The objective of this study was to identify EXE (1 hr a day at 21 m/min for 5 day/wk, at 0 % grade for 6 wk) on myocardium glucose metabolic phenotypic proteins (AMPK-PGC-1${\alpha}$-GLUT-4) and HSP-60 protein expression after ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) in STZ-induced rats. EXE was performed using STZ-induced diabetic rats on a rodent treadmill (28 m/min, 1 hr/day, 5 day/wk for 6 wk). The results of this study suggest that i) serum insulin level was not changed among groups (p>l0.05). ii) the LVDP level increased significantly in the STZ-EXE-IRI group compared to the STZ-IRI group at 60 min (p<0.01), 70 min (p<0.05) and 80 min (p<0.05) after reperfusion, respectively, and iii) AMPK phosphorylation (p<0.01), PGC-1${\alpha}$ protein (p<0.001), GLUT-4 protein (p<0.001) and HSP-60 protein expressions (p<0.05) increased significantly in the STZ-EXE-IRI group compared to the STZ-IRI group. In conclusion, the findings of the present study reveal that EXE may provide therapeutic value to insulin dependent diabetic patients with peripheral insulin resistance and myocardium injury by improving glucose metabolic proteins (AMPK-PGC-1${\alpha}$-GLUT-4) and heat shock protein-60 (HSP-60), along with increasing LVDP levels and decreasing glucose levels. Therefore, EXE protects the STZ-induced diabetic myocardium injury against ischemia/ reperfusion injury.

Objective : We investigated the expression of hippocampal heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) infarction volume after different durations of experimental ischemic stroke in mice. Methods : Focal cerebral ischemia was induced in mice by occluding the middle cerebral artery with the modified intraluminal filament technique. Twenty-four hours after ischemia induction, both hippocampi were extracted for HSP-70 protein analyses. Slices from each hemisphere were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (2%), and infarction volumes were calculated. HSP-70 levels were evaluated using western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). HSP-70 subtype (hsp70.1, hspa1a, hspa1b) mRNA levels in the hippocampus were measured using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results : Cerebral infarctions were found ipsilateral to the occlusion in 10 mice exposed to transient ischemia (5 each in the 30-min and 60-min occlusion groups), whereas no focal infarctions were noted in any of the sham mice. The average infarct volumes of the 2 ischemic groups were $22.28{\pm}7.31mm^3$ [30-min group${\times}$standard deviation (SD)] and $38.06{\pm}9.53mm^3$ (60-min group${\times}$SD). Western blot analyses and ELISA showed that HSP-70 in hippocampal tissues increased in the infarction groups than in the sham group. However, differences in HSP-70 levels between the 2 infarction groups were statistically insignificant. Moreover, RT-PCR results demonstrated no relationship between the mRNA expression of HSP-70 subtypes and occlusion time or infarction volume. Conclusion : Our results indicated no significant difference in HSP-70 expression between the 30- and 60-min occlusion groups despite the statistical difference in infarction volumes. Furthermore, HSP-70 subtype mRNA expression was independent of both occlusion duration and cerebral infarction volume.

Ci-ELISA를 이용하여 여러 가지 물리적 처리(초고압, 가압가열, 초음파 및 microwave 처리)에 의한 새우 allergen 및 allergenicity의 변화를 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 초고압 처리에 의해 새우의 allergenicity는 압력이 400 MPa까지 증가함에 따라 새우 allergen과 mAb, 환자혈청과의 결합력이 감소하였으며, 특히 400 MPa로 압력 처리했을 때 mAb와 새우 allergen과의 결합력이 50% 이하로 감소하였다. 새우 allergy의 allergenicity 변화를 알아보기 위해 5, 10, 30, 60분간 초음파 처리한 결과는 5, 10, 30분간 초음파 처리 시 처리시간이 길어짐에 따라 새우 allergen과 mAb와의 결합력이 감소하였으며 특히 60분간 처리한 경우에 있어서는 결합력이 60% 이하로 감소하였다. 가압 가열 처리$(121^{\circ}C,\;1.4\;kg/cm^2)$와 microwave 처리(2,450 MHz)에 의한 새우 allergy의 allgergenicity 변화를 살펴본 결과 처리시간이 증가하여도 새우 allergen과 mAb와의 결합력이 크게 감소하지 않았다. 즉 20분간 microwave 처리 시 85% 이상의 높은 결합력을 보였으며 60분간 가압 가열처리에 의해서는 70% 이상의 결합력을 보였다.

