  • 초산납을 투여한 rat에 양파즙을 투여하여 양파의 납해독 능력 유무를 알아보기 위한 본 연구에서 다음 결론을 얻었다. 납만 투여한 P군은 28일간에 대조군보다 30.2% 낮은 체중 증가를 보이나 납과 함께 양파즙을 투여한 OP군은 P군보다 증가율이 약 3% 향상되었다. 외관과 해부소견상 P군은 3~4주째 OP군 보다 뚜렷한 납중독 현상 즉 경련 탈진 간변색 위점막 염증 등을 보였다. P군에서 혈청 GPT, cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase 값이 대조군 보다 각각 57.0, 50.3, 70.5, 71.7% 증가했다. 반면 OP군에서는 이들 측정치가 36.7, 38.5, 48.1, 37.4%로 증가하여 P군 보다 비교적 낮은 증가를 보여 양파즙에 의한 납해독 영향으로 보였다. P군의 hemoglobin 함량 9.7g/dl도 대조군 보다 37.4% 감소되나 OP군은 12.6g/dl로 개선되었다. 간의 납함량도 P군의 0.29mg/100g보다 양파즙 투여군(OP)에서 개선되어 0.1g/100g을 보였다. 28일이 경과한 P군의 다수 rat에서 간세포 변성 과 증식된 kuffer cell 내 많은량의 색소 침착과 모세혈관 주위의 출혈과 일부세포의 necrosis를 보이고 sinus 공간도 확장되었다. 그러나 OP군에서는 간세포 변성을 보이나 kuffer cell내 담흑색소량의 증가는 현저하지 않았다. 따라서 납에 중독된 rat(lead 100mg/kg rat)에 사료의 2%에 해당된 양파를 투여하므로서 납 중독의 예방 내지 중독증상을 경감할 수 있음이 나타났다.

  • Background: Molecular mechanisms of natural killer (NK) cell development from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have not been clearly elucidated, although the roles of some genes in NK cell development have been reported previously. Thus, searching for molecules and genes related NK cell developmental stage is important to understand the molecular events of NK cell development. Methods: From our previous SAGE data-base, Gpnmb (Glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B) was selected for further analysis. We confirmed the level of mRNA and protein of Gpnmb through RT-PCR, quantitative PCR, and FACS analysis. Then we performed cell-based ELISA and FACS analysis, to know whether there are some molecules which can bind to Gpnmb. Using neutralizing antibody, we blocked the interaction between NK cells and OP9 cells, and checked IFN-${\gamma}$ production by ELISA kit. Results: Gpnmb expression was elevated during in vitro developmental stage and bound to OP9 cells, but not to NK precursor cells. In addition, we confirmed that the levels of Gpnmb were increased at NK precursor stage in vivo. We confirmed syndecan4 as a candidate of Gpnmb's binding molecule. When the interaction between NK cells and OP9 cells were inhibited in vitro, IFN-${\gamma}$ production from NK cells were reduced. Conclusion: Based on these observations, it is concluded that Gpnmb has a potential role in NK cell development from HSCs.

  • Although the Herba Cirsii is known to posses beneficial health effects, the anti-diabetic effects and the mechanism of action have not been elucidated. In the present study we have shown that Herba Cirsii Extract (HCE) can stimulate glucose uptake in OP9 adipocytes. Unlike insulin, HCE did not stimulate the Ser473 phosphorylation and activation of Akt. The increasing effects of HCE on glucose uptake were inhibited by PD680509 and compound C pretreatment, which means that the glucose uptake effects by HCE were carried out by extracelluar signal-regulated kinase1/2(ERK1/2) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. Further studies revealed that HCE stimulated glucose transport occurs through a mechanism involving ERK1/2 activation and AMPK activation.

