  • We have recently demonstrated that some anti-diabetic drugs such as biguanide and thizolidinediones administered centrally modulate the blood glucose level, suggesting that orally administered anti-diabetic drugs may modulate the blood glucose level by acting on central nervous system. The present study was designed to explore the possible action of another class of anti-diabetic drugs, glinidies, administered centrally on the blood glucose level in ICR mice. Mice were administered intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) or intrathecally (i.t.) with 5 to $30{\mu}g$ of repaglinide or nateglinide in D-glucose-fed and streptozotocin (STZ)-treated models. We found that i.c.v. or i.t. injection with repaglinide dose-dependently attenuated the blood glucose level in D-glucose-fed model, whereas i.c.v. or i.t. injection with nateglinide showed no modulatory action on the blood glucose level in D-glucose-fed model. Furthermore, the effect of repaglinide administered i.c.v. or i.t. on the blood glucose level in STZ-treated model was studied. We found that repaglinide administered i.c.v. slightly enhanced the blood glucose level in STZ-treated model. On the other hand, i.t. injection with repaglinide attenuated the blood glucose level in STZ-treated model. The plasma insulin level was enhanced by repaglinide in D-glucose-fed model, but repaglinide did not affect the plasma insulin level in STZ-treated model. In addition, nateglinide did not alter the plasma insulin level in both D-glucose-fed and STZ-treated models. These results suggest that the anti-diabetic action of repaglinide appears to be, at least, mediated via the brain and the spinal cord as revealed in both D-glucose fed and STZ-treated models.

  • 생체에서의 황화수소는 의약 분야와 발효 산업에 있어서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae을 이용하여 기질인 L-cysteine과 $\beta$-mercaptoethanol로부터 $\beta$-replacement 반응에 인한 황화수소를 발생시킬 수 있는 효소를 간편하고 신속하게 동정하는 방법의 확립을 목적으로 하였다. 효소에 의해 발생된 황화수소와 Pb-acetate의 반응으로 생성된 Pb-S를 gel상에서 간편하게 확인한 후, 확인된 단백질들을 이온교환컬럼를 수행한 후 gel에서 추출하는 방법으로 MALDI-TOFMS의 시료를 간단히 얻을 수 있었다. PMF 방법과 MS/MS ion search 분석을 통해 간편하게 효모에서 황화수소를 형성할 가능성이 있는 세가지 단백질의 동정에 성공하였다. 이 세 가지 단백질은 CYS3, CYS4, MET17 유전자의 단백질로서 cystathionine $\gamma$-lyase, CBS, OASS 임이 밝혀졌다. 그리고 이 세 단백질들은 L-cysteine과 $\beta$-mercaptoethanol의 존재하에서 황화수소를 실제로 생성함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 표적의 물질을 생산하는 단백질들을 젤상에서의 활성측정과 MALDI-TOF MS를 이용하여 간단히 그리고 정확하게 동정하는 방법을 확립하였다.

  • In the present study, the effect of intrathecal (i.t.) or intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration with cholera toxin (CTX) on the blood glucose level was examined in ICR mice. The i.t. treatment with CTX alone for 24 h dose-dependently increased the blood glucose level. However, i.c.v. treatment with CTX for 24 h did not affect the blood glucose level. When mice were orally fed with D-glucose (2 g/kg), the blood glucose level reached to a maximum level at 30 min and almost returned to the control level at 120 min after D-glucose feeding. I.c.v. pretreatment with CTX increased the blood glucose level in a potentiative manner, whereas i.t. pretreatment with CTX increased the blood glucose level in an additive manner in a D-glucose fed group. In addition, the blood glucose level was increased in formalin-induced pain animal model. I.c.v. pretreatment with CTX enhanced the blood glucose level in a potentiative manner in formalin-induced pain animal model. On the other hand, i.t. pretreatment with CTX increased the blood glucose level in an additive manner in formalin-induced pain animal model. Our results suggest that CTX administered supraspinally or spinally differentially modulates the regulation of the blood glucose level in D-glucose fed model as well as in formalin-induced pain model.

