Peroxiredoxin V, an atypical thioredoxin peroxidase, is widely expressed in mammalian tissues. In addition, Prdx V is localized in mitochondria, peroxisome, cytosol, and nucleus. Prdx V has been reported to protect a wide range of cellular environments as antioxidant enzyme, and its dysfunctions may be implicated in several diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disease. Identification and relative quantification of proteins affected by Prdx V may help identify novel signaling mechanisms that are important for oxidative stress response. However, the role of Prdx V in the modulation of hypoxia‐related cellular response is not studied yet. In order to examine the function of endogenous Prdx V in hypoxic condition in vivo, we generated a transgenic mouse model with Prdx V siRNA expression controlled by U6 promoter. Of many tissues, the knockdown of Prdx V expression was displayed in kidney, lung, and liver, but not spleen and skin. We conducted on the basis of nano‐UPLC‐MSE proteomic study to identify the Prdx V‐affected protein networks in hypoxic kidneys. In this study, we identified protein networks associated with oxidative stress, fatty acid metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Our results indicated that Prdx V affected to regulation of kidney homeostasis under hypoxia stress.

Red blood cells (RBCs) have been studied as models for infectious diseases, various symptoms of anemia, hemolysis, and erythrocyte aging. Although do not directly affect RBCs, other diseases may cause RBC physiological alterations that could be advanced for diagnostic aim or to convince better understanding of a certain pathological pattern. In this study, comparative RBC proteomics between healthy and abnormal conditions involve to promote aging related‐biomarker discovery. Peroxiredoxin II (Prdx II; a typical 2‐Cys Prdx) has been originally isolated from erythrocytes, and its structure and peroxidase activity have been adequately studied. Mice absent to Prdx II proteins had heinz bodies in their peripheral blood, and morphologically aged cells were detected in the dense RBC fractions, which contained markedly higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, a labeling experiment with the thiol‐modifying reagent biotinylated iodoacetamide (BIAM) in Prdx II‒/‒ mice revealed that a variety of RBC proteins were highly oxidized. To identify oxidation‐sensitive proteins in Prdx II‒/‒ mice, we performed RBC comparative proteome analysis by nano‐UPLC‐MSE shotgun proteomics with relative protein quantitative analysis. We found oxidation‐sensitive 18 membrane and 41 cytosol proteins from 32 and 85 peptides containing cysteine oxidation, and analyzed comparative expression pattern in healthy RBCs of Prdx II+/+ mice (W1), healthy RBCs of Prdx II‒/‒ mice (K1), and abnormal RBCs of Prdx II‒/‒ mice (K2). These proteins belonged to cellular functions related with RBC lifespan maintain, such as cytoskeleton, stress‐induced proteins, amino acid/nucleic acid metabolic enzymes, signal transduction, and molecular transporters. Furthermore, protein networks among identified oxidation sensitive proteins were analyzed to associate with aging consequence. Consequently, we expected that RBC proteome may provide clues to understand redox‐imbalanced diseases.

본 연구는 과학 영재 학생의 과학 관련 태도와 과학 불안도와의 관계가 어떠한 상관을 보이고 있고, 과학 관련 태도와 과학 불안도가 과학 영재 프로그램에 참여하기 전과 참여한 후에 어떻게 변화하는지를 보았다. 이에 따라 과학 영재 교육 프로그램에 참여하고 있는 148명의 중학생들을(남학생 : 95명, 여학생 53명)대상으로 과학 관련 태도 검사와 과학 불안도 검사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 과학 관련 태도와 과학 불안도의 관계는 사전 검사에서 뚜렷한 부적 상관을 보였으나 사후 검사에서는 부분적으로 정적 상관이 나타났고 영재 프로그램 참여 후 과학 영재들의 과학 관련 태도는 낮아졌고 과학 불안도는 증가하였다. 이 연구의 흥미로운 점은, 여러 선행 연구결과와는 달리 영재 프로그램에 참여한 후 남학생이 여학생보다 과학 관련 태도가 낮아졌고 과학 불안도가 증가하였다는 점이다. This study examined scientifically gifted students' science attitude, anxiety, and their relationship. In addition, sex differences in these variables were investigated. The main interest of the study, however, was to explore how scientifically gifted students' science attitude and anxiety have changed before and after a gifted education experience. One hundred and forty-eight middle school students (95 boys and 53 girls) who enrolled in a gifted education program participated in the present study. The results indicate an increase in science anxiety and a decrease in science attitude after the six-month gifted program experience. Negative correlations between science attitude and anxiety were found in pre-test, but some positive relationship existed in post-test. Interestingly, after the specialized gifted program, male students' science attitudes were lowered significantly. In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in female students. Results of the study were discussed in relation to the programming issues for the scientifically gifted.

