Background: Both Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) cagA, vacA, iceA genotype and host IL-1B/IL-1RN polymorphisms play a role in determining the clinical consequences of H. pylori infection. This study aimed to investigate whether there might be any combinations of H. pylori cagA, vacA, iceA genotype and host IL-1B/IL-1RN polymorphisms that are particularly associated with the occurrence of gastric carcinoma in Korean patients. Methods: This study population was comprised of 239 patients with H. pylori infection: 122 with gastric carcinoma and 117 with gastritis only. DNA was isolated from gastric biopsy sample and H. pylori cagA, vacA and iceA genotype were determined by PCR. IL-1B-511 polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR-RFLP and IL-1RN polymorphisms were analyzed with variable number of tandom repeat after PCR. Results: H. pylori cagA, vacA, and iceA genotype were not associated with an increased risk for gastric carcinoma. IL-1B-511*T carriers and IL-1RN*2 carriers did not show increased risk for gastric carcinoma. On combination of bacterial/host genotypes, cagA+/IL-1B-511*T carriers and cagA+/IL-1RN*2 carriers, vacA s1/IL-1B-511*T carriers, vacA s1/IL-1RN*2 carriers, vacA m1/IL-1B-511*T carriers, vacA m1/IL-1RN*2 carriers, iceA1/IL-1B-511*T carriers, iceA1/IL-1RN*2 carriers showed no increased risk of gastric carcinoma. Conclusions: Combined H. pylori cagA, vacA, iceA genotype and host IL-1B/IL-1RN polymorphisms shows no increased risk of gastric carcinoma. Therefore, it seems other endogenous or exogenous factors may play more important role in the development of gastric carcinoma in Korean.(Korean J Med 71:24-37, 2006)

RSV 와 인플루엔자 바이러스 A 형 감염에 의해 천명을 보이는 소아와 천식 소아에서 비인두 흡인액의 Interleukin-5 와 Interleukin-γ 치의 비교

오재원,이하백,김창렬,염명걸,문수지,박일규,강정옥 대한 소아알레르기 및 호흡기학회 1999 소아알레르기 및 호흡기학회지 Vol.9 No.2

목 적 : 호흡기 바이러스 감염은 소아에서 천식을 악화시키는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 영유아기의 천식이나 천명발생에 있어서 호홉기 바이러스의 역할에 대해서는 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않다. 소아기의 천명이 천식과 달리 하나의 독립된 질환인지, 아니면 같은 질환으로 달리 표현되는 것인지 논란이 되어왔다. 이에 본 저자들은 호흡기 바이러스 감염과 천명과의 상관관계와 기전을 이해하기 위하여 RSV 감염이나 influenza A 바이러스 감염에 의해 천명이 있는 소아와 바이러스가 증명되지 않고 천명이 있는 천식소아에서의 비인두 흡인액의 IL-5와 IFN-γ치를 측정하여 비교하였다. 방 법 : 호흡기 바이러스 감염군 38명(RSV감염군 21명, influenga A virus 감염군 17명), 바이러스가 증명되지 않은 천식환아군 12명, 정상 대조군 16명을 대상으로 double sandwich ELISA를 이용하여 비인두 흡인액에서 IL-5와 IFN-γ치를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : RSV 감영군에서 비인두 흡인액의 IL-5 평균치가 influenza A 바이러스군의 평균치보다 의미있게 높았으며, 천식군보다도 높은 양상을 보이나 의미있는 차이는 없었다 반면, influenza A 바이러스 감염군의 비인두 흡인액의 IFN-γ치가 RSV군에 비해 의미있게 높았으나 천식환아군이나 정상군에 비해 의미있게 높지는 않았다. 비인두 흡입액에서 IL-5와 IFN-γ치간의 상관관계는 없었다. 결 론 : RSV 감염군은 influenza A 바이러스 감염군에 비해 Th2 반응이 우세한 것으로 추정되며, 반면에 influenza A virus 감염군은 Th1 반응을 보이는 것을 알 수 있다. Background : Infection with respiratory virus has been shown to exacerbate asthma. However, the role of a respiratory virus in the pathogenesis of chronic asthma and/or wheezing in young children has not been clearly defined. And it also has been debated whether virus-induced wheezing in young children is an entity different from allergic asthma, or just a different expression of the same disease. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the importance of eosinophilic inflammation, comparing IL-5 and IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions in wheezing children with or without viral infection and the controls. Methods : We compared IL-5 and IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions from 38 non-asthmatic wheezing children with viral infections (RSV in 21 children, influenza A virus in 17 children), 12 asthmatic children without viral infections and 16 children as the controls. Results : The present study reported that RSV infection in children induced more releasing of IL-5 in nasopharyngeal secretions than the influenza A virus infected ones and the controls. On the other hand, the releasing of IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions from children with influenza A virus infection was significantly higher than those of the children with RSV infection or asthmatic children. Conclusion : RSV infection in children may play a role in the immune response toward a Th2 phenotype as increasing IL-5 secretion in nasopharyngeal secretion. Increased IFN-γ production in response to the influenza A virus infection may be related to the effective Th1 responses.

