| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, I aimed at identification of angiogenic factors derived from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EBC-1, a NSCLC cell line, was incubated in serum-free culture, in which eleven candidates were found by mass spectrometry. Among the eleven proteins, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) regulated angiogenesis induced by EBC-1 cells. However, VEGF and HDGF were not involved in angiogenesis induced by another NSCLC cell line, Lu99. By gene microarray in EBC-1 and Lu99 cells, three candidates were expressed in only Lu99 cells. Among the three genes, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) regulated angiogenesis induced by Lu99 cells. These results suggest that HDGF enhances VEGF-dependent angiogenesis and FGF-2 is a VEGF-independent angiogenic factor in human NSCLC cells.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本邦で承認されている非小細胞肺癌の抗血管新生療法は、奏効率、無増悪生存期間、全生存期間の延長が報告されているが、それでもその平均生存期間は1年半と短いことから、他の血管新生因子の関与が考えられる。これまでにも非小細胞肺癌のVEGFとは異なる血管新生因子としてHDGFやFGF-2は報告されていたが、本研究の成果はそれらの報告を裏付ける研究結果となった。HDGFやFGF-2をターゲットとした抗血管新生療法の開発が期待される。
