Abstract

Purification of methioninase resulted in a yield of 69%, and SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified product revealed a single band of approximately 43 kDa in molecular weight. in vitro experiments with cancer cells incubated in methionine-free media demonstrated an increase in $^{11}$ C-methionine uptake to 25.8$\pm$1.1% at 6 hr, 31.8$\pm$0.8% at 24 hr, and 62.2$\pm$0.6% at 48hr, compared to controls. Treatment of the cancer cells with purified methioninase showed no decrease in survival after a 2 hr incubation with 0.01 U/ml, but survival of RR1022 cells decreased 30% after 24 to 48 hr incubation. SKOV-3 cells showed a 5% and 14% decrease in survival with 0.1 and 1 U/ml methioninase after 24 hr. After 48hr survival decreased 15% and 24% with 0.1 and 1 U/ml methioninase. Measurements of $^{11}$ C-methionine uptake in RR1022 cells demonstrated no change at 2 hr, but a 13.7$\pm$4.7% and 40.7$\pm$2.6% increase in uptake at 24 and 48 hr, respectively. SKOV-3 cells also showed no change at 2 hr, but had a 17.7$\pm$7.2% and 38.9$\pm$4.9% increase in $^{11}$ C-methionine uptake after 24 hr and 48 hr treatment with methioninase, respectively. $^{11}$ C-methionine PET imaging revealed clear visualization of both the tumors and contralateral infectious lesions. Administration of rMET appeared to result in a slight increase in tumor:nontumor contrast on $^{11}$ C-methionine PET images. Injection of purified methioninase also produced PET images where tumor uptake was higher than that of infectious lesions.

1차 DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M ion exchange column chromatography 및 2차DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange column chromatography에 의해 정제를 수행한 결과 15.92 units/mg의 정제배율 및 비활성은 92배, 정제 효소의 순도는 SDS-PAGE에 의해 단일 밴드를 나타내었으며, 분자량은 43kDa으로 추정되었다. 래트의 대장암 세포인 RR1022세포와, 사람의 난소암 세포인 SKOV-3 세포에서 RPMI1640 배지와 methionine이 결핍된 RPMI1640 배지를 처리한 결과 정상군에 비해 대조군의 $^{11}$ C-methionine의 섭취 변화가 증가하였다. 종양세포인 RR1022, SKOV-3세포에 methioninase 투여하여 종양세포의 생존율의 변화를 trypan blue 기법으로 확인한 결과 배지내에서 종양세포의 증식에 필요한 methionine의 농도가 감소하여 DNA, RNA, Protein의 합성을 저해한다고 사료된다. 종양세포인 RR1022, SKOV-3세포에 methioninase를 투여한 결과 정상군에 비해 대조군이 시간 지나면서 $^{11}$ C-methionine의 섭취 변화가 증가하였다. 동물의 $^{11}$ C-methionine PET 영상 결과 종양과 염증병변이 모두 관찰되었다. rMET를 투석한 결과 염증병변의 섭취에 비하여 종양의 섭취가 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었으며, 정제한 methioninase를 투여하고 영상을 얻은 경우에도 종양 섭취가 염증보다 높게 나타났다. 종양세포에 methioninase를 처리하면 methionine의 섭취 요구량은 시간이 지나면서 증가하였으며 생존율은 감소하였다. 종양 동물모델에서도 methioninase를 투여한 경우 종양의 좋은 $^{11}$ C-methionine 섭취를 관찰할수 있었으며 methioninase의 이용이 종양의 검출에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
