Objectives : Increasing evidence has linked chronic inflammation to a number of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease(AD), Parkinson's disease(PD) and Huntington's disease(HD) in the inflammatory process. Uncontrolled activation of microglia may directly toxic to neurons by releasing various substances such as inflammatory cytokines ($TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6), NO, PEG2 and superoxide. In this study, the immunomodulatory effects of the herbal extract Panax notoginseng on cultured BV2 microglial cells and primary microglia were investigated to address potential therapeutic or toxic effects. Notoginseng radix extracts extracted from the root of the plant using Methanol. Methods : Cells were stimulated with LPS and treated with notoginseng at different concentrations. Results : Notoginseng significantly decreased LPS-induced production of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 by the cultured microglial cells in a dose-dependent manner. The activation of iNOS mRNA and secretion of nitric oxide(NO) in microglial cells were inhibited in microglial cells in a dose-dependent manner by notoginseng. Conclusion : These results indicate that notoginseng inhibits LPS-induced activation of microglial cells and demonstrates notoginseng possess anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties in vitro.

락토페린은 철 결합 당단백질로서 항 미생물활성과 면역강화와 같은 생리활성 기능을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 배양 세포 고 발현 SWPA2 promoter를 이용하여 인체락토페린(hLf)을 생산하는 형질전환 가시오갈피 배양세포주 개발에 관한 것이다. 형질전환에 이용된 벡터는 산화스트레스 유도성 SWPA2 promoter의 조절 하에서 hLf이 소포체로 targeting되도록 제작된 SWPA2pro::ER-hLf/pCAMBIA이다. hLf을 생산하는 각 형질전환 배양세포들은 PCR과 Southern분석을 통해 hLf 유전자가 가시오갈피 게놈내로 성공적으로 도입되었음을 확인하였으며, western blot과 ELISA를 통해 형질전환 가시오갈피 배양 세포주에서 hLf 단백질이 활성이 있음을 확인하였다. 형질전환 가시오갈피 배양세포에서 hLf 단백질의 함량은 세포배양이 진행될수록 증가하여 정지기 때 가장 높았으며 전체 수용성 단백질의 약 3%를 차지하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 인체락토페린을 고생산하는 약용식물 가시오갈피 배양 세포주는 산업적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

During the past two decades, China has seen her great progress in plant biotechnology. Since the Chinese market of herb medicine is huge, while the plant resources are shrinking, particular emphasis has been placed in plant tissue and cell cultures of medicinal plants, this includes fast propagation, protoplast isolation and regeneration, cell suspension cultures and large scale fermentation. To optimize culture conditions for producing secondary compounds in vitro, various media, additives and elicitors have been tested. Successful examples of large scale culture for the secondary metabolite biosynthesis are quite limited : Lithospermum ery throrhizon and Arnebia euchroma for shikonin derivatives, Panax ginseng, P. notoginseng, P. quinquefolium for saponins, and a few other medicinal plants. Recent development of genetic transformation systems of plant cells offered a new approach to in vitro production of secondary compounds. Hairy root induction and cultures, by using Ri-plasmid, have been reported from a number of medicinal plant species, such as Artemisia annua that produces little artemisinin in normal cultured cells, and from Glycyrrhiza uralensis. In the coming five years, Chinese scientists will continue their work on large scale cell cultures of a few of selected plant species, including Taxus spp. and A. annua, for the production of secondary metabolites with medicinal interests, one or two groups of scientists will be engaged in molecular cloning of the key enzymes in plant secondary metabolism.

식물에서도 동물에서와 같이 RGD(Arg-Gly-Asp) sequence를 매개로 원형질막과 extracellular matrix(ECM)가 연결되어 있다는 사실이 알려지고 있으므로 RGD sequence가 식물세포의 생장, 분화 등의 여러 가지 생리적인 현상에 관여하리라는 가능성을 생각할 수 있다. 그래서 RGD sequence가 당근(Daucus carota L.) 배양세포에서 에틸렌 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. RGD sequence를 포함하는 합성 peptide는 당근 배양세포에서 에틸렌의 생성을 촉진시켰다. RGD peptide는 Indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)와 함께 처리한 경우 에틸렌 생성을 더욱 촉진시켰으며, ACC synthase의 활성도 증가시켰다. RGD sequence가 에틸렌 생성을 촉진시킬 때 어떠한 특이성이 있는가를 확인하기 위해 이와 유사한 RGE(Arg-Gly-Glu) peptide, RGK(Arg-Gly-Lys) peptide를 각각 처리하여 보았다. RGE peptide는 RGD peptide와 마찬가지로 에틸렌 생성을 촉진시켰으나 RGK peptide는 에틸렌 생성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 RGD peptide의 에틸렌 생성 촉진작용은 RGD dequence를 포함하는 RGD peptide가 ACC synthase의 활성을 증가시켜서 일어나는 현상이라 생각되며, 또한 특정한 아미노산 서열을 요구하는 특이적 반응이라고 생각된다.

