Outline of Final Research Achievements

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a very aggressive tumor. The underlying key genetic mutations in MM cells mainly occur in several distinct tumor suppressor genes, which include the NF2 and BAP1 genes. In this project, we found that the inactivation of NF2 activates TAZ transcriptional coactivator, which results in expression of interleukin 1B. We also demonstrated that the suppression of IL1B inhibits MM cell proliferation. Meanwhile, we found that synthetic lethal phenotype is inducible in BAP1-mutated MM cells by targeting the other specific genes. These findings strongly suggested that different molecular approaches may be applied to develop new therapeutic modalities against MM.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

悪性中皮腫はがん遺伝子のドライバー変異が極めて稀であり、キナーゼ阻害剤などの分子標的剤はほとんど奏功しない。がん抑制遺伝子の変異が主体である悪性中皮腫に対しては、全く別の治療戦略の構築が必要と考えられる。今回、NF2-ヒッポシグナル伝達系が不活性化することにより活性化されるシグナル伝達系(インターロイキン1B)を標的とするアプローチ、さらにBAP1遺伝子変異に対して合成致死の表現型を誘導する遺伝子を標的するアプローチを見出すことができ、両者とも極めて有望な治療戦略であることが明らかとなった。
