자연적 혹은 인위적 환우 기간의 절식은 산란계에서 심각한 대사성 스트레스가 될 수 있다. 절식 그리고 필수적으로 수반되는 사료 재급여 증후군의 대사성 스트레스는 ATP 생성과 밀접한 $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$과 P 등의 무기염류 불균형을 야기할 수 있다. $Mg^{2+}$은 생체 대상과정에서 필수적인 무기염류이며 스트레스는 생체 $Mg^{2+}$ 요구량을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 $Mg^{2+}$ 결핍을 야기할 수 있기 때문에 산란계에서 환우 기간의 절식에 관련된 혈액내 이온의 이온화 농도 및 결합형을 포함한 총농도의 변동을 관찰하였다. 환우 후에 대사성 스트레스와 관련된 생화학 인자의 변화와 수반하여 혈액내 $Mg^{2+}$과 $K^+$의 감소가 관찰되었다. 따라서 환우 기간의 절식 및 사료 재급여 증후군은 심각한 저마그네슘혈증 및 저칼륨혈증을 야기할 수 있으므로 환우 그리고 재급여 과정에서 $Mg^{2+}$과 $K^+$의 투여가 권장된다.

Phosphate, a favorable phosphorous form for plant, is one of major nutrient elements for growth and development in plants. Plants exhibit various physiological and biochemical responses in reaction to phosphate starvation in order to maintain phosphate homeostasis. Of them, expression of high affinity phosphate transporter gene family and efficient uptake of phosphate via them is a major physiological process for adaption to phosphate deficient environment. Although the various genetic resources of high affinity phosphate transporter are identified recently, little is known about their functions in plant that is prerequisite information before applying to crop plants to generate valuable transgenic plants. We demonstrated that Arabidopsis transgenic plants over-expressing two different high affinity phosphate transporter gens, OsPT1 and OsPT7, derived from rice, exhibit better growth responses compared with wild-type under phosphate starvation condition. Specially, OsPT7 gene has proven to be more effective to generate Arabidopsis transgenic plant tolerant to phosphate deficiency than OsPT1. Furthermore, the expression level of AtPT1 gene that is one of reporter genes specifically induced by phosphate starvation was significantly low compared with wild-type during phosphate starvation. Taken together, these results collectively suggest that over expression of OsPTl and OsPT7 genes derived from monocotyledonous plant function efficiently in the dicotyledonous plant, relieving stress response caused by phosphate starvation and leading to better growth rate.

Yeast cells respond to condition of amino acid starvation by synthesizing GCN4, a typical eukaryotic transcriptional activator, which regulates the expression of many amino acids biosynthetic genes. By introducing point mutations in the DNA binding domain of GCN4, mutants with normal DNA binding activity but defective in transcriptional activity were isolated to identify unknown proteins that could suppress the mutant phenotype under an amino acid depletion condition. As a result, SSB(Stress-Seventy B) subfamily proteins were identified as suppressors of mutant GCN4. SSB proteins were known as a member of yeast hsp70 family that probably aids passage of nascent chain through ribosomes. Among them, the mechanism of suppression by SSB2 on the defective GCN4 mutant strains is under investigation. Gcn4p directly interacts with Ssb2p through the basic DNA binding domain of GCN4. It suggests the possibility that physical interaction might induce the transcriptional activation of Gcn4p.

일부 그람양성세균들은 고온, 저온, 염, 에탄올, 산소와 영양분 고갈과 같은 다양한 스트레스 상태에 노출되면, 일반 스트레스반응(general stress response)에 의해서 일련의 스트레스 단백질군을 발현시켜 외부 스트레스를 극복하고 세균의 생존력을 증가시킨다. 비병원성균인 Bacillus subtilis의 일반 스트레스반응에 관해서는 많은 연구가 이루어져 있으므로 다른 균의 연구모델로 이용이 가능하다. 본 총설에서는 B. subtilis와 병원성균인 Listeria monocytogenes의 일반 스트레스반응의 유사성과 차이점을 B. subtilis를 모델로 하여 비교하였다. 두 균의 일반 스트레스반응은 대체 전사 인자인 ${\sigma}^B$ (alternative transcription factor sigma B)에 의해서 조절되고 신호전달 네트워크 또한 매우 유사하며, ${\sigma}^B$ 의존성 유전자들에 의해 150여 개의 스트레스 단백질들이 발현된다. 그러나 L. monocytogenes는 B. subtilis의 에너지 스트레스 신호 경로를 가지고 있지 않은 점과, 일반 스트레스반응에 의해 병독 유전자들(virulence genes)이 조절되는 것이 가장 큰 차이점이다. 그러므로 L. monocytogenes의 생리 및 병원성 규명을 위해서는 일반 스트레스반응에 관한 이해가 매우 중요하다.

