Lonicera japonica Thunb.(Caprifoliaceae) has long been known as an anti-inflammatory. In the present study, the effect of water fraction of Lonicera japonica (LJ) on trypsin-induced mast cell activation was examined. HMC-1 cells were stimulated with trypsin (100 nM) in the presence or absence of LJ (10, 100, and 1000 $\mu$ g/mL). TNF-$\alpha$ and tryptase production were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription-PCR. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation was assessed by Western blot. Trypsin activity was measured by using Bz-DL-Arg-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) as substrate. LJ (10, 100, and 1000 $\mu$g/mL) inhibited TNF-$\alpha$ secretion in a dose-dependent manner. LJ (10, 100, and 1000 $\mu$g/mL) also inhibited TNF-$\alpha$ and tryptase mRNA expression in trypsin-stimulated HMC-1. Furthermore, LJ inhibited trypsin-induced ERK phosphorylation. However, LJ did not affect the trypsin activity even 1000 $\mu$g/mL. These results indicate that LJ may inhibit trypsin-induced mast cell activation through the inhibition of ERK phosphorylation than the inhibition of trypsin activity.

본 연구에서는 기능적 특성이 우수한 우유 단백질 소재를 개발하여 식품산업에 응용하고자 우유 ${\alpha}$-La의 영양생리학적 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 우유 ${\alpha}$-La의 기능성을 향상 시키려는 시도로써 MTGase의 첨가가 이 단백질의 이화학적 및 면역학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 수종의 암세포주의 생육에 대한 억제 효과를 탐색하였으며, ${\alpha}$-La의 구조적 상태에 따라 항암활성의 관련성을 검토하였다. ${\alpha}$-La에 반응한 MTGase에 의해 생성된 중합체는 인체 내 가수분해효소에 의해 분해가 용이한 것으로 확인되었다. 위암 세포주에 ${\alpha}$-La을 10 mg/mL 농도로 처리한 경우 높은 세포독성을 나타냈다. ${\alpha}$-La과 올레산의 복합체인 BAMLET은 간암 세포주에서 ${\alpha}$-La에 비해 더 강한 활성을 보였다. BAMLET은 apo 상태로 상당량의 이차구조를 지니고 있지만, 소수성 중심부는 느슨하게 형성된 MG와 같은 형태를 지니고 있을 것으로 추정되었다. NMR 분석 결과, BAMLET은 1.2 ppm과 0.8 ppm에서 지방산 보조인자인 올레산과 상호 작용하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Poncirus trifoliata fruit (PTF) affects the digestive and cardiovascular systems, and kidney function. The authors studied the effects of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract of PTF on the activities of osteoblasts and in an animal model. The main compounds of the EtOAc extract, naringin and poncirin have been confirmed by HPLC and NMR analysis. Effects of osteoblastic differentiation were measured by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteopontin (OPN) protein expression and osteoprotegerin (OPG) mRNA expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. Also, osteoclast differentiation was measured by multinucleated cells (MNCs) formation through tartrate resistance acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive staining. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured before and after treatment with EtOAc extract of PTF in prednisolone-induced osteoporotic mice. Dexamethasone (DEX) decreased OPN and OPG expression level in MC3T3-E1 cells and ALP activity was decreased by DEX dose-dependently. EtOAc extract of PTF recovered the levels of ALP activity, and the expression of OPN and OPG in MC3T3-E1 cells treated with DEX. In osteoclast differentiation, multinucleated TRAP-positive cell formation was significantly suppressed by the EtOAc extract of PTF. Total body BMD was restored by EtOAc extract of PTF in prednisolone-induced osteoporotic mice. In conclusion, EtOAc extract of PTF recovered DEX-mediated deteriorations in osteoblastic and osteoclastic functions, and increased BMD in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

방오도료로 많이 쓰이던 유기주석화합물은 일반생물에게 미치는 독성이 매우 강하고 또한 내분비계 장애물질임이 밝혀지면서 이를 대체할 화합물들이 개발되고 있다. 그 가운데 본 연구에서는 Sea-Nine 211(4,5-dichlore-2-n-octyl-3(2H) isothiazolone)을 사용하여 이 화합물이 해양생물 특히 저서생물인 패류에게 얼마나 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 강원도 북부 해역에 주로 서식하는 북방대합(Pseudocardium sachalinensis)에게 Sea-Nine 211을 강제적으로 주사하여 alkoxyresorufin 탈알킬화효소인 EROD와 MROD의 활성 변화를 4일째까지 조사하였고, 비교를 위해서 tributyltin chloride (TBTC)도 사용하였다. 그 결과, CYP1A1의 지표효소인 EROD활성은 Sea-Nine 211 및 TBTC주사구 모두 sham구와 차이가 없었지만, CYP1A2의 지표효소인 MROD활성은 Sea-Nine 211 주사구가 sham구에 비해 유의적으로 높았으므로 Sea-Nine 211에 의해 유도된 것이라 여겨진다. 이것은 북방대합에도 CYP1A2가 존재할 수 있음을 보여준다.

