  • 이 연구의 목적은 발거 된 매복 상악 과잉치에서 얻은 치수유래 줄기세포의 초기 계대와 후기 계대의 상아질모세포 유전자의 특성을 알아보는 것이다. 전신 의과 병력이 없는 6 - 9세 사이의 남녀아이 12명에게서 서면동의를 얻고 모두 상악에 위치한 과잉치를 발거하여 당일 발거된 과잉치의 치수세포를 채취하였다. 12개의 세포를 각각 3계대와 10계대에서 골형성 유도 분화제를 처리한 군과 처리하지 않은 군을 나누어 실시간 중합효소 연쇄반응을 시행하여 상아질모세포의 특성을 알아보았다. 사용된 유전자는 osteonectin (ONT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP-1), 그리고 dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP)였다. 유전자 발현양은, 분화제를 처리하지 않은 군 3계대에서는 ONT, ALP, OCN, DMP-1, DSPP순서로 많이 발현하였다. 분화제를 처리하지 않은 군 10계대에서는 ONT, DMP-1, OCN, ALP, DSPP순으로 ONT, OCN, DSPP의 순서에는 변화가 없지만 ALP, DMP-1의 순서는 서로 바뀌었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, ALP와 DMP-1은 3계대와 10계대 세포의 분화를 위한 중요한 표지자로 사용될 수 있다. 과잉치 치수유래 줄기세포는 상아질모세포의 특성을 가지며, 또한 과잉치가 어린 나이에 발거되고 10계대까지 소요되는 시간이 적게 걸린다는 것을 고려하면, 과잉치는 치아 유래 줄기세포의 공여부로서 훌륭한 활용가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Human umbilical cord blood cells(HUCBC) are rich in mesenchymal progenitor cells, endothelial cell precursors and hematopoietic cells. HUCBC have been used as a source of transplantable stem and progenitor cells. However, little is known about survival and development of HUCBC transplantation in the CNS. Estrogen has a neuroprotective potential against oxidative stress-induced cell death so has an effect on reducing infarct size of ischemic brain. We investigated the potential use of HUCBC as donor cells and tested whether estrogen mediates intravenously infused HUCBC enter and survive in ischemic brain. PKH26 labeled mononuclear fraction of HUCBC were injected into the tail vein of ischemic OVX rat brain with or without $17\beta$-estradiol valerate(EV). Under fluorescence microscopy, labeled cells were observed in the brain section. Significantly more cells were found in the ischemic brain than in the non-ischemic brain. HUCBC transplanted into ischemic brain could migrate and survive. Some of cells have shown neuronal like cells in hippocampus, striatum and cortex tissues. These result suggest that estrogen reduces ischemic damage and increases the migration of human umbilical cord blood cells. This Study was supported by the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation(KOSEF) though the Biohealth Products Research Center(BPRC), Inje University, Korea.

  • Since the birth of Dolly using fully differentiated somatic cells as a nuclear donor, viable clones were generated successfully in many mammalian species. These achievements in animal cloning demonstrate developmental potential of terminally differentiated somatic cells. At the same time, the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique provides the opportunities to study basic and applied biosciences. However, the efficiency generating viable offsprings by SCNT remains extremely low. There are several explanations why cloned embryos cannot fully develop into viable animals and what factors affect developmental potency of reconstructed embryos by the SCNT technique. The most critical and persuasive explanation for inefficiency in SCNT cloning is incomplete genomic reprogramming, such as DNA methylation and histone modification. Numerous studies on genomic reprogramming demonstrated that incorrect DNA methylation and aberrant epigenetic reprogramming are considerably correlated with abnormal development of SCNT cloned embryos even though its mechanism is not fully understood. The SCNT technique is useful in cloning farm animals because pluripotent stem cells are not established in farm animal species. Therapeutic cloning combined with genetic manipulation will help to control various human diseases. Also, the SCNT technique provides a chance to overcome excessive demand for the organs by production of transgenic animals as xenotransplantation resources. Here, we describe the factors affecting the efficiency of generating cloned farm animals by the SCNT technique and discuss future directions of animal cloning by SCNT to improve the cloning efficiency.

