To clarify the role of stem cells in hepatocarcinogenesis, glypican-3 (GPC-3) and E-cadherin expression was investigated in embryonic cell lineages. Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) and hepatocyte like cells (HCs), representing 0, 22 and 40 days of differentiation, respectively, were treated in vitro with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) at four doses (0, 1, 5 and 15 mM; G1, G2, G3 and G4, respectively) for 24 h and GPC-3 and E-cadherin expression was examined by relative quantitative real-time PCR and immunocytochemistry. GPC-3 mRNA expression was significantly different for G4 at day 0 (p<0.001) and for G4 at day 22 (p<0.01) compared with the control (G1). E-cadherin mRNA expression was significantly different for G3 and G4 at day 0 (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively), for G2 and G4 (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively) at day 22 and for G2 and G4 (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively) at day 40 compared with G1. Immunofluorescence staining for GPC-3 showed a membranous and/or granular expression in cytoplasm of ESCs and HPCs and granular and/or diffuse expression in cytoplasm of HCs, which were also stained by E-cadherin. DEN treatment increased GPC-3 expression in ESCs, HPCs and HCs, with increase of E-cadherin expression. Taken together, the expression of GPC-3 was altered by DEN treatment. However, its expression pattern was different at the stage of embryo stem cells and its derived hepatic lineage cells. This suggests that GPC-3 expression may be modulated in the progeny of stem cells during their differentiation toward hepatocytes, associated with E-cadherin expression.

Chloroacylation of 3-amino-2-phenylpyrazole-4-carboxamide (2) using chloroacetyl-(propionyl) chloride affording 6-chloromethyl(ethyl)-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4[5H]-one (3) or (6). Chlorine atom in compound (3) or (6) underwent nucleophilic substitution reaction with primary or secondary amines to give 6-alkyl(aryl)aminomethyl(ethyl)-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4[5H]-one (4a-g,7a-f). When arylaminomethyl( ethyl)pyrazolopyrimidine was treated with formaline (30%) solution in ethanol, underwent Mannich reaction to afford imidazopyrazolopyrimidines (5a-e) and pyrazolopyrimidopyrimidines (8a-e). Chloromethylpyrimidine derivative 3 was converted into the corresponding mercaptomethylpyrazolopyrimidene 9, Which cyclized using bromomalononitrile or phenacyl bromide into pyrazolopyrimidothiazine 11,12.

Triclosan (TCS) and bisphenol A (BPA) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that interfere with the hormone or endocrine system and may cause cancer. Kaempferol (Kaem) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) are phytoestrogens that play chemopreventive roles in the inhibition of carcinogenesis and cancer progression. In this study, the influence of TCS, BPA, Kaem, and DIM on proliferation and apoptotic abilities of VM7Luc4E2 breast cancer cells were examined. MTT assay revealed that TCS ($0.1-10{\mu}M$), BPA ($0.1-10{\mu}M$) and E2 ($0.01-0.0001{\mu}M$) induced significant cell proliferation of VM7Luc4E2 cells, which was restored to the control (0.1% DMSO) by co-treatment with Kaem ($30{\mu}M$) or DIM ($15{\mu}M$). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production assays showed that TCS and BPA inhibited ROS production of VM7Luc4E2 cells similar to E2, but that co-treatment with Kaem or DIM on VM7Luc4E2 cells induced increased ROS production. Based on these results, the effects of TCS, BPA, Kaem, and DIM on protein expression of apoptosis and ROS production-related markers such as Bax and Bcl-xl, as well as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related markers such as $eIF2{\alpha}$ and CHOP were investigated by Western blot assay. The results revealed that TCS, and BPA induced anti-apoptosis by reducing ROS production and ER stress. However, Kaem and DIM effectively inhibited TCS and BPA-induced anti-apoptotic processes in VM7Luc4E2 cells. Overall, TCS and BPA were revealed to be distinct xenoestrogens that enhanced proliferation and anti-apoptosis, while Kaem and DIM were identified as natural chemopreventive compounds that effectively inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation and increased anti-apoptosis induced by TCS and BPA.

Background: IgE is closely related to the development of allergies. However, the poor relationship between the specific IgE level and the severity of allergic diseases suggests the possibility of functionally different IgE isoforms. With this in mind, rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 activation was analyzed with each type of rat IgE for two parameters, exocytosis and IL-4 mRNA production. RBL-2H3 has been well documented in the rat mucosal mast cell line. Methods: RBL-2H3 cells sensitized with each kind of rat IgE was activated by cross-linking FcRI with B5 (monoclonal anti-rat IgE mouse IgG antibodies). The RBL-2H3 exocytosis was measured by analyzing the ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase level, and the level of IL-4 mRNA synthesis was analyzed using semiquantitative RT-PCR. Rat IgE, which was produced by a parasite infection (REP), was prepared using either Paragonimus westermani metacercariae (REP-PW) or Anisakis simplex third stage larvae (REP-AS). A rat IgE prototype of IR162 was prepared by a peritoneal injection of immunocytoma. Results: The level of exocytosis showed a linear relationship with the rat IgE concentration when REP-PW or REP-AS was applied. However, it exhibited a biphasic response with IR162. In addition, the time course of heating at $56^{\circ}C$ illustrated the similarity between REP-PW and REP-AS, which differed from that of IR162. In contrast, the level of IL-4 mRNA synthesis in the RBL-2H3 cells with IR162 was comparable to that of either REP-PW or REP-AS. Conclusion: These results suggest that functionally different rat IgE isoforms exists in RBL-2H3 exocytosis.

