  • Atg5 and Atg7 have long been considered as essential molecules for autophagy. However, we found that cells lacking these molecules still form autophagic vacuoles and perform autophagic protein degradation when subjected to certain stressors. During this unconventional autophagy pathway, autophagosomes appeared to be generated in a Rab9-dependent manner by the fusion of vesicles derived from the trans-Golgi and late endosomes. Therefore, mammalian autophagy can occur via at least two different pathways; the Atg5/Atg7-dependent conventional pathway and an Atg5/Atg7-independent alternative pathway.

  • Omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) is found in a high proportion in the structural lipids of cell membranes, in particular those of the central nervous system and the retina. Diet-induced changes in fatty acid composition in these tissues may affect physiochemical functions. This study was conducted to investigate whether supplements of DHA in infant formula has an effect on the composition of fatty acids in erythrocytes with regard to brain development. Experimental groups were breastmilk group(n=21), placebo formula group(n=15), and DHA supplemented formula (0.26%) group(n=16). Infants were selected by mothers who deliverecdd at Kyung Hee medical center from February to April, 1996. Infant body weight, length, and head circumference were similar among the experimental groups at 16 weeks of age. The levels of DHA in breastmilk, placebo formula, and DHA supplemented formula were 0.56, 0, and 0.26% of total fatty acids, respectively. There was a significant correlation between dietary DHA intake and erythrocyte DHA levels. The levels of arachidonic acid did not differ among the three expermental groups. The result of flash visual evoke potential(VEP) test was correlated with the erythrocyte levels and dietary DHA levels at 16 weeks of age. No other fatty acid was correlated with VEP test results. No differences were found in Bayley Mental and Psychomotor Development Index scores among the three groups at 20 weeks of age. DHA seems to be an essential nutrient for optimum growth and maturation of term infants. Relatively small amounts of dietary DHA supplementation significantly elevate DHA supplementation significantly elevate DHA content in erythrocytes, which in turn has an implication for better scores for infant's VEP test. Whether supplementation of formula-fed infants with DHA has long-term benefits remains to be elucidated.

  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding regulatory RNAs that play important roles in normal hematopoiesis, including erythropoiesis. Although studies have identified several miRNAs that regulate erythroid commitment and differentiation, we do not understand the mechanism by which the crucial erythroid transcription factors, GATA-1and NF-E2 directly regulate and control differentiation via miRNA pathways. In this study, we identified miR-199b-5p as a key regulator of human erythropoiesis, and its expression was up-regulated during the erythroid differentiation of K562 cells. Furthermore, the increase of miR-199b-5p in erythroid cells occurred in a GATA-1- and NF-E2-dependent manner during erythrocyte maturation. Both GATA-1 and NF-E2 bound upstream of the miR-199b gene locus and activated its transcription. Forced expression of miRNA-199b-5p in K562 cells affected erythroid cell proliferation and maturation. Moreover, we identified c-Kit as a direct target of miR-199b-5p in erythroid cells. Taken together, our results establish a functional link among the erythroid transcription factors GATA-1/NF-E2, miR-199b-5p and c-Kit, and provide new insights into the coupling of transcription and post-transcription regulation in erythroid differentiation.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences fatty acids and hormonal parameters in the spawning and non-spawning season between the diploid and induced triploid Far Eastern catfish, Silurus asotus. The measured triploids were produced by cold shock for 50 min at $4^{\circ}C$ in May 2014, the spawning season of diploid was in May, and the non-spawning season was designated in January. Estradiol and testosterone and gonadosomatic index of diploid were higher than those of induced triploid in spawning season (P<0.05), and those of diploid in spawning season were higher than non-spawning season. On the other hand, thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroxine of induced triploid were higher than those of diploid in spawning season (P<0.05). Erythrocyte count of diploid was higher than that of induced triploid in spawning season and non-spawning seasons. Mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin of induced triploid were higher than those of diploid in both seasons (P<0.05). Percentages of total saturated fatty acids and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids of induced triploid were higher than those of diploid in spawning season, but those of diploid were higher in non-spawning season (P<0.05). Percentages of total mono unsaturated fatty acids and total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids of diploid were higher than those of induced triploids in spawning season, while those of induced triploid in non-spawning season were higher (P<0.05). Therefore, induced triploids in the spawning season tend to concentrate on growth and lipid-synthesization, whereas, diploids concentrate on reproduction and gonadal maturation rather than on growth. In non-spawning season, growth and lipid-synthesization were not significantly different between diploid and induced triploid.

