RGS단백질은 G 단백질 신호전달작용에 있어서 신호를 억제하는 조절단백질로서 G 단백질 매개수용체(GPCR)의 활성을 억제하는 것으로 알려졌다. 그렇지만 캐너비노이드 수용체 CB2의 활성에 있어서 RGS 단백질의 조절효과에 관해서는 지금까지 알려져 있지 않다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 우리는 RGS2, 3, 4, 5와 캐너비노이드 수용체 CB2 cDNA를 동시에 HEK293 세포주에 발현시킨 후 각 RGS 단백질의 효과를 조사하였다. CB2 단백질을 발현하는 HEK293 세포주(CB2-HEK293)에서 CB2 효현제인 WIN55,212-2는 폴스콜린으로 유도된 cAMP response element (CRE) 활성을 억제하였다. 이러한 WIN55,212-2의 CRE 억제 활성은 RGS3에 의하여 차단되었지만 RGS2, 4, 및 RGS5에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 뿐만 아니라 RGS3 small interference RNA (siRNA)를 사용하여 내인성 RGS3 단백질의 발현을 저하시키면 WIN55,212-2에 의한 폴스콜린 유도 CRE 억제활성은 더욱 증강되었다. 이상의 결과는 캐너비노이드 수용체 CB2 신호전달작용에 있어서 RGS 단백질의 기능적 역할과 특히 내인성 RGS3의 캐너비노이드 수용체 CB2에 대한 선택적 작용을 나타낸다.

Tropical plant rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the sole source of commercial natural rubber and low-temperature stress is the most important limiting factor for its cultivation. To characterize the gene expression profiles of H. brasiliensis under the cold stress and discover the key cold stress-induced genes. Three cDNA libraries, CT (control), LT2 (cold treatment at $4^{\circ}C$ for 2 h) and LT24 (cold treatment at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24 h) were constructed for RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and gene expression profiling. Quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was conducted to validate the RNA-Seq and gene differentially expression results. A total of 1457 and 2328 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in LT2 and LT24 compared with CT were respectively detected. Most significantly enriched KEGG pathways included flavonoid biosynthesis, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, cutin, suberine and wax biosynthesis, Pentose and glucuronate interconversions, phenylalanine metabolism and starch and sucrose metabolism. A total of 239 transcription factors (TFs) were differentially expressed following 2 h or/and 24 h of cold treatment. Cold-response transcription factor families included ARR-B, B3, BES1, bHLH, C2H, CO-like, Dof, ERF, FAR1, G2-like, GRAS, GRF, HD-ZIP, HSF, LBD, MIKC-MADS, M-type MADS, MYB, MYB-related, NAC, RAV, SRS, TALE, TCP, Trihelix, WOX, WRKY, YABBY and ZF-HD. The genome-wide transcriptional response of rubber tree to the cold treatments were determined and a large number of DEGs were characterized including 239 transcription factors, providing important clues for further elucidation of the mechanisms of cold stress responses in rubber tree.

As negative regulators of cytokine signaling pathways, suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins have been reported to possess both pro-tumor and anti-tumor functions. Our recent studies have demonstrated suppressive effects of SOCS1 on epithelial to mesenchymal signaling in colorectal cancer cells in response to fractionated ionizing radiation or oxidative stress. The objective of the present study was to determine the radiosensitizing action of SOCS1 as an anti-tumor mechanism in colorectal cancer cell model. In HCT116 cells exposed to ionizing radiation, SOCS1 over-expression shifted cell cycle arrest from G2/M to G1 and promoted radiation-induced apoptosis in a p53-dependent manner with down-regulation of cyclin B and up-regulation of p21. On the other hand, SOCS1 knock-down resulted in a reduced apoptosis with a decrease in G1 arrest. The regulatory action of SOCS1 on the radiation response was mediated by inhibition of radiation-induced Jak3/STAT3 and Erk activities, thereby blocking G1 to S transition. Radiation-induced early ROS signal was responsible for the activation of Jak3/Erk/STAT3 that led to cell survival response. Our data collectively indicate that SOCS1 can promote radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells by counteracting ROS-mediated survival signal, thereby blocking cell cycle progression from G1 to S. The resulting increase in G1 arrest with p53 activation then contributes to the promotion of apoptotic response upon radiation. Thus, induction of SOCS1 expression may increase therapeutic efficacy of radiation in tumors with low SOCS1 levels.

