Targeting the cystine/glutamate exchange transporter, system x_c^-, is a promising anticancer strategy that induces ferroptosis, which is a distinct form of cell death mediated by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. The concentration of ⳑ-cystine in culture medium is higher than the physiological level. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of ⳑ-cystine concentration on the efficacy of ferroptosis inducers in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. This study showed that treatment with sulfasalazine or erastin, a system x_c^- inhibitor, decreased the viability of Huh6 and Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the degree of growth inhibition was greater in medium containing a physiological ⳑ-cystine concentration of 83 µM than in commercial medium with a concentration of 200 µM ⳑ-cystine. However, RSL3, a glutathione peroxidase 4 inhibitor, decreased cell viability to a similar extent in media containing both ⳑ-cystine concentrations. Sulfasalazine and erastin significantly increased the percentages of propidium iodide-positive cells in media with 83 µM ⳑ-cystine, but not in media with 200 µM ⳑ-cystine. Sulfasalazine- or erastin-induced accumulation of lipid peroxidation as monitored by C11-BODIPY probe was higher in media with 83 µM ⳑ-cystine than in media with 200 µM ⳑ-cystine. In contrast, the changes in the percentages of propidium iodide-positive cells and lipid peroxidation by RSL3 were similar in both media. These results showed that sulfasalazine and erastin, but not RSL3, were efficacious under conditions of physiological ⳑ-cystine concentration, suggesting that medium conditions would be crucial for the design of a bioassay for system x_c^- inhibitors.

본 연구는 견사중의 Cystine 성분을 가잠전과정을 통하여 기존재를 확인하고 견사구조중에서 cross linkage를 조성하고 있음을 확인하는데 있으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Cystine 결정체를 Folin 씨 방법으로 견사로부터 분리하였다. 2. 견사 및 그와 관련있는 과정에서 Sullivan 씨 방법으로 다음과 같이 분석하였다. 시료 Cystine 함유량 ％ A. 상엽단백질 0.175 B.잠란 0.33 C. 잠체 (탈지, 숙잠, 견사선제외) 0.41 D. 견사선 (숙잠) 1.23 E. 잠 0.0 F. 잠통 (탈지) 0.30 G. 잠아 (탈지) 0.60 H. 생계 0.22 I. Fibroin 0.175 J. Sericin 0.30 3. 잠체내의 Cystine 존재는 상엽에서 0.175%, 견사선에서 0.12%의 Methionine을 확인함으로 생화학적의의와 더불어 재확인하였다. 4. 견사선내의 Sulfhydryl 화합물은 Sericin과 Methionine으로 전환하는 동시에 전자는 액상견으로 분비되어 견사를 구성하고 후자는 영양목적으로 견사선세포 육성에 사용되는 것으로 믿어진다. 5. Cystine 성분량은 상품종, 잠품종, 자웅성, 육종과정과 사육환경에 따라 변화한다. 6. 잡종강세로 육성된 교잡종은 원잠종보다 효과적인 성장을 위하여 더욱 많은 영양성 아미노산을 필요로 한다. 7. 여기한 관찰을 통하여 견사중 아미노산조성은 어느정도 변화하는 것이며 Cystine은 섬유의 무정형부분 특히 Sericin에 함유되고 있다. 8. 순수한 Cystine 또는 양모 Cystine을 첨식한 결과 하등의 이익점을 초래하지 못하였음으로 상엽중에 함유되어있는 Cystine과 Methionine 함유량은 잠아의 영양생리에 충분한 것으로 보인다. 9. 견사중의 disulfide cross linkage는 Harris 씨 방법과 여러가지 염류와 산에 의한 수축현상으로 확인하였고 양모와 대조하여 시험하였다. 10. 본 연구중 견사의 사상구조와 액상견의 입망상구조를 현미경으로 포착하였다. 액상견의 입망상은 입상 peptide의 OH ion과 물의 H ion의 인력관계로 형성되고 있다는 것을 기 film의 배열상태로 고찰하게 되었고 상엽단백질의 입망상은 견사의 사상형성에 적당한 사료임을 보이고 있다. 11. 본 논문을 통한 Cystine 존재는 비록 그 량이 적지마는 견사중의 Cystine 전무에 대한 종래관념을 전환시킬 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the permenent pleats finish on the cystine contents and the physical properties of wool fabrics. Monoethanolamine Sulfite (MEAS) was used as a reducing agent. Cystine contents of the fabrics were determined after the fabric was treated with various MEAS concentrations and steamset time. The cystine contents were increase as the MEAS concentrations were increased. The cystine contents were also increased with steamset time. As the settability showed close relationship with the cystine contents, breakdown and rebuilding of the cystine linkage was thought to play an important role for the settability. Physical properties such as shrink resistance, crease recovery angle and tensile strength were increased as the MEAS concentration was increased. As the stramset time was increased, shrink resistance and crease recovery angle were in creased.