벼의 엽록체 small HSP의 고온 스트레스 하에서의 기능을 밝히기 위하여 Oshsp21 cDNA를 pET 발현 vector에 도입하였다. 형질전환된 대장균 배양액에 IPTG를 첨가하여 단백질 발현을 유도시킨 다음 고온 stress 하에서의 생존율을 대조구와 비교하였다. 그 결과 대조균주의 경우 $50^{\circ}C$에서의 생존율이 크게 감소하였으나 Oshsp21이 발현된 대장균의 경우 70% 이상의 생존율을 나타내었다. 또한 대장균 단백질을 $55^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 열처리한 후, 대장균 단백질을 가용성과 비가용성 단백질로 분획한 다음, 각각의 비율을 조사한 결과, 대조균주의 경우 총 단백질의 약 60%가 비가용성 단백질로 변성되었으나, Oshsp21을 발현시킨 대장균의 경우 총 단백질의 약 35%만이 비가용성 단백질로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 벼의 엽록체 small HSP는 세포내에서 분자 chaperone으로 기능하여 고온내성을 부여할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether two different exercises, acute exhaustive exercise and long-term endurance exercise training could affect to the expression of Mn-SOD, HSP70, and PPAR-γ protein in myocardium. The Wistar-Kyoto rats(n=24, 4 weeks) were used and randomly divided into 3 groups; endurance exercise training group (EET, n=8), acute exhaustive exercise group (AEE, n=8) or control group (CON, n=8). EET performed treadmill exercise for 12 weeks (5 days/week, 30~60 min/day). AEE exercised treadmill running (speed increased gradually to 14-26 m/min, 60 min ±10min) until exhausted when EET finished the program. Then, all the rats were sacrificed 48 hours rest at least after the last session of their own exercise program. Hearts were isolated and then the expression of Mn-SOD, HSP70, and PPAR-γ were analyzed by western blotting. One-way repeated ANOVA was used and p value under 0.05 was considered as statistical significance. The results were followed as; the expression of Mn-SOD of AEE was decreased compared with CON. However, the expression of Mn-SOD of EET was increased compared with CON. There was significant difference between AEE and EET in the expression of Mn-SOD. The expressions of HSP70 and PPAR-γ in the both AEE and EET were significantly increased compared with CON. In conclusion, acute exhaustive exercise might induce oxidative stress wheres endurance exercise training could ameliorate the oxidative conditions by increase of Mn-SOD, HSP70, and PPAR-γ. Therefore, we suggested that endurance exercise training could enhance the complementary antioxidant system and improve to prevent apoptosis. Further, a long-term moderat aerobic exercise program might play a important role in mitochondrial biogenesis in the heart.

Taking advantage of the heat inducible HSP82 gene in yeast, chromatin structure after transcription cessation was investigated. Alteration of chromating conformation within the HSP82 gene transcription unit into an active state has been shown to correlate with its transcriptional induction. It was thus of interest to examine whether the active chromatin state within the HSP82 mRNA analysis, the gene ceased its transcription within a few hours of cultivation at a normal condition after heat induction. In this condition, an active chromatin conformation in the HSP82 gene body was changed into an inactie state which was revealed by DNase I resistance and by typical nucleosomal cutting periodicity in the corresponding chromatin. These results thus ruled out the possibility of a long-term maintenance of the DNase I sensitive chromatin after transcription cessation. DNA replication may be a critical event for the chromatin reprogramming.

