Abstract

We investigated the effects of sodium butyrate, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, on the cell cycle progression in human monocytic leukemia U937 cells. Exposure of U937 cells to sodium butyrate resulted in growth inhibition, G1 arrest of the cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner as measured by MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis. The increase in G1 arrest was associated with the down-regulation in cyclin D1, E, A, cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 4 and 6 expression, and up-regulation of Cdk inhibitors such as p21 and p27. Sodium butyrate treatment also inhibited the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (pRB) and p130, however, the levels of transcription factors E2F-1 and E2F-4 were not markedly modulated. Furthermore, the down-regulation of phosphorylation of pRB and p130 by this compound was associated with enhanced binding of pRB and E2F-1, as well as p130 and E2F-4, respectively. Overall, the present results demonstrate a combined mechanism involving the inhibition of pRBjp130 phosphorylation and induction of Cdk inhibitors as targets for sodium butyrate that may explain some of its anti-cancer effects in U937 cells.

대표적인 histone deacetylase inhibitor 저해제의 일종일 sodium butyrate에 의한 인체백혈병 U937세포의 증식 억제에 관한 기전 연구를 세포주기 조절 측면에서 조사하였다. MTT assay 및 flow cytometry 분석을 통하여 sodium butyrate의 처리 농도 증가에 따른 U937 세포의 증식억제는 세포주기 G1 arrest 및 apoptosis 유발에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. RT-PCR및 Western blotting 결과에서 sodium butrate에 의한 G1 arrest는 세포주기 G1기에서 S기로의 진입에 중요한 역할을 하는 cyclin D1, E, A, cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 4 및 Cdk6발현의 저해와 p21 및 p27과 같은 Cdk inhibitor의 발현 증가와 연관성이 있었다. Sodium butyrate는 또한 retinoblastoma protein (pRB)및 p130 단백질의 인산화를 저해시켰으나, S기 진행에 중요한 전사조절인자인 E2F-1 및 E2F-4의 의 발현에는 큰 영향이 없었다. 그러나 sodium butyrate에 의한 pRB 및 p130단백질의 인산화 저해는 pRB와 E2F-1및 p130과 E2F-4와의 결합력을 증사시켰다. 본 연구의 결과는 U937세포의 증식억제에 pRB/p130 인산화 억제 및 Cdk inhibitors의 발현 증가가 중요한 역할을 하고있음을 보여주는 것으로, sodium butyrate의 항암기전 이해에 중요한 자료가 될 것이다.
