Outline of Research at the Start

【研究目的】
消化管がんの個別化医療の確立を目的に消化管がんの末梢循環腫瘍細胞(circulating tumor cells, CTCs)の生物学的特性を理解し、有用な病態診断法を開発する。
【研究目標】
I.胃がんCTCsを用いたゲノム解析をはじめとしたオミクス解析技術を創出し、免疫チェックポイント阻害薬に対する精密医療を確立する。
II.消化管がんCTCsを用いた細胞培養技術を創出する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could be isolated from peripheral blood of a total of 11 patients with advanced gastric cancer, prior to the start of nivolumab in the third line of therapy. Next-generation sequencing was performed from the amplified DNA, and oncogenes and cancer-promoting gene mutation profiles were successfully extracted from CTCs. The gene mutation profiles of CTCs and ctDNA from surgical specimens (FFPE) and liquid biopsy specimens obtained from the same patient were different. Therefore, the combined use of both CTCs and ctDNA profiles was expected to improve gene mutation detection compared to each assay alone; the TMBs of FFPE and CTCs were not consistent, and the TMB of CTCs tended to be lower than that of FFPE.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

CTCs から消化管がんの「がんの個性診断法」を実現できれば、患者に対して最少侵襲で時々刻々変化するがん細胞に対して「適時・最適医療」を提示できるようになると考え、本研究を進めてきた。本研究の結果、進行胃がんCTCsからの遺伝子変異解析、TMB解析が可能でることを証明した。今後は本技術を用いて検討症例数を増やし、そして臨床試験への応用、CTCsの細胞培養が実現できれば、プロテオーム解析や薬剤感受性試験につながり、個々の患者に適した薬剤の提供につながる可能性があり、国内外へのインパクトが非常に高いと考える。
