| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tenascin-C (TNC) is highly expressed in cancer stoma which may be responsible for cancer progression. The aim of this study is to clarify TNC roles in formation of the breast cancer stroma composed of fibroblasts, including myofibroblasts and cancer-associated fibroblasts, and macrophages. In macrophages, TNC promotes the migration, cytokine expression, and induction to M1 repertory. TNC also enhances myofibroblast trans-differentiation, gel contraction activity, and TNC production in fibroblasts. Thus, TNC may significantly contribute to the stromal formation of the breast cancer.
