Kang, J. S.,Kim, S. O.,Kim, G.-Y.,Hwang, H. J.,Kim, B. W.,Chang, Y.-C.,Kim, W.-J.,Kim, C. M.,Yoo, Y. H.,Choi, Y. H. Spandidos Publications 2016 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR MEDICINE Vol.37 No.1
<P>In this study, we aimed to confirm the protective effects of garlic saponins against oxidative stress-induced cellular damage and to further elucidate the underlying mechanisms in mouse-derived C2C12 myoblasts. Relative cell viability was determined by 3-(4.5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2.5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Comet assay was used to measure DNA damage and oxidative stress was determined using 2 ',7 '-dichlorofluorescein diacetate to measure intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Western blot analysis and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based knockdown were used in order to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms. Our results revealed that garlic saponins prevented hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced growth inhibition and exhibited scavenging activity against intracellular ROS. We also observed that garlic saponins prevented H2O2-induced comet tail formation and decreased the phosphorylation levels of gamma H2AX expression, suggesting that they can prevent H2O2-induced DNA damage. In addition, garlic saponins increased the levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a potent antioxidant enzyme associated with the induction and phosphorylation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the translocation of Nrf2 from the cytosol into the nucleus. However, the protective effects of garlic saponins on H2O2-induced ROS generation and growth inhibition were significantly reduced by zinc protoporphyrin IX, an HO-1 competitive inhibitor. In addition, the potential of garlic saponins to mediate HO-1 induction and protect against H2O2-mediated growth inhibition was adversely affected by transient transfection with Nrf2-specific siRNA. Garlic saponins activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling, whereas a specific ERK inhibitor was able to inhibit HO-1 upregulation, as well as Nrf2 induction and phosphorylation. Taken together, the findings of our study suggest that garlic saponins activate the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway by enabling ERK to contribute to the induction of phase II antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, including HO-1 in C2C12 cells.</P>

RF-O₂ plasma 처리한 MgO 박막의 스퍼터링 수율을 집속이온빔 장치를 이용하여 측정하였다. 가속 전압 10 ㎸의 Ga 이온빔을 주사했을 때 plasma 처리하지 않은 MgO 박막의 스퍼터링 수율은 0.33 atoms/ion, RF-O₂ plasma 처리한 MgO 박막의 스퍼터링 수율은 0.20 atoms/ion 으로 RF-O₂ plasma 처리한 경우 스퍼터링 수율이 낮아졌다. 또한 XPS, AFM을 통해 plasma 처리로 인한 MgO 표면의 변화를 관찰하였다. MgO 박막에 RF-O₂ plasma 처리 한 후 XPS O 1s spectra의 binding energy와 FWHM 값이 각각 2.36 eV와 0.6167 eV 작아졌고 표면거칠기의 RMS 값 또한 0.32 ㎚ 작아졌다. We measured sputtering yield of RF O₂-plasma treated MgO protective layer for AC-PDP(plasma display panel) using a Focused Ion Beam System(FIB). A 10 ㎸ acceleration voltage was applied. The sputtering yield of the untreated sample and the treated sample were 0.33 atoms/ion and 0.20 atoms/ion, respectively. The influence of the plasma-treatment of MgO thin film was characterized by XPS and AFM analysis. We observed that the binding energy of the O 1s spectra, the FWHM of O 1s spectra and the RMS(root-mean-square) of surface roughness decreased to 2.36 eV, 0.6167 eV and 0.32 ㎚, respectively.

Fundamental combustion properties of gaseous methane (CH<SUB>4</SUB>)/oxygen (O<SUB>2</SUB>) coaxial jet flames in a single-element combustor are experimentally evaluated as a preliminary step for subsequent studies of injection at very low temperature or using liquid O<SUB>2</SUB> for CH<SUB>4</SUB>/O<SUB>2</SUB> bipropellants, recently appearing to be the oncoming liquid bipropellant. A combustion chamber with quartz windows, a single shear coaxial injector and an exhaust nozzle on the downstream of the chamber is considered for the present study. Focusing on the measurements of the ignition and combustion stability limits of the coaxial jet flames in the chamber, flame visualization is also conducted by OH<SUP>*</SUP> chemiluminescence, schlieren imaging and direct imaging. Results show the ignition limits restricted than the combustion stability limits. Flame behaviors are largely classified into two, the stably attached flame and the oscillating, liftoff (near-blowout) flame. Due to cooling effects on the wall of the chamber, stably liftoff flame is not observed. The stability of the flame is greatest at fuel-rich condition (based on the injected amounts of CH<SUB>4</SUB> and O<SUB>2</SUB>). From the flame visualization flame thickness is found to be smaller than the injector lip thickness and insensitive to injection conditions. The laminar-flow behavior near the injector exit due to the strong burning of pure O<SUB>2</SUB> is observed even for high Reynolds numbers (Re). The flame visualization also exhibits the recirculating O<SUB>2</SUB> that enhances burning in the combustor through the reaction with the outer fuel jet. The results of ignition limits, combustion stability limits and flame visualization can be used as a database for researches of modeling the gaseous CH<SUB>4</SUB>/O<SUB>2</SUB> jet flames in the combustion chamber.

