역병은 세계적으로 고추에 발생하는 병 중 가장 문제시 되는 병해로 국내 83개 지역에서 채집한 재래종 고추 유전자원 중 300개를 선발하여 공시하였다. 파종 후 온실에서 70일간 육묘하였고 공시한 역병균의 유주자낭 농도를 $10^5/mL$으로 하여 주당 5mL 관주접종 후, 습실 처리하였고 1주 간격으로 4주간 이병주율을 조사하였다. 접종 7일 후 이병주율을 조사하였더니, 공시한 300개 고추 자원 중 67개 자원에서 이병주율이 60.1% 이상으로 높은 감수성을 보였으며, 37개 자원은 접종 후 7일까지 전혀 발병하지 않았다. 역병균 접종 28일 후, 공시한 300점의 고추자원 중 244개 자원은 60% 이상의 이병주율을 보여 역병에 대해 감수성을 나타내었으며, 11개 자원은 20% 미만의 이병주율을 보여 중도저항성을 보였고, 5개 자원은 전혀 발병하지 않아 저항성을 나타내었다. 5개 자원의 저항성 고추유전자원은 역병저항성 고추 품종 육종에 유용한 중간모본으로 사용될 것으로 생각된다. 본 실험의 정밀도를 높이기 위해 분자마커를 활용한 추가실험이 진행된다면 고추유전자원의 역병 저항성에 대한 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

We have studied, by a nonisotopic in situ end-labeling(ISEL) technique, frequency of apoptosis in the external granular layer(EGL) of the cerebellum of immature mice by ${\gamma}$-rays irradiation from $^{60}Co$ or diagnostic ultrasound exposure. The total number of normal cells and cells showing morphological features of apoptosis were counted. The frequency of apoptotic cells was expressed as a percentage of the total number of cells in EGL. The extent of changes following 200 cGy(1090 cGy/min) was studied at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours after exposure. The maximal frequency was found 6~8 hours after exposure. The immature mice that received 18, 36, 54, 108, 198, 396 cGy of ${\gamma}$-rays or diagnostic ultrasound(7.5MHz, 4.2mW, $I_{SPTA}=7.9mW/cm^2$, $I_{SPTA}=114.3W/cm^2$) for 10 or 30 minutes were examined 6 hours after irradiation. Measurements performed after ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation showed a dose-related increase in apoptotic cells in each of the mice studied. The dose-response curves were analyzed by a linear-quadratic model ; frequency of apoptotic cell in the EGL was y = $(0.1349{\pm}0.01175)D$+$(-0.0001522{\pm}0.0000334)D^2$+0.048($r^2$ = 0.981, D = dose in cGy). In the experiment of ultrasound exposure, the frequency of apoptotic cell was $0.106{\pm}0.130$(10 minutes exposure) and $0.167{\pm}0.220$(30 minutes exposure). We estimated the relative dose of the yield from the experiment with ultrasound by substituting the yield from ultrasound exposure into the curve from the ${\gamma}$-irradiation. The relative dose of ultrasound exposure compared with ${\gamma}$-irradiation were 0.432 cGy(10 minutes exposure) and 0.885 cGy(30 minutes exposure). We have found that there is no evidence to indicate that diagnostic ultrasound involves a significant risk.

Objectives : In the present study, we investigated the effects of ethanol extract of Scutellaria baicalensis (EESB) on the progression of cell cycle in human renal cell carcinoma Caki-1 cells. Methods : The effects of EESB on cell growth and apoptosis induction were evaluated by trypan blue dye exclusion assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The mRNA and protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Results : It was found that EESB treatment on Caki-1 cells resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth and induced apoptotic cell death as detected by Annexin V-FITC staining. The flow cytometric analysis indicated that EESB resulted in G2/M arrest in cell cycle progression which was associated with the down-regulation of cyclin A expression. Our results also revealed that treatment with EESB increased the mRNA and proteins expression of tumor suppressor p53 and cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1), without any noticeable changes in cyclin B1, Cdk2 and Cdc2. In addition, the incubation of cells with EESB resulted in a significant increase in the binding of p21 and Cdk2 and Cdc2. These findings suggest that EESB-induced G2/M arrest and apoptosis in Caki-1 cells is mediated through the p53-mediated upregulation of Cdk inhibitor p21. Conclusions : Taken together, these findings suggest that EESB may be a potential chemotherapeutic agent and further studies will be needed to identify the biological active compounds that confer the anti-cancer activity of S. baicalensis.

