Chromosome rearrangements induced in human lymphocyte after in vitro exposure to chromium were analysed by the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) with triple combination of composite whole chromosome-specific probe for chromosome 1, 2 and 4. Chromosome aberrations was scored by the Protocol for Aberration Identification and Nomenclature Terminology (PAINT). Stable translocation was the most frequent type of aberrations and dicentrics and insertions were also observed. Chromium treatment enhanced the frequencies of stable translocations and color junctions in a dose-dependent manners, but no distinct increase of dicentrics and insertions was seen. The ratio of the yields of translocation to the yields of dicentric varied between 13 to 27. The presents results demonstrate fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is useful for detecting chromosomal rearrangements induced by chromium.

Chromosome rearrangement induced by bleomycin were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probe for chromosome 4. The frequency of color junctions, translocations, dicentric and acenttic fragments increased with bleomycin dose. Different types of balanced translocation and dicentric were scored and compared. The frequency of cells exhibiting multiple aberration was higher compared to that of cells exposed to Gamma radiation suggesting that effect of bleomycin might be similar to that of high LET radiation.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the DNA probe for human chromosome 4 was used to analyse in vitro radiation induced chromosome rearrangement in peripheral lymphocyte. Translocations, dicentrics, acentrics and color junctions involving the painted chromosome were scored according to the Protocol for Aberration Identification and Nomenclature Terminology (PAINT) system. The frequency of chromosome rearrangements including reciprocal translocation, dicentric, acentric fragment and color junction increased with radiation dose. The frequency of dicentric chromosome reduced by the fixation time following irradiation, whereas that of translocation was relatively persistent. The applicability of FISH for scoring stable translocation for biological dosimetry was demonstrated.

Benzene is a widespread human carcinogen, inducing leukemia and hematotoxicity. Exposure to benzene metabolites has been shown to cause genetic damage, including aneusomy and chromosome aberrations. Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) procedure was used to determine if the benzene metabolite, 1, 2, 4-benzenetriol(BT), hydroquinone(HQ) and trans, trans-muconic acid(t,t-MA) induced specific chromosomal change in HL-60 cells. Treatment with BT, HQ and t,t-MA resulted in the induction of monosomy 8 and 21 in HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. All of these metabolites also induced trisomy 8 and 21, but no correlation between frequencies of trisomy and concentration was found. Translocations between chromosome 8 and another unidentified chromosome ［t(8:\ulcorner)］, and between chromosome 21 and another unidentified chromosome ［t(8:21)］ were found. However, translocation between chromosome 8 and 21 ［t(8:21)］ was not found. Results indicate that the benzene metabolites, BT, HQ and t,t-MA, induce chromosome specific numerical and structural aberrations, and the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) approach may be a useful and powerful technique for detection of aneuploidy.

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH)를 통해 상처에 의해 발현이 유도되는 cDNA들을 분리하였고, 그 중 하나인 gmwi33은 $\beta$-amyrin synthase 유전자들과 높은 유사성을 보였다. gmwi33의 전장 cDNA인 GmAMS1은 2416 bp 길이에 739개 아미노산으로 구성된 긴 open reading frame(ORF)를 포함하고 있었다. GmAMS1 단백질은 감초의 $\beta$-amyrin synthase인 GgbAS와 89%, 완두의 OSCPSY와 86%의 유사성을 보였다. 암조건 하에 5일간 기른 콩나물에서, GmAMS1는 빛을 쪼여주었을 때 가장 강하게 발현되었고 methyl jasmonate 처리와 저온처리 시에도 발현이 유도된 반면, UV-B나 elicitor를 처리하였을 때는 발현이 유도되지 않았다. 이러한 GmAMS1의 발현양상은 사포닌의 활성산소 제거기능과 밀접한 연관이 있을 것으로 추측된다.