연구배경:췌도세포 이식은 시술이 간편하고 안전하기 때문에 반복이식이 가능하여 그 동안 여러 센터에서 반복이식의 성공을 보고한 바 있다. 국내에서도 본 병원을 비롯하여 몇몇 센터에서 췌도세포 이식이 활발히 시도되고 있으나 사람에서의 동종이식 및 동종 이식의 반복시행은 보고된 바 없는 실정이다. 저자 등은 국내 최초로 췌도세포 동종이식을 시행하여, 혈청 C­펩타이드가 증가하고 인슐린 요구량이 감소하였으며, 혈당농도와 당화혈색소의 안정을 보였다. 그러나 이식 70일 후 다시 인슐린 요구량이 증가하고 C­펩타이드가 감소하여 췌도세포 이식을 다시 시행한 바 있다. 2차 이식 후 70여일이 지난 현재 다시 혈청 C­펩타이드가 증가하고, 인슐린 요구량이 더 감소되어 췌도세포 이식에서 반복 시행의 유용성을 보고하는 바이다. 방법:환자는 32세 남자로 17년전 당뇨병 진단 후 인슐린 치료 중이었으며, 3년전 부터는 만성신부전증으로 혈액툭석을 하고있었다. 1999년 12월 25일 신장이식을 하였고 3일 후 췌도이식을 하였으며, 두번째 이식은 70일 후 시행하였다. 췌도분리는 변형된 Recordi방법과 비연속성 자당 농도차(discontinuous density gradient)를 이용하였으며 분리한 췌도는 배양 후 환자의 신장기능이 정상화되고 미생물학 검사에서 음성을 확인한 후 경피경간으로 간문맥을 접근하여 16G 폴리 에틸렌 카테터를 이용하여 간실질에 이식하였다. 결과:1차 췌도이식시 순수분리전 췌도수는 210,000개, 순수분리후 획득한 췌도수는 90,000개, 순도 95%, 세포양 1.0mL 이었고, 2차 췌도이식시 순수분리전 췌도수는 420,000개, 순수분리후 획득한 췌도수는 370,000개, 순도 95%, 세포양 1.5mL 이었다. 1,2차 모두 간문맥을 통해 약 20분에 걸쳐 간실질에 주입하였다. 췌도이식전 인슐린요구량은 75∼75U/일, HbA1e 8∼10%, C­펩타이드 0.6ng/mL 였으며, 1차 췌도이식수 7일째 인슐린 요구량은 40U/일, C­펩타이드 1.5ng/mL, FPS 109mg/mL 였고, 40일 추적관찰 후 인슐린 요구량이 36U/일, C­펩타이드 1.8ng/mL, HbA1e 6.5∼7.0%로 안정되었다. 그러나 이식 50일째부터 인슐린 요구량이 50∼56U/일, C­펩타이드 0.6ng/mL, FPS 130∼200mg/dL로 혈당 조절이 불안정하여 다시 췌도이식을 시행하였다. 2차 이식후 50일이 경과한 현재, 인슐린 요구량은 26U/일, C­펩타이드 1.8ng/mL, FPS 90∼120mg/dL로 다시 안정되었다. 결론:췌도이식은 반복이식이 가능하며, 본 환자의 경우 인슐린요구량 감소, 혈당의 안정화 및 C­펩타이드가 상승하여 이식한 췌도의 기능을 확인할 수 있었고, 향후 스테로이드 등 면역억제가 유지 용량으로 감량되면 인슐린 요구량은 더 감소될 것으로 기대된다. Over the past 20 years, significant advances have been made in human islet transplantation. However, cases of prolonged insulin independence after islet allotransplantation have rarely been reported and over time, a slight, gradual decrease in insulin secretion appears to occur, as suggested by the lower C-peptide. Although preliminary clinical success achieved over the past few years has been considerably higher with whole pancreatic transplant than with isolated islet grafts, both approaches remain experimental. Islet grafts might gain, over time, increasing credibility and might eventually provide an easier alternative in terms of grafting procedures and patient management, as compared with the more "traumatizing" whole-pancreas transplantation. Also, using islet, re-transplantation is possible. But it is not known whether re-transplantation of islet could be suitable for those patients who lost grafted islet function. The aim of the present study was to investigate the benefits of re-transplantation of islet in previously simultaneous islets-kidney transplant (SIK) patient who have lost graft function. Methods : The recipient was a 32 year old male. First islet transplantation was underwent at December 25, 1999. However, the grafted islets lost function after 70 days. So we performed re-transplantation of islets. The isolation of islet was conducted sterilely on a laminarflow hood and isolated by a modified Recordimethod. The islet was injected slowly into the liver via a cannular placed in the potalvein for 20 minutes. Results : Transplanted islets were 90,000 IEq at first islet transplantation, 370,000 IEq at second islet transplantation. The insulin requirement was reduced from 75-85 to 35-40 U/day, the basal C-peptide level was 1.5 ng/mL at 7 days posttransplant Unfortunately, the grafted islets lost function after 70 days. After second transplantation, the insulin requirement was reduced to 26 U/day. Conclusions : Despite the continuous need for exogenous insulin therapy, islet transplantation can prevent wide glucose fluctuations, thus resulting in normalization of glycemic control and improvement in HbAlc, and also, show that islets can be successfully and safely re-transplanted intraportally in patients who have lost previously grafted islet function (J Kor Diabetes Asso 457~466, 2000).