  • In this study, we investigated the inhibition effects of mixtures of Atractylodes macrocephala (AM) and Amomum villosum (AV) water extracts on adipocyte differentiation. Treatment with mixtures of AM and AV extracts in a ratio of 3:1 for 24 and 48 hours did not show any cytotoxicity in OP9 cells. Mixtures of AM(3) and AV(1) extracts inhibited adipocyte differentiation, expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and CCAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), the major transcription factors of differentiation. It also inhibited the expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), adipocyte protein 2 (aP2), which are PPARγ-target genes in adipocyte. We also checked the inhibition effects on cell proliferation during the early stage of differentiation by treatment with mixtures of AM(3) and AV(1) extracts. It markedly inhibited adipocyte proliferation after 48 hours, and also the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt after 10 min or 3 hour. These results identify a possible mechanism of action of mixtures of AM(3) and AV(1) extracts, suggesting that the mixtures of AM(3) and AV(1) extracts-induced inhibition of ERK and Akt phosphorylation suppresses adipogenesis by inhibiting other signaling cascades that include PPARγ and C/EBPα during the process of OP9 adipocyte differentiation.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix (AP) and Acanthopanacis Cortex (AT) extracts in bone-derived adipocyte OP9 cell, osteoclast and osteoblast-like MG63 cells. Methods : MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of AP and AT extracts on OP9, osteoclast and MG63 cells. OP9 cells were treated with AP and AT, and the alterations in fat storage in the cells were determined by the Oil red O. To explain effects of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in bone marrow macrophages, we performed the TRAP staining. The protein level of CAAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) as a adipocyte differentiation marker, and adiponectin was examined using western blot in differentiated OP9 cells. Effects of related genes were confirmed by luciferase assay using reporter assay. Results : AP and AT was not toxic on OP9 and MG63 cells, but AT was a little cytotoxic to osteoclast at the dose of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. They could inhibit differentiation of OP9 cells and osteoclast with results of oil red O staining and TRAP staining. By western blot, AP and AT decreased the expression of $PPAR{\gamma}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$ which is the key transcription factor in adipogenesis and adiponectin secretion. AT also inhibited the BMP-4 activity in luciferase assay. AP also inhibited BMP-4 and Wnt3a activity, stimulated ER-${\beta}$ activity but inhibited androgen receptor activity. Conclusions : These results show AP and AT can be useful in osteoporosis and obesity via inhibition of osteoclast and adipocyte differentiation.

  • Obesity is associated with numerous diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Inhibition of adipogenesis is a effectite strategy to anti-obesity. In this study, Galla Chinenisis extract (GCE) inhibited adipocyte differentiation in OP9 cells. There was no cytotoxicity when cells were treated with GCE in designated time intervals, unaffected by concentration. In this cell model, increases in fat storage were inhibited by 2 days treatment with various concentration of GCE, visualized by Oil red-O, BODIPY and DAPI staining. To understand the underlying mechanism at the molecular level, the effects of GCE were examined on the expression of the genes involved in adipogenesis by real-time PCR. In the progress of adipocyte differentiation with GCE-treated, the mRNA level of adipogenic genes such as peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$), computer-assisted axial tomography/enhancer binding protein-alpha ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) were decreased. Also, GCE treatment inhibited increase of mRNA expression, which is adipogenic factor such as fatty acid synthase (FAS), hormone-sensitve lipase (HSL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and adipocyte-specific lipid binding protein (aP2). Therefore, the result of this study suggest that Galla Chinenisis extract can prevent adipocyte differentiation and GCE may have a great potential as a novel anti-adipogenic agent.

  • 당근(Daucus carota L. var. sativa)은 세계적으로 광범위하게 사용되는 채소 작물 중 하나로 비타민 A 카로티노이드의 전구체로 잘 알려진 베타카로틴이 다량 함유되어 있어 영양학적으로도 중요한 작물이다. 하지만 당근 종자는 종피의 epidermal 세포에서 연장되는 형태로 생성되는 종자모의 캐로톨 등과 같은 다양한 요인들에 의해 종자의 수분흡수와 발아가 억제된다. 따라서 당근 종자를 상품화하기 이전에 기계적인 종자모 제거과정을 거쳐야 하며 이러한 과정 때문에 생산자는 종자의 물리적인 손실은 물론 시간과 노동력, 그리고 자본금과 같은 추가적인 손실을 감수해야만 한다. 그리고 종자의 물리적인 손실은 종자발아율을 불균일하게 한다. 이러한 문제점들을 보완하기 위해서 무모종자 당근품종 개발을 위한 육종이 필요하게 되었으며 이러한 육종과정을 위해 종자모 형질관련 분자표지에 관한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 단모종자 표현형 CT-SMR 616 OP 659-1 개체와 유모종자 표현형 CT-SMR 616 OP 677-14 개체, 그리고 단모종자 표현형 CT-ATR 615 OP 666-13 개체와 유모종자 표현형 CT-ATR 615 OP 671-9 개체의 cDNA library를 각각 작성하였다. 또한 각각의 개체별로 1,248개의 EST, 합계 4,992개의 EST를 sequencing하였다. 단모종자와 유모종자 개체의 EST sequence들을 2개의 조합에서 각각 비교 분석하여 19개의 SNP site, 14개의 SNP site를 확인하였으며 이를 바탕으로 SNP site에 대한 High Resolution Melting 분석을 위한 프라이머를 작성하였다. 작성된 HRM 프라이머들은 유모종자 표현형 CT-SMR 616 OP 1040 개체군과 무모종자 표현형 CT-SMR 616 OP 1024, 1025, 1026 개체군을 이용하여 확인하였다. 그 중 한세트의 HRM 프라이머에서 유모 및 단모종자 표현형 개체군들의 melting curve간 특이적 다형성을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 유모종자 당근 및 단모종자 당근간의 보다 간편한 선발을 위해 allele-specific PCR 프라이머를 작성하였다. 이러한 HRM 및 AS-PCR 결과는 무모종자 당근육종에 있어 유용한 분자표지로써 사용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

