본 연구의 목적은 d-arphetamine이 흰쥐의 적출부신 관류모델에서 니코틴 수용체 흥분에 의한 카테콜아민(CA) 유리작용에 미치는 영향을 검색하여 그 작용기전을 규명하고자 하였다. D-amphetamine은 흰쥐 부신정맥내로 60분간 관류시 d-amphetamine자체는 약한 CA 분비작용을 나타내었으나, d-amphetamine (30 μM)을 비롯한 강력한 neuronal nicotine 수용체 작용제인 cytisine (50 μM) 및 epibatidine (30 μM)에 의한 CA 유리작용을 처음 4-10분 동안만 유의하게 증강시켰다. 또한, d-amphetamine (30 μM)은 60분간 부신정맥 내로 관류한 상태에서 dihydropyridine L-형 칼슘통로 개방약물인 Bay-K-8644 (10 μM)과 세포질내 칼슘저장고에서 Ca^(2+) ATPase 억제제인 cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM)의 CA 유리작용을 처음 4분간만 유의하게 증강시켰다. 그러나, 고농도의 d-amphetamine (500 μM)은 상기한 모든 분비촉진제의 CA분비작용을 오히려 억제하였다. 이와 같은 연구결과로 보면, 흰쥐 관류 부신수질에서 d-amphetamine은 낮은 농도에서는 콜린성 니코틴 수용체 흥분에 의한 카테콜아민 분비반응을 증강시키지만, 고농도에서는 오히려 억제적으로 작용함을 시사한다. 따라서, d-amphetamine은 용량에 따라서 흰쥐 적출 관류부신수질의 니코틴 수용체의 작용제 및 길항제로 이중 작용(dual action)을 나타내는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 d-amphetamine의 작용은 흰쥐 부신수질 크롬친화세포의 dihydropyridine계 L-형 칼슘통로의 활성화 및 세포 내 칼슘저장고로부터 칼슘유리작용과 관련성이 있는 것으로 사료된다. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of d-amphetamine on CA release evoked by nocotinic receptor stimulation from the isolated perfused model of the rat adrenal gland, and to establish its mechanism of action. D-amphetamine(30 μM), when perfused into an adrenal vein of the rat adrenal gland for 60 min, enhanced the CA secretory responses evoked by ACh (5.32 mM), nicotine (30 μM), cytisine (50 μM, a selective neuronal nicotinic Nn-receptor agonist) and epibatidine (30 nM, a selective neuronal nicotinic Nn receptor agonist) only for the first period (4~10 min), although it alone has weak effect on CA secretion. Moreover, d-amphetamine (30 μM) in to an adrenal vein for 60 min also augmented the CA release evoked by BAY-K-8644, an activator of the dihydropyridine L-type Ca^(2+) channels, and cyclopiazonic acid, an inhibitor of cytoplasmic Ca^(2+) ATPase only for the first peroid (4 min). However, in the presence rather inhibited the CA secretory responses evoked by the above all of secretagogues. Taken together, these experimental results suggest that d-amphetamine at a low concentration enhances the CA secretion from the rat adrenal medulla evoked by stimulation of cholinergic nicotininc receptors, but at a high concentration it rather inhibits them. It semms that d-amphetamine has dual action acting as both agonist and antagonist at nicotinic receptors of the isolated perfused rat adrenal medulla, which are might be dependent on the concentration. It is also thought that these actions of d-amphetamine are probably relevant to the activation of the dihydropyridine L-type Ca^(2+) channels located on the rat adrenomedullary chromaffin cell membrane and release of Ca^(2+) from the cytoplasmic store.

