Interspecific hybrids between tiger grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus and giant grouper E. lanceolatus were genetically identified based on the partial sequence analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COX I) gene and nuclear recombination activating gene 2 (RAG 2) gene. Out of 585 base positions of RAG 2, a total of five nucleotide substitutions were detected between the two parental species (E. fuscoguttatus and E. lanceolatus). The hybrids had two distinct types of RAG 2 sequences corresponding to those of both parental species. Mitochondrial COX I gene sequencing showed that hybrids had sequences identical to E. fuscoguttatus. Molecular data clearly demonstrate that hybridization does occur between E. fuscoguttatus and E. lanceolatus, but with E. fuscoguttatus as the maternal parent.

Fish larvae are immediately exposed to microbes from hatching to maturation of their lymphoid organs, therefore effective innate mechanisms is very important for survival. However, the knowledge of the development of immune system in fish is limited and in demand now. In vertebrates, recombination-activating gene 1 (RAG-1) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) have been considered as very useful markers of the physiological maturity of the immune system. In this study, the expression of the both genes was assessed throughout the early developmental stages of olive flounder larvae (5-55 dph) and used as markers to follow the development of immune system. RAG-1 and IgM mRNA expression was detectable at 5 dph and remained so until 55 dph. These patterns of expression may suggest that the olive flounder start to develop its function around 5 dph. Tissue distribution was found that both genes mRNAs are only expressed in the immune-related organ such as spleen, kidney and gill. The early detection of IgM mRNA led to the investigation of its presence in oocytes. Both RAG-1 and IgM mRNA transcripts were detected in unfertilized oocytes, suggesting that they are maternally transferred. The biological significance of such a phenomenon remains to be investigated.

낙동강 상류 지류인 황지천에서 쉬리(Coreoleuciscus splendidus)와 참쉬리(C. aeruginosa)의 종 간 자연잡종 개체를 채집하였다. 쉬리와 참쉬리의 종 간 잡종 개체는 외부형태 비교와 함께 핵 DNA의 RAG1 유전자(1,334 bp)와 미토콘드리아 DNA인 CO1 유전자(1,551 bp)를 이용한 염기서열 분석을 실시하였다. 외부형태 분석결과 잡종 개체는 등지느러미, 꼬리지느러미 및 뒷지느러미 3곳에서 지느러미 반문의 형태가 쉬리와 참쉬리의 중간 형태를 나타내었다. RAG1과 CO1 유전자를 이용한 분자계통 분석결과 황치천에 분포하는 쉬리속 어류는 쉬리, 참쉬리 두 종과 두 종 간의 잡종 개체군으로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였으며, CO1 유전자의 염기서열 분석결과 순종인 정교배체와 잡종인 상반교배체가 잘 구분되었다. 또한 RAG1 유전자 분석결과 13개의 염기서열 변이를 확인하였고, 잡종 개체는 9개의 염기서열에서 double peaks가 확인되었다. 유전학적 분석과 외부형태 변이 분석에 의해 쉬리와 참쉬리 사이에 잡종화가 발생한 것을 확인하였으나 잡종 F2세대와 잡종 F1 세대의 생식적 격리 여부는 확인하지 못하였다.

To classify a presumed hybrid of imported grouper species acquired from the National Fishery Products Quality Management Service, maternal and paternal lines were identified based on partial sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (co1) and nuclear recombination activation gene 1 (rag1) genes. The matrilineal species was identified as Epinephleus moara by a partial (760 bp) co1 sequence. Ambiguous sequences with base pairs belonging to E. moara or E. lanceolatus were found in a total of 15 different base pairs in the partial 1,159 bp of the rag1 gene, and the patrilineal species was found to be E. lanceolatus. Therefore, all of the groupers examined in the study were identified to be hybrids of E. moara and E. lanceolatus. In addition, a fast and convenient method using random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was established for hybrid discrimination. Hybrids between E. moara ♀ and E. lanceolatus ♂ were identified through specific bands of 387 bp and 433 bp in PRIMER 6.

묵납자루 Acheilognathus signifer와 납자루 A. lanceolatus간 잡종으로 추정되는 개체를 한강 수계의 김화남대천에서 채집하였다. 잡종의 기원을 확인하기 위하여 형태적 특징과 미토콘드리아 cytochrome b gene (cyt b)와 recombination-activating gene 1 (RAG-1)를 분석하였다. 외부 형태를 분석한 결과 잡종 개체는 등지느러미와 뒷지느러미 반문, 뒷지느러미 색깔, 몸의 체색 등은 두 부모종의 중간적 형질을 보였다. 미토콘드리아 cyt b 분석 결과 잡종 개체는 묵납자루와 염기서열이 99.9% 일치하여 묵납자루가 모계임이 밝혀졌다. 또한 RAG-1 분석 결과 double peak가 나타났는데 이는 잡종 개체임을 강력하게 시사하였다.

