Abstract

Purpose: To examine the expression of Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) in osteosarcoma and to evaluate its role in osteosarcoma invasion and proliferation. Materials and Methods: The mRNA expression of CTGF from 23 patient-derived osteosarcoma cell lines was examined, and the role of CTGF in cell invasion and proliferation was examined using siRNA transfection. Results: The over-expression of CTGF mRNA was observed in 17 cell lines (74%). CTGF-specific siRNA transfection into SaOS-2 and MG63 cell lines resulted in efficient knockdown of CTGF expression on Western blot analysis. siRNA transfected cells showed decreased migration on Matrigel invasion assay and decreased cell proliferation on WST-1 assay. Conclusion: These results indicated that the CTGF expression may play an important role in osteosarcoma progression, and may be a therapeutic target of osteosarcoma.

목적: 골육종에서 Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF)의 발현 정도를 확인하고 발암기전에서의 역할을 살펴보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 환자에서 수립한 23개의 골육종 세포주에서 CTGF의 발현 정도를 관찰하였으며, siRNA를 이용하여 CTGF의 발현을 억제한 후 세포침습과 세포 증식에서 CTGF의 역할을 분석하였다. 결과: 17명(74%)의 세포주에서 control 세포인 정상 골모세포보다 CTGF의 발현이 증가되어 있었다. CTGF의 발암기전에서의 역할을 관찰하기 위해 불멸화된 골육종 세포주 SaOS-2와 MG63에서 siRNA로 CTGF의 발현을 억제한 후 siRNA를 transfection한 세포에서 유의하게 세포침습이 억제되고 세포 증식이 억제되는 것을 관찰하였다. 결론: 골육종 세포주에서 CTGF의 발현이 높았고 세포침습, 세포 성장에 관여하는 바 CTGF가 골육종의 발암기전에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다.
