  • I investigated the effect of KT5720, an inhibitor of protein kinase A, on the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection in BHK-21cell cultures. The virus inducted cytopathic effect (CPE) was almost completely suppressed by KT5720 at 5uM. The inhibitor, however, did not affect replication of the virus nor the synthesis of viral macromolecules. KT5720, did not block the cytoskeletal disruption, while the cell rounding was suppressed. And, the KT5720-sensitive function may be involved in developing the VSV-induced CPE, but not essential for the virus replications.

  • Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is a critical component of cytokine and growth factor signaling pathways regulating hematopoietic cell proliferation. JAK2 mutations are associated with multiple myeloproliferative neoplasms. Although physiological and pathological functions of JAK2 in hematopoietic tissues are well-known, such functions of JAK2 in the nervous system are not well studied yet. The present study demonstrated that JAK2 could negatively regulate neuronal differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Depletion of JAK2 stimulated neuronal differentiation of mouse ESCs and activated glycogen synthase kinase 3β, Fyn, and cyclin-dependent kinase 5. Knockdown of JAK2 resulted in accumulation of GTP-bound Rac1, a Rho GTPase implicated in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics. These findings suggest that JAK2 might negatively regulate neuronal differentiation by suppressing the GSK-3β/Fyn/CDK5 signaling pathway responsible for morphological maturation.

  • Objectives: Among many new drugs that are under investigation with intent to treat cancer, oral kinase inhibitors are proven to be effective in numerous clinical trials and easy to administer. Due to these advantages the use of oral kinase inhibitors is increasing. Oral kinase inhibitors are metabolized by CYP450 which can result either increase of adverse effect or decrease of drug effect by drug interaction when used concurrently with other agents. In this research, the medication records of patients on oral kinase inhibitors from Oct. 2010 to Nov. 2011 were reviewed to investigate potential drug interactions. Methods: From Oct. 2010 to Nov. 2011, cancer patients in Inha University Hospital who took oral kinase inhibitors more than once were included. The patients' medication records were reviewed to list out concurrent medications that have interaction potential with oral kinase inhibitors, the frequency of concurrent use, and the severity of interaction result using Micromedex$^{(R)}$ and Lexicomp-online$^{(R)}$ as references. Results: As a result, 90 cases of drug with interaction potential were prescribed by Micromedex$^{(R)}$ and 179 cases by Lexicomp-online$^{(R)}$ data. In case of severity, 33.3% by Micromedex$^{(R)}$ and 26.3% by Lexicomp-online$^{(R)}$ were categorized as Major and 65.6% by Micromedex$^{(R)}$ and 72.6% by Lexicomp-online$^{(R)}$ as Moderate. The number of adverse events was 92 cases which 58.7% were on skin and 19.6% on Gastro-intestinal tract. Conclusions: Considerable number of drug with interaction potential was used though each oral kinase inhibitors showed differences in extent. Hence there exists the risk of drug interaction in patients taking oral kinase inhibitors with other drugs.

  • Receptor activation of nuclear factor ${\kappa}$ B ligand (RANKL)은 파골세포의 분화와 기능에 중요한 역할을 하는 단백질로 이들 물질의 조절에는 p38 MAP kinase가 관여한다. 그러나 치주인대 섬유모세포에서 RANKL 발현 시 p38 MAP kinase의 역할은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이에 이번 연구는 마우스 치주인대 섬유모세포의 $IL-1{\beta}-induced$ RANKL 발현과정에서 p38의 역할을 규명하고자 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 마우스 치주인대 섬유모세포에 $IL-1{\beta}$ (1ng/ml)의 자극은 수용성 RANKL의 합성을 증가시켰다. 수용성 RANKL의 합성은 p38 MAP kinase 억제제인 SB203580에 의해 농도 의존적으로 억제되었으나 다른 MAP kinase 억제제인 SP600125, JNK 억제제와 PD98059, ERK 억제제에 의해서는 수용성 RANKL의 합성이 조절되지 않았다. NF-kB 억제제에 의해서도 수용성 RANKL의 합성이 억제되지 않았다. RANKL 유전자의 발현은 $IL-1{\beta}$로 자극 시에는 대조군에 비해 약 5배의 발현 증가를 보였으나 SB203580으로 전처치 시 $IL-1{\beta}$ (1ng/ml)로 자극시보다 약 1.5배의 감소를 보였다. 그러나 SP600125, PD98059, 및 NF-kB 억제제로 전처치한 경우에는 $IL-1{\beta}$로 자극한 경우와 비슷한 수준을 보였다. $IL-1{\beta}$로 자극 시 RANKL 유전자의 반감기가 90분 이었으나 SB203580로 전처치 후 $IL-1{\beta}$로 자극 시 RANKL 유전자의 반감기는 60분으로 감소하였다. Cycloheximide 전처리 시 SB203580에 의한 RANKL 유전자 발현 억제가 관찰되지 않았다. 단백질 분석결과 p38 MAP kinase의 인산화 활성은 30분까지 증가하였으나 그 이후 감소하여 2시간째에는 그 발현이 미약하였다. SB203580로 전처치 후 $IL-1{\beta}$로 자극 시 p38 MAP kinase의 인산화 활성이 감소하였다. 이상의 결과는 p38 MAP kinase가 RANKL 유전자 조절에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있음을 시사한다.

