| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MicroRNAs (miRs) are involved in generation and progression of tumor through modifying expression of target genes. This study aimed to obtain basic information and proof of concept in development of new molecular-targeted therapy using miR inhibitors. To this end, cytostatic effects brought by miR-197 inhibitor, found as a target candidate, was analyzed in detail. Evaluation of cell-line selectivity of miR-197 revealed that the cytostatic effects depended on cellular-context but not on the organ of origin. Mechanistically, miR-197 inhibitor suppressed expression of several genes that are crucial for DNA damage repair. In addition, we searched and determined anti-cancer drug that show synergistic effect with miR-197 inhibitor.
