Outline of Final Research Achievements

We evaluated pSphK1 and SphK1 expression in 92 surgically resected tumor tissues of esophageal cancer by the immunohistochemistry. Lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion and intramural metastasis were significantly associated with high expression of pSphK1. The 5-year overall survival rate of patients with pSphK1-high expression was significantly lower than that of patients with pSphK1-low expression. SphK1 expression was not associated with lymphatic spread and prognosis in patients with esophageal cancer. We provide the first evidence of the association between high expression of pSphK1 and both lymphatic spread and patient outcomes in esophageal cancer.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

食道癌ではリンパ節転移が強力な予後因子であり、リンパ行性進展は最も重要な進展形式である。スフィンゴシン-1-リン酸(以下S1P)は細胞情報伝達物質として働く脂質メディエーターであり、S1P産生責任酵素であるスフィンゴシンキナーゼ1型が活性化されることで産生される。このS1Pシグナルは癌のリンパ行性進展に関わることが報告されているが、食道癌における役割は未解明である。本研究成果により、食道癌のリンパ行性進展にはS1Pシグナルが関与している可能性が示唆された。S1Pシグナルを阻害する薬剤が既に他の疾患で臨床応用されており、今後は同シグナルを標的とした新たな食道癌治療開発が期待される。
