Objective: To investigate the effects of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) siRNA on cell proliferation and cell apoptosis of the HeLa cervical carcinoma cell line and the molecular mechanisms involved. Methods: Division was into three groups: A, the untreated group; B, the control siRNA group; and C, the HDAC6 siRNA group. Lipofectamine 2000 was used for siRNA transfection, and Western blot analysis was used to determine the protein levels. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were characterized using a CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Results: HDAC6 protein expression in the HDAC6 siRNA-transfection group was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than in the untreated and control siRNA groups. The CCK-8 kit results demonstrated that the proliferation of HeLa cells was clearly inhibited in the HDAC6 siRNA transfection group (P < 0.05). In addition, flow cytometry revealed that the early apoptotic rate ($26.0%{\pm}0.87%$) was significantly elevated (P < 0.05) as compared with the untreated group ($10.6%{\pm}1.19%$) and control siRNA group ($8.61%{\pm}0.98%$). Furthermore, Western blot analysis indicated that bcl-2 protein expression in the HDAC6 siRNA-transfection group was down-regulated, whereas the expression of p21 and bax was up-regulated. Conclusion: HDAC6 plays an essential role in the occurrence and development of cervical carcinoma, and the down-regulation of HDAC6 expression may be useful molecular therapeutic method.

본 연구는 열장 흐름 분획법을 이용하여 에틸렌-아세트산 비닐 혼성중합체들의 머무름에 미치는 인자들을 조사함으로써 혼성중합체의 물리화학적인 성질 중 열확산계수의 특성과 효율적인 분리에 대해 고찰하였다. 시료로 선택한 8종의 혼성중합체들의 분자량 범위는 110,000 ~ 285,000이고 아세트산 비닐의 함량은 25% ~ 70%인 것을 사용하였으며, 이동상으로는 점도와 열전도도 값이 서로 다른 THF, 톨루엔 및 클로로벤젠을 선택하였다. 혼성중합체의 머무름은 시료의 분자량, 조성 및 이동상의 종류에 따라 변화하였는데 시료의 분자량과 아세트산 비닐의 함량이 증가할수록 머무름이 증가하였다. 실험으로부터 측정된 열확산계수는 1.36∼5.97 $cm^2/(s.K)$로서 시료의 조성 및 이동상의 종류에 따라 변화하였다. 즉 열확산계수는 아세트산 비닐의 조성이 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으며, 조성과 열확산계수의 도시에서 조성이 무게백분율로 표시될 때 1.36∼5.97 $cm^2/(s.K)$로서 시료의 조성 및 이동상의 종류에 따라 변화하였다. 즉 열확산계수는 아세트산비닐의 조성이 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으며, 조성과 열확산계수의 도시에서 조성이 무게백분율로 표시될 때 상관계수가 큰 $(r^2(\geq)0.928)$ 직선성을 나타내었다. 또한 혼성중합체의 조성에 대한 열확산계수의 변화율은 이동상이 THF인 경우에 가장 컸으모로, 조성이 서로 다른 혼성중합체의 분리에 적합한 이동상은 THF라는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과로부터 열장 흐름 분획법이 중합체의 크기가 유사하고 조성이 서로 다른 혼성중합체의 분리에 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 U937 인체 백혈병 세포의 증식에 미치는 PTX-2의 영향을 조사한 결과, PTX-2의 처리에 따라 U937 세포는 처리 농도 및 처리 시간 의존적으로 심한 형태적 변형과 함께 증식이 억제되었다. 이러한 PTX-2 처리에 의한 U937 세포의 증식억제는 apoptosis 유발과 관련이 있었으며, 이를 DAPI staining에 의한 apoptotic body 형성, flow cytometry를 이용한 sub-G1 세포 빈도의 정량적 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. 이러한 PTX-2 처리에 의한 U937 세포의 apoptosis 유발은 Bcl-2 family에 속하는 anti-apoptotic 인자인 Bcl-$X_L$의 발현 감소 및 IAPs family에 속하는 유전자들의 선택적 발현 감소와 연관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들은 인체 암세포에서 PTX-2의 항암작용을 이해하는데 중요한 자료가 될 것이고 나아가 PTX-2을 포함한 그와 유사한 항암제 후보물질들의 연구에 있어서 기초 자료로서 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

A visible photochemistry of maleic to fumaric acid adsorbed on silver nanoparticle surfaces was investigated as probed by SERS using a simple flow method. Photoisomerization of maleic to fumaric acid was consecutively observed in the condition of various flow rates, which varied the exposure time of laser beam. The sequential SERS spectra of maleic acid indicated that the photochemical isomerization and desorption took place simultaneously on silver nanoparticle surfaces as a function of laser fluency and wavelength. For 530.9nm laser line excitation, the rate constant coefficients were obtained with a = 5.9 $sec^{-1}$ mW for isomerization and b = 13.9 $sec^{-1}$ mW for desorption, which $k_1\;=\;aI^n\;and\;k_2\;=\;bI^m$. Both reactions were one photon process (n = 1, m = 1) of a visible light and relatively fast process whose decay time was in the range of milli-second for 50 mW laser power. The rate of photochemical reaction increased on going toward the blue and photodesorption was a dominant process. A simple flow method used in this study was very useful to study a relatively fast photochemical reaction of molecules adsorbed on silver nanoparticle surfaces.