Expression of ${\alpha}_1$-Acid Glycoprotein and Inflammatory Cytokines during Differentiation of HL-60 Cells

Lee, Il-Ha,Kim, In-Sook,Lee, Soo-Young Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biol 2000 Journal of biochemistry and molecular biology Vol.33 No.5

In order to understand the role of AGP on the differentiation of promyelocytic leukemia cells, the AGP expression and its relation to cytokines were investigated during granulocytic or monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells. When HL-60 cells were treated with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) for 5 days, the cells were fully differentiated into granulocytes, and the AGP mRNA and protein levels were continuously increased up to 5 days in a dose- and time- dependent manner. However, in the case of the monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells by tetradeanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA), the AGP gene expression was not induced. In addition, $IL-1{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNAs were also enhanced during granulocytic differentiation. These cytokine transcripts showed a peak level 3 days after the ATRA treatment. It decreased gradually thereafter. However, direct addition of recombinant cytokines ($IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$) and dexamethasone to the HL-60 cell cultures showed no AGP induction. These findings suggest that the AGP and proinflammatory cytokines are expressed in ATRA-treated promyelocytic cells. However, these cytokines do not act as autocrine inducers on AGP expression. This fact implies that the AGP expression during granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells is induced through a signal pathway different from hepatocyte signaling in inflammation.

Asthma is a chronic eosinophilic inflammatory disease with an increasing prevalence worldwide. Endocannabinoids are known to have immunomodulatory biological effects. However, the contribution of oleoylethanolamide (OEA) to airway inflammation remains to be elucidated. To investigate the effect of OEA, the expression of proinflammatory cytokines was measured by RT-qPCR and ELISA in airway epithelial (A549) cells. The numbers of airway inflammatory cells and cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, airway hyperresponsiveness, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) were examined in BALB/c mice after 4 days of OEA treatment. Furthermore, eosinophil activation after OEA treatment was evaluated by measuring cellular CD69 levels in eosinophils from human peripheral eosinophils using flow cytometry. OEA induced type 2 inflammatory responses in vitro and in vivo. OEA increased the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-8, and IL-33, in A549 cells. In addition, it also induced eosinophilic inflammation, the production of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-33 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and airway hyperresponsiveness. OEA increased the numbers of IL-5- or IL-13-producing ILC2s in a mouse model. Finally, we confirmed that OEA increased CD69 expression (an eosinophil activation marker) on purified eosinophils from patients with asthma compared to those from healthy controls. OEA may play a role in the pathogenesis of asthma by activating ILC2s and eosinophils.

Yan, Bing Chun,Park, Joon Ha,Kim, In Hye,Shin, Bich Na,Ahn, Ji Hyeon,Yoo, Ki-Yeon,Lee, Deuk-Sik,Kim, Myong Jo,Kang, Il-Jun,Won, Moo-Ho Springer-Verlag 2012 Experimental brain research Vol.223 No.2

