LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2) has been identified as a gene corresponding to PARK8, an autosomal-dominant gene for familial Parkinson`s disease (PD). LRRK2 pathogenicspecific mutants induce neurotoxicity and shorten neurites. To elucidate the mechanism underlying LRRK2 expression, we constructed the LRRK2-promoter-luciferase reporter and used it for promoter analysis. We found that the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transactivated LRRK2 in a ligand-dependent manner. Using quantitative RT-PCR and Western analysis, we further showed that treatment with dexamethasone, a synthetic GR ligand, induced LRRK2 expression at both the transcriptional and translational levels, in dopaminergic MN9D cells. Dexamethasone treatment also increased expression of α-synuclein, another PD causative gene, and enhanced transactivation of the α-synuclein promoter-luciferase reporter. In addition, dexamethasone treatment to MN9D cells weakly induced cytotoxicity based on an LDH assay. Because glucocorticoid hormones are secreted in response to stress, our data suggest that stress might be a related factor in the pathogenesis of PD. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(9): 454-459]

본 연구에서는 토끼 골격근 소포체에서 분리한 근소포체의 ATPase활성에 대한 일반적 특성과 수종의 2가 양이온(??)의 영향에 관한 연구를 하였다. ATPase활성과 Ca uptake에 미치는 2가 양이온의 저해 효과와 저해기작은 Dixon plot, Lineweaver-Burk plot, Hanes-Woolf plot, Woolf-Augustinsson-Hofstee plot, Eadie-Scatchard plot, Arrhenius plot등을 이용하여 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 근소포체의 ATPase는 ??과 ??의 존재하에서 활성화 되어지며 ??의 농도가 4mM일 때 ??의 최적 농도는 0.1mM이었다. 2. 근소포체의 ATPase는 ??-ATPase와 (??)-ATPase로 구성되어 있고 (??) - ATPase의 활성은 ??-ATPase의 활성보다 높았다. 3. ATPase의 활성화 에너지는 약 19Kcal/mol이었다. 4. ATPase 활성에 미치는 2가 양이온은 12.5㎛과 400㎛의 범위 내에서 이온 농도가 증가됨에 따라서 활성도는 점점 감소되었다. 5. ATPase활성율 50% 저해시키는데 2가 양이온의 농도는 Ki값과 같아서 ??, ??, ?? Pd ??에 대한 각각의 농도는 10㎛, 30㎛, 130㎛ 및 350㎛이었다. 특히 ??은 저 농도에서 (12.5-100㎛)는 활성제로, 고농도에서 (200-400㎛)는 저해제로 작용하는 것 같다. 6. 2가 양이온은 ATPase의 Km에는 변화를 주지 않으나 Vmax의 저하를 일으키는 것으로 보아 비경쟁 저해제임이 판정되었다. 7. 2가 양이온은 가역적 저해제임이 판명되었다. 8. Ca 吸收能에 대한 CuCl₂의 阻害는 50~500㎛의 CuCl₂농도에서 현저히 나타났으며 이 현상은 Ca 吸收能과 ATPase 活性과 밀접한 관계를 보여주는 것이다. General properties of the ATPase and the effects of the divalent cations (??) on the total ATPase activity of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle were investigated in the present resent research. The inhibitory effect of divalent cations on the FSR ATPase activity and its mechanism were analyzed by various plots such as Dixon plot, Lineweaver-Burk plot, Hanes-woolf plot, Eadie-Scatchard plot and Arrhenius plot. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The FSR ATPase is activated by ?? and ??; the optimum concentration of is 0.1 mM in the presence of 4 mM MgCl₂. 2. The FSR ATPase could be distinguished as ??-ATPase and (??)-ATPase. The activity of (??)-ATPase predomiant over that of ??-ATPase. 3. The apparent energies of activation for total ATPase was approximately 19Kcal/mole. 4. The inhibitory effects of the divalent cations on the enzyme activity increased as the concentrations of the divalent cations increased in the concentrations between 12.5 and 400㎛. 5. Concentration of 50% inhibition for each divalent cation was almost identical with the inhibition constant (ki). The Ki's were 10,30,130, and 350㎛ for ??, ??, ??, and ??, respectively. ?? seemed to be anactivator at lower concentrations and an inhibior at higher concentratios. 6. The divalent cations did not change the Km but decreased the Vmax of the FRS ATPase, suggesting that they are noncompetitive inhibitors on the FSR ATPase. 7. The divalent cations were also found to be revesible inhibitors on the FSR ATPase. 8. The inhibitory effect of CuCl₂on a uptake increased as the concentration CuCl₂increased in the range between 50㎛.

