Kim, Ki-Hyun,Eom, Sung-Hwan,Kim, Hyo-Jung,Lee, Dae-Sung,Nshimiyumukiza, Ossiniel,Kim, Dongsoo,Kim, Young-Mog,Lee, Myung-Suk The Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Scienc 2014 Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Vol.17 No.2

With the continuing demand for new solutions in the development of effective and safe candidiasis therapies, we investigated the efficacy of an antifungal agent from the marine brown alga Eisenia bicyclis. The methanolic extract of E. bicyclis evinced potential antifungal activity against Candida species. The ethyl acetate (EtOAc)-soluble extract from E. bicyclis demonstrated the strongest antifungal activity against Candida species among five solvent-soluble extracts. Indeed, the EtOAc-soluble extract showed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 4 to 8 mg/mL. Furthermore, the EtOAc-soluble extract considerably reversed high-level fluconazole resistance of Candida species. The MIC values of fluconazole against Candida species decreased substantially (from 64 to $4{\mu}g/mL$) in combination with the MIC of the EtOAc-soluble extract (4 mg/mL). The fractional inhibitory concentration indices of fluconazole ranged from 0.531 to 0.625 in combination with 4, 2, or 1 mg/mL of the EtOAc-soluble extract against Candida isolates, indicating that these combinations exert a marked synergistic effect against Candida isolates. These findings imply that compounds derived from E. bicyclis can be a potential source of natural antifungal agents against Candida species.

김(Porphyra yezoensis)은 김속의 홍조류이다. RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) 마커를 이용하여 한국 내 네 집단의 표현형과 유전적 다양성을 조사하였다. 전체적으로 20 시발체로 김에서 55분절이 관찰되었다. 이들 밴드 중 30개(54.5%)는 다형성을 나타내었다. OPA-18-02 밴드는 낙동 김 집단에서만 증폭되었다. OPA-20-02 밴드는 서천 김 집단에서만 증폭되었다. 이 두 밴드는 특별한 집단을 구별해주는 특이밴드로 판정되었다. 대립유전자좌위의 수(Ae)는 1.161에서 1.293로 평균은 1.366였다. 서천 김 집단이 가장 높은 다형성을 나타내었다(0.163). 다른 집단과 격리되고 조간대에 위치한 낙동 김 집단은 가장 낮은 다형성을 나타내었다(0.092). 샤논의 표현형 다양성(I)은 서천 김 집단이 가장 높았다(0.238). 전체 유전적 다양도(HT)는 0.132(OPA-02)에서 0.420(OPA-19)로 나타났다. 대립유전자좌위에서 유전적 다양성(HS)은 0.059(OPA-18)에서 0.339(OPA-19)였다. 대립유전자좌위에 근거에서 전체 유전적 다양도에서 집단 간 차이(GST)는 0.012(OPA-11)에서 0.762(OPA-18)이였으며 평균은 0.415였다. 이는 전체 변이의 약 42%는 집단 간에서 발견된다는 것을 의미한다. 종 내 다양도의 58.5%는 집단 내에 있었다. 유전자 흐름(Nm)은 0.705로 낮았다. Porphyra yezoensis is a red algal species in the genus Porphyra. The phenetics and genetic diversity of four populations of P. yezoensis in Korea were reconstructed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Overall, 55 fragments were generated among the tested P. yezoensis array with 20 OPERON primers. A total of 30(54.5%) of these bands were polymorphic. The OPA-18-02 band was amplified in the samples of Nakdong population and absent in them of other three populations. The OPA-20-02 band was only amplified in the Seocheon population. Both bands exhibited distinctive patterns in specific populations. The effective number of alleles per locus (Ae) ranged from 1.161 to 1.293 with a mean of 1.366. The Seocheon population had a high expected diversity (0.163). The Nakdong population was an isolated endemic and intertidal zone. Thus the narrow distributed Nakdong population had a low expected diversity (0.092). Shannon’s index of phenotypic diversity (I) of the Seocheon population (0.238) was the highest among all populations. Total genetic diversity (HT) varied between 0.132 for OPA-02 and 0.420 for OPA-19. The interlocus variation of genetic diversity (HS) was 0.059 for OPA-18 and 0.339 for OPA-19. On a per locus basis, the proportion of total genetic variation due to differences among populations (GST) ranged from 0.012 for OPA-11 to 0.762 for OPA-18 with a mean of 0.415, indicating that 42% of the total variation was found among these populations. In an assessment of the proportion of diversity present within this species, 58.5% (100%-41.5%) of genetic variation resided within the populations studied. The Nm was estimated to be low (0.705).

Cloning of the Gene for Na$^{+}$/Serine-Threonine Symporter (sstT) from Haemophilus influenzae Rd and Characteristics of the Transporter

Kim, Young-Mog The Microbiological Society of Korea 2003 The journal of microbiology Vol.41 No.3

A protein, exhibiting a high similarity to the major serine transporter of Escherichia coli, SstT, was found in Haemophilus influenzae Rd. A Na$\^$+/-stimulated serine transport activity was also detected in the cells. The gene (sstT) for the Na$\^$+//serine symporter from the chromosome of H. influenzae was cloned, and the properties of the transporter investigated. The serine transport activity was stimulated by Na$\^$+/. The uptake of Na$\^$+/ was elicited by the addition of serine or threonine into the cells, supporting the idea that these amino acids are transported by a mechanism of Na$\^$+//substrate symport. No uptake of H$\^$+/ was elicited by the influx of serine. The serine transport via the SstT of H. influenzae was inhibited by excess threonine, which was used as another substrate. The $K_{m}$ and the $V_{max}$ values for the serine transport were 2.5 ${\mu}$M and 14 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively.

