목 적 : Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)의 활성 대사산물인 (MPA는 IMPDH의 잠재적인 반응 억제제로써 새로운 면역치료제로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 MPA는 신경계에서 흥분독성 손상 후 뇌세포를 보호하고, 미세아교세포에서는 세포사멸사(apoptosis)를 유도하지만, 저산소성 허혈성 뇌질환에서 MPA의 효과는 아직 알려지지 않아, 본 연구에서 Rice-Vannucci 모델을 이용한 신생 백서의 저산소성 허혈성 뇌 손상과 저산소 상태의 태아 백서 뇌세포 배양에서 MPA의 뇌보호 효과를 알아보고자 실험하였다. 방 법 : 생후 7일된 백서의 좌측 총 경동맥을 결찰한 후 저산소 (8% $O_2$) 상태에서 2시간 노출하여, 저산소성 허혈성 뇌 손상을 유발하고 뇌 손상 전후에 MPA(10 mg/kg)를 투여하여 대조군과 비교하였다. 또한, 재태기간 18일된 태아 백서의 대뇌피질 세포를 배양하여 1% $O_2$ 배양기에서 저산소 상태로 세포손상을 유도하여 저산소군, 손상 전후 MPA 투여군($10{\mu}g/mL$)으로 나누어 정상산소군과 비교하였다. 세포사멸사와의 관련을 알아보기 위해서 Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3 항체로 western blotting하였고 Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3 primer를 이용하여 real-time PCR을 하였다. 결 과 : 형태학적으로 H&E 염색상 MPA를 투여한 군에서 뇌 보호 효과를 보였다. Western blotting과 real-time PCR을 이용한 저산소성 허혈성 뇌손상 동물 모델뿐만 아니라 저산소 상태로 태아 백서 뇌세포 배양 실험에서도 MPA 투여한 경우 caspase-3의 발현과 Bax/Bcl-2의 비율이 감소함을 보였다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 MPA가 anti-apoptosis 작용을 통하여 주산기 저산소성 허혈성 뇌 손상에 뇌보호 역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었고 향후 신생아 저산소성 허혈성 뇌병증의 치료에 임상적 적용이 가능하리라 생각된다.

가능한 한 대량의 균주를 테스트하여 고생산성을 지닌 균주를 신속히 선별하기 위해서는 소규모 액상배양 방법의 확립이 필수적인데, 강력한 지질저하제인 monacolin-K의 생산균주인 균사형성 Monascus의 경우 포자나 균사체의 형성이 활발하지 않은 배양 생리적 특성으로 인해 소규모 (miniature) 액상배양이 매우 어려운 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 monacolin-K 고생산성 균주개량의 효율성을 큰 폭으로 증가시키고자, 기존의 플라스크 액상배양 방법을 소규모화시킨 tube 배양 방법을 개발함으로써 단기간에 보다 많은 양의 균주를 테스트하고자 하였다. 이차대사산물인 monacolin-K의 생합성은 각각의 배양단계에서의 생산균주의 배양형태가 중요한데, 특별히 최종 생산배양에서 생산성 증가에 심각한 영향을 미치는 배양형태인 직경 1 mm 이하의 pellet 모양을 유도하기 위해서는 성장배양 시에 반드시 고농도의 균사모양이 유도되어야 하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 50 ml tube (7 ml의 조업부피)를 이용하는 소규모 액상 성장배양의 경우 solid seed 배양 단계에서의 포자형성배지의 조성을 통계적 방법을 통해 최적화하고, 또한 성장배지 성분에 brown rice 가루 20 g/L를 첨가할 때, 원하는 균사모양의 배양형태가 유도됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 7 ml의 조업부피의 tube를 이용한 소규모 성장배양 방법의 개발로 인해, 기존의 flask 배양을 이용할 때보다 단기간에 훨씬 많은 변이주의 생산성을 조사하게 되어 균주개량 속도를 큰 폭으로 향상시킬 수는 있었으나, 선별된 개별 균주의 monacolin-K의 생산성은 오히려 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이러한 결과는 소규모 배양방법을 확립하기 위해 새로이 개발한 포자형성배지와 성장배지의 조성변화로 인해 기존에 확립된 생산배지에서는 생산균주의 monacolin-K 생합성 능력이 최대로 발휘되지 않았기 때문에 발생한 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 확립된 소규모 성장배양에 적합한 최적의 생산배지 조성을 확립하고자 통계적 방법인 Plackett-Burman design을 적용하여 monacolin-K 생산성 향상에 영향을 주는 glycerol, malt extract, yeast extract, brown rice의 4가지 성분들을 최종 선별하였고, 또한 이들의 최적농도 결정을 위해 반응표면분석 실험을 수행하였다. 이와 같이 결정된 최적 생산배지를 사용하여 생산배양을 수행한 결과, monacolin-K의 생산성이 2배 이상 증가하고, 배양 형태 또한 용존산소와 영양분의 전달이 매우 용이한 직경 1mm 이하의 pellet 모양을 유지함을 확인할 수 있었다.

