Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plakin Family consists of cytoskeletal proteins such as plectin , desmoplakin and so on. In this project, we investigated expression of plectin and desmoplakin in human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and their fuctions. Immunohistochemistry revealed that these proteins were expressed by cancer cells as well as fibroblasts. In addition, integrin alpha6 and beta4, binding proteins of plectin, and desmocollin desmoglein, binding proteins of desmoplakin, were also expressed by cancer cells. Gene depletion experiments with SiRNA for these proteins revealed that they did not regulate ICC celllines function, such as proliferaion ability, migration ability and ability for activating fibroblas.
