  • This study aimed to investigate changes in the activity and mRNA expression of plasminogen activators (PAs) induced by $17{\beta}$-estradiol ($E_2$), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) in porcine endometrial cells. Endometrial cells were isolated from the epithelium and cultured to 80% confluence. They were then treated for 24 h with $E_2$ (0.2, 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL), $IL-1{\beta}$ (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL), and hCG (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 IU/mL). mRNA expressions of urokinase-type (uPA) and tissue-type (tPA) PAs were analyzed using reverse transcription PCR, and activities were measured using a PA activity assay. mRNA expressions of uPA and tPA increased with $E_2$ treatment; however, this was not significant. Similarly, treatment with hCG did not influence the mRNA expressions of PAs. Interestingly, treatment with 0.1 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ significantly reduced the mRNA expression of uPA, but did not affect that of tPA. Treatment with 2, 20, and 200 ng/mL $E_2$ increased PA activity compared with the control group; treatment with 0.1 and 1 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ significantly increased PA activity compared with the other $IL-1{\beta}$ treatment groups, whereas treatment with 10 and 100 ng/mL $IL-1{\beta}$ decreased. Treatment with 2 IU/mL hCG increased PA activity compared with the other treatment groups, although there were no significant differences between the hCG and control groups. In conclusion, the activity and mRNA expression of PAs were differently regulated by the hormone/cytokine and its concentration in porcine endometrial cells. Therefore, understanding PA regulatory mechanisms may help to improve the reproductive potential of domestic animals.

자궁내막증 환자와 정상 여성의 자궁내막에서 TIMP-3와 PAI-1 mRNA 발현 차이에 관한 연구 (Endometrium from Women with Endometriosis Expresses Decreased Levels of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3 Compared to Normal Endometrium)

  • 자궁내막증은 흔한 부인과적 질병이며 여성 불임의 한 원인이 되나 그 발생 원인에 대하여서는 아직 논란의 여지가 많다. 최근 월경혈의 역류가 한 원인이며 자궁내막증 환자가 정상여성에서 보다 역류되는 월경혈의 양이 많거나 침습성이 강한 것이 자궁내막증의 발생 원인이 될 수 있다는 이론들이 소개되었다. 종양이나 자궁내막 조직의 침습이나 전이에는 세포막외 기질 및 기저막의 파괴가 일어나야 하는데 이 과정에 plasminogen activators (PAs)나 matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs)같은 proteolytic enzyme이 관여한다. 이에 자궁 내막증환자와 대조군의 자궁내막에서 PA나 MMP를 억제하는 plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)나 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-3)의 mRNA 발현의 차이를 quantitative competitive RT PCR로 연구하였으며, 그 결과 자궁내막증 환자의 황체기 자궁내막에서는 정상 대조군 환자에서 보다 PAI-1과 TIMP-3 mRNA발현이 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 자궁내막증 환자의 자궁내막에서는 PA와 MMP의 활성도가 증가할 수 있으며 이 증가된 proteolytic activity로 인하여 역류된 자궁내 막 조직의 복강내 침습이 보다 쉽게 일어날 가능성이 있다.

  • 본 연구에서는 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 결합재의 반응성을 정량적으로 살펴보기 위해 미소수화열을 분석을 수행하였다. 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 결합재의 반응성 및 작업성 확보를 위해 다양한 알칼리 자극제의 종류 및 농도에 대해서 실험을 수행하였다. 알칼리 자극제 및 $SO_3$ 질량비를 변화하면서 미소수화열을 측정하였으며, 응결시간 제어를 위해 sodium tripolyphosphate ($Na_2P_3O_{10}$)와 hydrated sodium borate ($Na_2B_4O_710H_2O$)를 적용하였다. 그 결과, 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 결합재는 알칼리 활성에 의해 calcium silicate hydrate(C-S-H)를 촉진하는데 4~5% 농도의 알칼리가 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, $SO_3$ 함량이 높아질수록 누적 발열량이 작아지면서 전반적으로 발열이 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 응결 지연제로서 hydrated sodium borate를 사용하였을 경우 발열을 억제하여 지연된 효과를 나타내며, 전체적인 누적 발열을 지연시키는 효과를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Plasminogen activators (PA)는 다수의 세포 형태에서 분비되는 것으로 알려진 serine protease이다. PA는 섬유소 용해, 배란, 유선 퇴화, 착상 및 수정 등 다양한 생리적인 과정에 관여한다. 본 연구는 난포액이 돼지 난자의 체외성숙에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위하여, 다양한 조건하에서의 돼지 난자의 성숙과 난구세포-난자 복합체(Cumulus-Oocyte complexes: COCs) 또는 conditioned medium 내의 PA 활성을 검토하였다. 직경 2∼6m 난포로부터 COCs를 회수하여 일부는 난구세포를 제거하였다.

  • The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a primary regulator of lipid metabolism. Potency for activation of PPAR$\gamma$, one of a subfamily of PPARs, particularly mirrors glucose lowering activity. We prepared thiazolidinediones featuring benzoxazole moiety for subtype selective PPAR$\gamma$ activators. 5-[4-[2-(Benzoxazol-2-yl-alkylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]thiazolidine-2,4-diones have been prepared by Mitsunobu reaction of benzoxazolylalkylaminoethanol 8 and hydroxybenzylthiazolidinedione 6 and their activities were evaluated. Most compounds tested were identified as potent PPAR$\gamma$ agonists.

  • In this study, non-sintering cement is produced by only blending granulate blast furnace slag with phosphogypsum as main materials, and small amounts of hydrate lime or waste lime as activators. This paper was investigated physical properties of fresh concrete and hardened concrete using non-clinker cement according to various mixing ratio. Results obtained from this study have shown that concrete using non-clinker cement could be used for structural concrete and concrete 2th production as binder.

  • The hydration reaction of the slag-gypsum system was studied by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, optical icroscopic observation, and measurement of heat liberation of hydration. 1. Domestic granulated slag was almost noncrystalized state, and its mineral compositions calculated were 46.53% of gehlenite, 28.14% of akermanite, and 19.04% of wollastonite. 2. The slag quenched with water at relatively high temperature had better reactivity. 3. The production of ettringite, CSH gel and AH3 gel were stimulated by effect of $Ca(OH)_2$, $Mg(OH)_2$ and calcined dolomite as activators, and the strength of hardened body would be developed by forming compacted microstructure.
