  • Purpose: Liver metastasis (LM) is reported in approximately 40% of patients with advanced/metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (metastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma; mGEA) and is associated with a worse prognosis. This post-hoc analysis from the RAINBOW trial reported the efficacy, safety, and biomarker outcomes of ramucirumab and paclitaxel combination treatment (RAM+PAC) in patients with (LM+) and without (LM-) LM at baseline. Materials and Methods: Patients (n=665) were randomly assigned on a 1:1 basis to receive either RAM+PAC (LM+: 150, LM-: 180) or placebo and paclitaxel (PL+PAC) (LM+: 138, LM-: 197). The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using stratified Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models. The correlation of dichotomized biomarkers (VEGF-C, D; VEGFR-1,2) with efficacy in the LM+ versus LM- subgroups was analyzed using the Cox regression model with reported interaction P-values. Results: The presence of LM was associated with earlier progression than those without LM, particularly in patients receiving PL+PAC (hazard ratio [HR], 1.68). RAM+PAC treatment improved OS and PFS irrespective of LM status but showed greater improvement in LM+ than that in LM- (OS HR, 0.71 [LM+] vs. 0.88 [LM-]; PFS HR, 0.47 [LM+] vs. 0.76 [LM-]). Treatment-emergent adverse events were similar between patients with and without LM. No predictive relationship was observed between biomarker levels (VEGF-C, D; VEGFR-1,2) and efficacy outcome (OS, PFS) (all interaction P-values >0.05). Conclusions: RAM provided a significant benefit, irrespective of LM status; however, its effect was numerically stronger in patients with LM. Therefore, RAM+PAC is a clinically meaningful therapeutic option for patients with mGEA and LM.

  • 전편의 연구결과[1]를 토대로 또 다른 방법으로써 폴리이미드의 구조를 변화시켜 방향족 폴리벤즈이미다졸(PBI)과의 블렌드들의 상용성 및 상용성을 가져다 주는 상호작용의 세기를 상대적으로 비교하였다. 이 연구에서 방향족 폴리이미드(PI)는 두 개의 디아민인 4,4'-methylene dianiline (4,4'-MDA)과 4,4'-oxydianiline (4,4'-ODA)을 dianhydride인 3,3',4,4'-diphenylsulfone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (DSDA)와의 축합반응을 통하여 용매인 DMAc로 폴리아믹산(PAA)을 합성한 후 열경화하여 얻었다. 이들 폴리아믹산(PAA)을 poly2,2-(m-phenylene)-5,5'-bibenzimidazole (PBI)와 용액 블렌딩하여 PBI/PAA 블렌드를 열경화시켜 PBI/PI의 블렌드로 전환시킨후 상용성을 조사하고 전편의 블렌드에 사용된 폴리이미드[1]와 이 연구에 사용된 폴리이미드의 구조변화에 대한 상호작용의 상대적인 크기를 조사하였다. 연구에 사용된 두 가지 블렌드인 PBI/DSDA+4.4'-MDA (Blend-V)와 PBI/DSDA+4.4'-ODA (Blend-VI)는 사용성을 보였다. 이는 성현된 필름이 투명하고, 전 블렌드 조성에 대해서 하나의 $T_g$를 가지며, 또한 블렌드 조성에 따른 N-H ($3418cm^{-1}$)와 C=O 스트레칭 밴드(1730 및 $1780cm^{-1}$)의 주파수 이동폭이 각각 $39{\sim}40cm^{-1}$, $5{\sim}6cm^{-1}$$3{\sim}4cm^{-1}$이었다. 이 연구에 사용된 블렌드들에 대하여 두 성분 고분자간 상호작용의 세기를 실험치와 Fox식으로 계산된 유리전이온도차로 생긴 면적(A), Gordon-Taylor 식에서의 ${\kappa}$ 값, 그리고 관능기인 N-H와 카보닐기의 주파수 이동폭의 변화로 살펴보았다. 이들에 대한 결과로 먼저, 면적 (A)와 ${\kappa}$ 값에 있어서 Blend-V와 Blend-VI이 전편의 블렌드 [1]인 Blend-III와 Blend-IV에 비해 작은 값을 보였다. 또한 관능기의 주파수 이동에 있어서도 이에 대한 결과와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 블렌드에 사용된 PI의 구조변화에 따라 상호작용이 다른 것은 PI 합성시에 사용된 서로 다른 dianhydride의 구조에서 페닐링 사이에 존재하는 linkage인 C=O보다 $SO_2$가 존재할 때[Fig. 2] 블렌드를 이루는 두 고분자사이의 상호작용인 수소결합력을 약화시키는 spacer로 작용한 것으로 사료된다. 다시 말하면, 전자가 후자보다 더 큰 입체장애를 일으켰기 때문이라 사려된다.

