Ahn, Da-Hee,Park, Han-Gyu,Song, Won-Suk,Kim, Seong-Min,Jo, Sung-Hyun,Yang, Yung-Hun,Kim, Yun-Gon The Korean Society for Microbiology and Biotechnol 2019 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.47 No.1
Screening microorganisms that can produce glucan hydrolases for industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications is important. Herein, we describe a novel approach to perform glucan hydrolase screening-based on analysis of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) spectra-which involves degradation of the oligo- and polysaccharides. As a proof-of-concept study, glucan hydrolases that could break down glucans made of several glucose units were used to demonstrate the MALDI-MS-based enzyme assay. First, the enzyme activities of ${\alpha}$-amylase and cellulase on a mixture of glucan oligosaccharides were successfully discriminated, where changes of the MALDI-MS profiles directly reflected the glucan hydrolase activities. Next, we validated that this MALDI-MS-based enzyme assay could be applied to glucan polysaccharides (i.e., pullulan, lichenan, and schizophyllan). Finally, the bacterial glucan hydrolase activities were screened on 96-well plate-based platforms, using cell lysates or samples of secreted enzyme. Our results demonstrated that the MALDI-MS-based enzyme assay system would be useful for investigating bacterial glucoside hydrolases in a high-throughput manner.

Uterine expression of tight junctions in the Canine uterus
Changhwan Ahn,Da-Hye Shin,Dongoh Lee,Hee Young Kang,Eui-Bae Jeung 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2015 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.16 No.3
Tight junctions (TJs) form continuous intercellular contacts in intercellular junctions. TJs involve integral proteins such as occludin (OCLN) and claudins (CLDNs) as well as peripheral proteins such as zona occludens-1 (ZO-1) and junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs). TJs control paracellular transportation across cell-to-cell junctions. Although TJs have been studied for several decades, comparison of the transcriptional-translational levels of these molecules in canine organs has not yet been performed. In this study, we examined uterine expression of CLDNs, OCLN, junction adhesion molecule-A, and ZO-1 in canine. Expression levels of canine uterine TJ proteins, including CLDN1, 2, 4, 5, JAM-A, ZO-1, and OCLN, were measured using reverse transcription PCR, real-time PCR, and Western blotting, whereas TJs distribution was determined by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of OCLN, CLDN-1, 4, JAM-1, and ZO-1 were identified in the uterus. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that TJs were localized to the endometrium and/or myometrium of the uterus. Our results show that canine TJ proteins, including CLDNs, OCLN, JAM-A, and ZO-1, were expressed in the canine uterus. Taken together, these proteins may perform unique physiological roles in the uterus. Therefore, these findings may serve as a basis for further studies on TJ proteins and their roles in the physiological or pathological condition of the canine uterus.

Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure is known to cause oxidative damage in the skin. In this study, we investigated the acute effects of UVB exposure on the skin and liver. Lipid peroxide levels, the mRNA level and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were examined in ICR mice which were exposed to a single dose of UVB (3 KJ/㎡). In the exposed skin, lipid peroxides increased at 3 h after the UVB exposure (p<.001) and then the amount gradually decreased in a time dependent manner. In the liver, lipid peroxides peaked at 24 h after the exposure and maintained at that level for up to 3 days (p<.001). The mRNA level and activity of SOD and CAT increased in the exposed skin, but there was no significant change reported in the liver. Our results exhibited that oxidative damage by the exposure of UVB has an effects not only on the exposed skin, but also on liver. The increase of the antioxidant enzymes in response to UVB, might induce the recovery of damaged lesions.

본 연구에서는 ARW의 항염증 및 항통풍 효능을 평가하였다. LPS가 처리된 RAW 264.7 대식 세포에서 독성을 보이지 않았으며, ARW는 NO 생성 비율을 250 μg/mL 농도에서 87.3±3.3%, 500 μg/mL 농도에서 73.5±4.7%으로 NO 생성을 억제하였다. 또한 LPS를 단독 처리한 군의 경우 iNOS, COX-2 mRNA 발현이 증가하였고 LPS 및 ARW 500 μg/mL 처리한 농도군에서 COX-2 및 iNOS의 mRNA와 단백질 발현 수준이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. MSU를 주입하여 통풍을 유도한 마우스 발 부종은 ARW를 섭취한 군과 비교하여 감소하였다. 통풍 유도 마우스의 혈중요산, creatinine 및 BUN의 농도를 측정한 결과 ARW 투여군에서 creatinine과 요산이 감소하였으며, 마우스 신장에서 URAT1과 GLUT9의 mRNA와 단백질 발현 분석 결과 또한 감소하였다. HLPC를 이용하여 ARW의 지표성분 분석 결과 caffeic acid 함량은 1.25 mg/g, 루틴 함량은 0.08 mg/g으로 측정되었다. 국내에서 아스파라거스는 순 부위만 식용으로 사용하고 뿌리 등은 식품 원료로 등록되지 않아 모두 폐기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 ARW의 기능성 소재로서의 개발 가능성을 확인하였고, 향후 독성 평가 및 원료의 특성 분석 등을 통하여 한시적식품원료 등록 및 기능성 소재로서의 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-gout effects of asparagus root water extract (ARW). ARW was not cytotoxic up to 500 μg/mL and effectively inhibited nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages. It was confirmed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of COX-2 and iNOS decreased at an ARW concentration of 500 μg/mL. We also explored the anti-gout effects using a monosodium urate-induced mouse model. Decreased concentrations of uric acid, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen were observed at an ARW concentration of 400 μg/mL. The mRNA and protein expression of URAT1 and GLUT9 in the mouse kidney decreased to the level of the positive control (allopurinol 50 μg/mL) at an ARW concentration of 400 μg/mL. We analyzed the caffeic acid and rutin contents in the ARW using HLPC; the results obtained were 1.25 and 0.08 mg/g, respectively. We suggest that ARW can be used as a functional materials agent, for its anti-inflammatory and anti-gout properties.
