The development of reliable methods to diagnose acute kidney injury is essential to allow the adoption of early therapeutic interventions and evaluate their effectiveness. Based on the fact that kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) expression levels in kidneys are markedly upregulated early after a damage event, here we developed a noninvasive KIM- 1-based molecular imaging technique to detect kidney injury. First, we took advantage of a phage-display platform to select small peptides demonstrating a specific high binding affinity to KIM-1. The promising candidate was conjugated with fluorescent probes, and its imaging potential was validated in vitro and in vivo. This peptide, with the sequence CNRRRA, not only showed a high imaging potential in vitro, allowing a strong detection of KIM-1 expressing cells by microscopy and flow cytometry but also generated a strong kidney-specific signal in live-imaging in vivo experiments in the context of a drug-induced kidney-injury mouse model. Our data overall suggest that the CNRRRA peptide is a promising probe to use in the context of in vivo imaging for the detection of KIM-1 overexpression in damaged kidneys.

Hyun Soo Kim, Jong Woon Cheon, Min Su Kim, Chang Kil Jung, Kyung Rok Kim, Jae Won Choi, Dong Woo Kang and Sun Young Kim1 Departments of Internal Medicine and Pathology1, DongKang Medical Center, Ulsan, Korea Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative disease and caused by Actinomycosis species, principally Actinomyces israelii, which are part of the normal inhabitant on the mucous membrane of the oropharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract. It usually affects cervicofacial, thoracic and abdominal tissue. Cervicofacial type has the highest percentage of occurrence with 50%. Actinomycosis frequently occurs following dental extraction, jaw surgery, chronic infection or poor oral hygiene. It may also be considered as an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients such as malignancy, human immunodeficiency virus infection, diabetes mellitus, steroid usage or alcoholism. But, actinomycosis rarely occurs in adults with normal immunity and rare in the esophagus. We report an unusual case of esophageal actinomycosis which was developed in a patient with normal immunity and improved by therapy with intravenous penicillin G followed oral amoxicillin, and we also reviewed the associated literature.

The bcl-2 proto-oncogene encodes a 26 kD protein that promotes cell survival by blocking apoptosis. The bax protein is a member of the bcl-2 familly, now known to form heterodimers with the bcl-2 protein. The ratio of bax to bcl-2 is be critical in determining the fate of the cell in response to stimuli that can induce apoptosis. Extract of Pulsatilla Koreana (SB-31) showed promising antitumor activity in vitro with Topo I inhibitory action. In the present study, the relationship between apoptosis and the apoptosis related proteins, bcl-2 and bax were investigated in human leukemic cell lines HL-60, U-937 and CEM-CM3. All anticancer drugs(adriamycin, etoposide, camptothecin, SB-31) induced extensive apoptosis in HL-60, U-937 cells and CEM-CM3 cells. The expression of bcl-2 and bax protein were determined in cell lines by western blotting before and after incubation with anticancer drugs at different time points. 1) In HL-60 or U-937 cell lines, down regulation of bcl-2 and up-regulation of bax were found after incubation with ADR, VP-16 or camptothecin. 2) In HL-60 or U-937 cell lines, no significant change in bcl-2 or bax protein expression resulted after incubation with SB-31. 3) In CEM-CM3 cells, virtually no change was noted in bcl-2/bax expression after incubation with ADR, VP-16, camptothecin or SB-31. It is suggested that different leukemic cell lines use different pathways of apoptosis activation and a given cell may utilize different pathways of apoptosis activation in response to different cytotoxic agents.

To evaluate the composition of Gae-Woo Jeot which is one of important traditional salted and fermented sea foods in Cheju Do, changes of nucleotides and their related compounds, free amino acids, TMAO(trimethylamine oxide), TMA(trimethylamine) contents and histological properties during fermentation was examined. AMP was as high as 3.6?mole/?? in raw small abalone but IMP content was only trace while hypoxanthine and IMP was dominant in raw topshell-4.5 mole/?? and 4.3??mole/?? respectively. Hypoxanthine was predominant in 65 days fermented Gae-Woo Jeot. Main amino acid in Gae-Woo Jeot were glycine, arginine, glutamic acid, alanine, valine and histidine in order. These were consisted 50~60% of the total free amino acid while phenylalanine, tyrosine, methionine and isoleucine were poor in content. During fermentation TMAO decreased slowly and eventually disappeard within 85 days while TMA was increased until 65 days and started to decrease down to 6~9mg%. Muscle texture showed the disappearance of elasticity soon after the adding of 10% salt while no change of texture was oberved until 50 days of fermentation in 20% salt group.