  • 쥐(태령 14일) 뇌간 세포배양에서 발달과정에 따른 Tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) 활성 및 dopamine의 양적 증가를 전기화학 HPLC를 이용하여 측정하였다. TH 활성 및 dopamine의 양은 배양 7일까지 점차 증가하였다. 배양 7일째에 여러 약물들의 dopamine 대사에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. TH 억제제인 ${\alpha}-methyl-p-tyrosine$ 및 aromatic amiono acid decarboxylase 억제제인 NSD-1015는 효과적으로 dopamine을 고갈시켰다. Dopamine은 reserpine에 의해 고갈되었고, parglyine에 의해 증가되었다. 일주일 배양한 세포의 배양액에 tetrodotoxin$(0.1\;{\mu}M$)을 7일간 투여하였을 때 TH 활성은 현저히 감소하였다. 이상의 결과들은 배양세포의 dopamine 대사가 뇌 dopamine 대사를 충실히 반영함을 나타낸다. 뇌간 세포의 배양에서 HPLC-전기화학검출을 이용한 TH 활성 및 dopamine의 측정은 중추 dopamine계의 약리 및 독성 연구에 유용하리라 사료된다.

  • 황소개구리(Rana catesbeiana) I (2월)과 II (8월) 조직의 젖산탈수소효소(EC. 1.1.1.27, lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) 동위효소의 발현 및 역학적 특성을 확인하였다. I의 골격근에서 LDH 활성, $A_4$ 동위효소 및 LDH/CS (EC 4.1.3.7, citrate synthase)가 높게 측정되었고, II의 여러 조직에서 LDH $B_4$ 동위효소의 활성이 증가되었으며, 특히 심장과 뇌조직에서 LDH 활성이 크게 확인되었다. 면역침강반응 후 native-PAGE에 의해 눈조직에서 LDH eye-specific C 동위효소가 확인되었고, LDH C가 LDH B에 유사한 것으로 확인되었다. LDH $A_4$ 동위효소를 oxamate-linked affinity chromatography로 정제하였고, 하부단위체 A의 분자량은 32.0 kDa이었다. II의 LDH는 $Km^{PYU}$이 높았고, 심장과 뇌조직의 $Vmax^{PYU}$이 높았으며, 조직들의 $Vmax^{LAC}$도 높고, 젖산에 대한 내성이 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 정제한 $B_4$ 동위효소와 눈조직 LDH가 젖산에 대한 내성이 가장 크게 확인되었다. $Km^{LAC}$$Km^{PYU}$보다 컸다. 피루브산 10 mM에 의해 I, II 조직 LDH의 하부단위체 B의 비가 증가함에 따라 LDH 활성의 억제정도가 높았다. 실험 결과, 황소개구리에서 LDH eye-specific C가 확인된 것이 특징적이었고, 황소개구리 I의 골격근 LDH의 활성이 높아 혐기적 대사가 우세하였으며, 황소개구리 II의 경우 LDH B가 증가되고 젖산에 대한 내성이 커져 잘 적응되어진 것으로 사료된다.

  • 개심술시 총순환정지는 매우 유용한 방법이나 뇌손상등 부작용으로 그 사용이 제한되고 있다. 이러한 뇌손상의 분석에 유용한 지표로서 뇌 허혈성 손상의 특이한 효소인 크레아티닌 카이네이즈 BB(CK-BB)의 유용성을 재고하고 뇌손상에 영향을 미치는 인자들의 분석을 시도하였다. 총순환정지를 이용하여 개심술을 시행한 18명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 이들은 다시 비청색증형 심기 형군과 청색증형 심기형군으로 나누어 각각 6명과 12명으로 하였다. 각 환자에서 총순환정지전 및 후 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, 720분에 동맥혈을 채취하여 CK-BB분획을 측정하였고 이와 동시에 혈색소농도, 이 온화 칼슘농도, 혈당량 등을 측정하였다. 총순환정지시간과 CK-BB와 통계적으로 유의한 관계를 보이는 채혈시간은 찾을 수 없었다. 또 총순환 정지전의 문제로 인한 영향을 줄이기 위하여 각각의 측정치에서 총순환정지전의 측정치를 뺀 값을 구하 여 각기 CKBBD15, CKBBD30....등으로 표시하고 상관관계를 구하였으나 역시 유의한 상관관계를 보이 지 않았다. CKBB30과 CKBBD30값은 비청색증형 군과 청색증형 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았 다. CK-BB농도와 혈색소 농도는 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 단일 채혈에 의한 CK-BB농도의 지표는 순환정지시간과 유의한 관계가 없음이 확인되었다. 또한 청색 증형 심질환군이 총순환정지에 의한 뇌손상에 비청색증형 심질환군에 비해 더 취약하지는 않은 것으로 생각된다.

