Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC)是最惡性的甲狀腺惡性腫瘤,不僅大多數病患在診斷過後存活時間僅有3到5個月,在現今多種對惡性腫瘤的治療方式下,諸如:手術切除、化學藥物治療或是放射療法等仍然無法明顯改善患者的存活率。現今,諸多的研究發現ATC的一大特點為其細胞內Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)大量表現,且顯示EGFR的表現量和ATC的惡性度呈現正相關。因此抑制EGFR的活化則可能成為新的治療ATC的方式之一。HMG-CoA 還原酶抑制劑(又稱為statins)是個現今臨床的常見用藥,多用於降低膽固醇,治療高血脂、動脈粥狀硬化等疾病,被研究發現有抑制EGFR 形成二聚體(dimerization)以及下游訊息傳遞路徑的作用,同時近年開始有文獻指出statin有降低癌症細胞增殖或是促進細胞凋亡的作用,然而在細胞遷移的作用方面卻仍不明確。因此我們提出假設認為HMG-CoA還原酶抑制劑(simvastatin、atorvastatin、pravastatin)在ATC中也有抑制癌細胞轉移的作用,並且以細胞遷移的角度來作探討。我們培養ATC的細胞株(SW1736、8305C)來進行實驗,透過傷口癒合(Wound healing)細胞遷移實驗與Transwell 細胞遷移實驗證明在基礎EGFR表現量、細胞分裂倍增時間(doubling time)不同的兩種細胞株隨著EGF的給予都能促進細胞遷移的發生。因此後續實驗以投予EGF的方式,建立此為ATC細胞遷移實驗模式,進一步探討HMG-CoA還原酶抑制劑(simvastatin、atorvastatin、pravastatin)對於EGF所引起的ATC細胞遷移作用之影響。先前我們實驗室已經發現一個分泌型的蛋白(secretory proteins),為Cysteine-rich protein 61 (Cyr61),為EGF的訊息傳遞之下游蛋白。經我們實驗發現投予Cyr61蛋白會促進ATC細胞遷移的發生;反之利用Cyr61的siRNA來抑制其表現後發現會使ATC的細胞遷移作用降低。此外,已知的EGF下游蛋白FAK與Paxillin,本論文發現其磷酸化的蛋白表現量在ATC細胞內會被EGF促進,並被statin所抑制,有趣的是Cyr61也有同樣的結果。我們認為Cyr61、FAK與Paxillin都是參與調控EGF引起ATC細胞遷移作用的下游蛋白。綜合上述實驗結果顯示,Cyr61、FAK與Paxillin三者間對於ATC細胞遷移有著交互作用的影響,而HMG-CoA 還原酶抑制劑(simvastatin、atorvastatin、pravastatin)確實可以藉由抑制這三種蛋白的表現量進而去抑制ATC細胞遷移的發生。
