Interleukin-21 is a common γ-chain cytokine that controls the immune responses of B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells. Targeting IL-21 to strengthen the immune system is promising for the development of vaccines as well as anti-infection and anti-tumor therapies. However, the practical application of IL-21 is limited by the high production cost. In this study, we improved IL-21 production by codon optimization and selection of appropriate signal peptide in CHO-K1 cells. Codon-optimized or non-optimized human IL-21 was stably transfected into CHO-K1 cells. IL-21 expression was 10-fold higher for codon-optimized than non-optimized IL-21. We fused five different signal peptides to codon-optimized mature IL-21 and evaluated their effect on IL-21 production. The best result (a 3-fold increase) was obtained using a signal peptide derived from human azurocidin. Furthermore, codon-optimized IL-21 containing the azurocidin signal peptide promoted IFN-γ secretion and STAT3 phosphorylation in NK-92 cells similar to codon-optimized IL-21 containing original signal peptide. Collectively, these results indicate that codon optimization and azurocidin signal peptides provide an efficient approach for the high-level production of IL-21 as a biopharmaceutical.

인체의 골수는 간엽모세포를 함유하고 있으며 이들은 골수미세환경의 주된 세포들로 분화가 가능하여 조혈기능을 지지한다. 본 연구에서는 성별이 다른 동종조혈모세포이식 환경에서 조혈모세포의 완전 생착을 보이고, 이식 후 1년에서 8년이 지난 11예의 재생불량성 빈혈 및 백혈병 환자들을 대상으로 하여 골수에서 MSC를 분리하고 체외 확장을 통해 배양된 MSC에서 X 염색체 탐식자를 이용한 FISH 및 microsatellite polymorphism PCR 기법으로 그 기원을 확인하였다. 그 결과 조혈모세포는 완전히 공여자 기원으로 대치되었음에도 불구하고 MSC는 모두 수여자 기원임을 알 수 있어, 동종조혈모세포이식에서 미세환경의 구축은 수여자의 자가 생산에 의한 골수 간질세포에 의한 것으로 생각된다. Background: Human bone marrow (BM) contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) that can differentiate into various cells of mesenchymal origin. It remains a matter of controversy whether donor-derived stromal cells are capable of engraftment following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or not. Methods: To determine if donor-derived stromal cells are transferred to the recipients of allogeneic HSCT, we investigated the characterization of MSC in 11 patients 1 to 8 years after sex mis-matched allogeneic HSCT in severe aplastic anemia and leukemia. Results: All patients had complete engraftment with donor- derived stem cells as shown by detection of donor type DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Following culture, MSC showed the expression of SH2 and SH4, but none of the hematopoietic markers of CD14, CD34, or CD45. MSC which can be differentiated to osteogenic lineage showed the genotype of recipient completely using FISH or PCR analysis. Conclusion: This study confirmed that MSC isolated from recipients of allogeneic HSCT in severe aplastic anemia and leukemia are not of donor genotype despite of full hematopoietic engraftment with donor type. Donor cells did not contribute to reconstitute the marrow microenvironment.

Nowadays, remodeling has been understood as a countermeasure to improve indiscriminate construction behavior in the aspect of environment and economy. Remodeling is able to retrench the resources and costs consumed in construction and the wastes from demolition of building. On the other hand, remodeling makes negative impacts from misunderstanding for the concept of remodeling. For reasons mentioned above, this study took the two-pronged approach consisting of the examination of the existing remodeling construction data of office buildings from the five domestic remodeling companies and the survey of the concerned departments and the employees at the architect's offices. The research content mainly included the demand cycle of remodeling, the type and scope of remodeling construction, analysis of construction costs, and problems in construction. Further, the environmental impacts from construction were quantified by Life Cycle Assesment.

