Human thrombopoietin (hTPO) is a cytokine that plays a central role in megakaryopoiesis by influencing on the development and maturation of megakaryocyte and platelet production. To induce hTPO production in the mammary gland, expression vector was constructed by combining the promoter of bovine beta-casein gene, cDNA of hTPO and neomycine resistance gene for transfection into fibroblasts. Bovine fibroblast cells derived from female ear skin were transfercted with the expression vector using Lipofectamine (Life Technology, NY). Transected cells resistant to G4l8 treatment (600 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) were recovered and colony formation was initiated at 13 days. The colonies with about 1 cm diameter were picked and analysed by PCR. Single transfected cells were individually transferred to enucleated oocytes. After electrofusion, the reconstructed embryos were exposed to calcium ionophore (5uM) for 5 min followed by treatment with 6-DMAP (2.5 mM) for 4h. The nuclear transfer embryos were cultured in CRlaa medium at 38.5C, 5% $CO_2$ for 7 days. Twenty three of 29 (79.3%) colonies were proved to be hTPO transfectants by PCR. The colonies were further passaged and used to produce transgenic embryos using nuclear transfer. Cleavage and developmental rates of reconstructed embryos to the blastocyst stage were 65.1% and 39.4%, respectively Of 22 blastocysts that developed from reconstructed embryos with the transfected cell, 20 embryos (90.9%) were positive for hTPO by using PCR analysis. The results suggest that somatic cell nuclear transfer is efficient for production of transgenic embryos.

형질전환 동물에 있어서 외래 유전자의 조절되지 않은 과다 발현은 생리적인 부작용이나 독성을 나타내게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 외래 유전자 발현 조절 system인 tetracycline-inducible expression system(Tet system)을 도입하였다. 그러나 종래의 Tet system을 이용한 유전자 발현 조절은 system 자체의 구성 요소로 인한 미미한 leaky 현상 때문에 완벽하게 이루어지지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 보다 완벽한 외래 유전자의 발현 조절 system을 구축하기 위하여 rtTA 대신 진일보한 형태의 $rtTA2^SM2$를 도입하고 TRE 부분을 TRE-tight로 대체하였다. 확립된 retrovirus vector system을 이용하여 다양한 표적세포와 형질전환 닭으로부터 혈소판 생산의 일차적인 조절자이며, 조혈간세포의 생존과 증식에 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 human thrombopoietin(hTPO)를 생산하고자 하였다. In vitro 상의 연구에서, CEF 세포에서 발현되는 hTPO가 가장 높은 발현량과 발현 유도율을 나타내었으며, 상업적으로 판매되고 있는 hTPO나 다른 표적세포에서 생산된 hTPO에 비해 생물학적 활성이 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 고농도로 농축한 재조합 retrovirus를 stage X단계의 계란의 배반엽 층에 미세주입하여 대리 난각 방법으로 배양한 결과, 미세주입한 138개의 계란 중 21일 후에 15개의 계란에서 병아리가 부화하였으며, 그 중 8마리가 형질전환 개체로 확인되었다. 이 형질전환 닭은 사료 1 g 당 0.5 mg의 doxycycline을 첨가하여 2주간 식이하였으며, 그 후 혈액을 채취하여 hTPO 농도를 측정한 결과 200ng/mL로 확인되었다. 또한 형질전환 개체 중 수컷의 정자에서 hTPO 유전자의 존재를 확인함으로써 germLine transmission의 가능성을 입증하였다. 이상의 연구 결과는 사람의 cytokine 단백질의 대량생산을 위한 생체반응기로서의 형질전환 닭의 생산 가능성을 제시한 데 의의가 있다.

To determine the effect of ERp57 expression on thrombopoiein (TPO) productivity in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cells, TPO producing rCHO cell line with doxycycline-regulated ERp57 expression \Vas developed. The Erp57 expression level could be regulated by addition of different concentrations of doxycycline to culture medium. The doxycycline concentration of I ${\mu}g/mL$ was high enough to suppress the ERp57 expression. Up to 5 ${\mu}g/mL$ doxycycline concentration used in culture medium, no observable cytotoxic effect of doxycycline was detected during culture. Overexpression of ERp57 、 vas found to increase the specific TPO productivity ($q_{Tpo}$) without growth inhibition, probably due to the chaperone-like activity of ERp57 in CHO cells.

Research has been in progress for more than a decade to production of useful proteins by genetic modification in cattle. However, the levels of protein production in transgenic cattle have been reported very low. To enhance protein production in transgenic animal, we tried homologous recombination to donor cells for production of transgenic clone cattle through nuclear transfer procedure. Thus, we constructed the two targeting vectors of human thrombopoietin (TPO) at bovine $\beta$-casein locus using homologous recombination with 13.6 kb and 9.6 kb homology. In two targeting vectors, positive selection was through the neomycin resistance gene and negative selection was by the diphtheria toxin (DT). Gene targeting was attempted in bovine embryonic fibroblasts (bEF) and bovine ear skin fibroblasts (bESF). To determine the most appropriate concentration of neomycin for bEF and bESF, G4l8 resistance was confirmed by culturing the cells in various concentrations of the drug and both of the cells were optimally selected at $900 \mu g/ml$ of neomycin. The transfected bEF and bESF by the targeting vectors were colonized efficiently at the ratio of DNA to transfection reagent such as $4 \mu g$:2 ${mu}ell$ and $1 \mu g$:$2 \mu l$. Comparing number of healthy clones from passage 4 to passage 8, bESF (17%) persist in culture for much longer than bEF (6%). The two gene-targeted bESF clones of 30 random-integrated clones with 9.6 kb homology length were confirmed, however, nothing was out of 72 random integration clones with 13.6 kb homology length, The DT also worked more efficiently in clones transfected with the vector of 9.6 kb homology length. Our data suggests that the choice of donor cell for long culture period should be considered to obtain targeted cell clone, and the gene-targeting frequency and the DT working efficiency are dependent on the length of target homology.

