Mammals have 3 pairs of major salivary glands i.e., the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. Saliva secretion of these glands is modulated by taste perception. Salivary glands are composed mainly of acinar and ductal cells. Primary saliva is secreted by acinar cells and modified during ductal flow. Recently, of the murine 35 bitter taste receptors, Tas2r108 was expressed at highest levels in the submandibular gland by qPCR. Further, Tas2r108-transfected cells respond to a range of bitter compounds, such as denatonium, quinine, colchicine, diphenidol, caffeine and dapson. The objective of the present study was to characterize the expression of Tas2r108 mRNA in acinar and/or ductal cells of the submandibular gland using in situ hybridization (ISH). Male 42-60 days old DBA2 mice were used in the study. Messenger RNAs were extracted from the submandibular gland for generating digoxigenin (DIG) labeled-cRNA probes. These probes were transcribed in anti-sense and sense orientation using T7 RNA polymerase. Dot blot hybridization was performed using DIG labeled-cRNA probes, in order to estimate integrity and optimal diluting concentration of these probes. Subsequently, ISH was performed on murine submandibular gland to detect Tas2r108 mRNA. Dot blot hybridization data demonstrated that Tas2r108 DIG labeled-cRNA anti-sense probes specifically detected Tas2r108 cDNA. ISH results showed that the anti-sense probes labeled acinar and ductal cells in the submandibular gland, whereas no staining was visible in sense controls. Interestingly, the Tas2r108 expression levels were higher in acinar than ductal cells. These results suggested that Tas2r108 might be more associated with primary saliva secretion than with ductal modification of saliva composition.

본 연구는 멸치액젓의 품질개선, 개관적 품질지표의 설정 및 품질의 등급화를 위한 규격기준의 제정에 필요한 기초 자료를 제시하고저 수행되었다. 시판 멸치액젓의 식염함량은 대체로 $21.0{\sim}23.2%$, 평균 22.1%이었고, 총질소량 및 아미노질소량은 각각 $928.0{\sim}1870.9\;mg%$ 및 $338.6{\sim}680.3\;mg%$ 범위로서 재래식 액젓의 2258.1 mg% 및 882.9 mg%에 비해 훨씬 적었다. 시료의 색조는 시판품이 재래식에 비해 L값 및 b값은 다소 낮은 반면, a값 및 ${\Delta}E$값은 높았고, 저장기간이 경과할수록 a값 및 ${\Delta}E$은 증가하여 갈변화가 뚜렷이 진행되었다. 시판액젓의 생균수는 식염무첨가배지에서 최대 $3.0{\times}10^4/ml$, 식염 2.5%첨가배지에서는 $2.2{\times}10^5/ml$까지 검출되었으며, 재래식 액젓의 생균수는 이보다 훨씬 많았다. 시판 액젓의 유리아미노산의 총함량은 $5498.5{\sim}12123.8\;mg%$, 평균 8446.4 mg로서 제조원에 따라 2배 이상의 함량 차이를 보였으며. 재래식 액젓의 총함량은 12787.9 mg%였다. 유리아미노산의 조성에서 Glu 함량은 서로 비슷하였으나, 그외 주요 아미노산인 Ala, Val, Ile, Leu 및 Lys 등은 재래식이 시판품에 비하여 훨씬 많았다. Hypoxanthine의 함량은 시판품에 $86.4{\sim}161.2\;mg%$, 재래식에는 103.7 mg%이 함유되어 있었고, TMAO 및 TMA는 시판품에 각각 $51.6{\sim}99.2\;mg$ 및 $23.2{\sim}42.9\;mg%$, 재래식에는 128.8 mg 및 55.8 mg% 함유되어 있었다. 관능검사 결과 일부 시판품에서 콩간장과 유사한 냄새 및 부패취가 인지되었고, 유통기한이 지난 시판품은 모두 관능적으로 맛과 냄새 면에서 변질의 징조가 나타났다. 재래식 액젓은 저장 2년째까지 품질이 그대로 유지되고 있었으나, 그 이후 관능적으로 급속히 품질이 저하되었다. 이상의 결과에서 시판 멸치액젓은 제조원에 따라 철저한 품질의 관리 및 규격화가 요구되었으며, 제품의 조단백질 함량, 총질소 및 아미노질소량, 산도, 유리아미노산의 함량 및 조성 등이 품질개선 및 품질지표 설정을 위한 자료항목으로 기대되었다.

Body antioxidant status is an important factor for the prevention of many chronic diseases in the elderly. This study was done to investigate antioxidant status and its relationship to immune response by measuring plasma cytokine (IL-2 and IL-6) levels in elderly women. Subjects were 76 elderly women aged over 60 years, visiting Jangwhi Social Welfare Center of Seongbook-Gu in Seoul. Subjects were divided into 3 groups according to age (< 65, 65 - 74, > 75). Dietary intakes were assessed by semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires (SFFQ). Plasma vitamin C level was measured by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine method and plasma levels of vitamin E, A and ${\beta}$-carotene were measured by HPLC. Plasma levels of IL-2 and IL-6 were determined with a solid phase sandwich enzyme linked-immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) using commercial kits. The average intakes of antioxidant vitamins were 96.3mg (137.5% of RDA) for vitamin C and 523.3 ${\mu}$gRE (74.8% of RDA) for vitamin A in elderly women. All of the average plasma levels of antioxidant vitamins were within normal range. However the percentage of the elderly women with deficiency plus marginal values were 7.9% in vitamin C, 9.2% in vitamin A and 7.9% in vitamin E. Plasma levels of IL-2 and IL-6 were 27.1${\pm}$7.1pg/ml and 5.9${\pm}$5.3pg/ml in elderly women. Correlation data showed that plasma IL-2 level was negatively correlated with plasma vitamin C level. In addition, IL-6 level was also negatively correlated with plasma vitamin C, A and E levels, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between erythrocyte thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance(TB-ARS) level and plasma IL-2 or IL-6 levels. In addition, erythrocyte TBARS level showed a significant positive correlation with plasma total antioxidant status (TAS) level and a significant negative correlation with plasma vitamin C level. Overall results might imply that the decreased levels of antioxidant vitamins result in an increase in oxidative stress and thereby increase cytokine production such as IL-2 and IL-6. However further research is required to elucidate these relationships.
