CD95 receptor is a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor family that mediates apoptosis in many cell types when bound by CD95 ligand or cross-linked by agonistic anti-CD95 antibodies. To determine the role of neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) on CD95-mediatd apoptosis, human Jurkat T lymphocytes were exposed to recombinant human CD95 ligand. Treatment with CD95 ligand induced cell death in a concentration and time-dependent manner. CD95-induced cell death was suppressed by inhibitors of SMase such as AY9944 or desipramine. Transfection with human nSMase1 siRNA plasmid into CD95 ligand-treated cells significantly prevented CD95-mediated cell death. CD95-mediated elevation of intracellular ceramide level detected by FACS analysis with anti-ceramide antibody was also decreased by nSMase1 siRNA. Knock-down of nSMase1 expression also blocked cytochrome c release into cytosol and caspase-3 cleavage in CD95-treated cells. Taken together, these results suggest that nSMase1 may play an important role in CD95-mediated apoptotic cell death in Jurkat T cells.

Background: Apoptosis has been implicated in pathogenesis of various disease. Apo-1/Fas (CD95) is one of the main pathway of apoptosis. To examine the possible relationship between Apo-1/Fas (CD95) and primary knee osteoarthritis, MvaI restriction length polymorphism (RFLP) in human Apo-1/Fas (CD95) gene was assessed. Methods: Genotype and allele frequencies in promoter region in the Apo-1/Fas (CD95) gene were studied by PCR-RFLP in 226 Korean controls and 148 Korean patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. Results: No statistically significant difference in the genotypic distribution and allelic frequencies was found between the control and the knee oateoarthritis patients. But in the severe grade (grade 3, 4) Kellgren-Lawrence score patients, the frequency of $MvaI^*1$ (G) allele was significantly decreased (P=0.0392) and the of $MvaI^*2$ (A) allele frequency was significantly increased (P=0.0473) compared to the normal controls. Conclusion: Apo-1/Fas (CD95) gene polymorphism is a part a determinant factor of severity in knee osteoarthritis, the patients with $MvaI^*2$ (A) allele is more severe radiologic progression. Further substantiation studies are needed in larger patient samples and various other apoptosis related genes to elucidate the mechanism of osteoarthritis, including the Fas ligand gene analysis.

The CD95 (Fas, APO-1) is known to play a key role as a transmembrane cell surface receptor that mediates apoptosis of many cell types through binding with Fas ligand or cross-linking to agonistic anti-Fas antibody. Activation of CD95 provokes a potent and rapid responses in a variety of cell types by unknown mechanism.(omitted)

Purpose: Obesity is related to systemic inflammatory processes causing cardiovascular complications. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), CD40 ligand (CD40L), P-selectin are newly described mediators of inflammation and have a significant effect in atherosclerosis. Adiponectin has shown anti-inflammatory effects in adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between adiponectin and inflammatory mediators in children and adolescents. Methods: Fifty children or adolescents, twenty two with a body mass index (BMI) over 95th percentile, and twenty eight with a BMI below 75th percentile were included in the study. Serum soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1), P-selectin, CD40L, lipid profiles, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, glucose and insulin were measured to evaluate associations with adiponectin. Comparison of these variables was performed between the obese and the nonobese group. Results: We found a adiponectin to be significant lower and sICAM-1 significant higher in the obese group compared to the nonobese group, but there were no significant differences in P-selectin and soluble CD40L. Adiponectin was negatively associated with ICAM-1 and P-selectin in the obese group. Conclusion: Negative associations of adiponectin with ICAM-1 and P-selectin in obese children and adolescents suggest that serum adiponectin level may represent the inflammatory status.

T cells play a central role in the initiation and regulation of the immune response to foreign antigens. Full activation of T cells requires the engagement of T cell receptor complex (TCR) and the binding of a second costimulatory receptor to its ligand expressed on antigen presenting cells (APC). Among the molecules known to provide costimulatory function, CD28 has been the most dominant and potent costimulatory molecule. However, the function of CD28 is becoming more complex due to the recent discovery of its structural homologue, CTLA-4 and ICOS. This review summarizes the biology and physiologic function of each of these receptors, and further focuses on the biochemical mechanism underlying the function of these receptors. Complete understanding of the CD28/CTLA-4/ICOS costimulatory pathway will provide the basis for developing new therapeutic approaches for immunological dieseases.

