Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, we found that secreted REIC/Dkk-3 protein induces differentiation from monocytes to dendritic cell-like cells. Until now, the anti-cancer effects of REIC/Dkk-3 protein have been also reported. In this study, we identified and purified a 17 kDa cysteine-rich stable product of the REIC/Dkk-3 protein (17kDa REIC/Dkk-3) which shows the protein character of limited degradation. We herein demonstrated that the C17-REIC indicates anti-cancer effects in response to intraperitoneal administration and its effects on the activation of immunocompetent cells in blood.
