Detection of DMNB by chemo sensors has been proved difficult because of their high lying LUMO level. Recently reported 4 different types of sensory materials for detection of DMNB were discussed. The focus of this review mainly lied on the sensitivity and feasibility for field use. Different strategies and approaches from different platforms for sensing DMNB is studied.

Mouse mammary epithelial cells(NMuMG) were plated onto 24 well phates(100,000 cells/well), in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. After serum starvation for 24 hours, EGF)0~100ng/ml) was added simultaneously with IGF-I(10ng/ml), 1$\mu$M photoreactive cAMP(4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl adenosine-3',5' cyclic monophosphate, DMNB) or IGF-I plus DMNB. After 2 hours, the cells were expposed to UV light(300nm, 3 second pulse0 in order to activate DMNB which induces a rapid transient increase in intracellular cAMP upon UV irradiation. DNA synthesis was estimated as incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA(1 hour pulse with 1$\mu$Ci/ml, 18~19 hours after UV exposure). Without IGF-I or DMNB, EGF(10 or 100ng/ml) increased DNA synthesis from 8,362 dpm/well in control to 16,345 or 18,684 dpm/well with EGF(pooled SE=1,239 dpm/well, P<0.05). IGF-I or IGF-I plus DMNB alone increased DNA synthesis from 8,362 dpm/well in control to 17,307 or 20,427 dpm/well, respectively(P<0.05). Addition of IGF-I, DMNB or IGF-I plus DMNB into 0~100ng/ml EGF did not significantly change the shape of dose response curve of EGF alone. In other experiment, EGF or IGF-I plus DMNB into 10ng/ml EGF group exhibited interaction effect in DNAsynthesis [EGF(10ng/ml)=18,497; IGF-I＋EGF=22,837; DMNB＋EGF=20,658 ; IGF-I＋DMNB＋EGF=29,658, pooled SE=1,055, P<0.05]. These results indicate that simultaneous activation of EGF, IGF-I and intracellular cAMP interact in DNA synthesis of mouse mammary epithelial cells.

Mouse mammary epithelial cells(NMuMG) were maintained onto 6-well plates (3$\times$105 cells/well) or chambered slide (1$\times$104 cells/well), in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. After serum starvation for 24 hours, DMNB (1$\mu$M) was added and exposed to UV light (300nm, 3 second pulse) after 2 hours from DMNB addition in order to activate DMNB which induces a rapid transient increase in intracellular cAMP upon UV irradiation. EGF (100ng/ml) and/or IGF-I (10ng/ml) were treated at the time of UV irradiation. Nuclear labeling index was estimated as percent of nuclear labeled cells(percent of S phase of cells) by incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA(1 hour pulse with 1$\mu$Ci/ml). DMNB(1$\mu$M), EGF (100ng/ml) and/or IGF-I (10ng/ml) signifciantly increased nuclear labeling index than those of control (P<0.05). Addition of DMNB＋EGF or DMNB＋EGF＋IGF-I showed the interaction effect in nuclear labeling index (P<0.05). Protein kinase A activities by addition of EGF, IGF-I or EGF＋IGF-I were 10.5, 9.8 or 9.4 unit/mg protein, respectively, and no statistical difference was found in comparison with control (P>0.05). Additon of DMNB＋EGF showed the moderate interaction effect on tyrosyl kinase activity (P<0.1). In the fluorography analysis, there were no specific protein phosphorylation patterns were found at 1 or 15 minute by addition of DMNB. EGF and/or IGF-I. These results suggest that the interaction effect in nuclear labeling index by addition DMNB and EGF could be mediated through the modulation of tyrosyl kinase activity by cAMP.

To synthesize a new positive photosensitive polyimide precursor, parts of carboxylic acid groups in poly (amic acid) were esterified with 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl bromide in the presence of K$_2$CO$_3$/HMPA followed by the chemical imidization of residual carboxylic acid units. The chemical structure of resulting polymer was characterized by $^1$H-NMR, UV/vis and FT-IR spectroscopic methods, and its thermal properties were examined by DSC and TGA. Upon UV irradiation, 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl moiety underwent the photodegradation. As a result, the polymer became soluble in alkaline developer due to the formation of carboxylic acid moiety, which was used to make a micron-sized positive pattern. Sensitivity curves were obtained from the gel fraction experiments with respect to the various 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl ester contents. From those curves, the sensitivity was ranged iron 4000 to 6000 mJ/㎠, and the contrast was measured to be from 3.1 to 4.9.
