Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a new biological fluorescence observation system in combination with a fluorescence zoom microscopy and a confocal laser microscopy. Using the mew microscopy system, cancer cells and blood vessels could be visualized in real-time from whole tumor tissues of mouse to single cell levels. I addition, we developed several cell lines that can be visualized cell cycle progression and TGF-beta signaling. Finally, cell cycle and TGF-beta signaling of cancer cells as well as protease activity of tumor microenvironment including Cathepsins and MMPs were visualized and evaluated in vivo.
