Abstract

Amino acid transporters play an important role in supplying nutrients to normal and cancer cells for cell proliferation. System L is a major transport system responsible for the N $a^{＋}$-independent, large neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), an isoform of system L amino acid transporter, is highly expressed presumably to support their continuous growth and proliferation in malignant tumors. 2-Aminobicyclo- (2,2,1) -heptane-2-carboxylic acid (BCH) is a model compound for study of amino acid transporter as a system L selective inhibitor. In the present study, we examined whether BCH induced growth inhibition in KB human oral squamous carcinoma cell line or not. The uptake of L-［$^{14}$ C］leucine by KB cells is inhibited by BCH in a concentration dependent manner with a Ι $C_{50}$ value of 75.3$\pm$6.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and a $K_{i}$ value of 98.7$\pm$ 4.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The growth of KB cells is inhibited by BCH in time dependent manner and concentration dependent manner with a Ι $C_{50}$ value of 11.1 $\pm$0.8 mM. In the DNA of KB cells treated with the various concentrations and various periods of BCH, the characteristic ladders associated with DNA fragmentation were not observed. These results suggest that BCH inhibits the growth of KB oral epidermoid carcinoma cells through the inhibition of transport of neutral amino acids into cells without DNA break down. This phenomenon will be a new rationale for anti-cancer therapy.y.

구강 편평 세포암종 KB 세포를 이용하여 아미노산 수송계 L억제제인 BCH의 세포 성장억제에 미치는 효과를 밝히기 위해, KB세포에서 uptake실험, MTT분석 및 DNA frag-mentation분석 등을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. KB 세포에서는 아미노산 수송계 L 중에서 LAT1과 그 보조인자 4F2hc를 통해 BCH및 중성 아미노산들이 수송되었다. BCH는 시간과 농도에 의존적으로 KB세포의 성장을 억제시켰다. BCH를 처리한 실험군에서 DNA fragmentation 현상은 볼 수 없었다. 본 연구의 결과로서 구강암 세포주인 구강 편평세포암종 KB 세포에서 LAT1과 그 보조인자 4F2hc를 통해 BCH및 중성 아미노산의 수송이 이루어지고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 BCH는 이 LAT1을 차단하여 중성 아미노산들의 세포 내 고갈을 유도함으로서 KB 세포 성장의 억제를 유도하는 것으로 사료된다.
