Testosterone이 serum-free medium에서 배양한 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 세포성장과 기능에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포는 testosterone 1 nM의 농도에서 유의한 세포 성장 촉진 효과를 나타내었고, testosterone 10 nM이상의 농도에서는 세포성장이 억제되었다. 2. Testosterone은 serum-free medium에서 성장촉진인자의 하나인 hydrocortisone을 growth supplement로 넣어준 serum-free medium에서 토끼 신장의 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장을 촉진시키었다. 3. Testosterone은 hydrocortisone을 growth supplement로 넣어준 serum-free medium에서 토끼 신장의 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장을 촉진시키었다. 4. Testosterone은 Northern blot analysis에 의하여 확인한 토끼 신장의 근위 세뇨관 상피세포의 ${\beta}-actin$ mRNA level은 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아, serum-free 그리고 hormonally defined media에서 testosterone이 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장 및 기능에 대하여 촉진적으로 작용하는 것은 cellular mecrofilament의 중요한 구성단백의 하나로 밝혀진 ${\beta}-actin$의 합성 증가에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

웅성-마우스의 고환을 diethyl ether마취하에서 제거하고, 수종의 steroid 홀몬을 각각 매일 1회씩 4일간 피하주사한 다음 날의 오전 11-12 시에 뇌, 신장, 간장 및 소장의 polyamine을 검량하여 다음의 성적을 얻었다. 1. 고환절제-마우스(CM)에서, 소장 putrescine(PT)는 비고환절제-마우스(UCM)에 비하여 유의한 저하를 보였으나, 간 및 소장의 spermine(SM)은 오히려 유의하게 증가되었다. 2. Hydrocortisone 50 mg/kg는 UCM의 소장 PT는 현저히 증가시켰으나, CM의 뇌 PT 함량은 오히려 감소시켰다. 3. Estradiol 5 mg/kg는 UCM의 간 PT 함량을 현저히 증가시켰으며, CM에서는 간 PT 뿐만 아니라 신장의 전 polyamin 함량-증가와 아울러, 다소의 뇌 및 소장 PT-증가를 유도하였다. 4. Dehydroepiandrosterone 250 mg/kg(DHEA)와 testosterone 5 mg/kg(TS)는 UCM의 경우 신장 PT 함량만 유의하게 증가시켰으나, CM에서는 신장의 PT, spermidine(SD), 및 SM 모두를 더욱 현저히 증가시켰고, 아울러 DHEA는 간 SM의 감소를, TS는 뇌 SM의 유의한 증가를 유도하였다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼때, 간 및 소장의 polyamine대사-특히 PT함량의 변동은 각각 E2 및 HC에 의하여 보다 특이적으로 조절되고, 신장의 polyamine 대사는 성steroid들에 의하여 다소 비특이적인 조절을 받는 것으로 생각되며, 고환절제-마우스에서 나타나는 HC에 의한 뇌의 전potyamine감소 및 성steroid들에 의한 신장의 전polyamine증가의 발현기전에 대한 연구가 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Steroid hormone의 하나인 ${\beta}-estradiol$이 serum-free medium에서 배양한 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 세포성장과 기능에 미치는 영향을 관찰한 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 1. Serum-free medium에서 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포는 ${\beta}-estradiol$ 1 nM의 농도에서 유의한 세포 성장 촉진 효과를 나타내었고, ${\beta}-estradiol$ 10 nM이상의 농도에서는 세포성장이 억제되었다. 2. ${\beta}-Estradiol$은 serum-free medium에서 성장촉진인자의 하나인 hydrocortisone을 뺀 조건하에서 세포 성장을 증가시키었다. 3. ${\beta}-Estradiol$은 hydrocortisone을 growth supplement로 넣어준 serum-free medium에서 토끼 신장의 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장을 촉진시키었다. 4. ${\beta}-Estradiol$은 Northern blot analysis에 의하여 확인한 alpha I (IV) collagen mRNA level에는 별다른 변화를 보이지 않으나, ${\beta}-actin$mRNA level은 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아, serum-free 그리고 hormonally defined media에서 ${\beta}-estradiol이$ 토끼의 신장 근위세뇨관 상피세포의 성장 및 기능에 대하여 촉진적으로 작용하는 것은 cellular microfilament의 중요한 구성단백의 하나로 밝혀진 ${\beta}-actin$의 합성 증가에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Steroid $\Delta^1$-dehydrogenase purified from hydrocortisone-induced cells of Arthrobacter simplex converted various 3-ketosteroids into their corresponding $\Delta^1$-dehydrogenated products. The transformation efficiencies depend upon the chemical structure of the steroids, especially length of the side chain at 17 position and hydroxyl groups at 11 and 17 positions. The Km values for androstenedione, the most favorable substrate examined, and hydrocortisone were 74 ${\mu}M$ and 294 ${\mu}M$, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme reaction were 35$^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively, and the enzyme was relatively stable at the range from 20 to 35$^{\circ}C$ and from pH 5 to 10 after one hour of incubation. The enzyme activity was markedly inhibited in the presence of $Cu^{2+},\;Fe^{3+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Mo^{6+}$ ions, and somewhat inhibited by $Zn^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$. $\alpha,\alpha'$-Dipyridyl that inhibits 9$\alpha$-hydroxylase and accumulates 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione from sterols revealed no inhibitory effect on this enzyme. EGTA showed inhibitory effect. $\beta$-Estradiol competitively inhibited the enzyme activity. Chemical modifications of the enzyme were attempted with several reagents. p-Hydroxymer-curibenzoate showed inhibition of the enzyme activity and protection of the substrate. This suggests that cysteine residue may be involved in the active site of the enzyme.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of treating the pain among newborn infants associated with a medical procedure with sucrose with regard to overall physiological and behavioral stability. Methods: 103 newborn infants were enrolled in this study. The control group (n=63) did not receive any treatment. The experimental group (n=40) received 2 mL of 24% sucrose solution two minutes before a routine heel stick. The pain was assessed by measurements of physiological changes [e.g. pulse rate, oxygen saturation, salivary cortisol (hydrocortisone)] and behavioral changes [e.g. crying time, and the neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS) for neonates]. Results: There were no differences among the groups with respect to physiological changes associated with the pain from the procedure. However, there were significant group differences in behavioral changes to the pain. In the control group, the median crying time was 13 seconds, while in the experimental group, the median crying time was 3.5 seconds ($P$=.000). In the control group the median NIPS score was 4, while in the experimental group the median NIPS score was 2 ($P$=.000). Conclusions: These findings suggest that sucrose can be an effective method for the management of stress responses in infants with regard to behavior. However, this treatment had no significant physiological effects.

