| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We identified a secreted proteins, LASEP1 and LASEP3 (LASEPs) as a candidate. Immunohistochemical staining showed that high level of LASEPs expression was associated with poor prognosis for NSCLC patients. Serum LASEPs levels were higher in NSCLC patients than in healthy volunteers. Furthermore, reduction of LASEPs by siRNA suppressed lung cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. In addition, subsequent microarray analysis of these cancer cells identified several candidate downstream genes of LASEPs that relate to cell growth signals.
Next generation sequencer analysis detected tumor-specific mutation in lung cancer tissue. In addition, we detected mutation in mRNA from serum exosome or free DNA from serum by digital PCR. Digital PCR analysis showed that activating EGFR mutation in serum exosome was detected 4 cases out of 10.
