초록

연구배경 : Arsenic trioxide($As_2O_3$)은 재발성 또는 불응성 급성전골수성백혈병의 치료제로 쓰이는 항암제로서 비소세포폐암을 포함한 다른 암세포주에도 효과가 있는 것으로 되어있다. NSAIDs는 항암 예방약제로 사용되고 있고, 세포고사를 통해 다른 항암제나 방사선치료의 반응성을 강화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 NCI-H157 세포주에서 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합치료가 그것들의 세포고사를 배가시키는지 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 세포 독성은 MTT 방법으로 측정하였고, 세포고사를 알아보기 위해 핵산 염색과 유식세포 분석을 시행하였다. 세포고사의 기전을 보기 위해 caspasefamily의 활성을 보았고, PARP와 ICAD의 분절을 western blotting으로 확인하였다. 또한 Fas와 Fas-L의 발현유무를 western blotting을 통해 관찰하였다. 결 과 : NCI-H157 폐암세포에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac을 병합치료시 단독치료군에 비해 생존율이 의미 있게 감소하였고, 이러한 세포사는 핵산염색을 통한 염색사의 응축과 핵 분절 유도와 유식세포 분석에 의한 $sub-G_0/G_1$ DNA분획의 증가현상을 통해 세포고사에 의해 매개됨을 알 수 있었다. 세포고사의 유도에는 caspase 3, 8, 9를 통한 활성화와 이에 의한 PARP와 ICAD의 절단을 확인하였다. 또한 caspase-8 protease의 활성화에는 Fas와 Fas/L 단백질의 발현증가가 유도되었음을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 :NCI-H157 폐암세포주에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합요법은 Fas/FasL 신호전달계의 활성화와 caspase 단백질 활성화 의해 세포고사가 유도되었다.

Arsenic trioxide($As_2O_3$) was introduced into the treatment of refractory or relapsed acute promyelocytic Ieukemia. Some investigators have reported that arsenic trioxide had induced apoptosis in a variety of solid human tumor cell lines, including non-small cell lung cancer. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) are powerful chemopreventive agents for gastrointestinal cancers and the growth of established tumors are reduced by inducing apoptosis. It's also reported that NSAIDs enhanced tumor response to chemotherapeutic drugs or radiation. In this study, we aimed to determine whether combination of arsenic trioxide with sulindac augmented its apoptotic potential in NCI-H157 human lung cancer cells. The human lung cancer cell line NCI-H157 was treated with arsenic trioxide and sulindac. Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay. Apoptosis was measured by nuclear staining and flow cytometric analysis. The catalytic activity of the caspase families were measured by the fluorogenic cleavage of biosubstrates. The western blotting were also performed to define the mechanical basis of apoptosis. Combination treatment of arsenic trioxide and sulindac decreased the viability of NCI-H157 human lung cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. The catalytic activity of caspase-3, 8 and 9 proteases were increased after combination treatment. Consistently PARP was cleaved from 116kDa to 85kDa fragments, and the expression of ICAD was decreased by time-dependent manner. Also combination treatment increased the expression of Fas and Fas/L. Combination therapy of arsenic trioxide with sulindac augments cell death and induces apoptosis via the activation of caspase cascade in NCI-H157 human lung carcinoma cells.
