  • UDP-N-Acetylglucosamine(GlcNAc):$\beta$1,4-D-mannoside$\beta$-l ,4N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-III (GnT-III) and UDP-N-GlcNAc:$\alpha$-6-D-mannosid$\beta$-1,6N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-V(GnT - V) activities were determined in human hepatoma cell lines and metastatic colon cancer cells, and their activities were compared with those of normal liver cells and fetal hepatocytes. GnT-III activities were higher than those of GnT-V in hepatic carcinoma cells. When the two enzyme activities were assayed in highly metastatic colon cancer cells, GnT - V activities were much higher than those of GnT-III. When GlcN, GlcN-biant-PA and UDP-GlcNAc were used as substrates, the enzymes displayed different kinetic properties between hepatic and colon cancer cells, depending on their metastatic potentials. Normal cells of two origins had characteristically very low levels of GnT-III and -V activities, whereas hepatoma and colon cancer cells contained high levels of activities. These data were supported by RT-PCR and Northern blot analyses, showing that the expression of GnT-III and -V mRNAs were increased in proportion to the enzymatic activities. The increased GnT-III, md -V activities were also correlated with increased glycosylation of the cellular glycoproteins in hepatoma and colon cancer cells, as examined by lectin blotting analysis by using wheat germ glutinin (WGA), erythroagglutinating phytohemagglutinin (E-PHA), leukoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin (L-PHA), and concanavalin A (Con A). Treatment with retinoic acid, a differentiation agent, resulted in decreases of both GnT-III and -V activities of HepG2 and HepG3 cells. In colon carcinoma cells, however, treatment with retinoic acid resulted in a reduction of GnT-V activity, but not with GnT-III activity. Although the mechanism underlying the induction of these mzymes is unclear, oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins have been observed of cancer cells.

  • The activity of N-acetylglucosamitnyltransferase(GnT) III and V on a Melanoma B-16 was examined after incubation with interleukin 1 (IL-1). While augumenting cell proliferation, IL-1 resulted in a decrease of GnT-III activity and an increase of GnT-V activities. Consistant with this, Melanoma B-16 cultured with IL-1 showed increased affinlity to Daturam stramonium lectin, which recognizes asialo-tri- and asialeo-tetra-antenery N-linked oligosaccharides. These results indicate that IL-1 modulate glycosyltransferase activity and the oligosaccharide structure of target cells. On the other hand, to investigate whether or not TKM-SG affect GnT-V gene expression in lung metastatic carcinoma, we used RT-PCR methods. TKM-SG treated cell lines showed low levels of secretion of GnT-V mRNA transcription as elucidated by RT-PCR. Thus, with together lower GnT-V activity levels in the medium, TKM-SG was highly effective for lung cancer metastasis treatment and it was concluded that the medicine can be used as a potent anti-lung cancer metastasis medicine.

  • In a previous paper (Kim et al., 1996a), the immediate 5' -flanking region and coding region of the human UDP-N -acetylglucosamine:-D-mannoside-1,4-Nacetylglucosaminyltransferase III (N-acetylglucosaminyitransferase- III; GnT-III) gene was reported, isolated and analyzed. Herein, we report on amplification of a new 5' -noncoding region of the GnT-III mRNA by single-strand ligation to single-stranded cDNA-PCR (5' -RACE PCR) using poly(A)+ RNA isolated from human fetal liver cells. A cDNA clone was obtained with 5' sequences (96 bp) that diverged seven nucleotides upstream from the ATG (+1) start codon. A concensus splice junction sequence, TCTCCCGCAG, was found immediately 5' to the position where the sequences of the cDNA diverged. The result suggested the presence of an intron in the 5' -noncoding region and that the cDNA was an incompletely reversetranscribed cDNA product derived from an mRNA containing a new noncoding exon. When mRNA expression of GnT-III in various human tissues and cancer cell lines was examined, Northern blot analysis indicated high expression levels of GnT-III in human fetal kidney and brain tissues, as well as for a number of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cell lines. Promoter activities of the 5' -flanking regions of exon 1 and the new noncoding region were measured in a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2, by luciferase assays. The 5'-flanking region of exon 1 was the most active, whilst that of exon 2 was inactive.

  • Branched N-glycans are produced by a series of glycosyltransferases including N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases and fucosyltransferases and their corresponding genes. Glycans on specific glycoproteins, which are attached via the action of glycosyltransferases, play key roles in cell adhesion and signaling. Examples of this are adhesion molecules or signaling molecules such as integrin and E-cadherin, as well as membrane receptors such as the EGF and TGF-${\beta}$ receptors. These molecules also play pivotal roles in the underlying mechanism of a variety of disease such as cancer metastasis, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Alterations in the structures of branched N-glycans are also hall marks and are useful for cancer biomarkers and therapeutics against cancer. This mini-review describes some of our recent studies on a functional glycomics approach to the study of branched N-glycans produced by N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases III, IV, V and IX (Vb) (GnT-III, GnT-IV, V and IX (Vb)) and fucosyltransferase 8 (Fut8) and their pathophysiological significance, with emphasis on the importance of a systems glycobiology approach as a future perspective for glycobiology.

