The charge transfer compounds $(TTF)_4FeCl_3{\cdot}CH_3OH,\;(TTF)_4SbCl_4\;and\;(TTF)_5(SbBr_4)_2{\cdot}CH_3COCH_3$ were prepared from reactions of the TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) and metal halides. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic (UV,IR, EPR and XPS) methods, magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity measurements. The d.c electrical conductivities of the pressed pellets are in the order of $10^{-1}-10^{-3} Scm^{-1}$, which lies in the range of semiconductor region at room temperature. It means that the partially ionized TTF has stacked in low-dimensional chain in each compound. Spectroscopic properties also indicate that TTF molecules are partially ionized and charge transfer has occurred from (TTF)n to Fe(III) center in $(TTF)_4FeCl_3{\cdot}CH_3OH$ whereas to the $-SbX_4^-$ entity in $(TTF)_4SbCl_4\;and\;(TTF)_5(SbBr_4)_2{\cdot}CH_3COCH_3$. The EPR g values are consistent with TTF radical formation and EPR linewidths suggest the delocalization of unpaired electrons along TTF stacks. A signal arised from metal (Fe and Sb) ions were not detected in EPR spectra, indicating that metal ion is in the diamagnetic state in each compound. The diamagnetic state was also examined by the magnetic susceptibility measurement. The magnetic properties reveal the significant interaction between the $TTF^+$ radical cations in the stacks. The oxidation state of metal ions was also investigated by XPS spectra.

Transcription termination factor-1 (TTF-I) is an RNA polymerase 1-mediated transcription terminator and consisting of a C-terminal DNA-binding domain, central domain, and N-terminal regulatory domain. This protein binds to a so-called 'Sal box' composed of an 11-base pair motif. The interaction of TTF-I with the 'Sal box' is important for many cellular events, including efficient termination of RNA polymerase-1 activity involved in pre-rRNA synthesis and formation of a chromatin loop. To further understand the role of TTF-I in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-I virus production, we generated various TTF-I mutant forms. Through a series of studies of the over-expression of TTF-I and its derivatives along with co-transfection with either proviral DNA or HIV-I long terminal repeat (LTR)-driven reporter vectors, we determined that wild-type TTF-I downregulates HIV-I LTR activity and virus production, while the TTF-I Myb-like domain alone upregulated virus production, suggesting that wild-type TTF-I inhibits virus production and trans-activation of the LTR sequence; the Myb-like domain of TTF-I increased virus production and trans-activated LTR activity.

The charge transfer compounds of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) with the general formula of (TTF)mMCln, (M=Au, Pt, Ir, Os) were prepared by the direct reaction using excess HAuCl4·3H2O, H2PtCl6·xH2O, H2IrCl6·xH2O and H2OsCl6 respectively. The powdered electrical conductivities (σrt) at room temperature are given as follows; (TTF)3AuCl2, 4.53×10-3; (TTF)3.5AuCl2, 6.37×10-3; (TTF)3PtCl4, 5.51×10-4; (TTF)2IrCl4, 2.40×10-5; (TTF)OsCl4·1/2C2H5OH, 4.46×10-7 Scm-1. Magnetic susceptibility, electronic (UV-Vis.), vibrational (IR) and EPR spectroscopic evidences indicate that there is incomplete charge transfer from the TTF donor to gold, platinum, and iridium respectively, and that there is essentially complete charge transfer to osmium, thereby resulting a relatively low electrical conductivity in osmium compound. The EPR and magnetic susceptibility data reflect that the metals are in diamagnetic Au(Ⅰ), Pt(Ⅱ), Ir(Ⅲ), and Os(Ⅱ) oxidation states, and the odd electrons are extensively delocalized over the TTF lattices in each compound.

In mammals light input resets the central clock of the suprachiasmatic nucleus by inducing secretion of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) from retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). We previously showed that thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), a homeodomain-containing transcription factor, specifically regulates PACAP gene expression in the rat hypothalamus. In the present study we examined the expression of TTF-1 in PACAP-synthesizing retinal cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed that it is abundantly expressed in RGCs of the superior region of the retina, but in only a small subset of RGCs in the inferior region. Double FISH experiments revealed that TTF-1 is exclusively expressed in PACAP-producing RGCs. These results suggest that TTF-1 plays a regulatory role in PACAP-expressing retinal ganglion cells.

연구배경: 폐특이 전사조절 유전자인 Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1)유전자는 폐에 선택적인 유전자의 표현의 조절에 중요한 전사인자로 작용하고 폐의 발생에서 morphogenic protein으로서 작용한다. 그러나 현재까지 이 TTF-1 유전자의 전사인자에 대한 연구는 거의 미미하다. DNase 1 hypersensitive(DH) regions은 활동적인 염색체에 대한 중요한 표식자이며 유전자를 조절하는 많은 DNA sequences와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 방법 : 추정적인 distal regulatory elements를 밝혀 내기 위해서 TTF-1을 표현하는 인간의 폐선암 세포주인 NCI-H441을 사용해 DNase 1 hypersensitive site assay를 이용하였다. 결과 : TTF-1 유전자에는 전사의 시작부위에서 +150, -450, -800, 그리고 -1500 base pair부위에 4곳의 DH sites가 있음을 할 수 있었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 전사 조절부위가 TTF-1 유전자 내에 그리고 5' prime부위에 위치함을 추정할 수 있었다.

