We investigated the role of oxidative stress and heme oxygense-1 by FK506 on human Jurkat T cells. Methods: The cells viability was examined by DAPI stain, enzyme activity of caspase family proteins, and western blotting for Baks, PUMA, inos, HO-1. Cells were cultured in the absence or presence of CoPPIX or ZnPPIX and the fluorescence intensity was analyzed using a flow cytometry. Results: Treatment with FK506 increased the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, and NO in Jurkat cells in a dose-dependent manner. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis data revealed the hemoxygenase-1 (HO-1) was induced by the addition of FK506 in Jurkat cells. Induction of CoPP, HO-1 inducer, resulted in decreased intracellular H 2 O 2 and NO concentrations. Instead ZnPP, an HO-1 competitive inhibitor did it reversely. In addition, ZnPP regulates inos protein synthesis by inhibition of HO-1. Conclusion: Increase of HO-1 expression would induce to decrease the intracellular H 2 O 2 and NO concentrations. Also, HO-1 would regulate inos protein synthesis. Consequently, we can expect the regulation of HO-1 expression with concomitants use of FK506 to suppress organ rejection phenomenon by enhancing apoptosis.

Jurkat 세포에 FK506 (10μM) 을 72시간처리한후 DAPI 염색을시행한결과, 정상대조군의핵은타원형의온전한형태의균질한형광염색을나타냈으나, FK506 72시간처리군의핵은여러조각으로분절된형광절편이증가되어관찰되었다 (Fig. 1B). 2) FK506에의한 Jurkat 세포사멸에서세포내활성산소 H 2 O 2 의생성에미치는영향 FK506에의한세포내활성산소인 H 2O 2 생성변화를관찰하기위하여 DCF-DA로염색하고 flow cytometry로분석하였다. DCF-DA는세포내 H 2O 2 와반응시형광을띠는 DCF 로전환된다. 그결과, FK506 농도의존적인증가를보였다 (Fig. 2). 이상의결과는 FK506에의한세포내활성산소인 H 2O 2 생성이세포사멸을유도할가능성을시사하였다. 3) FK506이 Jurkat 세포사멸에서 NO의생성및 inos 단백질의발현에미치는영향 FK506에의한세포내활성산소종의생성변화를확인하 기위하여 DAF-DA 염색을통해세포내 NO의생성변화를 flow cytometry로분석하였다. 그결과 FK506 처리농도에의존적으로 NO의양이증가하였다 (Fig. 3A). 또한, 세포내 NO 합성효소인 NOS의발현변화를 Western blot 방법으로조사한결과 inos 단백질의발현이 FK506 처리 12시간부터증가하여 24시간에최대의발현량을보였으며 48시간이후부터점차감소하는양상을보였다 (Fig. 3B). 따라서 FK506 처리에의한 Jurkat 세포의세포사멸은 inos 단백질의발현증가에따른 NO의생성증가에의해초래됨을시사하였다. 4) FK506에의한 Jurkat 세포사멸에서미토콘드리아막전위변화와 PUMA 단백질발현에미치는영향 FK506에의한 Jurkat 세포의미토콘드리아의막전위차변화를확인하기위하여 JC-1 형광염색을시행하였다. 10 μm의 FK506을 Jurkat 세포주에 36시간처리후 JC-1으로염색하여형광현미경으로관찰하였다. 그결과 Jurkat 세포는 FK506을처리하지않은대조군점상형 (punctuated-pat- Fig. 2.

