  • 벼는 중요한 식량작물이며 지속적으로 벼흰잎마름병균, 도열병균, 잎집무늬마름병균, 바이러스 등 여러 병원균에 의해 수확량이 영향을 받고 있다. 이들 중 Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo)에 의해 유발되는 벼흰잎마름병은 세계 벼 재배지역에 발병하여 막대한 피해를 주고 있어 문제가 되고 있다. 따라서 생물적/비생물적 스트레스 저항성에 관여한다고 알려져 있는 식물 특이 전사인자 중의 하나인 NAC(NAM, ATAF, and CUC) 전사인자를 이용하여 벼의 벼흰잎마름병에 대한 저항성을 증진시키고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 벼에서 NAC 전사인자 중 하나인 OsNAC58 유전자를 분리해 냈으며 아미노산 서열을 바탕으로 분석해 본 결과이 유전자는 5개의 NAC전사인자 group 중에서도 stress와 많은 관련이 있다고 알려진 group III에 속하였다. 또한 세포 내 위치를 확인하기 위해 GFP와 융합한 단백질을 이용해 조사해 본 세포 내에서도 핵에 위치하는 것으로 조사되었다. OsNAC58 유전자의 생물학적 기능 분석을 위해 이 유전자를 과발현시킨 벼 형질전환체를 만들었다. 동진벼를 기준으로 보다 발현이 높은 13개 계통을 선발하였으며, 이들 계통에 벼흰잎마름병균을 접종하여 병저항성을 검정한 결과 동진벼에 비해 벼흰잎마름병에 대한 저항성이 크게 증대함을 보였다. 이것은 벼의 OsNAC58 유전자가 벼흰잎마름병균 침입 시 숙주인 벼 핵 내에서 벼의 병저항성 기작을 조절하여 나타난 결과로 추정된다.

  • Purpose: Nodal downstaging after preoperative therapy for gastric cancer has been shown to impart excellent prognosis, but this has not been validated in a national cohort. The role of neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACR) in nodal downstaging remains unclear when compared with that of neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone (NAC). Furthermore, it is unknown whether the prognostic implications of nodal downstaging differ by preoperative regimen. Materials and Methods: Using the National Cancer Database, overall survival (OS) duration was compared among natural N0 (cN0/ypN0), downstaged N0 (cN+/ypN0), and nodepositive (ypN+) gastric cancer patients treated with NACR or NAC. Factors associated with nodal downstaging were examined in a propensity score-matched cohort of cN+ patients, matched 1:1 by receipt of NACR or NAC. Results: Of 7,426 patients (natural N0 [n=1,858, 25.4%], downstaged N0 [n=1,813, 24.4%], node-positive [n=3,755, 50.4%]), 58.2% received NACR, and 41.9% received NAC. The median OS durations of downstaged N0 (5.1 years) and natural N0 (5.6 years) patients were similar to one another and longer than that of node-positive patients (2.1 years) (P<0.001). In the matched cohort of cN+ patients, more recent diagnosis (2010-2015 vs. 2004-2009) (odds ratio [OR], 2.57; P<0.001) and NACR (OR, 2.02; P<0.001) were independently associated with nodal downstaging. The 5-year OS rate of downstaged N0 patients was significantly lower after NACR (46.4%) than after NAC (57.7%) (P=0.003). Conclusions: Downstaged N0 patients have the same prognosis as natural N0 patients. Nodal downstaging occurred more frequently after NACR; however, the survival benefit of nodal downstaging after NACR may be less than that when such is achieved by NAC.

  • Purpose: PIK3CA mutation is considered to be a possible cause for resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. We investigated the association between PIK3CA mutations and the outcome of NAC in HER2-positive breast cancers. Methods: A total of 100 HER2-positive breast cancer patients who had undergone NAC and surgery between 2004 and 2016 were examined. Mutation status was sequentially assessed in pre-NAC, post-NAC, and recurrent specimens taken from these patients. Results: PIK3CA mutations were identified in the sequential specimens of 17 patients (17.0%). These 17 patients experienced shorter disease-free survival (DFS) than the rest of the patients (58.3 months vs. 119.3 months, p=0.020); however, there was no significant difference in pathologic complete response (pCR) and overall survival (OS) (pCR, 17.6% vs. 33.7%, p=0.191; OS, 84.5 months vs. 118.0 months, p=0.984). While there was no difference in pCR between the wild-type and mutant PIK3CA groups in pre-NAC specimens (25.0% vs. 31.8%, p=0.199), PIK3CA mutations correlated with lower pCR in postNAC specimens (0.0% vs. 24.3%, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed significantly worse DFS in the mutant PIK3CA group than in the wild-type group (hazard ratio, 3.540; 95% confidence interval, 1.001-12.589; p=0.050). Moreover, the DFS curves of the change of PIK3CA mutation status in sequential specimens were significantly different (p=0.016). Conclusion: PIK3CA mutation in HER2-positive breast cancer was correlated with a lower pCR rate and shorter DFS. These results suggest that PIK3CA mutation is a prognostic marker for NAC in HER2-positive breast cancer, especially in post-NAC specimens.

  • 본 연구는 2017년 CNDH 계통을 이용하여 출수기와 수량을 QTL 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 가졌다. 1. 도수분포표에서 QHD, QTPW, QM, QTGW, QY는 정규분포를 이루고 있었다. 2. 출수기 관련 QTLs은 총 1개가 잡혔고, 수량관련 QTLs은 총 9개가 잡혔다. QHD에서는 LOD 2.85가 가장 컸고, QTPW에서는 5.39, QM에서는 3.92, QTGW에서는 4.80, QY에서는 3.7이 가장 컸다. 3. 유전자 분석을 통해, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10번 염색체에서 총58개의 후보유전자를 찾았다. 이 중 수량요소인 QM에서 Rcd1 protein, OsERF3 유전자, QTGW에서 MtN3, Zinc finger protein 유전자, QY에서 OsNAC3 protein 유전자를 발견하였다. 4. 본 연구를 통해 발견된 CNDH 계통 내의 수분함량, 천립중, 수량에 관련된 유전자의 존재여부를 찾아낸다면 조생종, 수중형에 가까운 품종을 개발하는 데 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
