초록

목 적: 영양막세포의 과도한 세포자멸사는 태반의 발달뿐 아니라 산과 질환을 유발하는 요인으로 알려져 있다. X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP)은 임신 기간 동안 영양막세포의 세포자멸사와 관련되어 있다고 알려져 있으나, 자간전증을 유발하는 인자인 저산소성과의 관계에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 XIAP가 정상 태반과 자간전증 산모의 태반에서 발현 양상의 차이를 분석하고, 저산소 상태에 노출된 HTR-8/SVneo 영양막세포주에서의 XIAP 기능을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법: XIAP 발현을 분석하고자, 정상 태반 (n=15), 중기 자간전증 태반 (n=11), 그리고 말기 자간전증 태반 (n=15) 조직을 수집하여 RT-PCR, 면역조직화학법, 그리고 Western blot 등을 실시하였다. 저산소성 상태에서 XIAP의 기능을 확인하고자 HTR-8/SVneo 영양막세포주에 1% 산소가 공급되는 hypoxia 상태에 노출시킨 뒤 12시간, 24시간 후에 각 세포자멸사 관련 유전자들의 발현을 fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)와 Western blot 분석 등을 실시하였다. 결 과: XIAP는 태반의 합포영양막세포와 포합체결절에서 발현이 관찰되었으며, 정상 태반보다 자간전증 태반에서의 발현이 현저히 감소됨이 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 또한, 저산소 상태에 노출된 HTR-8/SVneo 영양막세포주에서 감소된 XIAP 발현은 세포질에서 핵으로의 이동에 따라 세포자멸사를 유발하는 단백질들의 발현이 증가됨이 관찰되었다. 결 론: XIAP의 발현은 태반 발달 및 자간전증 태반에서 XIAP 유전자의 발현은 감소되었으며, XIAP의 저하로 인한 caspase-9의 증가가 자간전증 태반에서의 세포자멸사는 더 많이 유도되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 저산소 상태에 의해 XIAP의 발현이 감소되었으며, XIAP 단백질의 세포질에서 핵으로의 위치 변화는 영양막세포의 세포자멸사에 중요한 역할을 하는 것이 관찰되었고, 이는 자간전증의 진단에 유용한 마커로써의 활용되기 위한 기본적인 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: Apoptosis plays an important role for the maintenance of the normal pregnancy. Expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) is able to effectively prevent apoptosis and controls trophoblast cells death throughout placental development, but it is still unknown in the function of XIAP in trophoblast cells exposed to hypoxic condition, which is one of the factors causing preeclampsia. Therefore, we conducted to compare XIAP expression in normal and pre-eclamptic placenta tissues and analyzed the function of XIAP in HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cell line exposed to hypoxic condition. Methods: The expression of XIAP was analyzed in placental tissues from the following groups of patients (none underwent labor): 1) term normal placenta (n=15); 2) term with pre-eclamptic placeneta (n=15); and 3) pre-term with pre-eclamptic placenta (n=11) using semi-quantitative RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot. In order to evaluate the function of XIAP in HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells under hypoxic condition, HIF-$1{\alpha}$ plasmids, and hypoxic condtion were transfected and treated into HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells for 24 hours, respectively. Results: We observed that XIAP are expressed in the syncytiotrophoblasts and syncytial knot of placental villi. The expression of XIAP was significantly decreased in preeclamptic placenta tissues than in normal placenta tissues without labor (p<0.05). Furthermore, we confirmed the XIAP expression in HTR-8/SVneo trophbolast cells exposed to hypoxia was translocated from cytoplasm into nucleus and decreased XIAP by hypoxic condition induced apoptosis in HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells through up-regulation of pro-apoptotic proteins. Conclusion: These results suggest that the expression of XIAP is involved in placental development as well as decreased expression of XIAP by hypoxia is associated with pre-eclampsia through inducing trophoblast cells apoptosis.
