  • To examine the pro-apoptotic role of the human ortholog (YPEL5) of the Drosophila Yippee protein, the cell viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain with deleted MOH1, the yeast ortholog, was compared with that of the wild-type (WT)-MOH1 strain after exposure to different apoptogenic stimulants, including UV irradiation, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), camptothecin (CPT), heat shock, and hyperosmotic shock. The $moh1{\Delta}$ mutant exhibited enhanced cell viability compared with the WT-MOH1 strain when treated with lethal UV irradiation, 1.8 mM MMS, $100{\mu}M$ CPT, heat shock at $50^{\circ}C$, or 1.2 M KCl. At the same time, the level of Moh1 protein was commonly up-regulated in the WT-MOH1 strain as was that of Ynk1 protein, which is known as a marker for DNA damage. Although the enhanced UV resistance of the $moh1{\Delta}$ mutant largely disappeared following transformation with the yeast MOH1 gene or one of the human YPEL1-YPEL5 genes, the transformant bearing pYES2-YPEL5 was more sensitive to lethal UV irradiation and its UV sensitivity was similar to that of the WT-MOH1 strain. Under these conditions, the UV irradiation-induced apoptotic events, such as FITC-Annexin V stainability, mitochondrial membrane potential (${\Delta}{\psi}m$) loss, and metacaspase activation, occurred to a much lesser extent in the $moh1{\Delta}$ mutant compared with the WT-MOH1 strain and the mutant strain bearing pYES2-MOH1 or pYES2-YPEL5. These results demonstrate the functional conservation between yeast Moh1 and human YPEL5, and their involvement in mitochondria-dependent apoptosis induced by DNA damage.

  • Background: Dietary protein requirements are dependent on a variety of factors and water temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting protein requirement of fish. This study was, therefore, conducted to investigate effects of water temperature on dietary protein requirement of fry Heteropneustes fossilis which has high demand in most of the Asian markets. Methods: Quadruplicate groups of 30 fish per treatment (2.97 ± 0.65 cm; 5.11 ± 0.34 g) were fed seven isoenergetic diets (17.9 kJ g-1 gross energy; 14.99 kJ g-1 digestible energy) containing dietary protein levels ranging from 28 to 52% at two water temperatures (18 and 26 ℃). Experimental diets were fed to apparent satiation as semi-moist cakes thrice daily at 17:00, 12:00, and 17:30 h for 12 weeks. For precise information, various growth parameters, protein deposition, hematological parameters, metabolic enzymes, and stress response were analyzed, and effects of water temperature on dietary protein requirement was recommended on the basis of response from above parameters. Results: Groups held at 26 ℃ attained best growth, feed conversion, and protein deposition at 44% dietary protein indicating that temperature affected dietary protein requirement for optimum growth of H. fossilis fry and protein requirement seems to be satisfied with 44% dietary protein. Interestingly, interactive effects of both dietary protein levels and temperature were not found (P > 0.05). Fish reared at 18 ℃ had comparatively higher values for aspartate and alanine transferases than those reared at 26 ℃ water temperature which exhibited normal physiological value for these enzymes indicating that body metabolism was normal at this temperature. Hematological parameters also followed same pattern. Furthermore, fish reared at 26 ℃ water temperature exhibited more resistant to thermal stress (P < 0.05). The 95% maximum plateau of protein deposition data using second-degree polynomial regression analyses exhibited dietary protein requirement of fry H. fossilis between 40.8 and 41.8% of diet at 26 ℃ water temperature. The recommended range of dietary protein level and protein/digestible energy ratio for fry H. fossilis is 40.8-41.8% and 27.21-27.88 mg protein kJ-1 digestible energy, respectively. Conclusions: Information developed is of high significance for optimizing growth potential by making better utilization of nutrient at 26 ℃ and, to develop effective management strategies for mass culture of this highly preferred fish species.

