Abstract
Description
본 발명은 T 세포의 세포외 소포체 유래 miRNA를 유효성분으로 포함하는 조성물 및 이의 용도에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a composition comprising miRNA derived from extracellular endoplasmic reticulum of T cells as an active ingredient and a use thereof.
암은 비정상적인 세포의 과잉으로 인하여 발생하는 비제어적이고 무질서한 세포 증식의 산물로서, 분자생물학적인 관점에서 볼 때 유전자의 변이에 의하여 발생하는 질환이라고 할 수 있다. 암의 종류는 현재까지 밝혀진 것만 해도 수십 종에 이르며 주로 발병 조직의 위치에 따라 구분된다. 암은 양성종양과 악성종양으로 구분되는데, 양성종양은 비교적 성장 속도가 느리고 종양의 원발생 부위에서 다른 조직으로 이동되는 전이가 발생하지 않는 반면, 악성종양은 원발부를 떠나 다른 조직으로 침윤되어 빠르게 성장하는 특성을 가져 생명을 위협한다. 대부분의 암은 초기에 증상이 없으며, 증상이 있다고 하더라도 경미하여 대부분의 사람들이 이를 간과하기 쉽고, 이는 암의 사망률을 높이는 원인이 되고 있다. Cancer is a product of uncontrolled and disorderly cell proliferation caused by an excess of abnormal cells, and can be said to be a disease caused by genetic mutations from a molecular biological point of view. There are dozens of types of cancer that have been identified so far, and they are mainly classified according to the location of the onset tissue. Cancer is divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors grow relatively slowly and do not metastasize from the original tumor site to other tissues, whereas malignant tumors leave the primary site and invade other tissues rapidly. It has growing properties and is life threatening. Most cancers are asymptomatic in their early stages, and even if symptoms are mild, most people tend to overlook them, which causes an increase in cancer mortality.
암의 치료를 위해서 수술 요법, 화학 요법, 방사선 요법 등이 사용되고 있으나 많은 연구에도 불구하고 암 환자 전체의 50% 이상이 결국 치유되지 못하고 사망하는 것으로 보고된다. 그 이유는 외과적으로 절제를 하였다 하더라도 미세하게 전이된 암세포를 제거하지 못하여 암이 재발하거나, 항암제에 대한 암세포의 사멸이 유도되지 않거나 초기에는 반응을 보여 종양이 줄어드는 듯 보이지만 치료 도중이나 치료가 끝난 후 항암제에 대한 내성이 생긴 암세포들이 급격히 증가하기 때문이다. 오늘날에는 약 60여 종의 다양한 항암제가 사용되고 있으며, 암 발생 및 암세포의 특성에 관한 지식이 많이 알려짐에 따라 새로운 항암제 개발에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 항암제는 오심과 구토, 탈모, 피부 및 손톱의 변색, 신경계 부작용 등의 심각한 부작용을 일으키며, 반복적으로 장기간 투여되거나 암이 재발된 경우에는 암세포가 항암제에 대한 내성을 획득함으로써 치료 효과를 상실하는 단점이 있다. 또한, 방사선 요법은 고에너지의 방사선을 암 조직에 조사하여 암세포의 사멸을 유도하나, 암 조직 주변에 있는 정상 조직에게도 손상을 주어 부작용을 발생시키는 단점이 있다.Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. are used for the treatment of cancer, but despite many studies, it is reported that more than 50% of all cancer patients die without being cured. The reason for this is that even if surgical resection is performed, the cancer recurs due to the inability to remove finely metastasized cancer cells, or the death of cancer cells to anticancer drugs is not induced, or the tumor seems to shrink due to a response at the beginning, but during treatment or after treatment is finished. This is because cancer cells that have developed resistance to anticancer drugs rapidly increase. Today, about 60 different types of anticancer drugs are being used, and research on the development of new anticancer drugs is being actively conducted as a lot of knowledge about the occurrence of cancer and the characteristics of cancer cells is known. However, most anticancer drugs cause serious side effects such as nausea and vomiting, hair loss, discoloration of skin and nails, and side effects of the nervous system. There is a downside to In addition, radiation therapy induces the death of cancer cells by irradiating high-energy radiation to cancer tissue, but has a disadvantage of causing side effects by damaging normal tissues around the cancer tissue.
