  • Centrobin/Nip2 was initially identified as a centrosome protein that is critical for centrosome duplication and spindle assembly. In the present study, we determined the expression and subcellular localization of centrobin in selected mouse tissues. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the centrobin-specific band of 100 kDa was detected in all tissues tested but most abundantly in the thymus, spleen and testis. In the testis, centrobin was localized at the centrosomes of spermatocytes and early round spermatids, but no specific signal was detected in late round spermatids and elongated spermatids. Our results also revealed that the centrosome duplication occurs at interphase of the second meiotic division of the mouse male germ cells. The centrobin protein was more abundant in the mitotically active ovarian follicular cells and thymic cortex cells than in non-proliferating corpus luteal cells and thymic medullary cells. The expression pattern of centrobin suggests that the biological functions of centrobin are related to cell proliferation. Consistent with the proposal, we observed reduction of the centrobin levels when NIH3T3 became quiescent in the serum-starved culture conditions. However, a residual amount of centrobin was also detected at the centrosomes of the resting cells, suggesting its role for maintaining integrity of the centrosome, especially of the daughter centriole in the cells.

  • Panax ginseng ginsenosides were examined for their affects on the DNA synthesis. The DNA 1 synthesis was measured by the thymidine incorporation into NIH3T3 cells. The ginsenoside, panaxytriol, $Rh_1$ and $Rh_2$ showed reduced [$^{3}H$]-thymidine incorporation. However, other ginsenosides of $Rh_1$, $Rh_2$ and $Rh_3$ did not inhibit DNA synthesis. Among the various ginsenosides, ginsenoside $Rh_2$ was found to be the most inhibitory on DNA synthesis. We suggest $Rh_2$ as one of the potential choice of antiproliferative drugs.

  • Caveolin-1 of the caveolin family of proteins regulates mammary gland development and has been shown to play a contradictory role in breast tumor progression. A specific anti-Caveolin-1 antibody will be useful for functional study of Caveolin-1 in different tissues. In this study, we generated a rabbit polyclonal antibody that specifically recognizes the N-terminal amino acids 50-65 of Caveolin-1. This polyclonal antibody specifically reacted with Caveolin-1 extracted from cells of different species, including human epithelial A431 cells, goat primary mammary epithelial cells and mice fibroblast NIH 3T3 cells, by Western blotting. Endogenous Caveolin-1 protein expressing in cells and normal human tissues was detected by this polyclonal antibody using immunocytofluorescent and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. Furthermore, an apparent decrease in Caveolin-1 expression in tumorous breast and colon tissues was detected by this polyclonal antibody. In conclusion, we have identified amino acids 50-65 of Caveolin-1, which contains an epitope that is specific to Caveolin-1 and is conserved in the human, goat and mouse. In future, this anti-Caveolin-1 antibody can be used to examine the progression of breast and colon cancers and to study functions of Caveolin-1 in human, goat and mouse cells.

  • In this study, we introduced the RRLR oligopeptide sequences on the surface of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer and characterized the physical properties and gene carrier activity of the novel polymer using HEK 293, NIH3T3, and HeLa cells. The RRLR peptide sequences were derived from a mouse fibroblast growth factor 3 (FGF3) protein containing a bipartite NLS motif. The entire sequence of FGF3 is RLRRDAGGRGGVYEHLGGAPRRRK and it has two functional sequences RLRR and RRRK at N-terminus and C-terminus, respectively. In particular, PAMAM G4-RRLR conferred enhanced transfection efficiency and lower cytotoxicity compared with those of PEI 25 kDa, PAMAM G4-R, and PAMAM G4 in various cell lines. These results suggest that the introduction of N-terminal oligopeptides of FGF3 on the surface of PAMAM holds promise as an effective non-viral gene delivery carrier for gene therapy.

  • Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) can inhibit ice recrystallization (IR), a major cause of cell death during cryopreservation. IBPs are hypothesized to improve cell viability after cryopreservation by alleviating the cryoinjury caused by IR. In our previous studies, we showed that supplementation of the freezing medium with the recombinant IBP of the Arctic yeast Glaciozyma sp. (designated as LeIBP) could reduce post-thaw hemolysis of human red blood cells and increase the survival of cryopreserved diatoms. Here, we showed that LeIBP could improve the viability of cryopreserved mammalian cells. Human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), mouse fibroblasts (NIH/3T3), human preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1), Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1), and human keratinocytes (HaCaT) were evaluated. These mammalian cells were frozen in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/fetal bovine serum (FBS) solution with or without 0.1 mg/ml LeIBP at a cooling rate of -1℃/min in a -80℃ freezer overnight. The minimum effective concentration (0.1 mg/ml) of LeIBP was determined, based on the viability of HeLa cells after treatment with LeIBP during cryopreservation and the IR inhibition assay results. The post-thaw viability of mammalian cells was examined. In all cases, cell viability was significantly enhanced by more than 10% by LeIBP supplementation in 5% DMSO/5% FBS: viability increased by 20% for HeLa cells, 28% for NIH/3T3 cells, 21% for MC3T3-E1, 10% for CHO-K1, and 20% for HaCaT. Furthermore, addition of LeIBP reduced the concentrations of toxic DMSO and FBS down to 5%. Therefore, we demonstrated that LeIBP can increase the viability of cryopreserved mammalian cells by inhibiting IR.

  • Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a microbial storage polymer with biodegradable properties. In order to improve the cell compatibility of PHBV surfaces, the physicochemical treatments have been demonstrated. In this study, physical method was corona discharge treatment and chemical method was chloric acid mixture solution treatment. The physicochemically treated PHBV film surfaces were characterized by the measurement of water contact angle, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water contact angle of the physicochemically treated PHBV surfaces decreased from 75 to 30~40 degree, increased hydrophilicity. due to the introduction of oxygen-based functional group onto the PHBV backbone chain. The mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts cultured onto the physicochemically treated PHBV film surfaces with different wettability. The effect of the PHBV surface with different wettability was determined by SEM as counts of cell number and [$^3$H]thymidine incorporation as measures of cell proliferation. As the surface wettability increased, the number of the cell adhered and proliferated on the surface was increased. The result seems closely related with the serum protein adsorption on the physicochemically treated PHBV surface. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the surface wettabilily of biodegradable polymer as the PHBV plays an important role for cell adhesion and proliferation behavior for biomedical application.

  • 노루궁뎅이는 담자균문, 민주름버섯목, 산호침버섯과에 속하는 식의약용버섯으로 예로부터 위궤양이나 위암의 치료에 효과가 있으며 생쥐의 Sarcoma 180과 Ehrlich Sarcoma에도 효과가 있다고 알려져 왔다. 노루궁뎅이의 자실체로부터 중성염용액, 열수 및 메탄올 등을 이용하여 조다당류를 추출하고 ICR mice에 주사하여 항암 및 면역증강 효과를 조사하였다. Sarcoma 180, HepG2, HT-29, NIH3T3 등의 세포에 대한 세포독성을 조사한 결과 $10{\sim}2,000\;{\mu}g/ml$의 조다당류 농도에서 각각의 암세포는 세포독성을 거의 나타내지 않았다. Sarcoma 180으로 접종된 ICR mouse에 자실체에서 추출한 각각의 조다당류를 투여한 실험군은 대조군에 비해 수명이 각각 29.1~54.1% 연장되었다. 노루궁뎅이 자실체를 중성염 용액으로 추출한 조다당류는 $50\;{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 비장세포의 수를 2.9배 증가시켰으며 또한 중성염 추출 조다당류를 $200\;{\mu}g/ml$의 농도로 투여한 실험군 생쥐의 B 임파구 alkaline phosphatase의 활성은 대조군에 비해 5.5배의 증가하였다. 중성염 용액 추출 조다당류를 50 mg/kg body weight의 농도로 투여한 실험군 생쥐의 총 복강 세포 수와 백혈구의 수는 대조군에 비하여 각각 4배와 2.3배로 증가하였다. 또한 면역 관련 장기인 간, 비장 및 흉선의 체중에 대한 무게 비율은 대조군에 비하여 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 따라서 노루궁뎅이의 자실체에서 추출한 조다당류는 생쥐의 면역을 증강시키고 생쥐의 Sarcoma 180에 대해 항암효과를 나타내었다.

