초록

비정상적 액틴의 재구성은 암세포의 대표적 특성이다. Thymosin ${\beta}_{10}$ (TB10)과 Profilin-1 (PFN-1)은 액틴중합조절에 필수적인 단백질이다. 이전의 연구에서 본 연구진은 TB10이 F-actin의 구조를 파괴하여 난소 암 세포의 사멸을 일으킨다는 사실을 보고하였으나 그 기전에 대하여 보고 된 바는 아직까지 없다. 본 연구에서는 TB10에 의하여 PFN-1의 발현이 조절되며, PFN-1의 난소 암 저해 유전자로서의 새로운 기능을 보고하였다. 우선 난소암세포주인 SKOV3 세포에서 TB10에 의하여 발현이 조절되는 단백질들을 전기영동법과 liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) 방법을 통하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 PFN-1이 TB10에 의하여 발현이 급격히 증가되는 단백질로 동정되었으며, 이 PFN-1을 난소 암 세포주인 SKOV3에 과발현 시켰을 때 암세포의 증식과 이동을 저해하고 암세포 사멸을 유도하였다. 또한 이 결과는 PFN-1에 의하여 Erk 신호전달기전이 저해되고 부수적으로 Elk-1과 Egr-1의 발현이 저해 됨으로써 유도될 가능성을 보여준다. 결론적으로, PFN-1이 난소암세포의 성장과 이동을 저해함과 동시에 세포사멸을 일으키므로 난소 암 치료에 유용하게 이용될 가능성이 높다.

Abnormal actin remodeling is a typical characteristic of tumor cells. Thymosin ${\beta}_{10}$ (TB10) and profilin-1 (PFN-1) are actin-binding proteins and essential regulators of actin polymerization. We previously showed that TB10 induced death in ovarian cancer cells by sequestering F-actin, but the underlying mechanisms of this induction have not been explored. In this study, we identified TB10 as a novel regulator of PFN-1 and demonstrated its novel function as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer cell lines. The present study investigated protein expression profiles through polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) in SKOV3 cells, an ovarian cancer cell line, that were transiently transfected with TB10. PFN-1 was highly overexpressed in response to TB10, and overexpression of PFN-1 resulted in inhibition of cell proliferation and migration and promotion of cellular apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, transiently transfected PFN-1 appeared to deactivate the Erk signaling pathway, followed by decreased expression of Elk-1 and Egr-1 in human ovarian cancer cells. Interestingly, PFN-1 did not affect the activation of Akt. The results demonstrated that PFN-1 induced apoptotic cell death and inhibited proliferation and migration in ovarian cancer cells, suggesting that PFN-1 may be valuable in anti-cancer therapy.
