Collagen is widely used for regenerative therapy and pharmaceutical applications as one of the most useful scaffolds. Collagen is the most abundant protein in vertebrates and the natural substrate of various types of animal cells. Bone and dentin are mineralized tissues and almost similar in chemical components. They consist of collagen (18%), non-collagenous proteins (2%), hydroxyapatite (70%) and body fluid (10%) in weight volume. Pepsin-digested, type I collagen (atelocollagen) and heat-denatured collagen (gelatin) are basic collagenous materials for medical use. Demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) belong to acid-insoluble group, and vital tooth-derived DDM is a unique dentin material including cementum and growth factors. In this review, collagen-based materials will be introduced and discussed for bone regenerative surgery.

We examined the anti-invasive activity of ginsenosides Rhl, Rha on the highly metastatic HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. In vitro invasion assay showed ginsenoside Rhr reduced tumor cell invasion through a reconstituted basement membrane in a transwell chamber more than ginsenoside Rh1. Significant down-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) by ginsenosides Rh, and Rh2 was detected by Northern blot analysis. However, the expression of MMP-2 was not affected by Rh, and Rhr. The expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) was increased by Rhl after 0.5, 1 or 3 day-treatment but reduced after 6 day-treatment. However, the expression of TIMP-2 was not changed by treatment with Rh2. Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) and urokinase-type plasmlnogen activator (uPA) were not changed by treatment with Rh1 and Rh2 for 3 and 6 days. Quantitative gelatin-based zymography confirmed a markedly reduced expression of MMP-9 but MMP-2 after treatments with ginsenosides Rhl and Rha. These results suggest that down-regulation of MMP-9 contributes to the anti-invasive activity of ginsenosides Rhl and Rhr in the HT1080 cells.

Two strains were isolated from the vinegar of Korean traditional fermented rice wine and the vine gar of fermented persimmon, respectively. These strains, designated as KM and BPV, were identified as the genus Acetobacter with respect to morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics. The Isolates oxidized ethanol to acetate and over-oxidized acetate or lactate to CO2 and H2O. They were positive in catalase test, while being negative in oxidase, gelatin liquefaction, VP test, H2O production and indole formation tests. No ${\gamma}$-pyrones ware produced from glucose and fructose. KM was tolerant of 11% ethanol while BPV was relatively sensitive to ethanol at a higher concentration than 5%. The guanine-plus-cytosine contents of the DNA of KM and BPV strains were 53.8 and 56.6 mol%, respectively. The cellular fatty acid compositions contained in these isolates were saturated straightchain C14:0 and C16:0,, and unsaturated straight-chain C18:1. Major ubiquinone system of KM was Q-9, but that of BPV was Q-10. In morphophysiological and biochemical aspects, KM strain was similar to Acetobacter pasteurianus. However, BPV strain was different from other Acetobacter type strains.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis by extracellular matrix degradation. To analyze the effect of DA-125, a anthracyclin derivative, on the invasion or metastasis of cancer cells the expression of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) was investigated in human fibrosarcoma HTl080 cells by RT-PCR or gelatin zymographic methods. As result, DA-125 suppressed the expression of MMP-2 and 9 as well as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) TIMP-2 and MT1-MMP with a time- and dose-dependent manner. Inaddition, DA-125 inhibited cancer cell migration and colony formation, and also exhibited the inhibitory activities of invasion and motility with a matrigel and type I collagen assay. (omitted)

In order to study the differentiation of the epithelial cells during the development of fetal rat lung tissue, histological changeB in organotypic culture and in vivo were examined. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to analvre the histological change in rat lung from the 15th nary of gestation to the 111th nary after birth. In organotypic culture system, the pulmonary epithelial cell differentiation was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained from this study were as follows. 1. During deveiopment of lung, the glandular stage lasted from the Isth day to the lsth naut of gestation; the canalicular stage from the 17th nay to the 19th naut of gestation; the saccuiar stage from 20th nary to the birth. Alveolar stage was observed at the 3rd nary of postnatal rat lung. 2. In organotvpic culture of fetal rat lung cells organized alveolar-like structures resembling those of in uiuo state were observed on the gelatin matrix. In contrast with in vivo state, fetal lung cells formed group of type ll pneumocytes predominently along the contours of the matrix. These cells have large apical surface, short microvilli and secreted materials which may be sunactant. These results suggested that an orsanotypic culture retaining epithelial- -mesenchvmal relationships is appropriate culture model to study the pulmonary epithelial cell (especially type ll pneumocvte) differentation.

