Outline of Final Research Achievements

Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is caused by the infection with Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1). The patients with ATL show a poor prognosis. Effective treatment of ATL has not been established yet. In this project, we attempted to identify the miRNAs selectively affecting the viability of ATL cells. First, we employed a bioinformatics analysis to predict the miRNA which dominantly target the genes required for the survival of HTLV-I-transformed cells. The results of the computational prediction were verified in HTLV-1-transformed cells and HTLV-1-negative human T cell lines. Overexpression of miRNAs reduces the viability of HTLV-1-transformed cells but not HTLV-1-negative cells. These results suggest that certain miRNAs might be a novel therapeutic agent against ATL.