  • 목 적 : 본 연구는 HLA가 일치하는 부모로부터 동종조혈모세포이식을 시행받은 소아의 이식 결과를 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1999년 4월부터 2005년 10월까지 성모병원 조혈모세포이식센터에서 급성 백혈병으로 1차 관해 후 HLA가 일치된 부모로부터 조혈모세포이식을 시행받은 환아 7명(급성 림프모구성백혈병 4명, 급성 골수성백혈병 3명)을 대상으로 하였다. 이식 시 중앙연령은 5세(범위, 1-11세; 남아 2명, 여아 5명), 공여자의 중앙연령은 35세(범위, 30-41세; 남자 5명, 여자 2명)이었다. 이식 후 대상 환아의 생착, 급성이식편대숙주병, 만성이식편대숙주병, 이식관련 사망, 재발, 이식관련 합병증과 생존율 등을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 이식부터 마지막 추적관찰까지 중앙기간이 69.5개월(범위, 18.8-96.5개월)이었다. 이식을 받은 7명의 환아들은 모두 생착이 되었고 호중구와 혈소판의 생착은 이식 후 각각 11일(범위, 10-16일)과 26일(범위, 13-39일)이었다. Grade II의 급성 이식편대숙주병은 3명(43%), grade III의 급성 이식편대숙주병은 1명(14%)에서 발생하였다. 광범위 만성이식편대숙주병은 2명(28%), 제한적 만성이식편대숙주병은 1명(14%)에서 발생하였다. 이식 후 재발은 1명(14%)이었고 이식관련 사망은 1명(14%)이었다. 대상 환아의 이식 후 5년 전체 생존율은 $83{\pm}15%$이었다. 결 론 : 소아 급성 백혈병에서 HLA가 일치하는 부모자식간 동종조혈모세포이식의 결과는 HLA가 일치하는 형제간 조혈모세포이식의 결과와 비견할 수 있으며 동종조혈모세포이식이 필요한 환아에서 형제뿐만이 아니라 부모의 HLA를 검사하면 조혈모세포 공여자 선정의 가능성이 높아진다.

  • 목 적 : JMML은 소아에서 발생하는 매우 드문 종류의 백혈병으로서 통상적인 항암화학요법만으로는 완치가 어려워 동종 조혈 모세포 이식을 시행하여야 한다. 아직 국내에서는 본 질환의 조혈 모세포 이식 성적에 대한 보고가 없어 저자들은 단일기관에서 경험한 JMML 환자의 동종 조혈 모세포 이식 성적을 보고하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 8개월에서 39개월 된 11명의 JMML 환자를 대상으로 동종 조혈 모세포 이식을 시행하였다. 조혈 모세포의 공급원으로 비혈연 골수 혹은 제대혈 7례, HLA 일치 형제 공여자 3례, HLA 1 항원 불일치 가족 공여자 1례 등을 이용하였다. 모든 환자들은 이식 전 항암화학요법을 시행 받았고 일부 환자에게는 13-cis-retinoic acid(CRA)를 사용하였다. 결 과 : 총 11례 중 3례만이 이식 전 치료로 혈액학적 및 임상적 완전관해에 도달하였다. 이식 후 1개월째 첫 키메리즘 평가 결과 완전 공여자 키메리즘 5례, 혼합 키메리즘 5례, 자가회복 1례였다. 혼합 키메리즘 상태에서 비장종대가 해소되지 않았던 1례에서 면역억제제의 급속 감량과 함께 CRA를 지속적으로 투여한 결과 완전 공여자 키메리즘으로의 전환과 함께 완전관해가 유도되었다. 자가회복 되었던 1례는 이식 후 조기 재발하였으나 복합 항암화학요법과 CRA의 투여로 이차 완전관해가 유도되었다. 결과적으로 11례 중 6례가 이식 후 정중 추적기간 15.5개월간 무사건 생존 중이다. 사망한 3례는 모두 완전 공여자 키메리즘에 실패하였던 경우들로서 질병의 재발 혹은 진행이 사망의 원인이었다. 결 론 : 본 연구 결과 JMML의 근치에는 동종 조혈 모세포 이식 후 이식편대 백혈병 효과가 중요한 역할을 담당하며 CRA도 긍정적 역할을 가지는 것으로 사료된다. 이식 후에도 완전관해에 도달하지 못하고 혼합 키메리즘 양상을 보이는 경우, 면역 억제제를 조기 감량하는 정책과 함께 CRA를 도입함으로써 완치의 가능성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Fibroblasts of large animals are easy to isolate and to maintain in vitro culture. Thus, these cells are extensively applied to donor cell for somatic cell nuclear transfer, and to substrate cells to generate induced pluripotent stem cells after transfection of requited genes to be essentially required for direct reprogramming. However, limited mitotic activity of fibroblasts to differentiate along a terminal lineage becomes restrictive for their versatile application. Recently, commercial culture medium and systems developed for primary cells are provided by manufactures. In this study, we examined whether one of the systems developed for primary fibroblasts of human are effective on porcine ear skin fibroblasts. To this end, we performed proliferation assay after five days culture in vitro of porcine fibroblasts in medium DMEM, which is generally used for fibroblasts culture, and medium M106 for human dermal fibroblasts, supplemented with various concentrations of FBS and LSGS contained mainly growth factors, respectively. Consequence was that presence of 15% FBS and 0.1 ${\times}$ concentrations of LSGS in DMEM showed most active proliferation of porcine fibroblasts.

