Direct injection of a fibrinolytic agent to the intra-arterial thrombosis may increase the effectiveness of thrombolysis by enhancing the permeation of thrombolytic agents into the blood clot. Permeation of fibrinolytic agents into a clot is influenced by the surface pressure, which is determined by the injection velocity of fibrinolytic agents. Computational fluid dynamic methods were used in order to predict clot lysis for different jet velocities and nozzle arrangements. Firstly, thrombolysis of a clot was mathematically modeled based on the pressure and lysis front velocity relationship. Direct injection of a thrombolytic agent increased the speed of thrombolysis significantly and the effectiveness was increased as the ejecting velocity increased. The nine nozzles model showed about 20% increase of the lysed volume, and the one and seventeen nozzles models did not show significant differences. Secondly, thrombolysis was modeled based on the enzyme transport and the fluid flow equations, and quasi steady numerical analysis was performed. Clot lysis efficiency was also increased as injection velocity increased.

The mycelium of 3 edible mushrooms, Shizophyllum commune, pleurotus ostreatus, Tricholoma sp. was cultured in a liquid for the production of a fibrinolytic enzyme. Among them, Shizophyllum commune produced highest amount of the enzyme. The intramycelial production of the fibrinolytic enzyme by the culture of the Shizophyllum commune mycelium was approximately 6-fold higher than the extramycelial production. The carbon and nitrogen sources for the production of the enzyme were 1.5% corn steep liguor and 1.0% soytone, respectively, and optimal culture temperature and initial pH were $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 6, respectively.

콩을 소재로한 전통 발효식품으로부터 혈전용해능이 뛰어난 균주를 분리하였으며, B. subtilis로 동정되었다. 따라서 이를 B. subtilis IDCC 9204(특허균주기탁: KCTC-11471 BP), 그 혈전용해 효소는 NK-IL9204로 명명하였다. B. subtilis IDCC 9204가 생산하는 고역가의 NK-IL9204를 단백질 분석법에 기초하여 분석한 결과, 분자량은 27.7 kDa의 homogenous enzyme으로 확인되었다. 또한 기존에 알려진 일본의 발효식품인 낫도 유래의 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase 와의 sequence 분석을 진행한 결과, 99.5% homology가 일치하는 serine protease계열의 nattokinase로 확인되었다. 그러나 NK-IL9204는 물리 화학적인 조건에서 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase와 다소 차이를 나타내었으며 본 실험에서는 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase보다 상대적으로 높은 열 안정성과 pH 안정성을 나타내었다. In vitro 실험에서 NK-IL9204는 최적 반응온도 $40^{\circ}C$, 열 안정성은 $90^{\circ}C$까지 효소활성을 유지하였으며, 최적 반응 pH는 pH 8로 알칼리-혈전용해효소의 특성을 나타내었으며, 약산성에서 강알칼리 영역까지 넓은 pH 구간 안정성을 갖는 것이 특징이다. NKIL9204의 in vivo에서의 효능과 생체 내 안정성을 동물실험을 통해 확인한 결과, 생체 내에서도 혈전용해효소의 활성이 소실되지 않고 유지되며, 혈전분해와 관련된 생체 내 인자들을 활성화시키는 역할을 하는 특징을 갖는다. NK-IL9204는 30,000 FU/g 이상의 고역가를 달성하여 산업적 측면에서 생산성도 확보함으로써 수입의존적 원료를 국산화할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

혈전(fibrin clot)은 심혈관계 질환을 일으키는 주요 인자로서 전신의 미세동맥이나 모세혈관 내에서 형성되어 주의 조직이나 장기에 혈류의 공급방해가 생겨 허혈, 경색, 나아가 괴사까지도 발생시킨다. 혈전이 원인이 되어 발생한 심혈관계 질환을 예방 혹은 치료할 목적으로 기존으로 사용되고 있는 항혈전제(antithrombolytic drug)나 혈전용해제(thrombolytic drug)의 개발을 위해 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 치료목적으로 사용할 혈전용해제를 분리하고자 Protaetia brevitarsis의 maggot로부터 ammonium sulfate 분획과 desalting column을 이용하여 fibrinolytic protease를 분리하고 생화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 활성의 최적 pH는 9.0였고 최적온도는 $50^{\circ}C$였다. pH 7.0-9.0 사이와 온도 $60^{\circ}C$이하에서는 비교적 활성이 안정성을 나타냈다. 효소활성이 phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride에 의해 강하게 저해되고 있는 것으로 보아 serine protease로 추정되며 금속이온에 의한 영향을 조사해 본 결과 $Ca^{2+}$과 $Zn^{2+}$에 의해서는 저해되지만 $Mg^{2+}$와 $Fe^{2+}$에 의해서는 저해를 받지 않았다.

