Xenotransplantation of porcine organs has the potential to overcome the severe shortage of human tissues and organ available for human transplantation. however, it remains various hurdles for clinical xenotransplantation. In pig and mouse xenotransplantation, porcine xenograft evoke a strong cellular rejection response in immunocompetent host and grafts are destroyed within a week. This cellular immune response could involved both T cells and NK cells. A number of groups have shown that human NK cells can recognize and damage porcine endothelial cells. In addition, human T cells can respond to porcine endothelial cells through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Cellular rejection of porcine tissues requires T cells, particularly CD4^(+) cells. A new cytokine recombinant human interleukin-32α,β(IL-32α,β) has a role innate and acquired immune system. In order to investigate the role of recombinant mouse IL-18 and recombinant human IL-32α,β in xenograft rejection, we transplanted the PK(15) cells to C57BL/6 mice with or without intraperitoneal injection of recombinant mouse IL-18 or recombinant human IL-32 α,β. It was analyzed the population of NK cell, T cell and B cell in the C57BL/6 mice transplanted with PK(15) cells and recombinant mouse IL-18 or recombinant human IL-32α,β by flow cytometry analysis. As a result, lymph node and thymus of PK15/IL18, PK15/IL32α and PK15/IL32β injected group were increased to T cell activation population than normal injected groups. CD8^(+) T cells were decreased in lymph node of PK15/IL18, PK15/IL32α and PK15/IL32β injected groups. CD4^(+) T cells were increased in lymph node cell of PK15/IL32α and PK15/IL32β injected group and also, B cell population were increased in lymph node cell and spleen of PK15/IL18, PK15/IL32α and PK15/IL32β injected group. Therefore, we suggest that recombinant mouse IL-18 and recombinant human IL-32α,β suppress xenograft rejection in cellular xenotransplantation.

황미선(Mi Sun Hwang),표재성(Jaesung Pyo),김현진(Hyun Jin Kim),도선길(Sun Gil Do),송일대(Il Dae Song),김강민(Kang Min Kim) 한국생명과학회 2022 생명과학회지 Vol.32 No.5

본 연구에서는 표고버섯(Lentinula edodes)을 자외선 조사를 통한 ergocaciferol (비타민 D₂) 함량을 증진시킨 추출물을 이용하여 염증 및 알레르기 반응에 미치는 효과를 확인하였다. 표고버섯 추출물의 항염증 및 항알레르기 효능은 LPS로 활성화된 대식세포(RAW 264.7)와 PMA와 A23187에 의해 활성화된 비만세포(RBL-2H3)로부터 분비 또는 발현되는 TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-4와 같은 cytokine과 histamine 분비량을 측정하여 관찰하였다. LPS에 의해 활성화된 대식세포에서 자외선 조사 표고버섯 추출물 처리에 의해 pro-inflammatory cytokine인 TNF-α와 IL-6의 분비량을 ELISA 방법으로 측정하였을 때 현저히 감소함을 확인하였고 mRNA 발현 또한 감소됨을 확인하였다. 비만세포에 자외선 조사 표고버섯 추출물과 PMA, A23187을 함께 처리한 경우 비만세포의 탈과립에 의해 분비되는 histamine의 양이 유의적으로 감소함을 확인하였고 IL-4의 발현양 또한 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 자외선 조사에 의해 비타민 D₂ 함량을 증진시킨 표고버섯 추출물이 염증과 알레르기 반응의 cytokine의 발현을 저해하는 것으로 보아 염증 및 알레르기 질환의 예방과 치료에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. In this study, the effects of UV irradiation-enhanced ergocalciferol (vitamin D₂) content containing Lentinula edodes extract on inflammation and allergic responses were investigated in vitro. The anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of the mushroom extract were tested by estimating the cytokine secretions, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in LPS-activated macrophages (RAW 264.7), or histamine release in PMA and A23187-activated mast cells (RBL-2H3). Under the condition of macrophage activation with LPS, mushroom extract significantly reduced the secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6, and their mRNA expression also matched the observation. The current mushroom extract also significantly reduced the amount of mast cell degranulation-induced histamine secretion from PMA- and A23187-treated mast cells as well as the reduced secretion of IL-4. These results suggest that mushroom extract, which has increased ergocalciferol content by UV irradiation, inhibits the expression of cytokines in inflammation and allergic reactions; therefore, it can be used effectively for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory and allergic diseases.

Kim, Kun-Yong,Kim, Jae Kwang,Han, Seung Hyun,Lim, Jong-Seok,Kim, Keun Il,Cho, Dae Ho,Lee, Myeong-Sok,Lee, Jeong-Hyung,Yoon, Do-Young,Yoon, Suk Ran,Chung, Jin Woong,Choi, Inpyo,Kim, Eunjoon,Yang, Young American Association of Immunologists 2006 Journal of Immunology Vol.176 No.10

<P>NK cells are a key component of innate immune systems, and their activity is regulated by cytokines and hormones. Adiponectin, which is secreted from white adipose tissues, plays important roles in various diseases, including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. In this study the effect of adiponectin on NK cell activity was investigated. Adiponectin was found to suppress the IL-2-enhanced cytotoxic activity of NK cells without affecting basal NK cell cytotoxicity and to inhibit IL-2-induced NF-kappaB activation via activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase, indicating that it suppresses IL-2-enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity through the AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated inhibition of NF-kappaB activation. IFN-gamma enhances NK cell cytotoxicity by causing an increase in the levels of expression of TRAIL and Fas ligand. The production of IFN-gamma, one of the NF-kappaB target genes in NK cells, was also found to be suppressed by adiponectin, accompanied by the subsequent down-regulation of IFN-gamma-inducible TRAIL and Fas ligand expression. These results clearly demonstrate that adiponectin is a potent negative regulator of IL-2-induced NK cell activation and thus may act as an in vivo regulator of anti-inflammatory functions.</P>

