| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We identified mechanisms that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) have high invasion property, and they lead cancer cell invasion. CAFs secrete Asporin, which creates a novel extracellular matrix that activate invasion by gastric cancers. Phosphorylation and activation of Tks5 was required for invasion by PMC. In addition, SKAP2 is essential for macrophages to infiltrate into tumors by forming podosomes, which regulates the size and incidence of lung metastasis. Gastric cancer cells secrete Agr2 that activates CAF invasion, and is an instructive molecule for stromal fibroblasts. On the other hand, CAFs also induce cancer cell apoptosis, which produces apoptotic vesicles that activate CAFs and establish CAF-leading mode of cancer invasion. The molecules and mechanisms identified here may become useful targets for the development of drugs aimed at manipulating cancer stromal cells.
