The present study was conducted to investigate whether myoblasts can be transdifferentiated into adipocytes by ectopic expression of adipogenic transcription factors, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-${\alpha}$ (C/$EBP{\alpha}$), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP1c), and Krueppel-like factor 5 (KLF5), in primary bovine satellite cells. Transcription factors were transiently transfected into primary bovine myoblasts, and the cells were cultured with adipogenic differentiation medium for 2 days and then cultured on growth medium for an additional 8 days. Ectopic expression of $PPAR{\gamma}$ or C/$EBP{\alpha}$ alone was insufficient to induce adipogenesis in myoblasts. However, overexpression of both $PPAR{\gamma}$ and C/$EBP{\alpha}$ in myoblasts was able to induce adipogenic transdifferentiation as indicated by the appearance of mature adipocytes, the induction of adipogenic gene expressions, and the suppression of myogenic gene expressions. In addition, KLF5 and $PPAR{\gamma}$ co-transfected bovine myoblasts were converted to adipocytes but not in cells transfected with only KLF5 expression vector. Overexpression of SREBP1c alone was sufficient to induce transdifferentiation from myoblasts into adipocytes. These results demonstrate that primary bovine satellite cells can be transdifferentiated into adipocytes either by single ectopic expression or combined expression of adipogenic transcription factors in a culture system.

We confirmed conditions for callus formation and plant regeneration of five varieties of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerma L.). Among five varieties of orchardgrass, "Hapsung 19" expressed the highest rate for both of callus formation and plant regeneration. Otherwise, among SH (Schenk and Hildebrandt), MS (Murashige and Skoog) and N6 medium (Chu), MS and N6 medium were highest degree of efficiencies in callus formation and plant regeneration, respectively. In this study, we determined volume of hormones appended in media; $3\;mg/\;{\ell}$ ofdicamba for callus formation and $1\;mg/\;{\ell}$ of NAA (I-naphtalene acetic acid) and $5\;mg/\;{\ell}$ kinetin (6-furfurylaminopurine) for plant regeneration were appended in their media. We obtained orchardgrass plants from callus about 50~80 days after transferred to regeneration media.ation media.

Guineagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) is an important warm-season forage grass as well as biomass crop. It has both sexual and asexual mode of reproduction (apomictic) depending on cultivar. We developed efficient plant regeneration system for an apomictic (cv. Natsukaze) and a non-apomictic (Noh-PL1) guineagrass by optimizing the level of L-proline in the callus induction and that of $AgNO_3$ in plant regeneration medium. Among the L-proline concentrations tested, the best callus induction was achieved by using 2g/L L-proline in both the genotypes. Immature embryos proved to be the best explant source for tissue culture of guineagrass. The highest frequency of shoot regeneration was obtained on MS plant regeneration medium supplemented with 2 mg/L $AgNO_3$. These results provide a foundation for efficient tissue culture and genetic improvement of guineagrass.

In order to optimize tissue culture conditions for genetic transformation of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), the effects of culture medium supplements on tissue culture responses were investigated with mature seeds of a cultivar, 'Roughrider', as explant tissues. The optimal concentration of 2,4-D for the induction of embryogenic callus from mature seeds was 3 mg/L. Plant regeneration frequency was 36.3% when embryogenic calli were cultured on the regeneration medium supplemented with 1mg/L 2,4-D and 3mg/L BA. Addition of 1 g/L casein hydrolysate and 300 mg/L L-proline improved frequencies of embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration up to 57.3 and 60.7%, respectively. Supplementation of the media with 10 mga $\textrm{AgNO}_3$ and 40 mg/L cysteine enhanced frequencies of callus induction and plant regeneration. Efficient regeneration system established in this study will be useful for molecular breeding of orchardgrass through genetic transformation.

세포분화에 따른 Small GTP-binding protein의 역할을 밝히기 위하여 Retinoic acid(RA)와 dibutyryl cyclic AMP(dbcAMP)로 분화를 유도한 F9 기형암종세포의 형태적인 변화와 함께 Small GTP-binding protein의 분포를 조사하였다. RA와 dbcAMP를 처리한 세포는 분화유도 5일경(초기 분화 단계)에 분명한 세포의 경계를 보이기 시작하여 7일경(분화 후기 단계)에는 거의 모든 세포가 등근 분화된 형태로 전환되었다. 이 분화과정 동안 세포막에는 많은 microvilli와 lamellopodia 같은 구조물이 나타났다. 아울러 초기 분화 단계에 많은 량의 laminin이 발현되었으며 분화 후기에 microtubule의 재분포가 관찰되었다. 세종류의 Small GTP-binding protein(25 23, 21 KD)이 F9 세포의 막성분과 세포질에서 관찰되었으며 분화가 진행됨에 따라서 세단백질 모두 증가되는 양상을 보였다 이러한 결과는 Small GTP-binding protein이 F9 세포의 분화에 특별한 기능을 가지고 있음을 시사해 주고 있다.

Retinoic acid (RA), a metabolite of vitamin A, is known to regulate dedifferentiation of rabbit articular chondrocytes. The regulatory mechanism of dedifferentiation by RA is not yet understood. Thus, the effect of RA on the regulation of nitric oxide (NO)-induced dedifferentiation was investigated in rabbit articular chondrocytes. RA caused loss of the differentiated chondrocyte phenotype as demonstrated by inhibition of type II collagen expression and proteoglycan synthesis. RA also accelerated NO-induced dedifferentiation in rabbit articular chondrocytes as detected by expression of type II collagen and Sox-9 using Western blot analysis and production of sulfated proteoglycan using Alcain blue staining. Further, RA potentiated NO-induced activation of ERK. Inhibition of ERK with PD98059 (PD) recovered the expression of type II collagen and Sox-9 and production of sulfate proteoglycan in NO-induced dedifferentiated chondrocytes by RA treatment. Our findings suggest that RA accelerates NO-induced dedifferentiation of rabbit articular chondrocytes via the ERK pathway.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selenate on adipocyte differentiation and to identify genes involved in the modulation of adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. To test the effect of selenate on adipocyte differentiation, adipogenesis was induced in cells using various concentrations ($0-100{\mu}M$) of selenate. Various phases of adipogenesis were induced: postconfluent (PC), early phase (EP, d0-d2), postmitotic growth arrest (PM, d2-d4), and all period (AP). The PC cells exposed to selenate for 24 h displayed dose-dependent inhibition of intracellular lipid droplet accumulation on day 6 of adipogenesis. Two days of selenate treatment at EP or AP inhibited adipogenesis, with an approximately 20-80% reduction in lipid accumulation compared to that of a control (p<0.05). When preadipocytes were exposed to selenate during the PM period, the antiadipogenic effect of selenate was attenuated. Two types of selenoprotein genes (Seps1 and Sepp1) were up-regulated by the selenate treatment during mitotic clonal expansion, whereas these genes were down-regulated during PM growth arrest (p<0.05). The findings demonstrate the antiadipogenic function of selenate and the possible involvement of Sepp1 and Seps1 genes in selenate-inhibited adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.
