Outline of Final Research Achievements

We reported that GSKJ4 induces cell death in ovarian cancer stem cells and causes cancer stem cell properties to be lost.Subsequent studies with collaborators have found that GSKJ4 induces cell death in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. This suggested that the effect of GSKJ4 is not specific to cancer stem cells but also to cancer cells.Furthermore, it was found that by combining GSKJ4 and cisplatin, taxol, metformin, the effect on cancer cells is added.In addition, as a mechanism of action of GSKJ4, it was shown that cell cycle was induced by influencing the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis.
