Objective : Cerebral endothelial cells have unique biological features and are fascinating candidate cells for stroke therapy. Methods : In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of human cerebral endothelial cell (hCMEC/D3) transplantation in a rat stroke model, we performed proteomic analysis using 2-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Protein expression was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. Results : Several protein spots were identified by gel electrophoresis in the sham, cerebral ischemia (CI), and CI with hCMEC/D3 treatment cerebral ischemia with cell transplantation (CT) groups, and we identified 14 differentially expressed proteins in the CT group. Proteins involved in mitochondrial dysfunction (paraplegin matrix AAA peptidase subunit, SPG7), neuroinflammation (peroxiredoxin 6, PRDX6), and neuronal death (zinc finger protein 90, ZFP90) were markedly reduced in the CT group compared with the CI group. The expression of chloride intracellular channel 4 proteins involved in post-ischemic vasculogenesis was significantly decreased in the CI group but comparable to sham in the CT group. Conclusion : These results contribute to our understanding of the early phase processes that follow cerebral endothelial cell treatment in CI. Moreover, some of the identified proteins may present promising new targets for stroke therapy.

In the multidimensional protein identification technology of high-throughput proteomics, we use one-dimensional gel electrophoresis and after the separation by two-dimensional liquid chromatography, the sample is analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. In this study, we have analyzed the Pseudomonas Putida KT2440 protein. From the protein identification, the protein database was combined with its reversed sequence database. From the peptide selection whose error rate is less than 1%, the SEQUEST database search for the tandem mass spectral data identified 2,045 proteins. For each protein, we compared the molecular weight calibrated from 1D-gel band position with the theoretical molecular weight computed from the amino acid sequence, by defining a variable MW$_{corr}$ Since the bacterial proteome is simpler than human proteome considering the complexity and modifications, the proteome analysis result for the Pseudomonas Putida KT2440 could suggest a guideline to build the protocol to analyze human proteome data.

High molecular weight glutenin (HMW-Glu) subunit compositions of 73 Korean wheat cultivars and experimental lines were evaluated by using one dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This method is suitable for obtaining a good resolution of 1Dx2 and 1Ax2$^*$ without adverse effects on separation of other HMW-Glu subunits. Korean wheats examined in this study could be divided into 15 different groups on the basis of HMW-Glu subunit compositions. From the wheat lines tested, it was identified that there were three alleles at the Glu-Al, five at the Glu-Bl and three at the Glu-D1 loci. The null allele of the Glu-Al was occurred in high frequency (79.4%), while low frequencies for 1Ax1 (12.3%) and 1Ax2$^*$(8.2%) were found. High frequency (75.3%) of the subunit pairs of 1Bx7+1By8 at the Glu-Bl loci compared with other subunits was found. The frequencies of subunits 1Dx2. 2+1Dy12 and 1Dx2+1Dy12 from the Glu-D1 loci were 54. 8% and 37.0%, respectively. However, a few Korean wheat lines (8.2%) carried 1Dx5 + 1Dy10 subunit pair which are responsible for good breadmaking quality. The information of HMW-Glu subunit compositions provide a useful tool to characterize wheat lines, and can be directly used in selection of breeding lines of different end-use properties.

아스코크로린(Ascochlorin, ASC)은 Ascochyta viciae로부터 추출된 프레닐페놀 물질로, 혈청 콜레스테롤과 트리글리세라이드 수치를 감소시키고 종양 성장을 억제한다는 연구 결과가 보고되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 아스코크로린이 생리학적 혹은 병리학적인 작용과 염증반응에서 약리학적으로 유도되는 반응을 어떻게 조절하며, 이러한 메커니즘에 대해 이해하기 위해 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 이에 대한 프로테옴의 특이적인 발현에 대해 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 LPS를 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 염증과정에 관련된 단백질의 발현 양상을 확인하기 위해 프로테오믹스를 시행하였다. Mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리한 조건과 무처리한 조건으로 나누어 two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D SDS-PAGE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS)와 bioinformatics 방법으로 아스코크로린을 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.6 세포의 프로테옴을 분석하였다. 그 결과 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린 처리 시 Calreticulin이 4배 감소, ${\beta}-actin$도 4배 감소 그리고 vimentin이 1.5배 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 rabaptin 아스코크로린 처리에 의해 3배 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 단백질 발현은 RT-PCR을 수행하여 결과에 대해 재확인 하였으며, 프로테오믹스와 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 LPS 처리에 의해 활성화된 mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 ASC를 처리한 후 이차원 전기영동법을 이용하여, 단백질의 발현 변화 및 양상을 규명하고 단백질 지도를 확립 하였으며, RAW264.7 세포를 이용한 면역세포 모델에서 ASC의 항염증 작용을 중심으로 생리활성 조절기능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 분자 기능 조절 연구와 전 임상 연구를 통해 ASC의 생리활성 조절 기능을 규명한다면 ASC는 항염증 및 항암활성을 갖는 약물로 개발될 것으로 기대된다.

The breeding of yaks is highly seasonal, there are many crucial proteins involved in the reproduction control program, especially in follicular development. In order to isolate differential proteins between mature and immature follicular fluid (FF) of yak, the FF from yak follicles with different sizes were sampled respectively, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) of the proteins was carried out. After silver staining, the Image Master 2D platinum software was used for protein analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was performed for differential protein identification. The expression level of transferrin and enolase superfamily member 1 (ENOSF1) was determined by Western blotting for verification analysis. The results showed that 2-DE obtained an electrophoresis map of proteins from mature and immature yak FF with high resolution and repeatability. A comparison of protein profiles identified 12 differently expressed proteins, out of which 10 of them were upregulated while 2 were downregulated. Western blotting showed that the expression of transferrin and ENOSF1 was enhanced with follicular development. Both the obtained protein profiles and the differently expressed proteins identified in this study provided experimental data related to follicular development during yak breeding seasons. This study also laid the foundation for understanding the microenvironment during oocyte development.