<P>Tetanus toxin (TeT) is an exotoxin and has a capacity for neuronal binding and internalization. In the present study, we compared changes in the immunoreactivities and protein levels of interleukin (IL-) 2 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine and IL-4 as an anti-inflammatory cytokine in the hippocampus proper (HP) and dentate gyrus (DG) after systemic treatment of 10 or 100?ng/kg TeT into mice. In this study, we could not find any neuronal damage or loss in any subregions of the hippocampus after TeT treatment. In the control groups, strong IL-2 immunoreactivity was shown in the stratum pyramidal (SP) of the HP and in the granule cell layer (GCL) of the DG. At 6?h post-treatment, IL-2 immunoreactivity was hardly detected in the SP and GCL; however, strong IL-2 immunoreactivity was shown in the stratum oriens of the HP in both the groups. Thereafter, intermediate IL-2 immunoreactivity was shown in the SP and GCL. On the other hand, intermediate IL-4 immunoreactivity was detected in the SP and GCL of the control groups. At 6?h post-treatment, IL-4 immunoreactivity in the SP and GCL was apparently increased. Thereafter, IL-4 immunoreactivity was lower than that at 6?h post-treatment. In brief, IL-2 and 4 immunoreactivities were easily detected in SP and GCL in the controls and dramatically decreased and increased at 6?h post-treatment, respectively.</P>

Expression of α-Acid Glycoprotein and Inflammatory Cytokines during Differentiation of HL-60 Cells

Lee, Soo Young,Kim, In Sook,Lee, Il Ha 생화학분자생물학회 2001 BMB Reports Vol.33 No.5

In order to understand the role of AGP on the differentiation of promyelocytic leukemia cells, the AGP expression and its relation to cytokines were investigated during granulocytic or monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells. When HL-60 cells were treated with all-traps-retinoic acid (ATRA) for 5 days, the cells were fully differentiated into granulocytes, and the AGP mRNA and protein levels were continuously increased up to 5 days in a dose- and time- dependent manner. However, in the case of the monocytic difyerentiation of HL-60 cells by tetradeanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA), the AGP gene expression was not inducted. In addition, IL-lα, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α mRNAs were also enhanced during granulocytic differentiation. These cytokine transcripts showed a peak level 3 days after the ATRA treatment. It decreased gradually thereafter. However, direct addition of recombinant cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) and dexamethasone to the HL-60 cell cultures showed no AGP induction. These Endings suggest that the AGP and proinflammatory cytokines are expressed in ATRA-treated promyelocytic cells. However, these cytokines do not aM as autocrine inducers on AGP expression. This fact implies that the AGP expression during granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells is induced through a signal pathway different from hepatocyte signaling in inflammation.

Lee, Keum Hwa,Oh, Ji Young,Seong, Su-Bin,Ha, Tae-Sun,Shin, Jae Il Korean Society of Pediatric Nephrology 2018 Childhood kidney diseases Vol.22 No.1

Purpose: Podocytes are important architectures that maintain the crucial roles of glomerular filtration barrier functions. Despite this structural importance, however, the mechanisms of the changes in podocytes that can be an important pathogenesis of minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) are not clear yet. The aim of this study was to investigate whether apoptosis is induced by interleukin (IL)-13 in cultured human podocytes. Methods: Human podocytes were treated with different IL-13 doses and apoptotic cells were analyzed using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL assay) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Results: The IL-13 increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells in a dose-dependent manner at 6 and 18 hours (P<0.05 and P<0.05, respectively). The apoptosis rate was appeared to be increased slightly in the IL-13-stimulated podocytes (8.63%, 13.02%, and 14.46%; 3, 10 and 30 ng/mL, respectively) than in the control cells (7.66%) at 12 hours by FACS assay. Conclusion: Our study revealed that IL-13 expression may increase podocyte apoptosis. Blocking the IL-13 signal pathway can potentially play an important role in regulating the apoptosis of podocytes.

오재원(Jae Won Oh),이하백(Ha Baik Lee),박일규(Il Kyu Park),강정옥(Jung Oak Kang) 대한천식알레르기학회 2000 천식 및 알레르기 Vol.20 No.1

