| 概要 | Background: The vacuolar-type proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) plays important roles in cell growth and tumour progression. V-ATPase is composed of two distinct structures, a hydrophilic catalytic cytosolic sector (V1) and a hydrophobic transmembrane sector (V0). The V1 sector is composed of 5-8 different subunits with the structure The over-expression of 16-kDa proteolipid subunit of V-ATPase in the perinuclear region of the human adventitial fibroblasts promotes phenotypic modulation that contributes to neointimal formation and medial thickening. A relationship between oncogenicity and the expression of the 16-kDa proteolipid has also been suggested in human pancreatic carcinoma tissue. Results: We found that the mRNA levels of the 16-kDa proteolipid but not of the 70-kDa subunit of V-ATPase in human myofibroblasts were more abundant in serum-containing medium (MF(+) cells) than serum-free medium (MF(-) cells). In HeLa cells, the levels of mRNA and protein of the 16-kDa, 21-kDa or 70-kDa were clearly suppressed when the corresponding anti-sense oligonucleotides were administered to the culture medium. The growth rate and viability (mostly due to necrosis) of HeLa cells were reduced markedly by the 16-kDa and 21-kDa anti-sense, but little by the 70-kDa anti-sense, and not at all by any sense oligonucleotides. The localization of 16-kDa/21-kDa proteolipid subunits was different from that of the 70-kDa subunit in HeLa cells. Conclusion: These results suggest that the 16-kDa and 21-kDa proteolipid subunits of the V0 sector play crucial roles in growth and death of cultured human cells. Our results may provide new insights into the mechanism and therapeutic implications for vessel wall hyperplasia and tumorigenesis. |