The mucilage production and tyrosine content in soy milk cake (SMC) fermented by Bacillus firmus NA-1, Bacillus subtilis GT-D, and B. subtilis KU-A was improved by fortification with 10% defatted soybean flour. The fibrinolytic activity and consistency of the SMC were drastically increased by solid-state fermentation for 1 day. However, the consistency of the fermented SMC gradually decreased during fermentation for 3 days. Furthermore, the tyrosine content of the freeze-dried powder of SMC fermented by three Bacillus sp. was 9 times higher than that of unfermented SMC. The soybean proteins, including the 7S and 11S subunits, were partially digested during alkaline fermentation, producing lower molecular-weight peptides. The fibrinolytic enzyme produced in SMC fermented by B. firmus NA-l and B. subtilis KU-A exhibited higher thermal stability than that of B. subtilis GT-D fermentation. The powder obtained from B. subtilis GT-D fermentation had an ${\alpha}$-amylase activity and lower consistency compared to those of B. firmus NA-1 and B. subtilis KU-A. In addition, this powder contained 6.3% moisture content, 27% crude protein content and 9 units of fibrinolytic activity and proteolytic activity.

Subtilisin QK, which is newly identified as a fibrinolytic enzyme from Bacillus subtilis QK02, has the ability of preventing nitrotyrosine formation in bovine serum albumin induced by nitrite, hydrogen peroxide and hemoglobin in vitro verified by ELISA, Western-blot and spectrophotometer assay. Subtilisin QK also attenuates the fluorescence emission spectra of bovine serum albumin in the course of oxidation caused by nitrite, hydrogen peroxide and hemoglobin. Furthermore, subtilisin QK could suppress the transformation of oxy-hemoglobin to met-hemoglobin caused by sodium nitrite, but not the heat-treated subtilisn QK. Compared with some other fibrinolytic enzymes and inactivated subtilisin QK treated by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, the ability of inhibiting met-hemoglobin formation of subtilisin QK reveals that the anti-oxidative ability of subtilisin QK is not concerned with its fibrinolytic function. Additionally, nitrotyrosine formation in proteins from brain, heart, liver, kidney, and muscle of mice that is intramuscular injected the mixture of nitrite, hydrogen peroxide and hemoglobin is attenuated by subtilisin QK. Subtilisin QK can also protect Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (ECV-304) from the damage caused by nitrite and hydrogen peroxide.

The aprE2 gene from Bacillus subtilis CH3-5 was expressed in Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 10716 using a Bacillus-Escherichai coli shuttle vector, pHY300PLK. The fibrinolytic activity of transformant (TF) increased significantly compared to B. licheniformis 10716 control cell. During the 100 hr incubation in Luria-Bertaini broth at $37^{\circ}C$, fibrinolytic activity of B. licheniformis TF increased rapidly at the late growth stage, after 52 hr of incubation, which was confirmed by zymography using a fibrin gel. pHY3-5 was stably maintained in B. licheniformis without tetracycline (Tc) in the media, 60.9% of cells still maintained pHY3-5 after 100 hr of cultivation.

Nine bacilli with fibrinolytic activities were isolated from doenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soy food. Among them, RSB34 showed the strongest activity and was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by 16S rRNA and recA gene sequencing. During growth on LB up to 96 h, RSB34 showed the highest fibrinolytic activity ($83.23mU/{\mu}l$) at 48 h. Three bands of 23, 27, and 42 kDa in size were observed when the culture supernatant was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and 27 and 42 kDa bands by fibrin zymography. The gene encoding the 27 kDa fibrinolytic enzyme AprE34 was cloned by PCR. BLAST analyses confirmed that the gene was a homolog to genes encoding AprE-type proteases. aprE34 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) using pET26b(+). Recombinant AprE34 was purified and examined for its properties. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of recombinant AprE34 were $0.131{\pm}0.026mM$ and $16.551{\pm}0.316{\mu}M/l/min$, respectively, when measured using an artificial substrate, N-succinyl-ala-ala-pro-phe-p-nitroanilide. aprE34 was overexpressed in B. subtilis WB600 using pHY300PLK. B. subtilis transformants harboring pHYRSB34 (pHY300PLK with aprE34) showed higher fibrinolytic activity than B. amyloliquefaciens RSB34.