  • 최근에 발견된 Adiponectiin과 gut hormone은 지질대사와 인슐린 저항성, 그리고 식욕에 영향을 주는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 장기간 트레이닝을 한 고등학교 씨름선수 16명(경량급=8, 장사급=8)을 대상으로 일시적 운동을 실시하여, 운동 전 후의 혈중 Adiponectin과 Gut hormones 농도의 변화와 체중차이에 의한 농도에 차이가 있는지를 구명하고 체중의 차이가 운동의 효과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 구명하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로 일시적 운동프로그램은 40분간 걷기를 한 후, 5분간 all-out 달리기를 실시하였으며 운동 전 후에 혈액을 채혈하여 분석하였다. 이 연구의 결과에서 Adiponectin과 Ghrelin의 농도는 경량급선수가 장사급선수보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났으며(p<.05), 인슐린의 농도에서는 반대로 장사급선수가 경량급선수보다 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.01). 또한, 운동 전 후의 유의한 차이는 오직 글루카곤에서 운동 후에 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<.01), 다른 모든 변인에서 운동 전 후의 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이 연구의 결과에서는 Adiponectin과 인슐린, Ghrelin 등의 혈중 농도에 대한 일시적인 운동 효과는 없었으며 체중 차이에 의해서 변화를 보였고, 글루카곤의 경우에만 일시적인 운동에 영향을 받아 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 Adiponectin과 인슐린, Ghrelin 등의 농도는 지속적인 운동의 효과와 체중 차이에 영향을 받는 것으로 생각되며 글루카곤은 일시적인 운동에도 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

  • Objective: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the major microorganisms responsible for subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle. The present study was designed with the aim to explore the DNA methylation patterns using the Fluorescence-labeled methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (F-MSAP) techniques in a S. aureus-infected mouse model. Methods: A total of 12 out-bred Institute of Cancer Research female mice ranging from 12 to 13 weeks-old were selected to construct a mastitis model. F-MSAP analysis was carried out to detect fluctuations of DNA methylation between control group and S. aureus mastitis group. Results: Visible changes were observed in white cell counts in milk, percentage of granulocytes, percentage of lymphocytes, CD4+/CD8+ ratio (CD4+/CD8+), and histopathology of mice pre- and post-challenge with S. aureus. These findings showed the suitability of the S. aureus-infected mouse model. A total of 369 fragments was amplified from udder tissue samples from the two groups (S. aureus-infected mastitis group and control group) using eight pairs of selective primers. Results indicated that the methylation level of mastitis mouse group was higher than that in the control group. In addition, NCK-associated protein 5 (Nckap5) and transposon MTD were identified to be differentially methylated through secondary polymerase chain reaction and sequencing in the mastitis group. These observations might play an important role in the development of S. aureus mastitis. Conclusion: Collectively, our study suggests that the methylation modification in Nckap5 and transposon MTD might be considered as epigenetic markers in resistance to S. aureus-infected mastitis and provided a new insight into S. aureus mastitis research in dairy industry and public health.

  • 감귤저장 방법의 개선과 감귤 껍질의 효율적인 활용을 위해서 시판 중인 농약제제와 감귤정유의 감귤부패 관련 사상균에 대한 살균 작용을 조사하였다. Alternaria alternata, Rhizopus sp., Botrytis cinerea, Monilia candida, Penicillium italicum, Penicillium digitatum 등 6종의 사상균에 대한 시판 합성 농약제제 11종의 생육저해 효과를 조사한 결과, mancozeb 또는 fluazinam을 함유한 제제의 활성 범위가 가장 넓었고, conazole 계통의 화합물이 중간 정도의 활성 범위를 나타내었으며, iprodione, benomyl, azoxtrobin 또는 thiophanate을 함유한 제제의 항균활성 범위가 가장 좁은 것으로 나타났다. 농약제제의 생육저해 효과는 대상 균주에 따라 달랐으며, Penicillium italicum과 Alternaria alternata는 각종 살균제의 처리에 대한 생존력이 비교적 강하였다. 감귤정유를 상기 6개 균주의 포자와 각각 접촉시켰을 때는 그 어느 균주의 생존 포자도 검출되지 않았으며, 감귤정유의 살균력은 paper disk법과 현미경 관찰로도 증명되었다. 이는 감귤정유가 광범위한 살균력을 지니고 있음을 제시한다. 따라서 감귤 정유를 감귤저장에 활용하는 방법을 검토할 필요가 있다.

