Ethanolic extract (50% v/v) and alkaloid fraction of Tylophora indica leaves were examined for lysosomal enzyme inhibitory activity in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. The alkaloid fraction showed statistically significant inhibition of arthritic lesions (p < 0.05) from day 18, (p < 0.025) from day 20 and (p < 0.001) from day 21 onwards in the adjuvant-induced arthritis, which was comparable to the response of standard drug Indomethacin. The ethanolic extract was less significant than the alkaloidal fraction in inhibition of arthritis. Alkaloid fraction showed significant (p < 0.001) inhibitory effect on the lysosomal enzyme activities in adjuvantinduced arthritic rats. It also significantly prevented decrease in collagen levels and synovial damage observed during arthritis and also inhibited increase in urinary excretion levels of collagen degradation products like hydroxyproline, hexosamine, hexuronic acid, etc. Both ethanolic extract as well as the alkaloid fraction, however, did not show any significant activity in normal nonarthritic rats. The ethanolic extract and the alkaloid fraction may thus be able to inhibit the progress of inflammation and inhibit the destructive activity of lysosomal enzymes on structural macromolecules like collagen etc. in the synovial capsule in joints during arthritic states. They may thus prevent synovial damage observed during arthritis.

An enzyme that hydrolyzes flavin-adenine dinucleotide (FAD) was found to be present in rat liver lysosomal membrane prepared from Triton WR-1339 filled lysosomes (tritosomes) purified by flotation on sucrose. This FAD phosphohydrolase (FADase) exhibited optimal activity at pH 8.5 and had an apparent Km of approximately 3.3 mM. The activity was decreased 50~70% by dialysis against EDTA and this was restored by $Zn^{2+}$, $Mg^{+2}$, $Hg^{+2}$, and $Ca^{+2}$ ions inhibited the enzyme, but $F^-$ and molybdate had no effect. The enzyme was also inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB), reduced glutathione and other thiols, cyanide, and ascorbate. The presence of ATP, ADP, AMP. ${\alpha}-{\beta}-methylene$ ATP, AMP-p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNP), GMP, and coenzyme A (CoA) decreased the activity on FAD, but pyrimidine nucleotides, adenosine, adenine, or $NAD^+$ were without effect. Phosphate stimulated the activity slightly. FAD phosphohydrolase activity was separated from ATPase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities by solubilization with detergents and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by linear sucrose density gradient centrifugation suggesting that the enzyme is different from ATPase, inorganic pyrophosphatase, and soluble lysosomal FAD pyrophosphatase. Paper chromatography showed that FAD was hydrolyzed to flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and AMP which were further hydrolyzed to riboflavin and AMP by phosphatases known to be present in lysosomal membranes. Incubation of the intact Iysosomes with pronase showed that the active site of FAD phosphohydrolase must be oriented to the cytosol. The FAD hydrolyzing activity was detected in Golgi, microsome, and plasma membrane, but not in mitochondria or soluble lysosomal preparations.