Inherited platelet disorders (IPDs), which manifest as primary hemostasis defects, often underlie abnormal bleeding and a family history of thrombocytopenia, bone marrow failure, hematologic malignancies, undefined mucocutaneous bleeding disorder, or congenital bony defects. Wide heterogeneity in IPD types with regard to the presence or absence of thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, bone marrow failure, and dysmegakaryopoiesis is observed in patients. The individual processes involved in platelet production and hemostasis are genetically controlled; to date, mutations of more than 50 genes involved in various platelet biogenesis steps have been implicated in IPDs. Representative IPDs resulting from defects in specific pathways, such as thrombopoietin/MPL signaling; transcriptional regulation; granule formation, trafficking, and secretion; proplatelet formation; cytoskeleton regulation; and transmembrane glycoprotein signaling are reviewed, and the underlying gene mutations are discussed based on the National Center for Biotechnology Information database and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man accession number. Further, the status and prevalence of genetically confirmed IPDs in Korea are explored based on searches of the PubMed and KoreaMed databases. IPDs are congenital bleeding disorders that can be dangerous due to unexpected bleeding and require genetic counseling for family members and descendants. Therefore, the pediatrician should be suspicious and aware of IPDs and perform the appropriate tests if the patient has unexpected bleeding. However, all IPDs are extremely rare; thus, the domestic incidences of IPDs are unclear and their diagnosis is difficult. Diagnostic confirmation or differential diagnoses of IPDs are challenging, time-consuming, and expensive, and patients are frequently misdiagnosed. Comprehensive molecular characterization and classification of these disorders should enable accurate and precise diagnosis and facilitate improved patient management.

When 3 recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cell lines, CHO/dhfr-B-22-4, $CS13-1.00^{\ast}$ and $CSl3-0.02^{\ast}$, were cultivated in hyperosmolar media resulting from NaCl addition, their specific foreign protein productivity increased with medium osmolality. Glycine betaine was found to have a strong osmoprotective effect on all 3 rCHO cell lines. Inclusion of 15 mM glycine betaine in hyperosmolar medim enabled rCHO cell lines to grow at 557-573 mOsm/kg where they could not grow in the absence of glycine betaine. However, effect of glycine betaine inclusion in hyperomolar medium on foreign protein production differed among rCHO cell lines. CHO/dhfr-B22-4 cells retained enhanced specific human thrombopoietin (hTPO) productivity in the presence of glycine betaine, and thereby, the maximum hTPO titer obtained at 573 mOsm/kg was increased by 72% over that obtained in the control culture with physiological osmolality (292 mOsm/kg). On the other hand, enhanced specific antibody productivity of $CSl3-1.00^{\ast}$ and $CSl3-0.02^{\ast}$ at elevated osmolality decreased significantly in the presence of glycine betaine at a cost of the recovery of cell growth. As a result, the maximum antibody titer at 557 mOsm/kg was similar to that obtained in the control culture with physiological osmolality. Taken together, efficacy of the simultanous use of hyperosmotic pressure and glycine betaine as a means to improve foreign protein production was variable among different rCHO cell lines.

We have expressed human erythropoietin (EPO) in transgenic mice using a recombinant EPO cDNA combined with a partial TPO construct. The gene was microinjected using standard techniques and five mice were detected as transgenic by PCR and further used as founders. The life span of the transgenic founders was much shorter than that of their normal littermates. Most of the tissues of the transgenic founders contained human EPO transcripts as judged by RT-PCR. Especially high expression levels were seen in the liver and lung. EPO protein levels in serum were examined by ELISA and ranged from 266-414 mIU/ml. The number of red blood cell, white blood cell and hemoglobin in the hEPO transgenic mice was higher than in normal mice. These results indicate that overexpression of hEPO is deleterious and can provoke lung failure and erythrocytosis.

The random insertion of useful gene in genome has been a common method to produce transgenic animals. This method is inefficient for induction of high levels gene expression in transgenic animals. To improve this limit, we tried to develop the system which target the gene at the specific genomic region. Thus, in our experiment, the vector system to target the human thrombopoietin (TPO) gene was developed. Targeting vector including TPO, neo and DT genes was transfrcted into bovine embryonic fibroblasts (bEF) or bovine ear skin fibroblasts (bESF). First of all, we determined concentration of the geneticin (G418) for selection of transfected cell lines. Our results showed that 1200 and 900 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of G418 were the most proper for selection of transfscted bEF and bESF cells. In this study, lipofectamine was used as a transfection reagent. Thus, the proper ratio of DNA:lipofectamine for transfection was also required to elevate targeting efficiency in primary mammalian cells. Our result indicates that the most proper ratios of DNA:lipofectamine were 4:2 and 1:2 in bEF and bESF cells. According to the optimized these conditions, single colonies were picked following transfection and were analyzed by PCR. More than 90% of the single colonies have TPO gene. However, there were no colonies with targeted TPO at the specific genomic region. Therefore, further experiments to select the specifically targeted colonies and to find more efficient methods such as reducing selection time and shortening a size of TPO gene are required.
