본 연구는 태령 19일된 백서 태자 두 개관에서 분리한 골모세포유사세포에 화학발암물질인 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA: 0.5 ㎍/ml) 및 tumor promotor인 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA; 1.0 ㎍/ml)를 단독 혹은 복합 처리하여 PTRCC-DMBA, RCC-DMBA 및 RCC-DMBA-TPA 세포주를 확립시키고, 각 세포의 세포형태, 세포성장곡선, alkaline phosphatase와 acid phosphatase 활성 및 in vitro tumorigenicity를 연구하였다. 또한 c-myc, c-랜, c-jun, p53 및 Rb 유전자의 발현변화와 항암단백질인 p53 및 pRb 단백질의 발현변화를 관찰하여 골모세포유사세포가 악성형질전환되는 분자기전의 일단을 연구하고자 시행하였다. 본 실험에 사용한 모든 세포군에서 높은 aikaline phosphatase 활성과 낮은 acid phosphatase/alkaline phosphatase ratio를 보여 골모세포의 특성을 나타내었다. RCC-DMBA와 RCC-DMBA-TPA 세포는 정상세포나 PTRCC-DMBA에 비해 빠른 성장속도를 보였으며, 또한 SOFT AGAR상에서 colony를 형성하여 anchorage-independent growth를 나타내었다. 화학발암 물질로 악성변형된 세포들은 정상세포나 PTRCC-DMBA 세포에 비해 c-myc 유전자의 과발현이 관찰되었다. 정상세포에서 p53 유전자의 발현은 1.9 kb의 message만이 발현되었다. 그러나 화학발암물질로 형질전환된 세포에서는 1.9 kb message외에도 1.6 kb의 message가 더 발현되었으며, message의 양도 현저히 증가되었다. p53 단백질의 발현은 RCC-DMBA-TPA 세포에서 정상세포에 비해 현저히 감소하였으나, RCC-DMBA 세포에서는 유사한 경향을 보였다. Rb 유전자의 발현은 RCC-DMBA-TPA 세포에서만 현저히 감소하였으나, Rb 단백질의 발현은 정상세포에 비해 형질전환된 세포들에서 모두 현저히 감소되었고, 특히 RCC-DMBA-TPA 세포에서는 거의 발현되지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 백서 태자 두 개관에서 분리한 골모세포유사세포는 화학발암물질인 DMBA에 의해 악성형질전환이 유도되었으며, c-myc의 과발현 및 p53과 Rb 단백질의 발현감소가 정상 골모세포유사세포의 악성변형과정에 밀접히 연관되어 있음을 시사한다.

The cytoskeleton has been shown to form a network, connecting the extracelluar matrix via integrin with the nucleus and the cytoplasmic constituents of the cell. It is therefore assumed that the cytoskeleton may mediate signals generated by perturbations originating in the matrix. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of cytoskeletal change on osteoblastic cell activities. The author cultured osteoblastic cells obtained from neonatal mouse calvaria. The cells were teated with cytochalasin B(CB) or colchicine (COL) at four concentrations for 3 hours and after another 24 hours the conditioned media was collected and assayed for prostaglandin $E_2\;(PGE_2)$, interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$) and matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1). In addition, the cytoskeletal protein actin were observed by immuno-fluorescence. The results were as follows: 1. The production of $PGE_2$ showed the tendency to be increased in CB-treated group. $PGE_2$ was increased in COL-treated group dose-dependantly, 2. IL-6 production, in CB-treated group, was increased, except at 1.0 ${\mu}g/ml$. IL-6 was induced in COL-treated group. 3. TNF-$\alpha$ production was increased in CB-treated group, except at 1.0 ${\mu}g/ml$, and in COL-treated group, that was increased. 4. The MMP-1 production was decreased in CB-treated soup and was not changed in COL-treated group, which could be selectively visualized by immunoblotting with monospecific antibody. 5. The cytoskeletal actin stress fibers were disappeared and the cells showed to be rounded in CB-treated group. These results indicated that there are a relationship between the cytoskeletal rearrangements and osteoblastic cell activities, especially in release of paracrine/autocrine factors, such as $PGE_2$, IL-6, and TNF-$\alpha$.
