2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) a prototype of the highly toxid halogenated arylhydrocarbons, bioaccumulates in the food chain and induces a complex spectrum of pathological responses. However, its effect on the nerve system is relatively not well studied. In this study we evaluated TCDDs cytotoxicity on the cortical cell and investigated its effect on the expression 2,3-cyclic nucleotide 3-phosphodiesterase(CNPase), a marker for oilgodendrocytes, The survival rates of 4 DIV cortical cells, that are dissociated from E18 rat cortex and maintained in the presence of TCDD, were 88.8, 83.6, 78.5, and 78.6%(5,10, 20 and 50 nM, respectively) where the reduction in 20 and 50mM TCDD were statistically very significant(p<0.01). Imunocytochemistry of cultured cells revealed that the intensities of immunostaining with an anti-CNP1&2 antibody depended on the concentrations of the toxin. Immunoblot analysis also showed differential expression of CNP1 and CNP2 in the presence of TCDD; the CNP1 expression was dose-dependently decreased. Interestingly, the expression of CNP2 in the presence if TDCC; the CNP1 expression was dose-dependently decreased. Interestingly, the expression of CNP2 fluctuated with the TCDD concentration. These results indicated that CNP1 and 2 are differentially regulated by TCDD, implying the functions of oligodendrocytes are modulated by the toxin.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a multigene family composed of constitutively expressed members(Hsc70) and stress-inducible members (Hsp70). In the mammalian nervous system, a considerable amount of HSPs is also synthesized under normal conditions suggesting that they play an important role in the metabolism of unstressed cells. In this study we examined the expression of Hsp70 in the synapses of rat cerebellar neurons. Immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies revealed that both Hsp70 and Hsc70 are expressed in the cerebellar tissue, with strongest expression in Purkinje cells followed by granule cells. Neurons in deep cerebellar nuclei were also intensely stained by Hsp70 antibody. Immunocytochemical stainings of cultured cerebellar cells showed that Hsp70 is expressed in both Purkinje and granule cells. The expression was punctate in the soma and along dendritic trees, and the punctae were colocalized with those of PSD95, a postsynaptic marker. Immunoblotting also indicates that Hsp70 is associated with the postsynaptic density fraction. Taken together, our results indicate that the Hsp70 is expressed in cerebellar neurons in normal conditions, and that some are localized in the synapses. 열충격단백질 70 (HSP70)은 복수유전자족으로서 통상적으로 표현되는 Hsc70와 스트레스에 의하여 유도되는 Hsp70가 있다. 포유동물의 신경계통에서는 상당한 량의 HSP70가 정상조건에서도 표현되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 흰쥐의 소뇌 세포의 연접에서 Hsp70의 표현에 대한 연구를 하였다. 면역조직화학적으로 소뇌절편을 염색하여 관찰한 결과 Hsp70와 Hsc70 모두 표현되었는데, 소뇌 조롱박세포에서 가장 강하게 표현되었으며, 다음으로 소뇌 과립세포에서 강하게 표현되었다. 또한 깊은소뇌핵의 신경세포들도 강하게 염색되었다. 배양한 P1 소뇌신경 세포를 Hsp70 항체로 염색한 결과 Hsp70는 조롱박세포와 과립 세포에서 모두 표현되었으며, 세포체와 가지돌기를 따라 점박이를 형성하였다. 이들 점 박이들은 PSD95 점박이와 같이 위치하였다. 그리고 PSD 분획을 이용한 면역염색에서도 PSD70이 검출되었다. 본 연구결과는 Hsp70이 정상조건에서도 소뇌신경세포의 연접에 존재함을 의미한다.

