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.

RSV 와 인플루엔자 바이러스 A 형 감염에 의해 천명을 보이는 소아와 천식 소아에서 비인두 흡인액의 Interleukin-5 와 Interleukin-γ 치의 비교

오재원,이하백,김창렬,염명걸,문수지,박일규,강정옥 대한 소아알레르기 및 호흡기학회 1999 소아알레르기 및 호흡기학회지 Vol.9 No.2

목 적 : 호흡기 바이러스 감염은 소아에서 천식을 악화시키는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 영유아기의 천식이나 천명발생에 있어서 호홉기 바이러스의 역할에 대해서는 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않다. 소아기의 천명이 천식과 달리 하나의 독립된 질환인지, 아니면 같은 질환으로 달리 표현되는 것인지 논란이 되어왔다. 이에 본 저자들은 호흡기 바이러스 감염과 천명과의 상관관계와 기전을 이해하기 위하여 RSV 감염이나 influenza A 바이러스 감염에 의해 천명이 있는 소아와 바이러스가 증명되지 않고 천명이 있는 천식소아에서의 비인두 흡인액의 IL-5와 IFN-γ치를 측정하여 비교하였다. 방 법 : 호흡기 바이러스 감염군 38명(RSV감염군 21명, influenga A virus 감염군 17명), 바이러스가 증명되지 않은 천식환아군 12명, 정상 대조군 16명을 대상으로 double sandwich ELISA를 이용하여 비인두 흡인액에서 IL-5와 IFN-γ치를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : RSV 감영군에서 비인두 흡인액의 IL-5 평균치가 influenza A 바이러스군의 평균치보다 의미있게 높았으며, 천식군보다도 높은 양상을 보이나 의미있는 차이는 없었다 반면, influenza A 바이러스 감염군의 비인두 흡인액의 IFN-γ치가 RSV군에 비해 의미있게 높았으나 천식환아군이나 정상군에 비해 의미있게 높지는 않았다. 비인두 흡입액에서 IL-5와 IFN-γ치간의 상관관계는 없었다. 결 론 : RSV 감염군은 influenza A 바이러스 감염군에 비해 Th2 반응이 우세한 것으로 추정되며, 반면에 influenza A virus 감염군은 Th1 반응을 보이는 것을 알 수 있다. Background : Infection with respiratory virus has been shown to exacerbate asthma. However, the role of a respiratory virus in the pathogenesis of chronic asthma and/or wheezing in young children has not been clearly defined. And it also has been debated whether virus-induced wheezing in young children is an entity different from allergic asthma, or just a different expression of the same disease. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the importance of eosinophilic inflammation, comparing IL-5 and IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions in wheezing children with or without viral infection and the controls. Methods : We compared IL-5 and IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions from 38 non-asthmatic wheezing children with viral infections (RSV in 21 children, influenza A virus in 17 children), 12 asthmatic children without viral infections and 16 children as the controls. Results : The present study reported that RSV infection in children induced more releasing of IL-5 in nasopharyngeal secretions than the influenza A virus infected ones and the controls. On the other hand, the releasing of IFN-γ levels in nasopharyngeal secretions from children with influenza A virus infection was significantly higher than those of the children with RSV infection or asthmatic children. Conclusion : RSV infection in children may play a role in the immune response toward a Th2 phenotype as increasing IL-5 secretion in nasopharyngeal secretion. Increased IFN-γ production in response to the influenza A virus infection may be related to the effective Th1 responses.

Kim, Kyung Won,Lee, Kyung Eun,Hong, Jung Yeon,Kim, Mi Na,Heo, Won Il,Sohn, Myung Hyun,Kim, Kyu-Earn Springer International 2011 Lung Vol.189 No.5

<P>Asthma and atopy have a complex background that may result from the interaction of genes and the environment. Interleukin (IL)-10 is known to play various roles in immune-regulating and anti-inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effect of the IL-10 promoter polymorphisms on susceptibility to childhood asthma. We recruited 333 patients with atopic asthma, 55 with nonatopic asthma, and 248 normal controls. We performed a genetic association study of three genetic polymorphisms (IL-10 -1082A>G, IL-10 -819T>C, and IL-10 -592A>C) of the IL-10 promoter. There was no difference between atopic asthma, nonatopic asthma, and normal controls with respect to allele, genotype, or haplotype frequencies of these IL-10 polymorphisms. However, the -1082A>G polymorphism and ATA haplotype in the IL-10 promoter gene were associated with airway hyper responsiveness (AHR) and the -819T>C, -592A>C, and ATA and ACC haplotypes were also shown to be related to serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). Our results suggest that the polymorphisms within the IL-10 promoter may have a disease-modifying effect in the asthmatic airway.</P>

몇 가지 항균제가 시험관내에서 내독소와 TNF-α, IL-6 분비에 미치는 영향

최정현,문건웅,김명훈,이동건,박윤희,김상일,김태연,유진홍,김양리,신완식,강문원 대한화학요법학회 1997 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.15 No.2

To evaluate antibiotic-induced endotoxin release(AIER) and its correlation with some cytokines, we measured endotoxin level and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin6(IL-6) production in mononuclear cells in vitro after exposure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotics belonging to different class with two extreme concentrations. The tested concetration of antibiotics were set up according to peak serum level. The low concetration of ceftazidirne and low concentration of imiperiem increased AIER, but high concentration of ceftazideme, high concentration of ciprofloxacin, high concentration of cefoperazone/sulbactam, high concentration of amikacin, and high concentration of meropenem reduced AIER.Interestingly, combined treatment of these antibiotics markedly reduced AIER, But the major cyotkines, TNF-α and IL-6 were not affect by type and concettration of antibiotics, combined treatment of antibiotics, and level of endotoxin released by antiboitics. In this study, we observed AIER was different according to type of antibiotics, concentration of antibiotics, and combination of antibiotics, But AIER had poor correlation with TNF-α and IL-6 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It suggests that cytokine release is not solely dependent to endotoxin, but more complex cascade is needed. More invesfigations, such as endotoxin induced cytokine mRNA expression, relationship with penicillin-binding proteins and endotoxin-neutralizing effect of antibiotic itself, must be performed.

