Cytoprotective Effects of Polyamines Against Oxidative Stress

국문 초록 (Abstract)

폴리아민은 모든 진핵세포에서 발견되는 다가 양이온성의 저분자 물질이며 세포성장에 필수적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 폴리아민의 역할 중에서 산화적인 스트레스에 대한 세포보호 효과를 연구하였다. 쥐의 간세포주인 $Ac_2F$에 산화 스트레스를 유발하기 위하여 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dehydrochloride (AAPH)를 처리하였을 때, 세포증식은 농도 의존적으로 감소하였다. 배지에 폴리아민을 첨가하였을 때 세포성장은 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으며 ROS 발생은 현저히 감소하였다. 폴리아민 가운데 특히 spermidine과 spermine이 뚜렷한 세포증식효과를 보였다. Spermine의 경우, $20{\mu}M$농도에서 AAPH에 의해 유도된 ROS발생을 $45\%$나 감소시켰다. 산화 스트레스에 관여하는 효소들 가운데 주된 효소인 superoxide dismutate (SOD)와 catalase (CAT)의 세포 내 단백질을 Western blotting으로 조사한 결과, AAPH는 이 두 가지 단백질의 생성을 억제한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 spermine을 처리하였을 때 두 단백질의 생산은 모두 정상적으로 회복이 되었다. 또한 세포주기의 중요한 조절 단백질인 cyclin E 역시 AAPH에 의하여 생성이 억제되었다. 이는 AAPH에 의하여 생성된 ROS가 세포주기의 S phase의 진행을 억제한 것으로 생각된다. AAPH에 의한 cyclin E의 억제는 spermine에 의하여 정상적으로 회복되었다. 위와 같은 Spermine의 항산화 효과는 ethidium bromide와 acridine orange를 이용하여 형태학적으로도 증명되었다.

The polyamines are essential components of all eukaryotic cells and absolutely necessary for cell growth. In the present study, the cytoprotective role of polyamine was characterized. When $Ac_2F$ rat liver cells were treated with 1M 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dehydrochloride (AAPH), a water soluble free radical initiator, viability of the cells was noticeably decreased due to the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The cytotoxic effect of AAPH as well as ROS generation were significantly inhibited by the treatment of polyamines. Among polyamines, especially spermine at $20{\mu}M$ concentration exerted over $45\%$ inhibition of AAPH-induced ROS generation. Western blotting was performed to determine whether superoxide dismutase(SOD) or catalase (CAT) expression was involved in oxidative stress. The AAPH treatment blocked both SOD and CAT protein expressions. Spermine could recover those protein expressions to the untreated control levels. According to the result of cycline E measurement, AAPH might block the entry of the cells into S phase of the cell cycle. The reduced expression of cyclin E protein could be fully recovered by the addition of spermine. The antioxidative effects of spermine was also further proved by the apopotitic morphological analysis using ethidium bromide and acridine orange.
