Bovine PAS-4 is an integral membrane glycoprotein expressed in mammary epithelial cells. Complementary DNA (cDNA) cloning of PAS-4 was performed by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with oligonucleotide probes based on it's amino terminal and internal tryptic-peptides. The cloned PAS-4 cDNA was 1,852 nucleotides (nt) long and its open reading frame (ORF) was encoded 1,413 base long. The deduced amino acid sequence indicated that PAS-4 consisted of 471 amino acid residues with molecular weight of 52,796, bearing 8 potential N-glycosylation sites and 9 cysteine residues. Partial bovine CD36 cDNA from liver also was sequenced and the homology of both nucleotide sequence was 94%. Most of the identical amino acid residues were in the luminal/extracellular domains. Contrary to PAS-4, bovine liver CD36 displays 6 potential N-glycosylation sites, which were located, except for those at positions 101 and 171, at same positions as PAS-4 cDNA. Cysteine residues of PAS-4 and CD36 were same at position and in numbers. Northern blot analysis showed that PAS-4 was widely expressed, although its mRNA steady-state levels vary considerably among the analyzed cell types. PAS-4 possessed hydrophobic amino acid segments near the amino- and carboxyl-termini. Two short cytoplasmic tails of the amino- and carboxyl-terminal ends constituted of a 5-7 and 8-11 amino acid residues, respectively.

A drug interaction is a situation in which a substance affects the activity of a drug, synergistically or antagonistically, when both are administered together. It has been shown that orally taken ginsenosides are deglycosylated by intestinal bacteria to give ginsenosides metabolites, which has been considered to be genuine pharmacological constituents and to exhibit drug interactions. Animal experimental results demonstrated that ginsenoside metabolites play an important role in the inhibitory or inductive action of both CYPs (cytochrome p450) and P-gp (p-glycoprotein), thereby can be applied as metabolic modulator to drug interactions. Very few are known on the possibility of drug interaction if taken the recommended dose of ginseng, but it has been found to act as CYPs inductor and P-gp inhibitor in any clinical trial, suggesting the risk that side effects will occur. It has been recently reported that interactions might also exist between ginseng and drugs such as warfarin, phenelzine, imatinib and raltegravir. Moreover, medicinal plants are increasingly being taken in a manner more often associated with prescription medicines. Therefore, considering the extensive applications of ginseng for safety, the aim of this review is to present a comprehensive overview of ginseng and drug interactions based upon pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic evidences.

형질전환 가금의 생산에 있어서 retrovirus vector를 이용하는 방법은 다양한 종류의 표적세포에 대하여 retrovirus 고유의 감염성에 의한 외래 유전자의 전이가 용이하고, 전이된 유전자가 진정염색질 영역 내로 선택적으로 도입될 수 있으며 유전적으로 안정성을 나타내므로 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나 가금에서는 초기 배발달에 의한 급격한 세포의 수적 증가로 인해 고감염성의 virus의 획득이 요구되므로, 이를 위하여 virus stock의 농축에 있어 보다 안정적이고 pantropic인 vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV G) glycoprotein를 envelope로 가지는 pseudotyped retrovirus vector system을 이용하였으며, marker gene으로 eGFP gene이 발현되는 retrovirus를 생산하였다. 이 virus를 이용하여 여러 가지 표적세포와 primary culture한 CEF세포를 감염시켜 GFP의 발현을 확인하였으며, 농축한 virus stock은 stage X의 계란을 선택하여 windowed egg를 제작한 후 배하층에 주입하였다. 형질전환 닭은 정상 발생한 닭에 비하여 저조한 발생율을 보였으나 PCR을 이용하여 외래 유전자의 도입을 확인한 결과 100%인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 한 개체 내에서 유전자의 도입이 폐, 간, 정소, 소장 등의 여러 장기에서 확인되었다.

