Gangliosides are a ubiquitous component of the membranes of mammalian cells that have been suggested to play important roles in various cell functions such as cell-cell interaction, adhesion, cell differentiation, growth control and signaling. However, the role that gangliosides play in the immune rejection response in xenotransplantation is not yet clearly understood. In this study, differential expression patterns of gangliosides in HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cells), PK15 (porcine kidney cells), NIH-kd (NIH-mini pig kidney cells, primary cultured) and the cortex, medulla and calyx of the NIH-mini pig kidney were investigated by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). The results revealed that HEK293, PK15 and NIH-kd contained GM3, GM2 and GD3 as major gangliosides. Moreover, GM3, which are the gangliosides of NIH-kd, were expressed at higher levels than HEK293 and PK15. Especially, GT1b were expressed in HEK293 and NIH-kd but not in PK15. Finally, GM1 and GD1a were expressed in NIH-kd, but not in HEK293 or PK15. These results suggest that differential expression patterns of gangliosides from HEK293, PK15 and NIH-kd are related to the immune rejection response in xenotransplantation.

The hepatitis A virus (HAV) induces severe acute liver injury and is adapted to human and monkey cell lines but not other cells. In this study, the HAV was inoculated into porcine kidney (PK-15) cells to determine its infectivity in porcine cells. The growth pattern of the HAV in PK-15 cells was compared with its growth pattern in fetal rhesus kidney (FRhK-4) cells. The growth of HAV was less efficient in PK-15 cells. In conclusion, HAV replication was verified in PK-15 cells for the first time. Further investigations will be needed to identify the HAV-restrictive mechanisms in PK-15 cells.

암세포의 유전적 불안정성은 부적절하게 활성화된 DNA수복경로와 관련되어 있다. 전이성 암은 높은 유전적 불안정성을 나타내는데, 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 전이성 암세포에서의 중요한 DNA수복 단백질의 하나인 DN의존성 단백질 키나아제(DNA-PK)의 발현 변화를 조사하였다. 여러 종류의 전이도가 다른 암세포들을 대상으로 한 실험에서 전이성 암세포들은 각각의 모세포에 비하여 DNA-PK 성분의 조절 소단위인 Ku70/80의 발현 및 Ku의 DNA 결합 활성이 증강되어 있었다. 또한 DNA-PK의 촉매 소단위인 DNA-PKcs의 발현 및 whole DNA-PK복합체의 kinase의 활성도 전이도가 큰 암세포에서 그 모세포보다 증강되어 있음을 알 수 있어, 전이성 암세포의 증강된 DNA수복능은 부적절한 DNA수복을 일으켜 암의 진행 및 전이를 촉진시키는 원인이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다. 한편 암세포의 표피성장인자수용체의 신호전달의 증강은 암의 침윤과 전이에 관련되어 있으며, DNA-PK의 기 기능에도 영향을 줄 수 있는 가능성이 보고 된 바 있는데, 본 연구에서는 표피성장인자수용체의 신호전달과 DNA-PK의 관련성을 명확히 밝히기 위하여 새로 개발된 EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor인 PKI166의 DNA-PK의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. PKI166는 Ku70/80 및 DNA-PKcs의 발현을 억제하였고 이와 관련하여 전이성 및 항암제 다제내성 암세포에서 PKI166에 의하여 항암제에 대한 감수성을 증가시켜 항암제 내성을 나타내는 전이성 암세포 대한 치료법 연구에 DNA-PK가 분자적 표적이 될 수 있음을 밝혔다.

Attempts were to produce porcine leukocyte interferon(PorLeIF) and porcine immune interferon (PorIIF) in the culture of porcine leukocytes. The interferons produced were tested for antiviral activity against vesicular stomatitis virus on poreine-derived PK(15) cells, human-derived FL cells, and Korean native black goat-derived BGK cells. The results were summarized as follws: 1. In the isolation of porcine leukocytes, the mean isolation rate by the buffy coat separation method (28.7%) was higher than that by the hydroxyethyl starch-RBC sedimentation method (9.2%). 2. When NDV(BI)-induced PorLeIFs were assyed on PK(15) cells and FL cells, the mean titers were 129 IU/ml and 72 IU/ml respectively, being 55.8% of the activity in homologous species system expressed in heterologous system. 3. The activities of PHA P-induced PorIIFs were 197 IU/ml on PK (15) cells and no activity on human FL cells. The mean antiviral activity of PorIIF was 1.5 times that of PorLeIF in PK (15) cells. 4. The cytopathic effect of vesicular stomatitis virus was observed in BGK cells derived from Korean native black goat kidney permitting interferon assay on the cells. While the cross-species antiviral activity of reference human ${\alpha},\;{\beta}-interferon$ was observed on the cells, PorLeIF and PorIIF did not show any activity.

