Uterine cells carry out proliferation and differentiation for preparation the embryonic implantation during pregnancy. Therefore regulation of the cell proliferation is an essential step for uterine preparation, but there is not much information about the proliferation related genes in pregnant uterus. To identify these implantation specific genes, a PCR-select cDNA subtraction method was employed and got a few genes. One of the identified genes is a novel gene encoding oral tumor suppressor doc-1. To detect the doc-1 expression on the pregnant uterus, dot blotting, RT-PCR, and in situ hybridization were employed. Dot blotting revealed that doc-1 mRNA expression increase after implantation. During normal pregnancy, doc-1 mRNA expression was detected as early as day 1 of pregnancy with RT-PCR. Its expression was increased about 15 times after embryonic implantation. doc-1 transcript was localized in luminal epithelial cells but it was very faint during preimplantation. After starting the implantation, it localized in the stromal cells; heightened expression of doc-1 correlates with intense stromal cell proliferation surrounding the implanting blastocyst on day 6 morning. However in the decidualized cells, the intensity of localized doc-1 mRNA was weak. From those results, it is revealed that doc-1 express at pregnant uterus of the mouse. In addition it is suggested that doc-1 is the gene regulating the proliferation of the luminal epithelial cells and stromal cells during early implantation and decidualization.

당뇨병은 생식내분비 조직의 구조나 기능 변화를 유발하여 호르몬 합성 및 분비량의 변화를 야기하고, 정자의 운동성 등에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 부정소와 수정관내 정자의 농도 변화나 수정능력 획득 및 침체반응에 미치는 영향은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 실험에서는 Wistar 쥐에 streptozotocin을 투여하여 당뇨병을 유발시킨 후 3일과 14일에 부정소 각 부위와 수정관내 정자 농도 변화를 조사하고 부정소 꼬리와 수정관내 정자의 침체반응 유도 실험 (acrosome reaction to ionophore challenge test, ARIC test)을 이용하여 정자의 수정 능력을 평가하였다. Streptozotocin을 주사한 후 혈액내 인슐린 및 포도당 농도는 당뇨병 경과 기간이 길어짐에 따라 반비례 관계를 보였다. 부정소 머리와 몸통내 정자의 농도는 3일군에서부터 감소하기 시작하나 꼬리에서는 14일군 $(15.2{\pm}2.1)$에서 대조군 $(28.1{\pm}4.0)$이나 3일군에 $(24.8{\pm}2.9)$비해 유의하게 감소하였다. 수정관내 절자 농도는 14일군이 $0.025{\pm}0.013$으로 대조군과 $(0.108{\pm}0.03)$ 3일군에 $(0.067{\pm}0.046)$ 비해 유의하게 감소하였으며, 3일군도 대조군에 비해 유의한 차이를 보였다. 자발적 첨체반응율은 대조군의 부정소 꼬리정자는 $37.1{\pm}2.4$이고 수정관내 정자는 $49.3{\pm}2.4$로 두 부위간 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3일군과 14일군의 부정소 꼬리와 수정관내 정자의 자발적 첨체반응율은 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다. 한편 14일군의 수정관내 정자의 자발적 첨체반응율은 대조군이나 3일군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다. ARIC test 결과 대조군과 3일군에서는 20%이상 차이를 보였으나 14일군에서는 약 8.4% 차이를 보였다. 위의 결과가 부정소의 성숙 조절기능 이상 또는 정자형성 이상에 기인한 것인지는 더 연구되어야 하나 당뇨병 병력이 길어짐에 따라 정자의 수적인 감소, 자발적 침체반응의 증가나 침체반응의 약화가 유발되어 생식능력의 감소 원인으로 작용하는 것으로 사료된다. Some of the information concerning sexual function in the male diabetes has been focused upon the problems of endocrine or semen parameters. However, the characteristics of acrosome reaction and spermatozoa concentration at the epididymis and vas deferens have scarcely been studied, and the causes of the infertility has not been critically identified. So, we designed to inspect the spermatozoa concentration and the characteristics of acrosome reaction at epididymis and vas deferens of diabetic Wistar rat induced by streptozotocin (STZ, 70 mg/kg, ip). Experimental animal was sacrificed at 3 days and 14 days after the STZ injection. In the diabetes-induced rat, the levels of insulin and glucose had a pattern of inverse proportion. The spermatozoa concentrations in caput and corpus epididymis were significantly decreased in all diabetic condition. In cauda epididymis, however, there was significant decrease in sperm concentration at 14 days onward. In diabetic rat, the spontaneous reaction rate of spermatozoa of cauda and vas deferens were significantly higher than the control group. The ARIC (acrosome reaction to ionophore challenge) value of caudal sperm was 28.7 at control, 22.1 at 3 days, and 8.3 at 14 days. In the present study the spermatozoa concentration was decreased and the spontaneous reaction rate was increased by diabetes. In ARIC-test, it is revealed that the fertility of spermatozoa of 14 days group was lower than control or 3 days group. Diabetes mellitus may be provoke the decreased fertilization rate and subsequent infertility and subsequent infertility.