  • This study was performed to investigate the effect of peroxisome proliferators activated receptor-${\gamma}$ (PPAR-${\gamma}$) ligand, pioglitazone, on production of regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome in infertile patients with endometriosis. Sixty-four infertile patients with stage III or IV endometriosis undergoing IVF were randomly allocated to the study or the control group. The long protocol of GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) was used for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in all patients. Patients in the study group were treated with pioglitazone at a dose of 15 mg/day orally from the starting day of GnRH-a treatment to the day of hCG injection. Blood samples were drawn for serologic assay of RANTES on the first day of GnRH-a treatment and the day of hCG injection. There were no differences between the study and control groups in patient characteristics. There were also no differences between the two groups in COS duration, and the numbers of retrieved oocytes, fertilized oocytes and embryos transferred. The clinical pregnancy rate per cycle was higher in the study group, but this difference was not statistically significant. However, embryo implantation rate was significantly higher in the study group of 12.5% compared with 8.6% in the control group (P<0.05). The serum RANTES levels after pioglitazone treatment were significantly lower than those before pioglitazone treatmen in the study group (P<0.05). Our data suggest that pioglitazone treatment can suppress RANTES production and improve the embryo implantation rate in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF.

  • 본교실에서 하악지 시상 골절단술을 시행한 하악전돌증 환자 20명(남자 9명, 여자 11명)을 대상으로 술전, 술직후, 장기관찰기간동안의 전산화단층촬영법을 이용한 하악과두의 위치변화와 술전, 술직후, 악간고정제거 24시간후 및 장기관찰기간동안의 측모두부방사선사진에서의 재발과의 상관관계를 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 두부 축방향 전산화단층사진에서의 과두간거리(MM')는 $84.45{\pm}4.01mm$ 였으며, 장축각은 우측 11.89%5.1 $9^{\circ}$좌측 $11.65{\pm}2.09^{\circ}$로 좌우 비슷하였으며, 기준선(AA')에서 과두의 외측점은 12mm, 내측점은 7mm 정도 전방에 위치하였다. 관상면 전산화단층사진에서의 과두간 거리(mm')는 $84.43{\pm}3.96mm$ 였으며, 사축각은 우측 $78.12{\pm}3.43^{\circ}$ 좌측 $78.09{\pm}6.12^{\circ}$로 좌우 비슷하였다 . 2. 술전후 과두위치 변화(T2C-T1C)는 통계적인 유의성은 없었으나(p>0.05), 다소 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 장기관찰에 따른 회귀성향(TLC-T2C)에서는 LMD, LLD(p<0.05), RLD, RMD(p<0.01), mm'(P<0.001)는 모두 감소하였다. 3. 측면두부방사선사진상에서 술직후와 악간고정제거 24시간후(T3-T2)에서 하악의 초기재발은 통계적인 의의가 없었으며(p>0.05) 하악전치의 경우만 평균 0.33mm 전방이동하였다(p<0.05). NN'L1, NN'Pog, NN'Gn, NN'Me, over-jet에서 통계적인 유의성이 있었으며(p<0.05), NN'Ll 1.2%, NN'B 5.0%, NN'Pog 2.0%, NN'Gn 9.1%, NN'Me 10.3%의 총재발량을 보였다. 4. 하악골의 술전, 술후 변화량(T2-T1)이 총재발량에 미치는 영향에 대한 회귀분석에서 후퇴량이 많을수록 하악골의 총재발량이 많은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 5. 하악골 변화량(T2-T1)과 하악과두 변화량(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C), 하악과두 변화량(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C)과 총재발량(TL-T2), 술전 하악과두 형태(T1C)와 하악과두 변화량(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C), 그리고 술전 하악골 외형(T1)과 하악과두 변화량(T2C-T1C, TLC-T2C)에 대하여 단순 및 복잡회귀분석에서 통계적인 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 6. 술전 하악과두 형태(T1C)가 총재발량(TL-T2)에 미치는 영향에 대한 복잡회귀분석결과 우측과두에서는 과두간 거리가 멀고 장축각이 적고 사축각이 클수록 하악골의 수평적인 재발(NN'Ll, NN'8, NN'Pog, NN'Gn, NN'Me)이 많은 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 좌측과두에서는 NN'Ll, NN'Me에서 같은 결과를 보였다. 7, 술전 하악과두 형태(T1C)가 술전 하악골외형(T1)에 미치는 영향에 대한 복잡회귀분석결과 우측과두에서는 과두간 거리가 멀고 장축각이 적고 사축각이 클수록 하악골의 수직고경이 큰 것으로 나타났고(p<0.05), 좌측과두에서는 과두간 거리가 멀고 장축각이 적고 사축각이 클수록 수직고경이 크며, 전돌된 양상으로 나타났다(p<0.05) . 8. 술전 하악골 외형(T1)이 총 재발량(TL-T2)에 미치는 영향에 대하여 단순회귀분석을 시행한 결과 NN'L1, NN'B, NN'Gn, NN'Me, over-jet 둥의 계측점에서 하악골이 전돌된 양상을 보일수록 NN'B에서의 총재발량은 많은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 또 수평피개량(over-jet)이 클수록 NN'B, NN'Pog, NN'Gn, NN'Me에서의 총재발량이 많은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 따라서 과두보존술을 이용하여 과두를 안정화시키고 난후 악골 형태를 재구성하였을 때 이로 인하여 생기는 하악과두 이동은 미미하여 술후 재발에 크게 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니라고 사료된다.

