본 연구는 강원도 고랭지 배추경작지에서 채집한 chlorpyrifos 포장저항성 계통의 배추좀나방에서 추출한 무독화 효소 esterases와 glutathione-S-tranferase(GST)의 활성과 단백질의 sequestration 비율 및 acetylcholinesterase(AChE) insensitivity를 측정하여 저항성 발달기작을 구명하고자 수행되었다. Esterases의 경우 저항성과 감수성 배추좀나방간의 활성 차이는 없었으나, 전기영동상에서는 특정 isozyme의 차이가 확인되었으며, GST 활성은 포장저항성 계통이 감수성 계통보다 약 1.5배 높았다. 두 계통 간 단백질의 sequestration 차이는 없었으며, chlorpyrifos에 대한 AChE의 sensitivity는 포장저항성 계통의 AChE가 감수성계통보다 약 460배 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 실내에서 저항성을 유도하여 파악한 배추좀나방의 저항성 특성결과와 동일한 것으로 강원도 고랭지 chlorpyrifos 포장저항성 배추좀나방의 저항성 발달은 AChE의 insensitivity가 주요 요인이며, 부가적으로 GST의 활성 변화도 작용하는 것으로 판단되었다.

Background: A large number of studies have been published to investigate the association between the null genotype of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) with gastric cancer. However, the results were inconsistent and conflicting. The aim of this study was to estimate the relationship between this polymorphism in the GSTT1 gene and gastric cancer risk in Asian populations by meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Chinese Biomedical database (CBM), Weipu database, Wanfang database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure database (CNKI). Statistical analysis was conducted by using Review Manager 5.3. Results: Thirty-nine studies with a total of 7,737 gastric cancer cases and 10,823 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The meta-analysis of total studies showed that the null genotype in GSTT1 was associated with increased risk of gastric cancer in Asians (OR=1.19, 95% CI=1.08-1.31, p=0.0002). Subgroup analysis showed a significant relationship between GSTT1 null genotype and gastric cancer in East-Asians, as well as in subgroup analysis of hospital-based design. On subgroup analysis by smoking status, alcohol status, Helicobacter pylori infection status, and histology type, no significant association of this polymorphism with susceptibility to gastric cancer was found. Conclusions: In conclusion, the results showed that the null genotype of GSTT1 is significantly associated with an increased risk in gastric cancer in Asian populations.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of arsenic ($As^{III}$) on lipid peroxidation, glutathione content and antioxidant enzymes in growing pigs. Ninety-six Duroc-Landrace-Yorkshire crossbred growing pigs (48 barrows and 48 gilts, respectively) were randomly assigned to four groups and each group was randomly assigned to three pens (four barrows and four gilts). The four groups received the same corn-soybean basal diet which was supplemented with 0, 10, 20, 30 mg/kg As respectively. Arsenic was added to the diet in the form of $As_2O_3$. The experiment lasted for seventy-eight days after a seven-day adaptation period. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, glutathione (GSH) contents and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities were analyzed in serum, livers and kidneys of pigs. The results showed that pigs treated with 30 mg As/kg diet had a decreased average daily gain (ADG) (p<0.05) and an increased feed/gain ratio (F/G) (p<0.05) compared to the controls. The levels of MDA significantly increased (p<0.05), and the contents of GSH and the activities of SOD, CAT, GPx, GR and GST significantly decreased (p<0.05) in the pigs fed 30 mg As/kg diet. The results indicated that the mechanism of arsenic-induced oxidative stress in growing pigs involved lipid peroxidation, depletion of glutathione and decreased activities of some enzymes, such as SOD, CAT, GPx, GR and GST, which are associated with free radical metabolism.

항균 펩타이드(Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs)는 그람 양성, 그람 음성 세균과 진균병원체에 대항하는 생명체에서 중요한 역할을 하는 물질이다. 인간의 Cathelicidin 항균 펩타이드는 임상학적으로 사용할 수 있는 여러 가지의 생물학적 활성을 가진다. 항균 펩타이드의 생산 비용은 재조합 방법으로 낮출 수가 있다. 대장균은 저렴하며 손쉬운 조작이 가능하기 때문에 다른 재조합 단백질처럼 항균 펩타이드의 발현에 훌륭한 숙주가 될 수 있다. 그러나 대장균에서의 항균 펩타이드의 과발현은 항균 펩타이드가 과발현 되었을 때 대장균에 독성을 보일 수 있으므로 어려움이 보고가 되어있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 항균 펩타이드를 Glutathione S-transferase(GST) 결합 단백질에 융합하여 항균펩타이드의 독성을 감소시키도록 설계하여 발현을 시도하였다. 이 때 발현한 항균 펩티드는 LL37과, gaegurin4과 LL37의 잡종 펩타이드 GGN4-LL37(GL32로 명명)를 GST에 융합되도록 벡터를 구축하고 설계하여 대장균에서 GST 융합단백질로 발현시켰다. 융합 단백질은 친화력 컬럼을 사용하여 분리하고 GST를 절단하여 항균펩타이드 만을 분리하였고 분리한 펩타이드는 웨스턴 블롯팅으로 확인하였고 그람 양성, 그람 음성 세균에 대하여 항균 활성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