  • 산천어 3배체를 유도하기 위해 수정난에 고온처리가 실시되었다 3배체 유도율 및 3배체 생산율을 고려시 수온 $28^{\circ}C$에서 수정 후 10분에 15분간, 20분간의 처리가 각각 $96.7\%$의 3배체 유도율, $91.4\%$의 3배체 생산율 및 $100\%$의 3배체 유도율, $89.8\%$의 3배체 생산율을 보여 산천어 3배체 유도시 적절한 처리조건임이 판명되었다. 산천어 3배체는 2배체에 비해 적혈구 세포의 장축, 단축, 장축/단축, 표면적 및 부피에 있어 1.29배, 1.17배, 1.10배, 1.54배 및 1.78배의 증가를 보였으며 적혈구 핵의 장축, 단축, 장축/단축, 표면적 및 부피에 있어 각각 1.36배, 1.32배, 1.14배, 1:75배 및 2.31배의 증가를 보였다 산천어 3배체의 염색체수(3n=99) 및 핵형(17 sets of metacentrics or submetacentrics, 16 sets of acrocentrics or telocentrics)은 2배체의 염색체수(2n=66) 및 핵형과 비교시 핵형은 동일하였으나 각 조에서 3개의 염색체로 구성되어 배수화에 따른 반수체의 DNA증가 현상을 나타내었다. 특히 3배체의 가장 큰 3개의 telocentrics 단완에 존재하는 부수체(satellite)는 산천어 3배체 확인의 marker로 유용하리라 사료된다. 산천어 2배체, 3배체를 대상으로 배체(embryo)에서 인형성부위(nucleolar organizer regions)를 silver 염색한 결과 인의 수/세포에서 산천어 2배체는 1, 2를 나타내었으며 산천어 3배체는 1, 2 및 3을 나타내어 인형성부위의 silver 염색법은 적혈구 세포 및 핵 크기측정법과 아울러 대상 개체를 죽이지 않고 쉽게 배수화를 판별할 수 있는 방법임이 판명되었다. 산란기에 3배체는 2배체에 비해 성장증대 효과를 보였으며 생식소를 외형적, 조직학적으로 조사한 결과 3배체 암컷은 불임을 나타내었으며 3배체 수컷은 성숙 장애를 나타내었다. 3배체는 이러한 불임에 기인된 산란 치사를 겪지 않았으며 4년산 3배체 암컷의 평균 전장은 32.7cm로 2년산 2배체 암컷의 평균전장 16.2cm에 비해 크게 나타났다.

  • 침버섯 자실체는 원기형성일로부터 exp${\{b_2{^*}ln(t)^2+b_1{^*}ln(t)}\}$의 생장곡선을 그리면서 성장하는 것으로 나타났으며 재배후 20일째에는 생장 임계선을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 생장 임계선이 20일째 나타나지만 재배 14일째부터는 다당류의 감소현상이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 이로 인해 재배후 14~15일(자실체 생중량 150 g)째가 최적 수확시기로 사료된다. 이는 Choi et al. (2011)이 연구하여 발표하였던 침버섯의 균사 생장 패턴과 유사하며 배양시기별 기능성 단백질을 생산하는 양에 차이가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 Park et al. (2004)는 표고버섯에서 채취 시기별 영양소 차이가 존재하지 않지만 부위별 영양소 차이가 존재한다고 하였다. 침버섯은 시기별 생장하는 부위가 다르기에 시기에 따른 기능성 단백질 차이가 아닌 세부 부위별 유효성분 분포 차이로 본 연구와 같은 결과가 도출되었을 가능성도 배제할 수 없다고 사료된다. Myung-Hee et al. (2012)는 시판 되는 버섯의 부위 중 자실체에 주로 유효성분 이 분포한다고 하였다. 따라서 침버섯의 최적 수확시기는 버섯의 자실체에 해당하는 바늘의 생장이 거의 정지되는 시점이기에 성장 시기별 기능성 물질의 생산량의 차이인지 부위별 유효성분 분포 차이인지를 규명할 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

  • 본 연구는 무지개송어 양식 산업의 생산성 향상을 위해 전 암컷 무지개송어 대량생산을 위한 일환으로 성호르몬에 의한 생리학적 성전환과 자성발생 2배체어를 유도하였다. 생리학적으로 성전환된 수컷을 만들기 위하여 부화 후 첫 먹이를 먹는 시기에 웅성호르몬인 17 alpha-methyltestosterone (MT) 5 mg을 사료에 흡착시켜 사육수온 $13^{\circ}C$에서 적산수온 $800^{\circ}C$까지 처리한 결과 96.7%의 수컷 유도율을 보였다. 또한 정상 수컷 정액을 이용하여 수정 10분 후 $28^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 고온 처리하여 61.7%의 자성발생 2배체가 유도되었다.
