The present study was undetertaken to demonstrate whether or not angiotensin II activates a phopholipase D in rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. By measuring the formation of [$^3H$] phosphatidic acid and [$^3H$]diacylglycerol. This result suggests that some phosphatidic acid seems to be formed directly from phosphatidylcholin by the action of phopholipase D, not from the action of diacylglycerol kinase on the diacylglycerol. In addition the other mechanisms by which phospholipase D is activated was examined. We have found that phospholipase D was activited by extracellular calium ion. It has also been shown that angiotensin II may activate phosphoilpase D through protein kinase C-independent pathway.

Amentoflavone, naturally occurring biflavonoid, isolated from the leaves of Ginko biloba, selectively inhibited human seceretory phospholipase $A_2$. This compound potently and irreversibly inhibited human group IIA in a dose dependent manner with an $IC_50$ about $3\;{\mu}M$. Amentoflavone inhibited phospholipase $A_2$ by a noncompetitive manner with the apparent Ki value of $1{\times}10^{-5}M$. In addition, the inhibitory activity of amentoflavone is rather specific against group IIA phospholipase $A_2$ than group IB phospholipase $A_2$. Furthermore, this compound strong inhibit histamine release from $A_{23187}$ treated rat peritoneal mast cells. These results indicate naturally occurring biflavonoid represents a novel anti-inflammatory agent.

동물, 곤충, 해조류 등으로 부터 얻어진 독소는 해로운 것으로 알려져 있지만 의학적으로 유용한 화합물을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 점에 착안하여 독사, 또는 곤충의 독 30여종을 대상으로 위암 세포인 SNU-1에 대해서 MTT assay에 의한 세포 독성 시험을 실시하였다. 이 중 세포 독성 활성이 가장 놓은 코브라 계통인 Ophiphagus hannah의 독으로 부터 세포 독성 물질의 정제를 시도하였다. HPLC-GPC와 HPLC-lEX 또는 RP-HPLC를 이용하여 정제하였고 각 분획들을 암세포주에 대해서 시험하였다. TSK-2000SW로 부터 2개의 분획을 얻어 분획 I에서 $IC_{50}$/ 의 값이 0.5 - 3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 범위 내에서 확인되었다. 분자량이 작은 분획 II에서는 세포독성이 작게 나타났지만 농축하여 성분 분석을 시도하였다. 분획 I을 RP-HPLC를 이용하여 TFA와 acetonitrile의 linear gradient에 의해 더욱 분리를 하였고, phopholipase $A_2$ 활성의 가능성도 측정하였다. 분획 II는 Mono S 칼람을 이용하여 ammonium acetate농도에 따른 pH gradient에 의한 분리를 시도하여 순도를 SDS-PAGE에 의해서 확인하였다. 각각의 크로마토그리피로 부터 얻은 분획에 대해서 세포 독성을 실시중에 있으며 성질도 동정중에 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate phospholipase $A_{2}$ activity and lipid peroxidation I streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighting-Dawley male rats weighting 300$\pm$10gm were randomly assigned to normal and STZ-induced diabetic group. Diabetes was induced by intravenous injection of 55mg/kg of STZ in sodium citrate buffer(pH 4.3). Animals were sacrificed at the 6th day of diabetic states. Body weight gains were lower in DM group. Phosphatidylcholine hydrolysis in liver was not significantly different between two groups, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine hydrolysis in liver was increased by 69% in DM group comparing with that of normal group. Liver microsomal phospholipase $A_{2}$ activity and level of TBARS was increased by 91%, 109% in DM group compared with that of normal group, respectively. The present results indicate that phospholipase $A_{2}$ activity is specific to PE hydrolysis, leading to lipid peroxidation process in STZ induced diabetic rats.

Secretion of surfactant phospholipid can be stimulated by a variety of agonists acting via at least three different signal transduction mechanisms. These include the adenylate cyclase system with activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase; activation of protein kinase C either directly or subsequent to activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and generation of diacylglycerols and inositol trisphosphate; and a third mechanism that involves incresed $Ca^{2+}$ levels and a calmodulin-dependent step. ATP stimulates secretion via all three mechanisms. The protein kinase C pathway is also coupled to phopholipase D which, acting on relatively abundant cellular phospholipids, generates diacylglycerols that further activate protein kinase C. Sustained protein kinase C activation can maintain phosphatidylcholine secretion for a prolonged period of time. It is likely that interactions between the different signaling pathways have an important role in the overall physiological regulation of surfactant secretion.