이스라엘 잉어에 있어서 carbamate계 살충제 carbofuran의 독성에 미치는 phenobarbital sodium(PB) 또는 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC)의 영향과 작용기작을 효소적 측면에서 구명할 목적으로 carbofuran과 PB나 3-MC를 이스라엘 잉어에 각 조합으로 처리하여 독성경감 효과를 조사하였고, 공시한 농약과 PB나 MC가 acetylcholinesterase(AChE), glutathione S-transferase(GST), UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(UDPGT) 및 cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase(monooxygenase)의 효소활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 carbofuran과 PB나 3-MC를 각각 조합으로 처리한 후 경시적으로 이스라엘 잉어의 각 효소들의 상대활성도를 조사하였다. PB와 3-MC만 투여한 실험군에서 이스라엘 잉어의 생존수는 무처리군과 동일하였고 살충제만 처리한 실험군의 이스라엘 잉어 생존수는 처리농도가 증가하면서 감소되었으나, PB나 3-MC와 살충제를 조합처리한 실험군에서는 살충제만 처리한 실힘군에 비하여 매우 높은 생존율을 나타낸 것으로 보아 해독효과가 인정 되었다. 효소활성(in vivo)은 AChE의 경우 carbofuran 0.95 ppm만을 처리한 실험군에서는 24시간내내 각 조사시기마다 무처리군에 비해 40% 이상의 활성저해를 보였으나 carbofuran과 PB 및 3-MC를 조합처리한 실험군에서는 효소활성이 초기에 감소하다가 서서히 증가하여 24시간후에는 무처리군과 비슷한 수준을 나타냈고, GST의 경우 carbofuran만을 처리한 실험군에서는 초기에 약 20% 이상의 활성저해를 보였으나 carbofuran과 PB나 3-MC를 조합처리한 실험군에서는 약제처리 1시간 후 부터 무처리군에 비해 효소활성이 20% 이상 증가하였다. UDPGT와 monooxygenase의 효소활성은 carbofuran과 PB나 3-MC를 조합처리한 실험에서 처리 $6{\sim}12$시간 후에는 carbofuran 처리군에 비해 효소활성이 $4{\sim}8$배 이상 급격히 높아졌다. 이상의 결과에서 PB 및 3-MC처리가 이들 효소의 활성을 유도함으로써 carbofuran의 독성으로 부터 이스라엘 잉어를 보호 하는데 관여한 것으로 보인다.

McW의 간 해독효과를 조사하였다. 실험군은 총 4개군 즉, 증류수급여군으로 대조군(DC)과 증류수를 3주간 섭취케 한 후 희생직전에 BB를 처리한 군(DB), McW 급여군으로는 McW 대조군(MC)과 McW를 3주간 섭취케 한 후 희생직전에 BB를 처리한 군(MB)의 4개 군으로 구분하였다. DC군과 MC군의 혈청 ALT 및 AST 활성은 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 MB군에서는 DB군에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다. 간 AH 활성은 모든 실험군에서 유의한 변동이 없었으나 GST 활성은 MC군이 DC군에 비하여, MB군이 DB군에 비하여 각각 높았다. 간 조직의 LPO 함량은 DC 및 MC군이 유사하였으며, DB 및 MB군 모두 DC군보다 유의하게 증가하였으나 그 증가율은 MB군이 DB군에 비하여 낮았다. McW의 전자공여능은 DW에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. 이상의 결과 McW는 간 해독효소의 일종인 GST의 활성을 증가시킴과 동시에 McW의 지속적인 섭취에 의한 항산화 작용에 의해 해독작용을 나타내는 것으로 생각되나 추후 계속적인 연구검토가 행해져야할 것이다.