Purified diets containing 5 graded levels of methionine + cystine were fed to young, growing and finishing pigs to determine the methionine + cystine requirement for growth and maintenance. A model was developed to subdivide the methionine + cystine requirement for maintenance from requirement for growth. From this model, the methionine + cystine requirement for growth was 8.633, 10.260 and 9.293 g/kg live weight gain and the maintenance requirement was 0.049, 0.016 and 0.019 g per unit of metabolic body size at each stage of growth, respectively. In the young pigs, the methionine + cystine requirement for growth was 0.491 g/g N gain and the maintenance requirement was 0.059 g per unit of metabolic body size. The breakpoint of plasma methionine + cystine concentrations was 3.888, 6.935 and 8.116 g/d, respectively. Expected requirements obtained from these formulae were in general agreement with previous estimates. Based on the weight gain vs N gain equation, about 4.44% of the retained protein was comprised of methionine + cystine and compared to 3.31%, the mean methionine + cystine content of pig muscle CP.

The objective of this study was to determine the optimum ratio of methionine to methionine plus cystine for growing pigs. A nitrogen balance trial was conducted using a total of 21 barrows (Large WhiteLandrace) over two replicates. The initial body weight was $20.36{\pm}1.22kg$ (mean${\pm}$SD) in the first replicate and $23.54{\pm}1.02kg$ (mean${\pm}$SD) in the second. For each replicate, the 21 pigs were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments with three observations per treatment. The diets included a methionine and cystine-deficient basal diet with all other essential nutrients meeting nutrient requirements and six diets formulated with graded levels of DL-methionine (0.00, 0.03, 0.06, 0.10, 0.13, 0.16%) and $L-Cystine{\cdot}HCl{\cdot}H_2O$ (0.19, 0.15, 0.11, 0.07, 0.04, 0.00%). This resulted in ratios of methionine to methionine plus cystine of 41.3, 29.6, 35.3, 41.2, 46.0, 51.6 and 57.5%. Each experimental period lasted 12 days consisting of a seven-day adaptation period followed by a five-day total collection of urine and feces. During the collection period, pigs were fed 900 g/day for the first replicate and 1,200 g/day for the second replicate. The feed was provided in three equal portions at 0800, 1500, and 2200 h daily. Pigs had ad libitum access to water after feeding. There was a linear (p<0.01) and quadratic (p<0.01) effect on daily gain and feed conversion as the ratio of methionine to methionine plus cystine increased. Pigs receiving the diets providing a methionine to methionine plus cystine ratio of 51.6% had the best daily gain and feed conversion. Plasma urea nitrogen was also lowest for this treatment. Nitrogen retention increased (p<0.01) as the relative proportion of methionine increased up to 51.6% and then a downward trend occurred at 57.5%. The quadratic regression model, as well as one- and two- slope regression line models, were used to determine the optimum ratio of methionine to methionine plus cystine. Eliminating the 35.3% methionine to methionine plus cystine treatment resulted in $R^2$ values in excess of 0.92. The optimal ratio of methionine to methionine plus cystine was estimated to be 54.15% for nitrogen retention and 56.72% for plasma urea nitrogen.

본 연구에서는 열처리에 의한 $알파-락트알부민(\alpha-La)겔의$ 특성을 규명하기 위하여 겔형성에 관여하는 인자들 즉, 염의 종류와 농도, pH, $\alpha-La$ 농도, 티올시약(NEM, Dn)의 농도를 각각 변화시켜 $90^{\circ}C에서$ 40분간 가열하여 만든 알파-락트알부민 겔의 총유리 SH그룹, half-cystine 함량, S-S 결합 함량을 측정하였다. 총 유리 SH 그룹, half-cystine 함량, S-S 결합은 첨가된 염의 종류와 농도 변화에는 큰 의존성을 나타내지 않았다. pH 2.5~3.5에서는 SH 그룹의 반응성이 낮아 pH 6.5~8.5에서의 총 유리 SH 그룹 보다 함량이 더 높고 half-cystine 함량은 일정하였으나 형성된 S-S 결합은 더 낮아 pH가 증가할수록 SH산화속도와 겔망상 구조의 형성 이 가속화됨을 확인할 수 있었다. $\alpha-La의$ 농도 증가로 half-cystine 함량은 큰 변화가 없었으나 총 유리 SH 그룹은 약간 감소하고 S-S 결합은 약간 증가하여 $\alpha-La의$ 농도 증가에 따라 겔지지체에서 S-S 결합의 관여가 큼을 나타내었다. NEM첨가의 경우는 총 유리 SH그룹과 half-cystine 함량이 급격히 감소하였으나 S-S 결합은 증가하여 NEM 첨가로 SH그룹이 반응성을 잃어 결국 $\alpha-La의$ 겔형성에 지장을 줌을 확인하였다. DTT 첨가로는 새로운 분자간 티올-이황화물 상호교환반응이 용이하게 되어 총 유리 SH 그룹은 낮고 S-S 결합은 높은 함량을 나타내었다.