Steroid $\Delta^1$-dehydrogenase which introduces a double bond into the 1, 2 positions of steroid ring A was purified from Arthrobacter simplex, an excellent biotransformer of hydrocortisone into prednisolone. Hydrocortisone-induced cells were disrupted by vigorous agitation with glass beads, and a solubilized enzyme was obtained after centrifugation at 100, 000$\times$g for 90 minutes. The enzyme was purified 123-fold in three steps of chromatographic procedures with 13% yield. The last step of testosterone-agarose affinity column decisively contributed to the successful purification. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 98, 000 by SDS-PAGE and 100, 000 by gel filtration, indicating that this enzyme behaves as a monomer. The enzyme showed demands for artificial electron acceptor, and among the several reagents tested, phenazine methosulfate acted as the most effective electron acceptor. Subcellular distribution of this enzyme was studied by centrifugation experiment. Comparison of the enzyme activities in pelleted membrane and cytosol fractions suggests that the enzyme may be a weakly attached peripheral membrane protein in vivo. But considerable amounts of enzyme was solubilized without any additional treatments for membrane protein.

Lactadherin (formerly known as BA46), a major glycoprotein of the human milk fat globule membrane, is abundant in human breast milk and breast carcinomas and may prevent symptomatic rotavirus infections. In this study, under the control of mouse whey acidic protein (WAP) promoter, the expression pattern of lactadherin (Ltd) in lactogenic hormone-dependent mouse mammary epithelial cell line HC11 were tested. pLNWLtd construct containing 2.4 kilobases of the WAP promoter and 1.5 kilobases of human lactadherin gene was stably transfered into HC11 cells using retroviral vector system. Integration and expression level of the transgene was estimated using PCR and RT-PCR, respectively. Prominent induction of Ltd gene under the WAS promoter was accomplished in the presence of insulin, hydrocortisone and prolactin, while induction with insulin alone resulted in lower expression. Our results demonstrate that the expression of the transgene is increased by synergistic effect of several lactogenic hormones, including insulin, hydrocortisone, and prolactin.
