Two-phase fermentation을 통한 Beauveria bassiana 149균주의 대량 배양을 위한 탄소원, 질소원, 기질 그리고 배양 조건 선발 실험을 실시하였다. 1차 액체 배양을 위한 적정 탄소원으로는 옥수수 분말, 전분 그리고 쌀가루가, 질소원으로는 펩톤과 효모 분발을 첨가한 것에서 포자 생산량이 높았다. 포자 대량 생산을 위한 기질 및 첨가물로는 톱밥+밀기울+옥수수 분말, 톱밥+밀기울, 쌀겨+밀기울 혼합에서 포자 생산량이 높았다. B. bassiana 149 균주의 포자 대량 생산을 위한 고체 배양 결과, 포자 생산량은 $30^{\circ}C$ 배양에서 $20^{\circ}C$보다 2배 정도 높은 경향을 보였다. B. bassiana 149 균주의 포자 생산량은 $25^{\circ}C$, 수분함량 60%와 70%에서 배양 시 $26.9{\times}10^8conidia/g$와 $38.6{\times}10^8conidia/g$로 40%와 50%의 $13.9{\times}10^8conidia/g$와 $11.6{\times}10^8conidia/g$ 보다 상당히 높았다.

Imperatorin, a major bioactive furanocoumarin with multifunctions, can be used for treating neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of imperatorin transport in the brain. Experiments of the present study were designed to study imperatorin transport across the blood-brain barrier both in vivo and in vitro. In vivo study was performed in rats using single intravenous injection and in situ carotid artery perfusion technique. Conditionally immortalized rat brain capillary endothelial cells were as an in vitro model of blood-brain barrier to examine the transport mechanism of imperatorin. Brain distribution volume of imperatorin was about 6 fold greater than that of sucrose, suggesting that the transport of imperatorin was through the blood-brain barrier in physiological state. Both in vivo and in vitro imperatorin transport studies demonstrated that imperatorin could be transported in a concentration-dependent manner with high affinity. Imperatorin uptake was dependent on proton gradient in an opposite direction. It was significantly reduced by pretreatment with sodium azide. However, its uptake was not inhibited by replacing extracellular sodium with potassium or N-methylglucamine. The uptake of imperatorin was inhibited by various cationic compounds, but not inhibited by TEA, choline and organic anion substances. Transfection of plasma membrane monoamine transporter, organic cation transporter 2 and organic cation/carnitine transporter 2/1 siRNA failed to alter imperatorin transport in brain capillary endothelial cells. Especially, tramadol, clonidine and pyrilamine inhibited the uptake of [$^3H$]imperatorin competitively. Therefore, imperatorin is actively transported from blood to brain across the blood-brain barrier by passive and carrier-mediated transporter.

In the rabbit renal artery, mechanisms of contraction by sodium depletion were investigated. The helical strips of isolated renal artery were immersed in the Tris-buffered salt solution. The contractions were recorded isometrically using a strain-gauge transducer. Na-free solution (Na was substituted by Li, choline or sucrose) produced contractions which were dependent on the nature of the Na substitutes. Na-free solution (choline) produced the contraction in ouabain-pretreated artery (Na loaded artery) even in the presence of verapamil. The amplitude of the contraction was dependent on the duration of the pretreatment with ouabain $(10\;^5M)$. Monensin potentiated the effect of ouabain on the contraction. Removal of Ca from bathing solution abolished the contraction and the substitution of Sr for Ca produced the contraction. Divalent cations such as Mg, Mn blocked the depolarization-induced contraction, while they had little effect on the Na-free contraction in Na loaded artery. These results suggest that the contraction induced by Na removal is dependent on the cellular Na content and may be caused by Ca influx via the Na-Ca exchange carrier.

사람의 적혈구막으로부터 Band 3를 분리정제하고 이를 liposome 내로 도입시켜 그 결과를 관찰하였다. 적혈구를 약알칼리 저장액으로 용혈시켜 막을 분리한 후, 저이온강도 용액으로 처리하여 Band 4를 추출하였다. Triton X-100 추출액에 p-chloromercuribenzoate를 가하고 sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation후 fractionation하여 Band 3를 정제하였다. phosphatidyl L-serine과 cholesterol을 1 : 1 molar ratio로 섞고 진공회전 증발기를 사용하여 chloroform을 제거한 후 Triton X-100을 제거한 Band 3용액을 가하고 sonication함으로 liposome(reverse-phase evaporation vesicle)을 만들면서 Band 3를 도입 시켰다 Band 3의 분리정제 및 liposome에 도입되었음은 sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel 전기영 동 후 coomassie brilliant blue 염색으로 확인할 수 있었다.

Streptanthus 조직배양 세포에서 유조직 세포로부터 사부 세포의 발달 동안 설탕 운반자는 유도되었고, 단당류인 포도당의 운반자는 사라졌다 (Cho 1998). Streptanthus 조직배양 세포에서 유도된 사부영역과 사공은 sieve endoplasmic reticulum (SER)과 p-protein 합성이 거의 완성되는 시기에 형성되며, SER이 새로 합성된 세포벽을 에워싼 후에 세포벽이 분해되기 시작하였다. 세포벽의 분해와 사공의 형성은 비교적 규칙적으로 진행되었다. 사공의 모양은 계란형이었고, 사공의 외부크기는 세로 1.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$~l.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 가로 0.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$~l.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 다양하고 사공의 내부크기는 별모양과 유사한 불규칙한 형태였다. 두 사부세포 사이에서 사공의 수는 $\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$당 2개~7개였고, 육상체를 포함한 사공벽에 두께는 0.05 $\mu\textrm{m}$~0.07 $\mu\textrm{m}$,의 두꺼운 벽으로 구성되었다. 사공영역과 사공의 형성에 필요한 에너지는 세포벽 가까이에 위치하고 있는 미토콘드리아에서 얻을 것으로 추측하며, 사공 형성에 대한 SER의 역할은 아직까지 설명할 수 없었다.

Paeonol has neuroprotective function, which could be useful for improving central nervous system disorder. The purpose of this study was to characterize the functional mechanism involved in brain transport of paeonol through blood-brain barrier (BBB). Brain transport of paeonol was characterized by internal carotid artery perfusion (ICAP), carotid artery single injection technique (brain uptake index, BUI) and intravenous (IV) injection technique in vivo. The transport mechanism of paeonol was examined using conditionally immortalized rat brain capillary endothelial cell line (TR-BBB) as an in vitro model of BBB. Brain volume of distribution (VD) of [$^3H$]paeonol in rat brain was about 6-fold higher than that of [$^{14}C$]sucrose, the vascular space marker of BBB. The uptake of [$^3H$]paeonol was concentration-dependent. Brain volume of distribution of paeonol and BUI as in vivo and inhibition of analog as in vitro studies presented significant reduction effect in the presence of unlabeled lipophilic compounds such as paeonol, imperatorin, diphenhydramine, pyrilamine, tramadol and ALC during the uptake of [$^3H$]paeonol. In addition, the uptake significantly decreased and increased at the acidic and alkaline pH in both extracellular and intracellular study, respectively. In the presence of metabolic inhibitor, the uptake reduced significantly but not affected by sodium free or membrane potential disruption. Similarly, paeonol uptake was not affected on OCTN2 or rPMAT siRNA transfection BBB cells. Interestingly. Paeonol is actively transported from the blood to brain across the BBB by a carrier mediated transporter system.
