| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A library of 81 000 shRNAs targeting 15 000 human genes was stably transfected to ovarian cancer cell lines. By functional screening of these cancer cells, we screened genes that are responsible for anoikis resistance when down-regulated. One of the screened genes was ABHD2, which was fuctionally related to cisplatin resistance. Furthermore, we identified genes that increase Side Population cells when down-regulated. Side Population cells are defined as cells which have ability to efflux Hoechst 33342. Down-regulation of these genes were related to cancer stemness phenotype.