Tetrathiafulvalene(TTF) reacts with $PdCl_2,Pd(NO_3)_2$ and $Pd(hfacac)_2$(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) in ethanol to give $(TTF)_{1.5}PdCl_2$ (1a), $(TTF)_3Pd(NO_3)_2$ (1b) and $(TTF)_4Pd(hfacas)_2$ nd (1c), respectively. $PdCl(TCNQ)_{2.5}{\cdot}CH_3OH(2a)$was obtained from the reaction of $PdCl_2$ with LiTCNQ in methanol via the partial replacement of $Cl^-$ in $PdCl_2$ by $TCNQ^-$anion, whereas the total substitution of the labile $NO_3^-$ in $Pd(NO_3)_2$ yielded pd(TCNQ)·$CH_3OH$ (2b). $Pd(hfacac)_2(TCNQ)_2\cdot3CH_3OH$ (2c) was obtained from $Pd(hfacac)_2$ and LiTCNQ in methanol. The prepared compounds were characterized by spectroscopic (IR, UV, XPS) methods and magnetic (EPR, magnetic susceptibility) studies. The powdered electrical conductivities (${\sigma}_{rt}$) of the prepared compounds at room temperature were about~$10^{-7}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$. The effective magnetic moments were lass than the spin-only value of one unpaired electron and no EPR signals from Pd metal ions were observed in any of the compounds, indicating that the Pd ions were diamagnetic and the magnetic moments arose from$(TTF)_n$ or $(TCNQ)_n$ moieties. The experimental evidences revealed that the charge transfer had occurred form $(TTF)_n$ moiety to the central Pd metal ion in 1a, 1b and 1c. Thus the TTF donors were ions in 2a and 2b were diamagnetic Pd(II) oxidation state. In contrast, the Pd metal ion was oxidized to Pd(IV) state in 2c as a result of an addition of $TCNQ^-$anion to $Pd(hfacac)_2$ in methanol. The oxidation states of the Pd metal ions were confirmed using the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Steroid Receptor Coactivator (SRC)는 스테로이드 수용체 전사 활성화 단백질로, 이중에서 SRC-3는 많은 종류의 종양과 관련하여 연구되었다. 그러나 현재 배아에서의 폐의 분화와 폐암 진행과정에서 SRC-3의 기능적 역할에 대한 연구는 제한적이다. 본 연구는 SRC-3가 생쥐 배아의 폐 분화과정에서 기관지와 폐포의 분화에 중요한 역할을 함을 보여준다. 높은 레벨의 SRC-3 유전자 발현이 클라라 세포와 type II 세포에서 배아발달 말기 시기인 E17.5 - E18.5에서 관찰되었으며, 성체 생쥐의 폐에서도 클라라 세포와 type II 세포에서 SRC-3 유전자 발현이 관찰되었다. SRC-3의 폐암에서의 역할을 연구하기 위하여 클라라 세포 특이적 폐암 생쥐 모델을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, SRC-3 잡종 생쥐의 폐와 클라라 세포 특이적 종양 생쥐의 폐에서 TTF-1 유전자와 SRC-3 유전자는 공동 발현되었다. 위 모델에서 TTF-1 유전자 발현은 클라라 세포 유래 종양부위와 다발성 선암 영역에서 선명하게 관찰되었지만, SRC-3 유전자 발현은 다발성 선암 부위에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 이 결과로 SRC-3가 폐암 진행과정 중 침윤성에는 중요한 역할을 수행하지 않음을 확인하였다. SRC-3와 TTF-1의 폐암에서 역할을 클라라 세포 특이적 암 세포주인 mtCC 세포를 사용하여 transient transfection 분석한 결과, TTF-1는 클라라 세포 특이적 단백질인 CCSP 유전자 발현을 현저하게 활성화하였으나, SRC-3는 CCSP 유전자 발현의 활성화에 중요하게 관여하지 않음을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 SRC-3가 폐암 진행에 필수적인 역할을 수행하는 단백질이 아님을 제시한다. 결론적으로, SRC-3는 생쥐 배아와 성체 생쥐에서 기관지와 폐포의 분화에 중요한 역할을 수행하지만, 클라라 세포 유래의 폐암 진행 과정에서는 SRC-3는 중요한 역할을 수행하지 않는다.

A novel tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based main-chain polymer (6TTF-polymer) was successfully synthesized via a condensation polymerization between a newly synthesized dihydroxy TTF derivative and a malonyl chloride, and its chemical structure was characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Molecular weight of the 6TTF-polymer (9,030 g/mol by gel permeation chromatography) was large enough to form the ductile film. The electrochemical and optical properties of the 6TTF-polymer were further estimated by cyclic voltammetry, ultraviolet and photoluminescence spectroscopes. The highest occupied molecular orbital level ($E_{HOMO}$=-4.79 eV) and band-gap energy ($E_g$=1.91 eV) of the 6TTF-polymer suggested that TTF-based polymer could act as a good electron donating material for the optoelectronic applications.
