The aging process is multifactorial and results from the combined effects of inherited(genetic) and acquired factors including life style, food habits, physical activity, and diseases. That give rise to the various approaches in aging. We are trying to study biological changes with aging, In detail we are focused on gene and protein function accompanied by normal or abnormal aging process, especially our efforts are aimed at revealing the functional relationship of proteins in aging as a final product of gene. We expect that proteomic approach to the study of protein function involved in aging should give us variety of integrated data to understand biological changes of long lived lives, We have applied expression proteomics to rat liver bred in dietary restriction or in at libitum to elucidate the effects of food habit on aging. Expression proteomics shows us protein profile in a selected tissue or cells as a whole and gives us the information about protein expression level, posttranslational modification and degenerative modification of expressed proteins. Comparative analysis of young and old rat liver by two dimensional gels shows that gene expression of several proteins was down regulated in old rats and some protein expression level is increased with aging. Dietary restriction slows down these changes of gene expression and in some proteins there's no difference in protein expression level at same ages in comparison with rats bred in at libitum. About forty protein was identified by peptide mass fingerprint with MALDI-TOF and rest of the protein of interest is in the course of identification, Also we are trying to make mitochondrial and cytosolic proteom reference map. These suborganelle proteom map will gives us the information about low abundance proteins and cellular localization of proteins. Proteomics is a growing methodology to study biological system. High throughput qualitative and qualitative aspect of this approach will gives us large amount of integrated information and speed up our understanding about biological system

With the help of a development and popularization of microarray technology that enable to us to simultaneously investigate the expression pattern of thousands of genes, the toxicogenomics experimenters can interpret the genome-scale interaction between genes exposed in toxicant or toxicant-related environment. The ultimate and primary goal of toxicogenomics identifies functional context among the group of genes that are differentially or similarly coexpressed under the specific toxic substance. On the other side, public reference databases with transcriptom, proteom, and biological pathway information are needed for the analysis of these complex omics data. However, due to the heterogeneous and independent nature of these databases, it is hard to individually analyze a large omics annotations and their pathway information. Fortunately, several web sites of the public database provide information linked to other. Nevertheless it involves not only approriate information but also unnecessary information to users. Therefore, the systematically integrated database that is suitable to a demand of experimenters is needed. For these reasons, we propose SOP (Search of Omics Pathway) database system which is constructed as the integrated biological database converting heterogeneous feature of public databases into combined feature. In addition, SOP offers user-friendly web interfaces which enable users to submit gene queries for biological interpretation of gene lists derived from omics experiments. Outputs of SOP web interface are supported as the omics annotation table and the visualized pathway maps of KEGG PATHWAY database. We believe that SOP will appear as a helpful tool to perform biological interpretation of genes or proteins traced to omics experiments, lead to new discoveries from their pathway analysis, and design new hypothesis for a next toxicogenomics experiments.

The purpose of this investigation was to confirm the effect of Nelumbinis Semen on the recovery of the cardiac muscle activity. We studied the effect of Nelumbinis Semen on the recovery of ischemic SD rat hearts perfused with Nelumbinis Semen, using a model of ex-vivo perfusion (Non-working Langendorff perfusion system) and working heart perfusion system at the same time. To explore the effect of Nelumbinis Semen at the level of proteome, two-dimensional electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF analysis were performed. We found out that the proteins increased after perfusion of Nelumbinis Semen are Mitochondrial aconitase, ATP synthase alpha chain, Lactate dehydrogenase B, Creatine kinase, Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Alpha B-crystallin, Myosin and Heart fatty acid binding protein. Almost, all of them are concerned with ATP production in the cardiac muscle with glucose metabolism.

본 연구는 농업과 어업, 그리고 생태체험과 같은 인간들의 활동으로 인하여 상당히 영향을 받는 갯벌환경 중의 하나인 순천만을 모델장소로 갈대의 환경정화 기능에 있어 근권에 분포하는 미생물의 역할에 대한 기초 자료를 얻고자 수행하였다. 우선, 순천만의 갈대근권 토양을 시료로하고 anthracene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene 등이 첨가된 다환성 방향족 화합물(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; PAH)을 탄소원 및 에너지원으로 하는 농화 배양을 통하여 두 개의 consortium을 획득하였다. 두 consortium으로부터 순수 분리된 우수한 PAH분해능을 갖는 4개의 균주(SCB1, SCB2, SCB6,그리고 SCB7)를 형태 및 생리학적 특성과 16S rRNA유전자서열을 기초로 분석한 결과 각 균주는 $99{\%}$ 이상의 신뢰도로 Burkholderia sp., Aicaligenes sp., Achromobacter sp., and Pseudomonas sp.로 동정되었다. 주목할 만한 점은 Burkholderia sp. SCB1과 Alcaligenes sp. SCB2는 naphthalene이나 phenanthrene보다 훨씬 안정되어 있는 구조의 anthracene이나 pyrene에서 더 빠른 성장률과 기질 분해율을 나타내는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 반면,Achromobacter sp. SCB6와 Pseudomonas sp. SCB7은 pyrene을 제외한 다른 시험기질에 대하여 유사한 성장 및 분해패턴을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 주요한 염습지 식물중의 하나인 갈대의 근권에서 살아가는 이들 PAH 분해 균주들이 PAH와 같은 물질로 오염된 근권 환경의 정화작용에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있음을 제시해 주었다.

비닐하우스는 노지보다 UV-B 선량이 적고 외기와 차단되어 노지와 다른 생육환경 하에서 작물이 생육하게 된다. 본 연구는 UV-B 저선량 상태인 비닐하우스 재배 잎들깨에 UV-B를 처리하여 수량과 생리변화를 검토하고자 수행하였다. UV-B는 형광램프를 이용하여 잎들깨 수관으로부터 150, 120, 90 cm에서 처리하여 각각 노지자연량, 노지자연량+50% 증가량, 노지자연량+100% 증가량을 다른 광의 간섭이 없는 밤 9시부터 2시간씩 30일간 처리하였다. UV-B 처리에 의한 잎들깨 수량은 비닐하우스, 노지 자연량 150% 증가량, 노지자연량, 노지자연량+100% 증가량 처리 순이었다. 7월 20일의 자연 UV-B 선량은 노지 13.6 kJ/일, 비닐하우스 4.9 kJ/일로 비닐하우스의 UV-B 선량은 노지보다 64% 감소되는 것으로 측정되었다. UV-B가 균일하게 처리된 잎들깨의 단백질을 추출하여 2차원전기영동으로 분리하고, 이미지분석하여 발현량을 분석한 결과 UV-B에 의해 33개의 단백질 발현이 변화되었으며 이중 10개가 동정되었다. 동정된 단백질의 기능별로 분류하면 광합성과 관련된 것이 40%, 스트레스 및 스트레스 방어와 관련된 것이 60%였다. UV-B에 의해 발현이 감소한 단백질은 광합성과 관련된 ATP synthase CF1 alpha chain이었고 발현이 증가한 단백질은 DNA recombination and repair protein recF, Heat shock protein 21, Catalase, Galactinol synthase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, Calcium-dependent protein kinase(CDPK)-like 로 주로 스트레스 및 스트레스 방어와 관련된 단백질들로서 UV-B는 잎들깨 세포내 DNA와 광합성기구를 손상시켜 광합성에 저해적으로 작용하여 수량을 감소시킨 것으로 판단되었다.
