Genistein, a inhibitor of the progression of G$_{1}$ and G$_{2}$ phase of the mammalian cell cycle, was discovered through a unique screening system, in which effects of microbial metabolites on the cycle progression of the cultured mouse mammalian carcinoma cell were monitored by flow cytometry. The inhibitor was extracted from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. ZF10 with ethyl acetate, and purified by silica gel column chromatography and HPLC.

동물세포에 미치는 웅담의 영향을 조사하기 위해서 원숭이 kidney cell 유래의 COS-7 cell과 hybridoma cell(murine myeloma cell과 rat의 spleen cell을 융합)을 가지고 이들 세포의 생육과 단백질 발현기작에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. COS-7 cell과 hybridoma cell을 웅담이 첨가된 10% FCS DMEM complete medium에서 78시간 배양한 결과 COS-7 cell에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았으나 myeloma cell과 spleen cell과의 융합세포는 48시간내에 거의 모든 세포가 사멸됐다. 또한 cDNA를 COS-7 cell에 transfection에서 발현되는 단백질양을 조사한바 웅담이 첨가된 배지에서의 단백질 생산량이 첨가되지 않은 배지에서 보다 $30{\sim}40%$ 감소되었다.

The present study revealed that polyphenol induces the hibernation of mammalian cells at the living body temperature. It was found that polyphenol is a cytostatic sleeping agent for mam-malian cells, where almost all cells resume proliferation after the hibernation period and cell death seldom occurs. By changing the concentration for polyphenol, various mammalian cells can be stored under different conditions, such as temporary sleep, and hibernation condi-tions.

Coating of individual cells with organic or inorganic materials has drawn a great deal of attention, because it provides the cells with physicochemical durability, which would contribute to the development of bioreactors, biosensor, and lab-on-a-chip, as well as to the fundamental studies in single cell-based biology. Although many strategies have been developed for coating of microbial cells, limited methods are available to coat mammalian cells because most mammalian cells do not have a robust membrane or exoskeleton. Instead, they are enclosed in a lipid bilayer, which is fluidic and vulnerable to changes in its environments. It is more difficult to treat mammalian cells in vitro than microbial cells because the surfaces of mammalian cells are not protected or reinforced by a tough coat. In this work, we report a cytocompatible and degradable nanocoat for mammalian cells. Three types of mammalian cells (HeLa cells, NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, and Jurkat T cells) were individually coated within metal-polyphenol. To maintain the viability of the mammalian cells, we performed the whole processes under strictly physiological culture conditions, and carefully selected nontoxic materials.

A plasmid vector with combined features of yeast shuttle vector and mammalian expression vector was constructed to facilitate expression of cloned gene in both cell-types. All necessary elements required for plasmid maintenance and selection in E. coli, yeast and mammalian cells were size-economically arranged in this plasmid. The numan cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter and yeast GAL1 promoter were sequentially placed in front of the gene to be expressed. The synthetic splicing donor and acceptor sequences were inserted into the immediate upstream and downstream of the GAL1 promotor, allowing the CMV promotor to direct the expression of a given gene in mammalian cell environment by splicing out the interfering GAL1 promotor sequence. When the resulting vector containing LacZ as a gene was introduced into yeast and mammalian cells, both cells efficiently produced .betha.-galactosidase, dimonstrating its dual host usage.

Large scale mammalian cell culture has become, over the past two decades, the preferred method to produce therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. In this presentation, I will introduce disposable bioreactor system and analyze key factors and points for consideration during mammalian cell culture process development. Example will be provided highlighting the selection of master cell, culture media and environmental factors based on productivity and product quality.

Nek2 is a mammalian protein kinase that is structurally homologous to NIMA, a mitotic regulator in Aspergillus nidulans. To understand cellular processes in which Nek2 participates during mammalian development, we investigated the expression and subcellular localization of Nek2 in vivo. The Nek2 protein was detected in spermatocytes and in a fraction of actively dividing ovarian follicle cells and of embryonic tissues. We also observed that Nek2 was localized in both the nucleus and centrosome in embryonic cells. Such localization pattern supports the proposal that Nek2 is a mitotic regulator that is involved in multiple cell cycle events during mammalian development.