Early life stage mortality in fish is one of the problems faced by loach aquaculture. However, our understanding of immune system in early life stage fish is still incomplete, and the information available is restricted to a few fish species. In the present work, we investigated the expression of immune-related transcripts in loach during early development. In fishes, recombination-activating gene 1 (RAG-1) and sacsin (SACS) have been considered as immunological function. In this study, the expression of the both genes was assessed throughout the early developmental stages of loach using real-time PCR method. maRAG-1 mRNA was first detected in 0 dph, observed the increased mostly until 40 dph. Significant expression of maRAG-1 was detected in 0 to 40 dph. These patterns of expression may suggest that the loach start to develop its function after hatching. On the other hand, maSACS was detected in unfertilized oocyte to molura stages and 0 to 40 dph. maSACS mRNA transcripts were detected in unfertilized oocytes, suggesting that they are maternally transferred.

본 연구는 C57BL/6 마우스에서 Allium cepa (red) 생물전환 추출물과 Angelica gigas Nakai 추출물이 혼합된 새로운 물질의 모발 성장 촉진 효과를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 적양파의 에탄올 추출물을 Bacillus subtilis KJ-3(BS3) 균주의 사용을 통해 생물전환하였고 이것을 Red-BCQ라고 명명하였다. Red-BCQ의 퀘르세틴 함량은 생물전환 후 약 7.4배 증가 되었다. 참당귀 추출물(Agnex)에는 decursin (D), decursinol angelate (DA) 등 쿠마린이 다량 함유되어 있다. Agnex 1 mg 중에는 D 0.4146 mg, DA 0.3659 mg이 포함되어 있었다. 미녹시딜(minoxidil)은 모발 성장을 촉진하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Red-BCQ, Agnex 및 이들 혼합물의 모발 성장 촉진효과를 5% 미녹시딜과 비교하였다. 25마리의 마우스는 생리식염수(CON), 5% 미녹시딜(PCON), Red-BCQ (RA), Agnex (AG), 이들 혼합물 (RAG) 처리군 등 5개의 실험군으로 나누었다. 시료는 하루에 한 번 4주 동안 정해진 시간에 경구로 투여되었다. 모발 증식은 7, 14, 21, 28일에 사진으로 관찰하였다. 또한 5α-reductase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1, 항산화효소활성, 피부조직의 모낭도 관찰했다. 모든 결과에서 혼합물 투여 그룹은 다른 그룹보다 항산화 효과와 모발 성장 촉진 효과가 더 컸다. 이러한 데이터는 RAG가 C57BL/6 종의 모발 성장에 대해 강력한 자극활동을 가지고 있음을 시사한다.

Aging is a senescence and defined as a normal physiologic and structural alterations in almost all organ systems with age. As Leonard Hayflick, one of the first gerontologists to propose a theory of biologic aging, indicated that a theory of aging or longevity satisfies the changes of above conditions to be universal, progressive, intrinsic and deleterious. Although a number of theories have been proposed, it is now clear that cell aging (cell senescence) is multifactorial. No single mechanism can account for the many varied manifestations of biological aging. Many theories have been proposed in attempt to understand and explain the process of aging. Aging is effected in individual by genetic factors, diet, social conditions, and the occurrence of age-related diseases as diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. It involves an endogenous molecular program of cellular senescence as well as continuous exposure throughout life to adverse exogenous influences, leading to progressive infringement on the cell's survivability so called wear and tear. So we could say the basic mechanism of aging depends on the irreversible and universal processes at cellular and molecular level. The immediate cause of these changes is probably an interference in the function of cell's macromolecules-DNA, RNA, and cell proteins-and in the flow of information between these macromolecules. The crucial questions, unanswered at present, concerns what causes these changes in truth. Common theories of aging are able to classify as followings for the easy comprehension. 1. Biological, 1) molecular theories - a. error theory, b. programmed aging theory, c. somatic mutation theory, d. transcription theory, e. run-out-of program theory, 2) cellular theories - a. wear and tear theory, b. cross-link theory, c. clinker theory, d. free radical theory, e. waste product theory, 3) system level theory-a. immunologic/autoimmune theory, 4) others - a. telomere theory, b. rate of living theory, c. stress theory, etc. Prevention of aging is theoretically depending on the cause or theory of aging. However no single theory is available and no definite method of delaying the aging process is possible by this moment. The most popular action is anti-oxidant therapy using vitamin E and C, melatonin and DHEA, etc. Another proposal for the reverse of life-span is TCP-17 and IL-16 administration from the mouse bone marrow B cell line study for the immunoglobulin VDJ rearrangement with RAG-1 and RAG-2. Recently conclusional suggestion for the extending of maximum life-span thought to be the calory restriction.
