| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to investigate the signaling mechanism of NADPH oxidases (Noxs)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) that mediates cancer development. Our study revealed that Nox5alpha-generated H2O2 transmits signals to protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B through oxidation.Nox5alpha also promotes reprogramming of aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-transformed T-cells, thereby contributing to their growth. Similar results were obtained with Nox4, in which Nox4, coupled to oncogenic K-Ras, induced elevated aerobic glycolysis in pancreatic cancer cells, giving a growth advantage to the cells. Thus, these results support the notion that Nox-derived ROS play an important role in carcinogenesis and further strengthen the possibility of Nox5alpha and Nox4 as molecular targets in cancer treatment.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
正常細胞ではNADPH oxidase酵素(Nox5alpha,Nox4)から産生される活性酸素はシグナル分子として機能している。本研究で、Nox5alphaの活性酸素はリン酸化調節蛋白にシグナルを送ることを見出した。また、これらの活性酸素がHTLV-1感染白血病やすい臓がん細胞で過剰に産生されると情報伝達を攪乱し、グルコースやグルタミン代謝の代謝調節を亢進してがん細胞の異常増殖に寄与することを明らかにした。この発見には、がん化の情報伝達の調節機構のさらなる解明と、この酵素を分子標的とした新たながん治療薬の開発につながるという意義がある。
