Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the role of ALCAM (Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule), a novel marker of malignant glioma stem cells, in tumor immune response. Furthermore, for further research on ALCAM, we analyzed ALCAM expression and function in childhood malignant glioma medulloblastoma. As a study of CD6, which is a ligand of ALCAM, we confirmed CD6-positive T cells were present in glioblastoma intratumoral lymphocytes by immunostaining. We revealed that ALCAM expression showed a strong significant correlation to molecular subgroups in medulloblastoma. In addition, functional analysis using a medulloblastoma cell line showed that ALCAM expression was associated with cell proliferation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究により悪性グリオーマにおけるALCAMの腫瘍免疫の関与について端緒を得ることができた。未だに有効な治療法が不十分である悪性グリオーマに対して、免疫療法の可能性について更なる追求が必要である。又、小児悪性グリオーマである髄芽腫でのALCAMの発現及び機能解析の結果については新しい知見であり、本研究の成果について社会に還元をするため現在国際誌に投稿し、査読・修正中である。
