  • To assess the feasibility of silk sericin for non-textile application, the storage stability and biological safety of sericin were examined. It was extracted at 37℃, 70℃, 100℃, and 121℃ for 1, 3, and 5 h to elucidate the effect of extraction condition on the stability and safety of silk sericin. The solubility was increased till approximately 26% with extraction temperature of 121℃ for 1 h. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that the molecular weight distribution depended on the extraction conditions. Extracted sericin displayed typical UV absorption bands upon spectrometric analysis. To examine the reproducibility of its obtained conformation, sericin was extracted thrice and its circular dichroism (CD) spectra was measured each time. Most CD spectra showed reproducibility regardless of temperature and time except under 100℃ extraction condition. The diversity of CD spectrum showed gradual reduction and was finally coincident with extraction time from 1 to 5 h. Notably, sericin has a negative peak of approximately 200 nm attributed to random coil conformation, regardless of extraction condition. However, at the 100℃ extraction condition, sericin showed both bands to be negative bands of approximately 200 and 220 nm, respectively. Sericin was centrifuged to determine the stability of storage conditions. The sericin extracted at 100℃ and 121℃ for 1 h was found to form gel rapidly within 1 h, but at 121℃ condition, the gel fraction was approximately 20% within 1 h which retained its phase regardless of storage time. The gel fraction of sericin extracted at 100℃ for 5 h increased with time, however at the 121℃ for 5 h condition, the gel fraction was measured to be less than 10% regardless of increase in storage time. PetriflimTM AC plates test showed that sericin was safe from aerobic bacteria activity by extraction under high temperature.

  • Objective : To investigate the possible molecular mechanism (s) of melittin as a candidate of anti-cancer drug, we examined the effects of the compound on the growth of human lung carcinoma cell line A549. Methods : Growth inhibitory study, flow cytometry analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis, RT-PCR and in vitro caspases activity assay were performed. Results : Melittin treatment declined the cell viability of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, which was associated with induction of apoptotic cell death. Melittin treatment down-regulated the levels of Bcl-XS/L mRNA and protein expression of A549 cells, an anti-apoptotic gene, however, the those of Bax, a pro-apoptotic gene, were up-regulated. Melittin induced the proteolytic cleavage and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 protease in a dose-dependent manner without alteration of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins family and Akt expression. Western blot analysis and RT-PCR data revealed that the levels of tumor suppressor p53 and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 were also remained unchanged. Conclusions : Taken together, these findings suggest that melittin-induced inhibition of human lung cancer cell growth is associated with the induction of apoptotic cell death via regulation of several major growth regulatory gene products, and melittin may have therapeutic potential in human lung cancer.

  • To investigate the possible mechanism of ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ as a candidate of anti-cancer drug, I examined the effects of ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ on the apoptosis of U937 cells MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blot analysis, and RT-PCR were performed. ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ treatment reduced the cell viablilty of U937 cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was associated with the induction of apoptotic cell death. ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ treatment also reduced the levels of Bcl-xL anti-apoptotic protein expression and increased the levels of caspase-3, p53, pro-apoptotic protein, in U937 cells. After treatment the level of Bcl-xL, anti-apoptotic gene expression was decreased and the level of ICE pro-apoptotic gene expression was increased. These findings suggest that ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ induced the apoptotic cell death via regulation of several growth regulatory gene products.

  • Background: Many functional molecules controlling diverse cellular function are included in low-molecular weight proteins and peptides. Materials and Methods: To identify proteins controlling function in lung adenocarcinomas (AC), we performed two-dimensional gel electrophoresis employing tricine-SDS polyacrylamide in the second dimension (tricine 2-DE). This system was able to detect proteins under 1 kDa even with post-translational modifications. To confirm the utility of detected proteins as novel tumor markers for AC, we performed immunohistochemical analysis using 170 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung AC tissues. Results: Tricine 2-DE revealed that five proteins including S100A16 were overexpressed in lung AC-derived cells compared with lung squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma-derived cells. Immunohistochemically, S100A16 showed various subcellular localization in lung cancer tissues and a membranous staining status was correlated with the T-factor (P=0.0008), pathological stage (P=0.0015), differentiation extent (P=0.0001), lymphatic invasion (P=0.0007), vascular invasion (P=0.0001), pleural invasion (P=0.0087), and gender (P=0.039), but not with the age or smoking history. More importantly, membranous staining of S100A16 was significantly correlated with a poorer overall survival of either stage I (P=0.0088) or stage II / III (P=0.0003) lung AC patients, and multivariate analysis confirmed that membranous expression of S100A16 was an independent adverse prognostic indicator (P=0.0001). Conclusions: The present results suggest that S100A16 protein is a novel prognostic marker for lung AC.