  • Recent studies on nuclear transfer and induced pluripotent stem cells have demonstrated that differentiated somatic cells can be returned to the undifferentiated state by reversing their developmental process. These epigenetically reprogrammed somatic cells may again be differentiated into various cell types, and used for cell replacement therapies through autologous transplantation to treat many degenerative diseases. To date, however, reprogramming of somatic cells into undifferentiated cells has been extremely inefficient. Hence, reliable markers to identify the event of reprogramming would assist effective selection of reprogrammed cells. In this study, a transgene construct encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the regulation of human Oct4 promoter was developed as a reporter for the reprogramming of somatic cells. Microinjection of the transgene construct into pronuclei of fertilized mouse eggs resulted in the emission of green fluorescence, suggesting that the undifferentiated cytoplasmic environment provided by fertilized eggs induces the expression of EGFP. Next, the transgene construct was introduced into human embryonic fibroblasts, and the nuclei from these cells were transferred into enucleated porcine oocytes. Along with their in vitro development, nuclear transfer embryos emitted green fluorescence, suggesting the reprogramming of donor nuclei in nuclear transfer embryos. The results of the present study demonstrate that expression of the transgene under the regulation of human Oct4 promoter coincides with epigenetic reprogramming, and may be used as a convenient marker that non-invasively reflects reprogramming of somatic cells.

  • Purpose: The use of cyclosporine and mini-dose methotrexate (MTX) is a common strategy for graftversus- host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic transplants. We investigated whether patients who receive fewer than the planned MTX doses are at increased risk for GVHD. Methods: The study cohort included 103 patients who received allogeneic transplants at the Department of Pediatrics of The Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine, from January 2010 to December 2011. MTX was administered on days 1, 3, 6, and 11 after transplant at a dose of 5 $mg/m^2$ each. Within the cohort, 76 patients (74%) received all 4 doses of MTX [MTX(4) group], while 27 patients (26%) received 0-3 doses [MTX(0-3) group]. Results: Although there was no difference in neutrophil engraftment between the 2 groups, platelet engraftment was significantly faster in the MTX(4) group (median, 15 days), compared to the MTX(0- 3) group (median, 25 days; P =0.034). The incidence of grades II-IV acute GVHD was not different between the MTX(4) and MTX(0-3) groups (P =0.417). In the multivariate study, human leukocyte antigen mismatch was the most significant factor causing grades II-IV acute GVHD (P =0.002), followed by female donor to male recipient transplant (P =0.034). No difference was found between the MTX(4) and MTX (0-3) groups regarding grades III-IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, and disease-free survival. Conclusion: Our results indicate that deviations from the full dose schedule of MTX for GVHD prophylaxis do not lead to increased incidence of either acute or chronic GVHD.

