Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MET is a receptor of HGF growth factor and is activated by gene amplification and/or overexpression in various cancer to promote cell growth and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. We have demonstrated that a cell adhesion molecule, CADM1, forms a complex with MET on the raft of the cell membrane and suppresses the MET signaling. CADM1 is known to be often inactivated in various cancer cells in their advanced stages. CADM1 could provide a molecular target to suppress oncogenic signaling of cancer cells to malignant growth.
