목 적: 단백질 인산화는 세포신호전달에 매우 중요한 현상으로서, 수많은 조절인자들이 난자성숙에 관여하게 된다. 그러나 이들 중에서 어떤 단백질이 인산화되어 난자성숙을 조절하는지는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 체세포의 신호전달과정에서 인산화를 통해 중요한 기능을 한다고 알려져 있는 일곱 가지 단백질들이 생쥐의 난자성숙과정에서 어떻게 인산화 되고 있는지 알아보고자 한 개 샘플에서 일곱 개의 변화를 한꺼번에 측정할 수 있는 bead-based multiplex phosphorylation assay를 이용하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 연구방법: ICR 생쥐에 PMSG를 주사하고 46시간 후에 cumulus-oocyte complex (COCs) 형태로 미성숙 난자를 채취한 후 체외배양 하면서, 배양 2시간 후에 GVBD를, 배양 8시간 후에 MI을, 배양 16시간 후에 MII 단계의 난자를 얻었고 체내에서 배란한 MII 단계의 난자는 수란관에서 얻었다. 각 단계의 난자를 100개씩 모아서 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)에 속하는 세가지 단백질인 ERK1/2, JNK, p38 MAPK와 Akt, GSK-$3{\alpha}/{\beta}$, $I{\kapa}B{\alpha}$, STAT3 등 총 일곱 단백질의 인산화를 Bio-Plex System을 이용하여 같은 시료에서 동시에 측정하였으며 세 번의 반복실험을 통하여 얻어진 결과를 통계적으로 분석하였다. 결 과: 생쥐의 난자성숙과정에서 측정된 일곱 가지 단백질 중에서 인산화가 현저히 증가하는 단백질로는 ERK1/2, JNK, p38 MAPK와 STAT3로서 미성숙 난자에 비해서 3배에서 20배까지 인산화되는 결과를 보였다. 반면에 GSK-$3{\alpha}/{\beta}$, $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$의 인산화의 변화는 미약하였으며, Akt의 경우에는 변화가 전혀 없었다. 난자성숙 과정에서 분석 대상 단백질들의 인산화는 GVBD 단계에서 활성화되기 시작하여 MI에서 현저히 높게 증가하며 MII까지 높게 유지되었다. 결 론: 본 연구는 난자성숙과정에서 일곱 가지 단백질의 인산화를 동시에 측정한 최초의 보고로서 이 방법은 난자와 같이 적은 양의 시료에서의 여러 개의 단백질 인산화를 동시에 분석하는데 유용할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구결과, 세 가지 MAPK 단백질인 ERK1/2, JNK, p38 MAPK 외에도 STAT3가 난자성숙에 있어서 매우 중요한 조절자로 생각되었다. 또한 Akt의 473번 serine기의 인산화는 난자성숙에 관여하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. Objective: Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins are important in regulating cellular signaling pathways. Bead-based multiplex phosphorylation assay was conducted to detect the phosphorylation of seven proteins to maximize the information obtained from a single lysate of stage-specific mouse oocytes at a time. Methods: Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured for 2 h, 8 h, and 16 h, respectively to address phosphorylation status of seven target proteins during oocyte maturation process. We analyzed the changes in phosphorylation at germinal vesicle (GV, 0 h), germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD, 2 h), metaphase I (MI, 8 h), and metaphase II (MII, 16 h in vitro or in vivo) mouse oocytes by using Bio-Plex phosphoprotein assay system. We chose seven target proteins, namely, three mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 MAPK, and other 4 well known signaling molecules, Akt, GSK-$3{\alpha}/{\beta}$, $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$, and STAT3 to measure their phosphorylation status. Western blot analysis and kinase inhibitor treatment for ERK1/2, JNK, and Akt during in vitro maturation of oocytes were conducted for the confirmation. Results: Phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38 MAPK and STAT3 was increased over 3 folds up to 20 folds, while phosphorylation of the other three signal molecules, Akt, GSK-$3{\alpha}/{\beta}$, and $I{\kapa}B{\alpha}$ was less than 3 folds. All of these results except for Akt were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: This is the first report on the new and valuable method measuring many phosphoproteins simultaneously in one minute sample such as oocyte lysates. All of the three MAPKs, ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 MAPK are involved in the process of mouse oocyte maturation. In addition, STAT3 might be important regulator of oocyte maturation, while Akt phosphorylation at Serine 473 may not be involved in the regulation of oocyte maturation.