Genomics is providing targets faster than we can validate them and combinatorial chemistry is providing new chemical entities faster than we can screen them. Historically, the drug discovery cascade has been established as a sequential process initiated with a potency screening against a selected biological target. In this sequential process, pharmacokinetics was often regarded as a low-throughput activity. Typically, limited pharmacokinetics studies would be conducted prior to acceptance of a compound for safety evaluation and, as a result, compounds often failed to reach a clinical testing due to unfavorable pharmacokinetic characteristics. A new paradigm in drug discovery has emerged in which the entire sample collection is rapidly screened using robotized high-throughput assays at the outset of the program. Higher-throughput pharmacokinetics (HTPK) is being achieved through introduction of new techniques, including automation for sample preparation and new experimental approaches. A number of in vitro and in vivo methods are being developed for the HTPK. In vitro studies, in which many cell lines are used to screen absorption and metabolism, are generally faster than in vivo screening, and, in this sense, in vitro screening is often considered as a real HTPK. Despite the elegance of the in vitro models, however, in vivo screenings are always essential for the final confirmation. Among these in vivo methods, cassette dosing technique, is believed the methods that is applicable in the screening of pharmacokinetics of many compounds at a time. The widespread use of liquid chromatography (LC) interfaced to mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) allowed the feasibility of the cassette dosing technique. Another approach to increase the throughput of in vivo screening of pharmacokinetics is to reduce the number of sample analysis. Two common approaches are used for this purpose. First, samples from identical study designs but that contain different drug candidate can be pooled to produce single set of samples, thus, reducing sample to be analyzed. Second, for a single test compound, serial plasma samples can be pooled to produce a single composite sample for analysis. In this review, we validated the issue whether the second method can be applied to practical screening of in vivo pharmacokinetics using data from seven of our previous bioequivalence studies. For a given drug, equally spaced serial plasma samples were pooled to achieve a 'Pooled Concentration' for the drug. An area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) was then calculated theoretically using the pooled concentration and the predicted AUC value was statistically compared with the traditionally calculated AUC value. The comparison revealed that the sample pooling method generated reasonably accurate AUC values when compared with those obtained by the traditional approach. It is especially noteworthy that the accuracy was obtained by the analysis of only one sample instead of analyses of a number of samples that necessitates a significant man-power and time. Thus, we propose the sample pooling method as an alternative to in vivo pharmacokinetic approach in the selection potential lead(s) from combinatorial libraries.

Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the M. tuberculosis complex (MTC), is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis. Detection of M. bovis and M. tuberculosis using conventional culture- and biochemical-based assays is time-consuming. Therefore, a simple and sensitive molecular assay for rapid detection would be of great help in specific situations such as faster diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) infection in the abattoirs. We developed a novel multiplex real-time PCR assay which was applied directly to biological samples with evidence of bTB and it was allowed to differentiate between M. bovis and M. tuberculosis. The primers and TaqMan probes were designed to target the IS1081 gene, the multi-copy insertion element in the MTC and the 12.7-kb fragment which presents in M. tuberculosis, not in the M. bovis genome. The assay was optimized and validated by testing 10 species of mycobacteria including M. bovis and M. tuberculosis, and 10 other bacterial species such as Escherichia coli, and cattle lymph nodes (n=113). The tests identified 96.4% (27/28) as M. bovis from the MTC-positive bTB samples using conventional PCR for specific insertion elements IS1081. And MTC-negative bTB samples (n=85) were tested using conventional PCR and the real-time PCR. When comparative analyses were conducted on all bovine samples, using conventional PCR as the gold standard, the relative accuracy of real-time PCR was 99.1%, the relative specificity was 100%, and the agreement quotient (kappa) was 0.976. The detection limits of the real-time PCR assays for M. bovis and M. tuberculosis genomic DNA were 10 fg and 0.1 pg per PCR reaction, respectively. Consequently, this multiplex real-time PCR assay is a useful diagnotic tool for the identification of MTC and differentiation of M. bovis and M. tuberculosis, as well as the epidemiologic surveillance of animals slaughtered in abattoir.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 주로 소비되는 국내산 및 수입산 참돔의 일반성분과 중금속 함량을 비교 분석하였고 생리활성을 비교하기 위하여 참돔을 용매의 극성에 따라 추출하여 항산화 및 세포독성 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 수입산과 비교했을 때 국내산 참돔은 높은 함량의 수분과 낮은 함량의 조지방, 조단백질 및 회분을 나타내었다. 국내산 및 수입산 참돔의 중금속 함량을 비교한 결과 원산지에 따른 유의적 차이를 보였으며 국내산 참돔의 수은 함량은 0.08 mg/kg으로 수입산 참돔보다 높은 함량을 나타내었으나 납의 경우 원산지에 따른 유의적 차이는 보이지 않았다. 국내산 및 수입산 참돔의 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물을 인체 섬유육종세포(HT-1080)에 처리하였을 때, 세포 내 활성산소종 생성 저해효과를 살펴 본 실험 결과, 국내산 및 수입산 참돔 추출물들에 의한 활성산소종 생성 억제효과를 비교해 보면 수입산 참돔 추출물에 의한 저해효과가 높았으며 두 추출물들 중 MeOH 추출물에 의한 저해효과가 높았음을 알 수 있었다. 인체 암세포들(AGS 및 HT-29)들에 대한 세포독성 활성 결과에서 AGS 암세포의 경우 국내산 참돔 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물들에 의한 세포독성 효과가 수입산 참돔A+M 추출물들보다 높았다. HT-29 암세포에 대해서는 국내산 참돔A+M 추출물에 의한 세포독성 효과가 수입산 참돔 A+M 추출물에 의한 것보다 높았고 MeOH 추출물에 의한 세포독성 효과는 유사했다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 기초자료로 하여 향후 참돔의 다양한 생리활성 규명이 필요하다고 사료된다.

