  • The present investigation was designed to determine whether supplementation of different level of vitamin E for 12 months to arsenic exposed goats (50 ppm as sodium arsenite) affords protection against the blood hemato-biochemical parameters caused by the metalloid. A total of 24 crossbred (Alpine${\times}$Beetal) lactating goats were assigned randomly into 4 equal groups (control, $T_1$, $T_2$ and $T_3$) of 6 in each, on the basis of average body weight ($36.10{\pm}0.11$ kg) and milk yield ($1.61{\pm}0.04$ kg/d). The animals in $T_1$, $T_2$ and $T_3$ were given 50 ppm arsenic, while in $T_2$ and $T_3$, additionally; vitamin E at the rate of 100 IU and 150 IU/kg dry matter (DM) respectively was additionally supplemented for the period of 12 months. Hemoglobin (Hb), total leukocyte (TLC) and blood lymphocyte % were decreased (p<0.05) in arsenic fed groups and vitamin E supplementation in the experimental group showed a protective potential. Significant increases (p<0.05) in aspertate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) activities among arsenic supplemented groups were recorded, however vitamin E supplementation at higher doses showed a protective effect (p<0.05) against AST but in the case of ALT no ameliorating effect was found in either of the doses. Plasma total protein was decreased (p>0.05) but creatinine level was periodically increased in all As supplemented groups and vitamin E supplementation did not produce any protective effect. It can be concluded that arsenic exposure resulted in varying degree of changes in hemato-biochemical parameters and activities of antioxidant enzymes in goats but concomitant treatment with Vitamin E is partially helpful in reducing the burden of arsenic induced effect.

  • 흰쥐 간세포에 존재하는 비소결합물질의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 4 ppm의 비소를 포함하는 NaASO$_2$수용액의 식수로 15일간 흰쥐에 공급하였다. 비소처리군의 간 cytosol분획의 정상단백 질의 함량은 감소하였으나 8종류의 stress protein의 함량은 증가하였다. Cytosol에 존재하는 비소결합체물질은 한 종류이고,glycine, glutamic acid 및 cysteine의 3종류의 아미노산으로 구성되어있으며 분자량은 500D이었다.Glutathione은 비소와 5:1의 몰비로 결합하였으며 glutathione과 비소의 복합체는 gel filtration chromatography에서 비소결합물질과 같은 이동성을 나타내어 cytosol에 존재하는 미소결합물질은 glutathione으로 추정되었다. Glutathione에 결합한 비소는 미토콘드리아의 호흡, 형태전환 및 팽윤과 수축기능에 있어서 대조군과 별다른 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과들로써, 생체에 직접 처리한 비소에 의하여 stress protein합성이 촉진되며, 간 cytosol에 존재하는 비소결합물질은 glutathione으로 추정되고, 비소와 복합체를 형성함으로써 비소의 세포독성에 대한 방어기능을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다.

  • 목 적 : 폐포상피세포의 LPS 전처치 여부에 따라 HSP70 유도가 추가 LPS 자극에 의한 IL-6 생성능 및 세포생존도에 미치는 영향과 그 기전에 HSP70이 관여하는 지를 관찰하였다. 방 법 : 쥐의 폐포상피세포를 배양하여 LPS 전처치군과 비처치군으로 분류한 후, 각 군을 다시 대조군, quercetin 단독투여군, HSP70 유도군, HSP70 억제군으로 나누어 추가 LPS자극 후에 HSP70 발현, IL-6 생성능 및 세포생존도를 관찰하였다. HSP70 유도에는 sodium arsenite(SA)를, HSP70 억제에는 quercetin을 사용하였으며, HSP70 발현은 western blot으로, IL-6 생성능은 ELISA로 측정하였다. 세포생존도는 단순화한 MTT 측정법으로 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 세포 생존도에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 충분한 HSP70 발현을 유도하는 SA 농도는 $50{\mu}M$, HSP70 발현을 억제하는 quercetin 농도는 $100{\mu}M$이었다. LPS 전치치 여부에 상관없이 HSP70 유도군은 대조군에 비해 추가 LPS자극에 의한 IL-6 생성능이 현저히 감소하였으며, HSP70 억제군은 HSP70 유도군에 비해 추가 LPS자극에 의한 IL-6 생성능이 유의하게 다시 증가하였다. 세포생존도는 LPS 비처치군에서는 각 실험군이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였지만, LPS 전처치군에서는 각 군 간에 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 이와 같은 결과는 쥐폐포상피세포에서 LPS 전처치 후에 HSP70 유도를 하면 세포생존도에는 영향을 미치지 않으면서 추가 LPS 자극에 따른 IL-6 생성능이 억제되며, 이러한 현상이 나타나는 기전에는 HSP70 자체가 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사한다.