Background and Objectives : The cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin is necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial cellular structure. We were designed to confirm the significance of E-cadherin as a marker for differentiation and invasiveness of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx. Materials and Methods : Our study was investigated for the immunohistochemical expression of the epithelium-specific cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin in formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue specimen of 32 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of larynx and hypopharynx. Results : The positive expression of E-cadherin was 56.3%(18 cases) in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx. Decreased E-cadherin expression was a stastistically significant correlation with a increased grade of lymph node stage and clinical stage. Reduced expression was seen in the large tumor size and poorly differentiated tumors, but these result was not statistically significant. Conclusion : The expression of E-cadherin may be related with progression of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx. But these correlation were not sufficient for the prognostic indicators in squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx and hypopharynx.

목적: 임상적으로 FENa가 일과성 신손상 (T-AKI)과 지속성 신손상 (P-AKI)을 감별하는 데 많이 사용되지만 이뇨제를 사용한 환자에서 FENa는 유효 혈류량 결핍 상태에서도 증가하게 되어 진단적 정확성이 떨어진다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이뇨제 투여상황에서 FE(Na)와 비교하여 FE(Urea)의 진단적 유용성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 107명의 급성 신손상 환자를 임상적 특성에 따라 일과성과 지속성 신손상 군으로 나누고 이를 다시 이뇨제 투여 유무에 따라 재분류하였다. ROC 곡선에 따라 계산된 cutoff value에 따라서 일과성 신손상을 정의하였고 이뇨제 투여로 인한 cutoff value의 변화에 따른 민감도와 특이도를 비교하였다. 결과: AKI가 발생한 107명의 모든 환자중 검사 이전에 경험적으로 이뇨제를 사용한 경우가 67명으로 63%를 보였고, 일과성 신손상군의 경우는 52명 중 27명으로 52%를, 지속성 신손상군의 경우는 55명 중 45명으로 73%를 보였다. ROC curve에 따라 cutoff value를 FE(Na)≤1.5 FE(Urea)≤30으로 하였을 때 T-AKI를 진단하는 데 사용된 두 값의 민감도와 특이도는 모든 환자군에서 FE(Na)가 81%, 98%를, FE(Urea) 가 94%, 82%를 보였다. 이뇨제 비투여군에서는 FE(Na)가 96 %, 100%를, FEUrea가 92%, 87%를 보였으며, 이뇨제 투여군에서는 FE(Na)가 63%, 98%를, FE(Urea)가 96%, 83%를 보였다. 결론: 이뇨제를 사용한 경우 P-AKI를 진단하는데 FE(Urea)도 FE(Na) 정도의 진단적 유용성을 가진다. Purpose: Although fractional excretion of sodium (FE(Na)) has been used to distinguish transient-acute kidney injury (T-AKI) from persistent-AKI (P-AKI), the availability of FE(Na) in the diagnosis of T-AKI is reported low in patients with diuretics use. We compared the diagnostic performance of fractional excretion of urea (FE(Urea)) with that of FE(Na) in patients with diuretics use. Methods: One hundred seven AKI patients were classified as having T-AKIor P-AKI according to the clinical context. Each group was again subdivided according to exposure to diuretics. According to the cut off value generated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, sensitivity and specificity of FE(Na) and FE(Urea) were compared with each other. Results: The numbers of patients administered with diuretics were 67 out of total 107 AKI patients (63%), 27 out of 52 (52%) of T-AKI patients, and 40 out of total (65) 55 (73%) of P-AKI patients. When the cutoff value of T-AKI was defined as FE(Na) ≤1.5 and FE(Urea) ≤30 according to the ROC curves, sensitivity and specificity of FE(Na) were 96% and 100% in non-diuretics group, and 63% and 98% in diuretics group, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of FE(Urea) were 92% and 87% in non-diuretics group, and 96% and 83% in diuretics group, respectively. Conclusion: FE(Urea) is as good as FE(Na) at distinguishing T-AKI from P-AKI in patients administered with diuretics.