The study has been carried out in order to evaluate the effects of embryonic stage, and cryopreservation method on the rates of viability and development of the cryopreserved mouse early embryos. The results were as following:In the treatment steps of cryoprotectant, for the fertilized oocyte with pronucleus(PN), 2-step was better than the others. And for the other embryos, 4-step was better than 2- or 3-step. In respect to the embryonic stage, as the embryos developed from fertilized oocytes to 8-cell embryos, the rates of viability and development were increased higher. Therefore, 8-cell embryo was better stage than the others. In respect to the kind of cryoprotectants, PROH was better than DMSO for the fertilized oocyte, as a cryoprotectant. DMSO, for the 2-cell embryos and PROH and DMSO for the 4- and 8-cell embryos were suitable for cryopreservation.

Concanavalin A를 매개로한 세포내 Calcium의 변화와 생쥐 포배의 팽창과 부화

전용필,Cheon, Yong Pil 대한생식의학회 2005 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.32 No.4

Objective: The oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins and proteoglycans have a vital function in blastocyst differentiation. Concanavalin (ConA), a lectin, is known to bind on the preimplantation embryos, especially on blastocyst. In this study, we investigated whether ConA can modulate the trophoblast development and about the regulating mediator. Also, we investigated whether expansion is enough for hatching procession of the mouse blastocyst. Method: Embryos were collected at 72 h post hCG injection and chemicals were treated after 24 h (96 hr post hCG injection). ConA or calcium ionophore A23187 were exposed to blastocyst and than analysis the developmental process for 48 hr. Intracellular free-$Ca^{2+}$ concentration in trophectoderm was measured with confocal laser microscope after exposing to ConA or calcium ionophore A23187. ConA-pretreated blastocyst exposed to the calcium ionophore A23187 and then analyzed the developmental process. Otherwise ouabain was treated to the blastocyst to block the $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase activity. Results: In contrast to the control blastocyst, the ConA-exposed blastocysts developed beyond the expansion stage with significantly high rate (90.4%) at 12 h post administration. ConA induced an increase the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in trophectoderm. Calcium ionophore A23187 also stimulated expansion of blastocyst. Most of the control blastocysts developed to the hatching stage at 144 h post hCG injection. However, strongly 65% of the ConA-exposed embryos were arrested at expanded stage at same time point. The developmental progression rates to hatching stage of both ConA- and calcium ionophore A23187-expose blastocysts were significantly lower than that of the control. However ConA-pretreated embryos developed to the hatching stage like control embryos. Ouabain showed a tendency to delayed the progress to expansion stage but did not inhibit the development to the hatching stage. Conclusion: ConA-mediated expansion is the result of the increase of intracellular free-calcium in blastocyst stage embryo. It is suspected that expansion of the blasocyst is a essential indirect factor in hatching and the calcium may triggering the cellular mechanisms for the both expansion and hatching progression.

Indomethacin이 생쥐 착상전 배아의 발생 및 부화에 미치는 영향

전용필,계명찬,김정훈,김문규,Cheon, Yong-Pil,Gye, Myung-Chan,Kim, Chung-Hoon,Kim, Moon-Kyoo 대한생식의학회 1997 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.24 No.1

The present study was designed to define the role of prostaglandin in the development and hatching of mouse embryo. The effects of indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, on the development and hatching of morula and blastocyst were examined. In early morula stage, embryos were degenerated significantly at 100 ${\mu}M$ and 200 ${\mu}M$ indomethacin. However, the viability of embryos was not influenced by concentration in any other embryonic stages. In all embryonic stages, the hatching was suppressed with concentration dependent manner, but expansion was not suppressed. Particularly, in 84h embryos post hCG injection, the hatching was suppressed significantly compared with post hCG 72h or 96h embryos. When embryos were treated with 100 ${\mu}M$ indomethacin for a specific time (12h) in according to the development stage, the hatching was suppressed all groups. These suppressional effect was decreased as embryonic development stage was progressed. However, the expansion was not affected in all treatment group. This study suggests that hatching-related metabolic substances are synthesized from morula stage and intraembryonic signaling mediated prostaglandin was important for development and hatching of mouse embryo.

