The effects of glucose concentration on the production of PHB by fed-batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha were investigated. In the range of glucose concentration of $2.5\;{\sim}\;40\;g/l$, it was found that the high glucose concentration was not favorable for the PHB formation after the phosphate limitation. It was further confirmed by the specific PHB synthesis rates and yields. The PHB concentration decreased much with the increase of glucose concentration. But if the glucose concentration was very low, e.g. 2.5 g/l, the cell growth and PHB synthesis also could be limited because of inadequate glucose supply. Itwould be better to maintain the glucose concentration at about 9.0 g/l to obtain high DCW, PHB concentration and productivity.

Recently, diabetes has been found to be associated with osteoporosis. Specially in IDDM. In both type I and type II diabetes, glucose levels are elevated. Thus, a linkage between high glucose and osteoporosis can not be ruled out. In this study, an attempt has been made to observe the effect of high glucose on bone formation; osteoblast like UMR 106 cells were treated with high glucose (22 mM, 33 mM) for 1, 3 or 7 days. The high concentration of glucose inhibited markers. of bone formation activity such as alkaline phosphatase and collagen synthesis. In addition, reduction in the level of total cellular protein in response to high glucose was also observed. This study showed high glucose concentration could alter the bone metabolism leading to a defective bone formation and thus paving the linkage of such situation to diabetic complications.

In order to control glucose concentration during fed-batch culture for antibiotic production, we applied so called “software sensor” which estimates unmeasured variable of interest from measured process variables using software. All data for analysis were collected from industrial scale cultures in a pharmaceutical company. First, we constructed an estimation model for glucose feed rate to keep glucose concentration at target value. In actual fed-batch culture, glucose concentration was kept at relatively high and measured once a day, and the glucose feed rate until the next measurement time was determined by an expert worker based on the actual consumption rate. Fuzzy neural network (FNN) was applied to construct the estimation model. From the simulation results using this model, the average error for glucose concentration was 0.88 g/L. The FNN model was also applied for a special culture to keep glucose concentration at low level. Selecting the optimal input variables, it was possible to simulate the culture with a low glucose concentration from the data sets of relatively high glucose concentration. Next, a simulation model to estimate time course of glucose concentration during one day was constructed using the on-line measurable process variables, since glucose concentration was only measured off-line once a day. Here, the recursive fuzzy neural network (RFNN) was applied for the simulation model. As the result of the simulation, average error of RFNN model was 0.91 g/L and this model was found to be useful to supervise the fed-batch culture.

유전자 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-E2 특이성 인간 모노클론 항체의 Fab부분이 생산되 었다. 재조합 대장균의 고밀도 배양과 이를 통한 재조합 인 간 항체의 고생산성을 확보하기 위한 최적 전략을 개발하기 위해 포도당과 초산의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 포도당의 농 도가 높을수록 세포의 성장속도는 빨라지고 포도당의 소모속 도도 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다, 이때 포도당의 소모속도가 빨 라질수록 초산의 대사 부산물로서의 생성속도도 빨라졌다. 그러나 포도당이 고갈되면 일단 축적된 초산은 에너지원으로 소모되기 시작하고 이때의 소모속도는 배지내의 포도당의 농 도에 의존함을 알 수 있었다. 즉 초기 포도당의 농도가 어느 정도 높아 잔존 포도당의 농도가 높은 경우, 초산의 생성 속 도는 높고 에너지원으로 소모되는 속도는 느려져서 초산의 축적현상이 기하급수적으로 증가한다. 이렇게 높은 포도당 농도에 따라 축적된 초산은 항체 생산을 저해하였고, 저해를 위한 임계 초산 농도는$0.6g/\ell$이었다. 발현에 의해 항체를 생산하는 시기에서는, 포도당 농도가 높을수록 세포성장이 증대되나 초산에 의 한 저해 현상 및 catabolic repression의 영 향으로 항체 생산이 감소하였다. 따라서 발현 후 항체의 생산을 증진시키기 위해서는 포도당과 초산의 농도를 가능한 한 낮게 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 그러므로 고말도 배양과 재조합 인간 항체의 높은 생산성을 확보하기 위해서는 배양 액내의 포도당과 초산의 농도를 정밀하게 조절하는 것이 절실히 요구된다.

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders manifested by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. Mounting evidence demonstrates that diabetes is a risk factor for gingivitis and periodontitis. The circulating mononuclear phagocytes in diabetic patients with hyperglycemia are chronically exposed to high level of serum glucose. Thus, this study attempted to determine the effect of pre-exposure of monocytes and macrophages to high concentration of glucose on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Material and Methods: For this purpose, cells were cultured in medium containing normal (5 mM) or high glucose (25 mM) for 4-5 weeks before treatment for 24 h with LPS. LPS was highly purified from Porphyromonas gingivalis or Prevotella intermedia by phenol extraction. Result: Results showed that prolonged pre-exposure of cells to high glucose markedly increased LPS-stimulated NO secretion when compared to normal glucose. In addition to NO, high glucose also augmented LPS-stimulated IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-$\alpha$ secretion after cells were exposed to high glucose for 4 weeks. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that pre-exposure of mononuclear phagocytes with high glucose augments LPS-stimulated production of pro-inflammatory mediators. These findings may explain why periodontal tissue destruction in diabetic patients is more severe than that in non-diabetic individuals.

Chromium is an essential nutrient and participates in glucose and lipid metabolism in human beings and animals. The present study was conducted to assess the effects of chromium picolinate (Cr-pic) on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in type I and ll diabetic rats. The experimental groups were type I diabetic (streptozotocin-induced: 40 mg/kg, i.p.) and type II diabetic (Goto-Kakizaki rats) models. Each group was subdivided into control. low-dose and high-dose of Cr-pic treated groups. The Cr-pic was orally administered with Cr-pic (100 mg/kg for low dose group and 200 mg/kg for high dose group) for 4 weeks. And then we performed intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) and insulin sensitivity test (ITT). The glucose tolerance test was carried out by inection of glucose (2 g/kg, i.p.). The peripheral insulin sensitivity test was con- ducted by injection of insulin (5 units/kg, s.c.) and glucose. We performed determining of blood glucose concentration at 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min using automated glucose analyzer. The plasma insulin concentration was determined by rat insulin EIA kit. Administration of Cr-pic improved weight gain in all group s with higher significant in the low-dose group. There was no significance between the control and the Cr-pic treated groups in the area under the blood glucose curve and serum insulin concentration plots of IPGTT and peripheral ITT in type I diabetic rats. But Cr-pic treated groups showed significantly lower levels of the area under the blood glucose currie during IPGTT and ITT and the high-dose group showed less effects compared with the low-dose group in the type II diabetic rats. The plasma insulin concentration of both diabetic groups was not influenced by Cr-pic supplementation. We can conclude that chromium picolinate may improve the endogenous and exogenous insulin action and peripheral insulin sensitivity in type II diabetic rats.
