Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The pathogenic mechanisms has been still unknown in cancer-associated dermatomyositis (CADM). We investigated whether malignant tissues in CADM have the aberrant expression of TIF1-γ, which is a serological marker of CADM, and also investigated the possibility of interaction between TIF1-γ, and TGFβand other associated molecules. We showed the high expression of TIF1-γ in malignant tissues in patients with anti-TIF1-γ and suggested the possibility of tumor growth by the phosphorylation of STAT3 through IL-6.
