Outline of Final Research Achievements

Expression of MUC21 gene and its glycosylated gene products was examined with breast carcinoma cells and tissue specimens with a variety of subtypes. It was found that MUC21 expression was associated with poor therapeutic outcomes among triple negative breast carcinoma patients but whether any association with the expression of particular glycoform of MUC21 is still unknown. An experimental system to investigate the contribution of interaction between MUC21 and galectin 3 in modulating apoptotic pathways was successfully established.