Background : ICAM-1 act as one of major adhesion molecules in the atherosclerotic lesion. ICAM-1 expression is mainly regulated at the level of transcription and depend on IFN-γ signal transduction pathway in which the STAT1 transcrption factor is a critical intermediate. IFN-γreceptor not only initiates tyrosine 701 phosphorylation of STAT1 by Jak1 and Jak2, but also phosphorylates serine 727 through the activation of Raf-1/MAP kinases. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors have anti-atherosclertic effects, beyond normalization of hypercholesterolemia, by directly acting on endothelial cells, macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors suppress the synthesis of isoprenoid intermediates such as geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate or farnesylpyrophosphate. These effects results inhibitors suppress the synthesis of isoprenoid intermediates such as geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate or farnesylpyrophosphate. These effects results inhibition posttranslational farnesylation and geranyl-geranylation processing of small GTP-binding preoteins and inhibition of normal signaling activities. Method : We made several 5'-deletion constructs of rat ICAM-1 promoter and analyzed the promoter activities by measuring the luciferase activity after transfection into ECV304 cells and smooth muscle cells. We checked the level of total and phosphorylated STAT1 protein by immunoblot analysis using specific antibodies. Results : Lovastatin inhibits IFN-γ-induced ICAM-1 gene expression in the ECV304cell. The cells pretreated with PD98059, MEKK inhibitor showed significantly low ICAM-1 RNA induction with IFN-γ stimulatio. IFN-γ induced phosphorylation of tyrosine 701 was not significantly changed by the pretreatment of lovastatin. But lovastatin suppresses IFN-γ-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2 which are responsible for the seine 727 phosphorylation in STAT1. Conclusion : We showed that HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, lovastatin, suppresses IFN-γ mediated ICAM-1 gene expression through the inhibition of transcription. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor suppresses IFN-γ-induced phosphorylation of serine 727 in STAT1 through the modulation of MAP kinases.

산지하천에서 빛과 초식에 의한 부착조류의 생체량변화

김현우,김현주,김진수,윤해순,주기재 東亞大學校附設基礎科學硏究所 1998 基礎科學硏究論文集 Vol.15 No.1

빛과 초식에 의한 부착조류의 생체량 변화에 대한 영향을 평가하기 위하여 자연기질과 인공기질(유약을 칠하지 않은 타일: 3.7×9.5×2cm)을 이용하여 부분적으로 음지화된 2차 산지하천에서 실험하였다. Open canopy(상대적 빛 투과율: 20∼50%, chl. a: 9.5±3.0㎎/㎡, n=25)에서는 closed canopy(<6% 상대적 빛 투과율, 3.2±0.9㎎/㎡, n=17)보다 높은 부착조류 생체량을 유지하였다. 하천 주변식생의 잎 성숙과 잦은 강우에 의해서 여름의 부착조류 생체량은 봄과 겨울에 비하여 낮았다. 봄에 인공기질에 부착조류가 부착하는 속도는 겨울보다 빨랐으며 겨울에는 자연기질 수준(8∼9㎎/㎡)에 이르기 까지 최소 5∼6주 정도 소요되었다. 초식자인 다슬기는 출입을 제한한 실험구에서는 출입이 허용된 대조구보다 약간 높은 생체량(AFDW, chl. a)을 보였다. 결론적으로 빛이 부착조류 생체량에 증가에 미치는 영향은 초식 보다는 더 큰 것으로 사료된다. Effects of light and grazing on the biomass development of periphyton were evaluated using natural and artificial substrata (unglazed tile: 3.7×9.5×2cm) in a partially shaded 2nd order mountain stream. In open canopy (relative light input 20∼50%), a relatively high biomass (chl. a: 9.5±3.0㎎/㎡, n=25) was maintained than that of closed canopy (<6% of light input, 3.2±0.9㎎/㎡, n=17). Due to shading and frequent rainfalls, biomass was lower during the summer than in the spring and winter. During the spring, colonization of periphyton on artificial substrata occurred faster than in winter and it took a minimum of 5∼6 weeks to reach the biomass of natural substrata (8∼9㎎/㎡). When snails were allowed to freely enter the chamber (mean density: 114 ind./㎡) with artificial substrata, biomass accumulation (chl. a, AFDW) was low compared to the snail excluded enclosure (50∼90% of ungrazed substrata). It was concluded that the light input on periphyton biomass in a partially shaded stream played a more important role than grazing.