체세포 핵이식에 의한 복제기술은 매우 낮은 성공률 나타내고 있어 실용화에 지장을 초래하고 있다. 이것은 후생적인 유전현상인 reprogramming이 불완전하게 이루어지기 때문인 것으로 추측되어지고 있다(Reik et al., Theriogenology 2003, 59: 21-32; Han et al, Theriogenology 2003, 59: 33-44). 체세포 핵이식 후에 태아사망의 원인이 태반의 비정상적인 기능과 관계가 있는 것으로 추정되는데 복제시 태아사망의 원인을 찾기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 한우에서 체세포 복제 후 임신 말기에 태아가 사망한 태반조직 3개와 IVF 수정란 이식 후 동일한 시기에 제왕절개술을 실시한 태반조직 2개를 실험에 이용하였다. 태반 protein을 Two-Dimensional electrophoresis와 Mass spectrometer를 이용하여 분석 비교하였다. IPG-system을 이용하여 pH 4~7, pH 6~9에서 1차 전기영동을 한 후, 8~l6%의 SDS-PAGE gel에 2차 전기영동을 실시하였고 G-250 Coomassie로 염색하였다. gel 이미지는 Malanie III program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 전체 gel에서 약 1800개의 구분 가능한 protein spot이 나타났다. pH 4~7 범위에서 양적으로 차이나는 것 15개 중 복제한우 태반에서 증가되는 protein spot 5개와 감소하는 protein spot 10개를 골라 protein identification을 실시하였다. MALDI-TOF-MS를 이용하여 동정한 결과 phosphatidylinositol transfer protein-$\alpha$와 interleukin-18 등의 protein이 복제태반에서 발현이 증가되었고, 복제한우에서 발현이 감소되는 것으로는 vimentin, Rho-GDI-$\beta$, TRAST $\beta$-chain, ovarian sterol carrier protein 2, triosephosphate isomerase, tropemyosin beta chain, Aldose reductase 등으로 나타났다. 이러한 protein들은 inositol 지질 신호전달과 면역시스템, 세포분열, 산소 운반, steroidogenic 세포에서의 콜레스테롤 이동, 촉매 작용, 대사 작용 등에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 체세포 복제에 의한 태아사망 원인은 태반에서 이러한 protein들의 비정상적인 발현에 기인된 것으로 추정된다.

The effect of AF-toxin I produced by the strawberry pathotype of Alternaria alternata on the protein synthesis of susceptible strawberry protoplasts was examined by using the radiolabeled amino acids. The incorporation of the radiolabeled amino acids into newly synthesized proteins in the strawberry protoplasts was stimulated by the toxin treatment at relatively low concentrations (2.2$\times$10-11 to 2.2$\times$10-9 M), but not at higher concentrations (2.2$\times$10-8 to 2.2$\times$10-6 M). An one-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed no detectable differences in the proteins synthesized in both the toxintreated and untreated protoplasts. The susceptible strawberry protoplasts were treated with AF-toxin I and stained with Fluostain I to detect the extracellular polysaccharides. The toxin treatment induced the accumulation of extracellular polysccharides in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate a transient activation of cellular metabolism in the susceptible cells by the toxin exposure.

Objectives : Hippocampus, a region of temporal lobe, plays an important role in the pathogenic mechanisms of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, depression and temporal lobe epilepsy. This research is designed to investigate hippocampal changes after acupuncture stimulation at Shinmun(HT7) using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE). Methods : On postnatal-day 15, rat pups were randomly devided into Normal(NOR) or HT7 group. All of Pups kept with their mothers for 7 days, but pups in HT7 group received acupuncture stimulation at HT7 daily. On postnatal-day 21, hippocampus of each rat pup was dissceted 30 minutes after last acupuncture stimulation and the protein expressions were investigated using 2-DE. Results : After acupuncture stimulation at HT7, expression of 20 proteins were significantly increased. Succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-like, transketolase, aconitate hydratase and phosphoglucomutase-1 were related to glucose methabolism. Eukaryotic initiation factor(eIF) 4A-II, eIF 4A-III, mitochondrial Tu translation elongation factor and chain A of crystal structure of the 70-Kda heat shock cognate protein involve in the protein synthesis in ribosome. Tubulin ${\beta}$-4 chain, tubulin T ${\beta}$-15 and tubulin ${\alpha}$-1B chain comprise cytoskeleton. Glutathione S-transferase(GST) ${\omega}$-1, GST P and GST Yb-3 can reduce oxidative stress. ${\beta}$-soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein is required for vesicular transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase plays a major role in lipid biosynthesis, creatine kinase U-type catalyses the conversion of creatine and consumes adenosine triphosphate to create phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate. Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit alpha and voltage depedent anion-selective channel protein 2 were also increased. Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture stimulation at HT7 may enhance glucose and lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, cytoskeletal substance and anti-oxidative stress in hippocampus.

Microarray and proteomic expression patterns in response to cadmium exposure were analyzed in human lung epithelial cells. Among 35,000 genes analyzed by cDNA microarray, 228 genes were up-regulated and 99 genes were down-regulated, based on a fold change cut-off value of ${\geq}2$. Combining two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS), 25 of 629 protein spots showed fold changes in expression ${\geq}2$ (17 up-regulated, 8 down-regulated). After comparing the cDNA microarray and proteomic analyses, only transglutaminase 2, translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase showed overlapping signals in the cDNA microarray and proteomic analyses, whereas the remaining differentially expressed proteins showed large discrepancies with respect to mRNA expression.