Change of mitochondrial membrane potential transition and differential expression of Bak and PUMA in FK506 treated Jurkat cells. (A) Cells were treated with 10μM FK506 for 36 hr. FK506 treated cells were stained with 10μg/ml of JC-1 visualized under a fluorescent microscope. (a) Control cells, and (b) FK506 treated cells for 36 hrs. (B) Cells were treated with 10μM FK506 for various periods. The equal amounts of protein from cell lysate were subjected on 15% SDS-PAGE, transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane and immunoblotted with PUMA, anti-bak and anti-β-actin antibodies. 처리시 FK506에의해생성증가된 H 2O 2 의양은감소하지않았으며특히 ZnPP 단독처리군에서증가된양상을보였다 (Fig. 5A, B). 이때 CoPP 처리에의하여 Jurkat 세포의 HO-1 단백질의발현은증가되었으며, ZnPP 처리시 HO-1의발현은감소되는양상을보였다 (Fig. 5C). 이상의결과는 HO-1의 inducer 및 inhibitor 처리를통해 HO-1의발현에따른세포내 H 2O 2 생성의연관관계를확인하였다. 6) FK506이 Jurkat 세포사멸에서 CoPP 및 ZnPP가 NO 의생성및 inos 단백질의발현에미치는영향 FK506에의한세포내 NO 생성에대한 HO-1의역할을조사하기위하여 HO-1 유도제인 CoPP와 HO-1 효소활성저해제인 ZnPP를각각 30분전처리한후 10μM FK506을처리 48시간후에 NO의생성변화및 inos 단백질의발현을조사하였다. 먼저세포내 NO의생성변화는 DAF-DA 염색을통해 flow cytometry로분석하였다. 그결과 10μM 농도의 FK506 처리 48시간후에대조군에비하여증가하였던 NO의양이 CoPP 전처리에의해현저히감소하였으며, 이때 CoPP 자체영향은없었다. 그러나 ZnPP 전처리시 FK506 에의해생성증가된 NO의양은증가하는양상을보였으며특히 ZnPP 단독처리군에서현저히증가하였다 (Fig. 6A, B). 이때 CoPP 처리에의하여 Jurkat 세포의 inos 단백질의발현은 FK506 단독처리군에비하여감소되었으며, ZnPP 처리시 inos의발현은뚜렷한증가를보였다 (Fig. 6C). 이상의결과는 HO-1의 inducer 및 inhibitor 처리를통해 HO-1의발현에따라세포내 NO 생성및 inos의발현의조절의연관관계를확인하였다. 고찰 FK506은실험적장기이식술에서강력한면역억제제로작용하며독성이훨씬적고스테로이드사용을줄인다. 특히 1980년대부터임상에사용된사이클로스포린 A (cyclosporine A) 는각종장기이식의성공률을향상시켜이식분야발전에지대한공헌을한것으로평가받고있는데, 1990 년대에새로개발된강력한면역억제제인 FK506는급성거부반응의예방뿐만아니라난치성거부반응의구조요법으로효과적이며, 각종장기이식에사용되어사이클로스포린 A을대신할수있는우수한면역억제제로보고되었다.(7) 그러나, 사이클로스포린 A에비교하여 FK506에의한 T 림프구의증식억제및세포사멸에대한신호전달과정및그작용기전에대한연구가미흡한실정이다. 따라서본연구에서는 FK506에의한사람 T 림프구 Jurkat 세포사멸에서활성산소에의한스트레스와관련된신호전달기전을조사하였다. 그결과 FK506은농도의존적으로 Jurkat 세포의생존율의감소를초래하였으며, 세포사멸의형태학적특징인핵의분절현상과 caspase-3 protease의활성을유도하였다. FK506은세포내활성산소종인 H 2O 2 와 NO의생성을증가시켰으며, 이는세포내산화질소합성효소인 inos의발현증가에기인하였다. 또한 FK506은사람 T 림프구세포에서 Bak 단백질의발현증가, PUMA 단백질의감소등미토콘드리아기능이상을통한세포사멸의신호전달기전을활성화시켰다. 활성산소종 (reactive oxygen species, ROS) 은활성화된호중구, xanthine oxidase, 미토콘드리아호흡및아라키돈산