N/A Background: Infection with respiratory virus has been shown to exacerbate asthma in humans. However, the role of a respiratory virus in the pathogenesis of chronic asthma and/or wheezing in young children has not been clearly defined. The objective of this study was to determine whether respiratory virus infections such as RSV, and influenza A virus are related to the productions of IL-11, IFN-γ, and ECP levels in nasopharyngeal secretions. Method: We compared IL-11, IFN-γ, and ECP levels in nasopharyngeal secretions from 38 non-asthmatic wheezing children with viral infections (RSV in 21 children, influenza A virus in 17 children), and 16 non-asthmatic healthy children who were included as the controls. IL-11, and IFN-y levels were analysed by ELISA. ECP concentrations were measured by monoclonal antibody-based fluorometric assay. Result. RSV infection in children induced a greater release of IL-11 in nasopharyngeal secretions than in influenza A virus infection, and in the controls. The release of IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions from children with influenza A virus infection was significantly higher than in nasopharyngeal secretions from children with RSV. ECP levels of subjects with viral infection were significantly higher than in control children. Conclusion. This study demonstrated that RSV is a potent inducer of IL-11 elaboration in nasal epithelium and that IL-11 is an important mediator in the pathogenesis of RSV infection. Increased IFN-γ production in response to the influenza A virus infection may be related to effective Th1 responses.

Nicotine Suppresses TNF-${\alpha}$ Expression in Human Fetal Astrocyte through the Modulation of Nuclear Factor-${\kappa}B$ Activation

Son, Il-Hong,Park, Yong-Hoon,Yang, Hyun-Duk,Lee, Sung-Ik,Han, Sun-Jung,Lee, Jai-Kyoo,Ha, Dae-Ho,Kang, Hyung-Won,Park, Joo-Young,Lee, Sung-Soo The Korean Society of Toxicogenomics and Toxicopro 2008 Molecular & cellular toxicology Vol.4 No.2

Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses severely by a gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Epidemiological studies showed that the incidences of PD were reduced by smoking of which the major component, nicotine might be neuroprotective. But the function of nicotine, which might suppress the incidences of PD, is still unknown. Fortunately, recently it was reported that a glial reaction and inflammatory processes might participate in a selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the SN. The levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ synthesised by astrocytes and microglia are elevated in striatum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in PD. TNF-${\alpha}$ kills the cultured dopaminergic neurons through the apoptosis mechanism. TNF-${\alpha}$ release from glial cells may mediate progression of nigral degeneration in PD. Nicotine pretreatment considerably decreases microglial activation with significant reduction of TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression and TNF-${\alpha}$ release induced by lipopholysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Thus, this study was intended to explore the role of nicotine pretreatment to inhibit the expressions of TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA in human fetal astrocytes (HFA) stimulated with IL-$1{\beta}$. The results are as follows: HFA were pretreated with 0.1, 1, and $10{\mu}g/mL$ of nicotine and then stimulated with IL-$1{\beta}$ (100 pg/mL) for 2h. The inhibitory effect of nicotine on expressions of TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA in HFA with pretreated $0.1{\mu}g/mL$ of nicotine was first noted at 8hr, and the inhibitory effect was maximal at 12 h. The inhibitory effect at $1{\mu}g/mL$ of nicotine was inhibited maximal at 24 h. Cytotoxic effects of nicotine were noted above $10{\mu}g/mL$ of nicotine. Moreover, Nicotine at 0.1, 1 and $10{\mu}g/mL$concentrations significantly inhibited IL-$1{\beta}$-induced TF-${\kappa}B$ activation. Collectively, these results indicate that in activated HFA, nicotine may inhibit the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA through the pathway which suppresses the NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. This study suggests that nicotine might be neuroprotective to dopaminergic neurons in the SN and reduce the incidences of PD.

이종태(Jong Tae Lee),하인종(In Jong Ha),김희대(Hee Dae Kim),문진성(Jin Seong Moon),김우일(Woo Il Kim),송원두(Won Doo Song) 한국원예학회 2006 원예과학기술지 Vol.24 No.2