Indicators of environmental conditions qualitatively and quantitatively describe the state of the environment and natural resources, and the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) has initiated and suggested AEIs (Agri-Environmental Indicators) to assess trends over time of the effects of agriculture on the environment and the effectiveness and efficiency of agricultural and environmental policy measures since 1990's. This study aims to develop the state indicators of water quality for agricultural water, surface and groundwater, to evaluate the environmental impacts of agricultural activities and policies by qualifying the environmental levels of a nation. Status indicators were calculated according to the agricultural water quality standards of OECD and Korea, and their trends were analyzed over time. Particularly, nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) status indicators of ground water in 2013 were significantly lower than the ones in 2000. Overall, the water quality indicators of surface water in 2013 were higher than the ones in 2012, except for pH and DO. The groundwater quality indicators in 2013 were lower than those of previous years. The optimal management indicators were calculated to assess agricultural surface water and groundwater quality. The findings of this study indicated that the state indicators could play a significant role to establish policies and procedures for managing and conserving water resources. This study also discussed water pollution caused by agricultural and industrial effluents.

Tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β increases CTRP1 expression in adipose tissue

Kim, Kun-yong,Kim, Hwa Young,Kim, Jae Hyeong,Lee, Chul-Ho,Kim, Do-Hyung,Lee, Young Ho,Han, Seung Hyun,Lim, Jong-Seok,Cho, Dae Ho,Lee, Myeong-Sok,Yoon, Sukjoon,Kim, Keun Il,Yoon, Do-Young,Yang, Young Elsevier 2006 FEBS letters Vol.580 No.16

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>CTRP1, a member of the CTRP superfamily, consists of an N-terminal signal peptide sequence followed by a variable region, a collagen repeat domain, and a C-terminal globular domain. CTRP1 is expressed at high levels in adipose tissues of LPS-stimulated Sprague-Dawley rats. The LPS-induced increase in CTRP1 gene expression was found to be mediated by TNF-α and IL-1β. Also, a high level of expression of CTRP1 mRNA was observed in adipose tissues of Zucker diabetic fatty (<I>fa/fa</I>) rats, compared to Sprague-Dawley rats in the absence of LPS stimulation. These findings indicate that CTRP1 expression may be associated with a low-grade chronic inflammation status in adipose tissues.</P>

김도순(Do-Soon Kim),박정은(Jueng-Eun Park),서권일(Kwon-Il Seo),고성룡(Sung-Ryong Ko),이종원(Jong-Won Lee),도재호(Jae-Ho Do),이성태(Sung-Tae Yee) 고려인삼학회 2006 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.30 No.3

본 연구에서는 정관장 홍삼의 물(water) extract, 식용발효 주정 extract 및 홍삼 추출물로부터 분리 제조한 crude saponin을 이용하여 면역반응을 매개하는 수지상세포의 활성효과에 대하여 알아보았다. 그 결과 홍삼시료 중, crude saponin 100 ㎍/㎖을 처리하였을 때 수지상세포의 세포표면분자인 MHC class II, CD40, CD80, CD86의 발현이 증가하였으며, phagocytosis는 감소하였다. 또한 홍삼시료를 처리한 수지상세포와 allogeneic T세포를 함께 배양하였을 때, 홍삼시료의 물 extract, 식용발효주정 extract, crude saponin 모두 allogeneic T세포의 증식반응을 유도하였고, IL-2와 IFN-γ의 생산량을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 CD4? syngeneic T세포와 CD8? syngeneic T세포의 반응에서도 T세포의 증식반응을 높게 유도하였으며, CD4? syngeneic T세포에서 IL-2와 IFN-γ의 생산량을 증가시키고, CD8? syngeneic T세포에서는 IFN-γ 생산량을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 crude saponin의 경우 수지상세포의 세포표면 공동자극분자의 발현을 유도하고 성숙을 유도함으로써 T세포의 활성을 증진시키는 것으로 생각되며, 물 extract와 식용발효주정 extract는 crude saponin과는 다른 기작으로 T세포 활성화를 유도하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 실험에 사용한 홍삼시료, 즉 물 extract, 식용발효주정 extract, crude saponin 모두 수지상세포의 활성을 유도하는 물질로써 암항원 특이적 T세포 활성화를 이용한 항암치료에 이용할 수 있는 가능성이 있다고 사료된다. Ginseng is a medicinal herb widely used in Asian countries. Dendritic cells(DCs) play a pivotal role in the initiation of T cell-mediated immune responses, making them an attractive cellular adjuvant for use in cancer vaccines. In this study, we examined the effects of Red-ginseng(water extract, edible and fermented ethyl alcohol extract, crude saponin) on the DCs phenotypic and functional maturation. Immature DCs were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and the generated immature DCs were stimulated by water extract, edible and fermented ethyl alcohol extract, crude saponin and LPS, respectively, for 24hours. The expression of surface co-stimulatory molecules, including MHC(major histocompatibility complex) class II, CD40, CD80 and CD86, was increased on DCs that were stimulated with crude saponin, but antigen-uptake capacity was decreased. The antigen-presenting capacity of Red-ginseng extracts-treated DCs as analyzed by allogeneic T cells proliferation and IL-2, IFN-γ production was increased. Furthermore, CD4? and CD8? syngeneic T cell(OVA-specific) proliferation and IFN-γ production was significantly increased. However, CD4? syngeneic T cell secreted higher levels of IL-2 in responding but not CD8? syngeneic T cell. These results indicate the immunomodulatory properties of Red-ginseng extracts, which might be therapeutically useful in the control of cancers and immunodeficient diseases through the up-regulation of DCs maturation.