  • We have studied an activation mechanism of $pp60^{c-src}$ protein tyroslne kinase (PTK) by ginsenoside-$Rg_1$ (G-$Rg_1$ ) in NIH(pMcsrc/foc)B c-src overexpressor cells. It was previously reported that G--$Rg_1$ stimulated the activation of c-src kinase at 20 pM with a 18 hr-incubation, increasing the activity by 2-4-fold over that of untreated control, and this effect was blocked by treatments of in- hibitors of either protein synthesis (cycloheximide) or RNA synthesis (actinomycin D) (Hong, H.Y. et at. Arch. Pharm. Res. 16, 114 (1993)). However, an amount of c-src protein itself in wild-type cells was not changed by G-$Rg_1$. When the cells mutated at one or two tyrosine residue(s) (Y416/527) that are important sites to regulate the kinase activity were treated with G-$Rg_1$, increases both in the activity of c-src kinase and in the expression of the protein were not observed. In addition, removal of extracellular calcium ion by EGTA or inhibition of PKC by H-7 canceled the G-$Rg_1$-induced activation of the kinase. Although the activation was little affected by G-$Rg_1$ with a calcium ionophore A23187, it was synergistically stimulated by treatment of G-Rgl and PMA, a PKC activator. Taken together, these results suggest that the activation of c-src kinase by G-$Rg_1$ is caused by an increase in the specific activity of the kinase, but not in amount of it, and is involved with both collular calcium ion and PKC. Further the increase in the specific activity of c-src kinase may result from altered phosphorylation at tyro-416 and -527.

  • The present study was done to examine the involvement of protein kinase C and protein tyrosine kinase in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization in C5a-stimulated neutrophils. Although protein kinase C inhibitors, staurosporine and H-7 inhibited intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release in C5a-stimulated neutrophils, they did not affect $Ca^{2+}$ influx across the plasma membrane and elevation of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ C5a-induced intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release and $Ca^{2+}$ influx were inhibited by protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate. ADP-evoked elevation of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was inhibited by genistein and methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate but was not affectd by staurosporine and H-7. Genistein and methyl-2,5-dihydroxycinnamate reduced the store-regulated $Ca^{2+}$ influx in thapsigargin-treated neutrophils, while the effect of staurosporine and H-7 was not detected. When neutrophils were preincubated wih phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, the stimulatory effect of C5a on the elevation of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was reduced. These results suggest that protein tyrosine kinase may be involved in control of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release and $Ca^{2+}$ influx across the plasma membrane in C5a-activated neutrophils.

  • Background : Normal cell proliferation and viability is strongly depends on the availability of metabolic energy and the maintenance of the appropriate adenylate-nucleotide pools. Hypothetically, changes in adenylate kinase (AK) expression could therefore be associated with adaptation to altered growth characteristics or inversely altered growth characteristics of proliferating cells could drive the changes in the metabolic profile. This study investigated whether the expression of either AK1 or a Mycobacterium tuberculosis adenylate kinase mutant which has the same catalytic activity of AK1 could affect the growth rate of slow-growing BCG. Method : Recombinant BCGs, which were cloned the human muscle-type adenylate kinase synthetic gene (AK1) and adenylate kinase mutation gene (AKmtDM) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the Mycobacterium/E.coli expression vectors, were constructed. Recombinant BCGs and wild-type BCG were cultured in 7H9 media and the optical density at 600nm was measured at intervals of 2-3 days. Result : There wasn't the growth rate change induced by AK1 or AKmtDM expression in recombinant BCGs. Conclusion : The expression of AK1 or Mycobacterium tuberculosis adenylate kinase mutant in BCG does not affect the growth rate of BCG.

