Abstract

Purpose : To examine whether a synthetic bile acid derivatives (HS-1200) sensitizes the radiation-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and to investigate the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods : Human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) in exponential growth phase were treated with HS-1200 for 24 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$ with 5$\%$ CO$_{2}$ in air atmosphere. After removal of HS-1200, cells were irradiated with 2$\~$8 Gy X-ray, and then cultured Ii drug-free media for 24-96 hours. The effect of radiation on the clonogenicity of MCF-7 cells was determined with clonogenic cell survival assay with 16$\mu$M of HS-1200. The induction of apoptosis was determined using agarose gel electrophoresis and Hoechst staining. The expression level of apoptosis-related molecules, such as PARP, Bax, Bcl-2, Bak and AIF, were assayed by Western blotting analysis with 40$\mu$M of HS-1200 combined with 8 Gy irradiation. To examine the cellular location of cytochrome c, bax and AIF immunofluorescent stainings were undertaken. Results : Treatment of MCF-7 cells with 40$\mu$M of HS-1200 combined with 8 Gy irradiation showed several changes associated with enhanced apoptosis by agarose gel electrophoresis and Hoechst staining. HS-1200 combined with 8 Gy irradiation treatment also enhanced production of PARP cleavage products and increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio by Western blotting. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential ($\Delta$$\psi$$_{m}$) and increased cytochrome c staining indicated that cytochrome c had been released from the mitochondria in HS-1200 treated cells. Conclusion : We demonstrated that combination treatment with a synthetic chenodeoxycholic acid derivative HS-1200 and irradiation enhanced radiation-induced apoptosis of human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). We suggest that the increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio In HS-1200 co-treatment group underlies the increased radio sensitivity of MCF-7 cells. Further futures studies are remained elusive.

목적 : 인체 유방암 세포주인 MCF극에 새로운 CDCA합성유도체인 HS-1200을 방사선과 함께 처치하여 아포토시스 유도 활성 및 방사선 감작 효과를 관찰하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : MCF-7 세포에 2$\~$8 Gy의 X-ray와 16$\mu$M 농도의 HS-1200을 처리한 세포들의 세포 생존 곡선을 clonogenic assay를 통하여 구하였다. 아포토시스 유도 확인은 8 Gy의 X-ray와 40$\mu$M 농도의 HS-1200을 전 처치하여 구한 agarose gel 전기영동 및 Hoechst staining을 이용하였다. 면역형광법을 이용한 cytochrome c, Bax 및 AIF들의 관찰과 미토콘드리아 막전위 측정을 시행하였다 Western blotting을 통한 PARP (poly (ADP-ribose) poly-merase) cleavage, Bax, Bcl-2, Bak 및 AIF 들의 발현을 관찰하였다. 결과 : 2$\~$8 Gy의 X-ray를 조사한 군(R)과 HS-1200 처리 후 2$\~$8 Gy의 X-ray를 조사 한 군(HR)의 세포 생존 곡선을 비교하니 HR군에서 세포 감작 효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. DNA ladder는 R군에서는 72시간재 관찰되는 반면에 HR 군에서는 24시간째 관찰되어 DNA 분절이 빠르게 진행됨을 알 수 있었고, PARP cleavage의 관찰에서도 R 군에 비해 24시간 빠르게 진행되었다. 면역 형광법을 이용한 실험에서도HR군이 R 근에 비하여 미토콘드리아 막전위($\Delta$$\psi$$_{m}$)의 급격한 감소, cytochrome의 다량 방출, Bax의 증가된 점상 변화 등이 관찰되었고, AIF의 변화는 뚜렷하지 않았다. Western blotting을 이용한 Bax, Bcl-2, Bak 및 AIF들의 발현을 관찰하였을 때 Bax 만 HR 군에서 시간대별로 증가되는 추세를 보인 반면 Bcl-2, Bak 및 AIF들의 발현은 특이한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 결론 : 인체 유방암 세포주(MCF-7)에서 새로운 담즙산 합성 유도체인 HS-1200은 방사선 조사에 의한 아포토시스의 유도를 감작시키는 사실을 관찰하였다. 아포토시스 유도감작 증가는 Bax/Bcl-2 분율의 상대적 증가로 기인한다고 생각한다. 상기 결과를 토대로 HS-1200의 항암 치료제로서의 역할에 관한 기초 자료로서의 유용성을 제시할 수 있었다.
