In this study, a new system to determine the concentration of cholesterol using a color change was developed. The system comprised diacetylene vesicles and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx). 10,12-Pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) was used as the diacetylene compound, and PCDA vesicles were formed using sonication. The H₂O₂ produced during the reaction between cholesterol and ChOx was used to initiate the polymerization of the PCDA in the vesicles. During polymerization, the vesicles changed from colorless to blue. Therefore, the cholesterol concentration was proportional to the intensity of the blue color. The absorption at 665 nm indicated that the blue color was directly proportional to the cholesterol concentration. This indicates that the system can be used for cholesterol detection. The minimum cholesterol concentration detected using this system was 1.0 mM.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of mixture of Gastrodiae rhizoma (GM) on blood amelioration in high cholesterol-diet rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one normal diet and three high cholesterol-diet groups which contained 1 % (w/w) cholesterol diet. The groups of high cholesterol-diet were classified to control (high cholesterol-diet only), GM-1 (high cholesterol-diet and GM) and ST-1 (high cholesterol-diet and Statin drug). The body and organs weight were not significantly changed among the tested groups. Contents of serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were significantly increased in cholesterol-diet groups compared with normal diet group but significantly decreased in the group of GM-1. Morphology of red blood cell in GM-1 group was similar to normal diet group but the control group had many crystals of cholesterol. Hepatic xanthine oxidase activity in the rats of high cholesterol-diet was decreased up to the levels of normal diet group according to oral administration of GM. The results of the present study demonstrate that the orally injection of GM can ameliorate the status of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, and repress xanthine oxidase in liver in high cholesterol-diet rats. These finding suggest that GM is expected to be an effective tea for the blood amelioration in high cholesterol-diet rats.

In this study, cholesterol sensors consisting of a mixture of cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) are constructed on plastic substrates and their sensing characteristics are examined in air. The current of the ChOx-ZnO NP film decreases in magnitude as cholesterol molecules are adsorbed on the film, due to the resulting increase in the number of electrons generated by the reaction between the cholesterol and the ChOx. The cholesterol sensor shows a high sensitivity of $1.08{\mu}A/mM$ and a wide detection range from 10 nM to 1 mM.

가정용 혈중 cholesterol 측정시스템을 개발하고자, 그 성능을 조절할 수 었는 벤수들의 최적화가 수 행되었다. 시스템의 주요 구성성분은 분석에 요구되는 효소들 (cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase, 그리고 horseradish peroxidase) 이 부동화된 nitrocellulose membrane strip과 비 이온세척제 (Tri­t ton X-1OO) 및 발색물질 (3,3'-diaminobenzidine) 이 포함된 시료운반용액이다. 시료와 운반용액이 훈 합된 수용액을 membrane의 하단으로부터 흡수시키 면 모세관현상에 의해 시료는 부통화된 효소층으로 전달되어 연속효소반응이 일어난다. 마지막 효소반 응에서 발색물질은 산화되고 그에 따라 cholesterol 농도에 비례한 특정색이 신호로써 발생된다. 그 신호세기에 대해 효소들의 부동화조건과 운반용액의 화학조성이 최적화되었다. 최적조건 하에서 구성된 측정시스템의 농도응탑곡선은 혈중 cholesterol 농도를 측정하기에 충분히 높은 민감도를 나타내었다.

An actinomycete strain, HSL-613 was isolated -from soil and identified by International Streptomyces Project (ISP) and chemotaxonomic methods. The spore chain of the strain HSL-613 appears in a spiral shape, and its spores are spherical shape with smooth surface. The cell wall contains LL-diaminopimelic acid (DAP). Menaquinone MK-9 (H$_{6}$, H$_{8}$) and iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids were detected from whole cell extract. Sugars identified from whole cell extract include galactose, glucose, mannose and ribose, which are distinct from general sugar patterns of Streptomyces. Average G+C content in the chromosome is 59%. 5S rRNA of HSL-613 consists of 120 nucleotides as determined by comparing with that of a type strain Streptomyces griseus subsp. KCTC 9080. Through morphological, physiological, and chemical characterization, HSL-613 was identified and named as Streptomyces sp. HSL-613.