Germinal centers (GCs) are formed in peripheral lymphoid tissues in response to protein antigens. In order to see if immunoglobulin isotype switching takes place in GC B-cells, we isolated GC B-cells (PNA positive cells) from mouse popliteal lymph nodes by a flow cytometer after the staining of lymph node cells with PNA-FITC and anti-B220-PE, and determined the expression of ${\gamma}1$ germline transcript and ${\gamma}1$ mRNA by RT-PCR. ${\gamma}1$ germline transcript and ${\gamma}1$ mRNA were amplified specifically in cDNAs from hybridoma expressing IgG1 or splenocytes stimulated LPS plus IL-4. Germinal center B-cells formed in popliteal lymph nodes of mice immunized with chicken ovalbumin were isolated 7 days after immunization. We sorted GC B-cells five times. Immunoglobulin ${\gamma}1$ germline transcripts were expressed in germinal center B-cells in three out of five sorts whereas two out of five sorts did not express ${\gamma}1$ germline transcripts in GC B-cells. The contents of GC B-cells ranged from 5 to 7% of total lymph node cells in most flow cytometric analyses but those of two sorted cells which did not express ${\gamma}1$ germline transcripts were out of normal range. These results imply that isotype switching of immunoglobulins may take place in GCs.

We examine the wall contact of a $3\;{\mu}m$ tethered DNA chain's free end under shear with a focus on developing schemes for double-tethering in the application of making scaffolds for molecular wires. At this scale our results are found to be highly dependent on small length scale rigidity. Chain-end-wall contact frequency, mean fractional extension deficit upon contact, and standard deviation in extension upon contact are examined for scaling with dimensionless flow strength, Wi. Predictions made using a one dimensional approximation to the Smoluchowski equation for a dumbbell and three dimensional dumbbell simulations produce extension deficit, standard deviation, and frequency scaling exponents of -1/3, -1/3, and 2/3, respectively whereas more fine-grained Kratky-Porod (KP) simulations produce scaling exponents of -0.48, -0.42, and 0.76. The contact frequency scaling of 2/3 is derived from the known results regarding cyclic dynamics Analytical scaling predictions are in agreement with those previously proposed for ${\lambda}-DNA$. [Ladoux and Doyle, 2000, Doyle et al., 2000]. Our results suggest that the differences between the dumbbell and the KP model are associated with the addition of chain discretization and the correct bending potential in the latter. These scaling results will aide future exploration in double tethering of DNA to a surface.

헬리움 흐름에서 글로우 방전을 이원화원으로 사용한 기체 크로마토그라피의 검출기 특성을 연구하였다. 방전전극 사이의 거리가 1 mm 일 때, 400 V/mm 의 전장의 세기 이상에서 10$_6$A 이상의 방전전류가 관찰되었다. 유기물의 검출에는 0.1~0.3 mA의 방전전류가 적당하였다. 순수한 헬리움의 흐름에서는 10 ml/min 이상의 유속에서 방전전류가 거의 일정하였으나, 0~30 ml/min 의 유속에서는 적은양의 유기물의 주입에 의해 방전이 쉽게 사라졌다. 여러 화합물에 따른 방전전류의 감소로부터 글로우 방전 이온화 기체크로마토그라피 검출기의 감도는 그 화합물의 분자량에 크게 영향받음을 알았다.

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a major serine/threonine phosphatase that controls gene expression and cell cycle progression. The active mutant IPP5 ($8-60hIPP5^m$), the latest member of the inhibitory molecules for PP1, has been shown to inhibit the growth of human cervix carcinoma cells (HeLa). In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, the present study assessed overexpression of $8-60hIPP5^m$ in HeLa cells. Flow cytometric and biochemical analyses showed that overexpression of $8-60hIPP5^m$ induced G2/M-phase arrest, which was accompanied by the upregulation of cyclin B1 and phosphorylation of G2/M-phase proteins ATM, p53, $p21^{cip1/waf1}$ and Cdc2, suggesting that $8-60hIPP5^m$ induces G2/M arrest through activation of the ATM/p53/$p21^{cip1/waf1}$/Cdc2/cyclin B1 pathways. We further showed that overexpression of $8-60hIPP5^m$ led to delayed nuclear translocation of cyclin B1. $8-60hIPP5^m$ also could translocate to the nucleus in G2/M phase and interact with $pp1{\alpha}$ and Cdc2 as demonstrated by co-precipitation assay. Taken together, our data demonstrate a novel role for $8-60hIPP5^m$ in regulation of cell cycle in HeLa cells, possibly contributing to the development of new therapeutic strategies for cervix carcinoma.

Objective: Our aim was to investigation the roles of MHC class I chain-related gene A(MICA) and natural killer cell group 2D(NKG2D) in human renal cancer cells. Materials and Methods: The expression of membrane MICA (mMICA) on renal cells and NKG2D on NK cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM); the content of sMICA were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the distribution of mMICA on renal tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry; the interaction between MICA and NKG2D was observed by antibody closed method. Results: Our results showed that the expression of mMICA in renal cancer tissues was significantly higher than in controls, where the soluble MICA was not expressed. Cytotoxic activity of NK cells was significantly reduced after exposure to NKG2D and MICA antibodies (P<0.05), and serum containing sMICA can obviously lower the function of NKG2D (P<0.05). Conclusions: The interaction of mMICA and NKG2D play important roles in mediation of cytotoxicity of NK cells in RCC. On the other hand, sMICA may mediate tumor immune escape through down- regulated NKG2D expression.
