미역고사리(Polypodium vutgare L.)와 쇠무릎(Achyranthes japonica Nakai)에 있어서 광과 methyl jasmonate(MJ), 6-benzylaminopurine(BA), thidiazuron(TDZ), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D)가 식물체 중의 ecdysteroids (${\beta}$-ecdysone+polypodine B) 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수광량을 조절하여 재배한 미역고사리의 잎과 근경 모두 상대광도가 높을수록 ecdysteroids 함량이 감소하였고 쇠무릎 유묘의 배양시 광 조건일 때가 암 조건일 때 보다 ecdysteroids함량이 낮아 식물의 ecdysteroids 함량은 광에 의해 저하되는 것으로 나타났다. 미역고사리 전엽체와 쇠무릎 유묘의 배양계에서 식물체 중의 ecdysteroids 함량은 배지 중의 MJ와 BA 그리고 TDZ의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가된 반면 2,4-D의 농도와는 무관하게 일정한 수준으로 유지되어,식물의 ecdysteroids 함량은 MJ와 cytokinin처리에 의해 증가되지만 auxin처리에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

One of the biggest problems encountered during the last phase of silkworm rearing is non-uniform maturation of the silkworms especially during cooler months. Phytoecdysteroid (20-hydroxy ecdysone) was extracted in large-scale from a plant belongs to Caryophyllaceae and fed to silkworm larvae to test the effect of phytoecdysteroid. About 80％ of the silkworms were ready for mounting by 18 hrs after treatment (when the treatment is done for uniform spinning), whereas in control batch only 37％ worms were ready for mounting by the same time.

연두금파리의 유충-번데기-성충의 발생에 따른 cyclic AMP(CAMP)와 ecdysteroids의 농도 및 cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase(PKA)의 활성도를 High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC)와 Liquid Scintillation Counter(LSC)를 이용하여 측정하고 상관 기능 변화를 조사하였다. CAMP의 농도와 PKA의 활성도는 종령유충 및 성충에서 낮은 갓(0.29 UM/g, 5.52~5.59 unit/mg)을 나타내었고 번데기 0일(0.49 UM/g. 92.22 unit/mg)과 7일(0.50UM/g, 24.45 unit/mg)에서 최고치를 보였으며 번데기 4일에서 최저수준(0.13 $\mu$M/g3.23 unit/mg)을 나타내었다. Ecdysone 농도는 번데기 2일에 최고치(37 84 USlg)를 4일에 최저치(18.46 Ugyg)를 보인 후, 5일에 24.37 1519로 상승하였으며 성충에서는 낮은 값을 나타내었다 그러나 20-hydroxvecdysone 농도는 번데기 4일(23.66 UgyS)과 번데기 6일(14.90 Ugyg)에 최고치를 이루었고, 7일에서 최저치(1.21 USi9)를 나타내었다.

The prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) produced by the neurosecretory cells in insects is involved in molting and metamorphosis by activating the prothoracic frins) glands to secrete ecdysone (or related ecdvsteroidsl. In the present study, the small PTTH-like gene was isolated by screening of CDNA library using the bombvxin (corresponding to small PTTH in Bombvx moril gene probe in Drosophilo melonogaster. It showed 50-6096 sequence homology to bombyxin gene. The expression patterns of this gene showed developmental stage- and tissue-dependent manners. The mRNA was detected only in the late third instar larval-prepupa which is stases showing the highest hormonal activity to secrete ecdysteroids, and detected in the brain pan of the Isle third instar lanrae.

The herbs of Lamium takesimense Nakai (Lamiaceae) is used to treat spasmodic and inflammatory disease. The four polar compounds, ecdysterone, isoacteoside, rutin and lamiuside C, were isolated and identified from the BuOH fraction of the L. takesimense MeOH extract. HPLC quantification was performed on a Capcell Pak C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6mm{\times}250mm$) with a gradient elution of $H_2O$ and 0.05% acetic acid in MeOH. The HPLC method was validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity, stability, precision, and accuracy. The quantitative level in plant material was determined as the following order: lamiuside C (4, 3.75 mg/g dry weight) > ecdysterone (1, 1.93 mg/g) > isoacteoside (2, 1.32 mg/g) > rutin (3, 0.97 mg/g).

