We have previously investigated the proteome changes of rice leaves under heat stress (Lee et al. in Proteomics 2007a, 7:3369-3383), wherein a group of antioxidant proteins and heat shock proteins (HSPs) were found to be regulated differently. The present study focuses on the biochemical changes and gene expression profiles of heat shock protein and antioxidant genes in rice leaves in response to heat stress ($42^{\circ}C$) during a wide range of exposure times. The results show that hydrogen peroxide and proline contents increased significantly, suggesting an oxidative burst and osmotic imbalance under heat stress. The mRNA levels of chaperone 60, HSP70, HSP100, chloroplastic HSP26, and mitochondrial small HSP responded rapidly and showed maximum expression after 0.5 or 2 h under heat stress. Transcript levels of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) showed a rapid and marked accumulation upon heat stress. While prolonged exposure to heat stress resulted in increased transcript levels of monodehydroascorbate reductase, peroxidase, glyoxalase 1, glutathione reductase, thioredoxin peroxidase, 2-Cysteine peroxiredoxin, and nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1, while the transcription of catalase was suppressed. Consistent with their changes in gene expression, the enzyme activities of APX and DHAR also increased significantly following exposure to heat stress. These results suggest that oxidative stress is usually caused by heat stress, and plants apply complex HSP- and antioxidant-mediated defense mechanisms to cope with heat stress.

본 연구에서는 수온 증가에 따른 북방전복 (Haliotis discus hannai) 과 둥근전복 (H. discus discus) hemolymph의 생리 및 면역학적 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 위 두 종을 20, 22, 24, 26 및 $28^{\circ}C$ 수온에 각각 4 일간 노출시켰다. 노출 결과, hemolymph의 total-protein (TP), glucose, 칼슘 (Ca) 은 둥근전복이 북방전복보다 높은 값을 보였으나, 마그네슘 (Mg), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 및 lysozyme은 두 종에서 유사한 값을 보였다. 수온 증가에 따른 hemolymph의 TP, glucose 및 마그네슘은 두 전복 모두에서 유의한 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 칼슘과 면역관련 인자인 ALP 및 lysozyme은 둥근전복에서 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 북방전복에서는 $26^{\circ}C$ 또는 $28^{\circ}C$의 고수온에 노출되었을 때, 유의하게 높은 활성을 보였다. 한편 phenoloxidase (PO)는 북방전복에서 높은 값을 보였으며, 수온이 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 북방전복은 둥근전복과 달리 여러 지표에서 유의한 변화가 관찰된 것으로 보아 북방전복이 둥근전복보다 고수온에 보다 민감한 것으로 사료된다.

Arabidopsis thaliana의 에틸렌 관련 돌연변이체인 에틸렌 과다 생성 돌연변이체(eto1-1)와 에틸렌에 대한 반응이 둔감한 돌연변이체(etr1-3과 ein2-1)의 생리·생화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 2∼3주된 Arabidopsis 식물로부터 얻은 성숙한 잎을 재료로 이용하였다. 에틸렌 생성량은 eto1-1은 야생형의 2배, etr1-3은 야생형의 4배, 그리고 ein2-1은 야생형의 4.5배 더 많았다. eto1-1에서의 ACC synthase와 ACC oxidase 활성은 야생형과 비슷하였으나 ACC 함량은 야생형보다 4.5배 더 많았다. ACC-N-malo-nyltransferase의 활성은 eto1-1이 야생형보다 3배 더 높았으며 SAM synthetase의 활성은 야생형보다 1.5배 더 높았다. 이들 결과로부터 eto1-1로의 변형은 SAM에서 ACC로 전환하는 과정 이전에 있음을 추측할 수 있다. etr1-3과 ein2-1에서 ACC synthase의 활성은 야생형보다 높았으나 ACC oxidase의 활성은 야생형보다 낮았다. 그러나 SAM synthetase 활성은 etr1-3에서는 야생형과 비슷하였고 ein2-1에서는 야생형보다 1.7배 높았다. 이것은 etr1-3과 ein2-1이 에틸렌에 대한 반응에 결함이 있기 때문에 그것으로 인하여 자가 조절이 되지 않았기 때문으로 추정된다. etr1-3의 ACC 함량은 야생형보다 2.3배 더 많았으며 ACC N-malonyltransferase의 활성은 야생형보다 3.9배 더 높았다. 그리고 ein2-1의 ACC 함량은 야생형보다 1.7배 더 많았으며 ACC N-malonyltransferase의 활성이 촉진된 것으로 추정된다. In vitro kinase assay를 한 결과 eto1-1과 ein2-1에서 36 kDa 단백질의 인산화를 관찰할 수 있었다.