Vol. 77, No. 5 대사과정을통해서생성된다.(8) 비록 superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase 효소등이세포내에서생성된활성산소종을제거하기위한생리적방어기전으로작용하지만, 과도한활성산소종은이들방어체계를초과하여세포손상을초래한다.(9) FK506 처리시세포내유의한 H 2O 2 생성증가가관찰되었다. 이러한세포내활성산소는미토콘드리아기능이상에의해초래되거나, 반대로미토콘드리아기능이상을초래한다고알려져있다.(9) 본연구결과에서는 FK506에의한미토콘드리아의막전위차변화를 JC-1 형광염색으로확인하였으며, Bak 단백질의발현증가와 PUMA 단백질의발현감소를통해다시한번확인하였다. Heme Oxygenase는 1968년 Tenhunen 등 (10) 에의해처음발견되었으며지금까지 HO-1, HO-2, HO-3 세가지종류의아형이알려져있다. 이중 HO-1은세포가다양한종류의산화적스트레스에노출되면유도되어헴을빌리베르딘일산화탄소유리철로분해하는효소이다. Stocker 등 (11) 은과거에는단순한생물학적대사과정의노폐물로만여겼던빌리루빈과빌리베르딘이강력한항산화작용이있다는것을규명하였고 Verma 등 (12) 도헴분해후생성되는일산화탄소가혈관확장이나신경전달등의생리적기능을중재하는역할에관여함을보고함으로써 HO-1의헴분해가불필요한헴을제거하는과정일뿐아니라빌리루빈이나일산화탄소등생체에이로운기능을할수있는물질을새로생성해내는동화과정임을밝혔다. 저산소증산화질소등다양한물질에의해유도될수있는데 Applegate 등은활성산소종 (reactive oxygen species, ROS) 에대한반응, 즉세포내환원제의양이감소하거나혹은활성산소종이증가하는상태에서는원인에상관없이공통적인과정으로서이유도될수있고이러한결과를근거로 HO-1이세포를보호하는역할을수행할가능성이있다고언급하였다. 최근에는 Tanaka 등 (13) 이실험적종양모델에서 HO 억제제인 Zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP IX) 을투여시광범위한세포사멸이초래됨을보고하였다. 본연구에서도 FK506 처리시세포내 H 2O 2 와 NO의양이증가하였으며, HO-1의발현은 FK처리초기에증가하다가감소하는양상을보였다. 그러나 CoPP 처리에의해 HO-1의발현이증가하면세포내활성산소가감소하였으며, ZnPP을처리시세포내 H 2O 2 및 NO의양이증가하여세포사멸을촉진하는결과를보였다. 과량의산화질소생성은패혈성쇼크, 자가면역질환, 뇌경색과당뇨병같은질환들과연관되어있으며, 이들질환 에서는산화질소매개세포사멸이자주관찰된다.(14) 산화질소는단백질과핵산반응을포함한몇가지세포독성을가지며, DNA 손상을유도하고 p53 유도와 poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 의활성화를통하여세포사멸을유발한다.(15) 산화질소는 inos로부터생성된다. inos는주로심각한감염을포함한염증질환에서유도된다.(16) enos에의해생성된작은양의산화질소는동맥경화증, 허혈성질환, 고혈압을방지한다. 그러나 inos에의해생산되는과량의산화질소는동맥경화증, 허혈 / 재관류, 심부전을포함한다양한혈관질환의병리기전에도관련이있으며,(16,17) ER stress 경로는심혈관질환의발병과관련이있다.(18) 이러한질환병변에있는염증세포와내피세포에서 inos가유도되는것이확인되었다. Zhou 등 (19) 은 CHOP 발현을포함한 ER stress 경로가동맥경화증에서혈관벽을침범하는대식세포에서활성화되어있음을보고하였다. 본연구에서는 FK506 처리시 inos 단백질의발현이처리 12 시간후부터시간의존적으로증가하였으며, 세포내 NO의생성도증가하였다. 그러나 HO-1의발현증가시 NO 생성이감소하였으며, HO-1의활성억제시 inos의발현증가에따른 NO의생성이증가되는것을확인하였다. 이상의결과를종합하면, FK506은사람 T 림프구인 Jurkat 세포에세포사멸을유도하였고, 또한 inos의발현증가를유도하여 NO의생성을증가시켰고, Bak 단백질의발현증가에따른미토콘드리아의기능이상과세포내활성산소인 H 2O 2 의생성증가를초래하였다. 따라서, HO-1의발현조절에대한추가적인분자생물학적연구가요구되며면역억제제의작용기전에대한임상적용의과학적기반을제공할수있으리라사료되며, HO-1의조절을통해 FK506 와병용처리시세포사멸항진효과에따른용량조절과거부반응억제효과가기대된다.
