Mifepristone (MIF)은 프로게스테론 유사체이며, 강한 항프로게스테론 효과 때문에 전립선암 치료에 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MIF의 세포독성효과가 세포 내 칼슘농도 조절에 의한 것임을 밝힌다. 5-40 $\mu$M의 MIF를 처리 시 LNCaP 전립선암세포의 성장이 농도와 시간의존적으로 감소하였다. 반대로, 세포 내 칼슘의 레벨은 MIF의 처리시간과 농도도 의존적으로 증가하였다. MIF를 처리한 세포를 PI 혹은 Hoechst로 염색한 결과, 전형적인 세포자살의 징후인 응축된 염색질과 핵 조각단편들이 관찰되었다. 이들 세포자살징후 역시 MIF의 처리시간과 농도가 증가 할수록 심화되었다. 세포자살에 직접적으로 관여하는 중요한 단백질인 Bcl-2 그룹 단백질의 발현을 조사해 본 결과, 세포자살 억제단백질인 Bcl-2의 발현은 MIF처리시 치명적으로감소하였고, 대신에 세포자살 촉진단백질인 Bax의 발현은 2배로 증대되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 MIF의 세포독성효과는 세포 내의 칼슘조절에 따른 세포자살에 의한 것으로 생각된다.

MIF is a progesterone analogue and is known as a potent progesterone antagonist. Although MIF has been known to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth, its molecular mechanisms are not yet clear. In the present study, when the cells were treated for 2-4 days with 5-40 $\mu$M of MIF, the growth and viability of LNCaP cells were significantly decreased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. When the cells, cultivated in a normal 2 mM calcium concentration medium, were treated with 15 $\mu$M MIF for 1 day, the intracellular calcium level increased by 26% compared to the control. Similar results were also found in cells located in the calcium-free reaction buffer, indicating that MIF induced the increase of intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ levels, regardless of the presence of calcium in the surrounding medium. In the cells treated with various concentrations of MIF, the intracellular calcium levels increased in a dose dependent manner. Cells treated with MIF revealed typical early apoptotic signs, i.e., chromosome condensation and nuclei fragmentation. In cells treated with 40 11M MIF, Bcl-2 decreased to 19% of the control. The expression of Bax increased to almost 2 fold of the control. These results demonstrated very clearly that MIF treatment blocks the expression of Bcl-2 but stimulates the expression of Bax. According to the results of the present investigation, the apoptotic mechanism of MIF is triggered by intracellular modulation.

대상 데이터
All other chemicals were purchased from standard commercial sources. LNCaP prostate carcino ma cell line was obtained from the Korean Cell Line Bank, and maintained in DMEM containing phenol red with 10, 000 units/ml penicillin G, 10 mg/ml streptomydn, and 5% heat-inactivate FBS in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air; 5% CO2 at 37°C. Culture media were changed every 2 or 3 days.
데이터처리
Results were expressed as mean+SEM. Statistical sig nificances between the control and the treatment group were determined by one-way analysis of variance and then fol lowed by the Student T test. In all cases, a p value less than 0.
이론/모형
Cells were treated with MIF (20, 40 μM) for 3 day. After protein separation by SDS-PAGE, the proteins were blotted and detected by using ECL detection method. A representative of 3 ex periments is shown, (relative densities in number).
후속연구
These findings co incide with results showing the decrease of cell viability and the increase of intracellular Ca2+ level at even 20 gM MIF concentration. However, further experiments need to be per formed to confirm the more detailed functions of calcium in apoptotic regulatory proteins including caspases.
