My name is Jiyeon Seo, and I am a biologist majored in Animal Science, Applied Bioscience, and Food biomaterials. During my master course, I investigated biological functions of medicinal herbs and their active compounds on cancer prevention through phase 2 antioxidant enzymes mediated by Nrf2. Nrf2 is also a critical transcription factor in brain cells. Therefore, I was interested in the action of Nrf2 and ROS in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases. That is the reason why I investigated to neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement by phytochemicals in my doctorate course at Kyungpook National University. During working as a post-doc in College of Pharmacy at Seoul National University, I studied neuroinflammation and astrogliosis induced by Aβ which are the phenotypes of Alzheimer’s disease and tried to search for effective drug candidates from natural products for the devastating Alzheimer’s disease. Studying Alzheimer’s and Parkinson diseases are attractive and necessary research field to explore more in the future.

My research interests focus on biochemical and molecular biological studies regarding neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ROS-related disease. During my master course, I investigated biological functions of medicinal herbs in vitro and in vivo models. The central theme of my master thesis was to examine anti-carcinogenic activities of constituents of medicinal herbs that target Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzymes in hepatocarcinoma cells. My colleagues and I found that the methanol soluble extracts of Inula helenium are induced phase 2 detoxifying enzymes mediated by Nrf2 activation. In addition, we identified alantolactone and isoalantolactone, belonging to sesquiterpenes, and examined their Nrf2-dependent anti-carcinogenic activities (Seo et al., Phyt other Res, 2009 and Seo et al., J Med Food, 2009). In my doctorate course, the primary project was to investigate neuroprotection and cognitive enhancement by phytochemicals. We proved that glyceollins, a family of phytoalexin, derived from soybean by aspergilussojae inoculation, protected from glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultured neurons and mouse hippocampal HT22 cells (In preparation). My colleagues and I found that sesquiterpenes prevented to neuronal cell death induced by amyloid β25-35, one of the major reasons to develop Alzheimer’s disease, through Nrf2-dependent reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the animal study, we targeted amnesia induced by scopolamine treatment, and evaluated learning and memory abilities using behavior tests such as a Y-maze, a passive avoidance, and a Morris water maze tests in ICR, C57BL/6J Nrf2+/-, and Nrf2-/-transgenic mice. As the secondary project, we studied biological functions of phytochemicals, medicinal herbs, and food byproducts to target specific diseases or disorders such as phytoanti-cancer, anti-inflammation, antilaxative, hepatoprotection, and anti-obesity activities. For example, we proved that dehydroglyasperin C, isolated from licorice, suppressed NFκ B-dependent inflammationfrom acute lung injury through Nrf2 activation in mice, by intratracheal injection and immunocytochemical analyses. Based on the phenotypic marker expression, we showed that dehydroglyasperin C has beneficial effects on specifically LPS-injected lung damage in mice. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Agricultural Science Research Center at Kyungpook National University, I aim to explore anti-tumorigenesis of phytochemicals through targeting a breast cancer stem-like cell. During working as a post-doc in Seoul National University, I studied neuro-inflammation induced by amyloid beta42using microglial and astrocyte cell lines. Plus, I am searching effective drug candidates derived from natural products for the devastating Alzheimer’s disease. Through my research career, I have become fascinated by disease-targeted studies in conjunction with their action mechanism. I am especially interested in targeted agents for disease therapeutic strategies for brain disease. To study more in your group regarding the chloride channel physiology and biochemistry will be the greatest opportunity for me to enlarge my research area and view point. In the future, I’d like to apply the chloride channel relationship to neurodegenerative disease therapy. Thus, I seek fundamental and applied biological insights in biology as well as to help develop therapeutic strategies based on biochemistry using molecular biology.

Saartjie Roux, a Physiologist, received her Doctorate in Medical Sciences from Pretoria University (South Africa). In 1988 she was appointed as lecturer at the University of Port Elizabeth in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology. Currently she is associate professor at the Nelson Mandela University (Port Elizabeth). Saartjie Roux and her research students investigated in an in vivo model metabolic pathways leading towards insulin resistance. They also look at the metabolic effects of South African medicinal plants that can efficiently treat diabetes. In the recent years it became clear to them that changes in the liver can affect bile acid metabolism. Bile acids influence the microbiota and can contribute to colorectal cancer. Microbiota and colorectal cancer have therefore also become strong research areas and the link with metabolic syndrome.

I graduated from Seoul National University and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Then I was affiliated in Department of Biochemistry, Hallym University College of Medicine. I worked in Howard Hughes Medical Institute in University of Washington as a postdoctoral fellow and associate researcher. I initiated the research about Rab3A, Ras-related small GTPase in HHMI. We found that Ca2+/calmodulin binds to Rab3A in synaptic vesicle, releasing Rab3A from synaptic vesicle (JBC 272:20857-20865, 1997). The protein interaction was demonstrated to be essential for exocytosis for neurotransmitter secretion (EMBO J. 18:5885-5891, 1999). Then, I have been interested in Rho GTPases, because they critically regulate a lot of cellular functions. In particular, I am recently working in RhoA-mediated tumorigenesis. We found that cysteine16/20 oxidation and tyrosine42 phosphorylation of RhoA are critical for tumorigenesis. Recently, we submitted a manuscript that pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) are important for cancer cell proliferation. Now we are working on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and metabolic enzymes, which are relevant to tumorigenesis.

Regulatory Functions of Small GTP-binding proteins in the following areas: 1. Tumorigenesis through RhoA GTPase, NF-κB and β-catenin in response to ROS, EGF and Wnt. 2. Insulin signaling and insulin resistance and metabolic enzymes (PKM2, PDH) related to cancer. 3. Macrophage functions: phagocytosis, ROS formation, and tumor associated macrophage (TAM). 4. Regulation of neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells upon NGF, FGF, cAMP, and Aβ peptide.

The current focus of my work is on defining the mechanism and structures of protein interactions. These interactions include protein-protein, proteinmembrane and protein-DNA interactions. Currently two systems are being employed to study these interactions. One is the ion channel protein, CLIC, that plays a fundamental role in the cell cycle, and the other is the nuclear transcription factor, FOXP2, that is implicated in cognition and theacquisition of language. The objective of the CLIC project is to design a system whereby the interaction of the protein with the membrane can be assessed. This is crucial for any functional studies. Techniques include microscopy, liposome work, spectroscopy and NMR. The FOXP2 project aims at studying the interaction between the transcription factor and specific “cognate” DNA sequences. The effect of dimerisation as well as interaction with other proteins is under investigation. The ultimate objective with this project is to understand how FOXP2 transcription is regulated. Techniques include SELEX, spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, stopped flow kinetics and x-ray crystallography.