Targeting Multiple Myeloma Cell Death with Polyphenol EGCG

Tae‐Hoon Lee,Hee‐Young Yang,Hoon‐In Choi,Ung Yang,Kyoung‐Jin Chung,Lina Ren 한국동물생명공학회(구 한국동물번식학회) 2011 발생공학 국제심포지엄 및 학술대회 Vol.2011 No.1

(‐)‐Epigallocatechin 3‐gallate (EGCG) is a potent antioxidant polyphenol in green tea that acts as an anticancer agent via both direct and indirect pathways. Although the relationship between EGCG’s anticancer effects and its antioxidant activity is not fully understood, it is known that EGCG stimulates production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce oxidative stress leading to cell death. In IM9 multiple myeloma cells, EGCG acted in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner to induce apoptotic cell death. Among the antioxidant enzymes expressed in IM9 cells, levels of peroxiredoxin (Prdx) V were selectively and significantly reduced by EGCG. Moreover, the ROS scavenger NAC completely inhibited EGCG‐induced apoptosis and PrdxV reduction, while overexpression of PrdxV, but not a PrdxVC48S mutant, protected IM9 cells from EGCG‐induced apoptosis. EGCG‐induced reductions in cell viability and PrdxV levels were also observed in primary CD138+ multiple myeloma cells from patients. These results suggest that PrdxV is a key target via which EGCG mediates its anticancer effects.

Kyung-Tae Kwon,Gi Jung Kim,Tae Yang Kim,Jin-A Yu,Su-Young Lee,Ji-Yoon Hong,Ye Lim Jang,Tessema Haimanot Miticu,Young-In Kwon 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

In this study, Nipa palm extract by solvent were investigated for their anti-hyperglycemic and using in-vitro, in-vivo animal models. In-vitro study, we investigated the inhibitory activities of Nipa palm stems and flower extracts by solvent against various digestive enzymes such as α-glucosidase, sucrase, maltase, and glucoamylase. In addition, α-amylase inhibitory activity, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, total phenolic and flavonoid content were measured. Among solvent extract, stem water extract (SWE) had the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (3.6 mg/ml of IC50) and high sucrase inhibitory activity (0.28 mg/ml IC50). Furthermore, the extracts were investigated for in-vivo post-prandial blood anti-hyperglycemic effect using Sprague-Dawley(SD) rat model. The maximum blood glucose concentration(Cmax) in SWE-treated SD-rat (0.5 g-ΚBE/kg-bw) was significantly lower than in untreated SD-rats (199.9±10.4 vs. 222.0±15.4 hr·mg/dL, p<0.05). These results indicate that SWE may improve exaggerated post-prandial spikes in blood glucose via inhibition of intestinal α-glucosidase and thus delays carbohydrate absorption in colon.

楊寅台,後藤惠之輔,全炳德 江原大學校 附設 環境硏究所 1997 環境硏究 Vol.14 No.-

Recently, due to the rapid progress of industry, pollution problems related to industrial and domestic waste had become a serious issue to be taken in consideration. In the past, domestic and industrial wastes were used to be thrown into the sea for the purpose of land reclamation. Nowadays, there are some procedures used in dealing with reducing the size of these wastes such as recycling and fill material in earth works. In Japan, the weight of domestic and industrial wastes collected in 1990 was about 200million tons. This huge amount was just much enough to construct the KANSAI International Airport. One can imagine how wide is the surface area needed for that purpose. This paper presents an investigation about Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park in Osaka City and the main wastes dumping site if Seoul City, Korea now. Satellite data were used here study the changes of temperature in landfil site with the passage of time. Using satellite data is believed to be a suitable method in monitoring the settlement and consolidation of the waste materials.

