Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of drug resistance of proteasome inhibitors at the clinical level using the samples, including myeloma cells and peripheral blood serum: small RNA, collected before and after the administration of proteasome inhibitors in myeloma patients. As a result, several serum microRNAs sensitive to the proteasome inhibitor treatment were identified. In addition, several gene mutations related to the acquired resistance of the proteasome inhibitor could be identified. Finally, a common gene showing an alterated expression level after the drug resistance was not identified.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、ボルテゾミブの感受性に関わる因子(マイクロRNAおよび遺伝子変異)を、細胞株を用いた検証でなく臨床検体から直接同定しえたことは意義が大きいと考えられる。本研究成果により、患者さんの骨髄腫治療において、プロテアソーム阻害剤の感受性や耐性パターンに応じたバイオマーカー開発に寄与し、至適な治療法を確率することが可能となりうることで、難治性の骨髄腫患者の予後改善におおいに寄与できると考えている。