Hsp31 protein is one of the members of DJ-1 superfamily proteins and has a dimeric structure of which molecular weight (MW) is 62 kDa. The mutation of DJ-1 is closely related to early onset of Parkinson's disease. Hsp31 displays $Zn^{+2}$-binding activity and was first reported to be a holding chaperone in E. coli. Its additional glyoxalase III active has recently been characterized. Moreover, an incubation at $60^{\circ}C$ induces Hsp31 protein to form a high MW oligomer (HMW) in vitro, which accomplishes an elevated holding chaperone activity. The NMR technique is elegant method to probe any local or global structural change of a protein in responses to environmental stresses (heat, pH, and metal). Although the presence of the backbone chemical shifts (bbCSs) is a prerequisite for detailed NMR analyses of the structural changes, general HSQC-based triple resonance experiments could not be used for 62 kDa Hsp31 protein. Here, we prepared the per-deuterated Hsp31 and performed the TROSY-based triple resonance experiments for the bbCSs assignment. Here, detailed processes of per-deuteration and the NMR experiments are described for other similar NMR approaches.

환경에 존재하는 중금속인 Cd은 생물에게 유입되며 먹이사슬을 통해 생물에게 축적된다. 본 연구에서는 카드뮴 노출에 따른 오염지표생물인 실지렁이(Tubifex tubifex)의 체내 농축 반응 및 스트레스 유전자 발현 패턴을 분석하기 위해, 퇴적물 내 카드뮴 노출 후 생존율 변화, 체내 농축 농도 측정, 그리고 스트레스 반응 유전자인 열 충격 단백질(HSP60 and HSP70)과 항산화효소인 GST의 발현 패턴을 관찰하였다, Cd 노출 퇴적물에 노출된 T. tubifex의 생존율은 노출 10일에 0.4 mg kg^-1 Cd에서 93%, 1.87 mg kg^-1 Cd에서 96%, 6.09 mg kg^-1 Cd에서 93%로 관찰되었다. T. tubifex의 체내 Cd 농도는 퇴적물 내 Cd 농도에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 0.4 mg kg^-1 Cd에서는 실험 10일에 18.4 mg kg^-1 Cd, 1.87 mg kg^-1 Cd에서 실험 1일에 13.06 mg kg^-1 Cd, 6.09 mg kg^-1 Cd에서 실험 10일에 79.11 mg kg^-1 Cd로 가장 높게 나타났다. HSP60 유전자 발현은 6.09 mg kg^-1 Cd 노출 퇴적물에서 시간 의존적으로 발현이 대조군에 비해 증가였으며, HSP70은 모든 농도에서 대조군에 비해 시간 의존적인 발현의 증가를 보였다. 또한, GST는 모든 농도에서 실험 1일에 대조군에 비해 발현이 증가한 후, 실험 10일까지 발현이 감소하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 퇴적물 내에 존재하는 Cd에 대한 실지렁이의 생태독성학적 및 분자유전학적 독성영향을 확인한 결과로, 환경 내 오염지표종으로 실지렁이를 이용한 환경독성평가의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objective : Heat shock protein family is related to protective mechanism of cells by environmental changes. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of cryopreservation on the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) expression in mouse ovarian tissue. Methods : Cryopreservation of mouse ovarian tissue was carried out by slow freezing method. The mRNA level of Hsp90 expression in both fresh and cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue was analyzed by RT-PCR. The protein expression of Hsp90 was evaluated by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Results: The mRNA and protein of Hsp90 were expressed in both fresh and cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue. The amount of Hsp90 mRNA was increased in cryopreserved ovarian tissue after 60 and 90 minutes after thawing and incubation. The amount of Hsp90 protein was increased in the cryopreserved ovarian tissue after 6 hours of the incubation in Western blot analysis. In immunohistochemical study, Hsp90 protein was localized in cytoplasm of oocytes and granulosa cells. Significant level of immunoreactive Hsp90 protein was detected in theca cells contrast to the weak expression in ovarian epithelial cells. Conclusion: This results showed the increase of Hsp90 expression in both mRNA and protein level in the cryopreserved mouse ovarian tissue. It can be suggested that Hsp90 may play a role in the protective or recovery mechanism against the cell damage during cryopreservaion.