  • mi transcription factor (MITF)는 비만세포의 분화를 조절하는 중요한 전사인자이다. 특히 MITF는 결합조직형 비만세포에서 일반적으로 발현하는 비만세포 특이적 세린 단백분해효소의 일종인 mMCP-6 유전자의 전사를 조절한다. 본 연구는 마우스 골수유래 배양비만세포에서 mMCP-6 유전자의 전사를 조절하는 MITF이형체를 규명하였다. MITF 이형체들의 발현은 RT-PCR로 확인하였다. IL-3존재 하에서 배양한 점막형 비만세포들은 MITF-A,-E, -H, -Mc 등이 발현하였다. 반면에 SCF존재 하에서 배양한 결합조직형 비만세포들은 MITF-A가 발현하였다. MITF이형체를 과발현시키면 NIH-3T3 세포에서 mMCP-6 promoter를 통한 luciferase 활성을 증가시키고, MC/9 비만세포주에서는 증가된 mMCP-6발현을 유도하였다. 더불어 비만세포에서의 mMCP-6 발현은 MITF-A 고갈로 인하여 유의적으로 억제되었다. MITF-A의 전사활성과 DNA결합은 MITF-E, -H, -Mc 등의 타 이형체들의 결과와 유사하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과들은 MITF-A가 마우스 결합조직형 비만세포에서 발현하여 mMCP-6 전사를 조절하는 중요한 이형체임을 제시한다.

  • Carbofuran에 의하여 손상된 NIH3T3 섬유모세포(mouse skin fibroblast)를 보상시킬 수 있는 물질을 개발하기 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 carbofuran이 NIH3T3 섬유모세포에 미치는 세포독성을 검정하고, carbofuran의 독성에 대한 phenobarbital sodium(PB) 및 3-methylcholantherene(3-MC)의 보상효과를 비교${\cdot}$분석하였다. Carbofuran의 $IC_{50}$ 결정은 배양중인 NIH3T3 섬유모세포의 각 well당 1, 25, 50, $100{\mu}M$의 carbofuran을 첨가하여 48시간 배양한 후 MTT(Tetrazolium MTT), NR(Neutral red) 및 SBR(Sulforhodamine B protein)정량을 실시하여 이들에 대한 각각의 $IC_{50}$을 구하였으며, 여기에서 구한 carbofuran의 $IC_{50}$농도와 여러 농도의 PB 또는 3-MC를 배양액에 첨가하여 48시간 배양한 후 MTT, NR 및 SRB 정량을 실시하여 보상효과를 측정하고 광학현미경적 관찰을 실시하였다. Carbofuran의 세포독성 실험결과를 보면 MTT흡광도는 carbofuran의 농도증가에 따라 감소하였으며 $MTT_{50}$$60.7{\mu}M$이었고, NR흡광도는 $100{\mu}M$농도에서 급격히 감소하였으며, $NR_{50}$$82.5{\mu}M$이었고, SRB흡광도는 $50{\mu}M$농도에서 급격히 감소하였으며 $SRB_{50}$$87.0{\mu}M$로써 50%의 세포독성을 나타냈다. 보상효과 실험에서는 carbofuran IC50과 PB의 조합처리의 경우 MTT 정랑과 NR정량에서는 유사하게 PB $100{\mu}M$처리군에서부터 유의성있는 보상효과가 나타났으나, SRB정량에서는 보상효과가 인정되지 않았다. Carbofura $IC_{50}$과 3-MC의 조합처리의 경우 MTT정량은 3-MC $50{\mu}M$처리군에서부터, NR정량과 SRB정량의 경우는 동일하게 3-MC $100{\mu}M$처리군에서부터 유의성있는 보상효과가 나타났다. 세포의 광학현미경적 관찰소견의 경우에서도 carbofuran과 PB 또는 3-MC 조합처리 실험군 모두에서 세포가 회복되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 PB와 3-MC 모두 carbofuran의 세포독성을 감소시킬 수 있는 물질임을 알 수 있었다.
