TALP-35 purified from human term placenta is known to increase microtubule polymerization and stabilize the polymerized microtubule. To examine the effect of TALP-35 on immune system this study was performed. MTT assay was performed to investigate the effect of TALP-35 on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells. TALP-35 dose dependently suppress the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells at high concentration (above 1 μM) in unstimulated cells, in case of 10 μM TALP-35 treated cells the suppression was 25% but in stimulated cells it was only 15%. Cosedimentation assay was carried out to investigate whether TALP-35 can bind to tubulin of RAW264.7, monocyte/macrophage lineage of mouse, and polymerize it. TALP-35 polymerize the tubulin of RAW264.7 cells and sedimented in dose-dependent manner. To investigate the effect of TALP-35 on the expression of iNOS protein western blotting was performed. The expression level of iNOS was decreased dose dependently in high concentration of TALP-35 treatment. To examine the activity of iNOS, secreted NO was determined by method based on Griess reaction. Interferon-γ and LPS-stimulated production of NO from RAW264.7 cells was decreased dose dependently above 0.1 μM concentration of TALP-35 and 50% is decreased at 10μM of it. This study shows TALP-35 can control cytokine induced-iNOS expression therefore it might control inflammatory diseases.

서해안 육상지역을 통과하는 조류의 이동생태를 파악하기 위해, 2014년 7월부터 2015년 6월까지 태안해안국립공원 학암포 지역의 조류상을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 관찰된 조류는 총 14목 30과 88종 23,230개체이며, 평균 조사일당 159.7개체가 관찰되었다. 전체 우점종은 괭이갈매기 Larus crassirostris 21.1%, 되새 Fringilla montifringilla 18.5%, 박새 Parus major 12.7%, 붉은머리오목눈이 Paradoxornis webbianus 8.2%, 노랑턱멧새 Emberiza elegans 5.8% 순이었다. 이동시기인 5월과 10월에는 각각 56종, 조사일당 평균 310.5개체로 가장 많은 종과 개체수가 기록되었다. 종과 개체수가 가장 적은 시기는 여름철인 8월로, 기록된 종 수는 24종이며 조사일당 평균 95개체가 관찰되었다. 종풍부도(R ) 지수는 가장 많은 종이 관찰된 5월에 가장 높았으나, 종다양도(H )와 종균등도(E )는 오히려 이동시기에 낮은 편으로 나타났으며, 이는 일부 상위 우점종의 개체수가 월등히 증가했기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 환경부, 문화재청, IUCN 등이 지정한 멸종위기 및 법정보호종은 총 9종이 관찰되었다. From July 2014 to Jun 2015, bird survey was conducted in Hakampo, Taeanhaean National Park. A total of 23,230 and 159.7 per day of birds representing 14 orders, 30 families, 88 species were observed. The most abundant species were the Black-tailed Gull Larus crassirostris (21.1%), the Brambling Fringilla montifringilla (18.5%), the Great Tit Parus major (12.7%), the Vinous-throated Parrotbill Paradoxornis webbianus (8.2%), Yellow-throated Bunting Emberiza elegans (5.8%). The number of species and individual was the highest in May and October, respectively, as 56 species and 310.5 individual per day were recorded. According to Korean Ministry of Environment, Cultural Herigage Adinistration of Korea and IUCN Red List, a total of 9 protected species were recorded during the survey.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker and risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. However, the mechanism through which CRP induces myocardial damage remains unclear. This study aimed to determine how CRP damages cardiomyocytes via the change of mitochondrial dynamics and whether survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein, exerts a cardioprotective effect in this process. We treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes with CRP and found increased intracellular ROS production and shortened mitochondrial length. CRP treatment phosphorylated ERK1/2 and promoted increased expression, phosphorylation, and translocation of DRP1, a mitochondrial fission-related protein, from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria. The expression of mitophagy proteins PINK1 and PARK2 was also increased by CRP. YAP, a transcriptional regulator of PINK1 and PARK2, was also increased by CRP. Knockdown of YAP prevented CRP-induced increases in DRP1, PINK1, and PARK2. Furthermore, CRP-induced changes in the expression of DRP1 and increases in YAP, PINK1, and PARK2 were inhibited by ERK1/2 inhibition, suggesting that ERK1/2 signaling is involved in CRP-induced mitochondrial fission. We treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes with a recombinant TAT-survivin protein before CRP treatment, which reduced CRP-induced ROS accumulation and reduced mitochondrial fission. CRP-induced activation of ERK1/2 and increases in the expression and activity of YAP and its downstream mitochondrial proteins were inhibited by TAT-survivin. This study shows that mitochondrial fission occurs during CRPinduced cardiomyocyte damage and that the ERK1/2-YAP axis is involved in this process, and identifies that survivin alters these mechanisms to prevent CRP-induced mitochondrial damage.