  • The cDNA sequence of the Japanese flounder (Paralychthys olivaceus) IgD has been previously reported (GenBank accession no. AB052658) and this was followed by the detection of IgD mRNA expression in some flounder organ tissues. However, it has not been determined whether the flounder IgD gene is virtually expressed into IgD protein. To characterize the flounder immunoglobulins utilized in elucidating the mechanism, evolution and diversity of the flounder immune system, antibodies specific to IgD and IgM were necessary. In the present study, partial flounder recombinant IgD (rIgD), IgM (rIgM) and the conserved regions of IgD and IgM (rCIg) were produced by cloning the cDNA sequence using isotype specific primers which were designed to produce unique fragments of IgD and IgM specific amino acid sequences. The production of recombinant Igs was ascertained by SDS-gel electrophoresis and immunoblot analysis using anti-T7$\cdot}$Taq antibody. The produced recombinant Igs were purified using affinity columns, and used as immunogens. Antibodies specific to the isotype of flounder Igs were generated by immunizing rabbits with rfIgs and the antibodies produced were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting. Specificities of the generated antibodies were evaluated by testing cross-reactivity between recombinant IgM and IgD. By ELISA, rabbit antibodies against the rfIgD fragment (anti-rfIgD) failed to recognize any kind of flounder serum Igs, whereas respective antibodies against rfCIg (anti-rfCIg) and rfIgM fragments (anti-rfIgM) reacted with serum Igs. Likewise, in immunoblot assays, though anti-rfIgD did not, both anti-rfCIg and anti-rfIgM bound with the ~85 kd flounder IgM heavy chain. By flow cytometry analysis, anti-rfCIg, anti-rfIgD and anti-rfIgM reacted with 6%, 3% and 6.5% of cells, respectively, suggesting that flounder IgD is not secreted in serum but expressed on flounder B-like cell surfaces as in mammals. Antibodies produced against recombinant flounder Igs could be used to develop sandwich assay systems for detecting flounder Igs and for further investigating the flounder immune system.

  • We investigated the changes of protein in chronic MI which was occurred with long-term ischemia, without reperfusion. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into the sham group and the experimental groups (MI groups). The sham group was treated only thoracotomy without ligation for left main descending artery (LMDA) of left coronary artery (LCA), and the experimental groups (MI7d, ligation of LMDA for 7 days and MI30d, ligation of LMDA for 30 days) were conducted an artificial chronic MI. The change of proteins according to passage of times was compared and analyzed on first and second dimension (1 and 2D) sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. Among total 46 spots expressed differentially in the sham group versus MI7d and MI30d groups on 2D gel, we selected proteins that the volume of spot was increased in the MI7d and MI30d groups compared with the sham group. After that, the proteins were identified through liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. In result, we could obtain many proteins as follows; albumin, glucose regulated protein 58 KDa, similar to tripartite motif protein 50, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein II, sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase, ATP synthetase alpha chain (mitochondrial precursor) and creatine kinase. In conclusion, we suggest many changed proteins shown at chronic ischemia after artificial MI and consider that these proteins play an important role in the function of heart after MI.

