Antioxidants either scavenge superoxide and free radicals or stimulate the detoxification mechanisms within cells, resulting in increased detoxification of free radicals formation. Hyperin, isolated from the stem of Uncaria rhynchophylla, prevented oxygen radical formation and inhibited lipid oxidation. The effective concentrations were 31.3 $\mu$M for a radical scavenging assay and 2.2 $\mu$M for a microsome assay. cDNA microarray analysis to determine which genes were modulated by hyperin found that 50 genes were upregulated and 37 genes were downregulated in SNU-668 human gastric cancer cells. Among these genes, thirteen genes that were significantly affected by hyperin were verified by RT-PCR for their effect of genetic reprogramming.

Male germ cell apoptosis has been extensively explored in rodent. In contrast, very little is known about their susceptibility to apoptosis stimuli of developing germ cell stages at the time when germ cell depletion after busulfan treatment occurs. Furthermore, it is still unanswered how spermatogonial stem cells are resistant to busulfan treatment. We examined the change of gene expression in detail using cDNA microarray analysis of mouse testis treated with busulfan. A subtoxic dose of busulfan (40mg/kg of body weight) transiently increased 228 mRNA levels among of the 8000 genes analyzed. TagMan analysis confirmed that the mRNA levels such as defensive protein, support protein, enzymatic protein, transport protein, and hormonal protein were rapidly increased. These results were re-confirmed by real-time PCR analysis. However, the expression levels of these genes induced by busulfan treatment were significantly reduced in control testis, indicating that both of male germ cells and somatic cells after busulfan treatment induces self-defense mechanism for protection of testicular cell death. Among them, we conclude that defense proteins play a key role in testis injury induced by busulfan.

Troglitazone is an anti-diabetic agent that improves hyperglycemia by reducing peripheral insulin resistance in type II diabetic patients. Troglitazone has been shown to cause growth inhibition of various normal and cancerous cells. However, the molecular mechanism by which troglitazone affects the growth of these cancer cells remains unclear. Here, we report that troglitazone treatment of Hep 3B human hepatocellular carcinoma cells resulted in dose-dependent growth inhibition. Analysis of cell cycle distribution by flow cytometry showed that the number of apoptotic cells was increased in a dose-dependent manner in response to troglitazone treatment. cDNA microarray analysis showed a number of differentially expressed genes in response to troglitazone. Among the upregulated genes, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)-responsive RTP801 was induced in a dose-dependent manner. We also observed HIF-1 accumulation by immnocytochemistry after troglitazone treatment. These results strongly suggest that RTP801 might be involved in troglitazone-induced apoptosis in Hep 3B cells.

유채 종자 성숙단계별 변화하는 종자의 특성을 살펴본 결과, 개화 후 25일된 미성숙 종자에서 지방산 생성이 관찰되기 시작하였으며, 개화 후 35일된 미성숙 종자에서 지방산 생성이 거의 최고치에 달하는 것을 관찰하였으며, 이 때 백립중이 406 mg으로 가장 무거웠다. 유채 300k Microarray를 이용하여 유채 종자 성숙단계별 발현되는 유전자의 발현양상을 살펴보았다. 유채 300k Microarray는 NCBI에 등록되어 있는 543,448개의 ESTs와 780개의 cDNA정보를 군집 분석하여 80,696개의 유전자정보를 얻어 제작되었다. 개화 후 10, 25, 그리고 35일된 종자에서 total RNA를 분리하여 유채 300k Microarray 실험을 수행한 결과, 약 7,000개의 유전자에 해당하는 8.5%가 잎에 비해 종자(25DAF)에서 발현 양이 2배 이상 증가됨을 알 수 있었고, 10배 이상 증가하는 유전자 비율도 0.4%에 해당하였다. 종자 특이 발현 유전자의 발현양상을 보면, 초기에는 저장 및 세포분화 관련 유전자들의 발현 양이 높게 나타난 반면, 후기에는 지방산 대사 관련 유전자를 포함한 에너지 축적 관련 유전자들의 발현 양이 높게 나타나는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었으며, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction을 통해서 이를 확인하였다. 본 실험 결과는 종자 특이 발현 프로모터를 발굴하거나 특정 대사 기작 연구에 관여하는 유전자 발현 양상을 광범위하게 살펴봄으로써 좀 더 심도 있는 연구를 할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하는데 많은 도움이 될 거라 사료된다.
