Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to find out a novel metastatic biomarkers of urological cancers using liquid biopsy as a repeatable and less invasive method. Adenovirus vector with GFP and hTERT promotor could detect cancer cells mixed in human blood samples; however, it needed more than 100 cells /ml to detect them, indicating low paformance for clinical use as it was. Micro RNA analysis in exosome from supernatant of protate cancer cells reveled that miR124 might contribute to metastasis of castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

泌尿器癌においては、CTC検出の実用化にはまだ大きなハードルが存在するものの、去勢抵抗性前立腺癌では本研究で得られたexosomeに内包されたmicro RNAのプロファイルをもとに、新規バイオマーカーを開発できる可能性が示唆された。
