정상' 배추와 '서울' 배추의 배축절편을 선발마커로서 hygromycin 저항성유전자를 갖고 있는 pCAMBIA1301와 paromomycin저항성유전자를 갖고 있는 pPTN290으로 각각 형질 전환된 LBA4404 또는 EHA101균주와 공동배양한 후 선발배지에서 배양하면서 형질전환체를 선발하였다. 형질전환빈도는 사용된 항생제와 품종에 따라서 현저하게 차이가 있었으며, 특히 paromomycin은 hygromycin보다 효과적이었고 정상 배추는 서울배추보다 양호하였다. 가장 높은 형질전환빈도는 (0.70%) 100mg/L paromomycin이 첨가된 선발배지에서 정상배추의배축을 배양할 경우 얻어졌다. GUS양성반응으로 확인 한 결과 정상배추에서 9개체와 서울배추에서 3개체를 각각 얻었으며, 온실에서 생장한 후 $T_1$종자를 수확하였다. $T_1$ 종자를 다시 발아시켜 유식물체를 얻은 후 GUS양성반응을 확인함으로서 외래유전자가 안정적으로 발현하고 있음을 확인하였다. Hypocotyl explants of Chinese cabbage (us. 'Jeong Sang' and 'Seoul') produced adventitious shoots on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 4mg/L $AgNO_3$, 5 mg/L acetosyringone, 4 mg/L 6-benzyladenine and 3mg/L alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (SI) after cocoultivation with strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (LBA4404) harboring the pCAMBIA1301 and the $_PPTN290$ containing hygromycin-resistance gene and paromomycin-resistance gene as a selectable marker genes, respectively. There was a significant difference in the frequency of transgenic plants depending on antibiotics and cultivars used. Paromomycin was better than hygromycin, and cultivar 'Jeong-sang' was higher than 'c.v. Seoul' in the frequency of transgenic plants. In particular, the highest frequency (0.70%) of transgenic plants was obtained from selection medium (SI) containing 100mg/L paromomycin in c.v., 'Jeong-sang' GUS positive response were obtained 9 plants and 3 plants from the cultivars, 'Jeong-sang' and 'Seoul', respectively. They were grown to maturity in a greenhouse and normally produced $T_1$ seeds. GUS histochemical assay for progeny $(T_1)$ revealed that the transgenes were expressed in the plant genome.

Approximately, 7-10 million people in the world suffer from Parkinson``s disease (PO), Recently, increasing evi-dence has suggested the protective effect of estrogens against nigrostriatal dopaminergic damage in PD. In this study, we investigated whether estrogen affects l-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced behavioral impairment in estrogen receptor alpha (ERa)-deficient mice. MPTP (15 mg/kg, four times with l.5-h interval)-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration was evaluated in ERα wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice. Larger dopamine depletion, behavioral impairments (Rotarod test, Pole test, and Gait test), activation of mi-croglia and astrocytes, and neurointlammation after MPTP injection were observed in ERα KO mice compared to those in WT mice.Immunostaining for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) after MPTP injection showed fewerTH-positive neurons in ERα KO mice than WT mice. Levels of dopamine and 3,4-<lihydroxyphenylacetic acid (OOPAC, metab-olite of dopamine) were also lowered in ERα KO mice after MPTP injection. Interestingly, a higher immunoreac-tivity for monoamine oxidase (MAO) B was found in the substantia nigra and striatum of ERα KO mice after MPTP injection. We also found an increased activation of p38 kinase (which positively regulates MAO B expression) in ERα KO mice. In vitro estrogen treatment inhibited neuroinflammation in l-methyl-4-phenyl pyridium (MPP +)-treated cultured astrocyte cells; however, these inhibitory effects were removed by p38 inhibitor. These results indicate that ERα might be important for dopaminergic neuronal survival through inhibition of p38 pathway.

