초록

Redox factor-1 (Ref-1)은 산화적으로 손상된 DNA의 복구와 세포내 산화환원에 민감한 전사인자들의 활성화에 필수적인 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 마우스 유래 혈관내피세포주 (MAE)에서 nitric oxide (NO) 생성과정에 관여하는 AKT 활성화의 측면에서 adenoviral vector를 사용하여 과발현된 Ref-1의 역할을 살펴보았다. NO 측정을 위하여 fluorophore DAF-2를 사용하였다. 과발현된 Ref-1은 bradykinin으로 자극한 세포뿐만 아니라 자극되지 않은 세포의 NO 생성도 증가시켰다. 놀랍게도 이 과발현된 Ref-1은 AKT의 직접적인 인산화를 유도하였으며, AKT 저해제로 널리 사용되는 wortmannin에 의해 반응이 억제되었다. 또한, Ref-1에 의한 직접적인 AKT 활성화를 증명하기 위하여 HA-tagged activation-deficient AKT를 과발현시키는 adenoviral vector를 사용하였다. 이 방법을 이용한 AKT 활성의 저해는 과발현된 Ref-1에 의한 NO 생성 및 bradykinin 자극에 의한 NO 생성을 억제하였다. 이들 결과는 Ref-1이 마우스 혈관내피세포에서 직접적인 AKT 인산화를 통하여 eNOS 활성화를 유도한다는 것을 의미한다.

Redox factor-1 (Ref-1) is essential for repair of oxidatively damaged DNA and also govern the reductive activation of many transcription factors. In this study, we examined the effect of overexpressed Ref-1 on AKT activation for nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse aortic endothelial (MAE) cells. Adenoviral-mediated overexpression of Ref-1 enhanced NO production in unstimulated- as well as bradykinin-stimulated MAE cells. Importantly, forced overexpression of Ref-1 induced direct phosphorylation of AKT in cells. And, a PI3K inhibitor wortmannin completely abolished the increase in AKT phosphorylation by stimulation of bradykinin and/or overexpressed Ref-1. In addition, inhibition of AKT activity with HA-tagged activation-deficient AKT suppressed Ref-1-induced endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation and resulted in a corresponding inhibition of unstimulated- and bradykinin-stimulated NO production. These results suggest that Ref-1 stimulates direct phosphorylation of AKT for eNOS enzyme activity in murine endothelial cells.
