Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Clonality analysis of canine cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) lesions showed that heterogeneous clonality occurred outside the skin, indicating that tumor cells may be migrating systemically. Transplantation of EO-1 with knockout of the CCR4 or CCR7 genes into mice resulted in suppression of skin nodules and systemic metastasis . Furthermore, CCL17, CCL19, CCL21 or CCL22 promoted EO-1 proliferation, and knockout of CCR4 or CCR7 abolished these promoting effects. These results indicate that CCR4 and CCR7 promote not only tumor cell migration but also proliferation and are useful as therapeutic target molecules for canine CTCL.