본 연구는 당근에 있어서 유용한 육성재료를 순계화하기 위한 가능성을 찾기 위하여 약배양을 수행하였다. 캘러스를 유도하기 위하여 여러 계통의 약을 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L 2,4-D와 NAA가 첨가된 B$_{5}$ 반고체배지에서 배양하였다. 2,4-D가 함유된 배지가 NAA가 함유된 배지보다 캘러스 형성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 계통 45477의 경우 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D가 함유된 배지에서 약 50%의 높은 캘러스 형성률을 보였다. 두 달 정도 배양하면 충분히 캘러스를 유기할 수 있었다. BAP 또는 NAA 농도가 낮아질수록 식물체 생산에 효과적이라는 것을 알 수가 있었으며 식물생장조절물질이 전혀 첨가되지 않은 배지에서 캘러스를 배양하는 것이 기내에서 식물체 생산에 이상적이었다. 노랗고 부드러운 조직을 보이는 캘러스에서 식물체 분화율이 높게 나타났으며 약배양에 대한 반응은 계통간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 배지에 함유된 생장 조절물질을 조절함으로써 약으로부터 캘러스를 유기하거나 식물체로 분화시킬 수 있었다. 배양묘의 엽수에 관계없이 퍼얼라이트 배지에서 4주간 충분히 순화시킨 유식물체에서 포장 생존율이 100%로 가장 높았다. 지금까지의 연구 결과 한개의 캘러스에서 식물체를 대량으로 생산할 수 있었으며 이약배양기법이 당근 품종육성에 이용될 것으로 전망된다.

Drawing on the deep experience and understanding of the principles of nuclear safety, as well as many years of nuclear power plant design and operation, the EDF led NUWARD SMR Project is developing a design for a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) of 340 MWe composed of two 170 MWe independent units, that will supplement the offering of high-output nuclear reactors, especially in response to specific needs such as replacement of fossil-fuelled power plants. NUWARD SMR is a mix of proven and innovative design features that will make it more commercially competitive, while integrating safety features that comply with the highest international standards. Following the principles of redundancy and diversity and rigorous application of Defence in Depth (DID), with an international view on nuclear safety licensing, the Project also incorporates new safety approaches into its design development. The NUWARD SMR Project has been in development for a number of years, it entered conceptual design formally in mid-2019 and entered Basic Design in 2023. The objective of the concept design phase was to confirm the project technological choices and to define the first design configuration of the NUWARD SMR product, to document it, in order to launch pre-licensing with the French Safety Authority (ASN) and to define its estimated cost and its subsequent development and construction schedules. As a delivery milestone the Safety Options file (called the Dossier d'Options de Sûreté (DOS)) has been submitted to ASN in July 2023 for their opinion. An integral part of the NUWARD SMR Project, is not only to deliver a design suitable for France and to satisfy French regulation, but to develop a product suitable and indeed desirable, for the international market, with a first focus in Europe. In order to achieve its objectives and realise its market potential, the NUWARD SMR Project needs to define and realise its safety approach within an international environment and that is the key subject of this paper. The following paper: • Summarises the foundation principles and technological background which underpin the design; • Contextualises the key design features with regard to the international safety regulatory framework with particular emphasis on innovative passive safety aspects; • Illustrates the Project activities in preparation for first licensing in France, and also a wider international view via the ASN led Joint Early Review of the NUWARD SMR design, including Finnish and Czech Republic regulators, recently joined by the Swedish, Polish and Dutch regulators; • Articulates the collaborative approach to design development from involvement with the Project partners (the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Naval Group, TechnicAtome, Framatome and Tractebel) to the establishment of the International NUWARD Advisory Board (INAB), to gain greater international insight and advice; • Concludes with the focus on next steps into detailed design development, standardisation of the design and its simplification to enhance its commercial competitiveness in a context of further harmonisation of the nuclear safety and licensing requirements and aspirations.