  • 배경: 혈액은행 자동화 검사장비는 혈액은행 검사 결과의 질 향상에 도움이 될 것이다. 최근 자동화 장비 DAYMATE M이 개발되어, 이에 대한 성능을 검증하였다. 방법: 서울성모병원과 인천성모병원에서 수집한 300개의 혈액 검체를 가지고 ABO와 RhD 검사를 실시하였다. 또한, 336개의 검체를 이용해 항체선별검사(AST)를 진행하였고, 골수 이식을 받은 82명의 환자에 대해서도 동일한 검사를 진행하였다. DAYMATE M와 비교하기 위한 수동검사는 DS-SCREEING II (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Switzerland)와 Selectogen (Ortho-Clinical diagnostics Inc., USA)을 사용하였다. 결과: 전체 300개의 혈액 검체는 A형 87개, B형 73개, O형 79개, 그리고 AB형 61개로 이뤄져 있다. DAYMATE M과의 일치율은 혈구형 검사에서는 99.9%, 혈청형 검사에서는 97.0%였다. 혈구형 검사에서 불일치한 검체 1개는 수기법에서는 AB형으로 나왔지만 DAYMATE M에서는 B형으로 나왔고, 혈청형 검사에서 나온 불일치 결과 6개는 모두 A형 검체가 DAYMATE에서 anti-B가 검출되지 않은 경우였다. 336개의 항체선별검사의 일치율은 93.2%였다. 136개의 양성 검체 중 불일치 결과는 6개였다. 골수 이식을 받은 82명의 환자들을 대상으로 한 검사 결과, ABO 검사결과의 일치율은 92.2%였다. 6개의 불일치 결과 중 4개는 DAYMATE M에서만 공여자형으로 판독되었고, 나머지 2개는 수기법에서만 공여자형으로 판독되었다. 결론: 혈액은행 자동화 검사 장비 DAYMATE M은 ABO, RhD 검사, 항체선별검사에서 기존의 수기법과 높은 일치율을 보였고, 조혈모세포이식을 받은 환자를 대상으로 검사할 때에도 좋은 성능을 나타냈다.

  • Autogenous bone grafts have been considered the gold standard for maxillofacial bony defects. However, this procedure could entail a complicated surgical procedure as well as potential donor site morbidity. Possibly the best solution for bone-defect regeneration is a tissue engineering approach, i.e. the use of a combination of a suitable scaffold with osteogenic cells. A major source of osteogenic cells is the bone marrow. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent and have the ability to differentiate into osteoblastic, chondrocytic, and adipocytic lineage cells. However, the isolation of cells from bone marrow has someproblems when used in clinical setting. Bone marrow aspiration is sometimes potentially more invasive and painful procedure and carries of a risk of morbidity and infection. A minimally invasive, easily accessible alternative would be cells derived from periosteum. The periosteum also contains multipotent cells that have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes. In the present study, we evaluated the osteogenic activity and mineralization of cultured human periosteal-derived cells. Periosteal explants were harvested from mandibule during surgical extraction of lower impacted third molar. The periosteal cells were cultured in the osteogenic inductive medium consisting of DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 50g/ml L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, 10 nmol dexamethasone and 10 mM -glycerophosphate for 42 days. Periosteal-derived cells showed positive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining during 42 days of culture period. The formation of ALP stain showed its maximal manifestation at day 14 of culture period, then decreased in intensity during the culture period. ALP mRNA expression increased up to day 14 with a decrease thereafter. Osteocalcin mRNA expression appeared at day 7 in culture, after that its expression continuously increased in a time-dependent manner up to the entire duration of culture. Von Kossa-positive mineralization nodules were first present at day 14 in culture followed by an increased number of positive nodules during the entire duration of the culture period. In conclusion, our study showed that cultured human periosteal-derived cells differentiated into active osteoblastic cells that were involved in synthesis of bone matrix and the subsequent mineralization of the matrix. As the periosteal-derived cells, easily harvested from intraoral procedure such as surgical extraction of impacted third molar, has the excellent potential of osteogenic capacity, tissue-engineered bone using periosteal-derived cells could be the best choice in reconstruction of maxillofacial bony defects.