<P>CoFe2O4/Pt/Pb(Zr0.3Ti0.7)O-3 thin films were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate in order to investigate the magnetoelectric properties of ferromagnetic/ferroelectric multilayer thin films. Thin Pt layer was introduced to prevent inter-diffusion between CoFe2O4 and Pb(Zr0.3Ti0.7)O-3 (PZT) layers. PZT thin film was grown directly on top of Pt substrate by utilizing sol-gel spin coating technique. In order to investigate the possible annealing effect on film microstructure and magnetoelectric properties, multilayer thin film stack was heat-treated at different temperatures ranging from 550 degrees C to 650 degrees C. The structural properties of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic behaviors were analyzed by measuring polarization and magnetization - electric and magnetic field hysteresis. Magnetoelectric coefficients were calculated by measuring magnetoelectric voltages using magnetoelectric measurement system. Both the magnetoelectric properties and the coupling effect of CoFe2O4/Pt/PZT films on ferromagnetic and magnetoelectric properties are discussed as a function of heat-treatment temperature.</P>

고에너지 중이온 원자핵과 핵건판의 충돌에서, 200GeV/핵자 유황이온에 의해 생성된 파쇄 헬륨핵(Z=2)의 실험실계의 방출각 분포는 표적핵에 무관한 회귀공식. dN=exp[a+k exp(η-y_b)]d[exp(η-y_b)]로 잘 표현된다. 여기에서 의사신속도 η=-ln[tan(θ/2)]이고, y_b는 실험실계의 입사입자(^32S)의 신속도이다. 이 공식에 의한 적합에서 k=-0.057±0.008로 얻어진다. 즉, 핵건판과 고에너지 중이온의 충돌에서 파쇄 헬륨핵의 exp(η-y_b)의 분포는 "극한파쇄" 현상을 잘 설명하고 있다. The angular distribution of emission angle θ of helium (Z=2) produced in the collisions of incident particles of 200 GeV/nucleon ^32S in nuclear emulsion is well expressed by dN=exp[a+k exp(η-y_b)]d[exp(η-y_b)] where the pseudorapidity is η=-ln[tan(θ/2)], the laboratory system primary rapidity is y_b, and k=-0.057+0.008. The shape of this frequency of occurrence distributions in terms of exp(η-y_b) attests to the validity of the concept of "limiting fragmentation" for helium projectile fragments produced in the projectile fragmentation regions of heavy ion collisions in nuclear emulsion.