형질전환은 유전자의 기능을 이해하는데 매우 중요한 기법이다. $Ca^{2+}$-인산 침전법은 시간과 비용이 저렴하여 가장 흔히 사용된다. 그러나 성숙 신경세포는 어린 신경세포나 다른 세포종에 비하여 형질전환이 어렵고 쉽게 죽는다. 본 연구에서는 Clontech사의 $CalPhos^{TM}$ Mammalian Transfection 방법을 수정하여 성숙한 신경세포를 효율적으로 형질전환할 수 있는 방법을 고안하였다. 대뇌 신경교세포를 DMEM/10% 말혈청에서 70-80% confluence까지 키우고 배지를 혈청이 첨가되지 않은 Neurobasal/Ara-C로 바꾸어 주어 더 이상 신경교세포가 분열하지 않게 한 다음, 여기에 E19 해마신경세포를 접종하여 배양하였다. $DNA/Ca^{2+}$-인산 침전물은 Clontech사의 $CalPhos^{TM}$ Mammalian Transfection Kit을 이용하여 크기($0.5-1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter) 및 농도(약 10 particles/$100\;{\mu}m^2$)를 배지에서 배양시간을 변화시켜 적당히 조절하였다. 이렇게 하면 in vitro에서 2주 이상 배양한 신경세포도 24-well plate 한 well당 10-15개의 형질전환된 건강한 신경세포를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 방법의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여 연접단백질인 $EGFP-CaMKII{\alpha}$ 융합단백질과 RFP 단백질 유전자(각각 $pEGFP-CaMKII{\alpha}$ 및 pDsRed2)를 형질전환한 결과 전자는 점박이 모양, 후자는 세포전체에 퍼진 양상의 표현을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 성숙한 신경세포를 효율적으로 형질전환할 수 있는 방법을 제공한다. DNA transfection is a powerful tool for studying gene functions. The $Ca^{2+}$-phosphate precipitation remains one of the most popular and cost-effective transfection techniques. Mature neurons are more resistant to transfection than young ones and most other cell types, and easy to die if microenvironment changes. Here, we report a transfection protocol for mature neurons. The critical modifications are inclusion of glial cells in culture and careful control of $Ca^{2+}$-phosphate precipitation under microscope. Cerebral glial cells were grown until ${\sim}70-80%$ confluence in DMEM/10% horse serum, which was thereafter replaced with serum-free Neurobasal/Ara-C, and 319 hippocampal neurons were plated onto the glial layer Formation of fine $DNA/Ca^{2+}$-phosphate precipitates was induced using Clontech $CalPhos^{TM}$ Mammalian Transfection Kit, and the size ($0.5-1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter) and density(about 10 particles/$100\;{\mu}m^2$) were carefully controlled by the time of incubation in the medium. This modified protocol can be reliably applied for transfection of mature neurons that are maintained longer than two weeks in vitro, resulting in 10-15 healthy transfected neurons per a well of 24-well plates. The efficacy of the protocol was verified by punctate expression of $pEGFP-CaMKII{\alpha}$, a synaptic protein, and diffuse expression of pDsRed2. Our protocol provides a reliable method for transfection of mature neurons in vitro.

