조혈촉진 cytokine인 Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)는 골수세포를 자극하여 granulocyte로 증식, 분화시키는 기능을 가지며, 현재 아주 고가의 치료제로 사용되고 있다. 인간 G-CSF (hG-CSF)를 아직 시도되지 않은 누에 유래 세포주인 BM5 세포에서 발현시키고 생산 효율을 높이기 위해 hG-CSF cDNA를 변형하였다. hG-CSF의 cDNA의 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) signal sequence 부분을 누에의 소포체에서 분비되는 단백질인 prophenoloxidase (PPAE), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)와 bombyxin (BX)에서 유래한 누에특이 ER signal sequence로 대체한 hG-CSF의 cDNA 함유 벡터를 구축하였다. 이들 벡터를 사용하여 형질전환한 BM5 세포의 배양액에 분비된 G-CSF 단백질을 western blot으로 분석하여 발현을 확인하였다. 누에특이 ER signal sequence들로 대체된 hG-CSF cDNA를 포함하는 벡터에 의한 hG-CSF 단백질 생산이 인간 G-CSF cDNA가 든 벡터에 의한 hG-CSF의 생산보다 월등히 효율적이었다. 또한, PPAE-signal sequence를 포함하는 hG-CSF 단백질은 배양배지에서 형질전환 4일 후에 최고에 달하였고, 7 일째까지 비슷한 양이 배지 내에서 검출되었다. 이상의 결과는 인간유래 유전자가 곤충세포 내에서 발현 될 때 인간유래 유전자 보다는 곤충 유전자발현 시스템에 맞게 변형했을 경우 더 효율적인 단백질 발현을 얻을 수 있음을 보여 준다.

새로운 $CaZrO_3:Er^{3+}$ 축광성 형광체를 전통적인 고상반응법으로 제조하였으며, 분쇄한 축광성 형광체를 X 선 회절 분석, 광발광 분석, 열발광 분석과 휘도계를 통하여 장잔광 특성을 분석하였다. X 선 회절 분석 결과 순수한 $CaZrO_3$ 결정상을 확인 하였으며, 고온의 질소 분위기에서 합성한 경우 446 nm 와 550 nm의 넓은 발광 피크가 나타났다. 합성한 장잔광 특성의 형광체의 발광 지속시간은 254 nm UV lamp로 여기 시킨 후 어두운 곳에서 6시간 이상 스스로 발광 하였다. 발광 피크는 $Er^{3+}$ 이온의 $^5D_{5/2}{\rightarrow}^4F_{9/2},\;^2H_{12/2},\;^4S_{3/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{13/2}$ 그리고 $^2G_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^4I_{13/2}$ 전이에 의한 것이며, 잔광 특성은 $CaZrO_3$ 격자 내에 적당한 trap center가 형성 된 것으로 판단된다.

We examine the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor treatment time on the in vitro development of porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. Porcine SCNT embryos were classified by four groups following treatment time of ER stress inhibitor, tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA; 100 µM); 1) non-treatment group (control), 2) treatment during micromanipulation process and for 3 h after fusion (NT+3 h group), 3) treatment only during in vitro culture after fusion (IVC group), and 4) treatment during micromanipulation process and in vitro culture (NT+IVC group). SCNT embryos were cultured for six days to examine the X-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1) splicing levels, the expression levels of ER stress-associated genes, oxidative stress-related genes, and apoptosis-related genes in blastocysts, and in vitro development. There was no significant difference in Xbp1 splicing level among all groups. Reduced expression of some ER stress-associated genes was observed in the treatment groups. The oxidative stress and apoptosis-related genes were significantly lower in all treatment groups than control (p<0.05). Although blastocyst development rates were not different among all groups (17.5% to 21.7%), the average cell number in blastocysts increased significantly in NT+3 h (48.5±2.3) and NT+IVC (47.7±2.4) groups compared to those of control and IVC groups (p<0.05). The result of this study suggests that the treatment of ER stress inhibitor on SCNT embryos from the micromanipulation process can improve the reprogramming efficiency of SCNT embryos by inhibiting the ER and oxidative stresses that may occur early in the SCNT process.

Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene helps to regulate energy homeostasis in mammals by controlling energy expenditure. In addition, FTO functions in the regulation of obesity and adipogenic differentiation; however, a role in osteogenic differentiation is unknown. This study investigated the effects of FTO on osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells and the underlying mechanism. Expression of osteogenic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers were characterized by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was performed to assess ALP activity. BMP2 treatment increased mRNA expression of osteogenic genes and FTO. Overexpression of FTO increased expression of the osteogenic genes distal-less homeobox5 (Dlx5) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). Activation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) increased FTO expression, and there was a positive feedback loop between FTO and p-AMPK. p-AMPK and FTO induced mild ER stress; however, tunicamycin-induced severe ER stress suppressed FTO expression and AMPK activation. In summary, FTO induces osteogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells upon BMP2 treatment by inducing mild ER stress via a positive feedback loop with p-AMPK. FTO expression and AMPK activation induce mild ER stress. By contrast, severe ER stress inhibits osteogenic differentiation by suppressing FTO expression and AMPK activation.

Ethylene was released from leaf and fruit but root of Panax ginseng. Root callus showed higher ethylene release (ER) than fruit ER increased with leaf senesence. Fruit during ripening showed decreasing ER in the order of green stage, early stage of reddening and fully ripened stage. between leaves from the plant with fruits in different stages of ripening showed similar trend of fruit in ER but it was about 10 times higher in leaves than in fruits. Leaves of P. quinquefolius showed about 200 times higher ER than that of P ginseng on 22 July Fruits from the plant treated with ethephon showed higher ER after 109 days. Forty-five day-old seedlings grown with various growth regulators showed a significant decrease of stem length and significant increase of ER only in Uniconazole (0.1 ppm) and H-9 (0.0, 5 ppm) solution.

Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals were synthesized by pulsed laser ablations in de-ionized water and sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaC12H25SO4, SDS) aqueous solution for up-conversion (UC) luminescence bio-labeling applications. The influences of the SDS molecules on the crystallinities, crystal morphologies, crystallite sizes, and UC luminescence properties of the prepared Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals were investigated in detail. Under a 980-nm excitation, the Er3+/Yb3+-codoped nanocolloidal NaLa(MoO4)2 suspension exhibited a weak red emission near 670 nm and strong green UC emissions at 530 and 550 nm, corresponding to the intra 4f transitions of Er3+ (4F9/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2) → Er3+ (4I15/2). When the SDS solution was used, a smaller average crystallite size, narrower size distribution, and enhanced UC luminescence were observed. These characteristics were attributed to the amphoteric SDS molecules attached to the positively charged Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals, effectively occupying the oxygen defect on their surfaces. The Er3+/Yb3+-codoped nanocrystalline NaLa(MoO4)2 suspension prepared in the SDS solution exhibited a remarkably strong green emission visible to the naked eyes.

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, inhibits the secretion of proteins and causes the redistribution of resident Golgi proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In this study, the effect of NDGA on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) secretion was investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and compared with those of brefeldin A (BFA), a well-known fungal metabolite that exhibits similar ER-Golgi redistribution. Both BFA and NDGA blocked secretions of LPL. In the presence of BFA, the active and dimeric LPL was accumulated in adipocytes. After endoglycosidase H (endo H) digestion, the proportion of LPL subunits with partially endo H-sensitive oligosaccharide was significantly increased with BFA. However, in the presence of NDGA, the cellular LPL became inactive, and only the endo H-sensitive fraction of the LPL subunit was observed. An increase of the aggregated forms was observed in the fractions of the sucrose-density gradient ultracentrifugation. These properties of LPL in the NDGA-treated cells were similar to those of LPL that is retained in ER, and the effects of NDGA could not be reversed by BFA. These results indicate that the inhibitory mechanism of NDGA on the LPL secretion is functionally different from the ER-Golgi redistribution that is induced by BFA.
