Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, EMT transcription factor ZEB1 and binding tissue growth factor CTGF are involved in anticancer drug resistance and metastatic infiltration as targets for the treatment of refractory recurrent ovarian cancer, and have been investigated as new therapeutic targets for refractory ovarian cancer in the future. ZEB1 and CTGF play a central role in both chemotherapy resistance and metastatic capacity of epithelial ovarian cancer, and high expression of each of ZEB1 and CTGF has poor clinical outcomes in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. It has been shown to be a valuable predictor. The mutual involvement of TGF-β and ZEB1 / CTGF was clarified, and its importance as a therapeutic target for ovarian cancer was further verified.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

卵巣癌治療において、抗癌剤耐性の獲得は予後に影響する重大な因子であり、本研究では難治性再発卵巣癌治療の標的として、ZEB1やCTGFの関与についてすでに論文で報告済みである。