연구배경:최근 당뇨병의 새로운 치료법으로 시도되고 있는 췌도이식은 충분한 췌도수의 확보와 췌도생존율을 높이기 위한 면역억제제 사용이 제한점이 되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이식 전 충분한 췌도 수의 확보를 위해 분리한 췌도를 냉동보존하는 방법을 확립하고 냉동보존한 백서 췌도세포의 시험관내 그리고 생체내 기능을 조사하였다. 방법:분리한 백서의 췌장소도를 48시간 배양한 후 한 시험관당 췌도세포 1000개씩 나누었다. 냉동보존은 6개의 시험관에 DMSO를 첨가한 후 초 냉각(supercooling), 핵화(nucleation)단계를 거친 후 99% isopropanol과 액체질소가 들어있는 dewer를 이용하여-0.25℃/분의 냉각속도로 -40℃까지 단계적으로 얼린후-70℃ 액체질소 탱크에 보관했다. 해동은 냉동시킨 vial들을 액체 질소 태으에서 꺼내 37℃ 항온조에 담가 급격히 해동시킨 후, 원심분리하여 상층액을 제거하고 각 vial에 0.75M sucrose 용액을 가한 후, 10% fetal calf serum이 함유된 RPMI 1640 media에서 배양하였다 각각 6개의 시험관에서 해동한 췌도들을 광학현미경 및 형광현미경하에서 췌도의 모양과 생존율에 대해 조사하고 인슐린 정적반응을 알아보았다. 또한 분리한 췌도를 냉동보존하지 않고 이식한 경우를 대조군(6마리)과 생체내 기능을 비교하였다. 결과:① 냉동보존후 획득한 췌도의 수와 생존율 해동후 획득한 췌도의 수는 해동시킨 당일날이 902±21, 24시간 배양 후에는 857±16, 72시간 후에는 817±18개로 점차 감소되었다. AO/PI 염색상 각 췌도의 생존율은 냉동 전을 100으로 하였을 때 해동당일, 24시간 후, 72시간 후가 각각 60±5, 80±5, 90±5%로 해동후 3일간 배양하였을 때 냉동전의 수준으로 회복하였다. ② 냉동보존후 췌도의 포도당에 대한 정적 인슐린 분비능:냉동직후 감소된 경향을 보였으나 해동후 3일간 배양한 췌도의 인슐린 분비는 냉동전과 통계적으로 의미있는 차이가 없이 냉동보존 전의 수준으로 회복되었다. ③ 냉동보존후 췌도의 포도당에 대한 동적 인슐린 분비능:냉동보존한 췌도를 해동후 3일째의 인슐린 동적 분비능은 냉동 전과 마찬가지로 자극 인슐린의 반응의 제1기와 2기가 잘 관찰되었다. ④ 냉동보존한 췌도세포 이식 후 혈당 변화:스트렙토조토신으로 유도된 당뇨병 쥐에 췌도이식 후 혈당은 냉동보존한 췌도이식군에서 대조군에 비해 혈당의 조절효과가 더 오래 지속되었다. 결론:소동물에서 단계적 온도 하강법을 이용한 췌도세포 냉동보존법을 확립하였으며 이는 기능, 구조 및 생존율에 큰 이상을 보이지 않았으므로 장차 사람의 췌도세포 동종이식시 부족한 췌도세포수를 극복하고 면역반응을 줄일 수 있는 매우 유용한 방법이 될 것으로 판단된다. Background : Although islet transplantation has been attempted to reverse the state of diabetes, achieving a critical number of islets and modulating the immune response limit the success of islet transplantation. Cryo-preservation of islets offers many important benefits for islet transplantation by collecting islets with a wide variety of HLA phenotypes and islet MHC expression. The aims of this study was to determine the optimal conditions for cryo-preservation by using a controlled cooling method and to evaluate in vitro and in vivo functional properties of the cryo-preserved islets. Methods : Collagenase-isolated, Ficoll-purified islets were cultured for 48 hours. They were aliquoted into freezing tubes (1000 islets per tube), equilibrated with 2M dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in three steps, supercooled, nucleated, and controll-cooled at rate of 0.25℃/min to - 40℃ prior to storage at - 196℃. Rapid thawing and removal of DMSO with 0.75 M sucrose preceded 48 hour of culture and the morphology, viability, glucose-induced insulin secretion, and in vivo function of rats transplanted with cryopreserved islets was reexamined. Results : ① Recovery was 90.2±0.2%, 85.7±0.1% and 81.7±0.1% immendiately after, 24 hours and 72 hours after thawing respectively. The viability was 60±5%, 80±5%, 90±5% immediately after, 24 hours and 72 hours after thawing respectively. ② The glucose-stimulated-insulin secretion (GSIS) tended to decrease immediately after thawing, but GSIS increase to the level of pre-cryopreservation 72 hours after thawing. ③ The in dynamic GSIS, the first and the second phase of insulin secretion were well preserved in islets cultured for 72 hours after thawing. ④ The cryopreserved islets were cultured for 3 days and transplanted into renal sub-capsular space of streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. The duration of normoglycemia in the STZ-induced diabetic rats transplanted with cryopreserved islets was significantly longer than of the fresh islets. Conclusion : The optimal condition of cryopreservation using the controlled cooling method was established in rat pancreatic islets. This cryopreservation method can be a feasible approach for human islet transplantation (J Kor Diabetes Asso 26:64~74, 2002).