곰팡이 균인 Aspergillus terreus로서 고지혈증인 치료제인 lovastatin을 생산하기 위해 탄소원 조절에 의한 유가식 배양을 통해 lovastatin 생산 발효 조건을 확립하고자 하였다. 또한 발효시 곰팡이의 형태구조가 이차대사산물 생산에 중요함으로 유가식 배양에서의 공급배지농도와 공급속도에 따른 형태 구조의 변화가 생산성과 관련이 있는지를 구명하였다. Glucose 용액을 일정하게 또는 증가시켜 공급하는 방법을 실험하였으며 이 때 펠 의 분포를 비교하였다. Glucose 용액을 일정하게 공급한 경우가 1 mm 이하의 펠 이 더 많이 분포하였으며, lovastatin 생산량도 높았다. Lovastatin 생산에 적절한 펠 의 크기가 1 mm이었다는 연구 결과와 일치하였다. 또한 배양 방법 중 3일간 회분 배양 후 4일째부터 glucose를 일정하게 공급한 경우에서 높은 lovastatin 생산량을 나타내었다. 회분식 발효에서 lovastatin 생산을 위한 물리적 조건 중 교반 속도는 400 rpm으로 조절하였고 pH에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 pH 5.8로 유지하였을 때 lovastatin 생산량은 pH 7.4의 7배 이상인 384 mg/L로서 발효 기간 중 pH 조절이 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 플라스크에서의 유가식 배양과 회분식 배양결과를 토대로 하여 발효조에서 유가식 배양시 pH 5.8, 400 rpm, 초기 glucose 농도를 30 g/L 로 하여 3일간 회분 배양 후 4일째부터 180 g/L의 glucose 용액을 공급한 결과, 회분식 배양의 lovastatin 생산량보다 1.5배 많은 547 mg/L를 얻었으며, 생산성은 3.25 mg/L $\cdot$ hr였다.

In order to elucidate the physiological function of circulating IGF-I on muscle protein synthesis in the chicken under malnutritional conditions, we administrated recombinant chicken IGF-I using a osmotic mini pump to fasted young chickens and measured the rate of muscle protein synthesis and plasma metabolite. The pumps delivered IGF-I at the rate of $22{\mu}g/d\{300{\mu}g{\cdot}(kg\;body\;weight{\cdot}d)^{-1}\}$. Fractional rate of protein synthesis in the muscle was measured using a large dose injection of L-[$2,6-^3H$]phenylalanine. Constant infusion of chicken IGF-I did not affect plasma glucose level. Significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion was observed in plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. When chicks were fasted, IGF-I infusion decreased plasma NEFA and total cholesterol concentrations. On the other hand, IGF-I administration did not affect plasma levels of both metabolites. Fasting reduced plasma triglyceride concentration significantly. IGF-I infusion also decreased the level of plasma triglyceride. Plasma IGF-I concentration of young chickens was halved by fasting for 1 d. IGF-I infusion using an osmotic minipump for 1 d increased plasma IGF-I concentration in fasted chicks to the level of fed chicks. Fasting decreased body weight and the loss of body weight was significantly ameliorated by IGF-I infusion. There was a significant interaction between dietary treatment and IGF-I infusion in the fractional rate of breast muscle protein synthesis. There was no effect of IGF-I infusion on muscle protein synthesis in fed chicks. Muscle protein synthesis reduced by fasting was ameliorated by IGF-I infusion, but did not reach to the level of fed control. Muscle weight of fasted chicks infused with IGF-I was similar to fasted birds without IGF-I infusion, which suggests that muscle protein degradation would be increased by IGF-I infusion as well as protein synthesis in fasted chicks.

