A 32-year-old female patient and her sister show high levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in regular health checkups, since female patient was 11 years old. The patient's serum total cholesterol was 285 mg/dL and HDL cholesterol was 113 mg/dL. Her sister's total cholesterol was 240 mg/dL and the HDL cholesterol measured to be 90 mg/dL. Lipoprotein pattern and cholesteryl ester transfer activity gene analysis were examined in these patients. We found c.1321+1G>A (IVS14+1G/A) hetero mutation in cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) genes. Generally, CETP mediates transfer and exchange of triglycerides and cholesteryl ester between plasma lipoproteins. Also we investigated a key role of HDL-CE and Apo A-1 metabolism. Patients with low levels of CETP have increased serum HDL levels. We hereby report two Korean cases of CETP deficiency in a family. Brief literature review ensues with the cases.

Cholesteryl Isopropyl Carbonate(C31O3H52)의 결정구조를 X-선 회절법으로 연구하였다. 결정의 공간군은 P212121이고, 단위세포 길이는 a=6.266(4), b=10.836(5), c=47.364(20)Å, Z=4, Dc=0.98 g/cm3 이고, Dm=1.01 g/cm3이다. 회절강도들은 Nonius CAD-4 diffractometer로 얻었으며, graphite-monochromatized MoKα radiation를 사용하여 2θ로 40°까지 얻었다. 분자구조는 직접법으로 풀었으며, 정밀화는 Fourier 법과 최소자승법으로 수행하였다. 현재 R값은 0.22로 아직 풀어야 할 연구과제로 남아있다. 이 화합물의 cholesterol 부분의 구조는 다른 화합물과 비교적 잘 일치하고 있다. 결정에서 분자들이 길게 c-axis에 평행하게 놓여있고, monolayer을 이루며 쌓여있는데 cholesterol 부분은 촘촘하게 모여있는 반면 isopropyl carbonate chain들은 느슨하게 모여있어 이 결정의 liquid crystalline state성질을 나타냄을 구조로서 설명하여 준다.

메소젠기로서 다양한 조성의 아조벤젠기와 콜레스테릴기를 갖는 곁사슬 액정고분자를 직접중축합에 의해 합성하고 고분자들의 특성을 조사하였다. 1,1,2,2-테트라클로로에테인으로 측정된 합성된 고분자들의 고유점성도는 0.32과 0.38 dL/g 사이의 값을 나타냈다. 아조벤젠기만을 포함하고 있는 고분자, SP-A10C0를 제외한 모든 고분자들은 부피가 큰 곁사슬의 메소젠기로 인하여 무정형이거나 매우 낮은 결정성을 나타냈다. 합성된 고분자들은 모두 양방성 액정성을 보였으며, 아조벤젠기만을 갖는 고분자 SP-A10C0는 네마틱상을, 그 외의 모든 고분자들은 콜레스테릭상을 나타냈다. 특히, 고분자의 곁사슬로 콜레스테릴기의 함량이 많아지면 콜레스테릴기의 큰 부피로 인하여 액정성이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

Synthesis of a new copoly (M4Ch-ChMA), copoly ((4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholestery methacrylate), with chalconyl and cholesterol moiety characteristics for photoalignment materials was investigated. Good thermal stabilities of the synthesized copolymers are confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement. The pretilt angles of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) are reduced as UV exposure time is increased on the copolymer surfaces. A pretilt angle of 81$^{\circ}$in NLC was observed with UV exposure of 3 min on the copolymer-3 surface. The NLCs pretilt angle is attributable to increased chalcone with increasing the UV exposure time.

본 연구에서는 Cholestery1 bipheny1 ester계열 화합물을 합성하여 편광현미경이 부착된 hot-stage와 시차열분석기로 물성을 조사하였다. 이 계열 화합물들은 모두 콜레스테릭 액정상을 나타내며, 알콕시 사슬 3번부터 스메틱상이 형성됨을 보여 준다. 또한, 일반적인 콜레스테릭 액정화합물에 비해 높은 상전이 온도를 보유하고 있으며, 넓은 온도 범위에 걸쳐 액정상을 나타낸다.

Cholesteryl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate의 결정은 두가지 서로 다른 결정구조로 결정화한다. Dichloromethane 용매에서 키운 결정(1)과 hexane 용매에서 키운 결정(2)이 서로 다른 구조를 나타낸다. Cholesterol O(3)에 결합한 dichloro- benzoate의 상대적인 배열도 이 두가지 구조에서 서로 다르다. 특히 이들 결정구조들은, 공간군(P2₁2₁2₁)과 격자상수들이 매우 비슷한 결정이다. 결정(1)은 뚜렷한 layer structure를 보여준다. 결정(1)은 예측한 대로 liquid crystalline state(cholesteric phase)가 130.8℃에서 나타내고 녹는점은 132.5℃이다. 결정(2)의 녹는점은 133.7℃이다.

Solubilization of cholesterol, its fatty acid esters and gallstones were undertaken employing nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactants. Cholesterol was effectively solubilized by all of these surfactants. Cationic surfactants were most effective. However, cholesteryl myristate was not solubilized at all. In the dissolution test of gallstones in surfactant solutions, cationic surfactant solutions were exceptionally effective in dissolving gallstones. These results suggest the possible existence of interaction between alkylammonium radical and cholesterol on micellar surface.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a hydrophobic glycoprotein promoting transfer of cholesteryl esters (CE) from high-density lipoproteins (HDL) to lower-density lipoproteins in the plasma, has been recognized a potent atherogenic factor during the development of coronary artery diseases. This study demonstrated a possible utilization of antisense RNA to inhibit expression of the CETP gene using vaccinia virus as an expression system. The CETP cDNA was inserted into a transfer vector (pSC11) in sense and antisense orientations and used to generate recombinant viruses. Recombinants containing sense or antisense orientations of the CETP cDNA were isolated by $TK^-$ selection and X-gal test. The inserted CETP cDNAs in the recombinants were identified by Southern blot analysis and allowed to transcribe in host cells (CV-1). Expressions of the exogenous CETP mRNA, extracted from the CV-1 cells coinfected with viruses containing sense and antisense DNAs, were monitored by Northern blot analysis using the CETP cDNA probe, by Western blot analysis using monoclonal antibody against the C-terminal active region of the CETP and by the CETP assay. Decreased expressions of the exogenous CETP cDNA were clearly evident in the Northern and Western blot analyses as the dose of antisense expression increased. In the CETP assay, the CETP activities decreased compared to the activity obtained from the cell extracts infected with sense construct only.
