  • Endotoxin including lipopolysaccharide (LPS) confers organ tolerance against subsequent challenge by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) insult. The mechanisms underlying this powerful adaptive defense remain to be defined. Therefore, in this study we attempted to determine whether nitric oxide (NO) and its associated enzymes, inducible NOS (iNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS, a constitutive NOS), are associated with LPS-induced renal tolerance against I/R injury, using iNOS (iNOS knock-out) or eNOS (eNOS knock-out) gene-deleted mice. A systemic low dose of LPS pretreatment protected kidney against I/R injury. LPS treatment increased the activity and expression of iNOS, but not eNOS, in kidney tissue. LPS pretreatment in iNOS, but not eNOS, knock-out mice did not protect kidney against I/R injury. In conclusion, the kidney tolerance to I/R injury conferred by pretreatment with LPS is mediated by increased expression and activation of iNOS.

  • Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate ($IP_3$) receptor ($IP_3R$)-mediated signaling pathway is involved in many cellular processes including fertilization, apoptosis and neuronal function. Although cardiac myocytes express the $IP_3R$, its pathophysiological role has not been clearly understood because of limited selectivity of currently available pharmacological blockers. In the present study we constructed shRNA-expressing adenovirus to knock-down the type 2 $IP_3R$ ($IP_3R2$), a major subtype in cardiac ventricular myocytes, and demonstrated that the virus successfully eliminated the expression and localization of the $IP_3R2$. These results may provide a reliable tool for probing pathophysiological roles of the $IP_3R2$ in isolated intact cardiac myocytes.

  • The knock characteristics in an engine were investigated under homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) operation. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)and gasoline were used as fuels and injected at the intake port using port fuel injection equipment. Di-methyl ether (DME) was used as an ignition promoter and was injected directly into the cylinder near compression top dead center (TDC). A commercial variable valve timing device was used to control the volumetric efficiency and the amount of internal residual gas. Different intake valve timingsand fuel injection amounts were tested to verify the knock characteristics of the HCCI engine. The ringing intensity (RI) was used to define the intensity of knock according to the operating conditions. The RI of the LPG HCCI engine was lower than that of the gasoline HCCI engine at every experimental condition. The indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) dropped when the RI was over 0.5 MW/m2and the maximum combustion pressure was over 6.5MPa. There was no significant relationship between RI and fuel type. The RI can be predicted by the crank angle degree (CAD) at 50 CA. Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions were minimized at high RI conditions. The shortest burn duration under low RI was effective in achieving low HC and CO emissions.

  • TALEN은 특정유전자를 표적 하여 knock-out 시킬 수 있는 새로운 개념의 유전자 클로닝 방법이다. TALEN 플라스미드에는 DNA binding 도메인과 Fok1 절단효소 기능이 융합되어 있기 때문에, genomic DNA 의 어느 부위라도 결합할 수 있고, 표적 염기서열을 절단하여 유전자 돌연변이를 유도할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 우리는 SETDB1 HMTase 유전자의 단백질 개시코돈 과 프로모터 -25 upstream 부위를 표적 하는 두 종의 TALEN constructs 를 제작하였다. 이를 위하여 두 단계의 클로닝이 진행되었다. 첫 번째는 모듈벡터에서 pFUS배열벡터로 표적서열을 옮겨 콜로니 PCR을 통해 smear밴드와 Esp1 제한 효소를 이용하여 약 1 kb의 insert가 들어 있음을 확인하였다. 두 번째는 배열 벡터로부터 TALEN 발현벡터로 옮기는 과정을 진행하였으며, 염기서열분석을 통해 확인하였다. 그 결과 최초의 고안된 모듈벡터 서열들이 약 100 bp 간격으로 배열되어 있음을 확인하였다. 제작된 TALEN-DBEX2 construct는 transfection을 통해 SETDB1의 발현이 사라지는 것을 확인하였고, T7E1 분석을 통하여 표적부위에서 돌연변이가 발생하였음을 추정할 수 있었다. 한편, TALEN-DBPR25 transfection을 통하여서도 SETDB1의 발현이 감소하는 현상을 확인 하였다. DBEX2, DBPR25를 이입시킨 HeLa 세포에서 세포 형태가 길어지는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러므로 단백질 개시코돈 또는 -25 upstream을 표적 하는 TALEN knock-out 방법은 SETDB1 유전자의 기능연구에 매우 유용하다고 사료된다.