Self-incompatibility in Brassica campestris is controlled by multi-allele system in a single genetic locus, the S locus, and it is elucidated that S-glycoproteins are S gene products. In this experiments, we examined the genetic mode(pollen tube behavior and segregation of S-glycoprotein), characteristic of S-glycoproteins and DNA constitution within nuclear genome on S gene family that unexplained by single locus model, and investigated the segregation pattern of S-glycoproteins in bred F1 generation. By diallel cross among the 15 plants within one family the existence of three types of homozygotes and three types of heterozygotes were observed, and segregation of S-allele could not explained by single locus model. From the results of IEF-immunoblot analysis for non-segregated individual plant, the segregation pattern of S specific bands was corresponded with results of diallel cross except with one case(SaSa genotype). The molecular weight of 6 different S-genotype varied in near by 50 kD, and each genotype expressed with 2 or 3 bands. Specific bands in SaSa, SbSb, ScSc has almost similar molecular weight between them. Southern analysis of genomic DNA probed with S-glycoprotein cDNA for 6 different genotypes revealed that there are clear difference in polymorphism, multiple bands of hybridization, when restriction enzymes of EcoR I were used. It could be assumed that there are several sequences related to the S-glycoprotein structural genes within their nuclear genome. Therefore, we suggested the possibilities that S-allele system could be controlled by multi-locus, that dominance-recessive interactions could be explained by modifier gene or supressor gene based on the results of abnormal segregation of S-glycoprotein in bred F1. The F2 analyses are progressing in now.

Previously, we reported that water-extracted Acanthopanax senticasus exhibited anti-meta-static activity by stimulating the immune system. In this study, we fractionated glycoproteins (EN-SP) from the soluble protein layer (GF-AS) of A. senticasus and determined their basic chemical properties. We also investigated the anti-tumor and immunostimulating activities of the fractionated glycoprotein, EN-SP. We found that intravenous (i.v.) administration of GF-AS dramatically inhibited metastasis of colon26-M3.1 carcinoma cells to the lung in a dose-dependent manner. In vitro analysis showed GF-AS to enhance the proliferation of splenocytes. GF-AS also stimulated peritoneal macrophage, which was followed by the production of various cytokines such as IL-1$\beta$, TNF-$\alpha$, IL-12 and IFN-${\gamma}$. Furthermore, the production of these cytokines was partially blocked when peritoneal macrophage was cultured with the polyclonal antibodies against GF-AS. The depletion of NK cells by rabbit anti-asialo GM1 serum partly abolished the inhibitory effect of GF-AS on lung metastasis of colon26-M3.1 cells. Using gel filtration, EN-SP, an active glycoprotein fraction, is isolated from GF-AS. While both GF-AS and EN-SP stimulated the proliferatation of splenocytes of normal mice, EN-SP showed higher anti-metastatic activity and more potently stimulated the proliferation of splenocytes compared to GF-AS. These results suggest the use of EN-SP, the fractionated glycoprotein from A. senticasus, can be used as a therapeutical reagent to prevent or inhibit tumor metastasis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nimodipine on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin after oral and intravenous administration of warfarin in rats. Methods: Warfarin was administered orally (0.2 mg/kg) or intravenously (0.05 mg/kg) without or with oral administration of nimodipine (0.5 or 2 mg/kg) in rats. The effect of nimodipine on the P-glycoprotein as well as cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 activity was also evaluated. Results: Nimodipine inhibited CYP3A4 enzyme activity with 50% inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of $10.2{\mu}M$. Compared to those animals in the oral control group (warfarin without nimodipine), the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of warfarin was significantly greater (0.5 mg/kg, P<0.05; 2 mg/kg, P<0.01) by 31.3-57.6%, and the peak plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) was significantly higher (2 mg/kg, P<0.05) by 29.4% after oral administration of warfarin with nimodipine, respectively. Consequently, the relative bioavailability of warfarin increased by 1.31- to 1.58-fold and the absolute bioavailability of warfarin with nimodipine was significantly greater by 64.1-76.9% compared to that in the control group (48.7%). In contrast, nimodipine had no effect on any pharmacokinetic parameters of warfarin given intravenously. Conclusion: Therefore, the enhanced oral bioavailability of warfarin may be due to inhibition of CYP 3A4-mediated metabolism rather than P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux by nimodipine.

