In the course of the study on strain inprovement by protoplast fusion, Lactobacillus acidophilus 88 protoplasts production and regeneration conditions were investigated. This strain produced a bacteriocin that revealed strong inhibitory activity against various indicator strains, especially L. helveticus CNRZ 1096. Protoplasts of L. acidophilus 88 strains were very efficiently obtained by treatment with 125 $\mu $g/ml lysozyme in a protoplast forming buffer containing 20 mM N-2 hydroxy-ethtl-piperazine-N'-2-ethane-sulfonic acid(HEPES, pH 7.0) and 1M sucrose at 37$\circ $C for 30 min. Hovever, treatment with mutanolysin was not effective for the production of L. acidophilus 88 protoplasts under the same conditions. High protoplast yield was obtained form the cells at the middle to late logarithmic growth phase in the de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe(MRS) medium. Regeneration was efficiently accomplished with the MRS medium containing 10% sucrose.

Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that constantly undergo fission and fusion processes that closely related to their function. Disruption of mitochondrial dynamics has been demonstrated in acute kidney injury (AKI), which could eventually result in cell injury and death. Previously, we reported that augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) alleviates renal tubular epithelial cell injury. Here, we gained further insights into whether the renoprotective roles of ALR are associated with mitochondrial dynamics. Changes in mitochondrial dynamics were examined in experimental models of renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR). In a model of hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) injury in vitro, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) and mitochondrial fission process protein 1 (MTFP1), two key proteins of mitochondrial fission, were downregulated in the Lv-ALR + HR group. ALR overexpression additionally had an impact on phosphorylation of Drp1 Ser637 during AKI. The inner membrane fusion protein, Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1), was significantly increased whereas levels of outer membrane fusion proteins Mitofusin-1 and -2 (Mfn1, Mfn2) were not affected in the Lv-ALR + HR group, compared with the control group. Furthermore, the mTOR/4E-BP1 signaling pathway was highly activated in the Lv-ALR + HR group. ALR overexpression led to suppression of HR-induced apoptosis. Our collective findings indicate that ALR gene transfection alleviates mitochondrial injury, possibly through inhibiting fission and promoting fusion of the mitochondrial inner membrane, both of which contribute to reduction of HK-2 cell apoptosis. Additionally, fission processes are potentially mediated by promoting tubular cell survival through activating the mTOR/4E-BP1 signaling pathway.

본 연구에서는 토양 내에서 비선택적으로 작용하는 제초제인 phosphinothricin(PPT) 을 분해할 수 있는 세균을 분리. 동정하고 돌연변이 유도 및 세포융합의 기법을 통해 그 능력을 개량하였으며, 아울러 다른 제초제인 glyphosate 저항성 균주 (Pseudomonas cepacia) 와의 종간 세포 융함을 이용하여 두가지 제초제에 동시에 작용 할 수 있는 균주의 개발 가능성을 알아보았다. 이때, 분리된 PPT 분해균주는 Pseudomonas paucimobilis 로 동정되었고, ethylmethansulfate 를 처리하여 영양 요구성 돌연변이를 얻은뒤, 이를 종내 세포융합을 위한 균주로 사용하였다. Lysozyme 과 EDTA 를 이용하여 원형질체를 형성시켰을때, 원형질체 재생율은 P. paucimoblis 의 경우 6.5%, P. cepacia 의 경우 8.8% 로 나타났다. 세포융합의 fusogen 으로 polyethylenglycol 6,000 을 사용하여, 종내 융합을 통한 융합체 F1, F2, 종간 융합을 통한 융합체 F3, F4 를 얻었다. 종내 융합의 결과, 융합체 F1 위 경우 야생형에 비해 PPT 분해능이 약 11% 정도 향상되었으며, 종간융합을 통하여 얻은 융합체의 경우, PPT 분해능 및 glyphosate 저항성 등의 모균주 특성을 모두 지니고 있다.

In order to obtain acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic, through microbial p-hydroxylation and N-acetylation of aniline, various fungi and bacteria were secreened. Among them, Streptomyces species were chosen for strain improvement by the use of interspecific protoplast fusion technique. Two interspecific fused strains were developed between S. rimosus (N-cetylation function) and S. aureofaciens (p-hydroxylation function) and also between S. lividans and S. globisporus. For efficient protoplast fusion and cell wall regeneration, various conditions were examined. In a typical experiment of mixed S rimosus ($pro^- \;his^-$) and S. aureofaciens ($ilv^-$) protoplasts with 40% (w/v) polythylene glycol 3350 (PEG) for 3 min gave $8.3\times10^{-7}$ of fusion frequency. Treatment of mixed S. lividans (pant-) and S. globisporus (leu-) protoplasts with 50% (w/v) PEG for 3 min at $30^\circ{C}$ gave $1.2\times10^{-6}$ of frequency. Among the fused strains, up to 40-50% increase in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation of acetanilide, plasmid curing was attempted. We found that cells treated with acriflavine (at the frequency of 100%) and cells regenerated from protoplsts of S. auroefaciens (2% frequency) lost their p-hydroxylation function.