Haploid cell obta-ined from microspores of Solanum nigrum were cultured on two kinds of medium, "Callus-inducing medium" and "Differentiation medium", in order to conduct histological studies of callus and examine differentiation of plantlets. On the callus-inducing medium the calli grew rapidly. The bulk of callus mass was light brown colored "Wet callus" covered on the surface with thin layers of rough and gleaming "White callus". The wet callus was consisted of parenchyma and meristematic tissues, while the white callus had no meristematic tissues. Large parenchyma cells, by successive divisions, became multicellular or poly nucleate cells which developed later to be meristematic tissues. The calli embedded on the differentiation medium quickly turned to dark brown color. Plantlets, however, came out later from these blackened callus mass. In the callus sectioned about ten weeks after imbedding on the differentiation medium, radially elongated tissue, concentric tissue, epidermis, tracheid-like structure, and plant jprimordia were observed.ure, and plant jprimordia were observed.

Plant regeneration was accomplished from protoplast culture of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taebaeg). Embryogenic callus was induced from mature seed on MS medium containing 5 mM proline, 2.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 g/L sucrose in the dark at 28$^{\circ}C$ and used to establish embryogenic cell suspension culture. Suspension cells were subcultured every one week in N6 medium supplemented with 5 mM proline, 200 mg/L casein hydrolysate, 2.5 mg/L 2,4-D and amino acids of AA medium. Suspension cultures were composed of cells that were densely cytoplasmic, potentially embryogenic and were at least maintained for more than 6 months in liquid medium. Protoplasts were isolated from fast-growing suspension culture cells and cultured in a slightly modified KpR medium by mixed nurse culture. Isolated protoplasts began to divide within 5~7 days and thereafter, protoplast-derived calli were sequentially transferred to callus proliferating medium that soft agar MS medium contained 2 mg/L 2,4-D and produced distinct embryogenic cells. Microcolonies were then transferred to solid medium which consisted of MS medium containing 5 mg/L kinetin, 1 mg/L NAA, 1 mg/L ABA, 30 g/L sucrose and 10 g/L sorbitol under fluorescent light. Mulitple shoots of 4~5 per callus emerged and were transferred to hormone-free MS medium for root initiation. Thereafter, The plantlets were transferred to pots of soil to mature in the culture room.

당근의 배양세포로부터 체세포배의 발생과정에 미치는 아스콜빈산 및 dehydroascorbic acid의 영향을 밝히기 위하여 본 실험을 시도하였다. 비배발생세포의 배양에 처리된 아스콜빈산은 세포증식을 촉진시켰을 뿐인데 dehydroascorbic acid는 세포증식을 억제시키면서 배발생세포로 전환시킨 효과가 있었다. 배발생세포의 배양에 처리된 아스콜빈산은 체세포배 발생을 억제시켰지만 dehydroascorbic acid는 체세포배발생을 촉진시켰다. 그러나 이와 같은 발생촉진은 구상배에서 중단되므로 성숙에는 오히려 저해적이었다. 이상의 결과로부터 당근의 캘러스배양에 dehydroascorbic acid를 처리하여 빠른 시일내에 배발생캘러스를 확보한 다음 dehydroascorbic acid 첨가 배발생 배지에서 초기배발생기간 배양 후 MS 기본배지로 옮겨 배양하면 고빈도의 체세포배생산 실험계가 확립될 것으로 판단된다.

Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) are a highly diversified class of proteins with major research and commercial applications such as diagnostics and therapeutics. Currently, the dominant method for producing MoAbs is through the hybridoma technique. However, this technique is slow, tedious, labor intensive, and expensive. The production of MoAbs in cultured transgenic plant cells can offer some advantages over that in the over that in the mammalian systems. The media to cultivate plant cells are well defined and inexpensive. Contamination by bacteria or fungi is easily monitored in plant tissue cultures. Furthermore, these contaminants are usually not potent pathogens to human beings. In our interdisciplinary research efforts, heavy chain monoclonal antibody (HC MAb) was inserted into Ti plasmid vector and transferred into A. tumefaciens for the transformation in tobacco cells. It was found that 76% of the transformants produced HC MAb. The presence of HC MAb in the cell membrane fraction indicated that the signal peptide was functional and efficient. The change of the HC MAb concentration during a batch culture followed a similar trend as dry cell concentration, indicating that the production of HC MAb was growth related. The long-term repeated subcultures of 11 cell lines showed that there was no obvious trend of neither the decrease nor the increase of the productivity with the repeated subcultures.
