How much do we know about the biology of aging from cell culture studies Most normal somatic cells have a finite potential to divide due to a process termed cellular or replicative senescence. A growing body evidence suggests that senescence evolved to protect higher eu-karyotes, particularly mammals, from developing cancer, We now know that telomere shortening due to the biochemistry of DNA replication, induces replicative senescence in human cells. How-ever in rodent cells, replicative senescence occurs despite very long telomeres. Recent findings suggest that replicative senescence is just the tip of the iceberg of a more general process termed cellular senescence. It appears that cellular senescence is a response to potentially oncogenic in-sults, including oxidative damage. In young orgainsms, growth arrest by cell senescence sup-presses tumor development, but later in life, due to the accumulation of senescent cells which se-cret factors that can disrupt tissues during aging, cellular senescence promotes tumorigenesis. Therefore, antagonistic pleiotropy may explain, if not in whole the apparently paradoxical effects of cellular senescence, though this still remains an open question.

In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of plasmid incompatibility of broad host-range plasmid R1162, the plasmid-encoded replication protein RepIB was purified and tested for binding to the 20 bp direct repeat (DR) DNA sequence which is reiterated 3 and 1/2 times within the replicative origin of the plasmid. The RepIB protein specifically binds to the DR DNA. Point mutations in the DR which affect expression of plasmid incompatibility also coordinately affect binding. These results indicate that the incompatibility of broad host-range plasmid R1162 is exerted by the DR DNA by titrating the essential replication protein RepIB.

To elucidate the molecular genetical properties of the canine parvoviruses isolated from the diseased puppies in the regions of Kyunggi and Chungnam provinces, the replicative form (RF) DNA of four field isolates were compared with those of two attenuated vaccine strains and a reference strains of CPV by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA). REA by Hinf I showed that three CPV isolates except CPV-V15 had an identical banding pattern with two vaccine strains, one standard strain and feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV). In CPV-V15 strain the fourth fragment of DNA with 800 bp was deleted. REA by Bgl II and Pst I indicated that CPV-V15 and FPLV had a bigger second fragment than those of the other strains of CPV. Meanwhile REA by Bam HI revealed that all the field isolates and vaccine strains used in this experiment showed similar banding patterns.

Ascorbic acid has been reported to extend replicative life span of human embryonic fibroblast (HEF). Since the detailed molecular mechanism of this phenomenon has not been investigated, we attempted to elucidate. Continuous treatment of HEF cells with ascorbic acid at ($200{\mu}M$) from 40 population doubling (PD) increased maximum PD numbers by 18% and lowered $SA-{\beta}-gal$ positive staining, an aging marker, by 2.3 folds, indicating that ascorbic acid extends replicative life span of HEF cells. Ascorbic acid treatment lowered DCFH by about 7 folds and Rho123 by about 70%, suggesting that ascorbic acid dramatically decreased ROS formation. Ascorbic acid also increased aconitase activity, a marker of mitochondrial aging, by 41%, indicating that ascorbic acid treatment restores age-related decline of mitochondrial function. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry revealed that ascorbic acid treatment decreased G1 population up to 12%. Further western blot analysis showed that ascorbic acid treatment decreased levels of p53, phospho-p53 at ser 15, and p21, indicating that ascorbic acid relieved senescence-related G1 arrest. Analysis of AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) sites showed that ascorbic acid treatment decreased AP site formation by 35%. We also tested the effect of hydrogen peroxide treatment, as an additional oxidative stress. Continuous treatment of $20{\mu}M$ of hydrogen peroxide from PD 40 of HEF cells resulted in premature senescence due to increased ROS level, and increased AP sites. Taken together, the results suggest that ascorbic acid extends replicative life span of HEF cells by reducing mitochondrial and DNA damages through lowering cellular ROS.

The effect of saponin extracted from Panax grneng CA Meyer on DNA repair and replicative DNA synthesis were examined in CHO-Kl cells cotreated with benzo(a)pyrene and rat liver S-15 fraction. The DNA strand breaks inititated by benzo(a)pyrene metabolites were measured by alkaline election technique. The addition of ginseng saponin to the culture media resulted in decrease of benzo(a)pyrene-induced DNA strand breaks, and restored the suppressed-semiconservative-DNA-synthesis by the carcinogen. DNA repair synthesis in the damaged cells was also elevated by the ginseng treatment when the repairing activites were measured for the (3H)-thymidine incorporation into the carcinogen damaged cellular DNk Comparative analysis of DNA-adduces of benzo(a)pyrene metabortes in microsomes suggested that ginseng saponin treatment in rats reduced the formation of electrophilic metabolites of benzo (a)-pyrene in the rat liver microsomes.

