Abstract

Potassium channel openers (KCOs) produce physiological and pharmacological defense mechanisms against cell injuries caused by oxidative stress of diverse origins. Openings of mitochondrial and plasmalemmal $K^+$ channels are involved in the defense mechanisms. This study tested whether NS 1619, an opener of large-conductance BK channels, has a similar beneficial influence on the pigment epithelial cells of retinas. The human retinal pigment epithelial cell line ARPE-19 was exposed to $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in the absence and presence of NS 1619. The degrees of the cells' injuries were assessed by analyzing the cells' trypan-blue exclusion abilities and TUNEL staining. NS 1619 produced remarkable protections against cell injuries caused by $H_2O_2$. It prevented apoptotic and necrotic cell deaths. The protective effect of NS 1619 was significantly diminished when the cells were treated with NS 1619 in combination with the BK channel-blocker paxilline. NS 1619 significantly ameliorated cellular ATP deprivations in $H_2O_2$-treated cells. It helped mitochondria preserve their functional integrity, which was estimated by their MTT reduction abilities and mitochondrial membrane potential. In conclusion, it was suggested that NS 1619 had a beneficial effect on mitochondria in regards to preserving their functional integrity under oxidative stress, and it produces defense mechanisms against oxidant-induced cell injuries in ARPE-19 cells.

$K^+$ 통로 개방제들은 심근, 뇌, 골격근 등에서 세포막 혹은 미토콘드리아 내막에 존재하는 큰 전도성의 $Ca^{2+}$-의 존성 $K^+$ (BK) 통로 및 ATP-조절성 $K^+$ 통로(ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channels, $K_{ATP}$)에 작용하여 허혈성 혹은 산화성 세포 손상을 완화하는 효과가 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 망막 색소 상피세포주인 ARPE-19 세포를 실험 모델로 하여 큰 전도성의 BK 통로 개방제인 NS 1619가 유사한 보호 효과를 나타낼 수 있는지, 또한 그 작용기전이 무엇인지를 확인하고자 하였다. AREE-19 세포를 여러 형태의 산화 스트레스에 노출시켜 세포 손상을 유발하고 그 손상의 정도 및 이에 미치는 NS 1619의 효과를 trypan blue 배출능, Tunel 염색 분석을 통하여 측정하였다. NS 1619는 여러 형태의 산화 스트레스에 의한 괴사성 및 apoptosis에 의한 세포 손상을 효과적으로 방지하였으며 그 보호 효과는 BK 통로 봉쇄제인 paxilline 의해 차단되었다. NS 1619는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포내 ATP 고갈을 현저히 완화시켰으며, 또한 MTT 환원능으로 측정한 미토콘드리아의 기능을 보호하는 효과를 보였다. 유세포형광 분석법을 이용한 실험에서 NS 1619는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 미토콘드리아 막전압의 소실을 유의하게 방지하였다. 이상의 결과들을 종합하면 NS 1619는 망막 색소 상피세포에서 산화성 세포 손상을 방지하는 효과를 나타내며 그 기전에 미토콘드리아 기능에 대한 보호 작용이 연관되어 있는 것으로 사료된다.
