Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, we identified rBC2LC-N lectin for target of pancteatic cancer therapy, and demonstrated that the lectin-toxin conjugate could provide significant therapeutic effect against human pancreatic cancer in xenograft mouse model.
Then we aimed to clarify the therapeutic efficacy of lectin drug conjugate therapy for colorectal cancer in vivo. Lectin drug conjugate, rBC2LCN-PE38, which was administered to colorectal cancer cell line derived mouse xenograft models, significantly suppressed tumor growth. Lectin drug conjugate therapy has the potential to be a novel targeted therapeutic option for colorectal cancer.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

各種分子標的抗体薬は大腸がんでも一定の効果を示しているが、腹膜播種の様な病態に対する治療方法は未だに不十分である。抗体薬の多くががん細胞表面下層の膜タンパクを標的とするが、がん細胞の最外層は進展度、転移・再発を反映した特徴的な糖鎖層で覆われている。従って、がん標的治療の候補はタンパクではなく、表面糖鎖の方が効率的なはずである。本研究は糖鎖を標的としレクチン―糖鎖の結合力に注目した研究であった。大腸癌の細胞株によるレクチンー糖鎖の親和性が明らかとなり、難治性の大腸癌腹膜播種に対する新規治療に向けての基礎データを蓄積することができた。
