1 전립선암에서조직내 와 βii 발현의임상적의의 Clinical Significance of the Expression of and βii in Prostate Cancer Tae Heung Kim, Tae Hyung Kim, Shin Young Lee, Young Sun Kim, Mi Kyung Kim 1, Soon Chul Myung From the Departments of Urology and 1 Pathology, College of Medicine, Chung- Ang University, Seoul, Korea Purpose: This study examined the significance of tubulin α and βⅡ expression in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: A total 103 cases diagnosed with either BPH or prostate cancer were divided into 4 groups: BPH (n=25), localized prostate cancer (n=41), locally advanced prostate cancer (n=18), metastatic prostate cancer (n=18). The tissues were taken through a transurethral resection of the prostate, suprapubic prostatectomy, prostatic needle biopsy or radical retropubic prostatectomy. The expression was measured by immunohistochemical staining. The degree of expression was graded on a 4-point scale. The data was compared in terms of stage, the serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA) level and Gleason score. The statistical comparisons were made using one-way ANOVA test and a Fisher's exact test. Results: The levels of tubulin α and βii expression were stronger in the patients with prostate cancer than those with BPH (p<0.001). On the other hand, there was no difference between metastatic prostate cancer and localized prostate cancer (p>0.05). The level of tubulin α expression was stronger in the patients with a Gleason score 8 than in those of Gleason score 7(p<0.05), but there was no such difference in tubulin βii expression. The level of tubulin α and βii expression was stronger in the patients with a serum PSA level 4ng/ml than in those with the serum PSA level <4ng/ml (p<0.001). Conclusions: The expression of tubulin α and βii may be associated with the development of prostate cancer. These might be used as useful markers for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response.

Ranganathan 등 17 은전립선비대증에비해서전립선암에서 tubulin βii가더많이발현된다고보고하였다. 정상세포의세포질에만존재하는 tubulin βii는전립선암세포의핵내에서관찰된다. 정상세포의핵에서 tubulin βii가관찰되지않는점은핵내 tubulin βii가암과관련있을것으로생각된다. 17 최근 hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) 에 taxol 계열의제제사용이효과가있다고보고되고있다. Taxol은다른 tubulin β 아형보다 tubulin βii에더특이적으로작용하는것으로알려져있다. 20 Taxol은두가지효과를나타내는데세포고사뿐만아니라 tubulin βii를재배열시키고더높은농도에서는 tubulin βii를고갈시킨다. 19 Tubulin βii의발현이이러한항미세관제제에대한저항성을나타낸다는보고가있다. 21,22 따라서전립선암환자에서 tubulin βii의발현정도에따라항암화학요법에대한반응예측및치료효과판정에이용할수있을것으로생각한다. 본연구에서는전립선암으로새롭게진단된환자에서만 tubulin βii의발현도를조사한한계가있다. 따라서항암화학요법등치료전후발현도에대한조사가필요하다. 16례의전립선암에서모두핵내 tubulin βii의발현이관찰되나발현되는위치나정도는병기또는분화도사이에연관성이없다는보고가있으며, 전립선비대증에서는 19례중단 1례를제외한모든예에서핵내 tubulin βii 발현이있었다는보고가있으나핵내와세포질내의전체 tubulin βii의발현은전립선비대증보다전립선암에서높게발현된다. 23 본연구에서도마찬가지로전립선비대증보다전립선암에서통계적으로유의하게강한발현도를나타냈으나 전립선비대증에서는 25례모두에서발현되지않았다. 전립선비대증에서전혀발현되지않은점은 Yeh 등 23 의보고와는상이한결과로그이유는명확하지않다. 병기에따른비교에서국소성전립선암과전이성전립선암사이에는발현도에차이가나타나지않았다. 분화도에따른비교에서는 Gleason 점수 8 이상인군에서더강한발현도를나타냈다. 따라서병기보다는분화도에따라더강한발현도를나타낸것으로생각한다. 다만병기에따른비교의경우보다많은증례에대해실험한다면같은결과가나올것으로생각한다. 혈청 PSA에따른 tubulin α와 βii의발현도에대한이전의보고는없었으나 tubulin α와 βii 모두혈청 PSA 4ng/ml 이상인경우더강한발현도를나타냈다. 따라서 tubulin α 와 βii가전립선암의진단, 예후, 치료에대한반응의표지자가될수있을것으로생각한다. 따라서전립선암의치료후재발률, 생존율등과 tubulin α와 βii의발현정도의변화와의상관성에대한연구가필요할것으로생각한다. 결 와 βii가전립선비대증조직에비해전립선암에서더많이발현되는것은 와 βii의발현이전립선암의발생과연관이있을것으로생각한다. 또한 tubulin α와 βii가 Gleason 점수, 혈청 PSA 농도증가에따라더강한발현도를나타내고항미세관항암화학요법제제의주요표적이되고있어전립선암의진단, 예후, 치료및치료의평가에이용할수있을것으로생각한다. 론 REFERENCES 1.