  • Cadmium intoxication has been associated with the dysregulation of iron homeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of cadmium on the expression of ferroportin 1 (FPN1), an important iron transporter protein that is involved in iron release from macrophages. When we incubated cadmium with J774 mouse macrophage cells, FPN1 mRNA levels were significantly increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the cadmium-induced FPN1 mRNA expression was associated with increased levels of FPN1 protein. On the other hand, cadmium-mediated FPN1 mRNA induction in J774 cells was completely blocked when cells were co-treated with a transcription inhibitor, acitomycin D. Also, cadmium directly stimulated the activity of the FPN1-promoter driven luciferase reporter, suggesting that the cadmium up-regulates FPN1 gene expression in a transcription-dependent manner. Finally, cadmium exposure to J774 macrophages increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by ${\sim}2$-fold, compared to untreated controls. When J774 cells were co-treated with antioxidant N-acetylcystein, the cadmium-induced FPN1 mRNA induction was significantly attenuated. In summary, the results of this study clearly demonstrated that cadmium increased FPN1 expression in macrophages through a mechanism that involves ROS production, and suggests another important interaction between iron and cadmium metabolism.

  • The Planar Hall effect in a spin valve structure has been applied as a biosensor being capable of detecting $Dynabeads^{(R)}$ M-280. The sensor performance was tested under the application of a DC magnetic field where the output signals were obtained from a nanovoltmeter. The sensor with the pattern size of $50{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ has produced high sensitivity; especially, the real-time profiles by using that sensor revealed significant performance at external applied magnetic field of around 7.0 Oe with the resolution of 0.04 beads per $\mu m^2$. Finally, a successful array including 24 patterns with the single sensor size of $3{\times}3{\mu}m^2$ has shown the uniform and stable signals for single magnetic bead detection. The comparison of this sensor signal with the others has proved feasibility for biosensor application. This, connecting with the advantages of more stable and high signal to noise of PHR sensor's behaviors, can be used to detect the biomolecules and provide a vehicle for detection and study of other molecular interaction.

  • c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) is involved in apoptosis, cell differentiation and proliferation. It has been reported that a flavonol, quercetin, induces cell apoptosis and JNK inhibition. In order to understand the interactions of quercetin and JNK1, we performed receptor-oriented pharmacophore based in silico screening and determined a binding model of human JNK1 and quercetin at the ATP binding site of JNK1. 5-OH of A-ring and carbonyl oxygen of C-ring of quercetin participated in hydrogen bonding interactions with backbone of E109 and M111. Additionally, 3'-OH of quercetin formed a hydrogen bond with backbone of I32. One hydrophobic interaction is related on the binding of quercetin to JNK1 with I32, N114, and V158. Based on this model, we conducted a docking study with other 8 flavonols to find possible flavonoids inhibitors of JNK1. We proposed that one flavonols, rhamnetin, can be a potent inhibitor of JNK and 5-OH of A-ring and 3'-OH of B-ring of flavonols are the essential features for JNK1 inhibition.

  • Plasma technology has been widely used for decontamination, differentiation, and disease treatment. Recently, studies show that plasma has effects on increasing seed germination and plant growth. In spite of increasing number of studies about plasma effects, the interaction between plasma and plants has been rarely informed. In this study, we have analyzed the effects of nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma on seed germination and growth of coriander (Coriandum sativum), a medicinal plant. We used to Ar, air, and N2 plasma on seed as feeding gases. Plasma was discharged at 0.62 kV, 200 mA, 9.2 W. Seed germination was increased over time when treated with N2 based DBD plasma for exposure times of 30 seconds and 1 minute, everyday. After 7 days, about 80~100% of seeds were germinated in the treatment with N2 based DBD plasma, compared to control (about 40%, only gas treated seeds). In order to elucidate the mechanism of increased germination, we have analyzed characteristics of changes in plant hormones and seed surface structure by SEM.

  • To formulate folate receptor (FR)-specific graphene-based electrochemical electrodes, a folic acid (FA) derivative attached with two pyrene molecules on the glutamate tail of FA was synthesized. The resulting pyrene-functionalized FA (FA-Py) presented the spontaneous noncovalent binding on chemically reduced graphene oxides (rGO) through an ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction. Ultrathin morphology, high water-resistance, and preservation of intact FR-specific pteroates from the rGO/FA-Py assembly allow this assembly to be exploited as robust and FR-specific electrochemical electrode materials. The limits of detecting rGO/FA-Py modified electrodes were found to be as low as 3.07 nM in FR concentrations in cyclic voltammetry analysis.

  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dna2 helicase/endonuclease는 진핵세포 DNA 복제과정의 Okazaki fragment processing에서 RNA primer를 제거하는데 필수적인 역할을 한다. Genome-wide scale의 면역침전 실험결과, 기능이 알려져 있지 않은 단백질인 YHR122W가 Dna2 단백질과 상호작용한다고 예측되었다 (1). 본 연구에서는 이를 확인하기 위하여 YHR122W 유전자를 효모에서 과량발현시킨 결과, $dna2\Delta405N$ 돌연변이의 온도감수성 표현형이 억제되는 유전학적 상호작용을 관찰하였다. YHR122W 단백질이 Dna2 단백질과 직접적인 삼호작용을 하는지 확인하기 위하여 YHR122W를 대장균에서 재조합 단백질로 발현시키고 단백질을 정제하였다. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay를 통한 분석에서 YHR122W 단백질과 Dna2 단백질 사이의 상호작용을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 YHR122W-Dna2 상호작용은 생리적 염도인 150 mM NaCl농도에서 가장 강한 결합을 보였다. 이러한 유전학적 상호작용과 물리적인 상호작용은 YHR122W가 생체내에서 Dna2의 기능과 밀접한 연관이 있을 가능성을 제시하고 있다.