About 40 temperature-sensitive mutants have been isolated as a preliminary step to study the spore germination, the cell cycle, and the control of macromolecular synthesis in Aspergillus nidulans. To obtain temperature-sensitive mutants rapidly and effectively, the selective enrichment method using antifungal antibiotic nystatin was developed. Based on the data which had applied to the concentration of auxotrophic mutants by the earlier investigators, the optimal concentration and the time of treatment at the nonpermissive temeprature were determined as 50 to 100 units per ml and 4.5 hr., respectively. Out of 41 ts mutants assigned to the strain symbol PK, thirteen that seemed to be arrested at the earlystage of spore germination were subjected to the further cytological and genetic analysis. Elght of these mutants are able to form germ tube and five not. Staining with acid fuchsin for the 5PK strains shows that one irreversible mutant, PK6 strain able to form germ tube, accumulate mitotic spindle, being arrested in mitosis. Another PK15 and PK23 strain have more than one intact nucleolus without germ tube formation at the restrictive temperature. the temperature-senstive mutation in PK12 strain, the onlystrain which is able occurred in certain gene specific for the germination of spore. All of the ts markers are recessive and complement each other in heterokaryon between two different ts markers at the restrictive temperature.

본 연구에서는 전이성 암세포와 항암제 다제내성 세포에 있어서 항암제 내성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려진 DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) 가 Abl protein-tyrosine kinases저해제인 STl571 내성에도 연관되어 있는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한 STl571 과 topoisomerase I 저해제인 camptothecin (CPT) 의 단독 및 병용처리에 의한 항암 활성을 전이성 암세포와 항암제 다제내성 세포를 대상으로 조사하였다. 세포의 전이도와 내성정도에 따라 STl571 의 감수성이 다르게 나타났다. 이와 함께 ST1571의 처리후 농도에 따라 전이도가 낮은 KMl2, PC3 세포와 항암제 감수성인 CEM, MCF-7 세포에서는 DNA-PK 의 발현이 감소하는 반면, 전이도가 높은 KML4a, PC-MM2 세포와 다제내성 CEM/MDR 및 MCR/MDR 세포에서는 그 발현이 증가되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 DNA-PK 의 발현이 STl571 의 내성에 관여한다는 것을 시사한다. 이와 같은 결과에 근거하여 DNA-PK 의 발현을 감소시키는 CPT를 STl571 내성을 나타내는 암세포에 대하여 STl571 과 병용처리 하였다. 그 결과 DNA-PK의 발현이 감소되고 세포증식이 억제됨으로써 ST1571 의 감수성이 CPT에 의해 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DNA-PK가 STl571 의 내성을 극복하는데 있어서 새로운 표적이 될 수 있으며, STl571 의 치료내성 극복에 CPT 와의 병용처리가 유효함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the limit of previously used six sigma quality process evaluation metrics, $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$, and a solution to overcome this drawback by using a metric based on performance evaluation of Z-factor quality innovation. Case analysis on projects from national six sigma contest from 2011 to 2012 is performed and literature review on new drug development HTS (High Throughput Screening) is used to propose innovative performance evaluation metrics. This research shows that experimental study on six sigma evaluation metric, $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$, have no significance difference between industrial type (Manufacturing, Semi-Public Institute, Public Institute) and CTQ type (Product Technology Type CTQ, Process Technology Type CTQ). Following discovery characterize this quality improvement as fixed target type project. As newly developed moving target type of quality innovation performance metric Z-Factor is used for evaluating experimental study, hypothetical analysis suggests that $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$ share different relationship or even show reciprocal relationship. Constraints of the study are relatively small sample size of only 37 projects from past 2 years and conflict on having interview and communication with six sigma quality practitioner for qualitative experimental study. Both moving target type six sigma innovation project and fixed target type improvement project or quality circle enables efficient ways for a better understanding and quality practitioner use by applying quality innovation performance metric. Downside of fixed target type quality performance evaluation metric, $Z_{st}$ and $P_{pk}$, is presented through experimental study. In contrast, advantage of this study is that high throughput requiring product technology, process technology and quantum leap typed innovation effect is evaluated based on precision and accuracy and Z-Factor that enables relative comparison between enterprises is proposed and implemented.

