  • Adult periodontitis (AP) is a chronic inflammatory disease whose etiology is not well defined. Some studies suggested that the clinical characteristics of this disease may be in part explained by genetic factors, and some attempts to find genetic markers for this disease were successful. The interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene family as one of genetic factors may influence the expression of adult periodontitis. The aim of present study is to investigate the frequencies of genetic polymorphisms in the IL-1 gene family encoding three genes (IL-1A, IL-1B and IL-1RN) in Korean AP patients and periodontically healthy controls. There were no significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies of these polymorph isms between two groups, respectively. However, -511 polymorphism of IL-1 B gene was significantly associated with mean pocket depth (MPD, mm) value in AP patients (P<0.05). Therefore, our results suggest that -511 polymorphism in the IL-1B gene may be useful as a genetic marker for the severity of AP in Koreans.

  • White and brown strains of Flammulina velutipes were inter-crossed. All $F_1$ showed light-brown fruitbody, suggesting that a gene for the brown fruitbody was incompletely dominant against the white one. And backcross experiment showed that more than two genes were involved in color determination. To isolate a molecular marker linked to fruitbody color, a set of primers was designed from a sequence of clones derived by a bulked segregant analysis. These markers showed a specific band which co-segregated with brown fruitbody forming strains.

  • Molecular co-suppression phenomena are important to consider in transgene experiments. Embryogenic cells were obtained from immature cotyledons and engineered with two different gene constructs (pHV and pHVS) through particle bombardment. Both constructs contain a gene conferring resistance to hygromycin (hpt) as a selective marker and a modified glycinin (11S globulin) gene (V3-1) as a target. sGFP(S65T) as a reporter gene was, however, inserted into the flanking region of the V3-1 gene (pHVS). Fluorescence microscopic screening after the selection of hygromycin, identified clearly the expression of sGFP(S65T) in the transformed soybean embryos bombarded with the pHVS construct. Stable integration of the transgenes was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analysis. Seeds of transgenic plants obtained from the pHV construct frequently lacked an accumulation of endogenous glycinin, which is encoded by homologous genes to the target gene V3-1. Most of the transgenic plants expressing sGFP(S65T) showed highly accumulation of glycinin. The expression of sGFP(S65T) and V3-1 inherits into the next generations. sGFP(S65T) as a reporter gene may be useful to increase the transformation efficiency of transgenic soybean with avoiding gene co-suppression.

  • Background: To investigate the expression of the fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and its clinical significance. Materials and Methods: The level of expressed FHIT mRNA in peripheral blood from 50 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and in 50 peripheral blood samples from healthy volunteers was measured via RT-PCR. Correlation analyses between FHIT gene expression and clinical characteristics (gender, age, white blood count, immunophenotype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and percentage of blast cells) of the patients were performed. Results: The FHIT gene was expressed at $2.49{\pm}7.37$ of ALL patients against $14.4{\pm}17.9$ in the healthy volunteers. The difference in the expression levels between ALL patients and healthy volunteers was statistically significant. The rate of gene expression did not significantly vary with immunophenotype subtypes. Gene expression was also found to be correlated with increase of total leukocyte and decrease in platelets, but not with age, gender, immunophenotyping or percentage of blast cells. Conclusions: FHIT gene expression is low in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and could be a useful marker to monitor minimal residual disease. This gene is also a candidate target for the immunotherapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

