Superoxide dismutase (SOD) 고생산세포주로 선발된 토마토(Lycopersicun esculentum) 배양세포를 사용하여 현탁배양에 따른 SOD 활성과 isoenzyme변화를 조사하고 토마토 식물체의 것과 비교하였다. 현탁배양은 세포생중량 2 g을 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 g/L sucrose를 함유한 MS 배지 50 mL과 함께 mL flask에서 $25^{\circ}C$암상태로 배양(100 rpm)하였다. 세포생장은 계대배양후 20일에 최고점에 도달한 후, 급격히 감소하며 배양 후 23일부터 세포가 검게 변하였다. 세포 단위무게당 SOD활성(unit/g dry cell wt)은 배양 후 23일부터 증가하여 28일째에 최고활성(52,400 unit)을 나타낸 후 급격히 감소하였다. 세포 밖으로 분비되는 extracellular SOD활성은 배양 후 25일에 최고치(27,800 unit/so mL medium)를 나타낸 후 감소하였다. Flask 전체의 SOD활성은 배양 후 25일에 최대치(35,700 unit)를 나타내었으며 extracellular SOD 활성이 약 75%을 차지하였다. 토마토 배양세포에는 4개의 SOD isoenzyme이 존재하며, isoenzyme의 패턴변화는 세포생장에 따른 효소활성의 변화와 일치하였다. 토마토 식물체는 배양세포에 없는 CuZnSOD가 존재하며 배양세포와 식물체 조직사이에는 서로 다른 isoenzyme 패턴이 존재함을 알 수 있었다.

The study was designed to observe antioxidant activities of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by determining antioxidant enzyme protein levels [cytochrome P4502 El (CYP2E1), Copper, Zinc-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (CSH-Px), glutathione S-transferase (GST)] by Western blot analysis and the levels of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the liver of chronically ethanol-treated rats. Sixty Sprague Dawley male rats were divided into 3 groups (Control, EtOH, EtOH+CLA). All rats were fed Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet for 4 weeks by pair-feeding against the EtOH group. The liquid diet was supplemented with 1.77g CLA mixture per kg diet in the EtOH+CLA group. Isocaloric maltose dextrin was added in replace of 50g ethanol (36%kcal) for the Control group. Ethanol ingestion significantly increased the levels of CYP2E1 protein and TBARS, but significantly reduced CuZn-SOD protein level and increased GST protein level. There was no significant effect on the level of GSH-Px protein and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in the liver by ethanol. CLA supplementation with ethanol significantly increased the levels of CuZn-SOD, GSH-Px and GST and also significantly attenuated TBARS level, whereas there was no significant effect on the levels of CYP2E1 protein and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol by CLA. Overall, the CLA supplemented to ethanol could significantly increase the levels of CuZn-SOD, GSH-Px and GST proteins and reduce the level of TBARS in the liver of chronically ethanol-treated rats.

Analysis of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence implicated treatment of 40 mM NaCl decreased maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) (Fv/Fm), actual quantum yield of PSII (${\Phi}_{PSII}$), and photochemical quenching (qP) in rice, but increased non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Decreases in Fv/Fm, ${\Phi}_{PSII}$, and qP were significantly alleviated by $30\;{\mu}M$ jasmonic acid (JA), while NPQ increase was enhanced. Transcription levels of antioxidant isoenzyme genes were differentially modulated by NaCl treatment. Expression of cCuZn-SOD2 gene increased, while those of cAPXb, CATb, and CATc genes decreased. JA prevented salt-induced decrease of pCuZn-SOD gene expression, but caused greater decrease in mRNA levels of cAPXa and Chl_tAPX genes. Investigation of vacuolar $Na^+/H^+$ exchanger (NHX2) and 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) gene expressions revealed transcription level of NHX2 gene was increased by JA, regardless of NaCl presence, while that of P5CS gene slightly increased only in co-presence of JA and NaCl. Unlike JA, ${\gamma}$-radiation rarely affected expressions of antioxidant isoenzyme, NHX2, and P5CS genes, except for increase in mRNA level of Chl_tAPX and decrease in that of pCuZn-SOD. These results demonstrate enhanced salt-tolerance in JA-treated rice seedlings may be partly due to high transcription levels of pCuZn-SOD, NHX2, and P5CS genes under salt stress.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme catalyzing the first step for scavenging the reactive oxygen species is important as an early warning indicator to address various biological stresses. For this reason, the monitoring the expressed pattern of SOD gene in fish organs is one of important biomarkers to assess the aquatic pollution caused by many toxic chemicals. Based on the Northern blot hybridization, semi-quantitative and/or realtime RT-PCRs, the alteration of SOD gene transcripts in shark liver was examined during the experimental acute exposures to cadmium. The expression of SOD at mRNA level was up-regulated both by injection (0, 0.5, 1 or 2 mg $CdCl_2/kg$ body weight for 48 hours) and by immersion (0 or $5{\mu}M$ Cd for 0, 1, 4 and 7 days) treatments of cadmium. The transcriptional stimulation of shark SOD gene by cadmium exposure was dependent upon doses and durations: there was a trend toward more increase in higher dose and longer durations of exposure. The hepatic SOD mRNA levels showed also a general agreement with the tissue cadmium concentrations accumulated in immersion exposure. This result may provide useful strategy to develop a fine molecular biomarker at mRNA level for detecting aquatic pollution caused by toxic metals.

