The baculovirus/Sf9 cell expression can be employed as a powerful system for producing large amounts of the human erythrocyte glucose transporter, GLUT1 heterologously In order to exploit the system further, it is necessary to develop a convenient method for demonstrating that the transporter expressed in insect cells is biologically active. To achieve this, we have expressed the human CLUT1 in insect cells and photolabelled the expressed protein with [$^3$H] cytochalasin B, a potent inhibitor of the human erythrocyte glucose transporter. Subsequently, the labelled proteins were analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Membranes labelled with [$^3$H] cytochalasln B in the presence of L-Glucose yielded a single sharp peak of labelling of apparent $M_r$ 45,000 on SDS/polyacrylamide gels. The mobility of this peak corresponded exactly to that of the band detected by anti-glucose transporter antibodies on Western blots of membranes prepared from insect cells infected with recombinant virus. In addition, the sharpness of the radioactive peak provides further evidence for the conclusion that the expressed protein is much less heavily and heterogeneously glycosylated than its erythrocyte counterpart. No peak of labelling was seen with the membranes prepared from non-infected Sf9 cells. Furthermore, the incorporation of label into this peak was completely inhibited by the presence of 500 mM-D-Glucose during tile photolabelling procedure, showing the stereoselectivity of the labelling. These evidences clearly show that human glucose transporter expressed in insect cells exhibits native-like biological activity, and that photolabelling with [$^3$H] cytochalasin B can be a convenient means for analysing the biological activity of the transport protein expressed in insect cells.

본 연구의 목적은 돼지난자의 체외성숙, 수정 및 단위발생시 일어나는 표층과립의 분포를 살펴보고, 그것들의 역할을 규명해 보고자 실시하였다. 난자의 표층과립은 형광염색을 실시한 후 laser scanning confocal microscope를 이용하여 관찰하거나 transmission electron microscope를 사용하여 관찰하였다. Germinal vesicle 단계의 돼지난자에서는 표층과립은 난자피질에 비교적 두꺼운 형태로 발견되었는데, germinal vesicle breakdown이 일어난 직후 피질 부근으로 표층과립의 움직임이 관찰되었다. Microfilaments의 중합화를 방해하는 cytochalasin B를 처리하였을 때 표층과립의 움직임은 관찰되지 않았다. 무 처리군의 수정 및 단위발생을 유도한 난자에서는 표층과립 내용물들이 위란강내에 균질하게 관찰되었으나, cytochalasin B를 처리한 난자에서는 비정상적인 cortical granule의 움직임을 관장하고 이러한 움직임이 수정시 다정자 침입을 막고 표층과립 반응에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

면역세포는 외부 병원체 감염, 자연적 순환에 대하여 형태변화를 수반한다. T세포는 염증, 면역 감시, 이동, 그리고 혈관통과를 위해 uropod, filopodia, lamellipodia, 및 microvilli를 생산한다. 짧고 손가락 처럼 생긴 microvilli는 순환하고 있는 포유동물 면역세포 표면을 덮고 있다. 단핵세포와 호중구의 세포표면은 많이 다른데 membrane ruffle을 함유하고 있다. 본 연구는, T세포의 microvilli에 대하여 actin cytoskeleton과의 연관성에 대하여 탐구하였다. Actin 파괴자인 cytochalasin D 처리 후 SEM관찰을 통해서, Jurkat T세포의 microvilli를 보면 빠르게 사라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와는 대조적으로 RhoA의 activator인 PMA는 LIMK와 cofilin 신호 전달을 통해서 microvilli 두께가 확장되는 것을 관찰 하였다. 또한, cytochalasin D 처리는 EL4 T세포의 극성을 사라지게 하는 것으로 보아 F-actin은 T세포의 극성 유지에도 영향을 미친다. 이상의 결과는 Actin cytoskeleton은 T세포에서 microvilli와 극성 유지에 관여하고 있는 것을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to examined the electrofusion and activation conditions for the production of porcine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos. In this study, immature oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 with and without hormones for 22 hours. Skin fibroblasts cells of porcine were transferred into the perivitelline space of enucleated in vitro matured oocytes. Cell fusion was performed with two different pulses that each one pulse (DC) of 1.1 kV/cm or 1.5 kV/cm for $30{\mu}sec$. After fusion subsequent activation were divided into three groups; non-treatment (control) and treatment with 2 mM 6-DMAP or $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B for 4 hours. Transferred embryos were cultured in PZM-3 (Porcine Zygote Medium-3) in $5%\;CO_2$ and 95% air at $39^{\circ}C$ for 7 day. Apoptosis-related genes (Caspase-3, BCL-2, mTOR, and MMP-2) were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. There was no significant difference between two different electrofusion stimuli in the cleavage rate; $64.9{\pm}4.8%$ in 1.1 kV/cm and $62.7{\pm}4.0%$ in 1.5 kV/cm. However, blastocyst formation rate (%) was significantly different among three different activation groups (no treatment, 2 mM 6-DMAP or $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B) combined with electrofusion of 1.1 kV/cm. The blastocyst formation rate was $12.6{\pm}2.5$, $20.0{\pm}5.0$, and $34.9{\pm}4.3%$ in control, 2 mM 6-DMAP, and $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B, respectively. Immunofluorescence data showed that expression levels of caspase-3 in SCNT embryos undeveloped to blastocyst stage were higher than those in the blastocyst stage embryos. Expression levels of Bcl-2 in blastocyst stage embryos were higher than those in the arrested SCNT embryos. These results showed that the combination of an electric pulse (1.1 kV/cm for $30{\mu}sec$) and $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B treatment was effective for production of the porcine SCNT embryos.