본 연구는 시판되고 있는 막걸리의 저장 온도에 따른 BA 생성의 차이를 비교하고, 시판 막걸리의 우점종을 찾아내어, 이 균을 멸균 막걸리에 접종함으로써 BA 생성여부를 확인하고자 하였다. 시판 막걸리 11종을 구입해 $4^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에서 각각 10일 동안 저장한 뒤 BA 함량을 확인한 결과, 생막걸리는 $4^{\circ}C$에 비해 $20^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 저장함에 따라 BA 양이 급격히 증가하였고, 살균막걸리는 온도에 따른 BA 변화가 없었다. 시판 막걸리에서 가장 많이 검출된 BA는 histamine과 putrescine이었다. $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 막걸리에 비해 $20^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 막걸리에서 미생물의 변성된 DNA band가 다양하게 나타났다. $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 시판 막걸리의 주된 bacteria는 Staphylococcus succinus와 Staphylococcus gallinarum, Lactobacillus (L). brevis, L. plantarum, L. fermentum였고, $20^{\circ}C$ 막걸리에서 공통적으로 증식한 균은 L. perolens, L. harbinensis, LBARR16SI L. brevis, L. plantarum, L. satsumensis이었다. 막걸리에서 분리한 18종의 colony 중 3종의 L. plantarum strains을 $4^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 보관한 신선한 막걸리를 멸균한 후 접종하고 BA 생성능을 비교한 결과, PLP나 아미노산을 첨가하지 않은 경우는 접종 후 15일까지 BA가 검출되지 않았다. 멸균막걸리에 PLP를 추가해준 경우 3종의 colony를 접종해준 모든 막걸리에서 15일까지 미량의 tyramine만 검출되었으며 PLP와 아미노산을 둘다 추가해준 경우 3종의 colony 모두 10일째와 15일째에 tyramine과 histamine이 검출되었다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 21일간 저장한 막걸리는 멸균 후 PLP만 추가해주어도 3종의 colony 모두 5일, 10일, 15일에 과량의 tyramine, histamine, putrescine, cadaverine이 검출되었다. 이런 결과로 볼 때, 막걸리를 저온 저장하지 않을 경우 막걸리 성분의 분해로 인하여 BA 양이 증가하며, 막걸리 저장 온도는 막걸리 미생물 양상에 매우 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 막걸리 유산균의 우점종인 L. plantarum은 막걸리에서 histamine, tyramine, putrescine과 cadaverine을 생성할 수 있음을 밝혀, 이것이 막걸리 BA 생성의 주요 원인균 중 하나임을 알 수 있었다. 이후 막걸리의 BA를 낮추기 위한 조건을 탐색하는 연구가 계속 진행될 필요가 있다.
