| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Successful engraftment of disseminated metastatic cancer cells will require an adaptation of cancer cells to the specific microenvironments of metastasized organs. We identified the profile of microRNAs and genes specifically expressed in the early metastatic cancer cells directly isolated from the metastatic organ of human breast cancer patient-derived xenograft mice. We then analyzed the regulatory mechanism for the expression of miR-106b-25 cluster miRNAs. We also established the in vitro culture system in which primary liver cells and human breast cancer patient-derived xenograft cells were co-cultured to facilitate analyses of the adaptation of breast cancer cells to metastasized organs.