  • 본 연구는 상악전방견인장치 또는 이모장치 치료 후 고정식 교정장치로 치료 받은 III급 부정교합 환자의 치료효과에 대한 종단적 비교를 위해 시행되었다. 상악전방견인 치료 또는 이모장치 치료 전의 골격 및 치아 유형이 유사하며 고정식 교정치료 후 좋은 유지결과(I급 구치/견치 관계 및 양의 수직/수평피개)를 보이는 21명의 환자(1군, 상악전방견인장치, 11명; 2군, 이모장치, 10명)를 대상으로 하였다. 상악전방견인 치료 또는 이모장치 치료 전(T0)과 후(T1), 고정식 교정치료 후 유지기간(T2)에 측모두부방사선사진을 촬영하여 골격 및 치아에 대한 계측치를 이용하였다. 통계적 분석을 위해 비모수 검정법(Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test)을 이용하였다. 악정형 치료 시기(T0-T1)에, 1군에서는 상악골의 전방 이동 (point A, p < 0.05), 상악 전치의 순측경사 (p < 0.01) 및 수평피개의 증가 (p < 0.01)가 보였다. 하악골은 1군과 2군 모두에서 후방 위치를 보였다 (SNB, Pog-N perp, ANB, p < 0.01). 1군에서는 수직고경의 증가 (SN-GoGn, ANS-Me/N-Me, Bjork sum, p < 0.01)가 나타난 반면에, 2군에서는 articular angle의 증가 (p < 0.05)와 gonial angle의 감소 (p < 0.01)가 보였다. 고정식 교정치료 및 유지기간(T1-T2)에, 1군과 2군 모두는 상악골의 전방성장 (point A, p < 0.05)을 보였다. 한편 1군은 하악골의 전방성장 (Pog-N perp, p < 0.01) 및 반시계방향 회전 (SN- GoGn, Bjork sum, p < 0.05)과 하악 전치의 순측경사 (IMPA, p < 0.05)를 나타냈으며, 2군은 ANS-Me/N-Me의 증가 (p < 0.01)와 수직피개의 감소 (p < 0.05)를 보였다. 비록 상악전방견인 치료와 이모장치 치료의 골격 및 치성적 효과가 서로 차이가 있을지라도, 이 두 치료법으로 인한 결과가 장기간 안정적으로 유지되기 위해서 하악골의 회전 및 성장에 맞추어 상악골의 지속적인 전방성장이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

  • This research deals with the study of the Thomson heating effect in magneto-thermoelastic homogeneous isotropic rotating medium, influenced by linearly distributed load and as a result of modified couple stress theory. The charge density is taken as a function of the time of the induced electric current. The heat conduction equation with energy dissipation and with hyperbolic two-temperature (H2T) is used to formulate the model of the problem. Laplace and Fourier transforms are used to solve this mathematical model. Various components of displacement, temperature change, and axial stress as well as couple stress are obtained from the transformed domain. To get the solution in physical domain, numerical inversion techniques have been employed. The Thomson effect with GN (Green-Nagdhi) -III theory and Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST) is shown graphically on the physical quantities.

  • 본 연구는 성장기의 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자에서 face mask를 이용하여 상악골을 전방 견인하였을 때, 골격 및 치아관계와 연조직 측모의 변화를 관찰하고 face mask사용전후의 경조직과 연조직 변화의 유의성을 검정하여 상악골 열성장을 보이는 골격성 III급 부정교합 환자의 진단과 치료계획 수립에 도움을 주고자 하였다. 서울대학교병원 치과진료부 교정과에 내원하여 상악골 열성장에 의한 골격성 III급 부정교합으로 진단받고 face mask를 사용하여 양호한 치료결과를 보인 환자 15명을 대상으로 face mask사용전후 두부 방사선 계측사진을 촬영하고 face mask 사용전 계측치와 face mask사용후의 계측치를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. SNA와 상악골의 실제 길이인 Co-A가 통계적으로 유의한 수준으로 증가하여(p<0.001), 상악골은 face mask에 의한 치료후 상당량 전방위치 되었다. 이는 face mask의 orthopedic effect에 의한 것이다. 2. 상, 하악골의 실제길이를 나타내는 Co-A, Co-Gn이 face mask 사용후 모두 유의성있게 증가하였다(p<0.01). 3. 하악골의 위치는 상당량 후하방 회전되었다. FMA(p<0.001), SN-GoGn(p<0.01), Y-axis(p<0.01) 등이 face mask 사용후 유의성있는 증가를 보였다. 4. 상악전치, 하악전치의 face mask사용후 치축의 경사도는 유의성있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 5. 연조직에 대한 변화에서 상순의 위치가 전방으로 변화하여 정상적인 측모의 평균치에 가깝게 변한 것이 인정되었다(p<0.01).