  • 당근(Daucus carota L. var. sativa)은 세계적으로 널리 이용되는 작물 중 이며, 영양학적으로도 중요한 작물이다. 하지만, 종자 표피세포에서 생성되는 종자모는 발아를 억제하고 흡수를 저해하여 육묘에 어려움을 야기한다. 이러한 어려움을 타파하기 위해 당근 종자는 기계적인 제모작업을 거쳐 상품화 되고 있다. 이 과정에서 생산상의 여러 가지 단점들이 발생하며, 이를 보완하기 위해 단모종자 당근 품종의 육종이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 단모종자 표현형 CT-ATR 615 OP 666-13개체와 장모종자 표현형 CT-ATR 615 OP 671-9개체 및 단모종자 표현형 CT-SMR 616 OP 659-1 개체와 장모종자 표현형 CT-SMR 616 OP 677-14개체 등 두 조합의 종자 cDNA library를 작성 후 EST 염기서열의 비교분석을 통해 당근 종자모 형질관련 연구에 이용하고자 하였다. 첫째로 EST 염기서열의 BlastX 결과를 바탕으로 각각의 EST를 FunCat 기능별 category로 분류하였다. 그 결과 Metabolism category와 protein folding 및 stabilization, protein binding, C-compound binding category에서 2조합 모두 동일한 유의적인 차이를 확인하였다. 두 번째로 EST 염기서열의 GO data를 바탕으로 seed trichome differentiation 및 cellulose biosynthetic process에 관련된 EST를 선발하였다. 이러한 FunCat category에서의 차이점과 GO data 분석을 통해 확인된 후보 EST 들이 당근 종자모 형성에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다. 마지막으로 분석된 개체 별 EST 염기서열을 바탕으로 33개의 SNP site, 741개의 SSR site를 확인하였다. 확인된 SNP 및 SSR site는 당근 종자모 형성에 관련된 분자마커 개발에 이용할 수 있음은 물론 당근의 여러 형질에 대한 연구에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

  • Hair follicles (HFs) are a well-characterized niche for adult stem cells (SCs), and include epithelial and melanocytic SCs. HF cells are an accessible source of multipotent adult SCs for the generation of the interfollicular epidermis, HF structures and sebaceous glands in addition to the reconstitution of novel HFs in vivo. In the present study, it was demonstrated that HF cells are able to be induced to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells in vitro under specific conditions. It was determined that HF cells cultured on OP9 feeder cells in KnockOut-Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium/B27 in the presence of vascular endothelial growth factors differentiated into cardiomyocyte-like cells that express markers specific to cardiac lineage, but do not express non-cardiac lineage markers including neural stem/progenitor cell, HF bulge cells or undifferentiated spermatogonia markers. These cardiomyocyte-like cells exhibited a spindle- and filament-shaped morphology similar to that presented by cardiac muscles and exhibited spontaneous beating that persisted for over 3 months. These results demonstrate that SC reprogramming and differentiation may be induced without resulting in any genetic modification, which is important for the clinical applications of SCs including tissue and organ regeneration.

  • In this study, Albizziae Cortex extracts (ACE) have potent effects on adipogenesis and on lipolysis in OP9 cells. There was no cytotoxicity while cells were treated with ACE in designated time intervals, unaffected by various concentrations. In the cells with ACE-treated, increases in fat storage were inhibited, and also confirmed by Oil red O. To understand the underlying mechanism at the molecular level, the effects of ACE were examined on the expression of the genes involved in adipogenesis by using real-time PCR. In this cell model, the mRNA level of adipogenic genes such as peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$) and CAAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) were decreased by ACE treatment, comparing with those of control group. Collectively, our data suggest that ACE may have great potential as a novel anti-obesity agent.
