Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known to be involved in airway remodeling and fibrosis of bronchial asthma. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to EMT have yet to be fully clarified. The current study was designed to reveal the potential mechanism of microRNA-21 (miR-21) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) affecting EMT through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE cells) were transfected with miR-21 mimics/inhibitors and PARP-1 plasmid/small interfering RNA (siRNA). A dual luciferase reporter assay and biotin-labeled RNA pull-down experiments were conducted to verify the targeting relationship between miR-21 mimics and PARP-1. The migration ability of 16HBE cells was evaluated by Transwell assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting experiments were applied to determine the expression of Snail, ZEB1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, and PARP-1. The effects of the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 on the migration of 16HBE cells and EMT were investigated. Overexpression of miR-21 mimics induced migration and EMT of 16HBE cells, which was significantly inhibited by overexpression of PARP-1. Our findings showed that PARP-1 was a direct target of miR-21, and that miR-21 targeted PARP-1 to promote migration and EMT of 16HBE cells through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Using LY294002 to block PI3K/AKT signaling pathway resulted in a significant reduction in the migration and EMT of 16HBE cells. These results suggest that miR-21 promotes EMT and migration of HBE cells by targeting PARP-1. Additionally, the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway might be involved in this mechanism, which could indicate its usefulness as a therapeutic target for asthma.

최근 생물방제균으로 주목받고 있는 Enterobacter cloacae의 방제기작이 이 균에 의해 토양내에서 생산된 휘발성 ammonia이며 ammonia의 생산에는urease가 관계한다는 보고를 근거로 하여, 항생물질 생산성 균주로 선발된 우수한 길항균주에 암모니아 생성능, 즉 urease 유전자를 유전적으로 부가함으로써 항진균성 길항물질 생산과 암모니아 생산이 동시에 이루어 질 수 있는 새로운 다기능의 생물방제균을 유전적으로 육종하고자 하였다. 저병해 인삼경작지로부터 식물근부균 Fusarium solani의 생육을 강하게 억제하는 길항세균 한 균주 SH14균주를 분리, 선발하였으며, 분리된 균주를 동정한 결과 Bacillus subtilis이거나 그 근연종으로 추정되었다. 억제기작 실험을 통해 길항균주 B. subtilis SH14에 의해 생산되는 항진균성 길항물질은 외막가수분해효소와 같은 고분자 물질이 아니라 열에 안정한 저분자의 항생물질임을 알 수 있었다. 한편 ammonia 생산을 위한 urease의 유전자는 urease 생산력이 강력한 호알칼리성 Bacillus pasteurii의 urease 생산유전자를 E. coli-Bacillus shuttle vector인 pEB203에 subcloning하였고, 이어서 pGU 366으로 명명된 이 recombinant plasmid를 선발된 항진균성 길항균주 B. subtilis SH14에 PEG-induced protoplast transformation 방법으로 도입, 발현시켰으며, 최적조건을 조사하여 90분간의 lysozyme 처리과정 후 1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 DNA와 40% PEG4000의 첨가로 약 6.5$\times$$10^{-4}$의 형질전환율을 얻을 수 있었다. 아울러 암모니아 생성능이 부가된 생물방제균 B. subtilis SH14(pGU366)에 의해 식물근부균 F. solani에 대한 생육억제력이 증가되는지 여부를 억제거리 측정법과 균체중량법을 통해 확인한 결과 urease 유전자가 도입된 형질전환체 B. subtilis SH14(pGU366)의 근부균 생육억제능이 각각 36.7%, 44.0%정도로 숙주균주인 B. subtilis SH14에 비해 근부균 생육억제능을 보다 강하게 나타내었음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 항진균성 항생물질 생산성 생물방제균 B. subtilis SH14에 외부의 urease유전자를 도입하여 ammonia 생성능을 부가함으로써 생물방제력의 상승효과를 거둘 수 있었다.

Transgenic cabbage (Brassica oleracea ssp. capitata) plants resistant to the commercial herbicide Bast $a^{R}$ were obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens - mediated transformation. Hypocotyl segments of in vitro grown plants were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA 4404 harboring plasmid pMOG6-Bar which contains hpt and bar genes. Explants were cultured on callus induction medium (MS basal medium + 1 mg/L NAA + 2 mg/L BA + 2 mg/L AgN $O_3$+ 100 mg/L carbenicillin + 250 mg/L cefotaxime) supplemented with 15 mg/L hygromycin. Hygromycin resistant calluses were transferred to shoot regeneration medium (MS basal medium + 0.1 mg/L NAA + 2 mg/L BA + 3% sucrose + 2 mg/L AgN $O_3$+ 15 mg/L hygromycin + 250 mg/L cefotaxime + 100 mg/L carbenicillin). In order to induce roots, elongated shoots were placed on the MS medium without plant growth regulators and hygromycin. Southern blot analysis of several putative transgenic plants indicated that one to five intact copies of Apt and bar genes were incorporated into the genome. Expression of bar gene was confirmed by Northern blot analysis and by herbicide resistant phenotype. Seed progeny from self-pollinated transformants expressed the herbicide resistance and showed Mendelian segregation of the introduced gene.e.