본 연구는 한국 재래닭에서 Zn 보충제 급여가 체내 항산화 지표 및 아연운반체 발현에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 기초사료(100 ppm, 대조군)에 산화아연(ZnO) 또는 Zn-methionine(ZnM)을 각각 50 ppm을 첨가하여 모두 3개군으로 설정하여 4주간 사양시험을 실시하였다. 혈중 total protein, albumin, blood urea nitrogen과 같은 질소화합물은 처리군들 간 차이가 없었으나, uric acid는 ZnM군에서 ZnO군보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가되었다. 혈액의 총 항산화능과 지질과산화도에서는 아연의 급여원에 따른 차이는 없었다. 소장에서 항산화 효소 활성도 및 지질과산화도를 조사한 결과, superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPX) 및 지질과산화도는 아연의 보충급여 및 급여원에 따른 차이는 없었으나, glutathione S-transferase (GST) 활성도는 ZnM군에서 대조군에 비해 현저히(P<0.05) 증가되었다. 간 조직에서 SOD와 GPX 활성도 및 지질과산화도는 처리군간 비슷한 수준을 보였으나, GST는 ZnM군에서 대조군에 비해 현저히(P<0.05) 증가하였다. 소장 흡수세포에서 아연 운반단백질 ZnT-1(8.62배 P=0.09) 및 ZnT-5(7.3배, P=0.06) mRNA 발현은 ZnM군에서 증가되는 경향은 보였으나, 통계적 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 간에서 아연운반체 mRNA 발현은 아연급여에 따른 통계적 차이는 없었으나, ZnM군에서 대조군에 비해 MT mRNA 발현이 4.12배 증가되는 경향(P=0.10)을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 기초사료에 Zn-methionine 보충급여(50 ppm)는 재래닭의 소장 및 간 조직에서 GST 활성도를 유의하게 증가시키고, 소장에서 아연운반체 mRNA 발현을 증가시키는 경향을 보여 유기태 아연급여는 체내 산화적 스트레스 방어 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary zinc (Zn) and/or cadmium (Cd) on hepatic microsomal and cytosol enzyme activities. Male Spraque-Dawley rats (110$\pm$10g ) received zinc (0, 30 and 300 ppm/) and Cd-treated groups were administered oral intubation with Cd chloride (5.0mg/kg of body weight 0 at the same time once a week. The effect of Cd on the activity of hepatic cytochromep-450 , xanthine oxidase(X. O) and superoxide dismutase (SOd) was studied in rats. Cd oral intubation resulted in a decrease in cytochrome P-450 content and SOD activity whereas a significant increase in the X.O. activity was observed was observed . Intake of excessive Zn led to an increased activity of microsomal alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) , whereas Zn deficiency group led to a decreased group. The mechanism by which Zn induces the decreasing of Cd toxicity in rats, seems to rely on the protection of the enzyme systems P-450, ADH, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and X.O. in the liver, possibly by forming non-toxic Cd metallothionein. These results indicate that Zn and Cd regulation might occur via inhibitory protein component of the $H_2O$$_2$ -generator system.

This study was conducted to assess dietary intake and nutritional status of zinc and copper in Korean college women. Dietary survey was conducted by 24-hour recall method and fasting serum samples were collected from 111 apparently healthy subjects. Intake levels of zinc and copper were calculated using newly developed database for Zn & Cu of Korea food. Serum levels of Zn, Cu and activities of ALP, EC-SOD were measured from fasting serum sample. Mean daily zinc and copper intakes were 6.72mg/day(56.0% RDA) and 1.11mg/day respectively. Mean values of serum ALP activity, zinc and copper concentration were 43.9U/L, 14.8umol/1, 15.5umol/1and these values were mostly within normal range. EC-SOD activitis of the subjects were low and had no correlation with intake or serum levels of Zn, Cu. In conclusion, these results show that zinc and copper intake of Koran college women are lower than those from other counties but higher than those of adults in rural area of Korea. Their serum levels of Zn, Cu, ALP are relatively normal. These results indicate that marginal deficiency of Zn and Cu may be quite prevalent in these subjects but serum indicators measured may not be sensitive enough to detect such marginal deficiency. Further study in needed to develop a biochemical index sensitive enough to evaluate Zn and Cu status.

Aerobic cells are normally protected from the damage of free radicals by antioxidative on , zymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase, GSH S- transferase and GSH reductase which scavenge free radicals as well as nonenzymatic antioxidants such as ceruloplasmin, albumin and nonprotein-SH including GSH. The effects of each component (ginsenoside $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Rd, Re, $Rb_1$, Rf, $Rh_1$ and $Rh_2$) of red ginseng on the antioxidative enzyme activities were investigated in the liver in order to screen antioxidative components of red ginseng. Ginsenoside $Rb_1$ and Rc showed a tendency to increase GSH peroxidase activity, while ginsenoside Rc significantly decreased Cu,Zn-SOD activity. Especially, ginsenoside $Rh_2$ significantly increased catalase activity. These results suggest that ginsenoside $Rh_2$ is an important active component among total saponins of red ginseng.
