BCS1L gene encodes mitochondrial protein and is a member of conserved AAA protein family. This gene is involved in the incorporation of Rieske FeS and Qcr10p into complex III of respiratory chain. In our previous study, AluYRa2-derived alternative transcript in rhesus monkey genome was identified. However, this transcript has not been reported in human genome. In present study, we conducted evolutionary analysis of AluYRa2-exonized transcript with various primate genomic DNAs and cDNAs from humans, rhesus monkeys, and crabeating monkeys. Remarkably, our results show that AluYRa2 element has only been integrated into genomes of Macaca species. This Macaca lineage-specific integration of AluYRa2 element led to exonization event in the first intron region of BCS1L gene by producing a conserved 3' splice site. Intriguingly, in rhesus and crabeating monkeys, more diverse transcript variants by alternative splicing (AS) events, including exon skipping and different 5' splice sites from humans, were identified. Alignment of amino acid sequences revealed that AluYRa2-exonized transcript has short N-terminal peptides. Therefore, AS events play a major role in the generation of various transcripts and proteins during primate evolution. In particular, lineage-specific integration of Alu elements and species-specific Alu-derived exonization events could be important sources of gene diversification in primates.

조류인플루엔자 바이러스 H7 subtype에 속하는 바이러스 중 일부는 가금류에 감염할 경우 고병원성이 발휘된다. 또 H7 아형 AIV중 일부는 사람에 감염하여 사망 등을 유발할 수도 있다. 본 연구는 야생조류로부터 분리된 H7 아형 조류인플루엔자 바이러스 6주(H7N7 아형 4주, H7N1 아형 2주)를 대상으로 8개 유전자 분절 전체의 염기서열을 분석하여 병원성, 사람 감염 가능성 등 그 특성을 조사하였다. 계통유전학적 분석결과, 국내에서 분리된 H7 아형 분리주들은 8개 유전자(HA, NA, PB2, PB1, PA, NP, M, NS) 모두 Eurasian lineage로 분류되었으나, Eurasian lineage 내에서도 각기 다른 sublineage로 분류되어 유전적 다양성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 한국 분리주 6주는 HA 단백질 분절부위 아미노산은 두 종류(PEIPKGR 및 PELPKGR)의 motif를 가지고 있었으나, 모두 저병원성 바이러스 특성을 가지고 있었다. 숙주세포 결합 특이성과 관련 있는 HA 단백질 receptor-binding site를 분석한 결과, 한국 분리주 모두는 사람 세포 수용체 결합특이성보다는 조류 세포 수용체 결합 특이성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 사람 감염 가능성을 높게 하는 부위에서의 아미노산 치환(PB2 단백질의 E627K 및 PB1단백질의 I368V)도 나타나지 않았고, 또한 NA stalk region에서의 결손도 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 미루어 볼 때 한국 야생조류에서 분리된 H7 아형 6주 모두는 저병원성 바이러스로 최근 중국에서 사람 감염이 나타나고 있는 H7N9 바이러스와는 유전적으로 다른 계열의 바이러스인 것으로 판단된다.

The use of transgenic fish has so far been chiefly limited by the lack of predictable, strong, tissue specific, and position-independent expression of transgenes. For genetic analysis, expression of a marker transgene, easily screenable in the living fish, could facilitate studies of gene targeting, insertional mutagenesis, lineage, and mutational analysis.

300 extracts derived from 100 plants were tested for their potential to induce HL-60 cell differentiation using NBT assay and NSE/SE staining methods. Morphological changes from suspended to adherent state of the cells were also observed by microscopic examination. In result, 55 extracts induced cell differentiation into monocyte/macrophage lineage in the NBT and the NSE assay.

Helenalin, a cell-permeable pseudoguainolide sesquiterpene lactone, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits $NF-{\kappa}B$ DNA binding activity by selectively alkylating the p65 subunit of $NF-{\kappa}B$. Transcription factors such as $NF-{\kappa}B$ provide powerful target of drugs to use in the treatment of cancer. Human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells are differentiated into monocytic or granulocytic lineage when treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3{\;}[1,25-(OH)_2D_3]$ or all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), respectively.

Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are multi-potent mesenchymal stem cells that have several differentiation potentials. An understanding of thetissues that differentiate from these cells can provide insights for future regenerative therapeutics and tissue engineering strategies. The mesiodens is the most frequent form of supernumerary tooth from which DPSCs can differentiate into several lineages similar to cells from normal deciduous teeth. Recently, it has been shown that nanoscale structures can affect stem cell differentiation. In our presentstudy, we investigated the effects of a 250-nm nanoscale ridge/groove pattern array on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of dental pulp cells from mesiodenscontaining human DPSCs. To this end, the expression of lineage specific markers after differentiation induction was analyzed by lineage specific staining and RT-PCR. The nanoscale pattern arrayed surface showed apositive effect on the adipogenic differentiation of DPSCs. There was no difference between nanoscale pattern arrayed surface and conventional surface groups onosteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, the nanoscale ridge/groove pattern arrayed surface can be used to enhance the adipogenic differentiation of DPSCs derived from mesiodens. This finding provides an improved understanding of the effects of topography on cell differentiation as well as the potential use of supernumerary tooth in regenerative dental medicine.
