The aim of study was to investigate the virulence profile of Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteriophages isolated from sewage and livestock stools. Among 23 E. coli O157:H7 bacteriophages, 14 strains were isolated from sewage and 9 were from animal stools collected from 10 livestock farms in Korea. For each bacteriophage DNA sample, the presence of stx1, stx2, eae, aafII, ial, elt, estI, estII, astA, afa, and cnf was examined by polymerase chain reaction. The detection rate of eae, stx2, estI, astA, and ial was 100%, 69.6%, 13.0%, 13.0%, 8.7%, respectively. While all E. coli O157:H7 bacteriophages isolated from stools carried eae+stx2, stx2+eae, eae+astA, eae, stx2+eae+estI, eae+estI, stx2+eae+ial, and eae+ial were observed in bacteriophages isolated from sewage. As several plasmid-carrying virulence factors (estI, astA, and ial) were found in E. coli O157:H7 bacteriophages obtained from sewage and stools, the microbial safety of bacteriophages should be investigated in further study.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains of serotype O157:H7 have been shown to colonize the intestinal epithelial cell by the attaching and effacing (AE) mechanism. The AE lesion is mediated by an intimin, of which production and expression are controlled by a 3-Kb eaeA gene located EHEC chromosomal DNA. If the eaeA gene is mutated, EHEC O157:H7 strains lose capacity of adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells. In this study, a 891 bp of the 3'-end region of a gamma intimin was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product was inserted into pSTBlue-1 cloning vector and transformed into DE3 (BL21) competent cell. After plasmid mini-preparation and restriction enzyme digestion of eaeA/891-pSTBlue-1 vector, target eaeA gene was re-inserted into pET-28a expression vector and was transformed. Then the expression of recombinant eaeA/891 (891 bp) gene was induced by isopropyl-$\beta$-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The expression of the 40-KDa recombinant protein was identified in SDS-PAGE and confirmed by immunoblotting using the His.Tag$^{\circledR}$ and T$_{7}$.Tag$^{\circledR}$ monoclonal antibody. This recombinant protein expressed by eaeA gene could be applied in further studies on the mechanisms of E. coli O157:H7 infection and the development of recombinant vaccine.

To elucidate the roles of phospho-IkB expression in the development and progression of EAE, we investigated the expression of phospho-IkB in the central nervous system (CNS) of rats during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. In Western blot analysis, the increased expression of phospho-IkB went parallel to severity of EAE. The expression of phospho-IkB increased significantly at the peak stage of EAE followed by gradual decrease. Immunohistochemical studies showed that the phospho-IkB immunoreactivity was mainly expressed in inflammatory cells (macrophages, T cells) and glial cells (astrocytes, microglial cells) at the peak stage of EAE and disappeared at the recovery stage. These findings suggest that the phosphorylation of IkB is closely associated with autoimmune inflammation in the CNS and plays an important role in the initiation and progression of EAE.

알부틴, 유용성감초추출물(GLY), 아스코빌글루코사이드(AA2G), 에칠아스코빌에텔(EAE)은 현재 미백 기능성성분으로 가장 많이 사용되어지는 성분들이다. 위의 미백 성분 중 어느 성분을 같이 혼합하여 사용하였을 때 미백효과가 더 효과적인가를 알아보기 위하여 tyrosinase 활성 억제와 B-16 melanoma cells에서 MSH에 의한 멜라닌 생성 억제 정도를 측정하였다. 알부틴과 유용성감초추출물은 농도 의존적으로 정제된 tyrosinase 활성을 저해하였다. 유용성감초추출물(GLY)과 아스코빌글루코사이드(AA2G)를 같이 사용하였을 때나 유용성감초추출물(GLY)과 에칠아스코빌에텔(EAE)을 같이 사용하였을 때는 유용성감초추출물(GLY)을 단독으로 사용하였을 때보다 tyrosinase 활성 저해효과가 상승하였으나 알부틴과 다른 성분들을 같이 사용하였을 때는 그러한 현상을 보여주지 못했다. B-16 melanoma cell을 이용한 MSH로 유도된 melanin 생성실험에서는 유용성감초추출물 (GLY)과 에칠아스코빌에텔(EAE)을 같이 사용하였을 때 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과가 유용성감초추출물(GLY)을 단독으로 사용하였을 때보다 현저히 증가하였다. 유용성감초추출물(GLY), 알부틴, 아스코빌글루코사이드(AA2G), 에칠아스코빌에텔(EAE)의 복합물을 일반적인 크림제형에 혼합하여 $25^{\circ}C,\;45^{\circ}C$에서 30일간 안정성(stability)을 관찰하였으며 특이한 함량변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 유용성감초추출물(GLY)과 아스코빌글루코사이드(AA2G), 에칠아스코빌에텔(EAE)은 같이 사용함으로서 미백효과를 더 상승시킬 수 있다고 사료된다.

