Abstract

The present investigation has been performed to elucidate the effect of pretreatment with low dose of ultraviolet radiation (UV), ethyl methansulfonate (EMS), and bleomycin (BLM) on cell survival and lectin-binding glycoconjugates of plasma membrane in HeLa cells treated with mutagen. The percentage of survival of cells pretreated with 1 mM EMS following treatment with 10 mM EMS was higher than that of cells treated with 10 mM EMS alone. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining intensity of cells pretreated with 1 mM EMS and subsequently treated with 10 mM EMS was stronger than that of cells treated with 10 mM EMS alone. But, succinylated wheat germ agglutinin (sWGA) staining intensity of cells pretreated with 1 mM EMS and subsequently treated with 10 mM EMS was similar to that of cells treated with 10 mM EMS alone. These results suggest that the acquired resistance to EMS is related to the glycoconjugates containing sialic acid of plasma membrane involved in multidrug resistance or adaptive response in HeLa cells.

본 연구는 돌연변이원인 자외선과 ethyl methanesulfonate(EMS) 그리고 bleomycin(BLM)을 전처리한 HeLa 세포에서 세포막에 존재하는 glycoconiugates에 미치는 이들 돌연변이원의 효과를 밝히기 위하여 세포생존 실험법과 Lectin cytochemistry법으로 조사하였다. 1 mM EMS를 전처리한 후 10 mM EMS를 처리한 군의 세포생존율은 10 mM EMS를 단독처리한 군의 세포생존율 보다 더 높았다. 그리고 10 mM EMS 단독처리군 보다 1 mM EMS를 전처 리 한 후 10 mM EMS를 처리한 군에서 Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)은 더욱 강한 양성반응을 보였다. 반면에 succinylated wheat germ agglutinin (SWGA)는 10 mM EMS 단독처리군과 1 mM EMS를 전처리한 후 10mM EMS를 처리한 군에서 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, HeLa세포에서 EMS에 대한 획득된 저항성은 다내약제성 또는 적응반응과 관련되는 원형질막의 sialic acid를 포함한 glycoconiugates와 관계 될 것으로 추측된다.
