Outline of Research at the Start

研究計画の概要は、以下の如くである。
1. 骨肉腫肺転移において、腫瘍細胞の免疫編集による自然免疫回避が生じていることを、臨 床的に証明すること。
2. 骨肉腫細胞株を用いて、免疫編集メカニズムを解析し、その阻害法を開発すること。
3. 前臨床レベルで、骨肉腫肺転移に対する、免疫編集阻害と自然免疫活性化を併用した、 新規治療法を確立すること。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pulmonary metastasis is the greatest factor defining the prognosis of malignant bone and soft tissue tumors, and the prognosis of metastatic cases is poor. Tumor immunotherapy has been attempted to improve prognosis, but immunotherapy has been less effective, and it was expected that bone and soft tissue tumors have some immune evasion mechanism.In this project, we investigated the differences in immune profiles between primary tumors and pulmonary metastases in malignant soft tissue tumors. As a result, it was inferred that in leiomyosarcoma, EPCAM expression was significantly upregulated in metastases, and that it was involved in immune escape by inhibiting CD8+ T cell accumulation in the tumor. Therefore, it was suggested that inhibition of EPCAM expression and function may restore tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells and improve the prognosis of metastatic leiomyosarcoma.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

悪性骨軟部腫瘍の予後を規定する最大の因子は肺転移である。今回の研究により,悪性軟部腫瘍が原発巣から肺転移を来す際に、腫瘍の免疫プロファイルがどのように変化するかの詳細が明らかとなった。さらに、平滑筋肉腫における免疫逃避機構の一旦も解明した。同様の手法は他の悪性軟部腫瘍に関しても応用可能である。そのため本研究は、悪性軟部腫瘍の肺転移に対する腫瘍免疫療法の確立、ひいては予後の改善に重要であると考えられた。