본 연구는 병원성 세균인 Chlamydia trachomatis(C. trachomatis)가 숙주세포에침습시 C. trachomatis의 병원성 인자와 C. trachomatis와 상호작용하는 숙주 세포막의 인자를 규명함으로써 숙주세포에 대한 감염율을 향상시켜 보다 향상된 진단 방법을 개발하기 위하여 수행하였다. C. trachomatis로 감염된 세포에서 기본소체의 막 단백질을 분리한 결과 각 혈청형의 39 kDa과 42 kDa에서 major outer membranes(MOMPs)이 관찰되었으며, 혈청형 E와 G의 MOMPs는 42.5 kDa으로 동일하였지만 혈청형 F, H, I, 그리고 K의 MOMPs는 각각 다르게 관찰되었다. C. trachomatis가 숙주세포로 침습시 관련된 병원성 인자에 대하여 조사하고자 단층세포로 배양된 배양용기에 C. trachomatis를 24, 48 그리고 73시간대별로 접종시켜 관찰한 결과 72시간의 MOMPs의 양이 가장 많이 증가하였으며 이 결과로 MOMPS이 C. trachomatis 병원성에 중요한 작용을 함을 확인할 수 있었다. C. trachomatis가 침습시 숙주세포의 막 단백질 변화양상을 관찰하기 위해 정상세포와 C. trachomatis로 1, 2, 3 그리고 4시간대별로 접종 시간을 달리한 숙주세포의 막 단백질을 분리한 결과 42 kDa의 단백질 양이 Chlamydia에 감염된 세포 내에서 증가됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이로 42 kDa의 막 단백질이 침습시 숙주세포 표면에 대한 수용체로서 작용함을 알 수 있었다. The present study was performed to analyze the pathogenic factors involved in the invasion process of Chlamydia trachomatis(C. trachomatis) into McCoy cells. In this study, elementary bodies(EBs) of C. trachomatis serotypes(E, F, G, H, I, K and LGV) could be isolated by the method of Percoll density gradient centrifugation and the pathogens of serotypes were also compared from whole-cell lysates by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel elelectrophoresis. All chlamydial serotypes showed a single predominant protein ranging from 39 to 42 kDa. The major outer membrane proteins(MOMPs) of the E and G serotypes had an identical molecular weight of 42.5 kDa. In contrast, the MOMPs of the F, H, I and K serotypes were showed different molecular weights of MOMPs. By immunoblotting with anti-MOMP antibody it was revealed that the quantify of MOMPs was time-dependently increased when McCoy cells were infected with Chlamydia for 24, 48 and 72 hr. These results indicated that MOMPs are closely related to chlamydial infection into the host cell.

박현진,김경원,조용석,이경호,강지연,최희원 충북대학교 의학연구소 2002 忠北醫大學術誌 Vol.12 No.2

호산성 과립세포는 타액선을 포함하여 갑상선, 부갑상선 등 주로 선조직에서 발견되는 커다란 과립상의 호산성 상피세포를 말한다. 호산성 과립세포종은 모든 타액선 종양중 약 1.5%의 비율로 발생하는 비교적 드문 양성 종양이며, 주로 노년의 이하선에서 발생하고 악하선과 소타액선에서는 드물게 발생한다. 임상적으로 크기는 약 3-4 ㎝이며 잘 분화된 낭으로 싸여있다. 조직학적 검사에서 광학현미경상 호산성 과립세포로 채워진 세포질이 관찰되며 전자현미경상 과립을 함유한 다량의 비대된 미토콘드리아가 관찰된다. 호산성 과립세포종은 본질적으로는 양성 종양이며 치료를 위하여 완전한 절제가 추천된다. 국소적인 재발은 드물며 다발성인 경우에는 재발하기도 한다. 증례는 38세의 남자 환자로서 구개부의 소타액선에 발생한 약 2.0×2.5 ㎝ 크기의 무통성의 종괴로 절제술을 시행하였으며, 광학현미경과 전자현미경을 이용한 조직병리 검사상 호산성 과립세포종으로 진단되었으며, 수술 후 특별한 합병증 없이 치유되었다. 저자들은 구개부의 소타액선에서는 아주 드물게 발생하는 호산성 과립세포종에 대하여 진단 및 치료를 시행하고 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. Oncocytes are large, granular, eosinophilic epithelial cells mainly found in many glandular tissue including salivary glands, the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal gland, testicle, fallopian tube, liver and stomach etc. Oncocytoma, which originate from oncocytes are uncommon benign neoplasm that present approximately 1.5% of all salivary gland tumors. They typically occur in parotid gland of elderly patients and rarely in submandibular gland or minor salivary gland. On gross examination, they are usually 3 to 4 ㎝ is size and possess a well-defined capsule. Histologically oncocytoma peculiarly consisted of oncocyte which has cytoplasm, filled with eosinophilic granules on light microscopy and a large number of enlarged and morphologically altered mitochondria by electron microscopy. Oncocytomas are essentially benign tumors and complete excision is recommended. Local recurrence is extremely rare, but when it occurs, it may be multifocal. We report a case of oncocytoma raised from minor salivary gland of palate in 38 years old male patient with literature.
