  • The PCR was employed to detect and characterize the bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV), which is a newly recognized member of the I entivirinae of the retroviruses. Degenerate primers representing the conserved regions in the pol genes of the Lentivirinae, were used to detect proviral DNA obtained from the bovine embryonic spleen cell cultures infected with BIV. The PCR amplified DNA fragment was molecularly cloned and sequenced. The BIV DNA fragment contained a sequence identical to that reported by Garvey et al. (Garvey et al., 1990. Virology, 175, 391-409). With the degenerate primers, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of sick cattle and cells cultured with BIV were tested to determine genetic variation of BIV pol conserved sequence. We found the sequence heterogeneity within cultures and most variations occurred at the third base of codons that would not lead to amino acid substitutions. Another change was GAG (Glu) to AAG (Lys) within the BIV isolates. Interestingly, the altered sequence is also found in other lentiviruses such as HIV-2, SIV mac, CAEV and EIAV.

  • Reactions of alkaline metal carbonates with sulfur are investigated in detail. The evolution of CO and a trace of $SO_2$ were observed in the course of reaction with major component of polysulfides. Some evidences that the reaction proceeds with breaking of terminal sulfur-sulfur bond in the sulfur polymer, and forming CO, $SO_2$ and polysulfide are presented. Polysulfides have the role of keeping free sulfur and allow it to react with other chemicals to rather high temperatures.plexes, whereas the binuclear and mononuclear complexes of Mn$^{2+}$ and Co$^{2+}$

  • Two rhodium(I) complexes of the types [Rh(BPPF)(NBD)]$ClO_4$ (10) and [Rh(BPPF)$Cl]_2$ (11) (BPPF = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene) have been prepared and investigated as catalysts for the regioselective hydrogenation of polynuclear heteroaromatic nitrogen and sulfur compounds such as quinoline (1), acridine (2), phenanthridine (3), 7,8-benzoquinoline (4), benzothiophene (5), isoquinoline (6), indole (7), pyridine (8), and thiophene (9). Both complexes 10 and 11, except for the cases of indole (7) and mononuclear heteroaromatics 8-9, are very efficient in the selective reduction under quite mild hydrogenation conditions to give the corresponding saturated nitrogen and sulfur heterocyclic analogues of 1-6 in fast conversion rates and in excellent yields. Relative rate studies revealed that the reduction depends significantly on the steric and electronic effects of the substrates. Of the two complexes 10-11, the dimeric species 11 gives faster reaction rates in all cases studied.

  • The synthesis and characterization of the platinum heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes [NC5H4CRNNC(S)NHR'PtCl] (R=H, R'=CH3(1); R=CH3, R'=CH3(2); R=CH3, R=H(3)) and diphenylphosphinophenyl carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes [Ph2PC6H4CHNNC(S)NHRPtCl] (R=CH3(5); R=iC3H7(6); R=Ph(7)) are described. Compounds 1-3 were prepared by reaction of Pt(SEt2)2Cl2 with 2-acetylpyridine-4-alkylthiosemicarbazone in the presence of NEt3. Compounds 5-7 were prepared using Pt(SEt2)2Cl2 in toluene with diphenylphosphinophenyl carboxaldehyde alkylthiosemicarbazone. The compounds have been characterized by microanalysis, NMR (1H, 13C, 31P) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis reveals that compound 5 is a mononuclear platinum compound with P,N,S-coordination mode.

  • New copper(Ⅱ) complex of the pentaaza non-macrocyclic ligand 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-(N-{2-aminoethyl}aminomethyl)-1,3-diazacyclohexane (2) and a dinuclear copper(Ⅱ) compex of the bis(macrocyclic) ligand 3, in which two 1,5,8,10,12,15-hexaazabicyclo[11.3.11.5]heptadecane subunits are linked together by an ethylene chain through the uncoordinated nitrogen (N10) atoms, have been prepared selectively by the reaction of the metal ion, 1,4,8-triazaoctane, ethylenediamine, and formaldehyde. The dinuclear complex [Cu2(3)]4+ has been also prepared by the reaction of [Cu(2)]2+ with ethylenediamine and formaldehyde. The reaction products largely depend on the molar ratio of the reactants employed. The mononuclear complex or each macrocyclic subunit of the dinuclear complex contains one 1,3-diazacyclohexane ring and has a square-planar geometry with a 5-6-5 or 5-6-5-6 chelate ring sequence. In acidic solution, the copper(Ⅱ) complex of 2 dissociates more slowly than those of other related non-cyclic polyamines.

  • CR asthma is associated with disease chronicity, a positive family history of asthma and in vitro and in vivo defects in mononuclear cell function. The HPA axis in CR asthmatics is suppressed normally by dexamethasone and the pharmacokinetic profile of an oral dose of prednisolone is similar to that found in CS subjects. In addition, competitive binding studies have shown that the ligand binding and nuclear translocation functions of the GR are similar in the two groups. Studies using gel retardation assay have indicated a defect in DNA binding in CR subjects. Chemical mutational analysis of the GR has shown that is not due to a defect in its structure at the cDNA level. Scatchard analysis of the GR/DNA and GR/ligand interactions suggests that there may be transcriptional interference of the GR with other transcriptionally active molecules leading to defective gene transcription.

