Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a use for diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) using SET7/9. According to the present inventors, it is confirmed that simultaneous treatment of TGF-β2 and IL-1β is a strong inducing condition for EndMT, that methyltransferase SET7/9 is an important epigenetic factor in a process of inducing EndMT, that SET7/9 inhibition inhibits the EndMT by regulating fibrogenic signaling. In addition, it is found that vascular endothelial cell dysfunction caused by the EndMT is restored by the SET7/9 inhibition, and that the EndMT is closely related to pulmonary vascular diseases. The present invention provides a biomarker composition for diagnosing diseases related to EndMT, which contains the methyltransferase SET7/9 protein or a gene encoding the same as an active ingredient.
본 발명은 SET7/9을 이용한 내피간엽이행(endothelial-mesenchymal transition; EndMT) 관련 질환 진단 및 치료 용도에 관한 것으로서, 본 발명자들은 TGF-β2와 IL-1β의 동시처리는 강력한 내피간엽이행의 유도조건이고, 메틸기전이효소 SET7/9은 내피간엽이행 유도 과정의 중요한 후성유전인자이며, SET7/9 억제는 섬유화 신호전달을 조절하여 내피간엽이행을 억제한다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, SET7/9 억제는 내피간엽이행에 의한 혈관내피세포 기능장애를 회복시켰으며, 내피간엽이행은 폐혈관질환과 밀접한 연관성이 있다는 것을 밝혀냈다. |