한편, 작은 세포외 소포체(Small extracellular vesicles; sEV)는 대부분의 세포에서 분비되는 막 구조의 작은 소낭이다. sEV의 직경은 대략 30-10nm로, sEV 안에는 그 세포에서 유래된 다양한 종류의 단백질, 유전물질(DNA, RNA, miRNA), 지질 등이 포함되어 있다. sEV는 원형질막(plasma membrane)으로부터 직접 떨어져 나가는 것이 아니라 다낭체(multivesicular bodies; MVBs)라고 불리는 세포 내 특정 구획에서 기원하여 세포 밖으로 방출 및 분비된다. 즉, 다낭체와 원형질막의 융합이 일어나면 소낭들은 세포 밖 환경으로 방출되는데 이것을 sEV라고 부른다. sEV가 어떤 기작에 의해 만들어지는지 정확하게 밝혀진 바가 없으나, 정상 상태 및 병적 상태 모두에서 다수의 세포 유형으로부터 분리되어 방출되는 것으로 알려져 있다.On the other hand, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are membrane-structured small vesicles secreted from most cells. The diameter of sEVs is approximately 30-10 nm, and sEVs contain various types of proteins, genetic materials (DNA, RNA, miRNA), lipids, etc. derived from the cell. sEVs are not directly released from the plasma membrane, but originate from specific intracellular compartments called multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and are released and secreted outside the cell. That is, when the fusion of the polycystic body and the plasma membrane occurs, the vesicles are released into the extracellular environment, which is called sEV. Although it has not been precisely identified by what mechanism sEVs are produced, it is known that they are separated and released from multiple cell types in both normal and diseased conditions.
세포외 소포체에서 유래되는 물질 중 하나인 마이크로 RNA(microRNA; miRNA)는 염기서열이 22개 이내의 암호화되지 않은(non-cording) RNA로서, 타켓 mRNA를 분해하거나 타켓 mRNA의 전사(translation)를 억제하여 유전자 발현을 조절한다. 이것의 유전자 발현 조절은 세포 분화와 세포 증식과 관련되어 있으며, 특히, 배아 발생 과정 중에 miRNA는 포착하기 어려운 시점에 발현하게 되는데, 이는 각 배아 발달 단계에 중요한 기능을 한다. 하지만 miRNA의 미분화를 조절하는 중요한 기능은 계속 발견되고 있음에도 불구하고, miRNA의 발현을 조절하는 정확한 메카니즘은 아직 밝혀지지 않고 있다. 최근 사람의 암세포에서 항암의 기능을 하는 miRNA의 후생성 발현 가능성이 제시되고 있으며, miRNA cluster의 후생성 조절에 대한 다양한 증거들이 보고되고 있다. 상세하게는 다양한 DNA 부위를 암호화하고 있는 항암 기능을 하는 miRNA는 사람의 유방암 세포주에서 비정상적인 과메틸레이션(hypermethylation)되어있어 유전자가 활성화되지 않고 있으며, AGS 위암 세포주에서 DNMT(DNA methylatransferase)인 5-Asa-dC(5-Asadeoxycytidine)를 처리했을 때, DNA가 demethylation되면서 특정 miRNA cluster의 발현이 복구된다는 연구결과가 제시되고 있다.MicroRNA (miRNA), one of the substances derived from extracellular endoplasmic reticulum, is a non-coding RNA with 22 base sequences or less, which degrades target mRNA or inhibits the transcription of target mRNA. to regulate gene expression. Its gene expression regulation is related to cell differentiation and cell proliferation. In particular, during embryogenesis, miRNAs are expressed at elusive times, which play an important role in each stage of embryonic development. However, although the important function of regulating miRNA differentiation continues to be discovered, the precise mechanism regulating miRNA expression remains unknown. Recently, the possibility of epigenetic expression of miRNAs with anticancer functions in human cancer cells has been suggested, and various evidences for the epigenetic regulation of miRNA clusters have been reported. In detail, the anticancer miRNA encoding various DNA regions is abnormally hypermethylated in human breast cancer cell lines, so the gene is not activated, and DNMT (DNA methylatransferase) 5-Asa in AGS gastric cancer cell lines. Studies have shown that when treated with -dC (5-Asadeoxycytidine), DNA is demethylated and the expression of a specific miRNA cluster is restored.