  • A study was carried out to determine the effect of a very low-carbohydrate diet on weight gain, body composition, and serum levels of cholesterol, triacylglycerol, glucose, ketone bodies and insulin. Twenty rats (mean initial weight, 212 g) were divided into two groups and each group was assigned a conventional high-carbohydrate diet (control) or a very low-carbohydrate diet containing 59.8% ground pork rind snack and fed the diet for four weeks. Average daily body weight gain was not different between the two groups during the first two weeks, but was significantly lower in rats fed the very low-carbohydrate diet than in those in the control group during third (p<0.05) and fourth weeks (p<0.01). Feedintake as well as energy intake was lower in rats fed the very low-carbohydrate diet than in those in the control group. The very low-carbohydrate diet reduced (p<0.01) serum triacylglycerol (34$\pm$83 vs 82$\pm$8 mg/l00 mL) and insulin (3.90$\pm$0.53 vs 7.60$\pm$0.61 $\mu$IU/mL) levels, while increasing (p<0.01) ketone body level (368$\pm$25 vs 236$\pm$24 $\mu$mol/L), compared with the control. Serum glucose and total cholesterol levels were not different (p>0.05) between the two dietary treatments. Proximate analysis of carcasses showed that the very low-carbohydrate diet decreased (p<0.01) body fat (26.1$\pm$1.04 vs 30.5$\pm$0.86%), while increasing (p<0.01) body protein (63.1$\pm$0.94 vs 59.4$\pm$0.70%) contents. Results indicate that short-term feeding of a very low-carbohydrate diet is beneficial for alleviating risk factors known to involve cardiovascular diseases or artherosclerosis. However, more studies with model animals as well as humans are recommended to examine the long-term health benefits of low-carbohydrate diets.

  • To identify a solution for the restricted availability of healthy lungs and the high risk of immune rejections following organ transplantation, tissue engineering techniques for culturing lungs have been studied by many research groups. The most promising method for culturing lungs is the utilization of a bio-scaffold that was prepared using harvested organs from human donors or other animals by removing their original cells. In this study, a pulsatile perfusion pump was used to alleviate the cell removal effect with the high fluid-dynamic power of the perfusion stream during the decellularization process, while other conventional studies focused on chemical methods to identify efficient detergents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the developed device by using energy equivalent pressure (EEP), which is an indicator of pulsatility, to understand the characteristics of pulsatile energy transmitted according to the load size by using the artificial model and compare it with the measured EEP. The pulsatility of the device can be estimated with the concept of fluid-dynamic energy during a particular constant time period or fluid-dynamic power represented as EEP and EEP increment. Because the measured EEP of perfusion flow during decellularization can be changed by the amount of fluid leakage and the degree of clogging in the capillary vessels, EEP should be measured to determine whether the decellularization is progressing without problems. The decrement of EEP caused by the high perfusion resistance was observed from some experimental results that were obtained with artificial models. EEP can be used to monitor the decellularization process after analyzing the varying EEP according to the amount of load. It was confirmed that the EEP was maintained at a high level in the experiment using the harvested lungs from 12-13-week-old rats. In addition, it was confirmed that the cell removal time was faster than when continuous perfusion was performed. In this study, pulsatile power delivered to the lungs was measured to monitor the process of cell removal, and it serve as the evidence for efficient decellularization.

  • 모발표면에는 독특한 형태의 지방산이 있다. 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA)는 모발 큐티클의 최외각 층에 공유결합된 특이한 ante-iso 형태의 지방산이다. 18-MEA 층은 CMC의 ${\beta}$-층 위에 위치하면서 모발의 외부 표면에 표면에너지와 마찰저항 을 낮춰준다. 18-MEA 분자의 높은 유동성은 계면 전단력을 감소시켜 외부로부터 전달되는 지질들이 쉽게 퍼지도록 한다. 본 연구에서는 C10 - 40 isoalkyl acid의 말단에 관능기로 N-hydroxyl succinimidyl ester를 도입하여 모발 표면의 공유결합 지방산 층을 회복시켜보고 자 하였다. 모발 표면의 재 소수화를 확인하기 위하여 접촉각을 측정하였다. 서로 다른 습도 조건(40, 55, 70 %RH)에서 모발의 내부 수 분 함유량은 전자 수분 분석기를 이용하여 실시하였다. Hydroxysuccinimidyl C10 - 40 Isoalkyl Acidate (HCIA)로 처리한 모발의 표면은 큐티클을 접착하는 것과 같이 지방산 단분자층이 공유결합을 형성하여 큐티클의 균열을 채워줌으로써 매끄럽고 균일할 것으로 생각되었다. 이러한 접착 효과는 atomic force microscope (AFM) 영상의 라인 프로필(line profile)을 통해서 확인되었다. 따라서 모발 내부 구 성 물질과 수분이 쉽게 용출되지 않고, 외기의 습도가 변하는 경우에도 최적의 모발 습도가 항상 유지된다. AFM을 사용한 lateral force microscopy (LFM) 결과에 따르면 HCIA를 처리한 모발 표면의 마찰력이 감소되었고, 이에 대해 15회 샴푸 과정을 수행한 이후에도 동일한 마찰력 값을 나타내었다.
