  • The role of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in honey as antifungal activity has received little attention and their mechanism of inhibitory of fungi is not fully understood. In this study, LAB were isolated from honey samples from Malaysia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. Twenty-five isolates were confirmed LAB by catalase test and Gram staining, and were screened for antifungal activity. Four LAB showed inhibitory activity against Candida spp. using the dual agar overlay method. And they were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum HS isolated from Al-Seder honey, Lactobacillus curvatus HH isolated from Al-Hanon honey, Pediococcus acidilactici HC isolated from Tualang honey and Pediococcus pentosaceus HM isolated from Al-Maray honey by the 16S rDNA sequence. The growth of Candida glabrata ATCC 2001 was strongly inhibited (>15.0 mm) and (10~15 mm) by the isolates of L. curvatus HH and P. pentosaceus HM, respectively. The antifungal activity of the crude supernatant (cell free supernatant, CFS) was evaluated using well diffusion method. The CFS showed high antifungal activity against Candida spp. especially The CFS of L. curvatus HH was significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited growth of C. glabrata ATCC 2001, C. parapsilosis ATCC 2201, and C. tropicalis ATCC 750 with inhibitory zone 22.0, 15.6, and 14.7 mm, respectively. While CFS of P. pentosaceus HM was significantly (p < 0.05) effective against C. krusei, C. glabrata, and C. albicans with inhibition zone 17.2, 16.0, and 13.3 mm, respectively. The results indicated that LAB isolated from honey produced compounds which can be used to inhibit the growth of the pathogenic Candida species.

  • 진균독소의 한 종류인 ochratoxin A (OTA)는 저장 곡물에 흔한 오염물질로 주로 Aspergillus에 의해 생성되어 인간과 가축의 건강을 위협한다. 이 연구의 목적은 분리 세균Bacillus subtilis AF13과 Streptomyces shenzhenensis YR226의 OTA 제거능을 조사하는 것이다. NB 배지에서 AF13과 YR226은 $100{\mu}g/L$ OTA를 24시간 동안 각각 94.23과 97.73% 제거하였다. 두 균주 배양액의 원심분리 후 분리된 세척 세포와 무세포 상등액의 OTA 제거능을 측정하였는데 두 균주의 상등액 모두 $100{\mu}g/L$ OTA를 수 초 내에 90% 이상 제거하였으며, YR226의 세척 세포도 OTA를 24시간에 98.88% 제거하였다. 배양 상등액의 고압멸균, proteinase K와 chymotrypsin 처리 시 그 OTA 제거능은 영향을 받지 않았으며 이는 두 균주들에 의해 분비된 열-안정성을 가진 비-단백질성 물질이 OTA 제거에 관련된 것을 추정할 수 있다. 이 결과는 AF13과 YR226 균주가 OTA로 오염된 곡물과 사료에서 OTA를 제거하는데 사용될 수 있으며 따라서 농업과 사료 산업에서 경제적 피해를 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다.

  • Previously, we demonstrated overexpression of semaphorin4D (SEMA4D, CD100) to be closely related to tumor angiogenesis in epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). However, the function and expression of SEMA4D in the EOC microenvironment has yet to be clarified in detail. In this study, we confirmed that overexpression of SEMA4D in primary tumors and ascites was related to low differentiation, platinum resistance and a refractory status (P<0.05), while high M2 macrophage count and percentage were evident in EOC patients with advanced FIGO stage and platinum resistance (P<0.05), using immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), respectively. The data showed correlations of SEMA4D expression and M2 macrophage counts in primary tumors and M2 macrophage percentage in ascites (r=0.281 and 0.355, each P<0.05). In the Cox proportional hazard mode, SEMA4D expression was an independent indicator of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for EOC patients. Furthermore, higher expression of SEMA4D in ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV3, A2780, and SW626) and their supernatants were found than that in a human primary cultured ovarian cell and its supernatant by reversed transcript PCR (RT-PCR), Western blotting and ELISA, respectively. Interestingly, peripheral blood monocytes (MOs) tended towards the M2-polarized macrophage phenotype ($CD163^{high}$) in vitro after human recombined soluble SEMA4D protein stimulation. These findings suggest that SEMA4D might possibly serve as a reliable tool for early and accurate prediction of EOC poor prognosis and could playan important role in promoting tumor dissemination and metastasis in the EOC microenvironment. Thus SEMA4D and its role in macrophage polarization in EOC warrants further study.

  • The probiotic characteristics of a total of 137 lactic acid bacterial strains isolated from soybean paste were investigated. Among those tested, the D37 strain was selected as a probiotic bacteria due to its acid and bile tolerance, and its strong anti-cancer and antibacterial activities. The D37 strain showed highly stable viability at acidic pH for 2 hr, and was very stable in 10% bovine bile. The viability of human colon cancer HT-29 cells was inhibited more than 60% at a $200\;{\mu}/mL$ concentration of D37 cell-free culture supernatant, and the degree of inhibition was concentration-dependent. The D37 strain showed a wide range of antibacterial activities against food-borne pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli O157, Listeria spp., Vibrio spp., Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus. According to phenotypic characteristics and the utilization of various sugars, the D37 strain was identified as Lactobacillus cellobiosus.

  • Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) is the main pathogen causing severe inflammatory diseases and colorectal cancer. Its biofilm plays a key role in the development of colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the antagonistic effects of cell-free supernatants (CFS) derived from Clostridium butyricum against the growth and biofilm of ETBF. Our data showed that C. butyricum CFS inhibited the growth of B. fragilis in planktonic culture. In addition, C. butyricum CFS exhibited an antibiofilm effect by inhibiting biofilm development, disassembling preformed biofilms and reducing the metabolic activity of cells in biofilms. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy, we found that C. butyricum CFS significantly suppressed the proteins and extracellular nucleic acids among the basic biofilm components. Furthermore, C. butyricum CFS significantly downregulated the expression of virulence- and efflux pump-related genes including ompA and bmeB3 in B. fragilis. Our findings suggest that C. butyricum can be used as biotherapeutic agent by inhibiting the growth and biofilm of ETBF.

  • The selective plugging strategy of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) involves the use of microbes that grow and produce exopolymeric substances, which block the high permeability zones of an oil reservoir, thus allowing the water to flow through the low permeability zones leading to increase in oil recovery. Bacillus licheniformis TT33, a hot water spring isolate, is facultatively anaerobic, halotolerant, and thermotolerant. It produces EPS as well as biosurfactant and has a biofilm-forming ability. The viscosity of its cell-free supernatant is $120\;mPa{\cdot}s$ at $28^{\circ}C$. Its purified EPS contained 26% carbohydrate and 3% protein. Its biosurfactant reduced the surface tension of water from 72 to 34 mN/m. This strain gave $27.7{\pm}3.5%$ oil recovery in a sand pack column. Environmental scanning electron microscopy analysis showed bacterial growth and biofilm formation in the sand pack. Biochemical tests and Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis confirmed that the oil recovery obtained in the sand pack column was due to Bacillus licheniformis TT33.

  • The maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion protein system is a versatile tool to express and isolate recombinant proteins in E. coli. In this system, MBP fusion proteins are efficiently isolated from whole cell lysate using amylose conjugated agarose beads and then eluted by competition with free maltose. Since MBP is a rather large molecule (∼42 kDa), for further experiments, the MBP part is usually proteolytically cleaved from the fusion protein and subsequently removed by ion-exchange chromatography or rebinding to amylose columns after washing out excess and MBP-bound maltose. In the present study, we have developed an improved method for the removal of cleaved MBP, which is advantageous over conventional methods. In this method, factor Xa cleaved MBP fusion proteins were incubated with Sepharose beads conjugated with MBP specific monoclonal antibodies and then precipitated buy centrifugation, resulting in highly purified proteins in the supernatant.

  • 연구배경: 폐포-모세혈관 투과성의 증가에 의한 폐부종을 특징으로하는 성인성 호홉곤란증후군(ARDS)의 발병기전은 아직 명확히 밝혀져 있지 않다. 폐포-모세혈관 투과성의 증가는 폐 혈관 내피세포의 손상에 의한 것으로 알려져 있어 폐포-모세혈관 투과성 증가의 기전을 이해하기 위해서는 폐혈관 내피세포 손상의 기전을 규명하는 것이 필요하다. 혈관 내피세포 손상은 주로 활성화된 호중구에서 분비된 염증매개성 물질에 의한다고 생각되고 있다. 그러나 최근 들어 내피세포 손상에서 호중구와 무관한 새로운 기전의 존재를 시사하는 결과들이 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 호중구나 활성화된 보체의 도움없이 내독소만에 의해 혈관 내피세포의 손상이 발생하는 지, 내독소에 의해 혈관 내피세포에서 산소기가 유리되는 지를 관찰하고, 이것이 혈관 내피세포의 손상에 관여하는지를 규명하고자 하였다. 방법: 내독소가 호중구의 도움없이 혈관 내피세포에 손상을 가져오는지를 관찰하기 위해 내독소 투여후 세포독성지표를 측정하였다. 이때 산소기가 관여하는지를 평가하기 위해 여러 항산화제로 전처치한 후 내독소에 의한 세포독성을 측정하였다. 다음 단계로 내독소에 의한 혈관 내피세포에서의 산소기 분비 유무를 관찰하고자 내독소 처치후 배양액내의 과산화수소 농도를 측정하였다. 마지막으로 과산화수소의 세포독성 유무를 관찰하고자 과산화수소 처치후 세포독성검사를 시행하였다. 모든 실험에서 일차 배양한 HUVE의 제4세대 계대배양 세포를 사용하였고 세포독성검사는 51Cr유리법을 사용하였다. 결과: 1) 내독소 단독 처치시 혈관 내피세포의 손상이 관찰되었는데, 이는 용량-반응관계를 보였다. 2) 내독소에 의한 혈관 내피세포의 손상은 catalase와 DMTU에 의하여 각각 유의하게 억제되었다. 3) 내독소에 의해 혈관 내피세포로 부터 과산화수소가 용량-반응관계를 보이면서 분비되었다. 4) 과산화수소는 혈관 내피세포독성을 보이고 이는 catalase와 DMTU 전처치로 완화되었다. 결론: 내독소는 단독으로 혈관 내피세포독성을 보이며 이때 혈관 내피세포에서 분비된 산소기가 세포독성에 관여할 것으로 생각된다.
