Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The concept of metastasis-initiating cells (MICs) has been proposed. MICs originate in the primary tumors and are considered special cells to promote cancer metastasis. However, MICs have not been investigated in detail. We successfully isolated MICs from primary cancer tissues of a scirrhous gastric cancer patient, and then knocked out CD280 expression via genome editing methods. The CD280-deficient MICs showed the decreased proliferation, colony formation, and invasion activity compared with CD280 wild-type MICs. CD280 is a novel target to inhibit cancer metastasis.