Tuberculosis (TB), mainly disseminated by infection of the respiratory tract, remains an unsolved community health problem by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). However, because of the different susceptibility to MTB, people infected with MTB do not all develop TB. These differences of disease arise from individual genetic susceptibility as well as the property of the microorganisms itself. CD226, one of the genetic factors that influences TB, interact with its ligand PVR and ITGB2. It is induced various cellular responses that contribute multiple innate and adaptive responses. In a previous study, CD226 enhanced immune efficacy induced by Ag85A DNA vaccination that is secreted protein by MTB. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between six genetic polymorphisms of CD226 gene and TB status with Korean population. Our results show that two SNPs of CD226 were identified to associate with tuberculosis. The highest significant SNP was rs17081766 (OR=0.70, CI: 0.54~0.90, $P=5.4{\times}10^{-3}$). According to this study, polymorphisms of CD226 gene affect the outbreak of TB in MTB-infected patients. It is suggested that polymorphism of other genes also associated with immune responses results in susceptibility to TB. The results from this study suggest that not only the characteristics of the microorganism itself but also the genetic background of the individual may affect progression of TB in MTB-infected patients.

The central cadmium atoms have a capped trigonal prism geometry by seven coordination with six oxygen atoms of three different citrate ligands and one water molecule. Citrate ligands are bridged to three different cadmium atoms. Each cadmium atom is linked by carboxylate and hydroxyl groups of citrate ligand to construct an one-dimensional ladder-type assembly structure. The polymeric crystal structure is stabilized by three-dimensional networks of the intermolecular O-H${\cdots}$O and N-H${\cdots}$O hydrogen-bonding interaction.

It is well known that different expression of Apo-1/Fas (CD95) plays important roles in various tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis. Apo-1/Fas mediated apoptosis is one of the important pathways of apoptosis and is known to mediate apoptotic cell death by fas ligand (FasL). To examine the possible relationship between Apo-1/Fas gene polymorphism and HCC susceptibility, MvaI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of Apo-1/Fas gene was examined in 94 Korean HCC patients and 240 control subjects. No statistically significant difference in the genotypic distribution and allelic frequencies was found between the control and the HCC. It is, therefore, concluded that Apo-1/Fas gene polymorphism is not associated with HCC susceptibility. Further studies are needed in order to clarify the relationships between genotypes of Apo-1/Fas gene and HCC pathogenesis.

고분자 킬래이트의 합성방법을 이용하여 4-vinylpyridine-vinylsulfonic acid-divinylbenzene 이온 교환체를 합성하여 이온 교환 특성실험을 한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 4-vinylpyridine-vinylacetate-divinylbenzene (1)의 합성은 4-vinylpyridine과 vinylacetate의 몰비가 2 : 1 이고 $95{\sim}98^{\circ}C$에서 50분간 가열하였을 경우가 가장 좋은 합성 조건이었으며 4-vinylpyridine-vinylsulfonic acid-divinylbenzene (2) 강산성 이온 교환수지의 양이온과 음이온교환 용량은 4.8meq/g와 2.5meq/g로 양쪽성 이었으며 Dowex 50W-X8과 비슷한 값을 얻었다. (2) pH가 증가할수록 Cd(II), Cu(II) 그리고 Co(II) 금속 이온의 흡착능이 증가하며 흡착력은 금속 양이온의 크기와 전하의 크기가 클수록 Cd(II)>Cu(II)>Co(II)의 순서로 보다 좋은 흡착력을 나타내였다. (3) 알콜의 량이 크다하여도 alkyloxonium이온의 탈수로 인하여 용매의 극성이냐 유전 상수에 미치는 영향이 분자와 이온간의 회합성이 원활하도록 하기 때문에 알콜의 량보다는 알콜의 차수가 흡착에 다소 영향을 미치며 낮은 산 용액과 알콜의 알킬기 차수가 작을수록(t-BuOH