Background: Recently, a few studies demonstrated that melatonin reduced the severity of myocardial reperfusion injuries, such as reperfusion arrhythmias. However, it is uncertain whether the melatonin reduces reperfusion arrhythmias in thus anesthetized animals because results were obtained using isolated hearts. Thus, to see whether melatonin reduces reperfusion arrhythmias in anesthetized animals, we examined the effect of melatonin on the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmias in an anesthetized-cat model of regional ischemia. Method: Adult mongrel male cats(n=30, 2.9∼4.2 kg) were anesthetized under positive-pressure artificial ventilation with room air. The animals of the control group(n=15) were subjected to 20-minute left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD) occlusion followed by abrupt reperfusion. The animals in experimental group(n=15) were divided into two. Group I(n=6) was pretreated with melatonin, 1 mg/kg, before occluding the LAD. Group II(n=9) was pretreated with melatonin, 10 mg/kg. The animals in experimental group were subjected to ischemia/reperfusion insult following drug treatment: melatonin was applied intra-peritoneally for 3 minutes just before LAD coronary artery ligation. The Fisher's exact test was used to compare the data from different animal groups. p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The incidence of ventricular fibrillation(VF) during the reperfusion phase in group II(pretreated with melatonin, 10 mg) was significantly smaller than that in the control group(p-value = 0.0029). However, no statistically significant difference of VF incidence was found between group I(pretreated with melatonin, 1 mg) and the control group. Conclusion: Employing an anesthetized-cat model of regional cardiac ischemia, we investigated the dose-dependant effects of melatonin on reperfusion-induced arrhythmia. The cats pretreated with 10 mg/kg of melatonin before ischemia had a significantly reduced incidence of lethal reperfusion-induced arrhythmia, but there was no difference between the cats pretreated with 1 mg/kg of melatonin before ischemia and the control group.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone mineral density of iliac and tibial bone which are frequently selected as autogenic bone graft donor sites, and to evaluate the efficiency of this method as a guideline for the selection of bone graft donor site. Materials and Methods : In this study 61 male and 70 female volunteers at Chungbuk National University Hospital were involved between Jan. 1998 to Sept. 1999. We measured bone mineral density of the iliac and the tibial bone using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. We evaluated the data using the SAS system for Windows and bone mineral density of the lumbar was used for control. Results : Age showed the highest correlation in correlation matrix between physical and bone variables. Height and weight showed lower correlation of linear increment. In man, the change of bone density according to age demonstrated linear decrease irrespective of the lumbar, ilium, and tibia. In woman, the change of bone density according to age showed cubic form, which increased in the third and forth decade. So it had a peak bone mass on about 35 year-old, thereafter, the change of bone density slowly decreased until 50 year-old, but it rapidly decreased after 50 year-old and it slowly decreased again after 65 year-old. Both in all subjects and subject with osteoporosis, the change of bone mineral density according to age showed statistically significant decrease in lumbar and tibia, but ilium was irrespective. Conclusion : In patients of aged or with osteoporosis, ilium demonstrated less tendency of decrease in bone mineral density than tibla. So this preliminary study suggested that ilium seemed better donor site for autogenic bone graft than tibia.

The objectiveness of this study was to evaluate whether low-viscosity composite can bond effectively to dentin surface without bonding resin. The low-viscosity composites being 50wt% filler content were made by the inclusion of bonding resin of two self-etching systems(Clearfil SE Bond, Unifil Bond) varied with contents as 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50wt%. Exposed dentin surfaces of extracted 3rd molars are used. Dentin bond strengths were measured. The tests were carried out with a micro-shear device placed testing machine at a CHS of 1mm/min after a low-viscosity composite was filled into an iris cut from micro tygon tubind with internal diameter approximately 0.8mm and height of 1.0mm. 1. Flexural strength and modulus was increased with the addition of bonding resin. 2. Micro-shear bond strength to dentin was improved according to content of bonding resin irrespective of applying or not bonding resin in bonding procedure, and that of Clearfil SE Bond groups was higher than Unifil Bond. 3. There were no significant difference whether use of each bonding resin in bonding procedure for S-40, S-50, U-50(p>0.05). 4. In SEM examination, resin was well infiltrated into dentin after primed with self-etching primer only for S-50 and U-50 in spite of the formation of thinner hybrid layer. Low viscosity composite including some functional monomer may be used as dentin bonding resin without an intermediary bonding agent. It makes a simplified bonding procedure and foresees the possibility of self-adhesive restorative material.