전용필(Cheon Yong-Pil),Mohammad Lalmoddin Mollah,박창호(Park Chang-Ho),홍주헌(Hong Joo-Heon),이기동(Lee Gee-Dong),송재찬(Song Jae-Chan),김길수(Kim Kil-Soo) 한국생명과학회 2009 생명과학회지 Vol.19 No.4

본 연구는 BS 열수추출물의 항염증 활성을 조사하기 위하여 LPS로 자극된 RAW 264.7세포에서 세포가 방출하는 NO, PGE₂, COX생성량과 염증성 사이토카인인 IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α의 생성량의 변화를 조사하여 항염증성 기능의 유무와 정도를 알아보고자 하였다. 마우스 대식세포인 RAW 264.7에 대한 BS추출물의 농도별(0, 50, 100, 200 ㎍/㎖) 세포독성을 알아보기 위하여 MTT assay를 수행하여 200 ㎍/㎖ 이하의 농도에서는 세포독성이 낮아 기본적으로 세포의 생존율에 영향을 주지 않는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. RAW 264.7세포에 BS추출물을 전처리하고 LPS를 18시간 동안 처리한 후 NO의 생성량은 정상세포에 비하여 약 8배 이상 증가되었으며, BS추출물을 100 ㎍/㎖ 농도 이상으로 처리한 실험군에서는 농도의존적으로 nitrite의 생성량이 유의하게 감소되었다. PGE2의 생성량은 LPS처리에 의하여 정상세포에 비하여 약 14배 이상 증가되었으며 BS추출물을 100 및 200 ㎍/㎖의 농도로 처리한 실험군에서는 농도의존적으로 유의하게 각각 55.1%, 39.9% 감소되었다. COX의 생성량은 LPS처리에 의하여 정상세포에 비하여 약 5.6배 증가되었으며 100 ㎍/㎖ 이상의 농도처리군에서는 농도의존적으로 유의하게 감소되었다. LPS처리후 IL-1β, IL-6, NF-α의 생성량은 정상세포에 비하여 급격하게 증가되었으며, 여러 농도(50, 100, 200 ㎍/㎖)의 BS추출물로 처리한 실험군에서는 각각 아무런 처치를 하지 않은 세포에 비하여 농도의존적인 각각의 생성량이 감소되었다. 특히 100 ㎍/㎖ 농도 이상의 BS처리군에서는 모두 통계학적 유의성이 인정되었다. 이러한 결과는 BS에서 염증억제 효과가 있음을 in vitro 연구에서 확인할 수 있었고, 향후 유효성분 추출을 통한 항염증 물질의 연구 또는 예방하거나 치료할 수 있는 염증 억제 성분의 분리 및 그 작용기전 연구에 중요한 기초 자료가 될 것이라 사료된다. Bulnesia sarmienti (BS), a traditional South American herbal medicine native to Gran Chaco, has been used to treat various human ailments. We investigated the cytotoxic activities and the inhibitory effects of BS bark extract(0, 50, 100 and 200 ㎍/㎖) on the production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂ ), cyclooxygenase (COX) and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (100 ng/㎖)-stimulated murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7. The levels of NO, COX, PGE2 production and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) were measured by ELISA kit. Cell viability, as measured by the MTT assay, showed that BS extract had no significant cytotoxicity in RAW264.7 cells. BS extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced NO, PGE₂ and COX production accompanied by an attenuation of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α formation in macrophages. These results suggest that BS extract has potential as an herbal medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Purpose: Although it is well known thatmortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular diseases are higher in salt-sensitive subjects than in salt-resistant subjects, their underlying mechanisms related to obesity remain unclear. Here, we focused on salt-sensitive gene variants unrelated to monogenic obesity that interacted with sodium intake in humans. Methods: This review was written based on the modified 3rd step of Khans" systematic review. Instead of the literature, subject genes were based on candidate genes screened from our preliminary Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS). Finally, literature related to five genes strongly associated with salt sensitivity were analyzed to elucidate the mechanism of obesity. Results: Salt sensitivity is a measure of how blood pressure responds to salt intake, and people are either salt-sensitive or salt-resistant. Otherwise, dietary sodium restriction may not be beneficial for everyone since salt sensitivity may be associated with inherited susceptibility. According to our previous GWAS studies, 10 candidate genes and 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with salt sensitivity were suggested, including angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), α- adducin1 (ADD1), angiotensinogen (AGT), cytochrome P450 family 11-subfamily β-2 (CYP11β-2), epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), G-protein b3 subunit (GNB3), G protein-coupled receptor kinases type 4 (GRK4 A142V, GRK4 A486V), 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-2 (HSD 11β-2), neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down regulated 4 like (NEDD4L),and solute carrier family 12(sodium/chloride transporters)-member 3 (SLC 12A3). We found that polymorphisms of salt-sensitive genes such as ACE, CYP11β-2, GRK4, SLC12A3, and GNB3 may be positively associated with human obesity. Conclusion: Despite gender, ethnic, and age differences in genetics studies, hypertensive obese children and adults who are carriers of specific salt-sensitive genes are recommended to reduce their sodium intake. We believe that our findings can contribute to the prevention of early-onset of chronic diseases in obese children by facilitating personalized diet-management of obesity from childhood to adulthood.