  • Nesfatin-1/NUCB2, which is secreted from the brain, is known to control appetite and energy metabolism. Recent studies have been shown that nesfatin-1/NUCB2 was expressed not only in the brain, but it was also expressed in the gastric organs and adipose tissue. However, little is known about the expression of nesfatin-1/NUCB2 in the male reproductive system. Therefore, we examined whether the nesfatin-1/NUCB2 and its binding site exists in the male reproductive organs. Nesfatin-1/NUCB2 mRNA and protein were detected in the mouse testis and epididymis by PCR and Western blot analysis. As a result of the immunohistochemistry staining, the nesfatin-1 protein was localized at the interstitial cells and Leydig cells in the testis. Nesfatin-1 binding sites were also displayed at boundary cells in the tunica albuginea. Furthermore, in order to examine if the expression of nesfatin-1/NUCB2 mRNA in the testis and epididymis were affected by gonadotropin, its mRNA expression was analyzed after PMSG administration into mice. NUCB2 mRNA expression levels were increased in both of the testis and epididymis after PMSG administration. These results demonstrated for the first time that nesfatin-1 and its binding site were expressed in the mouse testis and epididymis. In addition, nesfatin-1/NUCB2 mRNA expression was controlled by gonadotropin, suggesting a possible role of nesfatin-1 in the male reproductive organs as a local regulator. Due to this, further study is needed to elucidate the functions of nesfatin-1 on the male reproductive system.

  • It is well known that oxidative stress participates in neuronal cell death caused production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The increased ROS is a major contributor to the development of ischemic injury. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) is involved in the kynurenine pathway in tryptophan metabolism and plays a role as an anti-oxidant. However, whether IDO-1 would inhibit hippocampal cell death is poorly known. Therefore, we explored the effects of cell permeable Tat-IDO-1 protein against oxidative stress-induced HT-22 cells and in a cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury model. Transduced Tat-IDO-1 reduced cell death, ROS production, and DNA fragmentation and inhibited mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activation in H2O2 exposed HT-22 cells. In the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury model, Tat-IDO-1 transduced into the brain and passing by means of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) significantly prevented hippocampal neuronal cell death. These results suggest that Tat-IDO-1 may present an alternative strategy to improve from the ischemic injury.

  • Objective : Decompressive craniectomy is an effective therapy to relieve high intracranial pressure after acute brain damage. However, the optimal timing for cranioplasty after decompression is still controversial. Many authors reported that early cranioplasty may contribute to improve the cerebral blood flow and brain metabolism. However, despite all the advantages, there always remains a concern that early cranioplasty may increase the chance of infection. The purpose of this retrospective study is to investigate whether the early cranioplasty increase the infection rate. We also evaluated the risk factors of infection following cranioplasty. Methods : We retrospectively examined the results of 131 patients who underwent cranioplasty in our institution between January 2008 and June 2015. We divided them into early (${\leq}90days$) and late (>90 days after craniectomy) groups. We examined the risk factors of infection after cranioplasty. We analyzed the infection rate between two groups. Results : There were more male patients (62%) than female (38%). The mean age was 49 years. Infection occurred in 17 patients (13%) after cranioplasty. The infection rate of early cranioplasty was lower than that of late cranioplasty (7% vs. 20%; p=0.02). Early cranioplasty, non-metal allograft materials, re-operation before cranioplasty and younger age were the significant factors in the infection rate after cranioplasty (p<0.05). Especially allograft was a significant risk factor of infection (odds ratio, 12.4; 95% confidence interval, 3.24-47.33; p<0.01). Younger age was also a significant risk factor of infection after cranioplasty by multivariable analysis (odds ratio, 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.96-0.99; p=0.02). Conclusion : Early cranioplasty did not increase the infection rate in this study. The use of non-metal allograft materials influenced a more important role in infection in cranioplasty. Actually, timing itself was not a significant risk factor in multivariate analysis. So the early cranioplasty may bring better outcomes in cognitive functions or wound without raising the infection rate.