Nitropyrene, the predominant nitropolycyclic hydrocarbon found in diesel exhaust, is a mutagenic and tumorigenic environmental pollutant that requires metabolic activation via nitroreduction and ring oxidation. In order to determine the role of ring oxidation in the mutagenicity of 1-nitropyrene, its oxidative metabolites, 1-nitropyrene 4,5-oxide and 1-nitropyrene 9,10-oxide, were synthesized and their mutation spectra were determined in the coding region of hprt gene of CHO cells by a PCR amplification of reverse-transcribed hprt mRNA, followed by a DNA sequence analysis. A comparison of the two metabolites for mutation frequencies showed that 1-nitropyrene 9,10-oxide was 2-times higher than 1-nitropyrene 4,5-oxide. The mutation spectrum for 1-nitropyrene 4,5-oxide was base substitutions (33/49), one base deletions (11/49) and exon deletions (5/49). In the case of 1-nitropyrene 9,10-oxide, base substitutions (27/50), one base deletions (15/50), and exon deletions (8/50) were observed. Base substitutions were distributed randomly throughout the hprt gene. The majority of the base substitutions in mutant from 1-nitropyrene 4,5-oxide treated cells were $A{\rightarrow}G$ transition (15/33) and $G{\rightarrow}A$ transition (8/33). The predominant base substitution, $A{\rightarrow}G$ transition (11/27) and $G{\rightarrow}A$ transition (8/27), were also observed in mutant from 1-nitropyrene 9,10-oxide treated cells. The mutation at the site of adenine and guanine was consistent with the previous results, where the sites of DNA adduct formed by these compounds were predominant at the sites of purines. A comparison of the mutational patterns between 1-nitropyrene 4,5-oxide and 1-nitropyrene 9,10-oxide showed that there were no significant differences in the overall mutational spectrum. These results indicate that each oxidative metabolite exhibits an equal contribution to the mutagenicity of 1-nitropyrene, and ring oxidation of 1-nitropyrene is an important metabolic pathway to the formation of significant lethal DNA lesions.

A qualitative and quantitative analytical method was developed for detection of methamphetamine (MA) and its main metabolite amphetamine (AM) in oral fluid. Oral fluids of eleven drug abusers were provided by Police, specimens were collected by stimulation with a cotton swab treated with 20 mg of citric acid ($Salivette^{(R)}$; Sarstedt, USA). As the preliminary test, oral fluid samples were screened for amphetamines by Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (TDxFLx, Abbott Co.). Extraction for MA was performed using solid-phase extraction (SPE) by $RapidTrace^{TM}$ (Zymark, USA) with mixed mode cation exchange cartridge, CLEAN $SCREEN^{(R)}$ (130 mg/3 ml, UCT) after dilution with phosphate buffer. Samples were evaporated and derivatized by pentafluoropropionic acid anhydride (PFPA). Quantitation of MA and AM was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using selective ion monitoring (SIM), the quantitation ions were m/z 204 (MA), 208 (MA-$D_5$), 190 (AM) and 194 (AM-$D_5$). The selectivity, linearity of calibration, limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) within- and between day precision, accuracy and recoveries were examined as parts of the method validation. All oral fluid samples gave positive results to immunoassay for MA (cut-off level, 50 ng/ml as d-amphetamine). Concentrations of MA and AM by GC-MS in eleven samples were ranged 104.2${\sim}$4603.3 ng/ml and 32.4${\sim}$268.6 ng/ml, respectively. Extracted calibration curves of MA and AM were linear over the two concentration range of 1${\sim}$100 and 50${\sim}$1000 ng/ml with correlation coefficient of above 0.999. LOQ of MA and AM was 1 and 3 ng/ml, respectively. The intraand inter-day run precisions (CV) for MA and AM were less than 10%, and the accuracies (bias) for MA and AM were also less than 10% at the two different concentrations 5 and 100 ng/ml at low calibration range, 50 and 1000 ng/ml at high calibration range. The absolute recoveries of MA and AM at low and high calibration ranges were more than 82% and 75%, respectively. In this study the qualitative and quantitative analytical method of MA in oral fluid was established. Oral fluid testing may detect drug use in past hours because of its shorter detection window than urine, and be useful in post-accident situations. So oral fluids will be most useful for testing drug abuse in the driving under the influence of drug (DUID) as the alternative specimens of urine.

