Biochemical characterization of a regiospecific flavonoid 3'-O-methyltransferase from orange
Park Hye Lin,Bhoo Seong Hee,Lee Sang-Won,Cho Man-Ho 한국응용생명화학회 2024 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.67 No.-
Citrus plants have diverse methoxyflavonoids including, chrysoeriol, isosakuranetin, and nobiletin. In plants, O-methyltransferases (OMTs) participate in the methylation of a vast array of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, and alkaloids. To identify functional OMTs involved in the formation of methoxyflavonoids, orange (Citrus sinensis) OMT (CsOMT) genes were retrieved from the Citrus Genome Database. The phylogenetic relationships with functional OMTs suggested that three CsOMTs, CsOMT15, CsOMT16, and CsOMT30, are possible candidates for flavonoid OMTs (FOMTs). These CsOMTs were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, and their OMT activity was examined with flavonoid substrates. Of the examined CsOMTs, CsOMT16 catalyzed the regiospecific 3’-O-methylation of flavonoids to the respective 3’-methoxyflavonoids. A kinetic study demonstrated that CsOMT16 accepts diverse flavonoids as a substrate with a comparable preference. The flavonoids eriodictyol, luteolin, and quercetin were efficiently converted to homoeriodictyol, chrysoeriol, and isorhamnetin by CsOMT16- transformed E. coli cells, respectively. These findings suggest that CsOMT16 contributes to the methoxyflavonoid formation in orange and is applicable to the biotechnological production of 3’-methoxyflavonoids.

Aims: Currently, antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients in immune tolerant (IT) phase is generally not recommended. There has been a need for studies assessing benefits of antiviral therapy in IT-phase. A recent study showed that untreated IT-phase patients had higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than treated immune active (IA) phase patients. We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of starting antiviral treatment from IT-phase (IT-Tx) compared to delaying the treatment to IA-phase (IA-Tx). Methods: We designed a Markov model to compare expected costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) between IT-Tx group and IA-Tx group from healthcare system and societal perspectives. Transition probabilities and costs were obtained from a cohort of 4,965 HBeAg-positive, treatment-naive CHB patients at Asan Medical Center. Literature review was conducted for other parameters. Cost and effectiveness were discounted at a 5% annual rate, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated for 10-year horizon and evaluated with various HCC risks. Results: The cost-effectiveness analysis showed that IT-Tx group had ₩6,996,562 incremental costs and additional 0.294 QALY per patient compared to IA-Tx group with 10-year cumulative HCC risk of 10% (base-case). ICER was ₩23,819,529/QALY, which was borderline high of the cost-effectiveness threshold (₩20,000,000/QALY) in Korea. As HCC risk increased, IT-Tx became acceptable in cost-effectiveness. When the HCC risk increased over 11.8%, ICER went below the threshold. The analysis including the cost of lost productivity showed that IT-Tx was dominant with HCC risk greater than 4.6% (ICER<0). Conclusions: To start antiviral therapy for CHB patients in IT-phase was borderline high cost-effective from healthcare system perspective dealing with the only medical costs, however, it was a dominant strategy in view of societal perspective covering also the costs for lost productivity.

Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance using ultrasonography (US) is recommended for cirrhotic patients to detect HCC in earlier stages. But in high-risk patients with cirrhosis, surveillance by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with liver-specific contrast results in earlier detection of HCC than US. The study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of semiannual surveillance with MRI compared to US in cirrhotic patients at high risk for HCC. Methods: We designed a Markov model to compare expected costs and quality adjusted life years (QALY) between MRI and US over 20 years of time horizon from the limited societal perspective. The starting age of the cohort was 50 years old, and the cycle length was 6 months. Transition probabilities and costs were obtained mainly from a prospective cohort - the PRIUS study (NCT01446666). Literature review was conducted for HCC detection rate of US and utility weights. Effectiveness was measured life year (LY) gained and QALY. Cost and effectiveness were discounted at a 5% annual rate. An incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated and tested with deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. Results: The cost-effectiveness (CE) analysis indicated that MRI had ₩3,219,387 incremental costs, 0.521 incremental LY, and 0.313 incremental QALY per patient as compared to US. ICER were ₩6,175,874/LY and ₩10,621,005/QALY. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the annual HCC incidence was the most sensitive, ICER was estimated below the CE threshold (₩20,000,000/QALY) when the annual HCC incidence was over 4%. In sensitivity analysis, the annual HCC incidence and the cost ratio of MRI/US were varied, which showed that as HCC incidence increased, higher MRI/US cost ratio became acceptable in cost-effectiveness. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that semiannual MRI surveillance for HCC in cirrhotic patients at high-risk cost-effective compared to US. This results is helpful in determining the surveillance method considering the extent of patient's risk for HCC.

Nascent polypeptide associated complex (NAC) proteins bind to newly synthesized polypeptide chains from ribosome and are involved in various physiological processes. An in vitro pulldown assay demonstrated that the previously identified NAC protein interacts with phytochromes. Phytochrome-interacting NAC protein (PNAC) was expressed in the cytosol, and translocation of the PNAC protein into nucleus by irradiation was not observed. These findings suggest that PNAC is a possible cytosolic partner protein to phytochromes. Histochemical analysis of PNAC promoter-β-glucuronidase (GUS) transgenic plants showed that PNAC expression was increased by light treatment,especially red light, indicating that phytochromes likely modulate PNAC gene expression.

Background: There is little research regarding whether working as a physician affects cancer risk. Moreover, thereis no research on cancer prevalence among physicians in Korea. This study utilized the Korea National Cancer IncidenceDatabase to determine whether the prevalence of cancer among physicians differs from the prevalence ofcancer within the general population. Methods: We analyzed the medical records of a representative sample of 382 doctors who underwent a health examinationbetween 2010 and 2013 at a health examination center in a Ewha Womans University Medical Center. Cancer incidence was measured as cases that were eventually diagnosed as cancer according to a biopsy. Results: We collected medical records from 382 physicians (mean age, 51.9±8.1 years) and calculated the standardizedprevalence ratios compared to the general population. Thirty physicians (9 male and 21 female) were identifiedas having cancer. Physicians had a significantly higher prevalence of cancer compared to the general population. Cancer prevalence in male physicians was found to be 2.47 times higher than the prevalence expected withinthe general population (P=0.006). Among female physicians, cancer prevalence was 3.94 times higher than that inthe general population (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study revealed that physicians had a higher prevalence of cancer compared to the general populationin Korea, which suggests that there may be a problem present in the health care of physicians. Changes to theworking environment of physicians will be needed to reduce the high prevalence of cancer among physicians.

미생물 전해 전지(MEC)는 혐기성 소화조 및 바이오 가스 생산의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 454-pyrosequencing 분석을 통한 벌크 슬러지의 미생물 군집 변화에 대한 AD-MEC (MEC와 결합한 혐기성 소화조)의 전기 화학 반응의 영향과 이러한 변화가 혐기성 소화에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. Methanobacterium beijingense와 Methanobacterium petrolearium은 AD에서 지배적인 고세균 종이고 Methanosarcina thermophila와 Methanobacterium formicicum은 정상 상태의 AD-MEC에서 우세했다. 지배적인 세균 종에는 실질적인 차이가 없었다. Clostridia 클래스는 두 반응기에서 Bacteroidia 클래스보다 더 풍부했다. AD와 비교하여 AD-MEC는 전체 박테리아 개체군이 40% 증가하여 유기 물질의 제거와 휘발성 지방산 (VFAs)의 전환을 증가시킨다. 따라서, MEC 반응은 유기물을 VFA로보다 효과적으로 전환시키고 메탄 생성에 유리한 미생물 군집을 활성화시킨다.
