Research Abstract |
Chronotherapy for cancer has improved therapy for cancer. Dosing time of anticancer drugs is appeared to be influencing to effectiveness and toxicity of chemotherapy for cancer. But no precise mechanisms of cancer chronotherapy are elucidated, so far. To clarify the molecular basis of chronotheray for cancer, we have been trying to establish a cell model system for chronotherapy. Irinotecan is an agent for targeting topoisomerase I and inhibit its enzymatic activity. It is known that genes of irinotecan related factors, such as topoisomerase I, ABCB1 and UGTA1 are oscillated in circadian manner. We cloned promoter region of topoisomerase I, ABCB1 and UGTA1 and constructed reporters using multicolor luciferase system, established by Nakajima et al. The application of these reporters to this study will be helpful to understand the coordination of clock genes and irinotecan related factors in cancer cells and the reactions to the treatment of iriotecan.