Protein kinase C an enzyme of signal transduction has been known to regulate cell proliferation activation as well as apoptosis in some cancer cell lines. To explore the role of PKC in the course of cell mediated autoimmune disease such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) EAE was induced in Lewis rats(6-8 weeks old) with immunization of myelin basic protein supplemented with complete Freund's adjuvants and affected spinal cords were sampled at days 13 postimmunization(PI) as peak stage of EAE and at days 21 PI as recovery stage. The spinal cords with EAE were subjected to Northern blot analysis and insitu hybridization of PKC delta which is one of prominant isotypes of PKC in the haematopoietic cells. Northern blot analysis showed that levels of PKS delta mRNA in the spinal cords of rats withEAE was significantly increased at days 13 PI in which inflammatory cells including T cells and macrophages in the EAE lesions appeared. however the stage. By in situ hybridization signals of PKC delta in EAE lesions was intensely expressed on the delta is also expressed on some brain cells in normal rat central nervous system This finding suggests that PKC plays an important role on either activation of inflammatory cells including encephalitogenic T cells and macrophages or apoptotic elimination of some inflammatory cells depending on the stge of EAE.

Importance: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis characterized by inflammation within the central nervous system. However, inflammation in non-neuronal tissues, including the lungs, has not been fully evaluated. Objective: This study evaluated the inflammatory response in lungs of EAE mice by immunohistochemistry and histochemistry. Methods: Eight adult C57BL/6 mice were injected with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein_35-55 to induce the EAE. Lungs and spinal cords were sampled from the experimental mice at the time of sacrifice and used for the western blotting, histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. Results: Histopathological examination revealed inflammatory lesions in the lungs of EAE mice, characterized by infiltration of myeloperoxidase (MPO)- and galectin-3-positive cells, as determined by immunohistochemistry. Increased numbers of collagen fibers in the lungs of EAE mice were confirmed by histopathological analysis. Western blotting revealed significantly elevated level of osteopontin (OPN), cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44), MPO and galectin-3 in the lungs of EAE mice compared with normal controls (p < 0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed both OPN and CD44 in ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1-positive macrophages within the lungs of EAE mice. Conclusions and Relevance: Taken together, these findings suggest that the increased OPN level in lungs of EAE mice led to inflammation; concurrent increases in proinflammatory factors (OPN and galectin-3) caused pulmonary impairment.

Pathogenesis of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis was involved with infection, inflammatory reaction, immune reaction etc. We studied on relation of blood vessel system and EAE. So, we measured blood pressure, heart rate and relaxation of isolated blood vessel in control and EAE-induced lewis rats. Blood pressure was decreased before EAE clinical sign (0-20day), but was increased from 23day. In isolated blood vessel, acetylcholine-treated relaxation was different on control, maximum EAE stage, recovery stage. Acetylcholine-treated relaxation was reduced 30% in recovery stage. but, sodium nitroprusside had similar relaxation reaction.

Endothelin-1, which is a peptide originally isolated from cultured porcine aortic cell, has been found to play a crucial role in potentiating the vasoconstriction mitogenesis, and chemotaxis. In the present study, we examined the level of endothelin-1 in the brain, spinal cord and blood from rat with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis(EAE). At the peak stage of EAE(grade 3), endothelin-1 level in the spinal cord of rat with EAE increased two folds as compared with that of sham-treated rats, and subsequently decreased to the level of control at the recovery stage. In the endothelin-1 immunocytochemistry, endothelin-1 immunopositive cells and ED-1, macrophage marker immunopositive cells observed in the spinal cord of peak stage(grade 3). These Findings suggest that endothelin-1 play the important role in progression of EAE.

BQ-123, a selective $ET_{A}$ receptor antagonist, reverses various responses induced by Endothelin-1 and it has been reported that BQ-123 ameliorates the cerebrovascular constriction, hypertension, and decrease of blood flow. Previously, we announced that the level of Endothelin-2 increase in the brain and spinal cord of EAE-induced lewis rat and showed the origin of ET-1 is activated macrophages. Intracisternal injection of $ET_{A}$ receptor antagonist, BQ-123(10nmol) was done for visualizing the role of endothelin-1 on the pathogenesis of EAE. BQ-123 apparently blocked the severity of clinical score of EAE and decreased the histologically observed inflammatory region. The blocking effect on the progression of EAE model following BQ-123, suggests that BQ-123 is a physiological antagonist in terms of development of the sign of multiple sclerosis.