Object: The present study was accomplished to obtain a gene expression profile of the luminal epithelium during embryo apposition in comparison of implantation (1M) and interimplantation (INTER) sites. Material and Method: The mouse uterine luminal epithelium from IM and INTER sites were sampled on day 4.5 (Day of vaginal plug = day 0.5) by Laser Captured Microdissection (LCM). RNA was extracted from LCM captured epithelium, amplified, labeled and hybridized to microarrays. Results from microarray hybridization were analyzed by Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) method. Differential expression of some genes was confirmed by LCM followed by RT-PCR. Results: Comparison of IM and INTER sites by SAM identified 73 genes most highly ranked at IM, while 13 genes at the INTER sites, within the estimated false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.163. Among 73 genes at IM, 20 were EST/unknown function, and the remain 53 were categorized to the structural, cell cycle, gene/protein expression, immune reaction, invasion, metabolism, oxidative stress, and signal transduction. Of the 24 structural genes, 14 were related especially to extracellular matrix and tissue remodeling. Meanwhile, among 13 genes up-regulated at INTER, 8 genes were EST/unknown function, and the rest 5 were related to metabolism, signal transduction, and gene/protein expression. Among these 58 (53+5) genes with known functions, 13 genes (22.4%) were related with $Ca^{2+}$ for their function. Conclusions: Results of the present study suggest that 1) active tissue remodeling is occurring at the IM sites during embryo apposition, 2) the INTER sites are relatively quiescent than IM sites, and 3) the $Ca^{2+}$ may be a crucial for apposition. Search for human homologue of those genes expressed in the mouse luminal epithelium during apposition will help to understand the implantation process and/or implantation failure in humans.

목적: 본 연구진은 난자성숙 과정의 조절 기작을 규명하기 위하여 생쥐의 미성숙 난자와 성숙난자에서 차이 나게 발현하는 유전자의 목록을 얻은 바 있다. 이들 유전자 중에서 Bcl-2 homolog인 Diva 유전자가 난자에 특이적으로 발현함을 본 연구를 통해 규명하였는데 이러한 Diva의 기능을 밝혀내기 위하여 immunoprecipitation (IP)과 Mass Spectrometry (MS)를 이용하여 Diva와 결합하여 상호작용하는 단백질을 동정하고자 하였다. 연구방법: NIH/3T3 세포주에 Diva를 encoding하는 pCMV-FLAG-Diva를 24 시간 동안 과발현 시키고 대조군으로는 유전자 없는 pCMV-FLAG empty vector를 transfection 하였다. FLAG에 특이적인 항체로 IP하여 Diva와 결합하는 면역복합체를 형성하게 한 후 이를 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel 상에서 전기 영동하였고 Coomassie Blue 염색을 통해 단백질 발현양상을 관찰하였다. 대조군에서는 관찰되지 않으면서 Diva 유전자가 발현하는 실험군에서만 확인되는 밴드를 오려내어 trypsin을 사용하여 in-gel digestion 한 후 MS 분석을 시행하였다. 모든 mass spectra는 4700 Proteomics Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Framingham, MA)에 의해 positive reflector mode에서 얻어졌다. 이렇게 얻어진 단백질들은 MASCOT Peptide Mass Fingerprint software (Matrixscience, London)을 이용하여 NCBI nonredundant database를 찾아서 동정하였다. 결과: Diva를 과발현하는 세포주에서만 관찰되는 15개 밴드에 대한 MS/MS 분석 결과, Diva와 결합하는 단백질로서 actin과 그 외에 ${\alpha}$-actinin, tropomyosin, tropomodulin 3 등의 actin-binding 단백질을 동정하였다. Diva를 과발현하는 NIH/3T3 세포주에서 면역 복합체를 형성하는 actin과 tropomyosin이 실제 난소 조직에서도 Diva와 결합하는지 IP와 Western blot을 통해 확인한 결과, actin과 tropomyosin 모두 Diva와 결합함을 확인함으로써, Diva는 이 두 단백질과 난소에서 상호작용함을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구는 Diva와 결합하여 상호작용하는 단백질들이 cytoskeletal system의 actin filament와 관계 있음을 규명한 최초의 보고이다. Diva가 actin과 tropomyosin과 결합하는 것을 고려해볼때, 난자 특이적인 Diva는 아마도 난자성숙 동안에 cytoskeletal system 을 조절하는 역할을 할 것으로 사료된다. Objective: We previously described that Diva is highly expressed in matured metaphase II (MII) oocytes compared to immature germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes in mouse. We report here that the expression of Diva transcript as well as protein is oocyte-specific. To elucidate its physiological role in oocyte, the binding partner(s) of Diva has been identified by using immunoprecipitation (IP) followed by Mass Spectrometry. Methods: NIH/3T3 cells were transiently transfected for 24 h with either empty vector for control or FLAG-tagged mouse Diva construct, and IP was performed with anti-FLAG antibody. The immuno-isolated complexes were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 12% gel followed by Coomassie Blue staining. For in-gel digestion, 15 bands of interest were excised manually and digested with trypsin. All mass spectra were acquired at a positive reflector mode by a 4700 Proteomics Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Framingham, MA). Proteins were identified by searching the NCBI nonredundant database using MASCOT Peptide Mass Fingerprint software (Matrixscience, London). Results: Diva-associated complexes were formed in FLAG-tagged mouse Diva-overexpressed NIH/3T3 cells via IP using anti-FLAG-conjugated beads. Among the excised 15 bands, actin and actin-binding proteins such as tropomyosin, tropomodulin 3, and ${\alpha}$-actinin were identified. Binding between Diva and actin or tropomyosin was confirmed by IP followed by Western blot analysis. Both bindings were also detected endogenously in mouse ovaries, indicating that Diva works with actin and tropomyosin. Conclusions: This is the first report that immuno-isolated Diva-associated complexes are related to actin filament of the cytoskeletal system. When we consider the association of Diva with actin and tropomyosin, oocyte-specific Diva may play a role in modulating the cytoskeletal system during oocyte maturation.