Mammalian mediator (MED) is a multi-protein coactivator that has been identified by several research goups. The involvement of the MED complex subunit 19 (MED 19) in the metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cell line (H1299), which expresses the MED 19 subunit, was here investigated. When MED 19 expression was decreased by RNA interference H1299 cells demonstrated reduced clone formation, arrest in the S phase of the cell cycle, and lowered metastatic capacity. Thus, MED 19 appears to play important roles in the biological behavior of non-small cell lung carcinoma cells. These findings may be important for the development of novel lung carcinoma treatments.

Sophoricoside was isolated as the inhibitor of IL-5 bioactivity from Sophora japonica (Leguminosae). It has been reported to have an anti-inflammatory effect on rat paw edema model. To develop as an anti-allergic drug, genotoxicity of sophoricoside was investigated in bacterial and mammalian cell system such as Ames bacterial test, chromosomal aberration assay, Comet assay and MOLY assay. In Ames test, sophoricoside of 5000 ∼ 313 $\mu\textrm{g}$/plate concentrations was not shown significant mutagenic effect in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 strains. The cytotoxicity (IC$\_$50/ and IC$\_$20/) of sophoricoside was determined above the concentration of 5000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cell and L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line. At concentrations of 5000, 2500 and 1250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, this compound was not induced chromosomal aberration in CHL fibroblast cell in the absence and presence of S-9 metabolic activation system. Also in comet assay, DNA damage was not observed in L5178Y cell line. Also in MOLY assay, sophoricoside of 5000 ∼ 313 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml concentrations was not shown significant mutagenic effect in absence of S-9 metabolic activation system. However, the higher concentration of 5000 and 2500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of sophoricoside induced the increased mutation frequency (MF) in the presence of S-9 metabolic activation system. From these results, no genotoxic effects of sophoricoside observed in bacterial systems whereas, genotoxic effects observed in mammalian cell systems in the presence of metabolic activation system. These results suggested that the metabolite(s) of sophoricoside can cause some genotoxic effects in mammalian cells.

The C-terminal 393 bp region of the human interleukin-16 (IL-16) gene was cloned and expressed in E. coli along with mammalian cell lines. Recombinant IL-16 expressed from E. coli was 22 kDa on SDS-PAGE and showed 260% of chemoattractant activity at a concentration of $0.1\;{\mu}g/ml$. HeLa, COS, and Neuro-2a cells were transduced by recombinant retrovirus vector pLNC/IL-16/IRES/TK and the intracellular and secreted amounts of IL-16 produced by HeLa/IL-16/TK, COS/IL-16/TK, and Neuro-2a/IL-16/TK cells were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). HeLa/IL-16/TK $(1{\times}10^5)$ and COS/IL-16/TK $(1{\times}10^5)$ cells secreted 36.1 and 13.3 ng of IL-16 for 48 h, respectively. Forty-nine ng and 86.4 ng of IL-16 remained in the cell lysates of HeLa/IL-16/TK and COS/IL-16/TK. Intracellular and secreted amounts of IL-16 from Neuro-2a/IL-16/TK $(5{\times}10^5)$ cells during 24 h cultivation were 50 ng and 3.3 ng, respectively. Also, HeLa and COS cells wee stably transfected with mammalian expression vector pCRIII/IL-16. Both culture media and cell lysates prepared from HeLa/IL-16 cells and COS/IL-16 cells showed chemoattractant activity ranging from 190% to 460% as compared to the control experiment. Expression of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV0tk) gene in pLNC/IL-16/ IRES/TK bicistronic retroviral expression vector was verified by performing a genciclovir (GCV) sensitivity assay. Finally, IL-16 repressed Tat-transactivated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 long terminal repeat (HIV-1 LTR) promoter activity.
