Abstract

By minimizing fluorescence interference phenomena, aequorin-based luminescence technology can provide a relatively sensitive detection platform with integration of $G{\alpha}16$ protein in order to track internal calcium mobilization by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). In this type of cell-based functional assay format, it is essential to optimize the transfection process of a receptor and $G{\alpha}16$ protein. For this study, corticotropin releasing factor receptor subtype 2(CRF2) was set as a model system to generate three stable cells with CRF2 and $G{\alpha}16$ in addition to transiently transfected cells under three different conditions. Agonist (sauvagine) and antagonist (K41498) responses in those cells were analyzed to develop the optimum transfection process. As a result, the effective signal ratio in the dose response experiments of sauvagine and K41498 were at least 10-fold higher (z'=0.77) in CRF2-$G{\alpha}16$ stable cells. For the transient transfection cells, stable expression of $G{\alpha}16$ prior to the CRF2 represented a two-fold higher signal (z'=0.84) than the other cases of transient transfection. In conclusion, for the utilization of transient transfection processes to develop a cell-based GPCR functional assay system, it is suggested to introduce various target receptors after stable expression of $G{\alpha}16$ protein.

형광 간섭 현상을 최소화시켜 상대적으로 민감한 측정이 가능한 aequorin기반 luminescence기술은 $G_{{\alpha}16}$ 단백질 도입을 통해 세포 내부의 칼슘 이동 신호를 감지하여 G 단백질 결합 수용체(G protein-coupled receptor, GPCR)의 기능 분석을 가능하게 하는 세포 기반 분석 기술로 수용체 및 G 단백질 유전자 전달의 최적화 과정이 필수적이다. 본 연구를 위해 corticotropin releasing factor receptor subtype 2(CRF2) 수용체를 모델 시스템으로 CRF2와 $G_{{\alpha}16}$ 단백질이 구축된 세 가지 안정화 세포주를 제작하였고, 이들을 이용한 서로 다른 세 가지 조건의 임시 발현 세포주에서 작용제(sauvagine)와 길항제(K41498)의 반응성을 분석하여 최적의 유전자 전달 방법을 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과 sauvagine 및 K41498의 농도에 따른 반응에서 CRF2-$G_{{\alpha}16}$ 안정화 세포주가 임시 발현 세포주보다 10배 이상의 유효신호 비율을 나타내었고(z'=0.77) 임시 발현 세포주의 경우 $G_{{\alpha}16}$의 안정화 발현 이후에 CRF2를 전달하는 경우가 다른 임시 발현 조건보다 2배 이상 높은 효율을 보였다(z'=0.84). 따라서 임시 유전자 전달 기술을 GPCR 세포 기능 분석 시스템에 활용할 경우 $G_{{\alpha}16}$ 단백질에 대한 안정화 세포주를 우선적으로 구축하고, 목표하는 다양한 수용체들을 단계적으로 발현시키는 것이 최선의 방법이라 판단된다.