윤세진,김기령,정형민,윤태기,차광렬,이경아,Yoon, Se-Jin,Kim, Ki-Ryeong,Chung, Hyung-Min,Yoon, Tae-Ki,Cha, Kwang-Yul,Lee, Kyung-Ah 대한생식의학회 2005 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.32 No.3

Objective: To understand the crucial requirement for the normal early folliculogenesis, we evaluated molecular as well as physiological differences during in vitro ovarian culture. Among the important regulators for follicle development, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and FSH Receptor (FSHR) have been known to be expressed in the cuboidal granulosa cells. Meanwhile, it is known that c-kit is germ cell-specific and GDF-9 is also oocyte-specific regulator. To evaluate the functional requirement for the competence of normal follicular development, we investigated the differential mRNA expression of several factors secreted from granulosa cells and oocytes between in vivo and in vitro developed ovaries. Materials and Methods: Ovaries from ICR neonates (the day of birth) were cultured for 4 days (for primordial to primary transition) or 8 days (for secondary follicle formation) in ${\alpha}$-MEM glutamax supplemented with 3 mg/ml BSA without serum or growth factors. The mRNA levels of the several factors were investigated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Freshly isolated 0-, 4-, and 8-day-old ovaries were used as control. Results: The mRNA of AMH and FSHR as granulosa cell factors was highly increased according to the ovarian development in both of 4- and 8-day-old control. However, the mRNA expression was not induced in both of 4- and 8-day in vitro cultured ovaries. The mRNA expression of GDF-9 known to regulate follicle growth as an oocyte factor was different between in vivo and in vitro developed ovaries. In addition, the transcript of GDF-9 was expressed in the primordial follicles of mouse ovaries. The mRNA expression of c-kit was not significantly different during the early folliculogenesis in vitro. Conclusion: This is the first report regarding endogenous AMH and FSHR expression during the early folliculogenesis in vitro. In conclusion, it will be very valuable to evaluate cuboidal granulosa cell factors as functional marker(s) for normal early folliculogenesis in vitro.

윤세진(Se-Jin Yoon),설정덕(Jeong-Dug Sul),우병훈(Byung-Hoon Woo) 한국응용과학기술학회 (구.한국유화학회) 2021 한국응용과학기술학회지 Vol.38 No.2