  • 다산 등 15개의 통일형 벼 품종을 이용하여 mesotrione을 처리한 후 5일부터 다산 등 13개 품종들은 신엽에서 백화현상이 발생하였으나, 밀양154호와 수원382호는 백화현상이 발생하지 않아 저항성 품종으로 선발되었다. Mesotrione 처리 후 다산 등 13개 품종들의 초장 및 건물중 억제율은 밀양154호와 수원382호보다 더 높았으며 약량에 따른 억제율이 증가하였다. 한아름2호/밀양154호의 $F_2$ 집단을 이용한 유전분석 결과 저항성이 149개체, 감수성이 41개체로 이론적 분리비 3:1($X^2=1.19$, P=0.31)에 적합하여, mesotrione 저항성 관련 유전자는 1개의 우성유전자에 지배되는 것으로 나타났다. BSA방법을 이용하여 mesotrione 저항성 관련 유전자를 탐색한 결과, 2번 염색체의 10.2 Mb에 위치한 SSR marker RM1358과 RM3501을 선발하였다. Fine mapping을 위해 선발된 5개의 저항성 개체 중에서 $F_2-137$은 RM12921부터 RM3501까지 재조환이 일어났고, $F_2-76$은 RM324부터 RM5101까지 재조환이 일어났다. 따라서, mesotrione 저항성 관련 유전자는 RM3501과 RM324 사이인 10.2 Mb~11.4 Mb에 존재하며, RM3501과 RM324의 조환률이 각각 0.53%과 2.65%이므로, RM3501을 mesotrione저항성 유전자 DNA 연관 marker로 선발하였다. 다산 등 20개 통일형 품종 및 mesotrione에 저항성을 나타내는 자포니카 품종인 운광과 감수성인 통일형 한아름의 $BC_2F_2$ 집단을 이용하여 RM3501의 MAS 이용 가능성을 검토한 결과, mesotrione 저항성 선발 marker로 활용은 가능하나, 정확한 선발 maker로 활용하기 위해서는 추가적인 실험이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 작물의 수확량이나 병 저항성을 증가시키는 형질전환 식물체 개발은 세계 식량 부족을 해결하는 좋은 방법이다. 하지만 항생제나 제초제의 사용은 형질전환 작물의 안전에 대해서 일반 사람들의 심각한 우려를 초래한다. 본 연구에서는, 아그로박테리움을 이용한 동시 형질전환 방법을 이용하여 한국의 밀 재배종인 '조경밀'의 유전자인, 고분자 글루테닌 서브유닛[high molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS)] $D{\times}5$가 삽입된 마커프리 형질전환벼를 개발하였다. 각각 $D{\times}5$ 유전자와 하이그로마이신(HPTII) 저항성 유전자만으로 구성된 두 종류의 발현 카셋트(Two expression cassettes)를 독립적으로 아그로박테리움 EHA105에 도입하였고, $D{\times}5$와 HPTII가 도입된 각각의 EHA105 아그로박테리움을 3:1 비율로 혼합하여 벼 캘러스에 접종하였다. 66개의 HPTII 저항성 형질전환체 중에서 벼 게놈에 $D{\times}5$와 HPTII가 모두 삽입된 2개의 형질전환 라인을 획득하였다. $D{\times}5$와 HPTII가 벼 게놈에 도입된 것을 Southern blot을 통해서 다시 확인하였다. 또한, semi-quantitative RT-PCR을 통해 형질전환벼 $T_1$ 세대 종자의 밀 $D{\times}5$ 전사여부를 확인하였고 결국, $D{\times}5$ 유전자만을 가지는 마커프리 형질전환벼를 $T_1$ 세대에서 선발할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 두 종류의 발현 카셋트를 사용한 아그로박테리움 동시 접종 시스템이 마커프리 형질전환벼를 생산하기 위한 효과적인 전략이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • 고분자 글루테닌 서버유닛(high molecular-weight glutenin subunit, HMW-GS)은 밀의 가공적성을 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 우리는 Agrobacterium 동시 형질전환법을 이용하여 한국 밀 품종인 '조경'으로부터 밀 HMW-GS을 암호화하는 Glu-1Bx7 유전자를 가지는 marker-free 형질전환 벼를 생산하였다. Glu-1Bx7 유전자의 종자 특이적 발현을 위하여 밀 Glu-1Bx7 유전자 자체 프로모터를 벡터 내에 삽입하였다. 동시 접종을 위해서 오직 Glu-1Bx7 유전자와 hygromycin phosphotransferase II (HPTII) 저항성 유전자만으로 구성된 두 종류의 발현 카셋트를 독립적으로 Agrobacterium EHA105에 도입하였고, Glu-1Bx7와 HPTII가 도입된 각각의 EHA105 Agrobacterium 을 3:1 비율로 혼합하여 벼 캘러스에 접종하였다. 216개의 HPTII 저항성 형질전환체 중에서 벼 게놈에 Glu-1Bx7과 HPTII가 모두 삽입된 24개의 형질전환 라인을 획득하였다. Glu-1Bx7와 HPTII가 벼 게놈에 도입된 것을 Southern blot을 통해서 다시 확인하였다. 형질전환 벼 $T_1$ 세대의 종자에서 밀 Glu-1Bx7 유전자가 전사와 번역되어 오직 Glu-1Bx7만을 가지는 marker-free 식물체를 $T_1$ 세대에서 성공적으로 선발할 수 있었다.

  • The aim of this study was to determine genotypes of four genetic markers and to investigate their association with milk production traits in Brown Swiss cattle imported to Slovakia. The bovine $\kappa$-casein, $\beta$-lactoglobulin, growth hormone and prolactin genotypes of 107 cows were identified by polymerase chain reaction. Effects all four genetic markers on milk, fat, protein and lactose yields and fat, protein and lactose percentage were estimated from a data set of 249 lactations. The frequency of desirable B allele of $\kappa$-casein gene to milk production was 0.46, alleles A of $\beta$-lactoglobulin gene was 0.55, allele and L of growth hormone gene was 0.45 and allele A and B of bovine prolactin gene were 0.61 and 0.39. The results of milk production obtained in our work showed that BB genotypes of $\kappa$-CN gene, AA genotypes of $\beta$-LG gene, LL genotypes of bGH gene were significantly associated with better milk production traits, mainly about the fat content. Association of a bovine prolactin genotypes with milk production were not found.

  • Testis-specific protein (TSPY) is a Y-specific gene, with up to 200 copy numbers in bulls. In order to make bovine embryo sexing under farm condition more feasible, the possibility of using a non-electrophoretic method to detect the TSPY gene for sexing bovine early embryos was examined. Primers were designed to amplify a portion of the TSPY gene and a common gene as an internal control primer. PCR optimization was carried out using a DNA template from bovine whole blood. Furthermore, embryo samples were diagnosed by this method and the sexing results were contrasted with those of the Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) method. The results showed that TSPY was as reliable a sexing method as LAMP. Forty-three morula and blastocyst embryos collected from superovulated donor dairy cattle were sexed by this method, and twenty-one embryos judged to be female embryos were transferred non-surgically to recipients 6 to 8 days after natural estrus. Out of 21 recipients, 9 were pregnant (42.86%) and all delivered female calves. The results showed that the sex predicted by this protocol was 100% accurate. In conclusion, the TSPY gene was a good male specific marker and indicated that a non-electrophoretic method was feasible and accurate to detect the TSPY gene for sexing preimplantation bovine embryos.
