The marine sponge of the genus Petrosia sp. is known to contain unique metabolites such as furanoterpenoids. These furanoterpenoids have been reported to possess various bioactivities. We have shown previously that ircinin-1 induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in SK-MEL-2 human skin cancer cells dose- and time-dependently. In this study. we demonstrated that ircinin-1-induced apoptosis is a accompanied by cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase protein and PLC-${\gamma}$1 degradation and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol.

본 논문에서는 line spectrum pair (LSP)의 의사 켑스트럼 표현을 제안하고 이 의사 켑스트럼에 켑스트럼 lifter를 적용하여 얻은 특징 벡타를 이용하는 음성 인식 시스템의 성능을 평가한다. 의사 켑스트럼 표현은 LSP와 LPC 켑스터럼 사이의 관계로부터 근사적으로 유도된다. 이때 음성 인식 시스템의 성능을 더욱 향상 시키기 위하여 root-power-sums lifter, general exponential lifter (GEL), 그리고 bandpass lifter 등과 같은 켑스터럼 liter가 의사 켑스터럼에 적용된다. 또한 mel 주파수로의 변환도 행해진다. 인식 결험 결과, GEL로 liftering된 mel 주파수 의사 켑스터럼이 가장 좋은 성능을 나타내며, LSP에 비해 5~6dB정도의 신도대잡음비의 개선을 얻을 수 있다.

펜타실 구조와 유사한 제올라이트형 결정성 보로실리케이드를 수증기 쪼임법으로 제조하였다. 실제 여러 종류의 서로 다른 붕소화합물 원료를 사용하여 만든 다양한 조성의 Na2O.SiO2.B2O3.TBA2O 겔을 건조시켜 얻은 무정형 분말을 수열합성 분위기에서 수증기를 쪼임으로써 펜타실 구조를 갖는 보로실리케이트 제올라이트를 합성하였다. 이때 MFI와 MEL 구조가 90:10의 비율을 혼합되어 있는 새로운 중간구조 물질이 얻어 졌다. 본 연구로부터, 젖어 있는 반응성 고체상 물질이 수증기와 높은 pH 분위기에서 결정화가 이루어짐을 확인하였다. X-선 회절법으로 분석한 결과 생성물은 우수한 결정성을 가질뿐만 아니라 독특한 촉매적 성질을 보일것으로 예상되는 구조를 갖는다. 또한 반전중심을 갖는 MFI 구조의 펜타실 층이 규칙적으로 쌓이는 모양을 보이지만 이는 MEL 구조의 거울상 층으로 이루어진 결함에 의해 방해된다. 생성물은 77 K 질소흡착법에 의하면 미세기공 부피가 0.160 cc/g 로서 순수한 MFI 구조 물질이 갖는 0.119 cc/g 보다 더 크며, 비교적 넓은 비표면적(~600 m2/g)을 보인다. 적외선 스펙트럼에서는 900.75 cm-1에서 흡수띠를 보이는데, 이는 붕소가 결정성 실리케이트의 사면체 구조내에 위치함을 뜻한다.

Sphingolipids have been emerged as bioactive lipid modulators that mediate a variety of cell functions. However. the effects of sphingolipids on the cell growth and survival of melanocytes are not yet known. In the present study, we investigated the actions of sphingolipids in Mel-Ab melanocytes. We observed the cytoprotective effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) on UVB-induced cell death. (omitted)

