  • A novel cholesterol-based cationic lipid containing a tri-2-hydroxyethylamine head group and ether linker (Chol-THEA) was synthesized and examined as a potent gene delivery vehicle. In the preparation of cationic liposome, the addition of DOPE as helper lipid significantly increased the transfection efficiency. To find the optimum transfection efficiency, we screened various weight ratios of DOPE and liposome/DNA (N/P). The best transfection efficiency was found at the Chol-THEA:DOPE weight ratio of 1:1 and N/P weight ratio of 10~15. Most of the plasmid DNA was retarded by this liposome at the optimum N/P weight ratio of 10. The transfection efficiency of Chol-THEA liposome was compared with DOTAP, Lipofectamine, and DMRIE-C using the luciferase assay and GFP expression. Chol-THEA liposome with low toxicity had better or similar potency of gene delivery compared with commercial liposomes in COS-7, Huh-7, and MCF-7 cells. Therefore, Chol-THEA could be a useful non-viral vector for gene delivery.

  • A defective HIV-1 helper virus DNA, pHyPC, was assembled by deleting the RNA packaging signal, env, nef and the 3'LTR sequences. HIV-1 like virus particles that carry the HIV-1 receptor, CD4 were generated by co expression of pHyPC and plasmid DNAs encoding different chimeric CD4 proteins. The CD4 particles, sharing the CD4 ectodomain, precisely fused to different membrane anchors. CD4(+) particles specifically bound to HIV-1 Env expressing cells, but any signs of infection into these cells were not detected. Binding was only partially blocked by either polyclonal anti-CD4 antibodies or by high concentrations of soluble CD4. Surprisingly, CD4(+) particles also adsorbed to HeLa, CHO, NIH3T3 and COS-7 cells in the absence of HIV-1 Env expression. Adsorption was comparable in strength and speed to the highly specific CD4-Env interaction. CD4(-) particles exhibited only background levels of binding. Cell binding was CD4. dependent, but it was independent of the cell type from which the CD4(+) particles originated. Interestingly, CD4-dependent/Env-independent binding was only found when CD4 was present on virus particles. This suggests that the micro-environment of CD4 on virus particles uniquely expose this new cell binding activity. Its high affinity could explain in part why infection of Env(+) cells by CD4(+) particles was not detected. Further experiments will be required to evaluate whether this strong membrane interaction could represent one step in the multiple-step viral entry process.

  • Promoter가 없는 외래유전자를 이용하여 형질전환(形質轉換)시키고자 할 때의 최적조건(最適條件) 및 효율적인 형질전환체(形質轉換體)의 검정방법을 구명(究明)하고자 산림청(山林廳) 임목육종연구소(林木育種硏究所)에 식재된 잡종 포플러 양황철 62-9클론을 사용하여 재분화를 유도하고, 기내(器內) 형질전환실험(形質轉換實驗)을 실시하였다. 기내(器內)에서 식물체 재분화 유도를 위해서는 배지조성과 호르몬 농도의 조합이 가장 영향을 많이 끼치는 요인이었다. 여러 조합으로 엽조직 ($5{\times}5mm$ leaf strip)을 시료로 하여 MS 기본배지에 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, $0.1mg/{\ell}$ NAA, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, $2.0mg/{\ell}$ BAP를 혼합 처리하여 배양한 결과, $0.1mg/{\ell}$ NAA, $0.5mg/{\ell}$ BAP를 첨가한 호르몬 조합에서 즐기 분화율 및 explant당 분화된 부정줄기수가 상대적인 비율 94%(11.4개)로서 가장 높았다. 따라서 형질전환(形質轉換)된 엽조직(葉組織)을 재분화 시킬 때 이 조건을 줄기분화유도 배지 (SIM ; shoot-inducing medium)로 사용하였다. 선발유전자에 의한 항생제(抗生濟)의 선발농도(選拔濃度)를 알기 위해 pBI121로 형질전환(形質轉換)실험을 한 결과, cocultivation한 후 $100mg/{\ell}$ Km(kanamycin) 또는 $60mg/{\ell}$ G418(geneticin)이 첨가된 SIM 3 배지에서 2주가 경과하면서 육안으로 형질전환(形質轉換)된 부정아를 관찰할 수 있었고 이 부정아를 SIM 3로 옮긴지 6주 후에는 0.5-1cm 크기의 부정줄기로 자랐다. 그러나 대조(對照) 엽조직(葉組織)은 부정아형성이 거의 되지 않아, 선발유전자의 항생제(抗生濟) 선발농도(選拔濃度)는 이 조건이 최적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 형질전환체(形質轉換體)의 재분화율을 높이기 위해 5-azacytidine을 처리한 결과, 항생제(抗生濟) 선발배지하에서 재분회율을 5.7%에서 26.7%까지 높일 수 있었다. Fluorometric 및 histochemical assay 방법으로 GUS 유전자의 활성(活生)을 검정한 결과 vector system간에 형질전환율(形質轉換率)이 서로 다름을 확인할 수 있었다. LBA4404/pBI121을 vector로 사용한 양황철의 기내(器內) 형질전환(形質轉換) 실험에서는 낮은 形짧훌훌換率(5.7%)을 보였다. 그러나 보다 응양성(應梁性)이 높은 super virulence 유전자를 포함하는 pEHA101을 helper plasmid로 하여 실험한 결과 형질전환율(形質轉換率)이 35.9%로 pAL4404보다 훨씬 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 promoter가 없는 외래유전자를 이용하여 promoter tagging을 하고자 할 때 형질전환(形質轉換)실험에는 helper plasmid로써 pEHA101을 이용하는 것이 적합한 것으로 판명되었다.

  • The lactic acid bacteria species Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) has been used extensively for vaccine delivery. Considering to the critical role of dendritic cells in stimulating host immune response, in this study, we constructed a novel CD11c-targeting L. plantarum strain with surface-displayed variable fragments of anti-CD11c, single-chain antibody (scFv-CD11c). The newly designed L. plantarum strain, named 409-aCD11c, could adhere and invade more efficiently to bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) in vitro due to the specific interaction between scFv-CD11c and CD11c located on the surface of BMDCs. After incubation with BMDCs, the 409-aCD11c strain harboring a eukaryotic vector pValac-GFP could lead to more efficient expression of GFP compared with wild-type strains shown by flow cytometry analysis, indicating the enhanced translocation of pValac-GFP from L. plantarum to BMDCs. Similar results were also observed in an in vivo study, which showed that oral administration resulted in efficient expression of GFP in both Peyer's patches (PP) and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) within 7 days after the last administration. In addition, the CD11c-targeting strain significantly promoted the differentiation and maturation of DCs, the differentiation of $IL-4^+$ and $IL-17A^+$ T helper (Th) cells in MLNs, as well as production of $B220^+$ $IgA^+$ B cells in the PP. In conclusion, this study developed a novel DC-targeting L. plantarum strain which could increase the ability to deliver eukaryotic expression plasmid to host cells, indicating a promising approach for vaccine study.
