Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the sunitinib resistance model (SR-ACHN) compared to the human RCC cell line ACHN, the expression of all three splice variants of lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), LMP-2A, 2B and 2C, was found to be elevated. However, cytotoxicity studies in forced-expression strains confirmed that forced-expression strains of LAMP-2A and 2B were significantly more resistant to sunitinib compared to ACHN. Taken together, these results indicate that LAMP-2A and LAMP-2B are involved in sunitinib resistance in RCC.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年、進行性腎癌の薬物療法においてスニチニブが使用される機会は減少したが、その他のチロシンキナーゼ阻害薬は1次併用療法の一剤として使用頻度が高い。本研究の成果は、そのようなチロシンキナーゼ阻害薬に対する薬剤耐性メカニズムの解明の一助となる可能性がある。
