| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To uncover the mechanism by which human prostate cancer progresses, we have previously performed a genetic screen for regulators of human prostate cancer progression using the Drosophila accessory gland. We found that CNPY2 and MEP1A markedly promoted cell growth and cell invasion of prostate cancer (PC) cells.
In this study, we suggested that CNPY2 controls AR protein levels in PC cells. Signaling by the androgen-induced AR has been known to be promote cell growth of PC cells. Our results suggested that CNPY2 promoted cell growth of PC cells by inhibition of AR protein degradation through MYLIP-mediated AR ubiquitination. In addition, we showed that CNPY2 interacted with several heat shock proteins. This result suggests that CNPY2 may control protein folding in cancer cells.
MEP1A, a metalloprotease is reported to be activated after propeptide cleaverage. In this study, we showed that active-type of MEP1A may be increased by androgen signal in PC cells.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
前立腺癌治療における課題は、ホルモン抵抗性癌に対する効果的治療法の開発である。ARの異常発現はホルモン抵抗性癌の細胞増殖の一因であると推測されており、ARのタンパク量制御メカニズムを明らかにした本研究成果は前立腺癌の進展メカニズムを理解する上での重要な知見と位置づけられ、今後の臨床分野への応用が期待される。
今後、CNPY2を介したタンパク質の量的・質的管理システム、およびホルモン抵抗性癌におけるMEP1A活性メカニズムに関して新たな知見を得ることで、ホルモン抵抗性前立腺癌に対する治療法の開発に繋がる分子メカニズムを明らかにできると考えられる