We investigated the in vitro effects of nonylphenol (NP) and 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) on steroidogenesis in redlip mullet, Chelon haematocheilus, oocytes. In experiment 1, we investigated the effects of NP and PCB126 on steroid production from exogenous steroid precursors. Vitellogenic oocytes (0.75 mm in diameter) were incubated with 10 and 100 ng/ml NP or PCB126 with $[^3H]17{\alpha}$-hydroxyprogesterone as a precursor. The major metabolites produced were androstenedione, testosterone (T), estrone, and estradiol-$17{\beta}$ ($E_2$). Both NP and PCB126 increased T production and decreased $E_2$ production, except for 100 ng/ml PCB126. In experiment 2, oocytes (0.65-0.75 mm in diameter) were exposed to NP and PCB126 at different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL). After the incubation, T and $E_2$ production was measured by radioimmunoassay. NP inhibited $E_2$ production at concentrations of 0.01 and 0.1 ng/ml in 0.75-mm-diameter oocytes. NP at 1 and 100 ng/mL stimulated T production, but had no observable effect on $E_2$ production. PCB126 treatment did not affect $E_2$ production at any of the concentrations tested. NP alone at 0.1 ng/mL resulted in a significant decrease in $E_2$ production in 0.65-mm-diameter oocytes. PCB126 did not show any significant effects on either T or $E_2$ production at all concentrations tested. These results suggest that NP acts like an antiestrogen at lower concentrations (0.01-0.1 ng/ml) in vitellogenic oocytes of redlip mullet.

본 연구는 하수오에서 분리한 PM-E와 PM-70M를 이용하여 GATA-3의존성 Th2세포 조절과 IgE 억제 효과를 실험하였다. 하수오를 물질분리하여 GATA-3 전사인자 활성을 억제하는 하수오 물질분획층이 흡착크로마토그래피를 통하여 70% 메탄올층에 포함되어 있다고 분석하였다. 그 결과 PM-70 %MFL 분획이 Th2 사이토카인을 조절하는 GATA-3를 억제하여 항알레르기 작용 효과가 있다고 생각된다. 하수오를 흡착크로마토그래피로 분리하여 분획들을 anti-CD40/rmIL-4와 동시 배양하여 B세포에서 IgE 분비를 억제하는지를 알아본 결과, PM-30M층, PM-70A, 그리고 PM-30A층의 IL-6와 TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA, IgE 분비량은 대조군과 차이가 없었다. 그러나 IL-6와 TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA 유전자 발현은 각각 $0.69{\pm}0.058$(p<0.001)과 $0.72{\pm}0.58$ (p<0.05)로 대조군에 비하여 30% 이상 유의하게 억제하였다. IgE 분비량은 $94.6{\pm}16.0$으로 대조군에 비교하였을 때 45.6% 이상 유의하게 감소를 나타내었다 (p<0.01). 본 연구를 통해 하수오의 분획중 PM-70 %MFL층에 B세포의 분화 및 활성을 억제하는 성분이 포함된 것으로 사료된다.

우리나라 남동해안의 대보-감포간 해안단구는 6개의 단구면으로 분류되며 이들은 각각 하위로부터 1단구(T1,0.5m), 2단구(T2, 10m), 3단구(T3, 30m), 4단구(T4, 40m), 5단구(T5, 60m), 6단구(T6, 75m)이다. 이가운데 3단구(T3)는 두개의 단구로 분류되며, 하위면을 T3b, 상위면을 T3a 정하였다. 3단구 하위면 (T3b)의 구정선을 보여주는 해식애의 발달이 뚜렷하지 않아 단구 세분이 어려운 곳은 통합하여 3단구(T3)로 정하였다. 단구형성시기를 직접적으로 지시해주는 화석은 없으나, 2단구의 퇴적층에서 OSL 연대 자료가 다량 도출되어 있으며, 이 자료를 통하여 단구 형성시기를 정할 수 있다. 2단구(T2) 퇴적층의 OSL 연대는 60-7Oka에 수렴하고 있어, 2단구의 형성시기는 MIS(산소동위원소에 의한 시대 분류)의 5a로. 추정할 수 있다. 따라서 3단구는 MIS 5e, 4단구는 MIS 7에 대비된다. 본 연구지역에서 MIS 5e인 3단구 상위면(T3a)은 현해수면으로부터 30m높게 융기되어 있으며, 따라서 이지역의 융기율은 약 0.19m/ka로 계산된다. 이와 같은 융기율은 국지적인 지구조운동에 기인한 것으로 해석되며, 이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다.