본 연구에서는 치주질환과 관련이 깊은 것으로 알려진 구강내 spirochetes 균 중 Treponema denticola(TDC)와 가장 최근에 분리 배양된 Treponema lecithinolyticum(TLC)이 치주인대세포에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 두 spirochtes 균주를 배양한후 MTT test를 이용한 치주인대 세포의 증식 억제효과를 알아보았다. 또한, 위상차 현미경을 이용한 세포형태의 변화를 관찰 하였으며, LDH(lactate dehydrogenase) test를 이용한 세포독성 실험과, gelatin zymography를 시행하여 교원질 분해효소의 하나인 gelatinase의 활성화 여부를 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 일정한 반응시간에서 농도에 따른 세포증식 억제효과에서는 TLC의 경우 높은 농도$(150{\mu}g/well)$에서부터 세포증식 억제 효과가 나타났으며, TDC에서는 낮은 농도$(9.4{\mu}g/well)$에서도 억제 효과가 나타났다. 2. 일정한 농도에서 시간에 따른 세포증식 억제효과에서는 TLC의 경우 2일째 $150{\mu}g/well$ 농도에서부터 세포증식 억제효과가 나타났으며, TDC에서는 $9.4{\mu}g/well$ 농도에서는 2일째에 세포증식 억제효과가 나타났다. 3. 열처리한 세균의 세포증식 억제 효과에서는 TDC의 경우에서 열처리 시킨 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우에 차이가 나타났으나, TLC의 경우에는 차이가 없었다. 4. 위상차현미경으로 관찰한 치주인대세포의 형태변화는 대조군에 비해 실험군에서 세포 형태의 손상으로 방추형이 소실되었고 세포증식이 억제되었으며, 세포끼리의 연결 또한 끊어져 분리되어 있었다. 5. 세포독성을 알아보기 위한 LDH test에서는 대조군, 실험군 모두 큰 차이가 없었다. 6. Zymography를 통한 교원질 분해에 미치는 영향에서는 TDC와 TLC에 의한 분자량 72kDa의 progelatinase A가 활성형으로 발현되었다. 이상의 결과를 보아 TLC와 TDC는 세포증식 억제효과를 통해 치주인대세포에 영향을 미치며, 교원질 분해 효소 Type IV의 하나인 progelatinase A를 활성형으로 발현시킴을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hydrocolloids on the changes in physical properties of a model ice cream. The model ice cream contained water, sugar, skin milk powder, com oil, and 4 different hydrocolloid stabilizers (gelatin, pectin, hydroxyethylstarch, locust bean gum), was manufactured in a batch type freezer. The following physical characteristics of ice cream were examined: flow behavior, overrun, air cell size, ice crystal size, and melt resistance. With regard to flow behavior, all of aged mixes had a lower apparent viscosity relative to the mix before aging, and ice cream mix containing locust bean gum had the highest viscosity. Air cell size was observed to range from 20 to $38\;{\mu}m$, and ice cream with locust bean gum showed the largest size. There was an inverse correlation between overrun and air cell size. The ice crystal sizes of all samples ranged from 25 to $35\;{\mu}m$. Ice cream with added pectin contained the smallest ice crystal size, which was significantly difference from other stabilizers (p<0.05), and resulted in superior melt resistance with increased melting time compared to other samples.

Aspergillus niger has been used as a host system to express many heterologous proteins. It has various advantages over other expression systems in that it is a small eukaryotic GRAS (Generally Recognized aS Safe) organism with a capacity of secreting large amount of foreign proteins. However, it has been known that the presence of an abundant protease is a limiting factor to express a heterologous protein. The proteases deficient mutants of A. niger were obtained using UV -mutagenesis. A total of 1 ${\times}$ $10^5$ spores were irradiated with 10-20% survival dose of UV, 600J/M2 at 280nm, and the resulting spores were screened on the casein -gelatin plates. Ten putative protease deficient mutants were further analyzed on the starch plates to differentiate the pro from the secretory mutant. An endogenous extracellular enzyme, glucose oxidase, was also examined to confirm that the mutant phenotype was due to the proteases deficiency rather than the mutation in the secretory pathway. The reduced proteolytic activity was measured using SDS-fibrin zymography gel, casein degradation assay, and bio-activity of a supplemented hGM -CSF (human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor). Comparing with the wild type strain, less than 30 % of proteolytic activity was observed in the culture filtrate of the protease deficient mutant (pro -20) without any notable changes in cell growth and secretion.