  • The rat RBL-2H3 mast cells contain various Src-family kinases. Previous reports with this cell line indicated that Lyn activation is an important initial signaling for the activation of the cells. However, the role and location of other Src-family kinase isoforms which are expressed in the cells are not clear. In this study, we now show that isoforms of Src-family kinases, Lyn, fyn, Fgr, c-Src, and Yes are differentially expressed and located differently in the cells as indicated by RT-PCR, immunoblotting analysis, and confocal microscopy. Lyn and Fgr were located on plasma membrane but on the other hand c-Src and Yes were located on intracellular organelle. All of Src-family kinases were cloned and overexpressed for investigating the roles of the isoforms. Overexpression of Fyn and Fgr, not Lyn and c-Src, stimulated Ag-induced degranulation in the cells. Our findings strongly suggest for the first time that each of Src-family kinase isoform can regulate differentially $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$-mediated signaling in RBL-2H3 mast cells.

  • To investigate the region of ErbB2 for the $ErbB2-{\beta}-catenin$ interaction, a proteasome $resistant-{\beta}-catenin$ and various ErbB2 constructs were transfected in COS7 cells. ErbB2 proteins were immunoprecipitated, and coimmunoprecipitated ${\beta}-catenin$ was examined by Western blotting. ${\beta}-catenin$ coimmunoprecipitated with full length ErbB2. Of the truncated ErbB2 proteins DT (1-1123), DHC (1-1031) and DK (1-750), the ErbB2 constructs containing the kinase domain, DT and DHC, precipitated together with ${\beta}-catenin$ but DK containing no kinase domain did not. To further test the requirement of the kinase domain for ${\beta}-catenin-ErbB2$ interaction, the presence of ${\beta}-catenin$ in the immunocomplex was examined following transfection with an ErbB2 mutant (${\triangle}750-971$) whose kinase domain is internally deleted and subsequent immunoprecipitation of the ErbB2 mutant. ${\beta}-catenin$ was not detected in the immunocomplex. These results suggest that the ErbB2 kinase domain comprises a potential site for ${\beta}-catenin$ binding to the receptor tyrosine kinase.

  • The one event on signalling mechanism is the cleavage by adenyl cyclase of ATP into second messenger, cyclic AMP. The other transfer system of inositol metabolism. it is widely recognized that hydrolysis of the minor membrane lipid phosphoinositide bisphosphate($PIP_2$) initiated by occupation of certain receptors and catalyzed by phospholipase C, lead to toe generation of the two intracellular messengers, inositol triphosphate($IP_3$) and diacylglycerol(DG). $IP_3$ is converted to inositol tetrakisphosphate($IP_4$) by $IP_3$ kinase. In the present study, it is that purification of calmodulin is used by phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B chromatography. it's molecular weigh, 17.000 in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In order to observe the affinity between calmodulin (CaM)-Affigel 15 and $IP_3$ kinase, and isolated $IP_3$ kinase, was applied in CaM-Affigel with $Ca^{2+}$ equilibirum buffer and EGTA equilibirum buffer. We compared with binding and elution effect of $IP_3$ kinase in several condition of buffer. In affinity of binding. $Ca^{2+}$ equilibrium buffer was in the most proper condition. and elution, CaM/$Ca^{2+}$ buffer(CE1 10.36, CE2 12. 76pM/min/mg of protein) was effected much more than EGTA buffer(E2 1.48, E3 2.43pM/min/mg of protein), but CaM/$Ca^{2+}$ stimulate the activity of $IP_3$ kinase. And then, several detergents such as sodium deoxycholate, tween 20. cholic acid, polyethylene glycol, chaps were applied. The 0.2% chaps buffer(E2 23.19, E3 8.05pM/min/mg of protein) was the most effective in elution of $IP_3$ kinase.
