Abstract

Little is known about roles of adipose tissue, although obesity is one of the potential risk factors in causing breast cancer and adipose tissue surrounding breast ductal cells is the largest organ. To identify the genes that are regulated by factors secreted from adipocytes in breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with the culture medium of adipocytes. In present study glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor-related protein ligand (GITRL) gene was studied among the induced genes. It was found that GITRL was significantly increased by the culture medium of adipocytes. Proteinase K-treated adipocyte culture supernatants failed to induce GITRL expression. These findings indicate that unknown protein factors are responsible for the induction of GITRL expression. The expression of GITRL did not affect the invasive ability of MDA-MB-231 cells, but coculture with NK92 expressing GITR suppressed the invasiveness of MDA-MB-231 cells.

비만은 유방암을 일으키는 잠재적 위험 요소 중 하나이며 현재 이들의 상관관계를 밝히려는 많은 연구들이 진행 중에 있다. 지방세포는 유방조직을 이루는 기질세포 중 가장 높은 비중을 차지하며, 이들이 분비하는 물질인 아디포카인이 유방암의 성장과 전이에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되어지고 있다. 지방조직이 생산하는 아디포카인들 중 렙틴은 유방암 세포의 증식능력을 증가시키고 아디포넥틴의 경우 반대로 증식억제 기능을 보인다는 연구 결과가 있다. 또한 정상의 경우와 비교해서 비만 환자에게서 렙틴의 양은 증가되어져 있으며 그와 반대로 아디포넥틴은 비만환자에게서 감소 경향을 보인다. 이는 비만에 의하여 변화되는 아디포카인들이 서로 작용하여 비만한 유방암환자의 유방암세포증식을 촉진할 수 있음을 뜻한다. 본 연구에서는 지방세포의 분비 물질인 아디포카인들에 의해 조절되는 유방암세포의 유전자들을 조사하기 위해 유방암세포주인 MDA-MB-231 세포주에 지방세포 배양액을 처리하였으며, 이 증가되는 유전자 중 glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor-related protein ligand(GITRL)를 선택 연구하였다. GITRL은 지방세포 배양액을 처리한 MDA-MB-231 세포주에서 높게 발현되었으며, proteinase-K를 처리한 지방세포 배양액에 의해서는 발현 정도에 변화가 없었다. 이는 지방세포가 분비하는 단백질인자 중 하나가 유방암 세포의 GITRL 발현을 증가시킴을 말한다. 또한 유방암 세포주 MDA-MB-231 세포에서 증가된 GITRL은 그 자체의 전이 능력에는 영향을 주지 못하였으나, glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor-related protein(GITR)을 발현하는 자연살해 세포주인 NK92세포와의 상호작용 때에는 전이 능력을 감소시켰다.