Adult diapause in insects is characterized by suppression of reproductive development. It is induced by environmental cues such as photoperiod, temperature, food availability, and other conditions Diapause-inducing environment is recognized and analyzed by the brain of the insects. The interpreted information is conveyed via endocrine system to target tissues such as ovaries, fat body, and other tissues. From this signal hierarchy of a brain-endocrine-target tissue axis, several factors are involved to express a diapause trait in a quantitative mode, even though the insects show a binomial phenotye between being in diapause or not. Recent works estimated that the number of the factors is relatively small by a series of crossing trials between high and low diapause lines. Heritability of the diapause is quite high (ca. 70%) in some species. Epistasis, sex-linkage, pleiotropism, and other nongenetic components also affect diapause inheritance. Most physiological studies have been focused on control mechanisms of the juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis in corpora allata (CA) because JH level in hemolymph of teneral adults is critical to decide a later developmental mode. Allatostatin, an antagonizer of JH synthesis, has been believed to be a potent brain message to CA for adult diapause induction.

버즘나무방패벌레(Corythucha ciliata)에 대한 비스테로이드성 탈피호르몬 작용제인 tebufenozide가 배자 발육과 후배자발육에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Tebufenozide가 알에 대해서 살란효과를 보였으며($LC_{50}=4.0$ ppm), 약충의 영기별 감수성은 차이가 없었다($LC_{50}=2.3{\sim}6.0$ ppm). Tebufenozide를 종령 약충에 처리했을 때 우화율, 수명 및 생식력은 농도가 높을수록(10 ppm) 감소하였다. 우화후 시일 경과에 따른 약제 처리효과에서 농도가 높을수록 산란전기는 지연되었고 성충수명, 산란수 및 부화율은 반대로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 난소발육도 억제되었다.

Athyrium acutipinnulum, called as Ulleungdo ladyfern (Seom-go-sa-ri), is a native plant of South Korea. A. acutipinnulum has been consumed as foods and also traditionally used for the treatment of epilepsy, gonorrhea and nerve disorder. The methanolic extract and EtOAc soluble fraction of A. acutipinnulum showed the antioxidant activity. Fractionation using various chromatographic techniques resulted in the isolation of 13 compounds. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods as seven phenolic compounds, methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate (1), protocatechualdehyde (2), caffeic acid (3), trans-p-coumaric acid (4), (-)-4-E-caffeoyl-L-threonic acid (5), 5-O-caffeoyl shikimic acid (6) and 5-O-caffeoyl quinic acid (7), three flavonoids, quercetin 3-O-β-glucoside (8), naringenin-7-O-β-glucoside (9) and sutchenoside A (10), two steroids, ponasterone A (11) and ecdysone (12) and a coumarin, esculetin (13). Among them, compounds 5 and 10 were first reported from Athyrium spp and compounds 2, 5, 6 and 7 showed the antioxidant activity.

Recent studies provide some evidence that the HtrA2 protein is intimately associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders and that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control and ER stress-associated cell death play critical roles in neuronal cell death. However, little is known about the intimate relationship between HtrA2 and ER stress-associated cellular responses. In the present study, we have demonstrated that the HtrA2 protein level was gradually and significantly increased by up to to-fold in the mitochondria under tunicamycin (Tm)-induced ER stress, which eventually promoted cell death through the release of HtrA2 into the cytoplasm. Using an ecdysone-inducible mammalian expression system, we demonstrate that the extent of cell death in 293-HtrA2 cells was approximately 20 times higher under Tm-induced ER stress, indicating that the increase in the HtrA2 protein level in the mitochondria itself is necessary but not sufficient for the promotion of cell death. Taken together, these results suggest that HtrA2 may serve as a mediator of ER stress-induced apoptosis and ER-mitochondrial cross-talk in some cellular processes.

본 연구는 양치식물로부터 phytoecdysteroids의 추출 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 시행하였다. 청나래고사리와 고비의 잎(엽상체)을 동결건조 한 후 곱게 분쇄하여 MeOH, 80% EtOH, $H_2O$(nano pure grade)를 용매로 하여 50배 추출하였으며, 각 용매별로 6시간 동안 침지, 교반(200 RPM), 60$^{\circ}C$ 환류냉각추출하거나 42 kHz의 초음파수조에서 15, 30, 45분 동안 추출하였다. 추출물은 $C_{18}$ cartridge로 정제하여 분석하였으며, HPLC를 이용하여 각 추출물의 20-hydroxyecdysone(20E)과 ponasterone A(PonA)의 함량을 조사하였다. 3종류의 용매를 6가지 방법으로 추출한 결과, 청나래고사리와 고비의 추출물 모두 MeOH를 용매로 30분 동안 초음파 추출했을 때 20E와 PonA의 용출량이 증가하였으며, 엽상체 건물중 1 g당 청나래고사리와 고비의 20E 함량은 66.76과 104.48 ${\mu}g$, PonA의 함량은 53.43와 43.82 ${\mu}g$이었다.
