Background Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute around 8% of the human genome and have important roles in human health and disease, including cancers. Previous studies showed that HERV envelope (Env) proteins are highly expressed in cancer tissues and co-related with cancer progression. KAP1 has been reported to play a key role in regulating retrotransposons, including HERV-K, through epigenetic silencing. Objective The relationship between KAP-1 and HERV Envs expressions was analyzed only in tumor cell lines and has not yet been studied in cancer tissues. In this study, we analyzed the expression patterns and relationship between KAP1 and HERV Env proteins in ovarian cancer tissues. Method The expression patterns of KAP-1 and HERV Env proteins, including HERV-K and HERV-R, were analyzed in ovarian cancer tissue microarrays that contained 80 surgical specimens, including normal ovary and malignant ovarian cancers. Results The expression of HERV-R Env and KAP1 proteins is signifcantly higher in ovarian cancer compared with normal ovary tissues. However, the expression of HERV-K Env did not change signifcantly in cancer tissues. The expression patterns of HERV-K Env and HERV-R Env signifcantly increased in early stages of cancer and KAP1 expression was higher in certain stage and types of cancers. However, the expression of HERV-K Env, HERV-R Env, and KAP1 did not change in diferent age groups. The correlation between the expression of KAP1 and HERV-Env, including HERV-K and HERV-R, was not signifcantly correlated. Conclusions The results of this study showed that there was no signifcant correlation between the expression of KAP1 and HERV Env proteins in ovarian cancer tissues, unlike studies with cell lines in vitro. These results suggest that the actual expression of HERV Env proteins in ovarian cancer tissues may be regulated through various complex factors as well as KAP1.

윤화중,임무열,구경완,최명진 충남대학교 기초과학연구소 1994 忠南科學硏究誌 Vol.21 No.1

Lead acetate trihydrate, zirconium iso-propoxide and titanium iso-propoxide used for the starting material to fabricate PZT coating solution. Iso-metoxy-ethanol used for the solvent of the starting material. Adding diethanolamine formed the chelate compound and prevented the hydrosis of coating solution. The coating sol solution is changed to M-O-M structure polymer gel by adding H_2O, and the polymer gel has the more strong bonding force. The cross-sectional SEM micrograph of PZT thin film showed that the metal of lower electrode was silicated with SiO_2 of buffer layer. The SIMS depth profile for PZT thin film indicated that the metal of lower electrode and silicon was diffused up to the upper part of PZT thin film. For the X-RD data of PZT thin film, the thin film on Pt substrate and with Ti buffer layer had strong perovskite phase. The PZT thin films measured by Sawyer-Tower circuit showed feroelectric characteristic representating D-E hysterisis curve. The remanent polarization and coercive field of the film was 1.92 C/㎠ and 33.3kV/㎝. I-V characteristic curve showed that the leakage currents and break down voltages of PZT thin films on Ni/SiO_2/Si, Ti/SiO_2/Si, Pt/SiO_2/Si substrate was 1.43 × 10 exp (-10) A/㎠, 1.19×10 exp (-10) A/㎠, 2.28×10 exp (-10) A/㎠ and 0.334 MV/㎝, 0.33 MV/㎝, 0.11 MV/㎝ each. C-V curve indicated dielectric constant 57 The resistance antiresonance frequency of PZT film was 612 ㎒, and the resistance was 14 ㏀ at that frequency.

임규,김진희,권도원,김승민,이명선,윤경아,손미영,박종일,윤완희,황병두 충남대학교 생물공학연구소 1999 생물공학연구지 Vol.7 No.-

Purpose: To gain insight on the role of AP-1 in transcriptional regulation of vimentin gene during differentiation of HL-60 cells by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the levels of vimentin mRNA and AP-1 have been investigated with Northern blot hybridization and DNA mobility shift assay. Materials and Methods: HL-60 cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum and antibiotics in a humidified 5% CO_2 at 37℃. Total RNA was prepared by a modification of the method of Karlinsey et al. Northern blot hybridization was performed by the method of Virca et al. EcoRI fragment of pVIM-GEM was used as probe for vimentin mRNA. DNA mobility shift assay was performed by the method of Lim et al. End labeled DNA probe(Upper strand, 5'-CGCTTGATGAGTCAGCCG- 3') for AP-1 binding activity was mixed with nuclear extracts in a 20 μl reaction volume containing 300 mM KCI, 60 mM HEPES, pH 7.9, 25 mM MgCI_2, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 60% glycerol, and 2 ㎍ of poly[dI-dC]. Results: TPA increased vimentin mRNA levels, with maximal stimulation reached at 24 hr. The level of vimentin mRNA was induced in proportion to the concentration of TPA. TPA-induced vimentin mRNA was almost reduced by actinomycin-D pretreatment. TPA-induced stimulation of vimentin gene was completely reduced by staurosporin pretreatment. In DNA mobility shift assay, AP-1 newly appeared at 24 hr during TPA-induced differentiation and was almost not detected after the pretreatment of staurosporin. Conclusions: These results suggest that the induction of vimentin mRNA during TPA-dependent differentiation in HL-60 cells may be mediated by protein kinases C signal transduction and AP-1 is important to transcriptional regulation.

Before coating, H2O was added in to the solution, the polymer gel which is M-O-M structure was formed, and then the strong durable film was made. As a result of the analysis by TGA, dry temperature was between 90℃ and 120℃, presintering temperature was indicated between 300℃ and 400℃. As a result of observing the SEM cross section of the film in the pictures were taken, the reaction of membrane and substrate caused by TiN-Ti-TiN buffer layers, and the abnormality was not detected in the boundary surfaces. As a result of checking of the X-RD film crystallization, the crystallization is best at 550℃ sintering and at 600℃ upper the over sintering is made on the both of Pt substrate and Pt/TiN-Ti-TiN/Si substrate.

변연성 발육성 치아종 : A Case of Peripheral Developing Odontoma

윤정훈,임경수,손홍범 조선대학교 구강생물학연구소 2003 Oral Biology Research (Oral Biol Res) Vol.27 No.1

A peripheral odontoma is a relatively rare lesion and is thought to represent the soft tissue counterpart of the central or intraosseous odontoma. Although several odontogenic tumors can occur peripherally, only a few cases of peripheral odontomas involving the gingival tissues have been reported. No earlier stage of peripheral odontoma or peripheral developing odontoma has been described. Here, we report a case of a peripheral developing odontoma occurring in the gingiva of a 4-rear-old Korean boy. Microscopic sections showed several nodules of developing rudimentary tooth germ-like structures in the gingival tissue. It seems likely that this case arise from remnants of the dental lamina located in the gingiva, since the clinical and histologic presentation lends support to the peripheral origin of this tumor.
