH3T3 cells protected the UV-induced apoptosis by preventing the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the activation of caspase 9. There results suggest that downregulation of Bcl-xL is relevant to UV-induced apoptosis of tibroblasts.

Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene helps to regulate energy homeostasis in mammals by controlling energy expenditure. In addition, FTO functions in the regulation of obesity and adipogenic differentiation; however, a role in osteogenic differentiation is unknown. This study investigated the effects of FTO on osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells and the underlying mechanism. Expression of osteogenic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers were characterized by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was performed to assess ALP activity. BMP2 treatment increased mRNA expression of osteogenic genes and FTO. Overexpression of FTO increased expression of the osteogenic genes distal-less homeobox5 (Dlx5) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). Activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) increased FTO expression, and there was a positive feedback loop between FTO and p-AMPK. p-AMPK and FTO induced mild ER stress; however, tunicamycin-induced severe ER stress suppressed FTO expression and AMPK activation. In summary, FTO induces osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells upon BMP2 treatment by inducing mild ER stress via a positive feedback loop with p-AMPK. FTO expression and AMPK activation induce mild ER stress. By contrast, severe ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation by suppressing FTO expression and AMPK activation.

Previously, we reported that vitamin C facilitates the CpG demethylation of Foxp3 enhancer in $CD4^+Foxp3^+$ regulatory T cells (Tregs) by enhancing the activity of a DNA demethylase ten-eleven-translocation (Tet). However, it is not clear whether vitamin C affects other helper T cell lineages like T helper type 17 (Th17) cells which are related with Tregs. Here, we show that the expression of interleukin-17A (IL17) increases with the treatment of vitamin C but not with other antioxidants. Interestingly, the upregulation of IL17 was not accompanied by DNA demethylation in Il17 promoter and was independent of Tet enzymes. Rather, vitamin C reduced the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3) in the regulatory elements of the Il17 locus, and the effects of vitamin C were abrogated by knockdown of jumonji-C domain-containing protein 2 (jmjd2). These results suggest that vitamin C can affect the expression of IL17 by modulating the histone demethylase activity.

A novel gene, designated mgt-6, containing four splicing variants, was isolated from a gene trap clone library of C3H/10T1/2 cells transfected with retroviral promoterless gene-trap vector, ROSAFARY. The transcript variants were differentially expressed in murine tissues and cell lines and differentially responded to diverse stimuli including TGF-${\beta}1$ and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors. The mgt-6 gene encoded a protein of 37 or 11 amino acid residuals with cytoplasmic distribution. However, when C3H/10T1/2 cells were treated with 5-azacytidine, the protein translocated into cell nucleus as indicated by fused LacZ or C-terminally tagged EGFP. Our preliminary results suggest that further study on the role of mgt-6 gene in cell transformation and differentiation may be of significance.

본 시험은 육계에 대한 생균제, 일라이트, 활성탄 및 목초액의 사료적 가치를 평가하기 위하여 생균제 0.2%(T1)와 일라이트(T2), 활성탄(T3) 및 목초액(T4)을 각각 1.0%를 broiler 200수에 급여하여 증체량, 사료 섭취량, pH, 전단력, 관능 평가, 육색 및 지방산 함량을 분석하였다. 증체량은 전기 사료 급여 시에 C보다 T1과 T4에서 유의적으로 높았고, 후기 사료 급여 시는 C와 T4보다 T1, T2 및 T3에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 사료 효율은 처리구간에 유의성이 없었다. 계육의 일반 성분 중 수분과 조단백질 및 조회분은 유의성이 없으며, 조지방은 대조구보다 처리구에서 낮은 함량을 보였다. 가열 감량은 T3와 T4에서 낮았으며, 보수성은 T3와 T4에서 높았다. 관능 평가 결과 연도는 C가 가장 높고 T4가 제일 낮아 연도 개선 효과를 보였다. 육색 중 적색도$(a^*)$ 및 황색도$(b^*)$ 값은 모든 처리구에서 차이가 없었으나, 명도$(L^*)$값은 T1, T2, T3 및 T4에서 대조구보다 높았다(P<0.05). 포화 지방산인 stearic acid 함량은 C보다 T1, T2, T3 및 T4에서 낮았으며, 불포화 지방산인 oleic acid 함량은 대조구보다 처리구에서 높았다(P<0.05). 결론적으로 육계 사료에 목초액을 1% 첨가 급여할 경우 경쟁력 있는 브랜드 계육의 생산이 가능하며, 농가 소득 증대에 크게 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

In order to determine whether peach contains compounds to regulate adipocyte differentiation, extracts of flesh/pericarp of yellow/white peach were prepared in water, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), or n-butanol solvent and determined for effects on adipocyte differentiation in C3H10T1/2 or 3T3-L1 cells. Interestingly, none of peach extracts has statistically significant stimulatory effect on the adipocyte differentiation in C3H10T1/2. Furthermore, the presence of EtOAc extract of white peach pericarp (WPP) was found to inhibit lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells both by microscopic examination of Oil Red O-stained lipid droplets and by spectrophotometric quantification of extracted stain, indicating a significant inhibitory effect on adipocyte differentiation. The inhibition of lipid accumulation was accompanied by a significant decrease in the expression levels of adipocyte molecular markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor $\gamma$, CAAT enhancer binding protein $\alpha$, and fatty acid-binding protein. Thus, this study determined that WPP EtOAc extract contains the inhibitory compound(s) on adipogenesis.