The solution of $[Ru(phen)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$ and SDS has high Resonance Light Scattering (RLS) signals due to $[Ru(phen)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$ assemble on the surface of the SDS micelle. Because of the high affinity ($KB\geq10^6\;L\;mol^{-1}$) between $[Ru(phen)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$ and DNA, the adding of DNA in the solution of $[Ru(phen)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$-SDS makes the dissociation of $[Ru(phen)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$-SDS, and results in decreasing of the RLS signals and increasing of the absorbance. Based on this, a novel method is proposed for DNA assay. Under optimum condition, good linear relationship was obtained within the concentration range of 0.018-1.26 $\mu g\;mL^{-1}$, the linear equation is $I_{RLS}$ = 504.8-348.8 c (c: $\mu g\;mL^{-1}$) and the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.9992. The detect limit for calf thymus DNA is 8.6 ng $mL^{-1}$. The proposed method was successful applied to determine the extracted colibacillus plasmid DNA.

Agrobacterium vitis is a causal agent of crown-gall disease on grapevine. In Korea, grapevine variety (GeoBong) have severely been infected by the bacteria since stems of the variety were buried in soil for overwintering. Infection ratio over 70-80％ was observed on 7 years old GeoBong grapevine in Ansung and Cheonan. PCR specific primers for A. vitis strains were designed using nucleotide sequences of vir A gene in Ti-Plasmid, pheA gene in chromosomal DNA and a URP-PCR polymorphic band. Three hundred bacterial strains were isolated from the different 80 galls formed on GeoBong grapevine in Cheonan and Ansung of Korea and were screened to identify A. vitis using the three specific PCR primers for Agrobacterium vitis. Twenty-four bacterial strains that are detected by the primers were further confirmed by pathogenicity and biochemical methods. To investigate the genomic diversity of the bacterial strains, twenty primers of 20 mer referred to universal rice primers (URP) were applied for PCR fingerprinting, Of them, URP2R and URP2F primers could effectively be used to detect polymorphism within the bacterial strains.

Antibiotic resistance is often associated with the production of inner membrane proteins (for example, AcrAB/TolC efflux pump) that are capable to extrude antibiotics, detergents, dyes and organic solvents. In order to evaluate the unknown MarB function of Escherichia coli, especially focused on the function of OmpF porin, several mutants were construted by T4GT7 transduction. MarA plays a major roles in mar (multiple antibiotic resistance) phenotype with AcrAB/TolC efflux pump in E. coli K-12. Futhermore, MarA decreases OmpF porin expression via micF antisense RNA. Expression of acrAB is increased in strains containing mutation in marR, and in those carrying multicopy plasmid expressing marA. MarB protein of E. coli K-12 showed its activity at OmpF porin & TolC protein as target molecule. Some paper reported MarB positively regulates OmpF function. MarA shows mar phenotype, and MarB along with MarA show decreased MIC through OmpF function. By this experiment, MarB could decrease MIC through the OmpF porin & TolC protein as target.

This paper deals with the distribution, reservoir and mode of spread of infection on 6 hatcheries in Taegu, Kyungpook and 5 broiler farms in Kyungpook during the period from June 1991 to June 1992. Isolated Salmonella were examined for serotypes, biotyping of Salmonella(S) typhimurtum, antibiotic susceptibility and some biochemical characteristics. Forty two Salmonella strains were isolated from 42(2.7% of 1,577 caecal samples of chicks, and their serotypes were S typhimurium 10, S typhimurium var Copenhagen 5, S infantis 4, S thompson 3, and untypable 20. The isolation rate of Salmonella varied from 0 to 5.1% in 6 hatcheries and that of Salmonella from 5 broiler farms was 10. 5%. Biotypes of 10 S typhimurium and 5 S typhimurium var Copenhagen strains isolated from chicks of hatcheries and broiler farms were biotype 2(86.6%), 8(6.7%), and 10a(6.7%), and 26i(6.7%) according to Duguid's scheme. Antibiotic susceptibility test of Salmonella isolated were performed by agar dilution method, using 9 antibiotics as follows: ampicillin(Am), chloramphenicol(Cm), gentamicin(Gm), kanamycin(Km), nalidixic acid(Na), rifampicin(Rf), streptomycin(Sm), sulfadimethoxine(Su), and tetracycline(Tc), All the strains were sensitive to RF. But 8 strans(23.8%) were resistant to one or more drugs and the most common resistance patterns of transferred R plasmids were SmSuGm and SmSu. Among 42 isolates, one had transferable citrate utilizing plasmid. S typhimurium and S typhimurium var copenhagen strains were resistant to killing by 90% normal guinea pig serum.
