Abstract

목적 : 이 연구는 봉독이 세포자멸사 관련 단백질의 발현 조절을 통하여 세포자멸사를 유도하고 전립선 암세포주인 DU-145 세포의 성장을 억제하는지를 확인하고 해당 기전을 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법 : 봉독을 처리한 후 DU-145의 세포자멸사를 관찰하기 위해 TUNEL staining assay를 시행하였으며, 세포자멸사 조절단백질의 변동 관찰에는 western blot analysis를 시행하였다. 결과 : DU-145 세포에 봉독을 처리한 후, 세포자멸사의 유발, 세포자멸사 관련 단백질의 발현에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DU-145 세포에서 봉독을 처리한 후 세포자멸사가 유도되어 세포성장이 억제되었다. 2. 세포자멸사 관련 단백질 중 분리된 pro-apoptotic proteins인 PARP, caspase-3, caspase-9은 유의한 증가를 나타내었다. 3. 세포자멸사 관련 단백질 중 분리된 anti-apoptotic proteins인 Bcl-2, p-AKT, XIAP, cIAP2는 유의한 감소를, MMP2, MMP13은 유의한 증가를 나타내었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과는 봉독이 인간 전립선 암세포주인 DU-145의 세포자멸사를 유발함으로써 전립선암세포 증식억제 효과가 있음을 입증한 것으로 전립선암의 예방과 치료에 대한 효과적인 치료제 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