본 연구의 목적은 골프 스윙 시 3가지 스탠스에서 클럽헤드 스피드와 볼의 정확성을 유지하기 위한 신체 전략을 하지의 운동학적 변인과 지면반력 변인을 통하여 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 대상은 공식 핸디캡이 2인 남자골프선수 10명으로 하였다. 모든 대상자들은 스탠스 조건(스퀘어, 오픈, 클로즈드)에 따라 어드레스 자세를 유지한 후 스윙을 수행하였다. 3차원 동작분석 시스템과 지면반력기를 이용하여 각스탠스에 따라 7번 아이언 풀스윙을 수행한 결과를 산출하였다. 연구결과로 신체중심의 변위, 고관절 각변 위, 무릎관절 각변위는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 발목관절 각변위는 어드레스부터 다운스윙까지 왼쪽에서 오픈 스탠스가 저측굴곡이 크게 수행되었고, 오른쪽에서 클로즈드 스탠스에서 저측굴곡이 크게 수행되었 다. 지면반력에서 전후, 수직은 차이가 없었지만, 어드레스부터 테이크백까지 왼발은 오른쪽 방향, 오른발은 왼쪽 방향의 힘이 오픈이 클로즈드 스탠스보다 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로 다양한 스탠스에도 불구하고, 임팩트 시 동일한 자세를 유지하는 것이 클럽헤드 스피드와 볼의 방향에 긍정적으로 작용되는 것으로 판단 된다. The purpose of this study was to investigate the body s strategy through kinematic variables of the lower extremities and ground reaction forces to maintain the club-head speed and ball accuracy despite the three stances during the golf swing. Ten male golfers who official handicap two were participate in the experiment. All subjects performed swing after maintaining the address posture according to stance conditions(square; SS, open: OS, closed: CS). Using a 3D motion analysis system and force plateform, the results were calculated with the 7-iron full swing each stance. In result, there was no difference in center of displacement, and left and right hip and knee joint angle displacement. Left ankle joint was largely plantar-flexed in OS, and right ankle joint was largely performed in CS from the address to the downswing. From address to take-back, right foot had a large left direction and the left foot had a right direction were greater in OS than in CS. Therefore, despite various stances, maintaining the same posture at impact is thought to have a positive effect on club head speed and ball direction.

목 적: 본 연구진은 선행연구를 통하여 생쥐의 미성숙 난자와 성숙 난자 사이에 차이 나게 발현하는 유전자(DEGs)의 목록을 보유하고 있는데, 그 중에서 pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)에 필수적 효소인 Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase A (Rpia)를 선택하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 난자 성숙 과정에 관련된 Rpia의 기능을 알아보기 위한 기초연구로서 생쥐와 돼지의 난소에서 Rpia의 발현을 비교분석 하였다. 연구방법: 생쥐의 각 조직에서 11개의 MII-selective DEGs의 발현을 RT-PCR방법으로 확인하여 난소에서 강하게 발현하는 4개의 유전자를 선택하였고, 다시 이들 4개 유전자 중 난자에서 높게 발현하는 Rpia를 선택하여 생쥐 및 돼지의 난자, 난구세포, 과립세포에서의 발현을 비교분석 하였다. 돼지 Rpia 염기서열은 밝혀져 있지 않아 EST clustering 기법을 통해 동정하였다. 결 과: EST clustering 기법으로 찾아낸 돼지 Rpia 염기서열은 GenBank에 등록하였고 (Accession Number EF213106), 이를 근거로 primer를 작성하여 RT-PCR을 수행하였다. Rpia 유전자는 생쥐에서는 난자 특이적으로 발현하는 반면 돼지에서는 난자, 난구세포, 과립세포에서 모두 발현하는 차이점을 발견하였다. 결 론: 본 연구는 생쥐와 돼지의 난소에서 Rpia유전자 동정에 대한 첫 보고로서, 본 연구결과로부터 생쥐와 돼지의 COCs는 서로 다른 경로로 포도당의 대사가 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이와 같은 차이점이 두 종의 난자를 체외 배양할 때 나타나는 난자 성숙률의 차이를 가져오는 기전 중의 하나가 아닐까 추측된다. 난자 성숙을 조절하는 기전을 연구함과 동시에 체외에서 난자 성숙이 어려운 종의 최적의 IVM (in vitro maturation)조건을 찾기 위해서는 앞으로 난자와 주변세포의 포도당 대사과정에 미치는 Rpia의 기능에 대한 후속연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. Objective: We previously identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between germinal vesicle (GV) and metaphase II (MII) mouse oocyte. The present study was accomplished as a preliminary study to elucidate the role of ribose 5-phosphate isomerase A (Rpia), the essential enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), in oocyte maturation. We observed expression of Rpia in the mouse and porcine oocytes. Methods: Expression pattern of the 11 MII-selective DEGs in various tissues was evaluated using RT-PCR and selected 4 genes highly expressed in the ovary. According to the oocyte-selective expression profile, we selected Rpia as a target for this study. We identified the porcine Rpia sequence using EST clustering technique, since it is not yet registered in public databases. Results: The extended porcine Rpia nucleotide sequence was submitted and registered to GenBank (accession number EF213106). We prepared primers for porcine Rpia according to this sequence. In contrast to the oocyte-specific expression in the mouse, Rpia was expressed in porcine cumulus and granulosa cells as well as in oocytes. Conclusion: This is the first report on the characterization of the Rpia gene in the mouse and porcine ovarian cells. Results of the present study suggest that the mouse and porcine COCs employ different mechanism of glucose metabolism. Therefore, the different metabolic pathways during in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) in different species may lead different maturation rates. It is required to study further regarding the role of Rpia in glucose metabolism of oocytes and follicular cell fore exploring the regulatory mechanism of oocyte maturation as well as for finding the finest culture conditions for in vitro maturation.