Genome‑wide identification and molecular characterization of cysteine protease genes in rice
Marjohn C. Niño,Me‑Sun Kim,Kwon-Kyoo Kang,조용구 한국식물생명공학회 2020 Plant biotechnology reports Vol.14 No.1
Cysteine protease activity comprises the majority of proteolytic activities in plants. They are involved in almost every facet of the plant’s development. Accumulating evidence indicates multiple roles of this protease type in response to biotic and abiotic stress. To understand the regulations and functions of cysteine protease in rice, its evolutionary and structural evidence was uncovered in this study. Using MEROPS, a peptidase database, the 74 rice cysteine proteases belonging to six families were queried. Each of these families represents distinct proteolytic enzyme; C1 is a papain-like protease, C2 is a calpain- 2-type, C12 is an ubiquitinyl hydrolase-L1 enzyme, C13 is legumain, C14 is a caspase-1 type, and C15 is a pyroglutamyl peptidase 1 enzyme type. Evolutionary expansion attributed to gene duplication and diversification was particularly evident in C1 family which showed the highest number (n = 53) of members, most of which contained the highest number and most variable introns and motifs, whereas families C13, C14, and C15 had only a few members which all contained lesser number and variation of intron and motif. Out of 74 total cysteine protease gene members, 73 were globular proteins and 55 were predicted as stable proteins. Spatial expression assay of selected C1 members showed that LOC_Os01g73980 and LOC_Os05g01810 were highly expressed in the stem and leaves, while LOC_Os02g27030 was constitutively expressed in all tissues. The expression of LOC_Os01g73980 and LOC_Os05g01810 was also highly activated by salinity stress, while LOC_Os02g27030 was activated by both salinity and heat. LOC_Os05g01810 overexpression transgenic rice exhibited moderate tolerance to salinity stress, which provides interesting clues on biological functions of these genes in rice.
Intravesical Instillation of c-MYC Inhibitor KSI-3716 Suppresses Orthotopic Bladder Tumor Growth
Jeong, K.C.,Kim, K.T.,Seo, H.H.,Shin, S.P.,Ahn, K.O.,Ji, M.J.,Park, W.S.,Kim, I.H.,Lee, S.J.,Seo, H.K. Williams and Wilkins Co 2014 The Journal of urology Vol.191 No.2
Purpose: c-MYC is a promising target for cancer therapy but its use is restricted by unwanted, devastating side effects. We explored whether intravesical instillation of the c-MYC inhibitor KSI-3716 could suppress tumor growth in murine orthotopic bladder xenografts. Materials and Methods: The small molecule KSI-3716, which blocks c-MYC/MAX binding to target gene promoters, was used as an intravesical chemotherapy agent. KSI-3716 action was assessed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation, transcription reporter assay and quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Inhibition of cell proliferation and its mechanism was monitored by cell cytotoxicity assay, EdU incorporation assay and flow cytometry. The in vivo efficacy of KSI-3716 was examined by noninvasive luminescence imaging and histological analysis after intravesical instillation of KSI-3716 in murine orthotopic bladder xenografts. Results: KSI-3716 blocked c-MYC/MAX from forming a complex with target gene promoters. c-MYC mediated transcriptional activity was inhibited by KSI-3716 at concentrations as low as 1 μM. The expression of c-MYC target genes, such as cyclin D2, CDK4 and hTERT, was markedly decreased. KSI-3716 exerted cytotoxic effects on bladder cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Intravesical instillation of KSI-3716 at a dose of 5 mg/kg significantly suppressed tumor growth with minimal systemic toxicity. Conclusions: The c-MYC inhibitor KSI-3716 could be developed as an effective intravesical chemotherapy agent for bladder cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial activity of Cinnamomum verum (C. verum) from 32 different essential oils against cariogenic bacteria, Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Streptococcus sobrinus (S. sobrinus). Methods: The antibacterial activities of each essential oil were individually investigated against S. mutans and S. sobrinus. The essential oil of C. verum was selected for further evaluation against S. mutans and S. sobrinus. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry was used to determine the major constituents of C. verum essential oil. In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration of the most effective constituent was investigated. Results: The essential oil from C. verum exhibited the greatest antibacterial activity. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the major components of C. verum essential oil were cinnamaldehyde (56.3%), cinnamyl acetate (7.1%) and β-phellandrene (6.3%). The MIC of cinnamaldehyde was measured using broth dilution assays. The MIC of cinnamaldehyde was 0.02% (v/v) against both bacterial strains tested. The minimum bactericidal concentration of cinnamaldehyde against S. mutans and S. sobrinus were 0.2% and 0.1% (v/v), respectively. Conclusions: The essential oil of C. verum and its major component cinnamaldehyde possessed considerable in vitro antibacterial activities against cariogenic bacteria, S. mutans and S. sobrinus strains. These results showed that the essential oil of C. verum and its bioactive component, cinnamaldehyde, have potential for application as natural agents for the prevention and treatment of dental caries.
Validation of egg yolk antibody based C-ELISA for avian influenza surveillance in breeder duck
Jeong, O.M.,Kim, M.C.,Kang, H.M.,Ha, G.W.,Oh, J.S.,Yoo, J.E.,Park, C.H.,Kwon, J.S.,Pack, M.R.,Kim, H.R.,Kim, Y.J.,Kwon, J.H.,Lee, Y.J. Elsevier Scientific Pub. Co 2010 Veterinary microbiology Vol.144 No.3
Active surveillance for avian influenza virus (AIV) has expanded from chicken to various poultry species including duck. To further effective antibody screening in laying breeder ducks, we validated the egg yolk antibody as alternative source to serum for AIV antibody. Sera and eggs were collected at weekly intervals after two types of AIV vaccination, H5N3 and H9N2. The antibody levels were determined by an agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test, haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test and the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA). AGID test did not detect antibodies in egg yolk, and the agreement between AGID test and either HI test or C-ELISA in serum was slight and fair based on kappa statistics (kappa value (κ)@?0.19 in H5N3 group and κ@?0.37 in H9N2 groups). However, there was almost perfect agreement between HI test and C-ELISA (κ>0.9 in all group). The C-ELISA was as sensitive and specific as the HI test, and could be used as a pre-screening test for the detection of type A avian influenza virus antibody. Comparison was made between egg yolk and serum antibody titers by a regression analysis. A high correlation was observed between serum and yolk antibody titers (r=0.8762 for H5N3 and 0.8914 for H9N2 in HI test; r=1 for H5N3 and 0.9686 for H9N2 in ELISA test), although egg yolk antibodies were detected later and remained lower levels than serum antibodies. In field trials involving 54 duck flocks, the positive rate of egg yolk and serum samples showed agreement for the detection of AIV antibody. We concluded that as an alternative to serum, antibody monitoring of laying breeder duck using egg yolk with C-ELISA is feasible and is recommended.