면역 보체가 결합되어 있는 zymosan에 의하여 활성화된 다형핵 백혈구에서 세포 투과성 물질인 N-ethylmaleiamide과 $Hg^{++}$은 superoxide 라디칼 생성, NADPH oxidase 활성도 및 lysosomal enzyme (lactic dehydrogenase, ${\beta}-glucuronidase$)의 유리를 억제하였다. 세포막 단백에 특이적인 p-chloromercuribenzoic acid와 p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid는 superoxide 라디칼 생성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 NADPH oxidase 활성도와 lysosomal enzyme의 유리를 억제하였다. 식작용 중에 세포막과 세포내의 sulfhydryl기는 반응시간에 따라 점진적으로 감소하였다. N-ethylmaleiamide와 $Hg^{++}$은 세포막과 세포내의 sulfhydryl기를 모두 감소시켰다. P-Chloromercuribenzoic acid와 p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid는 세포막의 sulfhydryl기를 유의하게 감소시켰으나 세포내 용해성 sulfhydryl기에는 영향을 주지않았다. Cysteine과 mercaptopropionylglycine는 superoxide 라디칼의 생성과 lysosomal enzyme의 유리를 억제하였다. Gluthathione은 superoxide생성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 뚜렷하게 lactic dehydrogenase의 유리를 억제하였다. N-ethylmaleiamide에 의한 superoxide 생성의 억제는 cysteine과 mercaptopropionyl-glycine에 의하여 반전되었으나 gluthathione의 영향은 없었다. N-ethylamleiamide에 의한 NADPH oxidase의 비활성화는 gluthathione, cysteine과 mercaptopropionylglycine에 의하여 저해되었다. Carbachol에 의하여 항진된 superoxide 라디칼 생성은 N-ethylamleiamide에 의하여 완전히 억제되었고, atropine에 의하여 길항되었다. 그러므로, 외부 자극에 대한 다형핵 백혈구 반응의 표현은 sulfhydryl기의 양의 변화와 연관이 있을 것으로 시사되었다. Lysosomal enzyme 유리는 세포막과 세포내의 sulfhydryl기에 의하여, 이에 반하여 superoxide생성은 세포내 sulfhydryl기에 의해서 영향받을 것으로 추정되었다.

The transport of lysosomal enzymes into the lysosomes depends on the phosphorylation of their chains and the binding of the phosphorylated residues to mannose-6-phosphate receptors. The efficiency of separation depends more on the phosphodiesterases (PDEs) than on the activity of the phosphorylation of mannose residues and can be determined in vitro. PDEs play important roles in regulation of the activation of lysosomes. The expression of proteins was confirmed by western blotting. All PDE4 series protein expression was reduced in high concentrations of rolipram. As a result of observing the fluorescence intensity after rolipram treatment, the lysosomal enzyme was activated at low concentrations and suppressed at high concentrations. High concentrations of rolipram recovered the original function. Antimicrobial activity was not shown in either 10 or $100{\mu}M$ concentrations of rolipram in treated HeLa cells in vitro. However, the higher anticancer activity at lower rolipram concentration was shown in lysosomal enzyme treated with $10{\mu}M$ of rolipram. The anticancer activity was confirmed through cathepsin B and D assay. Tranfection allowed examination of the relationship between PDE4 and lysosomal activity in more detail. Protein expression was confirmed to be reduced. Fluorescence intensity showed decreased activity of lysosomes and ROS in cells transfected with the antisense sequences of PDE4 A, B, C, and D. PDE4A showed anticancer activity, whereas lysosome from cells transfected with the antisense sequences of PDE4 B, C, and D had decreased anticancer activity. These results showed the PDE4 A, B, C, and D are conjunctly related with lysosomal activity.