  • 우리나라에서 발생하는 주요 벼 바이러스로써 저항성 유전자원이 없어 현재까지 저항성 품종이 육성되지 못하고 있는 흑조위축병(Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus, RBSDV)에 대한 유전정보에 대하여 연구하였다. 매개충인 보독 애멸구를 이용하여 이병주를 생산한 후 바이러스 입자를 순수 분리하여 전기영동한 결과 10개의 band를 확인하였다. RBSDV RNA로부터 역전사 효소를 이용 cDNA를 합성한 후 ${\lambda}gt11$에 삽입하여 cDNA library를 만들었다. 이 library에서 6개의 단편을 선발하였으며 그중 한 개의 clone(pRV3)은 hybridization을 통해 RBSDV 게놈 조각 3번 유래인 것을 확인하였다. pRV3의 염기서열을 결정한 결과 2개의 ORF의 일부분들을 갖고 있었으며 이것은 바이러스 저항성 작물개발에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 부분동결상태하의 선도 변화와 육단백질 조성변화와의 관계를 규명하기 위하여, 보리새우를 시료로하여 부분동결 조건($-3^{\circ}C$)에 저장하여 두고 저장일수의 경과와 더불어 선도 변화의 단계별로 육의 단백질의 조성, 단백질 구성아미노산 및 유리아미노산의 조성 등의 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 그리고, 단백질의 조성 변화는 이를 엄밀히 검토하기 위하여, 육에서 근형질 단백질과 근원섬유 단백질을 각각 추출하고 선도변화에 따른 각 단백질의 구성 subunit의 변화를 SDS-PAG 전기영동분석에 의하여 검토하였으며, 한편, 근원섬유 단백질에 대하여는 $-3^{\circ}C$$-20^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 Ca-ATPase 활성도의 변화를 측정하여 변성의 속도정수($K_D$)도 구하였다. 보리새우의 육중에는 약$23\%$ 조단백질을 함유하고 있었으며, 단백질조성을 분석한 결과, 근형질단백질 $31.45\%$, 근원섬유 단백질 $5.04\%$, 세포내잔사단백질 $10.30\%$, 그리고 기질 단백질 $2.17\%$로 이루어져 있었다. 부분동결 저장 중의 선도변화를 선도변화 지표인 K-값, 총휘발성 염기질소량 및 pH의 변화로서 측정한 결과, 저장 26일째에 부패 초기에 접근하는 총휘발성 염기질소량 $25.29mg\%$, K-값 $31.36\%$, pH 8.83에 도달하였다. 부분동결 저장 중에는 저장기간의 경과와 더불어 근원섬유 단백질은 현저한 감소를 보였으며 기질단백질은 조금씩 감소하였다. 그러나 세포내잔사 단백질은 많은 증가를 보였고 근형질 단백질도 조금 증가하였다. 별도로 근원섬유 단백질의 일부를 $-3^{\circ}C$$-20^{\circ}C$에 두고 Ca-ATPase 활성도의 변화를 측정하여 변성속도정수를 구하였더니 $-3^{\circ}C$에서는 $K_D=9.03{\times}10^{-6}sec^{-1}$, 그리고 $-20^{\circ}C$에서는 $K_D=4.42{\times}10^{-6}sec^{-1}$을 보여 $-20^{\circ}C$ 일때가 훨씬 안정하였다. 근형질 단백질과 근원섬유 단백질의 구성 subunit의 변화를 SDS-PAG 전기영동법으로 분석한 결과, 근형질 단백질은 즉살했을때 12개의 subunit 이던것이 부패초기에 가까운 상태를 보인 26일째에는 8개 subunit만이 남았고, 근원섬유 단백질에 있어서는 즉살했을 때 17개 subunit이던 것이 26일이 경과했을 때는 22개 subunit로 증가하였다. 근원섬유 단백질 구성 subunit중에서 저장중에 새로히 출현한 subunit는 30,000, 41,000, 107,000, 136,000, 170,000, 173,000, 185,000 및 198,000 dalton의 각 subunit이었으며, 소멸한 subunit는 19,000, 22,000, 140,000 및 165,000 dalton의 각 subunit였다. 부분동결 저장 중 단백질을 구성하는 아미노산의 조성 변화를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 아미노산은 시일의 경과와 더블어 일률적으로 조금씩 감소하는 경향이었다. 그러나 유리아미노산의 조성 변화에 있어서는 즉살한 보리새우육 중에는 glycine, proline, arginine, alanine 및 taurine 등 5종의 아미노산이 총유리아미노산의 $93\%$를 차지하였다. 저장중에는 taurine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine, serine, Lysine, methionine, isoleucine, histidine 등이 2배 이상 증가하였으나 proline만은 대폭 감소한 것이 특징이었다.

  • In order to assess the possibility whether CYP2D is involved in caffeine metabolism, we have purified and characterized the rat liver microsomal cytochrome P4502D1 (CYP2D1), equivalent to CYP2D6 in human liver, and have utilized the reconstituted CYP2D1 in the metabolism of 4 primary caffeine (1, 3, 7-trimethylxanthine) metabolites such as paraxanthine (1, 7-dimethylxanthine), 1, 3, 7-trimethylurate, theophylline (1, 3-dimethylxanthine) and theobromine (3, 7-dimethylxanthine). Rat liver CYP 2D1 has been purified to a specific content of 8.98 nmole/mg protein (13.4fold purification, 1.5% yield) using $\omega$-aminooctylagarose, hydroxlapatite, and DE52 columns in a sequential manner. As judged from sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the purified CYP2D1 was apparently homogeneous. Molecular weight of the purified CYP2D1 was found to be 51, 000 Da. Catalytic activity of the purified and then reconstituted CYP2D1 was confirmed by using bufuralol, a known subsFate of CYP2D1. The reconstituted CYP2D1 was found to produce to 1-hydroxylbufuralol at a rate of 1.43$\pm$0.13 nmol/min/nmol P450. The kinetic analysis of bufuralol hydroxylation indicated that Km and Vmax values were 7.32$\mu M$ and 1.64 nmol/min/nmol P450, respectively. The reconstituted CYP2D1 could catalyze the 7-demethylation of PX to 1-methylxanthine at a rate of 12.5 pmol/min/pmol, and also the 7- and 3- demethylations of 1, 3, 7-trimethylurate to 1, 3-dimethylurate and 1, 7-dimethylurate at 6.5 and 12.8 pmol/min/pmol CYP2D1, respectively. The reconstituted CYP2D1 could also 3-demethylate theophylline to 1-methylxanthine at 5 pmol/min/pmol and hydroxylate the theophylline to 1, 3-dimethylurate at 21.8 pmol/min/pmol CYP2D1. The reconstituted CYP2D1, however, did not metabolize TB at all (detection limits were 0.03 pmol/min/pmol). This study indicated that CYP2D1 is involved in 3-and 7-demethylations of paraxanthine and theophylline and suggested that CYP2D6 (equivalent to CYP2D1 in rat liver) present in human liver may be involved in the secondary metabolism of the primary metabolites of caffeine.
