Abstract

The genetic instability of cancer cells may be related to inappropriately activated DNA repair pathways. In present study, the modulated expression of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), a major DNA repair protein, in human cancer metastatic cells was tested. The expressions of Ku70/80, regulatory subunit of DNA-PK, and the Ku DNA-binding activity in various highly metastatic cell lines were higher than those in each parental cell line. Also, the expression of DNA-PKcs, catalytic subunit of DNA-PK, and the kinase activity of the whole DNA-PK complex in highly metastatic cells were significantly increased as compared to those of parental cells, suggesting that the enhanced DNA repair capacity of metastatic cells could be associated with aberrant use of DNA repair, which may mediate tumor progression and metastatic potential. Increased EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) signaling has been associated with tumor invasion and metastasis, and the linkage between EGFR-mediated signaling and DNA-PK has been suggested. This study showed that PKI166, the new EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, modulated the expressions of Ku70/80 and DNA-PKcs and also revealed the chemosensitization effect of PKI166 against metastatic cells may be in part due to inhibition of Ku70/80. These results suggest that interference in EGFR signaling by EGFR inhibitor resulted in the impairment of DNA repair activity, and thus DNA-PK could be possible molecular targets for therapy against metastatic cancer cells.

암세포의 유전적 불안정성은 부적절하게 활성화된 DNA수복경로와 관련되어 있다. 전이성 암은 높은 유전적 불안정성을 나타내는데, 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 전이성 암세포에서의 중요한 DNA수복 단백질의 하나인 DN의존성 단백질 키나아제(DNA-PK)의 발현 변화를 조사하였다. 여러 종류의 전이도가 다른 암세포들을 대상으로 한 실험에서 전이성 암세포들은 각각의 모세포에 비하여 DNA-PK 성분의 조절 소단위인 Ku70/80의 발현 및 Ku의 DNA 결합 활성이 증강되어 있었다. 또한 DNA-PK의 촉매 소단위인 DNA-PKcs의 발현 및 whole DNA-PK복합체의 kinase의 활성도 전이도가 큰 암세포에서 그 모세포보다 증강되어 있음을 알 수 있어, 전이성 암세포의 증강된 DNA수복능은 부적절한 DNA수복을 일으켜 암의 진행 및 전이를 촉진시키는 원인이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다. 한편 암세포의 표피성장인자수용체의 신호전달의 증강은 암의 침윤과 전이에 관련되어 있으며, DNA-PK의 기 기능에도 영향을 줄 수 있는 가능성이 보고 된 바 있는데, 본 연구에서는 표피성장인자수용체의 신호전달과 DNA-PK의 관련성을 명확히 밝히기 위하여 새로 개발된 EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor인 PKI166의 DNA-PK의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. PKI166는 Ku70/80 및 DNA-PKcs의 발현을 억제하였고 이와 관련하여 전이성 및 항암제 다제내성 암세포에서 PKI166에 의하여 항암제에 대한 감수성을 증가시켜 항암제 내성을 나타내는 전이성 암세포 대한 치료법 연구에 DNA-PK가 분자적 표적이 될 수 있음을 밝혔다.
