| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, the number of patients who died in prostate cancer is increasing. One of the most significant difficulties of the translational research of this cancer is that it is so hard to establish cell lines. To overcome these, we newly established a cell lines by culturing the androgen-dependent LNCaP cells under the androgen depleted condition. By using these cell lines, we have successfully identified several genes critical for the androgen-independent cell growth of prostate cancer cells. These might be potent therapeutic targets for the disease.