  • 본 연구에서 돼지 PBMC에 t10c12-CLA 처리는 TNF-${\alpha}$생산을 증가시켰으나, LPS 자극 PBMC에서는 TNF-${\alpha}$생산을 감소시켰다. t10c12-CLA 처리는 PBMC의 inhibitory ${\kappa}B$ ($I{\kappa}B$)-${\alpha}$ 단백질 분해를 증가시키고 NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 활성 수준을 증가시켰다. 그러나 LPS 자극 PBMC에서는 상반되는 효과가 관찰되었다. 특히, LPS 비자극 PBMC에서 t10c12-CLA는 NF-${\kappa}B$ 저해제인 caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE)를 처리한 경우 NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 활성 수준을 증가시켰으나 반대로 LPS로 자극한 CAPE 처리 PBMC에서는 NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 활성 수준을 억제시켰다. 이상의 결과는 t10c12-CLA가 돼지 PBMC에 있어 LPS 자극 유무에 따라 다른 효과를 가질 수 있으며, 이는 NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 활성도의 변화와 관련성이 있음을 보여주고 있다.

  • 돼지 말초혈액 다형핵 백혈구(polymorphonuclear cell; PMN)의 유주성에 있어서 conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) 이성체(CLA mixture, 10t-12c CLA, 9c-11t CLA, 9c-11c CLA 및 9t-11t CLA)의 면역증강 효과를 검토하였다. PMN에 대한 유주성은 Boyden chamber 변법으로 측정하였다. CLA 이성체들을 고농도(50∼200μM)로 사용하였을 경우 말초혈액 단핵구 세포(mononuclear cell; MNC) 및 PMN의 cell viability가 감소되거나 세포가 사멸하였다. 따라서 cell viability가 높고 세포독성을 나타내지 않는 20μM 농도로 유주활성 실험을 하였다. CLA 이성체들은 돼지 말초혈액 PMN의 유주활성에 직접적인 효과는 없었다. CLA 이성체로 배양한 MNC의 배양상층액 중 CLA mixture, 10t-12c CLA 및 9c-11t CLA 처리군에서는 PMN의 유주활성이 현저하게 증강되었으나 9c-11c CLA 및 9t-11t CLA로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액에서는 PMN의 유주활성이 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 유주성 증강효과는 checkerboard assay를 실시한 결과 진성의 유주활성이었다. 유주성 인자인 porcine recombinant (pr) interleukin(IL)-8을 이용하여 돼지 PMN에 대한 유주성을 검토한 결과, pr IL-8에 의한 PMN의 유주활성은 CLA로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액에 의한 것과 동등한 활성을 보였다. 또한 CLA로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액의 PMN에 대한 유주성을 anti-pr IL-8pAb를 사용하여 중화반응을 실시한 결과, CLA mixture로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액에 의해 증가된 PMN의 유주활성은 anti-pr IL-8 pAb 첨가에 의해 억제되어, 본 유주활성은 MNC에서 분비되는 IL-8으로 인한 것임을 강하게 시사하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 CLA 중 CLA mixture, 10t-12c CLA 및 9c-11t CLA 이성체가 돼지 말초혈액 다형핵 백혈구의 유주활성에 증강효과를 가지고 있으며, 이러한 증강효과는 CLA로 자극된 MNC에 의해 생성되는 IL-8 인자에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

  • Orthodontic tooth movement in response to orthodontic force results from actions of osteoclasts and osteeoblasts in the cell level. Convincing evidence has now been provided to support the view that osteoclasts are derived from mononuclear cells that originate in the bone marrow or other hematopoietic organs and they migrate to the bones via vascular routes. Nitric oxide(NO), which accounts for the biological properties of endothelium-derived relaxing factor(EDRF), is the endogenous stimulator of soluble guanylate cylase. The discovery of the formation of nitric oxide(NO) from L-arginine in mammalian tissues and its biological roles has, in the last 7 years, thrown new light onto many areas of research. Data from experiments in vitro showed that N-metyl-L-arginine(L-NMA) and L-nitro-L- arginine(L-NAME) are competitive inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase. This study suggest that the multinucleated cells in our culture have characteristics of osteoclasts and that the potential bone cell activity of nitric oxide in vitro may be mediated in part by stimulation of marrow mononuclear cells to form osteoclast-like cells. Bone marrow cells were obtaineed from tibia of 19-days old chick embryo. After sacrifice, tibia was quickly dissected and the bone were then split to expose the medullary bone. The cells were attached for 4 hours and the nonadherent cells were collected. Marrow cells weere cultured in 96-well plate in medium 199. To examine the number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells(MNCs), $10^{-8}\;M\;Vit=D_3$ and various concentration of L-NMA and L-NAME weere added at the beginning of cultures and with each medium change. After 7 days of culture. tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP) staining was performed for microscopic evaluation. Cells haying more than three nuclei per cell were counted as MNCs. The obsrved results were as follows;1. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamine $D_3$ stimulated the osteoclast-like multinucleated cells in cultures of chick embryo bone marrow. 2. Nitric oxide synthase inhibitors(NOSI ; N-NMA, N-NAME) stimulated the osteoclast-like cells in cultures of chick embry bone marrow. 3. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamine$D_3$ and nitric oxide synthase inhibitors did not appear to have additive effect on the generation of TRAP-positive MNCs. These results suggest that nitric oxide synthase inhibitors may stimulate the osteoclast-like multinucleated cell formation and fusion in cultures of chick bone marrow.