  • Creating different cutout shapes in order to make doors and windows, reduce the structural weight or implement various mechanisms increases the likelihood of buckling in thin-walled structures. In this study, the effect of cutout shape and geometric imperfection (GI) is simultaneously investigated on the critical buckling load and knock-down factor (KDF) of composite cylindrical shells. The GI is modeled using single perturbation load approach (SPLA). First, in order to assess the finite element model, the critical buckling load of a composite shell without cutout obtained by SPLA is compared with the experimental results available in the literature. Then, the effect of different shapes of cutout such as circular, elliptic and square, and perturbation load imperfection (PLI) is investigated on the buckling behavior of cylindrical shells. Results show that the critical buckling load of a shell without cutout decreases by increasing the PLI, whereas increasing the PLI does not have a great impact on the critical buckling load in the presence of cutout imperfection. Increasing the cutout area reduces the effect of the PLI, which results in an increase in the KDF.

  • The discovery and mechanistic understanding of target-specific genome engineering technologies has led to extremely effective and specific genome editing in higher organisms. Target-specific genetic modification technology is expected to have a leading position in future gene therapy development, and has a ripple effect on various basic and applied studies. However, several problems remain and hinder efficient and specific editing of target genomic loci. The issues are particularly critical in precise targeted insertion of external DNA sequences into genomes. Here, we discuss some recent efforts to overcome such problems and present a perspective of future genome editing technologies.

  • The evolution of genome editing technology based on CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) system has led to a paradigm shift in biological research. CRISPR/Cas9-guide RNA complexes enable rapid and efficient genome editing in mammalian cells. This system induces double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) at target sites and most DNA breakages induce mutations as small insertions or deletions (indels) by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway. However, for more precise correction as knock-in or replacement of DNA base pairs, using the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway is essential. Until now, many trials have greatly enhanced knock-in or substitution efficiency by increasing HDR efficiency, or newly developed methods such as Base Editors (BEs). However, accuracy remains unsatisfactory. In this review, we summarize studies to overcome the limitations of HDR using the CRISPR system and discuss future direction.

  • Silencing of Dicer1 by siRNA did not inhibit development up to the blastocyst stage, but decreased expression of selected transcription factors, including Oct-4, Sox2 and Nanog, suggesting that Dicer1 gene expression is associated with differentiation processes at the blastocyst stage (Cui et al., 2007). In order to get insights into genes which may be linked with microRNA system, we compared gene expression profiles in Gapdh and Dicer1 siRNA-microinjected blastocysts using the Applied Biosystem microarray technology. Our data showed that 397 and 737 out of 16354 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively, following siRNA microinjection (p<0.05), including 24 up- and 28 down-regulated transcription factors. Identification of genes that are preferentially expressed at particular Dicer1 knock down embryos provides insights into the complex gene regulatory networks that drive differentiation processes in embryos at blastocyst stage.

  • Pressure resonance frequency that is caused in the combustion chamber can be interpreted to acoustic analysis. Until now the pressure resonance has been assumed and calculated to a disc type combustion chamber that neglected the combustion chamber height because the knock occurs near the TDC(top dead center). In this research FEM(fine element method) has been used to calculate the pressure resonance frequency inside the experimental engine combustion. The reduce error of the resonance frequency obtained by FEM has decreased about 50% compared to the calculation of Draper's equation. Due to the asymmetry in the shape of the combustion chamber that was neglected in Draper's equation we could find out that a new resonance frequency could be generated. To make the experimental results equal we could know that the speed of sound that satisfies Draper's equation was selected 13% higher than all the pent-roof type combustion considered.
