  • This study was conducted to investigate inhibitory effects of K-casein, GMP and sialic acid addition on the infection of MA-104 cells by 597(Korean native cattle rotavirus) and JBR(Jeju island bovine rotavirus). MA-104 cells on incomplete Ml99 were infected with domestically separated 597 and ma activated by incubating at 37$\^{C}$ for 6 days, and analyzed for the titer of rotavirus. K-casein, GMP and sialic acid added MA-104 culture infected by activated S97 and nan were incubated for Is hours and stained by the AEC stainning method. The number of infected cells were counted on microscope. The titer of S97 and JBR was 2.5$\times$107 and 2.0$\times$106 PFU/ml, respectively. The inhibition level against cell infection by 597 was 97.4% far 2000UH of K-casein and 97.44% for 2000UM of GMP. The inhibition level against cell infection by JBR was 99.52% for 2000$\mu$M of $\kappa$-casein and 99.78% for 2000$\mu$M of GMP. The inhibition level against cell infection by 597 and JBR was 3.85 and 3.63% for 2000$\mu$M of sialic acid, respectively. The high inhibitory effects (over 97%) of K-casein and CMP against infection of U-1(14 cells with 597 and mR indicated great potentials for the use of K-casein and GMP in the treatment of calf or infant caused by rotavirus.

  • The effect of ginsenosides on the adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase of rat brain has been studied. We have found that Rbl, Rc and one unknown ginsenoside (probably Ra) exerted reciprocal effects on adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase. This dual effect of ginsenosides leads us to speculate that some ginsenosides may act as regulatory agents and modulate the activities of these two enzyme systems.

  • Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), which comes from Cordyceps militaris, the Chinese medicinal fungal genus Cordyceps, is used in the treatment of various diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. We recently reported that cordycepin has a novel antiplatelet effect through the down regulation of $[Ca^{2+}]_{i}$ and the elevation of cGMP/cAMP production. In this study, we further investigated the effect of cordycepin on collagen-induced platelet aggregation in the presence of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG)- or cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-inhibitor. PKG inhibitor Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS potentiated the collagen-induced platelet aggregation, but PKA inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS did not. However, both Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS and Rp-8-Br-cAMPS reduced inhibition by cordycepin of collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Moreover, cordycepin inhibited $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ phosphorylation of both 47 kDa- and 20 kDa-protein in the presence of both PKG inhibitor and PKA inhibitor. Taken altogether, these results suggest that the inhibitory effect of cordycepin on collagen-induced platelet aggregation is associated with cGMP/PKG- and cAMP/PKA-pathways, and thus cordycepin may be an efficacious intervention against platelet aggregation-mediated thrombotic disease.

  • We investigated the effects of nitric oxide (NO) donors, S-nitroso-L-cysteine (Cys-NO) and 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1), on the contractile and electrical activity of the circular muscle of guinea pig gastric antrum by using intracellular microelectrode technique. The gastric antral circular muscle showed spontaneous phasic contraction and slow wave of membrane potential. Cys-NO ($0.001{\sim}10{\mu}M$) and SIN-1 ($0.001{\sim}100{\mu}M$) reduced not only the tonic and phasic contraction but also the amplitude of slow wave in a concentration dependent manner. NO donors were more potent to inhibit phasic contraction than to do slow wave. These inhibitory effects of NO donors were mimicked by the membrane permeable guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) analogue, 8-bromo-cyclic GMP (8-br-cGMP, $10{\sim}300{\mu}M$). The inhibitory effects of SIN-1 and Cys-NO were antagonized by the guanylate cyclase inhibitor, 1H[ [1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3,-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, $10{\mu}M$). These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of NO donors on the mechanical and electrical activity is mainly mediated by cGMP pathway.

  • Background: Xylazole (Xyl) is a veterinary anesthetic that is structurally and functionally similar to xylazine. However, the effects of Xyl in vitro remain unknown. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the anesthetic mechanism of Xyl using fetal rat nerve cells treated with Xyl. Methods: Fetal rat nerve cells cultured for seven days were treated with 10, 20, 30, and 40 ㎍/ mL Xyl for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min. Variations of amino acid neurotransmitters (AANTs), Nitric oxide-Cyclic GMP (NO-cGMP) signaling pathway, and ATPase were evaluated. Results: Xyl decreased the levels of cGMP and NO in nerve cells. Furthermore, Xyl affected the AANT content and Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity in nerve cells. These findings suggested that Xyl inhibited the NO-cGMP signaling pathway in nerve cells in vitro. Conclusions: This study provided new evidence that the anesthetic and analgesic effects of Xyl are related to the inhibition of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway.

  • Raft is a distinctive membrane domain enriched in a certain class of lipids, cholesterol, and proteins observed on the plasma membrane. Growing evidence has revealed that such membrane domains play key roles in signal transduction, fertilization, development, transmitter release, and so on. Recently, we have isolated raft-like detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) fraction from bovine photoreceptor rod outer segments. Transducin and its effecter, cGMP-phosphodiesterase, elicited stimulus-dependent translocation between detergent-soluble membrane and DRM. This suggested potential importance of such distinct membrane domains in vertebrate phototransduction. Here, we will discuss physiological meaning of the translocation of major components of cGMP cascade to raft-like membrane in phototransduction. We would like to propose a hypothesis that raft-like membrane domains on the disk membrane are the place where cGMP cascade system could be quenched.

  • Recently, GMP(Glass Molding Press) process is mainly used to produce aspheric glass lenses. Because glass lens is heated at high temperature above Ty (yielding point) for forming glass, the quality of aspheric glass lens is deteriorated by residual stresses which are generated in a aspheric glass lens after forming. Before this study, as a fundamental study to develop forming conditions for progressive GMP process, compression, strain relaxation and thermal conductivity tests were carried out to obtain the visco-rigid plastic, the visco-elastic and thermal properties of K-PBK40 which is newly developed and applied for precision molding glass material, In this study, using the experimental results we obtained, a glass lens forming simulation in progressive GMP process was carried out and we could forecast the shape of deformed glass lenses and residual stresses contribution in the structure of deformed glass lenses after forming.

  • The purpose of present study is to investigate the influence of a spinal gamma-aminobutyric acid B($GABA_B$) receptor on a central regulation of blood pressure(BP) and heart rate(HR), and to define its mechanism in the spinal cord. In urethane-anesthetized, d-tubocurarine-paralyzed and artificially ventilated male Sprague-Dawley rats, intrathecal administration of drugs were carried out using injection cannula(33-gauge stainless steel) through the guide cannula(PE 10) which was inserted intrathecally at lower thoracic level through the puncture of a atlantooccipital membrane. Intrathecal injection of an $GABA_B$ receptor agonist, baclofen(30, 60, 100 nmol) decreased both BP and HR dose-dependently. Pretreatment with 8-bromo-cAMP(50 nmol), a cAMP analog, or glipizide(50 nmol), a ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel blocker, attenuated the depressor and bradycardic effects of baclofen(100 nmol), but not with 8-bromo-cGMP(50 nmol), a cGMP analog. These results suggest that the $GABA_B$ receptor in the spinal cord plays an inhibitory role in central cardiovascular regulation and that this depressor and bradycardic actions are mediated by the decrease of cAMP via the inhibition of adenylate cyclase and the opening of $K^+$ channel.
