Abstract

Mammalian cell is critically dependent on a continuous supply of oxygen. Even brief periods of oxygen deprivation can result in profound cellular damage. The aim of this study was to examine the possible mechanism of apoptosis in response to hypoxia in MC3T3E1 osteoblasts. MC3T3El osteoblasts under hypoxic conditions ($2\%$ oxygen) resulted in apoptosis in a time-dependent manner, determined by DNA fragmentation assay and nuclear morphology, stained with fluorescent dye (Hoechst 33258) Pretreatment with Z-VAD-FMK, a pancaspase inhibitor, or Z-DEVD-CHO, a specific caspase-3 inhibitor, suppressed the DNA ladder in response to hypoxia in a concentration dependent manner. An increase in caspase-3-like protease (DEVDase) activity was observed during apoptosis, but no caspase-l activity (YVADase) was detected. To confirm what caspases were involved in apoptosis, western blot analysis was performed using an anticaspase-3 or 6 antibody. The 17-kDa protein, that corresponds to the active products of caspase-3 and the 20-kDa protein of the active protein of caspase-6 were generated in hypoxia-challenged lysates, in which the full length forms of caspase-3 and 6 were evident. With a time course similar to caspase-3 and 6 activation, hypoxic stress also caused the cleavage of Lamin A, typical of caspase-6 activity. In addition, the hypoxic stress elicited the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol during apoptosis. These findings suggested that the activation of caspases accompanied by a cytochrome c release in response to hypoxia was involved in apoptotic cell death in MC3T3E1 osteoblasts.

본 연구는 MC3T3El 조골세포가 저산소증에 반응하여 유발될 수 있는 세포 고사조절 기전을 구명하고자 함에 목적이 있다. $2\%$ 저산소증의 조건하에서 MC3T3El 조골세포는 DNA 사다리 분절 헝성을 보였으며 형광성 염료인 Hoechst 33258로 염색된 핵 구조 형태 관찰시 시간이 지남에 따라 세포고사 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다 Pancaspase 억제제인 Z-VAD-FMK나 특정한 caspase-3 억제제인 Z-DEVD-CHO로 사전 처치하였을 경우에는 저산소증에 의한 DNA 사다리 분절형성이 농축에 비례하여 억제되었다. caspase-3류의 프로테아제(DEVDase) 활성 증가가 세포고사 중에 관찰되었으나 caspase-1 (YVADase)의 활성은 없었다. 어떤 caspase가 세포고사에 관여하는지를 확인하기 위하여 anti-caspase-3 또는 anti-caspase-6의 항체를 이용한 western blotting이 시행되었다. caspase-3의 활성산물에 해당하는 17-KDa단백질과 caspase-6의 활성산물인 20-KDa 단백질이 세포용해물에서 발생되었다. 또한 시간 경과와 더불어 caspase-6의 활동의 상징인 Lamin A의 분열을 일으켰으며, 사이토크롬 C를 cytosol로 방출하였다. 이로써 저산소증에 의한 조골세포의 고사 과정에 사이토크롬 C의 방출이 포함된 caspase의 활성이 관여한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