본 연구는 돼지 배아의 유리화 동결 시 CB 처리군과 CB 비처리군의 영향을 비교하였다. CB의 농도별, 처리 시간별로 처리한 뒤 유리화 동결 융해 후 정상적인 형태 회수율과 생존률을 각각 조사하였다. 1. CB를 전 처리한 군과 비처리군의 정상적인 형태율이 각각 84.2%, 81.9%로 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 융해 후 72시간 째 생존률의 결과에서는 각각 60.5%, 32.8%로 유의성(p<0.1)이 검증되었다. 2. CB 농도별 생존률에 미치는 영향은 7.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 처리군이 다른 처리군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 정상 형태율 95%와 융해 후 생존률 73%로서 다른 농도에 비하여 65∼76%, 15∼57%보다 각각 높았다. 3. 7.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 농도의 CB 전처리의 처리 시간에 따른 영향은 20분 처리하였을 때 정상적인 형태율은 81%로 다른 처리군(25∼69%)보다 높았고, 24시간 째 생존률의 결과로도 64%, 6∼56%로 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 또한 원심 처리군과 비처리군에서도 CB를 20분으로 처리하였을 때 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었으며, 원심 비처리군보다는 원심 처리군이 좀 더 높은 결과를 보여 주었다.

What makes glucose transport function sensitive to insulin in one cell type such as adipocyte, and insensitive in another such as liver cells is unresolved question at this time. Recently it is known that insulin stimulates glucose transport in adipocytes largely by redistributing transporter from the storage pool that is included in a low density microsomal fraction to plasma membrane. Therefore, insulin sensitivity may depend upon the relative distribution of gluscose transporters between the plasma membrane and in an intracellular storage compartment. In hepatocytes, the subcellular distribution of glucose transporter is less well documented. It is thus possible that the apparent insensitivity of the hepatocyte system could be either due to lack of the constitutively maintained, intracellular storage pool of glucose transporter or lack of insulin-mediated transporter translocation mechanism in this cell. In this study, I examined if any intracellular glucose transporter pool exists in hepatocytes and this pool is affected by insulin. The results obtained summarized as followings: 1) Distribution of subcellular fractions of hepatocyte showed that there are $24.9{\pm}1.3%$ of plasma membrane, $36.9{\pm}1.7%$ of nucleus-mitochondria enriched fraction, $23.5{\pm}1.2%$ of lysosomal fraction, $9.6{\pm}1.0%$ of high density microsomal fraction and $4.9{\pm}0.5%$ of low density microsomal fraction. 2) In adipocyte, there were $29.9{\pm}2.6%$ of plasma membrane, $19.4{\pm}1.9%$ of nucleus-mitochondria enriched fraction, $26.7{\pm}1.8%$ of high density microsomal fraction and $23.9{\pm}2.1%$ of low density microsomal fraction. 3) Surface labelling of sodium borohydride revealed that plasma membrane contaminated to lysosomal fraction by $26.8{\pm}2.8%$, high density microsomal fraction by $8.3{\pm}1.3%$ and low density microsomal fraction by $1.7{\pm}0.4%$ respectively. 4) Cytochalasin B bound to all of subcellular fractions with a Kd of $1.0{\times}10^{-6}M$. 5) Photolabelling of cytochalasin B to subcellular fractions occurred on 45 K dalton protein band, a putative glucose transporter and D-glucose inhibited the photolabelling. 6) Insulin didn't affect on the distribution of subcellular fractions and translocation of intracellular glucose transporters of hepatocytes. 7) HEGT reconstituted into hepatocytes was largely associated with plasma membrane and very little was found in low density microsomal fraction which equals to the native glucose transporter distribution. Insulin didn't affect on the distribution of exogeneous glucose transporter in hepatocytes. From the above results it is concluded that insulin insensitivity of hepatocyte may due to lack of intracellular storage pool of glucose transporter and thus intracellular storage pool of glucose transporter is an essential feature of the insulin action.