Streptomyces actuosus DMCJ-49 and Streptomyces minoensis DMCJ-144 produce the .alpha.-amylase inhibitor. Inerspecific protoplast fusion technique was used to increase the productivity of .alpha.-amylase inhibitor. Four auxotrophic mutants were obtained respectively from two strains by N-methyl-N'-nitor-N-nitrosoguanidine(3mg/ml) treatment. The optimum conditions for the protoplast formation of Streptomyces actuosus DMCJ-49 ade was as follows; 1.2% w/v of glycine, 3mg/ml of lysozyme, and 30 min of lysozyme treatment followed by 36 hr. incubation in the protop-last formation medium. In case of DMCJ-144-his those were 1.2%w/v, 3 mg/ml, 30 minutes and 60 hours, respectively. Regeneration was accomplished with hypertonic soft agar medium that contained 0.4M sucrose, 20mM CaCl$_2$, 50 mM MgCl$_2$ and low levels of phosphate. Fusion of protoplasts carrying different auxotrophic markers was achieved by treatment with polyethylene glycol. The optimum concentration of polyethylene glycol 1450 for the production of recombinants was 40%w/v. When the protoplasts was treated with 40% polyethylene glycol for 30 minutes, the frequency of recombinants was 6.5$\times$$10^{-3}$ and the $\alpha$-amylase inhibition activity of $ade^-his^-$ No. 4, which is the fusant with the most improved activity increased from 33 to 125 I.U./ml.

생분해성 고분자인 poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)를 이용한 조직공학용 다공성 지지체에서의 공극률, 공극의 크기, 공극의 모양 등은 주입된 세포들이 안착하여 증식하는데 있어서 중요한 요건 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 섬유를 세포와 다공크기와의 관계를 파악하고자 다공형성물질인 염화나트륨을 다섯 개의 범위로 분류하여 용매캐스팅/염추출법을 이용한 다양한 다공크기를 갖는 다공성 지지체를 제조하였다. (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium-bromide) (MMT) 분석방법을 이용하여 제조된 지지체에 파종된 섬유륜 세포의 생존율과 증식률을 확인하였으며, in vitro 환경에서의 콜라겐 양과 DNA량을 측정하였다. In vitro 환경에의 세포간의 발생하는 여러 상호작용을 확인하기 위하여 면역결핍 쥐의 피하에 섬유륜 세포가 파종된 지지체를 이식하여 sulfated g1ycosaminoglycan(SGAG)의 합성정도와 조직학적인 평가를 수행하였다. 결론적으로 $180{\sim}250{\mu}m$ 다공크기를 갖는 지지체에서 높은 세포 생존율과 체내에서의 원할한 세포외기질의 형성을 보임으로써 여타의 지지체보다 섬유를 조직 재생에 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

Skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated process initiated by activation of adult muscle satellite cells. Upon muscle injury, the inflammatory process is always accompanied by muscle regeneration. Leukotriene $B_4$ is one of the essential inflammatory mediators. We isolated and cultured primary satellite cells. RT-PCR showed that myoblasts expressed mRNA for $LTB_4$ receptors BLT1 and BLT2, and $LTB_4$ promoted myoblast proliferation and fusion. Quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblotting showed that $LTB_4$ treatment expedited the expression process of differentiation markers MyoD and M-cadherin. U-75302, a specific BLT1 inhibitor, but not LY2552833, a specific BLT2 inhibitor, blocked proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts induced by $LTB_4$, which implies the involvement of the BLT1 pathway. Overall, the data suggest that $LTB_4$ contributes to muscle regeneration by accelerating proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells.

세균의 protopalst 융합을 연구하기 위하여 Bacillus subtilis로부터 두 개의 영양 요구성 균주를 NTG처리에 의해서 분리하였다. 두 개의 영양 요구성 균주는 Uracil 요구성 균주와 Tryptophan 요구성 균주였다. $ura^-$균주와 $trp^-$균주의 친주로의 역돌연변이율은 각각 $2.4{\times}10^{-8}$과 $1{\times}10^{-8}$이하였다. Lysozyme 처리에 의하여 protoplast를 만들기 위한 최적 pH와 온도는 6.5와 $30^{\circ}C$였다. Protoplast 생성을 위한 lysozyme의 최적농도는 $200{\mu}g/ml$였다. Protoplast가 본래의 균체로 회복되는 율은 3.3%였다.
