Abstract

D-Ala2-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE), a hibernation inducer, can induce hibernation-like state in vivo and in vitro. We treated U937 human leukemia cancer cells with DADLE and investigated its possible effect on transcription and proliferation. Treatment of U937 cells with DADLE resulted in growth inhibition and induction of apoptotic cell death on high-dose as measured by MTT assay and DNA flow cytometer analysis. Bcl-XL, c-IAP-2 and survivin genes especially showed decreases in mRNA levels. DADLE treatment also inhibited the levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 mRNA without alteration of COX-1 expression. DNA flow cytometer analysis revealed that DADLE caused arrest of the cell cycle on low-dose, which was associated with a down-regulation of cyclin E at the transcriptional level. DADLE treatment induced a marked down-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-2, -4 and -6. In addition, treatment with DADLE decreased telomere associated genes such as, c-myc and TERT, and increased TEP-1 in U937 cells. These results suggest that DADLE can be an inhibition agent in the cell cycle of the human leukemia cancer U937 cell.

동면 개시인자로 알려진 DADLE는 여러 연구에 의해 in vivo와 in vitro 상에서 유사 동면 상태를 야기한다. 본 연구는 인체혈구암세포인 U937 세포주의 세포 사멸과 세포 주기 둥에 대한 DADLE의 영향을 살펴보았다. DADLE가 처리된 U937세포는 8${\sim}6$10 ${\mu}$M의 높은 농도에서 세포 증식이 감소하였으며, 0${\sim}6$ ${\mu}$M의 낮은 농도에서 영향이 없었다. DNA flow cytometer를 이용하여 세포 주기를 분석해본 결과 DADLE에 의한 세포 주기 억제가 관찰되었다. DADLE처리에 따른 세포 증식률 감소 및 세포 주기 억제효과를 전사 수준에서 조사한 결과 Bcl-XL, c-IAP-2의 발현 및 survivin의 발현 감소가 관찰되었으며, COX-2의 발현 역시 COX-1의 변화 없이 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한, cyclin E 와 cdk-2, -4 그리고 -6의 발현 역시 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다. Telomere 조절 관련 유전자의 경우도 c-myc과 TERT의 감소, 그리고 TEP-1가 증가하는 현상을 관찰하였다. 이상의 결과는 DADLE를 U937 암세포주에 처리했을 때 세포 주기의 억제를 통하여 life-time을 증가시킬 가능성을 시사하며 이에 관한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