Rice Oryza sativa accelerated cell death and resistance 1 (OsACDR1) encodes a putative Raf-like mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK). We had previously reported upregulation of the OsACDR1 transcript by a range of environmental stimuli involved in eliciting defense-related pathways. Here we apply biochemical, gain and loss-of-function approaches to characterize OsACDR1 function in rice. The OsACDR1 protein showed autophosphorylation and possessed kinase activity. Rice plants overexpressing OsACDR1 exhibited spontaneous hypersensitive response (HR)-like lesions on leaves, upregulation of defense-related marker genes and accumulation of phenolic compounds and secondary metabolites (phytoalexins). These transgenic plants also acquired enhanced resistance to a fungal pathogen (Magnaporthe grisea) and showed inhibition of appressorial penetration on the leaf surface. In contrast, loss-of-function and RNA silenced OsACDR1 rice mutant plants showed downregulation of defense-related marker genes expressions and susceptibility to M. grisea. Furthermore, transient expression of an OsACDR1:GFP fusion protein in rice protoplast and onion epidermal cells revealed its localization to the nucleus. These results indicate that OsACDR1 plays an important role in the positive regulation of disease resistance in rice.

Background/Aims: Recently reported prognostic models for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) have been shown to be effective in Western populations but have not been well-validated in Asian patients. This study aimed to compare the performance of prognostic models in Korean patients and to investigate whether inflammation-based scores can further help in prognosis prediction. Methods: This study included 271 consecutive patients diagnosed with PBC in Korea. The following prognostic models were evaluated: the Barcelona model, the Paris-I/II model, the Rotterdam criteria, the GLOBE score and the UK-PBC score. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was analyzed with reference to its association with prognosis. Results: For predicting liver transplant or death at the 5-year and 10-year follow-up examinations, the UK-PBC score (areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUCs], 0.88 and 0.82) and GLOBE score (AUCs, 0.85 and 0.83) were significantly more accurate in predicting prognosis than the other scoring systems (all p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the performance of the UK-PBC and GLOBE scores. In addition to the prognostic models, a high NLR (>2.46) at baseline was an independent predictor of reduced transplant-free survival in the multivariate analysis (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.74; p<0.01). When the NLR was applied to the prognostic models, it significantly differentiated the prognosis of patients. Conclusions: The UK-PBC and GLOBE scores showed good prognostic performance in Korean patients with PBC. In addition, a high NLR was associated with a poorer prognosis. Including the NLR in prognostic models may further help to stratify patients with PBC.

Objective: The study was designed to investigate the effects of restraint method, restraint duration, and body weight on stress-linked hormones (corticosterone, adrenaline, and noradrenaline), blood biochemical (namely glucose and lactate), and the meat quality in broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 120 male broiler chickens (Cobb 500) were assigned to a $2{\times}3{\times}2$ factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design using two restraint methods (shackle and cone), three durations of restraint (10, 30, and 60 s), and two categories of live body weight ($1.8{\pm}0.1kg$ as lightweight and $2.8{\pm}0.1kg$ as heavyweight). Results: Irrespective of the duration of restraint and body weight, the coned chickens were found to have lower plasma corticosterone (p<0.01), lactate (p<0.001), lower meat drip loss (p<0.01), cooking loss (p<0.05), and higher blood loss (p<0.05) compared with their shackled counterparts. The duration of restraint had significant effects on the meat initial pH (p<0.05), ultimate pH (p<0.05), and yellowness (p<0.01). The lightweight broilers exhibited higher (p<0.001) blood loss and lower (p<0.05) cooking loss compared to the heavyweight broilers, regardless of the restraint method used and the duration of restraint. However, the interaction between the restraint method, duration of restraint, and body weight contributed to differences in pre-slaughter stress and meat quality. Therefore, the interaction between the restraint method and the duration of restraint affected the meat shear force, lightness ($L^*$) and redness ($a^*$). Conclusion: The duration of restraint and body weight undoubtedly affect stress responses and meat quality of broiler chickens. Regardless of the duration of restraint and body weight, the cone restraint resulted in notably lower stress, lower meat water loss, and higher blood loss compared to shackling. Overall, the findings of this study showed that restraint method, duration of restraint, and body weight may affect the stress response and meat quality parameters in broilers and should be considered independently or interactively in future studies.