In this study, effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) starvation on the cell growth and fatty acid (FA) production of newly isolated freshwater microalgae were investigated. The microalgae were identified as Chlorella sp. and Parachlorella sp. through 18S rRNA sequencing. Optimal culture temperature and light intensity were investigated using a high-throughput photobioreator, and the result was validated in 0.5 L bubble column photobioreactors using BG-11 without NaNO₃ and/or K₂HPO₄. Under nutrient starvation conditions, total FA contents of the microalgae were significantly changed rather than FA composition. Starvation of both N and P was most effective for increasing FA contents in Parachlorella sp (24.4±0.1%) whereas highest FA contents (42.6±1.8%) was achieved when only P was starved in Chlorella sp. among tested conditions. These results suggest an effective strategy for increasing FA production from microalgae using appropriate nutrient starvation.

Triplicate groups of fed and starved olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (body weight: $119.8{\pm}17.46$ g), were examined over 42 days for physiological changes using hematological, biochemical, and non-specific immune parameters. No significant differences in concentrations of blood hemoglobin and hematocrit and plasma levels of total cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, glucose, and cortisol were detected between fed and starved groups at any sampling time throughout the experiment. In contrast, plasma total protein concentrations were significantly lower in starved fish than in fed fish from day 7 onwards. Moreover, plasma lysozyme concentrations were significantly higher in starved flounder from day 21 onwards. This result confirms that the response of olive flounder to short-term (less than about 1.5 months) starvation consists of a readjustment of metabolism rather than the activation of an alarm-stress response. The present results indicate that starvation does not significantly compromise the health status of fish despite food limitation.

Therapeutic applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are limited due to their early death within the first few days of transplantation. Therefore, to improve the efficacy of cell-based therapies, it is necessary to manipulate MSCs so that they can resist various stresses imposed by the microenvironment. Moreover, the role of superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) in regulating such survival under different stress conditions remain elusive. In this study, we overexpressed SOD3 in MSCs (SOD3-MSCs) and evaluated its effect under serum starvation conditions. Nutritional limitation can decrease the survival rate of transplanted MSCs and thus can reduce their efficacy during therapy. Interestingly, we found that SOD3-MSCs exhibited reduced reactive oxygen species levels and greater survival rates than normal MSCs under serum-deprived conditions. In addition, overexpression of SOD3 attenuated starvation-induced apoptosis with increased autophagy in MSCs. Moreover, we have demonstrated that SOD3 protects MSCs against the negative effects of serum deprivation via modulation of AMP-activated protein kinase/sirtulin 1, extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation, and promoted Forkhead box O3a trafficking to the nucleus. Taken together, these results demonstrate that SOD3 promotes MSCs survival and add further evidence to the concept that SOD3-MSCs may be a potential therapeutic agent with better outcomes than normal MSCs for various diseases involving oxidative stress and compromised MSCs survival during therapy.

본 연구는 매년 C. polykrikoides 적조에 의해 발생하는 양식 어류 폐사의 피해를 최소화하기 위해 적조시기 참돔의 절식과 밀도의 영향을 조사하였다. 해상가두리($11m{\times}11m{\times}5m$)에서 섭식-고밀도(F-HD), 절식-고밀도(S-HD), 절식-저밀도(S-LD) 세 그룹으로 구분하여 5주간의 절식 후 4주간의 먹이공급을 통해 참돔의 생존율, 성장, 성장회복 그리고 혈액학적 변화를 조사한 결과, 생존율은 F-HD에서 85.5%로 가장 낮았고, S-LD는 97.3%로 높은 생존율을 보였다. 5주간의 절식기간 동안 두절식구는 전장, 체중 성장률에서 마이너스 성장을 보여 섭식구와 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 하지만 먹이 재공급 후두 절식구 모두 성장회복을 보였다. 특히 S-LD는 먹이 재공급 기간 동안 빠른 성장회복을 통해 보상성장 경향을 보였으며, 섭식구와 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(P<0.05). ALB, TCHO, TP, TG 혈액분석을 통한 실험구의 영양상태는 절식구에서 섭식구에 비해 유의하게 감소하였지만 먹이 공급 후 실험개시 시 수준으로 빠르게 회복하였다. 스트레스와 생리활성 지표인 Ht, Hb, AST, ALT 그리고 GLU가 적조 노출 후 F-HD에서 동일한 시기에 급격히 상승하여, 적조시기 섭식, 고밀도 사육환경은 양식어류에게 더 민감한 사육환경으로 작용할 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 본 연구의 적조시기 절식과 밀도에 따른 생존율, 성장회복, 혈액성상을 통한 결과를 토대로, 적조 노출에 따른 절식과 밀도 조절이 사육어류 관리방안을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Dysregulation of inflammation induced by noninfectious stress conditions, such as nutrient deprivation, causes tissue damage and intestinal permeability, resulting in the development of inflammatory bowel diseases. We studied the effect of autophagy on cytokine secretion related to intestinal permeability under nutrient deprivation. Autophagy removes NLRP3 inflammasomes via ubiquitin-mediated degradation under starvation. When autophagy was inhibited, starvation-induced NLRP3 inflammasomes and their product, IL-1β, were significantly enhanced. A prolonged nutrient deprivation resulted in an increased epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), leading to intestinal permeability. Under nutrient deprivation, IL-17E/25, which is secreted by IL-1β, demolished the intestinal epithelial barrier. Our results suggest that an upregulation of autophagy maintains the intestinal barrier by suppressing the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and the release of their products, including pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-17E/25, under nutrient deprivation.