동일한 시료에 대한 국내 기관간의 STR 분석결과 비교 : STR 유전자좌 분석법의 표준화 설정을 위하여

박종태,신경진,양윤석,우광만,이숭덕,이승환,이정빈,정연보,조승희,한길로,한면수,홍승범 大韓法醫學會 2001 대한법의학회지 Vol.25 No.1

This paper described a collaborative exercise intended to see what kinds of short tandem repeat (STR) loci are used in different DNA typing laboratories in Korea and to compare their results for the demonstration whether uniformity of DNA profiling results from different laboratory could be achieved in Korea Laboratories were asked to test five tissue DNAs using methods routinely used in each laboratory and to report the results to the coordinating laboratory. The exercise demonstrated that each laboratory was using different STR loci for the typing with different STR numbers,2 VNTRS,36 STRs and amelogenin in total, and the direct comparison of the results from all the laboratory for the 18 loci could not be done as only one laboratory submitted typing results. Among 21 loci for which several laboratories submitted typing results, results for 14 loci were the same and results for the other 7 loci were different depending on the participating laboratory. D1S80, F13A01, D16S539, D21S11, D18S51, D3S1744 were the loci with different typing results. Even in the cases where commercial kits were used, the results were not the same depending on the machines used, that is the capillary electrophoresis or the gel based electrophoresis. The reason for the different results, points about the standardization of the methods arid the profiling data were described.

電導性 Polyvinylidene fluoride/Polyacrylonitrile/Polypyrrole 複合體 필름의 製造와 電氣的 性質

朴然欽,金連相,南成祐 成均館大學校 科學技術硏究所 1989 論文集 Vol.40 No.1

Electrically conducting PVDF/PAN/poly(pyrrole) composite r s have teen prepared by polymerizing pyrrole vapor in PVDF/PAN composite films impregnated with ferric chloride as an oxidant. As polymerization of pyrrole proceeds, poly(pyrrole) has been observed as uniform continuous phase in PVDF/PAN composites. The electrical conductivities of composite films reach in the range of 10^-3∼10^-2S/cm and the stability of conductivity to the ambient air exposure is excellent. The formation of poll (pyrrole) in PVDF/PAN composites has induced increasing disorder in host composite matrix and increased the tensile elongation.

박연흠,박학수,남성우,안동문 成均館大學校 科學技術硏究所 1992 論文集 Vol.42 No.2

Electrically conducting nylon 6/polypyrrole composite films and fabrics have been prepared by polymerizing pyrrole vapor in nylon 6 matrix containing cupric chloride as an oxidizing agent. After polymerization of pyrrole for 30 min, the conductivities of composites reach as high as 10^-3∼10^-2 S/cm depending on the content of oxidizing agent. The stability of conductivity to ambient air exposure is excellent ; there occurs little change in conductivity on exposing the composites to ambient air for one month. The nylon 6 composite fabrics containing 14∼25 wt.% of polypyrrole show an excellent antistatic properties.

박윤우,박세희,신혜진,조경모,김진우 大韓齒科保存學會 2005 Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics Vol.30 No.3

포스트가 축조된 치아를 재근관 치료하는 경우 성공적인 비외과적 재근관치료를 시행하기 위해서는 포스트 제거가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 포스트를 제거하는 방법으로는 초음파기구, Ruddle post removal system, Eaggler post remover, Masserann kit을 이용하는 방법 등 여러 가지가 소개 되고 있으나 기존의 방법들은 각 기구에 맞게 코어를 삭제해야 하는 시간과 많은 노력이 요구되며 포스트 제거시 치아나 포스트의 파절이 유발되기도 한다 그러나 최근에는 기존의 방법과는 다른 ATD automatic bridge remover를 이용해 포스트를 제거하는 새로운 방법이 소개되고 있으며 코어에 구멍을 형성하는 시간만 소요되어 비교적 빨리 제거 할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 증례에서는 ATD automatic bridge remover를 이용해 주조포스트를 제거하고 성공적으로 재근관치료를 시행한 증례에 대해서 보고하고자 한다. It is common for clinicians to encounter endodontically tl·treated teeth that contain posts within their roots. If endodontic treatment is failed, these posts must be removed to facilitate successful nonsurgical retreatment. There have been many techniques such as ultrasonic instrument, Ruddle post removal system, Eggler post remover and Masserann kit developed to facilitate removal of posts from the root canal space. But these methods may be disadvantageous because long length of time required for post removal and fracture of post or teeth. In now days new post removal technique using ATD automatic bridge remover was introduced. Advantages of this method are simple and short time consuming compare to others. This article served as a successful case report of post removal using ATD automatic bridge remover.