본 연구는 3,3'-diindolylmethane(DIM)이 인간전립선암 세포인 PC3 세포와 DU145 세포의 부착, 이동, 침윤에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. DIM은 PC3와 DU145 세포의 부착을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 24시간동안 DIM으로 PC3 세포를 전 처리한 후 부착실험을 한 결과 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 그러나 암세포가 부착 시 DIM의 암세포 부착 억제가 전처리에 의한 부착 억제보다 효과적이었다. DIM은 인간 전립선암세포의 이동과 침윤도 억제하였으며 24시간 동안 PC3 세포를 DIM으로 전처리를 했을 때도 침윤 억제효과를 나타내었다. 또한 DIM의 억제효과는 세포주에 따라 다소 다른 경향을 보여 PC3 세포에 대한 억제효과가 DU145 세포에 대한 억제효과보다 큰 것으로 관찰되었다. DIM은 $150{\mu}M$ 까지 세포 독성이 관찰되지 않은 것으로 보고되고 있으므로 본 연구결과 DIM은 세포 독성이 없는 수준에서 인간 전립선암 세포인 PC3와 DU145 세포의 부착, 이동, 침윤을 효과적으로 억제하여 전립선암 전이 억제제로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Clubroot disease of crucifers has occurred since 1957. It has spread to the whole China, especially in the southwest and nourtheast where it causes 30-80% loss in some fields. The disease has being expanded in the recent years as seeds are imported and the floating seedling system practices. For its effective control, the Ministry of Agriculture of China set up a program in 2010 and a research team led by Dr. Yueqiu HE, Yunnan Agricultural University. The team includes 20 main reseachers of 11 universities and 5 institutions. After 5 years, the team has made a lot of progresses in disease occurrence regulation, resources collection, resistance identification and breeding, biological agent exploration, formulation, chemicals evaluation, and control strategy. About 1200 collections of local and commercial crucifers were identified in the field and by artificiall inoculation in the laboratories, 10 resistant cultivars were breeded including 7 Chinese cabbages and 3 cabbages. More than 800 antagostic strains were isolated including bacteria, stretomyces and fungi. Around 100 chemicals were evaluated in the field and greenhouse based on its control effect, among them, 6 showed high control effect, especially fluazinam and cyazofamid could control about 80% the disease. However, fluzinam has negative effect on soil microbes. Clubroot disease could not be controlled by bioagents and chemicals once when the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae infected its hosts and set up the parasitic relationship. We found the earlier the pathogent infected its host, the severer the disease was. Therefore, early control was the most effective. For Chinese cabbage, all controlling measures should be taken in the early 30 days because the new infection could not cause severe symptom after 30 days of seeding. For example, a biocontrol agent, Bacillus subtilis Strain XF-1 could control the disease 70%-85% averagely when it mixed with seedling substrate and was drenching 3 times after transplanting, i.e. immediately, 7 days, 14 days. XF-1 has been deeply researched in control mechanisms, its genome, and development and application of biocontrol formulate. It could produce antagonistic protein, enzyme, antibiotics and IAA, which promoted rhizogenesis and growth. Its The genome was sequenced by Illumina/Solexa Genome Analyzer to assembled into 20 scaffolds then the gaps between scaffolds were filled by long fragment PCR amplification to obtain complet genmone with 4,061,186 bp in size. The whole genome was found to have 43.8% GC, 108 tandem repeats with an average of 2.65 copies and 84 transposons. The CDSs were predicted as 3,853 in which 112 CDSs were predicted to secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism. Among those, five NRPS/PKS giant gene clusters being responsible for the biosynthesis of polyketide (pksABCDEFHJLMNRS in size 72.9 kb), surfactin(srfABCD, 26.148 kb, bacilysin(bacABCDE 5.903 kb), bacillibactin(dhbABCEF, 11.774 kb) and