전통차 제조용 식물 63종을 대상으로 macrophage lysosomal enzyme activity를 검색한 결과, 홍화 냉수 추출물에서 높은 macrophage lysosomal enzyme 활성 (219%)을 발견하여 냉수 추출물 CT-0 획분에 대하여 metahnol 환류, ethanol 침전, 투석, 동결건조를 실시하여 macrophage lysosomal enzyme 활성이 더욱 증가된(227%) 고분자 획분 CT-1을 얻었다. 이 획분의 macrophage활성화 성분의 본체를 파악하기 위하여 pronate처리에 의한 단백질 분해와 periodate를 이용한 당 부위의 선택적 실활 후 활성을 검토한 결과, pronase를 처리한 CT-1에서는 약 8% 정도의 활성 증가를 보인반면 periodate 산화물에서는 활성이 약 8% 정도 감소되는 것으로 보아 홍화로부터 macrophage 활성을 나타내는 냉수 추출물의 활성 본체는 다당임을 알 수 있었다. 조다당 활성획분에 대하여 anion exchange column chromatography를 실시하여 9개의 획분(CT-1-I~CT-1-VIII)을 얻었으며 수율과 활성이 가장 높은 CT-1-IIa 획분을 Sepharose CL-6B 및 Sephacrl S-200의 gel permeation chromatography를 수행하여 주요 활성 다당인 CT-1-IIa-2-1을 최종적으로 정제하였다. HPLC상에서 순수한 단일 peak로 확인된 CT-1-IIa-2-1은 분자량이 68 kDa정도의 다당인 것으로 나타났고 macrophage의 lysosomal enzyme 활성은 대조군을 100%로 비교했을 때 243%를 나타내었다. 또한 구성당의 조성은 xylose(27.4%), arabinose(16.1%), mannose(15.9%), glucose(14.5%)의 순이었다. 본 연구에서 CT-1-IIa-2-1은 macrophage의 면역활성을 증가시키는 물질임이 확인되었으나 mouse를 대상으로 급성독성 검사를 실시한 결과 LD$_{50}$값이 397mg/kg으로 일정 농도 이상의 고농도에서는 독성을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 시료에 대하여 아만성.만성 독성과 유전 및 면역 독성과 같은 구체적인 독성 검사를 실시하여 안전농도를 산출한다면, 면역증강물질로의 개발이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.다.

Enzyme replacement therapy for lysosomal storage diseases usually requires recombinant enzymes containing mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) glycans for cellular uptake and lysosomal targeting. For the first time, a strategy is established here for the in vitro mannosyl-phosphorylation of high-mannose type N-glycans that utilizes a recombinant Mnn14 protein derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among a series of N-terminal- or C-terminal-deleted recombinant Mnn14 proteins expressed in Pichia pastoris, rMnn1477-935 with deletion of N-terminal 76 amino acids spanning the transmembrane domain (46 amino acids) and part of the stem region (30 amino acids), showed the highest level of mannosyl-phosphorylation activity. The optimum reaction conditions for rMnn1477-935 were determined through enzyme assays with a high-mannose type N-glycan (Man8GlcNAc2) as a substrate. In addition, rMnn1477-935 was shown to mannosyl-phosphorylate high-mannose type N-glycans (Man7-9GlcNAc2) on recombinant human lysosomal alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) with remarkably high efficiency. Moreover, the majority of the resulting mannosyl-phosphorylated glycans were bis-form which can be converted to bis-phosphorylated M6P glycans having a superior lysosomal targeting capability. An in vitro N-glycan mannosyl-phosphorylation reaction using rMnn1477-935 will provide a flexible and straightforward method to increase the M6P glycan content for the generation of "Biobetter" therapeutic enzymes.

The Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, were stressed with different concentrations of benzo(a) pyrene and depurated to determine the hemocyte lysosomal membrane stability and hydrolytic enzymatic activity as a biomarker candidate to the chemical, using NRR (neutral red retention) and API ZYM System, respectively. The membrane damage measured as NRR decrease was significant with the increase of chemical concentration and exposure time (P<0.05), providing a possible tool for biomarker. Interestingly, the control showed intrinsic stress probably due to captive life in the laboratory, and a recovering trend was also found during the depuration. The benzo(a)pyrene-exposed oysters showed increased enzyme activities in alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phospho­hydrolase, $\beta$-galactosidase, $\beta$-glucuronidase, and N-acetyl- $\beta$-glucosaminidase. Of them, only two enzymes, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase, showed some potential available for the generation of enzymatic biomarker in the oyster. The results are suggestive of the potential availability of the cellular and enzymatic properties as a biomarker. However, considering that a robust biomarker should be insensitive to natural stress coming from normal physiological variation, but sensitive to pollutants, a concept of intrinsic stress the animal possesses should be taken into consideration. This reflects the necessity of further research on the intrinsic stress affecting the cellular and enzymatic properties of the chemical­stressed oysters prior to using the data as a biomarker.
