  • The primary metabolism of pyribenzoxim was studied in rat liver microsomes in order to identify the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform(s) and esterases involved in the metabolism of pyribenzoxim. Chemical inhibition using CYP isoform-selective inhibitors such as ${\alpha}$-naphthoflavone, tolbutamide, quinine, chlorzoxazone, troleandomycin, and undecynoic acid indicated that CYP1A and CYP2D are responsible for the oxidative metabolism of pyribenzoxim. And inhibitory studies using eserine, bis-nitrophenol phosphate, dibucaine, and mercuric chloride indicated pyribenzoxim hydrolysis involved in microsomal carboxylesterases containing an SH group (cysteine) at the active center.

  • Aminoalcoholphosphotransferase catalyzes the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine from diacylglycerol plus a CDP-aminoalcohol such as CDP-choline or CDP-ethanolamine. Previously we suggested the presence of possible isoforms of this enzyme from Chinese cabbage roots and now report the cDNA cloning and expression analysis of AAPT3 encoding a third isoform of aminoalcoholphosphotransferase (AAPT3). AAPT3 contains an open reading frame of 1,176 bp coding for a protein of 392 amino acids. It shares 96 and 95% identity with Chinese cabbage AAPT1 and AAPT2, respectively, at the deduced amino acid level. The results from reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicate that expression of AAPT3 is up-regulated by low temperature as well as AAPT1 and AAPT2.

  • Receptor activator of NF-${\kappa}B$ ligand (RANKL) triggers the differentiation of bone marrow-derived monocyte/macrophage precursor cells (BMMs) of hematopoietic origin into osteoclasts through the activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and transcription factors. Recently, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzymes were shown to be closely associated with RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation. Although glutaredoxin2 (Glrx2) plays a role in cellular redox homeostasis, its role in RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis is unclear. We found that Glrx2 isoform b (Glrx2b) expression is induced during RANKLmediated osteoclastogenesis. Over-expression of Glrx2b strongly enhanced RANKL- mediated osteoclastogenesis. In addition, Glrx2b-transduced BMMs enhanced the expression of key transcription factors c-Fos and NFATc1, but pre-treatment with SB203580, a p38-specific inhibitor, completely blocked this enhancement. Conversely, down-regulation of Glrx2b decreased RANKL- mediated osteoclastogenesis and the expression of c-Fos and NFATc1 proteins. Also, Glrx2b down-regulation attenuated the RANKL-induced activation of p38. Taken together, these results suggest that Glrx2b enhances RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via p38 activation.

  • 본 연구는 생후 발달 과정 동안 monocarboxylate transporter(MCT) isoform과 MCT의 발현 조절 단백질로 알려진 basigin(Bsg)과 embigin의 mRNA 발현을 흰쥐의 부정소에서 부위별로 real-time PCR 방법을 사용하여 알아보았으며, 에스트로젠과 에스트로젠 수용체 α의 작용에 의해 MCT1 발현이 조절되는지를 알아보기 위해 estrogen receptor α knockout(αERKO) 마우스를 이용하여 immunohistochemistry 방법을 통해 탐구하였다. 본 연구 결과는 다양한 MCT isoform(MCT1, 2, 3, 4와 8), Bsg과 embigin의 mRNA 발현이 부정소의 부위별로 연령에 따라 다르게 나타나며, 부정소에서 MCT1 단백질 발현은 corpus와 caudal 부위에서 apical 지역에 한정되어 나타나는 것을 보여 주었다. 또한 부정소에서 MCT1 단백질 발현은 에스트로젠 수용체 α의 존재 여부와 상관 없음이 보여졌다. 따라서, 본 연구는 MCT가 남성 생식기관인 부정소에서 정자 성숙과 저장을 위한 적절한 환경을 형성함으로써 남성 생식력의 유지에 관여 할 수 있음을 시사한다.