Rabid raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides koreensis) have been responsible for animal rabies in South Korea since the 1990s. A recombinant rabies vaccine strain, designated as ERAGS, was constructed for use as a bait vaccine. Therefore, new means of differentiating ERAGS from other rabies virus (RABV) strains will be required in biological manufacturing and diagnostic service centers. In this study, we designed two specific primer sets for differentiation between ERAGS and other RABVs based on mutation in the RABV glycoprotein gene. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of the glycoprotein gene revealed two DNA bands of 383 bp and 583 bp in the ERAGS strain but a single DNA band of 383 bp in the field strains. The detection limits of multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were 80 and 8 FAID₅₀/reaction for the ERAGS and Evelyn-Rokitnicki-Abelseth strains, respectively. No cross-reactions were detected in the non-RABV reference viruses, including canine distemper virus, parvovirus, canine adenovirus type 1 and 2, and parainfluenza virus. The results of multiplex RT-PCR were 100% consistent with those of the fluorescent antibody test. Therefore, one-step multiplex RT-PCR is likely useful for differentiation between RABVs with and those without mutation at position 333 of the RABV glycoprotein gene.

본 연구에서는 SDS/polyacrylamide젤 전기영동과 2차원 전기영동을 사용하여 Gerris paludum(소금쟁이)의 난 형성 동안 난소 단백질과 혈림프 단백질을 비교하였다. 또한 난물질의 구성성분인 glycoprotein의 양상을 살펴 보았다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 난을 갖지 않는 5령의 난소 단백질의 양상을 성체의 산란 무 난소 단백질 퍼턴과 유사하였다. 난 발달동안의 난소의 단백질중 M.W 66,000-110,000 사이의 단백질이 난을 갖지 않은 난소 단백질에 비해 많은 양이 존재하였다. 난을 갖지 않은 난소에서는 glycoprotein은 나타나지 않았다. glycoprotein은 5령의 난 발달이 진행됩에 따라 점차적으로 증가하였다. 산란후 성체의 난소에서는 5령의 난을 갖지 않는 난소에서처럼 glycoprotein은 나타나지 않았다. 또한, M.W 66,000-110,000 사이의 혈림프 단백질은 5령의 난 형성 동안 양적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 난소 단백질 중 일부를 혈림프로부터 얻을 것이라는 사실을 제시하는 것이다. 발달하고 있는 난의 glycoprotein은 이 단계의 혈림프에서도 점차 증가하였다. 낮은 분자 영역에서 하나의 band (M.W. 9,500)가 난을 갖지 않는 5령과 성체의 혈림프에서 분리되었다. 이 단백질은 고분자량의 영역(M.W. 66,000-110,000)에서 나타나는 glycoprotein 전구체라고 생 각된다. 2차원 전기영동에서는 난을 갖지 않은 난소 단백질이 난을 가지고 있는 난소 단백질에 비해 적은 spots로 분리되었고 그 양도 적었다. M.W 45,000-110,000 사이의 band들은 2차원 전기영동에서 산성쪽으로 분리되어 나타났다. 특히, M.W. 102,000의 분자량을 가지는 band는 4개의 spots bl, b2, b3 및 b4로 분리되었다. 반면에 M.W 24,000이하의 단백질들은 산성쪽의 단백질보다 염기성쪽으로 분리되었다. Gepris paludum의 난황 형성과정에 있어서 세포내 기관(= 세포 소기관)의 기작이 난세포의 난황단백질 합성과 관계를 가지고 있었다.
