초록

방사성옥소는 갑상선암의 핵의학적 영상과 방사성치료에 널리 그리고 성공적으로 사용되어 왔다. 최근 세포의 옥소섭취를 담당하는 운반체로서 Na/I symporter (NIS)의 분자세포학적 특성이 규명되고 그 유전자가 클로닝되면서 앞으로는 갑상선암 이외의 각종 암에도 NIS 유전자를 외부에서 전달함으로써 방사성옥소 치료를 적용하는 새로운 암치료 기술이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 방사성옥소를 이용한 암치료의 성공을 위해서는 NIS를 통한 표적세포의 옥소 섭취를 극대화 시키는 것이 핵심이다. TSH는 갑상선 세포의 NIS 발현을 항진시키고 retinoic acid는 갑상선암과 유방암 세포의 NIS발현을 증가시키는 효과가 있다. 또 일반 암세포에는 NIS 유전자를 전달하여 발현 시킬 수 있다. 그러나 NIS 발현 만으로는 원하는 수준의 방사성옥소 섭취를 충분히 얻지 못할 수 있다. 이는 세포의 옥소 섭취가 NIS 단백질의 총량이 아니라 세포막에 위치한 NIS의 양에 의해 결정되기 때문이다. 즉, 옥소를 섭취하려는 전사된 NIS단백질이 세포막으로 이동하여 정상적으로 기능하게 하는 조절 기전이 중요하다. NIS의 세포막 이동 기전은 아직 밝혀져 있지 않으나 다른 운반체와 유사하게 단백질의 전사후 glycosylation이나 phosphorylation이 관여할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구진은 NIS 유전자를 전달한 암세포에서epidermal growth factor를 통한 extracellular signal regulated kinase 신호경로의 활성화가 방사성옥소 섭취를 항진시킴을 관찰하여 NIS의 전사외 기능조절 기전을 조사하고 있다. 앞으로 NIS기능에 대한 조절기전이 보다 자세하게 밝혀지면 방사성옥소 치료기술과 NIS유전자 영상기술의 개선과 발전에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Radioiodide transport has been extensively and successfully used in the evaluation and management of thyroid disease. The molecular characterization of the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) and cloning of the NIS gene has led to the recent expansion of the use of radioiodide to cancers of the breast and other nonthyroidal tissues exogenously transduced with the NIS gene. More recently, discoveries regarding the functional analysis and regulatory processes of the NIS molecule are opening up exciting opportunities for new research and applications for NIS and radio iodide. The success of NIS based cancer therapy is dependent on achievement of maximal radioiodide transport sufficient to allow delivery of effective radiation doses. This in turn relies on high transcription rates of the NIS gene. However, newer discoveries indicate that nontranscriptional processes that regulate NIS trafficking to cell membrane are also critical determinants of radioiodide uptake. In this review, molecular mechanisms that underlie regulation of NIS transcription and stimuli that augment membrane trafficking and functional activation of NIS molecules will be discussed. A better understanding of how the expression and cell surface targeting of NIS proteins is controlled will hopefully aid in optimizing NIS gene based cancer treatment as well as NIS based reporter-gene imaging strategies.