중간엽줄기세포는 성체줄기세포의 한 종류로, 자기재생산능력(self-renwal)과 다분화능(multipotency)을 가지고 있고, 다양한 자양인자(trophic factors)들을 분비한다. 뿐만 아니라, 중간엽줄기세포는 골수, 지방, 탯줄과 같은 조직에서 쉽게 얻을 수 있기 때문에 줄기세포치료에 좋은 도구로 이용되고 있다. 하지만, 줄기세포치료의 효율성을 높이기 위해 추출한 세포의 개체 수를 늘리는 과정에서 중간엽줄기세포는 점차적인 노화를 겪게 되고, 이는 줄기세포 자체의 기능적인 감소를 야기한다. 인체 내에서, 노화된 줄기세포는 조직 내의 항상성 유지에 부정적인 영향 을 미치게 되고, 이러한 상태가 지속되면 대표적인 노인성 질환인 퇴행성 질환의 원인이 된다. 최근 연구들에 의하면 중간엽줄기세포가 노화를 겪을 때, 노화 관련된 DNA 메틸화 패턴의 변화와 히스톤의 변형이 일어남을 확인하였다. 또한, 중간엽줄기세포의 노화에 있어서 DNA 메틸화효소(DNA methyltransferase) 억제제와 히스톤 아세틸화효소(histone deacetylase) 억제제가 부분적으로 노화를 개선하는 효과를 관찰한 연구사례들이 있다. 본 총설에서는, 노화에 따른 후생유전학적인 변화에 의해, 조절되는 노화 관련 유전자들과 중간엽줄기세포의 노화에 대한 연구사례들을 분석하여 서술하고자 한다.

T7박테리오파지 gp4는 dTTP 가수분해에너지를 이용하여 DNA복제시 이중 나선 DNA를 단일가닥 DNA로 풀어내는 나선효소(helicase)이다. T7 나선효소의 활성형의 4차구조는 한가운데 구멍을 지닌 육량체 고리모양이다. 단일가닥 DNA는 나선효소가 $5'\rightarrow3'$방향으로 이동할 때 육량체 고리의 구멍으로 빠져나간다. 이러한 DNA의 이중나선 풀어헤침을 빠른 효소반응속도 측정법을 이용하여 정량적으로 측정하였으며, 그 결과 단일가닥 DNA 산물들이 생성되기 전에 지연상태(lag phase)가 존재함을 관찰하였다. 이러한 지연상태를 나선효소에 의한 이중나선 DNA의 풀어헤침이 속도론적 단계과정(kinetic stepping)을 거친다는 모델로써 분석하였다. 예상대로 이중나선의 길이가 클수록 지연상태의 지속시간이 늘어났다. $\tau7$ 나선효소가 이중나선 DNA를 풀어내는 과정에서 넣어준 trap DNA는 풀어내는 이중나선 DNA의 양을 변화시키지 못하여서, $\tau7$ 나선효소가 매우 큰 공정성을 지닌 효소임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 속도론적 data를 global fitting법을 써서 kinetic stepping 모델에 적용한 결과 매 단계(step)마다 10∼l개의 염기쌍이 풀려지고 1초당 3.7번의 step이 일어난다는 것을 알 수 있었다. DNA 풀어헤침과 dTTP가수분해의 메커니즘과 이들의 연계성은 $4∼37^{\circ}C$사이의 온도범위에서 영향을 받지 않았다. 이상을 종합할 때, T7나선효소의 이중나선 DNA의 풀어헤침 시 나타나는 속도론적 단계과정은 DNA복제 시 이용되는 나선효소의 내재적 속성임을 알 수 있다.

The chromosomal DNA fragment from Phaffia rhodozyma CBS 6938 which is able to autonomously replicate in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned on an integrative URA3 plasmid. Its minimal fragment exhibiting autonomously replicating activiy in the S. cerevisiae gave a higher frequency transformation efficiency than that found for centromere-based plasmid, and enabled extrachromosoma1ly stable transmission of the plasmids in one copy per yeast cell under non-selective culture condition. The 836-bp DNA element lacked an ORF and did not contain any acceptable match to an ARS core consensus. Sequence analysis, however, displayed a cluster of three hairpin-Ioop-sequences with individual $\triangle {G_{25}}^{\circ}C$ free energy value of -10.0, -17.5, and -17.0 kcal. $mor^{-l}$as well as a 9-bp sequence with two base pair mismatches to the S. cerevisiae/E. coli gyrase-binding site. This 836-bp sequence also included one 7-bp sequence analogous to the core consensus of centromeric DNA element III (CDEIII) of S. cerevisiae, but CDEIII-like 7 bp sequence alone did not give a replicative function in this yeast.