Natamycin is a widely used antifungal antibiotic. For natamycin biosynthesis, the gene pimE encodes cholesterol oxidase, which acts as a signalling protein. To confirm the positive effect of the gene pimE on natamycin biosynthesis, an additional copy of the gene pimE was inserted into the genome of Streptomyces gilvosporeus 712 under the control of the ermE* promoter (p_ermE*) using intergeneric conjugation. Overexpression of the target protein engendered 72% and 81% increases in the natamycin production and cell productivity, respectively, compared with the control strain. Further improvement in the antibiotic production was achieved in a 1 L fermenter to 7.0 g/l, which was a 153% improvement after 120 h cultivation. Exconjugants highly expressing pimE and pimM were constructed to investigate the effects of both genes on the increase of natamycin production. However, the co-effect of pimE and pimM did not enhance the antibiotic production obviously, compared with the exconjugants highly expressing pimE only. These results suggest not only a new application of cholesterol oxidase but also a useful strategy to genetically engineer natamycin production.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E on liver microsomal cytochrome P450 contents and xanthine oxidase activity in acute cadmium poisoned rats. Sprague Dawley male rats weighing 100$\pm$10g were randomly assigned to one normal and three cadmium injected groups. Cadmium injected groups were fed vitamin E free diet(0E Cd group), 40mg vitamin E per kg diet(40E Cd group) or 400mg vitamin E per kg diet(400E Cd group). Vitamin E level of normal group was 40mg per kg diet. Animals were injected intraperitoneally with 2.0mg Cd2+/kg bw for 4 days after the rats were fed diets with three different levels of vitamin E for 2 and 4 weeks. Body weight, food intake and feed efficiency ratio of cadmium injected animals, were decreased compared with those of normal group. The weights of liver and kidney in cadmium injected groups were not different from those of normal group. Cadmium contents of liver in cadmium groups were 160 fold higher those that of normal group. Accumulation of cadmium poisoned rat liver was reduced by vitamin E supplementation. Contents of blood hemoglobin and hematocrit in 0E Cd groups were decreased to 2~ 14% of those of the other groups. Contents of serum triglyceride in all experimental groups were not significantly different each other. Levels of serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and antherogenic index in 0E Cd and 40E Cd groups were higher than those of normal group, while the contents of HDL cholesterol in 0E Cd and 40E Cd groups were lower than those of normal group. Xanthine oxidase(XOD) activity and cytochrome P450 contents in the liver were significantly increased in cadmium injected groups but these were reduced by vitamin E supplementations. The present results indicate that acute cadmium poisoning in rats causes increasing free radical generation systems in the liver and that leads to liver tissue damage. But these abnormalities can be reduced by dietary vitamin E supplementations.

Because the cholesterol oxidase from Brevibacterium sp. M201008 was not as stable as the free enzyme form, it had been covalently immobilized onto chemically modified Sepharose particles via N-ethyl-N'-3-dimethylaminopropyl carbodiimide. The optimum immobilization conditions were determined, and the immobilized enzyme activity obtained was 12.01 U/g Sepharose-ethylenediamine. The immobilization of the enzyme was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The immobilized enzyme exhibited the maximal activity at $35^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5, which was unchanged compared with the free form. After being repeatedly used 20 times, the immobilized enzyme retained more than 40.43% of its original activity. The immobilized enzyme showed better operational stability, including wider thermal and pH ranges, and retained 62.87% activity after 20 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$, which was longer than the free enzyme.

본 연구에서는 심혈관계 질환의 표지인자인 콜레스테롤의 농도를 새롭게 개발한 형광 크로마토그라피 방법에 의하여 측정 하고자 시도하였다. 개발된 측정 시스템은 크로마토그라피 스트립이 들어 있는 카트리지, 발색제 AEC, 콜레스테롤 옥사데이즈 (Cholesterol Oxidase, CO), 콜레스테롤 에스트라아제(Cholesterol Esterase, CE), 호스래 디쉬페록시다아제 (Horseradish peroxidase, HRP)를 포함하는 효소혼합 수용액, 그리고 형광 판독기로 구성되어 었다. 콜레스테롤 농도 변화에 따른 형광 세기 변화로 얻은 상관계수 r= 0.968로 측정 가능한 농도 범위에서 신뢰할 만한 직선성 관계를 제시하여 주었다. 회복률과 Hitachi 747 검사기기와 비교 테스트에서는 각각 106.5-94%와 상관관계 r = 0.939 (p<0.001)로 비교적 높은 유의성을 보여주었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 새로운 콜레스테롤 농도 측정법은 빠른 반응 시간 (8분)과 적은 시료량 ($5\;{\mu}l$)을 사용하기에 시료를 실험실로 운반할 필요없이 클리닉에서 측정 가능한 준현장검사 플랫폼형으로 개발되었으며 기존의 고가의 자동화 장비를 사용하는 생화학적 진단방식 대체용으로의 응용이 기대된다.
