Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we found high expression of FOXM1, a transcription factor that activates genes related to cell cycle and proliferation and is involved in multiple oncogenic signaling pathway, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell invasion, angiogenesis, and DNA damage repair response, in soft tissue sarcomas exposed to acidic microenvironments. In addition, comprehensive analysis comparing between acidic and neutral microenvironment showed that the expression of FOXM1, PLK1, CCNB2, CDC25B, CENPF, and AURKB was markedly upregulated in acidic microenvironment. Furthermore, FOXM1 knockdown or thiostrepton treatment of liposarcoma cell lines showed pronounced suppression of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in especially acidic microenvironment cells.
