Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in head and neck show a variability in the response to chemotherapy, even when it present with similar histological tumor type, grade, and clinical stage. The purpose of present study it to identify predictive bio-marker for the sensitivity or resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic agents, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and Cisplatin Oral cancer cell lines were used in present study. MTT assay was performed to evaluate the sensitivity and/or resistance to 5-FU and Cisplatin. And RT-PCR was carried out for evaluation of the mRNA expressions of various genes associated with mutation, inflammation (COX pathway), cell cycle, senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM). The molecules which are correlated with the sensitivity to 5-FU are XPA, XPC, OGG, APEX, COX-2, PPAR, Cyclin E, Cyclin B1, CDC2, hTERT, hTR, TIMP-3, TIMP-4 and HSP47. And the molecules are correlated with the sensitivity to Cisplatin are COX-1, iNOS, eNOS, PCNA, collagen 1 and MMP-9. Taken together, when choosing the appropriate chemotherpeutic agents for patients, considering the molecules which are correlated or reversely correlated is helpful to choose the resonable agents for cancer patients.

두경부에서 발생하는 편평세포암종은 같은 조직학적 분류, 조직학적 단계 및 임상 단계에 있다하더라도 항암제 투여에 따른 감수성은 환자마다 다양하게 나타난다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 기존에 가장 많이 사용하는 항암제인 5-FU 와 Cisplatin의 감수성을 예측할 수 있는 생물학적 표지자를 찾아 환자에게 맞는 항암제를 선택하기 위해서이다. 5종의 구강 편평암세포암주를 이용하였으며, 5-FU 와 Cisplatin의 항암제 감수성을 측정하기 위해 MTT assay를 시행하였다. 각 세포 주의 전 RNA를 추출하였으며 이어서 cDNA를 합성하였다. 다양한 유전자를 1) 돌연변이 2) 염증(COX pathway) 3) 세포주기 4) 노화 5) 세포외기질 과 관련되게 분류하였고 RT-PCR을 시행하여 유전자의 발현량을 살펴보았다. 결과물은 Scion image 프로그램을 통해 분석하였고, Sigma plot을 이용해 표시하였다. 5-FU의 감수성과 비례하는 유전자들은 XPA, XPC, OGG, APEX, COX-2, PPAR, Cyclin E, Cyclin B1, CDC2, hTERT, hTR, TIMP-3, TIMP-4 및 HSP47이었으며, Cisplatin의 감수성과 비례하는 유전자들은 COX-1, iNOS, eNOS, PCNA, Col-1 및 MMP-9 으로 알 수 있었다. 위 결과는 암환자에게 알맞은 항암제를 선택 시 항암제의 감수성과 관련한 유전자들의 발현 정도를 파악한다면 올바른 항암제를 선택하는데 도움이 되리라 사료된다.