Investigation of cell cycle arrest effects of actinomycin D at G1 phase using proteomic methods in B104-1-1 cells

Kim, Hyae-Kyeong,Kong, Mi-Young,Jeong, Moon-Jin,Han, Dong-Cho,Choi, Jung-Do,Kim, Hak-Yong,Yoon, Kab-Seok,Kim, Jung-Min,Son, Kwang-Hee,Kwon, Byoung-Mog Elsevier 2005 The international journal of biochemistry & cell b Vol.37 No.9

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Actinomycin D was previously reported as an inhibitor of Shc/Grb2 interaction in B104-1-1 cells. Actinomycin D arrested the cell cycle at the G1 phase at 1nM, which is about 10 times lower than the inhibition of Shc/Grb2 interactions in B104-1-1 cells. To evaluate other mechanisms of actinomycin D affected suppression of tumors and cell growth, except inhibition of Shc/Grb2 interactions, we examined the proteomic expression profile by proteomic technology. We found up-regulation of MEKK3 and down-regulation of Hsp70 expression from proteomic analysis, which is a very interesting observation because MEKK3 is strongly related with G1 arrest of cell cycle and Hsp70 is also involved in cell cycle regulation. These results indicate that the anti-tumor effects of actinomycin D is due to synergic effects of various proteins regulated by the compound including inhibition of the Shc/Grb2 interaction and other signaling pathways in the cytoplasm. Here we provide a mechanism-based explanation for growth inhibition by actinomycin D using proteomic technology. Thus, this approach may be a potentially useful method to reveal new mechanisms of active compounds or drugs with unknown cellular function.</P>

Kim, Bogeum,Kim, Min-Sung,Park, Seul-Ki,Ko, Seok-Chun,Eom, Sung-Hwan,Jung, Won-Kyo,Kim, Young-Mog The Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Scienc 2018 Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Vol.21 No.7

Background: Cutaneous bacterial pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Propionibacterium acnes are often involved in acne vulgaris. The currently available therapeutic option for these skin pathogens is an antibiotic treatment, resulting in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The objective of this study was to discover an alternative antibacterial agent with lower side effect from marine algae. Results: The ethanolic extract of edible brown algae Ishige okamurae exhibits potent antibacterial activity against cutaneous bacterial pathogens. Among the ethanol soluble fractions, the n-hexane (Hexane)-soluble fraction exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against the pathogens with MIC values ranging 64 to $512{\mu}g/mL$ and with minimum bactericidal concentration values ranging 256 to $2048{\mu}g/mL$. Furthermore, the combination with Hexane fraction and antibiotics (ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, and meropenem) exhibited synergistic effect. Conclusion: This study revealed that the I. okamurae extract exhibited a synergistic antibacterial effect against acnerelated cutaneous bacterial pathogens acquired antibiotic resistant. Thus, the results of the present study suggested that the edible seaweed extract will be a promising antibacterial therapeutic agent against antibiotic-human skin pathogens and its infections.

<P><B>Objectives</B></P><P>The objectives of this study were to compare the clinical features and the outcomes after thymectomy between patients with and without thymoma and to evaluate the influence of thymectomy on the subsequent clinical course of myasthenia gravis.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>Between 1995 and 2003, 64 consecutive patients underwent thymectomy, and of these, 60 patients were followed up for at least 12 months postoperatively. The study population was divided into 2 groups based on the presence of thymoma. We performed a retrospective analysis to compare the neurologic outcomes of thymectomy between patients with thymomatous myasthenia gravis and those with nonthymomatous myasthenia gravis.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Twenty-four patients had a thymoma. No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups regarding the preoperative severity of myasthenia gravis. There was no significant difference in the follow-up duration between the 2 groups. There was no significant difference in the overall remission rate between the 2 groups (<I>P</I> = .064). The mean time required to reach a remission was 10.6 months and 23.5 months in the thymoma and nonthymoma groups, respectively. The mean duration of remission was 43.1 months and 30.8 months in the thymoma and nonthymoma groups, respectively. In the early phase of follow-up, more patients reached remission in the thymoma group than those in the nonthymoma group (<I>P</I> = .040).</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>Neurologic outcomes of the thymoma group were no worse than those of the nonthymoma group. It is expected that earlier thymectomy is likely to result in a better prognosis by shortening the disease period, even for patients with nonthymomatous myasthenia gravis.</P>

Kim, Kyoung-Lan,Lee, Dae-Sung,Park, Mi-Sun,Eom, Sung-Hwan,Lim, Keun-Sik,Kim, Jong-Soon,Lee, Dong-Ho,Kang, Chang-Keun,Kim, Young-Mog,Lee, Myung-Suk The Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Scienc 2010 Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Vol.13 No.2

Norovirus, which causes gastroenteritis in humans, is an important food-borne pathogen worldwide. In an effort to discover an antiviral substance against norovirus, extracts from several seaweeds were evaluated for antiviral activity against feline calicivirus (FCV), which was used as a surrogate. The methanolic extract of Undaria pinnatifida exhibited the most significant antiviral activity and virucidal efficacy against FCV. The concentrations of the extract that reduced viral replication by 50% ($EC_{50}$) and resulted in the death of 50% of the host cells ($CC_{50}$) were 0.05 mg/mL and 1.02 mg/mL, respectively. The selectivity index, calculated from the ratio of the $CC_{50}$ and $EC_{50}$ was 20.4. No FCV infection of host cells occurred following a 1-h incubation in the presence of 12.50 mg/mL U. pinnatifida extract, indicating that the virus was completely inactivated by the extract treatment. The results obtained in this study will contribute to the development of a natural antiviral substance that will prevent food-borne disease caused by norovirus.