신경미세섬유(neurofilament, NF) 단백질은 신경세포의 주된 중간세사로서, NF-L (61 kDa), NF-M (90 kDa) 및 NF-H (115 kDa) 단백질의 공동중합체로 구성된다. 신경세사섬유는 신경세포의 성장, 구성, 형태 및 가소성에 중요한 역할을 하지만 발생학적 표현에 대하여는 아직 잘 알려지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 NF-M에 특이한 항체를 제조하여 배양한 대뇌신경세포에서 NF-M의 표현을 조사하였다. 배양 12 및 24시간 세포에서 NF-M은 축삭과 그 성장추 그리고 축삭에 가까운 세포체에 강하게 표현하였다. 배양 4 및 14일 신경세포를 NF-M과 PSD95 항체로 이중염색한 결과 NF-M은 축삭과 가지돌기에 공히 강하게 표현되었으며, PSD95와 같이 위치할 경우에는 점박이로 나타났다. .면역염색에서도 NF-M이 PSD 분획에서 검출되었는데, 따라서 이 점박이는 가지돌기가시임을 시사한다. 본 연구의 결과는 NF-M이 신경세포의 초기 형태발달과정에서 축삭으로 강하게 몰려가며, 성숙한 신경세포에서는 가지돌기 및 가지돌기가시에도 위치하여 특정기능을 수행함을 시사한다. Neurofilament (NF) proteins constitute the major intermediate filament type in adult neurons. They are made up by the copolymerization of the neurofilament light (NF-L, 61 kDa), medium (NF-M, 90kDa), and heavy (NF-H, 115 kDa) proteins. Although neurofilaments play a crucial .ole in neuronal growth, organization, shape, and plasticity, their expression pattern and cellular distribution in the developing neurons remain unknown. In this study, we have produced a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific to NF-M and investigated expression of NF-M in cultured cortical neurons. Immunostaining of 12 and 24 h cultures revealed strong expression of NF-M in axonal growth cone and in the region of a soma toward the axon. Doublestaining of 4 and 14 DIV corical neurons with NF-M and PSD95 antibodies revealed that both axon and dendrites were stained intensely with NF-M antibody, and that NF-M immunostaining along dendrites is often punctate and colocalize with PSD95 puncta, indicating that the puncta represent postsynaptic spines. Presence of NF-M in the postsynaptic spine was also indicated by immunoblot analysis of the postsynaptic density fraction. Taken together, our results show intensive targeting of NF-M into axons in the early axonal development, and into spines in mature neurons, indicating its important functions in axon and spine development.

N-Acetylglucosamine kinase (GlcNAc kinase or NAGK; EC 2.7.1.59)는 GlcNAc를 인산화하여 GlcNAc-6-phosphate를 만드는 효소이다. 효소자체에 대한 자세한 연구에도 불구하고 포유류에서NAGK의 표현에 대한 연구는 거의 없다. 배양한 흰쥐의 해마신경세포에서 NAGK은 세포체/가지돌기 영역에서 클러스터(cluster)를 형성한다. 본 연구에서는 가지돌기의 긴 축에서부터 가쪽으로 돌출되는 NAGK 클러스터에 대하여 연구하였다. 배양한 해마신 경세포를 NAGK와 다양한 연접표지단백질에 대한 항체로 이중염색한 결과 NAGK 클러스터가 가지돌기의 바닥에는 있었지만 억제성 연접후부위에는 존재하지 않았다. 또한 흰쥐 전뇌(forebrain)의 균질액(homogenate, BH), 연접체(synaptosome, S), 연접후치밀질(postsynaptic density, PSD) 분획을 NAGK 항체로 면역염색한 결과 NAGK는 연접체에는 있었지만 PSD 분획에는 존재하지 않았다. 이러한 결과들은 NAGK가 가지돌기가시(spine)의 바닥쪽으로 돌출됨을 의미한다. N-Acetylglucosamine kinase (GlcNAc kinase or NAGK; EC 2.7.1.59) catalyzes the phosphorylation of GlcNAc to GlcNAc-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P). Despite detailed characterization of the enzyme itself, there have been few studies on the expression of NAGK in mammalian tissues. In the rat hippocampal neuron in culture, NAGK-immunoreactivity (IR) formed clusters in somatodendritic domains. In this study we characterized the NAGK clusters that protrude out the long axis of dendritic shafts. By double-labeling of the neurons with antibodies against NAGK and various synaptic proteins, we show that NAGK is positioned at the base of spines, while there were no NAGK protrusions into inhibitory postsynaptic sites. Immunoblot analysis showed that NAGK was included in synaptosomes but not in PSD fractions. Our results indicate that the NAGK clusters at the dendritic periphery protrude into spines.

In this research, a basis test on steel fiber concrete's material property was carried out and optimum design as well as material property was examined. In corroboration of it, the compressive strength was compared with the tensile strength and this paper tried to get the initial load of flexural cracking and the ultimate load in the positive-negative moment section through the static test of beam. The addition rate of the steel fiber, 0.75 SFRC specimen was failed at 65~75% of the static ultimate strength and it could be concluded that fatigue strength to two million cycle was around 75.2%.