This study was devised to elucidate whether soused shrimp exhibits a digestive action on boiled pork meats. and the mechanism by which sousing with a high concentration of sodium chloride preserves nutrients in foods for a prolonged pe\ulcornerriod. Protease was isolated from soused shrimp using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation. DEAE - cellulose ion exchange chromatography and gel filtra\ulcornertion. The isolated protease had specific activity of 1.560 units. 210 purification fo\ulcornerld with an yield of 38%. Its optimum pH and temperature were 8.0 and $43^{\circ}C$ respectively. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 35.000. The Km value of the enzyme for casein was 1.6 x $10^{-6}$ M The e=yme required the presence of cu\ulcornerpric ion to exhibit its full activity. Eighty eight percent of the enzyme activity was in\ulcornerhibited by 3.5M NaCI showing a reversibly linear decrease of the enzyme activity as NaCI concentration increased. The nature of the inhibition by NaCl was rever\ulcornersible and noncompetitive. The protease activity in soused shrimp was well preser\ulcornerved with the elapse of time at least in part due to NaCI induced suppression of autodigestion. The enzyme was denatured by acid easily. i.e. 1% of the original activity remained after staying at pH 2 for 10 minutes. which is within the norm\ulcorneral range of pH of the human stomach. Soused shrimp was observed to be one of those containing the highest protease activity compared with the other soused foo\ulcornerds such as soused oyster. squid. clam. and Pollack intestine with respect to spec\ulcornerific activities of dialized 1:4 whole homogenates(w/v) in 5 mM sodium phospha\ulcornerte - 2.4 mM j3 - mercaptoethanol buffer. pH 8.0. Casein and boiled meats including pork, beef, and chicken appeared to be the good substrates for the protease. Casein was the best. Therefore. the ingestion of boiled meats including pork together with soused sh\ulcornerrimp would help digestion of boiled pork in human not only by increasing appe\ulcornertite also by the direct proteolytic digestion of boiled meats by soused shrimp to\ulcorner some extent. And a high concentration of sodium chloride inhibited the protease activity reversibly in a remarkable degree, which ensued in a significant retardat\ulcornerion of autodigestion of protein in foods by proteases, and hereby contributed to the preservation of foods for an extended period.

본 실험은 볼락 종묘를 안정적으로 대량 생산하는 데 필 수적인 자치어기의 성장과 소화효소인 trypsin, pepsin-like enzyme, amylase 그리고 lipase의 activity를 측정하여 소화생리에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 산출 직후 자어의 체장은 $5.01{\pm}0.22 mm$이었던 것이 산출 후 100일에는 $36.01{\pm}1.22 mm$ 까지 성장하였고, 습중량은 산출 후 70일 전후로 급격히 증가하였다. trysin 활성은 산출후 2일째 처음으로 확인되어 $7.00{\pm}1.48$ unit을 나타내고 산출후 66일 $1425{\pm}230$ unit으로 peak를 나타내었다. pepsin-like enzyme 활성은 산출 후 11일째 처음으로 확인되었고 산출후 66일째 $902{\pm}160$ unit까지 급격히 증가하였다. Lipase 활성은 산출후 2일째 $4.5{\pm}1.4$ unit으로 확인되었고 산출후 47일계에는 $38.3{\pm}0.4$unit로 peak를 나타내었다. Amylase 활성은 산출후 11일째 $0.18{\pm}0.11$ unit으로 처음 확인되었고 산출후 50일째 $23.48{\pm}5.11$ unit까지 급격히 증가하였다. specific activity는 trypsin이 산출후 14일째, pepsin-like enzyme이 61일째 peak를 나타냈다. 볼락의 체중이 현저하게 증가하는 시기에 맞춰서 각 효소와 전활성이 급격히 상승하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이것은 이시기가 위선이 기능적으로 역할을 하는 시기와 일치하므로 단백질 소화능력의 비약적인 증가가 체중 증가에 크게 관여하였음을 나타낸다. 그러므로 본 실험에서 확인 된 체중이 급격히 증가하는 시기는 볼락 양식에 있어서 사료 전환기 즉, 생물사료에서 배합사료로 전환하기에 적당하다고 할 수 있겠다.

Antheraea mylitta Drury is basically a crossbreeding species, as such it seems to be potentially a good material for the exploitation of heterosis. In the present study F1 hybrid of wild ecorace Laria (L) and semi-domestic Daba (D) was raised and evaluated for various quantitative traits and biochemical parameters during larval stage. Improved fecundity ($+18{\pm}1.8%$ and higher egg hatching rate ($+10.96{\pm}1.3%$) was recorded in the F1hybrid ($L{\times}D$). Biochemical parameters studied in the hemolymph, midgut and fatbody of the larva showed significantly higher (P<0.05) total proteins and carbohydrate concentration besides digestive enzyme activity. Correspondingly SDS-PAGE revealed more number of protein bands in the hemolymph sample of F1s, ranging between 29 kDa to 66 kDa compared to parental lines. The present study demonstrates the positive heterosis effect in the F1 hybrid of Laria ${\times}$ Daba. Biochemical analysis indicates that, there is possibilities of exploitation of hybrids with specific parents targeted for desirable commercial traits (silk yield and fecundity). Moreover, most of these biochemical parameters can be used as markers to analyze the genetic improvement in the tasar silkworms.

To investigate whether VacA (vacuolating toxin) produced by Helicobacter pylori Korean stain 99 induces intestinal secretion, purified VacA was added to T84 cell monolayers mounted in Ussing chambers, and electrical parameters were monitored. Mucosal addition of low pH-pretreated VacA increased short circuit current (Isc). The effect was time- and dose-dependent and saturable. The time-to-peak Isc was concentration-dependent. Chloride channel inhibitors, niflumic acid or 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate (NPPB), inhibited VacA-stimulated Isc. Carbachol (CCh)-induced increase of Isc was prolonged by the addition of VacA to the mucosal side only. The effect was unaltered by the addition of niflumic acid. VacA did not show cytopathic effects. These studies indicate that VacA is a nonlethal toxin that acts in a polar manner on T84 monolayers to potentiate $Cl^-$ secretion and the response to CCh secretion without decrease in monolayer resistance. VacA may contribute to diarrhea diseases in human intestinal epithelial cells.