본 실험에서는 동양에서 예로부터 민간요법이나 한방에서 주로 많이 쓰여지고 있는 8가지 종류의 한약재에 대해서 면역억제제로써 사용 가능성을 실험하였다. 그 결과 당귀, 산사, 어성초, 오가피, 황기의 추출물은 동종항원에 반응하는 순수분리 T세포의 증식을 농도 의존적으로 억제시켰다. 또한 이들 T세포의 증식에 있어서 필수적인 IL-2를 포함한 cytokine 즉, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ의 생산량은 대조군에 비해 실험군에서 유의한 차이가 없었고 특히 T세포 증식에 필수적인 IL-2의 생산량의 변화가 거의 없었다. 이는 한약재에 의한 T세포의 증식억제 효과가 T세포증식에 필수적인 IL-2의 생산량을 억제하기 때문에 일어나는 결과가 아님을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 T세포의 살세포작용 억제를 직접적으로 측정하기 위하여 세포내 LDH의 양을 조사한 결과 모든 대조군에서 50%이상의 살세포작용 억제가 일어났고, 그중 특히 오가피와 황기에서는 100% 살세포작용 억제가 일어났다. 따라서 본 실험에 사용된 당귀, 산사, 어성초, 오가피, 황기 등의 5가지 약재가 부작용 없는 면역억제로써 사용 가능성이 높은 것으로 생각된다. In this experiment, we showed the immunosuppressive effects of herbal plant extracts on the alloantigen reactive proliferation and cytotoxicity. The extracts of Angelica gigas, Crataegus pinnatifida, Houttuynia cordata, Acanthopanax sessiliflorum and Astragalus membranaceus markedly suppressed on the pro- liferation of primary T cells stimulated with allogeneic spleen cells in a dose-dependent manner. The production of IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 in the alloreactive primary T cells showed no significant difference in the presence or absence of herbal plants extracts. Also the result of mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR)-induced cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) showed what is above a certain point 50% inhibition. Specially, the extracts of Acanthopanax sessiliflorum and Astragalus membranaceus com- pletely suppressed the killing activity of CTL. Theses results suggest that the extracts of 5 herbal plants can be used as immunosuppressive agents.

The β₃-adrenergic receptor is expressed in visceral adipose tissue in humans and is thought to contribute to the regulation of the resting metabolic rate and lipolysis. We studied the influence of a mutation in the β₃ -adrenergic receptor gene(Trp64Arg) on body fat distribution, central obesity, lipid metabolism in 65 healthy young male adults. One out of 65 subjects were homozygous (Arg/Arg) for the trp64Arg mutation, 17 subjects were heterozygous (Trp/Arg), and 47 lacked the mutation(Trp/Trp). The body weight, height, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio were similar between the subjects with- and without the mutation. Total body fat, abdominal fat amount, body fat distribution, serum total- and HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, and insulin concentrations were also not different according to the presence or absence of the mutation. These results suggested that Trp64Arg mutation in β₃-adrenergic receptor gene is not a major contributing factor for central obesity or change in lipid metabolism in Korean young adults.

Strategical Issues in Multiple-Objective Optimal Experimental Design

Kim Young-Il,Kahng Myung-Wook 한국통계학회 2006 Communications for statistical applications and me Vol.13 No.1

Many of statistical experimental designs have multiple goals. It is often impractical to use the single-objective criterion for this purpose. It is necessary to modify the existing optimum experimental design criteria. There exist three criteria handling this problem in general: compound, constrained, maxi-min approach. This paper extends Kahng and Kim's idea to develop another approach to incorporate several experimental design criteria in accordance of their importance in practical way. Furthermore this paper investigate its relationship with the maxi-min approach. It shows logically that the often realized infeasibility can be still avoided with the rank of importance of the objectives intact.

Anti-inflammatory Activity of an Ethanol Extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 Cells

Il Yun Jeong,Chang Hyun Jin,Yong Dae Park,Hyo Jung Lee,Dae Seong Choi,Myung Woo Byun,Yeung Ji Kim 한국식품영양과학회 2008 Preventive Nutrition and Food Science Vol.13 No.4

The anti-inflammatory activities of an ethanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. (CS) were investigated in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Result indicated that CS inhibited the LPS-induced NO production in a dose-dependent manner with an IC?? of 10.9 ㎍/mL. In addition, CS attenuated the iNOS mRNA and protein expression by inhibiting NF-κB activation. CS also suppressed the productions of IL-6 and MCP-1 in a dose-dependent manner, with IC?? values of 15.9 ㎍/mL and 5.47 ㎍/mL, respectively. In addition to the anti-inflammatory activities, CS decreased intracellular ROS formation in the same cells. In conclusion, CS inhibited the production of NO, IL-6 and MCP-1 via a suppression of the NF-κB activation and intracellular ROS generation.
