본 연구는 어류 병원균의 비 유전성을 가지는 항생제 내성균인 persister cell에 관한 연구이다. Persister cell은 기존의 항생제를 분해하는 저항균체(resistant cell)와는 다른 특성으로 항생제에 대한 저항성을 가지는데, 항생제가 존재하는 환경에서 새로운 기작으로 항생제에 대한 내성을 형성한다. 그래서 기존의 양식장에서 어류를 키울 때 어류에 투여하는 항생제는 일반적인 균주의 사멸 항생제 농도보다 더 높은 농도의 항생제를 투여하게 된다. 특히, E. tarda에 대한 다양한 항생제가 개발되어 있지만 내성균의 출현으로 그 효과가 좋지 않으며, 또한 persister cell에 의한 질병 재발을 방지하기 위해 균사멸 농도보다 훨씬 높은 농도의 항생제를 처리하고 있다. Persiser cell의 특이적인 저감 효과를 확인 하기 위하여 선별된 3종의 식물 추출물(돌외, 예덕나무, 상산)을 항생제와 함께 사용하였으며, 돌외와 예덕나무가 100 ${\mu}g/ml$, 상산은 200 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 persister cell의 사멸 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 넙치를 이용한 12일간의 누적 폐사율을 조사한 결과, 식물 추출물과 항생제 혼합액의 복강 투여구가 항생제 단독의 복강 투여구 보다 낮은 누적 폐사율이 관찰되었고, 항생제에 첨가한 식물 추출물의 농도가 돌외 30 ${\mu}g/ml$, 예덕나무 10 ${\mu}g/ml$, 상산 10 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도 투여구에서 가장 낮은 누적 폐사율을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에 사용된 세가지 추출물들(돌외, 예덕나무, 상산)은 항균 활성을 가지지 않은 농도에서 항생제와 병용하여 persister cell의 저감 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

For improvement of plants in disease resistance, it is most important to elucidate the mechanism to perceive and respond to the signal molecules of invaders. A model system with pea and its pathogen, Mycosphaerella pinodes, showed that the fungal elicitor induced defense responses in all plant species tested but that the suppressor of the fungus blocked or delayed the expression of defense responses and induced accessibility only in the host plant. In the world, many researchers believe that the pathogens` signals are recognized only on the receptors in the plasma membranes. Though we found that the ATPase and polyphosphoinositide metabolism in isolated plasma membranes responded to these fungal signals, we failed to detect specific actions of the suppressor in vitro on these plasma membrane functions. Recently, we found that ATPase (NTPases) and superoxide generating system in isolated cell wall were regulated by these fungal signals even in vitro, especially, by the suppressor in a strictly species-specific manner and also that the cell wall alone prepared an original defense system. The effects of both fungal signals on the isolated cell wall functions in vitro coincide perfectly with those on defense responses in vivo. In this treatise, we discuss the key role of the cell wall, which is plant-specific and the most exterior organelle, in determining host-parasite specificity and molecular target for improvement of plants.

Many therapeutic glycoproteins have been successfully generated in plants. Plants have advantages regarding practical and economic concerns, and safety of protein production over other existing systems. However, plants are not ideal expression systems for the production of biopharmaceutical proteins, due to the fact that they are incapable of the authentic human N-glycosylation process. The majority of therapeutic proteins are glycoproteins which harbor N-glycans, which are often essential for their stability, folding, and biological activity. Thus, several glyco-engineering strategies have emerged for the tailor-making of N-glycosylation in plants, including glycoprotein subcellular targeting, the inhibition of plant specific glycosyltranferases, or the addition of human specific glycosyltransferases. This article focuses on plant N-glycosylation structure, glycosylation variation in plant cell, plant expression system of glycoproteins, and impact of glycosylation on immunological function. Furthermore, plant glyco-engineering techniques currently being developed to overcome the limitations of plant expression systems in the production of therapeutic glycoproteins will be discussed in this review.

다양한 유도조건에서 확립한 64종의 식물배양세포주의 MPA추출물을 대상으로 DPPH 라디칼을 이용하여 항산화 활성을 조사하고 활성이 높은 세포주를 대상으로 HPLC로 ascorbate 함량을 분석하였다. 13종의 세포주는 생체중 50mg 이하에서 DPPH 라디칼의 자연산화를 억제하는 높은 항산화활성을 나타내었다. 이중 6종의 세포주의 MPA추출물을 실리카겔 TLC에 전개하여 DPPH용액을 분무한 결과, ascorbate와 같은 Rf 위치에서 DPPH 양성반응을 나타내는 화합물이 존재하였다. DPPH 양성반응을 나타낸 덩굴장미(Rosa multiflora), 황금(Scutellaria baicalensis), 쇠무릎(Achyranthes japonica) 세포주의 ascorbate 함량($\mu\textrm{g}/g$ cell fresh wt)은 각각 48.5, 30.3, 16.8였다. 황금 캘러스 배양에서 ascorbate의 함량은 세포생장에 비례하여 정지기까지 증가한 후 계속적인 생장에 따라 급격히 감소하였다.

Effects of various environmental factors on cell size index(FCW/DCW) in Thalictrum rugosum. Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Taxus cuspidata plant cell suspension cultures were investigated. Time course change of cell size index were also observed. In batch cultures, FCW/DCW increased according to the decrease of sugar concentration. For short-term experiment within 24 hr, FCW/DCW value could be reduced significantly by increasing sugar concentration. When an osmoticum such as mannitol was added, FCW/DCW converged to a low value. Therefore, it was confirmed that osmolality of the medium was important in determining cell size or water content of the cells. Inorganic salts or treatment with organic solvent also exhibited some effect on the cell size index. However, pH and centrifugal force did not show any influences. On the other hand, it was found that the addition of Pluronic F-68 reduced FCW/DCW. By combining these results effectively, it may be possible to increase the cell concentration in high density culture to a higher extent.

The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita infects a variety of plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana. During migration, root-knot nematodes secrete different proteins to modify cell walls, which include pectolytic enzymes. However, the contribution of host cell wall proteins has not been described during this process. The function of two DUF642 cell wall proteins, BIIDXI (BDX, At4g32460) and TEEBE (TEB, At2g41800), in plant development could be related to the regulation of pectin methyl esterification status in the cell walls of different tissues. Accordingly, the expression of these two genes is up-regulated by auxin. BDX and TEB were highly induced during early M. incognita inoculation. Moreover, cell wall localization of the proteins was also induced. The cell wall localization of BDX and TEB DUF642 proteins during M. incognita early inoculation suggested that these two proteins could be involved in the regulation of the degree of pectin methylation during cell separation.