미생물 자동배양기를 이용한 감염성 물질의 검출은 시험적 오차의 경감은 물론 분리율 향상과 시간 단축을 가능하게 하였다. BacT/ALERT 3D 자동배양기는 미생물성장 시 발생되는 이산화탄소를 비색법으로 검출하는 장비로서 임상시료를 이용한 미생물 배양과 검출에 이용되어왔다. 자동배양기의 효율성을 검증하고 의약품의 무균 시험에 적용가능한지를 평가하기 위하여 6종의 세균을 이용하여 중식 및 검출특성을 분석하였다. 3종의 호기성세균 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus Iuteus, Bacillus subtilis와 Staphylococcus aureus는 1 CFU가 31.44 시간 내에 검출되었고, 혐기성균인 Clostridium sporogenes는 15.96시간에 균의 중식이 감지되었다. 저성장 혐기성세균인 Propionibacterium acnes는 $10^4$ CFU의 균수에서 검출에 129.36시간이 소요되었다. 이 같은 결과는전통적 직접 배양법보다 검출감도에 있어서 $10\sim10^5$배 높고 검출시간을 $2\sim10$10시간 단축한 것으로서 자동배양법이 미생물 증식과 검출에 효율적임을 말해준다. 따라서 본 시험에서 이용한 자동배양법은 임상시료에서의 감염원 진단뿐 아니라 생물의약품의 무균시험에 이용 가능하다고 판단된다.

Modern Hanbok uses newly different color coordination based on traditional color coordination and symbolic meaning. Thus, this study would investigate the aspects of color coordination and symbolic meaning and present the characteristics of Hanbok as the data of corresponding period in the modern times. In order to investigate recent trend of preferred colors and color coordination of Hanbok, this study focused on the period of 2005~2010. When analyzing colors of Jegori(jacket), Wh, Y, B, YG, P and Gy series are shown in order. For trends for color of Chima(skirt), Pk, R, P, Gy and Bk series are shown in order. When you look into the color coordination of skirt and jacket on whole, color coordination of Pk-Wh represents the highest frequency. Color coordinations of Pk-Y, Pk-B, R-Y, R-G and Pk-G are followed in order. Color coordinations of R-YG, Bk-Wh, O-Y, P-Wh, Pk-YG, Gy-Y, R-Wh series and Gy-Wh are followed in order. When looking into characteristics of overall color coordination of Hanbok, it was shown that there were many opportunities to meet a variety of culture and various colors had emerged depending on individual taste and skin color in the modern times within the framework of basic colors of woman's 'Nokeuihongsang'(Green upper garment and red skirt) R-G, Y series, which are traditionally inherited. In addition, unlike existing traditional color coordination of five elements in the past, P, Gy and Bk series of color appeared in the skirt and Jacket. It could be affected by fashionable drama and films at that time and newly attempted colors ahead of fashion were reflected on the magazine. Therefore, it implied that it naturally gave new awareness of colors to the general public and the width of selection of colors became diverse.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sulfinpyrazone on fumonisin $B_1$-induced elevation of free sphingoid bases in LLC-$PK_1$ cells. Fumonis ins are a family of mycotoxins produced by the fungi Fusarium moniliforme which is common contaminant in corn. Fumonisins are also potent inhibiors of sphingosine and sphinganine N-acyltransferases (ceramide synthases), key enzymes in sphingolipid metabolism resulting in the elevation of free sphinganine. The cytosolic concentration of fumonisin B1 was known to be closely proportional to the elevation of free sphinganine in LLC-PK1 cells [Yoo, H.-S., Norred, W.P., Wang, E., Merrill, A.H., Jr., and Riley, R.T. (1992) Toxicol. Appl.Pharmacol. 114. 9-15]. Sulfinpyrazone, an anion transport inhibitor, reduced the elevated level of free sphinganine resulting from fumonisin B1 inhibition of de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. Fumonisin B1 at a concentration of 20${\mu}$M showed approximately 120pmol/$10^6$ cells relative to 3-10pmol/$10^6$ cells in control cultures, and sulfinpyrazone at a concentration of 200${\mu}$M partially reversed the increased level of free sphinganine induced by fumonisin $B_1$ down to normal level after exposure to fumonisin $B_1$ for 8 to 24hr. However, the reduced effect of sulfinpyrazone on the fumonisin $B_1$-induced elevation of intracellular sphinganine was not shown after 24hr. Fumonisin $B_1$ exposure to LLC-PK1 cells for 36 and 48hr showed approximately 74 and 80pmol per $10^6$ cells relative to 82 and 76pmol,respectively, in fumonisin $B_1$ plus sulfinpyrazone-treated cultures. Sulfinpyrazone-induced less elevation of free sphinganine in confluent cells after exposure to fumonisin $B_1$ suggested that either sulfinpyrazone may block the availability of fumonisin $B_1$ to cells or act on the fumonisin $B_1$ interaction with ceramide synthase.
