V. CONCLUSION
The present study provided novel findings that the CD56bright NK cell subset is not only a minor subpopulation among total NK cells, but serves an important
28
role in adaptive response against PCa cells. This notion lends further support that longitudinal studies regarding NK cell immunosurveillance clearly deserves additional research, which could potentially lead to novel immunotherapeutic strategies for enhancing oncological outcomes of PCa.

I. 서론
자연살해세포에 의한 세포독성은 종양세포의 억제와 제거 기전에 있어 주요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 전립선암의 발생 및 진행의 면역요인에 있어서 자연살해세포의 역할에 대해 알아보기 위해 전립선암 환자의 말초혈액에서 자연살해세포의 subset에 초점을 맞춰 자연살해세포 활성도를 분석하고, 전립선암 진단 표지자로써 이들의 가치에 대해 알아보았다.
II. 재료 및 방법
전립선암으로 확진되어 수술을 앞둔 51명의 환자들과 나이를
36
보정한 건강대조군 54명을 대상으로 자연살해세포 활성도와
자연살해세포 subset의 분포를 전향적으로 분석하였다. 자연살해세포 활성도는 말초혈액을 IL-2로 자극시킨 후 배양액의 상층액에서 검출된 IFN-γ치를 측정값으로 사용하였다. 자연살해세포 subset 분포를 분석하기 위해 말초혈액을 단일 클론 형광색소 항체로 염색 후 세포분석기를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 자연살해세포를 구성하는 CD56+CD3- 세포 중 CD16+CD56dim subset과 CD16-CD56bright subset의 세포수를 측정하여 전체 자연살해세포 수 중에서 차지하는 비율로써 분석하였다.
III. 결과
자연살해세포 활성도와 CD56bright subset 세포수는 대조군에 비해
환자군에서 유의하게 낮았다(430.9 pg/ml 대 975.2 pg/ml, 2.3% 대 3.8%;
p < 0.001). 암병기가 증가할수록 두 인자 모두 감소하는 유의한
경향이 관찰되었다 (p for trend = 0.001). CD56dim 대 CD56bright subset 비율은 환자군에서 유의하게 높았으며 (41.8 대 30.3; p < 0.001) 병기가 높을수록 증가하는 유의한 경향을 보임으로써 (p for trend = 0.001), CD56dim subset 세포수의 변화에 비해 CD56bright subset 세포수가 유의하게 상대적으로 감소했음을 확인할 수 있었다. 전립선암 진단에 있어서 자연살해세포 활성도의 예민도와 특이도는 각각 72%와 74%로 나타났다.
37 IV. 결론
CD56bright subset의 세포수 감소는 자연살해세포 활성장애에 선행하는
것으로 생각되며, 이로 인하여 전립선암 세포에 대한 세포독성장애가 발생하는 것으로 보인다. 본 관찰 결과는 전립선암의
미세종양환경에서 자연살해세포 독성장애의 기전을 제시하며, 향후 면역기반 치료의 개발에 응용될 수 있으리라 기대한다.