인삼(Panax. ginseng) 열매를 80% MeOH 수용액으로 3회 반복 추출한 뒤, 감압 농축한 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH과 $H_2O$ 층으로 계통 분획을 실시하였다. EtOAc분획에 대하여 $SiO_2$ 및 ODS column chromatography를 반복실시하여 5종의 ginsenoside 화합물을 분리 및 정제하였다. NMR, IR, FAB/MS 데이터를 해석하여, 각각 ginsenoside F1 (1), ginsenoside F2 (2), ginsenpside F3 (3), ginsenoside Ia (4) 및 notoginsenoside Fe (5)로 구조 동정 하였다. 화합물 2-5는 인삼열매에서는 이번에 처음 분리 보고되었다. 분리한 5종의 화합물을 인체 암세포주(HCT-116, SK-OV-3, HeLa, HepG2, SK-MEL-5)에 처리하여 세포독성을 측정하였다. 이 중 화합물 2, 4, 및 5가 인체 암세포주에 대해 세포독성을 저해시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 화합물 2는 SK-MEL-5, HepG2, HeLa세포에서 $IC_{50}$값이 82.8, 86.8, $78.3{\mu}M$로 확인되었다. 화합물 4는 HCT-116, SK-MEL-5, SK-OV-3, HepG2, HeLa 세포에서 $IC_{50}$ 값이 24.5, 25.4, 26.3, 22.0, $24.9{\mu}M$로 확인되었다. 화합물 5는 SK-MEL-5 세포에서 $IC_{50}$ 값이 $81.7{\mu}M$로 확인되었다. 인삼 열매에서 분리한 화합물2, 4, 및 5가 암세포주에 대해 강한 세포독성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였으며, 이 화합물들은 공통적으로 3번 수산기에 glucopyranose를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Fungal exopolysaccharides are important natural products having diverse biological functions. In this study, exopolysaccharides from Fomitopsis castanea mycelia (FEPS) were prepared, and the highest mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity was found. FEPS were prepared from cultivation broth by ethanol precipitation method. The extraction yield and protein concentration of FEPS were 213.1 mg/l and 0.03%, respectively. FEPS inhibited mushroom tyrosinase with the half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 16.5 mg/ml and dose-dependently inhibited cellular tyrosinase activity (63.9% at $50{\mu}g/ml$, and 83.3% at $100{\mu}g/ml$) in the cell-free extract of SK-MEL-5 human melanoma cell and ${\alpha}$-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (${\alpha}-MSH$)-stimulated melanin formation in intact SK-MEL-5 human melanoma cell. The $IC_{50}$ of FEPS against NO production from RAW264.7 macrophage cells was $42.8{\pm}0.64{\mu}g/ml$. By in vivo study using a zebrafish model, exposure of FEPS at $400{\mu}g/ml$ to dechorionated zebrafish embryos for 18 h decreased the pigment density, compared to that without FEPS-treated control.

In the present study, we investigated the actions of sphingosine-I-phosphate (SPP) in Mel-Ab melanocytes. We observed the cytoprotective effect of SPP on UVB-induced cell death. Following exposure of cells to UVB, a significant protective effect was seen in cultures pretreated with SPP. Since SPP is well known as a mitogenic agent, it is possible that the mitogenic effect of SPP may contribute to cell survival. Surprisingly, we found that SPP inhibited DNA-synthesis significantly. We were next interested in the regulation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and Akt pathways by SPP. We clearly observed that SPP potently stimulated the phosphorylation of both ERK and Akt against UVB-induced cell death. Based on these results, we conclude that SPP may show its cytoprotective effect through ERK and Akt activation.

Two new sulfated saponins designated as certonardosides P$_{2}$ and I$_{3}$ (1 and 2) were isolated from the brine shrimp active fraction of the MeOH extract of the starfish Certonardoa semiregularis. The structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 were tested for cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and HCT15), and compound 1 displayed significant cytotoxicity against the SK-MEL-2 skin cancer cell.

Human cytochrome P450 1A2 is one of the major cytochrome P450s in human liver. It is known to be capable of activating a number of carcinogens such as arylamines and heterocyclic amines. In order to develop the new bacterial mutagenicity test system with human P450, a full length of human P450 1A2 cDNA inserted into pCW bacterial expression vector was introduced to Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA strain which is a well-known E. coli strain for bacterial reverse mutagenicity assay. Expressed human P450 1A2 showed typical P450 hemoprotein spectra. Maximum expression was achieved at 48 hrs after incubating at $30^{\circ}C$ in terrific broth containing ampicillin, IPTG and other supplements. High level expression of P450 1A2 in E. coli WP2 uvrA membranes was determined in SDS-PAGE. The well-known mutagens 2-aminoanthracene and MElQ increased the revertant colonies of E. coli WP2 uvrA expressing human P450 1A2 without an exogenous rat hepatic post-mitochondrial supernatant (S9 fraction) in a dose-dependent manner. The results show that the functional expression of human P450 in bacterial mutagenicity tester strain will provide a useful tool for studying the mechanism of the mutagenesis and carcinogenesis of new drugs and environmental chemicals.

The decision directed (DD) approach is widely used to determine a priori SNR from noisy speech signals. In conventional speech enhancement systems with a DD approach, a priori SNR is estimated by using only the magnitude components and consequently follows a posteriori SNR with one frame delay. We propose a phase-dependent two-step a priori SNR estimator based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) in the log-mel spectral domain so that we can consider both magnitude and phase information, and it can overcome the performance degradation caused by one frame delay. From the experimental results, the proposed estimator is shown to improve the output SNR of enhanced speech signals by 2.3 dB compared to the conventional DD approach-based system.