'정상' 배추의 배축절편을 선발마커로서 paromomycin 저항 성유전자를 갖고 있는 pPTN290으로 각각 형질전환된 EHA101, LBA4404, GV3101균주와 공동배양한 후 갤러스유도배지에서 형질전환캘러스를 얻은 후, 뿌리유도배지에서 부정근을 그리고 신초유도배지에서 신초를 각각 순차적으로 유도하였다. 형질전환캘러스를 얻은 후, 뿌리유도배지에서 부정근을 그리고 신초유도배지에서 신초를 가각 순차적으로 유도하였다. 형질전환캘러스 형성은 Agrobacterium균주에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 특히 EHA101균주에 공동배양된 배축절편으로부터 최대 6.1%까지 얻어졌다. 또한 각각의 형질전환캘러스 클론으로부터 형질전환 부정근과 신초 발생은 EHA101균주에서 60.7%와 38.2%, LBA4404에서 8.3%와 0%, GV3101에서 20.5%와 85.7%까지 각각 얻을 수 있었다. 형질전환식물체는 특별한 형태적 이상 없이 온실에서 정상적으로 자라 $T_{2}$종자를 얻을 수 있었다. GUS방법으로 7개의 후대 유식물체를 분석한 결과 gus유전자가 안정적으로 발현하고 있음을 확인하였고, 배추 genome에 single 또는 multiple copy로 전달되고 있음을 추측할 수 있었다. Hypocotyl explants of Chinese cabbage (cvs. "Jeong Sang") produced transgenic calli on callus induction medium (MS salt, B5 vitamin, 5 mg/L acetosyringone, 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 3% sucrose, 400 mg/L cefotaxime, 100 mg/L paromomycin, pH 5.8) after cocultivation with strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (EHA101, LBA4404, GV3101) harboring the pPTN290 containing paromomycin-resistance gene as a selectable marker, and then they transferred to root induction medium (1/2MS salt, MS vitamins, 2% sucrose, 100 mg/L paromomycin, 100 mg/L cefotaxime, pH 5.8) and shoot induction medium (MS salt, B5 vitamin, 4 mg/L $AgNO_3$, 4 mg/L 6-benzyladenine, 3 mg/L alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid, 100 mg/L paromomycin, 100 mg/L cefotaxime, 3% sucrose, pH 5.8) in order. There was a significant difference in the frequency of transgenic calli depending on Agrobacterium strains. In particular, the highest frequency (6.1%) of transgenic calli was obtained from the hypocotyls cocultivated with EHA101 strains. Also, the frequency (%) of transgenic root and plants from each transgenic callus clone were obtained with 60.7% and 38.2% in EHA101, with 8.3% and 0% in LBA4404, with 20.5% and 85.7% in GV3101 strains, respectively. They were grown to maturity in a greenhouse and normally produced $T_2$ seeds. GUS histochemical assay for progeny ($T_2$) revealed that the transgenes was expressed in the plant genome, and progeny analysis from 7 independent transgenic events demonstrated that the transformants transmitted the transgene as a single or multiple functional locus.

An Integrated Method for Application-level Internet Traffic Classification

( Mi-jung Choi ),( Jun-sang Park ),( Myung-sup Kim ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2014 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.8 No.3

Enhanced network speed and the appearance of various applications have recently resulted in the rapid increase of Internet users and the explosive growth of network traffic. Under this circumstance, Internet users are eager to receive reliable and Quality of Service (QoS)-guaranteed services. To provide reliable network services, network managers need to perform control measures involving dropping or blocking each traffic type. To manage a traffic type, it is necessary to rapidly measure and correctly analyze Internet traffic as well as classify network traffic according to applications. Such traffic classification result provides basic information for ensuring service-specific QoS. Several traffic classification methodologies have been introduced; however, there has been no favorable method in achieving optimal performance in terms of accuracy, completeness, and applicability in a real network environment. In this paper, we propose a method to classify Internet traffic as the first step to provide stable network services. We integrate the existing methodologies to compensate their weaknesses and to improve the overall accuracy and completeness of the classification. We prioritize the existing methodologies, which complement each other, in our integrated classification system.

Inhibitory Effects of (-) Epigallocatechin Gallate and Quercetin on High Glucose-induced Endothelial Cytotoxicity

Functional damage to microvascular endothelial cells by hyperglycemia is thought to be one of the critical risk factor.; in the impaired wound healing seen with diabetes mellitus. It is also thought that oxidative stress plays a significant role in this endothelial cell dysfunction. The present study examined the differential effects of flavonoids on endothelial cell dysfunction under high glucose conditions. Human endothelial cells exposed to 30 mmol/L glucose for 7 d were pre-treated with various flavonoids and pulse-treated with 0.2 mmol/L $H_2O_2$ for 30 min. High glucose markedly decreased cell viability with elevated oxidant generation and nuclear condensation. $H_2O_2$ insult exacerbated endothelial cytotoxicity due to chronic exposure to high glucose. (-)Epigallocatechin gallate and quercetin improved glucose-induced cell damage with the disappearnnce of apoptotic bodies, whereas apigenin intensified the glucose cytotoxicity. In addition, cell viability data revealed that these flavonoids of (-)epigallocatechin gallate and quercetin substantially attenuated both high glucose- and $H_2O_2$- induced dual endothelial damage. These results suggest that (-)epigallocatechin gallate and quercetin may be beneficial agents for improving endothelial cell dysfunction induced by high glucose and may prevent or reduce the development of diabetic vascular complications.

Mi-Jin Yim,Jeongmin Lee,Seok-Chun Ko,Hyun-Soo Kim,Jeong Min Shin,Ji Yul Kim,Dae-Sung Lee,Il-Whan Choi 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

Sargassum horneri exhibits broad bioactive properties. However the anti-psoriatic effects of its have not been reported. The present study evaluated whether ethanol extract of S. horneri (ESH) can improve the symptoms of psoriasis in vitro and in vivo and elucidated the mechanisms underlying those effects in vitro. ESH treatment significantly attenuated the protein levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in IFN-γ/TNF-α stimulated HaCaT keratinocytes. In addition, ESH inhibited (PI3K)/Akt phosphorylation and NF-κB activation in HaCaT keratinocytes. We further demonstrated that the ESH significantly ameliorates the severity of skin lesions (erythema, scaling, and thickness) in the IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse model. ESH attenuated the production of inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting Akt/NF-κB signaling pathways in IFN-γ/TNF-α-induced HaCaT keratinocytes. Furthermore, ESH could ameliorate the severity of skin lesions in an IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse model. Thus, S. horneri has considerable potential in the treatment or prevention of inflammatory disorders, such as psoriasis.