Systematic Proteogenomic Approach To Exploring a Novel Function for NHERF1 in Human Reproductive Disorder: Lessons for Exploring Missing Proteins

Na, Keun,Shin, Heon,Cho, Jin-Young,Jung, Sang Hee,Lim, Jaeseung,Lim, Jong-Sun,Kim, Eun Ah,Kim, Hye Sun,Kang, Ah Reum,Kim, Ji Hye,Shin, Jeong Min,Jeong, Seul-Ki,Kim, Chae-Yeon,Park, Jun Young,Chung, Hy American Chemical Society 2017 JOURNAL OF PROTEOME RESEARCH Vol.16 No.12

<P>One of the major goals of the Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) is to fill the knowledge gaps between human genomic information and the corresponding proteomic information. These gaps are due to “missing” proteins (MPs)predicted proteins with insufficient evidence from mass spectrometry (MS), biochemical, structural, or antibody analysesthat currently account for 2579 of the 19587 predicted human proteins (neXtProt, 2017-01). We address some of the lessons learned from the inconsistent annotations of missing proteins in databases (DB) and demonstrate a systematic proteogenomic approach designed to explore a potential new function of a known protein. To illustrate a cautious and strategic approach for characterization of novel function in vitro and in vivo, we present the case of Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory cofactor 1 (NHERF1/SLC9A3R1, located at chromosome 17q25.1; hereafter NHERF1), which was mistakenly labeled as an MP in one DB (Global Proteome Machine Database; GPMDB, 2011-09 release) but was well known in another public DB and in the literature. As a first step, NHERF1 was determined by MS and immunoblotting for its molecular identity. We next investigated the potential new function of NHERF1 by carrying out the quantitative MS profiling of placental trophoblasts (PXD004723) and functional study of cytotrophoblast JEG-3 cells. We found that NHERF1 was associated with trophoblast differentiation and motility. To validate this newly found cellular function of NHERF1, we used the <I>Caenorhabditis elegans</I> mutant of <I>nrfl-1</I> (a nematode ortholog of <I>NHERF1</I>), which exhibits a protruding vulva (Pvl) and egg-laying-defective phenotype, and performed genetic complementation work. The <I>nrfl-1</I> mutant was almost fully rescued by the transfection of the recombinant transgenic construct that contained human <I>NHERF1</I>. These results suggest that NHERF1 could have a previously unknown function in pregnancy and in the development of human embryos. Our study outlines a stepwise experimental platform to explore new functions of ambiguously denoted candidate proteins and scrutinizes the mandated DB search for the selection of MPs to study in the future.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/jprobs/2017/jprobs.2017.16.issue-12/acs.jproteome.7b00146/production/images/medium/pr-2017-00146s_0008.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/pr7b00146'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway efficiently regulates the energy state of cells and maintains tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of the mTOR pathway has been implicated in several human diseases. Rapamycin is a specific inhibitor of mTOR and pharmacological inhibition of mTOR with rapamycin promote cardiac cell generation from the differentiation of mouse and human embryonic stem cells. These studies strongly implicate a role of sustained mTOR activity in the differentiating functions of embryonic stem cells; however, they do not directly address the required effect for sustained mTOR activity in human cardiac progenitor cells. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of mTOR inhibition by rapamycin on the cellular function of human cardiac progenitor cells and discovered that treatment with rapamycin markedly attenuated replicative cell senescence in human cardiac progenitor cells (hCPCs) and promoted their cellular functions. Furthermore, rapamycin not only inhibited mTOR signaling but also influenced signaling pathways, including STAT3 and PIM1, in hCPCs. Therefore, these data reveal a crucial function for rapamycin in senescent hCPCs and provide clinical strategies based on chronic mTOR activity.