fengycin(ppsABCDE, 37.799 kb) have high homolgous to fuction confirmed biosynthesis gene in other strain. Moreover, there are many of key regulatory genes for secondary metabolites from XF-1, such as comABPQKX Z, degQ, sfp, yczE, degU, ycxABCD and ywfG. were also predicted. Therefore, XF-1 has potential of biosynthesis for secondary metabolites surfactin, fengycin, bacillibactin, bacilysin and Bacillaene. Thirty two compounds were detected from cell extracts of XF-1 by MALDI-TOF-MS, including one Macrolactin (m/z 441.06), two fusaricidin (m/z 850.493 and 968.515), one circulocin (m/z 852.509), nine surfactin (m/z 1044.656~1102.652), five iturin (m/z 1096.631~1150.57) and forty fengycin (m/z 1449.79~1543.805). The top three compositions types (contening 56.67% of total extract) are surfactin, iturin and fengycin, in which the most abundant is the surfactin type composition 30.37% of total extract and in second place is the fengycin with 23.28% content with rich diversity of chemical structure, and the smallest one is the iturin with 3.02% content. Moreover, the same main compositions were detected in Bacillus sp.355 which is also a good effects biocontol bacterial for controlling the clubroot of crucifer. Wherefore those compounds surfactin, iturin and fengycin maybe the main active compositions of XF-1 against P. brassicae. Twenty one fengycin type compounds were evaluate by LC-ESI-MS/MS with antifungal activities, including fengycin A $C_{16{\sim}C19}$, fengycin B $C_{14{\sim}C17}$, fengycin C $C_{15{\sim}C18}$, fengycin D $C_{15{\sim}C18}$ and fengycin S $C_{15{\sim}C18}$. Furthermore, one novel compound was identified as Dehydroxyfengycin $C_{17}$ according its MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectral data, which molecular weight is 1488.8480 Da and formula $C_{75}H_{116}N_{12}O_{19}$. The fengycin type compounds (FTCPs $250{\mu}g/mL$) were used to treat the resting spores of P. brassicae ($10^7/mL$) by detecting leakage of the cytoplasm components and cell destruction. After 12 h treatment, the absorbencies at 260 nm (A260) and at 280 nm (A280) increased gradually to approaching the maximum of absorbance, accompanying the collapse of P. brassicae resting spores, and nearly no complete cells were observed at 24 h treatment. The results suggested that the cells could be lyzed by the FTCPs of XF-1, and the diversity of FTCPs was mainly attributed to a mechanism of clubroot disease biocontrol. In the five selected medium MOLP, PSA, LB, Landy and LD, the most suitable for growth of strain medium is MOLP, and the least for strains longevity is the Landy sucrose medium. However, the lipopeptide highest yield is in Landy sucrose medium. The lipopeptides in five medium were analyzed with HPLC, and the results showed that lipopeptides component were same, while their contents from B. subtilis XF-1 fermented in five medium were different. We found that it is the lipopeptides content but ingredients of XF-1 could be impacted by medium and lacking of nutrition seems promoting lipopeptides secretion from XF-1. The volatile components with inhibition fungal Cylindrocarpon spp. activity which were collect in sealed vesel were detected with metheds of HS-SPME-GC-MS in eight biocontrol Bacillus species and four positive mutant strains of XF-1 mutagenized with chemical mutagens, respectively. They have same main volatile components including pyrazine, aldehydes, oxazolidinone and sulfide which are composed of 91.62% in XF-1, in which, the most abundant is the pyrazine type composition with 47.03%, and in second place is the aldehydes with 23.84%, and the third place is oxazolidinone with 15.68%, and the smallest ones is the sulfide with 5.07%.