이경아,윤세진,이숙현,신창숙,최안나,조용선,윤태기,차광렬,Lee, Kyung-Ah,Yoon, Se-Jin,Lee, Sook-Hyun,Shin, Chang-Sook,Choi, An-Na,Cho, Yong-Seon,Yoon, Tae-Ki,Cha, Kwang-Yul 대한생식의학회 2000 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.27 No.2

Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the viability of germ cells from the adult and fetal ovarian tissues after vitrification followed by xenografting. Method: The human adult ovarian tissues were obtained from 33 years old patient, and the fetal ovarian tissues were obtained from 22 weeks and 25 weeks in gestation. Ovarian tissues were cryopreserved by vitrification with 5.5 M ethylene glycol (EG 5.5) and 1.0 M sucrose as cryoprotectants. Adult and fetal ovarian tissues were pre-equilibrated with EG 5.5 at room temperature for 10 and 5 minutes, respectively and plunged into liquid nitrogen immediately. Frozen-thawed tissues were xenografted into NOD-SCID mice to evaluate the viability and capacity for further growth of the primordial follicles. Grafts were recovered from the recipients 4 weeks after transplantation and histological analysis was accomplished. Result and Conclusion: Grafts recovered 4 weeks after transplantation contained less number of oocytes and primordial follicles compared to that of the fresh tissues. Survived follicles were mainly primordial and intermediary with larger diameter and more granulosa cells. It is confirmed that 1) the ovarian tissues were healthy and the germ cells were survived after vitrification, and 2) the survived fetal primordial follicles after vitrification resumed the growth in the xenografts.

쥐의 초기 난포 발달에 관여하는 Cell Size Growth 및 CCN Family 유전자에 관한 연구

김경화,박창은,윤세진,이경아,Kim, Kyeoung-Hwa,Park, Chang-Eun,Yoon, Se-Jin,Lee, Kyung-Ah 대한생식의학회 2005 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.32 No.3

Objectives: Previously, we sought to compile a list of genes expressed during early folliculogenesis by using cDNA microarray to investigate follicular gene expression and changes during primordialprimary follicle transition and development of secondary follicles (Yoon et al., 2005). Among those genes, a group of genes related to the cell size growth was characterized during the ovarian development in the present study. Methods: We determined ovarian expression pattern of six genes related to the cell size growth (cyr61, emp1, fhl1, socs2, wig1 and wisp1) and extended into CCN family (${\underline{c}}onnective$ tissue growth factor/${\underline{c}}ysteine$-rich 61/${\underline{n}}ephroblastoma$-overexpressed), ctgf, nov, wisp2, wisp3, including cyr61 and wisp1 genes. Expression of mRNA and protein according to the ovarian developmental stage was evaluated by in situ hybridization, and/or semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results: Among 6 genes related to the cell size growth, cyr61 and wisp1 mRNA was detected only in oocytes in the postnatal day5 mouse ovaries. cyr61 mRNA expression was limited to the nucleolus of oocytes, while wisp1 was expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleolus of oocytes, except nucleus. cyr61 mRNA expression, however, was found in granulosa cells from secondary follicles. The rest 4 genes in the cell size growth group were detected in oocytes, granulosa and theca cells. Cyr61 and Wisp1 proteins were expressed in the oocyte cytoplasm from primordial follicle stage. Especially, Cyr61 protein was detected in pre-granulosa cells, Wisp1 protein was not. By using RT-PCR, we evaluated and decided that Cyr61 protein is produced by their own mRNA in pre-granulosa cells that was not detected by in situ hybridization. cyr61 and wisp1 genes are happen to be the CCN family members. The other members of CCN family were also studied, but their expression was detected in oocytes, granulose and theca cells. Conclusions: We firstly characterized the ovarian expression of genes related to the cell size growth and CCN family according to the early folliculogenesis. Cyr61 protein expression in the pre-granulosa cells is profound in meaning. Further functional analysis for cyr61 in early folliculogenesis is under investigation.