Background/Aims: The major compounds of Cochinchina momordica seed extract (SK-MS10) include momordica saponins. We report that the gastroprotective effect of SK-MS10 in an ethanol-induced gastric damage rat model is mediated by suppressing proinflammatory cytokines and downregulating cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and the activation of calcitonin gene-related peptide. In this study, we evaluated the gastroprotective effects of SK-MS10 in the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastric damage rat model. Methods: The pretreatment effect of SK-MS10 was evaluated in the NSAID-induced gastric damage rat model using aspirin, indomethacin, and diclofenac in 7-week-old rats. Gastric damage was evaluated based on the gross ulcer index by gastroenterologists, and the damage area (%) was measured using the MetaMorph 7.0 video image analysis system. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blotting was used to analyze the levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, COX-2, cPLA2, and 5-LOX. Results: All NSAIDs induced gastric damage based on the gross ulcer index and damage area (p<0.05). Gastric damage was significantly attenuated by SK-MS10 pretreatment compared with NSAID treatment alone (p<0.05). The SK-MS10 pretreatment group exhibited lower MPO levels than the diclofenac group. The expression of cPLA2 and 5-LOX was decreased by SK-MS10 pretreatment in each of the three NSAID treatment groups. Conclusions: SK-MS10 exhibited a gastroprotective effect against NSAID-induced acute gastric damage in rats. However, its protective mechanism may be different across the three types of NSAID-induced gastric damage models in rats. (Gut Liver 2014,8:49-57)

Mycobacterium kansasii-induced death of murine macrophages involves endoplasmic reticulum stress responses mediated by reactive oxygen species generation or calpain activation.

Lim, Yun-Ji,Choi, Hong-Hee,Choi, Ji-Ae,Jeong, Ji Ae,Cho, Soo-Na,Lee, Jung-Hwan,Park, Jin Bong,Kim, Hwa-Jung,Song, Chang-Hwa Rapid Science Publishers ; Kluwer Academic Publish 2013 Apoptosis Vol.18 No.2

<P>Although pathogenic mechanisms of tuberculosis have been extensively studied, little is known about the pathogenic mechanisms of Mycobacterium kansasii. In this work the influence of virulence and ER-stress mediated apoptosis of macrophages during two different strains of M. kansasii infection was investigated. We show that M. kansasii infection is associated with ER stress-mediated apoptosis in the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Infection of RAW 264.7 cells in vitro with apoptosis-inducing a clinical isolate of M. kansasii SM-1 (SM-1) resulted in strong induction of ER stress responses compared with M. kansasii type strain (ATCC 12478)-infected RAW 264.7 cells. Interestingly, inhibition of calpain prevented the induction of CHOP and Bip in ATCC 12478-infected RAW 264.7 cells but not in RAW 264.7 cells infected with SM-1. In contrast, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were significantly increased only in RAW 264.7 cells infected with SM-1. We propose that ROS generation is important for triggering ER stress-mediated apoptosis during SM-1 infection, whereas ATCC 12478-induced, ER stress-mediated apoptosis is associated with calpain activation. Our results demonstrate that the ER stress pathway plays important roles in the pathogenesis of M. kansasii infections, and that different strains of M. kansasii induce different patterns of ER stress-mediated apoptosis.</P>

Objectives: This study aimed to establish a linkage model involving regional responsible medical institutions after analyzing the existing conditions and deriving problems through qualitative analysis within the community care system. Methods: A total of 14 participants of this study were selected through the snowball sampling method, including 7 community care service providers and 7 service users. As for the research data, primary data were collected through interviews, and as a result of analyzing according to Aday&Anderson’ model, a total of 5 catergories, 8 topics, and 22 sub theme were derived. Results: The problem derived from the interview is that division services are provided for each institution due to the absence of a key central institution of community care system, and users’ commercial institutions is unclear. The second is the inconsistency between the needs and supply for community care, resulting in a possibility of delay in returning to the community after discharge. Based on these problems, it is necessary to unify it as an community care window of the Dong-community center. In addition, there is a need for public health centers to play an active role, and to establish a public-private joint system with the Health and Living Support Center to establish a model that can play a certain role. Conclusions: Therefore, based on the results of this study, it can be used as basic data when constructing community care model and applying it as an expanded model in the future.