목적 : K562 세포를 대상으로 PTK inhibitor (herbimycinA와 genistein)에 의한 방사선 유도 apoptosis의 변화에 따른 관련 유전자를 탐색하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : K562 세포는 $2\times10^5\;cells/mL$의 비율로 준비하여 대수증식기로 성장한 세포를 각각의 실험조건에 따라 처리하여 사용하였다. 방사선 조사는 6-MV X-Ray 10 Gy (Clinac 1800C, Varian, USA)를 $200\~300\;cGy/min$의 선량율로 상온에서 일정하게 조사하였다. Herbimycin A (HMA, Calbiochem, UK)와 genistein (Calbiochem, UK)은 dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma, UK)에 녹여서 각각 1 mM과 10 mM의 농축용액으로 조제한 각각 250 nM과 $25\;{\mu}M$의 최종농도로 처리하였다. 내성 변화의 조절에 관여하는 유전자를 찾고자 PCR-select cDNA subtractive hybridization을 실시하여 128개의 차별 발현되는 clones을 재선별하였다. DNA sequencing을 통하여 염기서열을 분석하였으며, GenBank database를 이용하여 이미 밝혀진 유전자들과의 상동성을 비교하였다. 상동성을 갖는 clone을 확인하여 이를 probe로 사용하여 방사선 단독조사한 실험군과 방사선과 HMA 또는 genistein을 동시 처리한 실험군들간의 mRNA 발현의 차이를 Northern hybridization을 통하여 확인하였다. 결과 : homo sapiens Smad6 유전자와 $95\%$의 상동성을 갖는 clone을 확인하였다. 이를 probe로 사용하여 방사선 단독 조사한 실험군과 방사선과 HMA 또는 genistein을 동시 처리한 실험군들간의 mRNA 발현의 차이를 비교 분석한 결과, 방사선과 genistein을 동시 처리한 실험군의 mRNA 발현이 방사선 단독 조사한 실험군과 방사선과 HMA를 처리한 실험군들에 비하여 현저히 높았다. 결론 : Smad6와 방사선에 의해 유도되는 apoptosis의 억제에 관한 연관성을 보고한 문헌은 없으나, Smad6가 일부세포에서 apoptosis를 억제한다는 보고들과, 본 연구에서 관찰한 genistein에 의한 방사선에 의해 유도되는 apoptosis의 억제에서 그 발현이 두드러지게 증가한 점 등을 미루어 보아 방사선에 의하여 유도된 apoptosis의 억제 및 방사선 내성의 조절에도 관여할 것으로 생각된다.

Cocaine induces immediate early gene expression and behavioral changes by blocking dopamine transporters in the terminals of nigrostriatal neurons in the striatum. The pharmacological role of serotonin 2/1C (5HT2/1C) receptors in cocaine-induced expression of zif268 (NGFI-A, egr1 and Krox-24) mRNA, a member of the zinc finger, was investigated using quantitative in situ hybridization histochemistry in vivo. Behavioral alterations induced by cocaine were also monitored in relation with blockade of the receptors. Systemic injection of ritanserin (1 mg/kg, s.c.), a 5HT2/1C receptor antagonist, did not reverse behavioral alterations and zif268 mRNA gene expression induced by 15 mg/kg cocaine, i.p., in the dorsal and ventral striatum. These data indicate that ritanserin-sensitive 5HT2/1C receptors are not necessary for cocaine-induced behavioral alterations and zif268 mRNA gene expression in the striatum.

Cocaine functions as indirect dopamine and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) agonists and induces genomic and behavioral alterations in the striatum. Previously we demonstrated that ritanserin, a 5HT2/1C receptor antagonist, is not responsible for cocaine-induced behavioral alterations and zif268 mRNA gene expression in the striatum (see the previous paper in this issue). In this study, it was hypothesized that dopamine and 5HT2/1C receptors are required for cocaine-induced behavioral alterations and c-fos and zif268 mRNA expression. This hypothesis was addressed by infusing amperozide which antagonizes both 5HT2/1C and dopamine receptors and was analyzed using the quantitative in situ hybridization histochemistry in vivo. Systemic injection of amperozide (5 mg/kg, s.c.) significantly blocked increase in behavior, c-fos and zif268 mRNA expression induced by 15 mg/kg cocaine, i.p., in the dorsal striatum. These data suggest that dopamine and 5HT2/1C receptors are necessary for cocaine-induced behavioral alterations and immediate early gene expression in the dorsal striatum.

The moss Physcomitrella patens has two life cycles, filamentous protonema and leafy gametophore. A modified from of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), mirror orientation selection (MOS), was applied to screen genes differentially expressed in the P. patens protonema. Using reverse Northern blot analysis, differentially expressed clones were identified. The identified genes were involved mainly in metal binding and detoxification. One of these genes was an AP2 (APETALA2) domain-containing protein (PpACP1), which was highly up-regulated in the protonema. Alignment with other AP2/EREBPs (Ethylene Responsive Element Binding Proteins) revealed significant sequence homology of the deduced amino acid sequence in the AP2/EREBP DNA binding domain. Northern analysis under various stress conditions showed that PpACP1 was induced by ethephon, cadmium, copper, ABA, IAA, and cold. In addition, it was highly expressed in suspension-cultured protonema. We suggest that PpACP1 is involved in responses to metals, and that suspension culture enhance the expression of genes responding to metals.