This study investigated whether a correlation exists between proteinase activity, phospholipase activity and adherence of Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells by using of various strains isolated from oral cavity. The proteinase activity of 30 strains was tested by culture on agar media that contained bovine serum albumin as a nitrogen source. Using the serum-protein-agar method to test proterolysis of serum albumin in 20 strains of Candida albicans. Twenty-six strains of Candida albicans were phospholipase producers and the degree of phopholipase activity of experimental strains were $0.51{\sim}0.89$ measured by Pz-value. Twenty-eight strains of Candida albicans were adhersive to buccal epithelial cells and 15 strains were foung significantly active adherence. Fifteen strains of Candida albicans were correlated with proteinase activity and adherence to epithelial cells and concomitantly 20 strains of Candida albicans were also correlated with phospholipase activity and adherence. In conclusion our investigation provides evidence of a correlation between quantitative proteinase, phospholipase and adherence. An association of these parameters may be an important contributory factor for pathogenicity.

It is well known that bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates the prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in various experimental system, but the mechanism and the detailed nature of its action are yet to be understood. Thus, this study was designed to characterize LPS induced PG synthesis in rat alveolar macrophage. Although results were not so much prominent, LPS stimulated PGE2 synthesis in macrophage with short term exposure, and this was thought to be mainly due to the activation of phopholipase A2+ But there was a burst in the PG synthesis 6 hours after the LPS treatment and this was accompanied with the increase of cyclooxygenase activity. This effect was not mediated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or platelet activating factor (PAF), and the existence of serum was prerequisite for its action. Growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) themselves did not stimulate PG synthesis and the showed stimulatory activities to some extent. Normal rat serum was more effective for the elicitation of the LPS action than growth factors. Thus, considering the amounts of growth fafctors contained in normal serum, it was suggested that another factors like LPS binding protein (LBP) might be involved in the serum effect on LPS action. Conclusively. it was thought that LPS could stimulate PG synthesis through interaction with serum factors such as EGF, PDGF and/or LBP.

쥐의 미크로좀 포스포리파제 D(PLD)를 센 이온세기 상태에서 0.2% taurodeoxycholate를 사용하여 용해시켰다. 포스포리파제 D의 활성은 기질로 방사성 동위원소로 표지 된 dipalmitoylphophatidylcholine을 사용하여 생성된 phosphatidic acid(PA)를 측정하여 결정하였다. 용해된 PLD의 초적 pH와 온도는 각각 6.5와 30$^{\circ}C$로서 용해되기 전 미크로좀 상태의 PLD와 비슷하였다. 올레산의 활성화 효과는 4 mM 농도에서 관찰되었다. PLD 활성도에 미치는 금속이온 영향을 조사한 결과 $Mg^{2+},\; Ca^{2+},\; Sr^{2+}, \;Ba^{2+}$와 같은 알칼리 토금속은 모두 PA 생성을 촉진시킨 반면, $Cu^{2+},\; Cd^{2+},\; Al^{3+},\; Ni^{2+},\; V^{5+}$는 억제하였다.

To investigate the regulatory mechanism underlying the contractile response in the intestinal smooth muscle of the nile tilapia (Orechromis niloticus), we used pharmacologic and molecular approaches to identify the muscarinic subreceptors and the intracellular signaling pathways involved in this motility. Myography assays revealed that an M1- and M3-subtype selective antagonist, but not a M2-subtype selective antagonist, inhibited carbachol HCl (CCH)-induced intestinal smooth muscle contraction. In addition, a phospholipase C inhibitor, but not an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, blocked the contractile response to CCH. We also cloned five muscarinic genes (OnM2A, OnM2B, OnM3, OnM5A, and OnM5B) from the nile tilapia. In the phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparison to compare our putative gene products (OnMs) with the sequences obtained from the near complete teleost genomes, we unexpectedly found that the teleost fish have respectively two paralogous genes corresponding to each muscarinic subreceptor, and other teleost fish, except zebrafish, do not possess muscarinic subreceptor M1. In addition, the expression pattern of the nile tilapia muscarinic subreceptor transcripts during CCH-induced intestinal smooth muscle contraction in the proximal intestinal tissue was analyzed by real-time PCR surveys and it was demonstrated that CCH increased the OnMs mRNA expression rapidly and transiently.
