| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tumor microenvironment is clinical circumstances where endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stresses tend to accumulate. Acquired resistance to ER stresses is one of key steps during cancer progression. In this study, we found that oncogenic mutations of gene “X” render resistance to ER stresses via suppression of ER stress-induced Bim, a proapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein. Furthermore, we carried out a phenotypic screening for compounds with the ability to cancel resistance to ER stresses and fount that exportin-1 inhibitors can overcome the resistance.

小胞体ストレス抵抗性化機序の解明とそれに対する阻害剤の同定は、がん遺伝子Xの増殖シグナル阻害とは異なる作用機序に基づいたがん治療法の確立やX活性化変異がんに特徴的な病態の理解に繋がることが期待される。各種活性型がん遺伝子特有のストレス適応機構を明らかにできつつあり、今後の治療標的化研究への展開に重要な示唆を与えるデータが得られたと考えている。