Since the major important factors limiting plant growth and crop productivity are environmental stresses, of which low temperature is the most serious. It has been well known that many physiological processes are alterant in response to the environmental stress. With regard to the relationship between plant hormones and the regulation of chilling tolerance in rice seedlings, the major physiological roles of plant hormones: abscisic acid, ethylene and polyamines are evaluated and discussed in this paper. Rice seedlings were grown in culture solution to examine the effect of such plant hormones on physiological characters related to chilling tolerance and also to compare the different responses among tested cultivars. Intact seedlings about 14 day-old were chilled at conditions of 5$^{\circ}C$ and 80% relative humidity for various period. Cis-(＋)-ABA content was measured by the indirect ELISA technique. Polyamine content and ethylene production in leaves were determined by means of HPLC and GC respectively. Chilling damage of seedlings was evaluated by electrolyte leakage, TTC viability assay or servival test. Our experiment results described here demonstrated the physiological functions of ABA, ethylene, and polyamines related to the regulation of chilling tolerance in rice seedlings. Levels of cis-(＋)-ABA in leaves or xylem sap of rice seedlings increased rapidly in response to 5$^{\circ}C$ treatment. The tolerant cultivars had significant higher level of endogenous ABA than the sensitive ones. The ($\pm$)-ABA pretreatment for 48 h increased the chilling tolerance of the sensitive indica cultivar. One possible function of abscisic acid is the adjustment of plants to avoid chilling-induced water stress. Accumulation of proline and other compatible solutes is assumed to be another factor in the prevention of chilling injuies by abscisic acid. In addition, the expression of ABA-responsive gene is reported in some plants and may be involving in the acclimation to low temperature. Ethylene and its immediate precusor, 1-amincyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) increased significantly after 5$^{\circ}C$ treatment. The activity of ACC synthase which converts S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to ACC enhanced earlier than the increase of ethylene and ACC. Low temperature increased ACC synthase activity, whereas prolonged chilling treatment damaged the conversion of ACC to ethylene. It was shown that application of Ethphon was beneficial to recovering from chilling injury in rice seedlings. However, the physiological functions of chilling-induced ethylene are still unclear. Polyamines are thought to be a potential plant hormone and may be involving in the regulation of chilling response. Results indicated that chilling treatment induced a remarkable increase of polyamines, especially putrescine content in rice seedlings. The relative higher putrescine content was found in chilling-tolerant cultivar and the maximal level of enhanced putrescine in shoot of chilling cultivar(TNG. 67) was about 8 folds of controls at two days after chilling. The accumulation of polyamines may protect membrane structure or buffer ionic imbalance from chilling damage. Stress physiology is a rapidly expanding field. Plant growth regulators that improve tolerance to low temperature may affect stress protein production. The molecular or gene approaches will help us to elucidate the functions of plant hormones related to the regulation of chilling tolerance in plants in the near future.

간 소포체(ER) 스트레스는 비알콜성지방간과 인슐린 저항성의 발달에 기여하고, unfolded protein response(UPR)의 구성요소는 지질 대사를 조절한다. 최근 연구에 따르면 ER 스트레스와 비정상적인 세포 지질 대사 사이의 연관성이 보고되었으며, 이 과정에서 지질 대사의 중심 조절자인 sterol regulatory element binding proteins(SREBPs)의 관련성이 확인되었다. 그러나 ER 스트레스 동안 지질 대사를 조절하는 SREBP의 정확한 역할과 비알콜성지방간에 대한 기여는 아직 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서 SREBP-1c 결핍은 UPR, 염증 및 지방산 산화 조절을 통해 ER 스트레스에 의해 유도된 비알콜성지방간으로부터 생쥐를 보호한다는 것을 보여준다. SREBP-1c는 inositol requiring kinase 1α (IRE1α) 발현을 직접적으로 조절하고 ER 스트레스에 의해 유도된 tumor necrosis factor-α의 활성화를 매개하여 peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α (PGC1α)의 감소와 그에 따른 지방산 산화의 장애를 유발한다. 그러나, SREBP-1c의 유전적 결핍은 이러한 현상을 보호하여 간 염증과 지방 축적을 완화시킨다. SREBP-1c 결핍이 ER 스트레스에 의해 유도된 염증 신호를 방지하는 메커니즘은 아직 밝혀지지 않았지만, SREBP-1c가 결핍된 Kupffer 세포에서 IRE1α 신호의 변화가 염증 신호에 관여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구결과는 SREBP-1c가 ER 스트레스에 의해 유도된 비알콜성지방간에서 UPR 및 염증의 조절에 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.