벼와 양파 2모작 논토양에서 효율적인 돈분뇨 액비 시용을 위하여 액비 시용에 따른 양파의 생육, 양분흡수량 변화와 토양의 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 사용된 액비의 질소, 인산 및 칼륨 함량은 각각 4.2, 0.34, 1.2g kg⁻¹ 등이었다. 추비용 액비는 시용 10일 전에 물로 2배 희석하여 월 2회씩 4회와 6회로 나누어 시용하였다. 기비는 질소표준시비량 기준으로 19,280kg ha⁻¹로 시용하였으며 추비에 사용된 액비량은 101,910kg ha⁻¹이었다. 양파의 초장은 정식 136일 후부터 186일까지 급격히 증가하였으며 화학비료구, 액비기비+화학비료 추비구 및 액비기비+액비 4회 추비구 간에는 차이가 없었으나 무비구와 액비전량 기비구는 양분부족으로 생육이 저조하였다. 구 비대초기의 구경은 무비구에서 가장 컸으나 그 이후 화학비료구와 액비시용구에서 크게 증가하였다. 엽 생체중의 변화는 초장과 유사한 경향을 보인 반면 구 생체중은 구경과 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 초장과 엽중은 화학비료구와 액비전량 기비구 및 액비기비+액비 6회 추비구간 다소 작았으나 구경, 구중 및 엽수는 처리간 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았다. 양파 구와 잎의 양분흡수량은 전 생육기간에 시그모이드 형을 나타내었으며 잎과 구의 양분흡수량은 각각 잎과 구의 생육이 진전됨에 따라 증가하는 경향이었다. 화학비료구와 액비기비+화학비료 추비구 및 액비 4회 추비구간에 양분흡수량의 차이는 없었고 액비전량 기비구에서 잎의 질소와 칼륨흡수량이, 구의 질소흡수량이 화학비료구보다 적었다. 무비구는 질소, 칼륨 및 마그네슘 흡수량이 다른 처리구보다 적었다. 액비기비+액비 4회 추비구에서 질소와 인산이용률이 각각 23.5%, 13.2%로 가장 높았으나 액비기비+액비 4회 추비구에서 칼륨이용률이 높았고 상품 수량도 55.0Mg ha⁻¹로 가장 많았다. 구의 질소, 인산 및 칼륨함량은 생육이 진전됨에 감소하는 경향이었고 잎의 질소함량은 생육초기에 가장 많은 반면 칼륨함량은 구비대 초기에 가장 많았다. 수확 후 토양 pH, 질산태 질소, 교환성 칼륨 및 EC 농도는 화학비료구보다 액비시용구에서 약간 증가하였다. 본 연구 결과를 종합해 볼 때 돈분뇨 액비를 기비로 시용하고 3배 희석한 액비를 2월과 3월에 4회 추비하면 균형적인 양분공급이 가능하고 적정 수량도 확보할 수있었다. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of liquid pig manure (LPM) on the nutrient uptake, yield of onion and soil properties. The LPM applied to onion field contained 4.2 g kg⁻¹ N, 0.34 g kg⁻¹ P, 1.2 g kg⁻¹ K and it was diluted with water by 1:2 for top-dressing, which was applied separately 4 or 6 times from February to April. The LPM application rate for basal fertilization was 19,280 kg ha⁻¹ which included 80 kg N, 6.6 kg P, and 22 kg K. The application rate for top-dressing was 101,910 kg ha⁻¹ which included 160 kg N, 13 kg P, and 53 kg K. The plant height was not almost different among treatments until 136 days after planting. Thereafter, it enlarged abruptly until 186 days, on May 4. The significant difference among CF and LPM + top-dressing by CF or LPM I was not shown, but no fertilizer and LPM only (it was applied totally as basal fertilization) made plant height of onion lessen at the maximum growth stage because of insufficient nutrients. The plant diameter increased after 136 days, and there was a significant difference between CF or LPM and no fertilizer from 186 days after planting. The leaf weight was similar tendency to plant height while bulb weight was similar to plant diameter. The amount of nutrient uptake in leaf coincided with leaf growth and the nutrient uptake in bulb swelled simultaneously with bulb growth. The difference between CF and LPM + top-dressing by CF or LPM I was not significant in nutrient uptake of onion leaf and bulb. But LPM only decreased in nitrogen and potassium of leaf and in nitrogen of bulb. And no fertilizer made a remarkable difference to others in nitrogen, potassium and magnesium of leaf and bulb. The utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus in LPM + top-dressing by CF were 23.5%, 13.2% respectively, more than the others. The LPM + top-dressing by LPM I was most available with potassium, and it leaded the most abundant marketable yield by 55.0 t ha⁻¹ as well. The nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents in bulb were inclined to decrease with progress of onion growth. The nitrogen contents in leaf maximized at the initial growth stage while potassium contents increased at the initial bulbing stage. The LPM application increased pH, nitrate nitrogen, potassium and EC in soil more than chemical fertilizer (CF) did.