  • The objectives of this study were to understand the possible mechanism of duck sperm toxicity induced by arsenic exposure in vivo, and to investigate the roles of the antioxidant L-ascorbic acid in ameliorating the arsenic-induced sperm impairment. To test the acute toxicity, the percentages of mortality of mature drakes treated with different concentrations of trivalent sodium arsenite, As (III), and pentavalent sodium arsenate, As (V) were measured. The LD50 value of As (III) for mature drakes was $4.89{\pm}1.49$ ppm. Although As (V) didn't cause any deaths even at a concentration of 40 ppm, the chronic toxicity of As (V) on sperm quality was shown by a decreased fertilization rate. When the concentrations of As (V) were above 0.4 ppm, fertilization rates were lower than those of 0.04 ppm and control. Drakes treated with 40 ppm of As (V) had the highest malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the testis tissue, $3.100{\pm}0.218{\mu}mole/g$ testis. This showed that 40 ppm of As (V) significantly induced lipid peroxidation in testis tissue. For the 1.2 ppm As (III) treatment, several significant effects were observed: (1) sperm motility was decreased most dramatically by $52.0{\pm}9.1$% after three days of incubation; (2) fertilization rate of artificially inseminated semen was the lowest, $26.4{\pm}15.4$; (3) the MDA concentration in testis tissue, $7.846{\pm}0.246{\mu}mole/g$ testis, was significantly higher than the others (p<0.05); (4) the sperm number, $1.17{\pm}0.40({\times}10^9)$, was significantly lower than with the 60 ppb and control treatments (p<0.05); (5) a black appearance and soft texture was observed in the testis tissue. The antioxidant L-ascorbic acid administered along with 1.2 ppm As (III) decreased the toxicity of arsenic. The ameliorating effects included: improved sperm motility, increased sperm number and fertilization rate, and decreased MDA concentration in the testis tissue. This study suggests that the toxicity of the trivalent arsenic on sperm quality is partly from free radicals generated by its metabolic pathway, and the antioxidant ascorbic acid ameliorates arsenic-caused sperm impairment.

  • 생쥐에서 카드뮴이나 비소의 전처리에 의하여 카드뮴과 비소의 치사독성이 완화되는 효과가 카드뮴과 비소를 교차 전처리 한 경우에도 이 같은 효과가 나타나는지를 조사하였다 치사량의 비소를 주사하기 전에 치사량 이하의 비소를 생쥐에 주사하면 치사량의 비소에 의한 치사작용이 완화되는 효과가 나타나며 카드뮴 전처리에 의해서도 카드뮴의 치사독성은 완화되었다. 두 경우에서 생존한 개체의 간조직의 glutathione함량은 대조군과 별 차이가 없었으나 치사한 개체는 그 함량이 상당량 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 카드뮴이나 비소의 전처리에 의하여 카드뮴과 비소의 치사독성이 완화되는 효과가 간조직의 glutathione 함량과 관련이 있음을 제시한다. 치사량의 카드뮴을 주사하기 24시간 전에 치사량 이하의 비소를 전처리한 경우에 카드뮴의 치사독성은 완화되지 않았으나 치사량의 비소를 주사하기 24시간 전에 카드뮴을 전처리한 경우에 비소의 치사독성은 완화되었다. 이상과 같은 실험결과는 간조직의 glutathione 함량이 카드뮴이나 비소의 치사독성 완화효과에 직접적인 관련성은 있는 것이 아니라, 카드뮴 전처리에 의하여 유도된 어떤 다른 인자들이 후속 주사하는 치사량의 카드뮴에 의한 치사독성을 완화하고, 이 인자들 중에는 비소의 치사독성도 완화할 수 있는 공통의 인자가 존재함을 암시한다.

  • Objectives: This study examined the relative efficacies of a derivative of betulinic acid (dBA) and its poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nano-encapsulated form in A549 lung cancer cells in vivo and in co-mutagen [sodium arsenite (SA) + benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)]-induced lung cancer in mice in vivo. Methods: dBA was loaded with PLGA nanoparticles by using the standard solvent displacement method. The sizes and morphologies of nano-dBA (NdBA) were determined by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and their intracellular localization was verified by using confocal microscopy. The binding and interaction of NdBA with calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (CT-DNA) as a target were analyzed by using conventional circular dichroism (CD) and melting temperature (Tm) profile data. Apoptotic signalling cascades in vitro and in vivo were studied by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the ability of NdBA to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was also examined. The stage of cell cycle arrest was confirmed by using a fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS) data analysis. Results: The average size of the nanoparticles was ~ 110 nm. Confocal microscopy images confirmed the presence of NdBA in the cellular cytoplasm. The bio-physical properties of dBA and NdBA ascertained from the CD and the Tm profiles revealed that NdBA had greater interaction with the target DNA than dBA did. Both dBA and NdBA arrested cell proliferation at G0/G1, NdBA showing the greater effect. NdBA also induced a greater degree of cytotoxicity in A549 cells, but it had an insignificant cytotoxic effect in normal L6 cells. The results of flow cytometric, cytogenetial and histopathological studies in mice revealed that NdBA caused less nuclear condensation and DNA damage than dBA did. TEM images showed the presence of NdBA in brain samples of NdBA fed mice, indicating its ability to cross the BBB. Conclusion: Thus, compared to dBA, NdBA appears to have greater chemoprotective potential against lung cancer.