Objective: Epidemiology studies have reported conflicting results between glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 (GSTM1), glutathione S-transferase theta-1 (GSTT1) and glutathione S-transferase pi-1 (GSTP1) and ovarian cancer (OC) susceptibility. In this study, an updated meta-analysis was applied to determine whether the deletion of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 has an influence on OC susceptibility. Methods: A published literature search was performed through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Science Citation Index Expanded database for articles published in English. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated using random or fixed effects models. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed using the Cochrane Q test and $I^2$ statistics. Sub-group analysis was conducted to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis was employed to evaluate the respective influence of each study on the overall estimate. Results: In total, 10 published studies were included in the final analysis. The combined analysis revealed that there was no significant association between GSTM1 null genotype and OC risk (OR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.91-1.12). Additionally, there was no significant association between GSTT1 genetic polymorphisms and OC risk (OR=0.98, 95% CI: 0.85-1.13). Similalry, no significant associations were found concerning the GSTP1 rs1695 locus and OC risk. Meanwhile, subgroup analysis did not show a significant increase in eligible studies with low heterogeneity. However, sensitivity analysis, publication bias and cumulative analysis demonstrated the reliability and stability of the current meta-analysis. Conclusions: These findings suggest that GSTs genetic polymorphisms may not contribute to OC susceptibility. Large epidemiological studies with the combination of GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms and more specific histological subtypes of OC are needed to prove our findings.

Backgrounds : Glutathione-s-transferase (GST) is a kind of phase II metabolism enzyme and plays an important role in the detoxification of various toxic chemicals. It was reported that the genetic polymorphism of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes may be responsible for asthma development and susceptibility to allergy. Traditional oriental medicine uses a unique diagnostic technique. differentiation-syndrome. to analyze signs and symptoms of patients synthetically. Through differentiation-syndrome. asthma patients can be divided into two groups: the deficiency syndrome group (DSG) and the excess syndrome group (ESG). Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible association of GST gene polymorphism with clinical phenotype by differentiation-syndrome of bronchial asthma patients. Materials and Methods : One hundred and ten participants were evaluated by pulmonary function test. Patients with 53 DSG and 31 ESG by differentiation-syndrome were assessed for genetic analysis. GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletion polymorphism was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results : GSTM1 gene deletion was detected in 43.4% of individuals in the DSG and in 38.71 % in the ESG. The distribution of GSTM1 polymorphism between DSG and ESG was not significantly different [$x^2$=0.1767, p=0.6742; OR(95% CI)=1.2139(0.4915-2.9979)]. The proportion of GSTT1 null genotypes was 41.51% in the DGS and 45.16% in the ESG. The distribution of GSTT1 polymorphism between DSG and ESG was also not significantly different [$x^2$=0.1065, p=0.7442; OR(95% CI)=0.8618(0.3525-2.1065)]. In the combined analysis of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes, the frequency of both null type of GSTM1/GSTT1 genes was not significantly different from both positive type of GSTM1/GSTT1 genes[$x^2$=0.0768, p=0.7817; OR(95% CI)=1.2000(0.3303-4.3602)] Conclusions : These results indicate that polymorphism of the GST gene might not be associated with the symptomatic classification of DSG and ESG by differentiation-syndrome in Korean asthmatics.

The present study investigates the possible regulatory role of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) in antioxidant defense and methylglyoxal (MG) detoxification systems of wheat seedlings exposed to salt stress (150 and 300 mM NaCl, 4 days). Seedlings were pre-treated for 24 h with 1 mM sodium nitroprusside, a NO donor, and then subjected to salt stress. The ascorbate (AsA) content decreased significantly with increased salt stress. The amount of reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and the GSH/GSSG ratio increased with an increase in the level of salt stress. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity increased significantly with severe salt stress (300 mM). The ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities did not show significant changes in response to salt stress. The glutathione reductase (GR), glyoxalase I (Gly I), and glyoxalase II (Gly II) activities decreased upon the imposition of salt stress, especially at 300 mM NaCl, with a concomitant increase in the $H_2O_2$ and lipid peroxidation levels. Exogenous NO pretreatment of the seedlings had little influence on the nonenzymatic and enzymatic components compared to the seedlings of the untreated control. Further investigation revealed that NO pre-treatment had a synergistic effect; that is, the pre-treatment increased the AsA and GSH content and the GSH/GSSG ratio, as well as the activities of MDHAR, DHAR, GR, GST, GPX, Gly I, and Gly II in most of the seedlings subjected to salt stress. These results suggest that the exogenous application of NO rendered the plants more tolerant to salinity-induced oxidative damage by enhancing their antioxidant defense and MG detoxification systems.
