Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While oncogenesis is a process with multi-step mutations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, the molecular mechanisms why and how such mutations accumulate during the carcinogenesis steps. In this stuudy, it was revealed that non-coding repetitive RNA, which express at the early phase of carcinogenesis, binds to YB-1, a repair gene, and suppresses its function. Due to this, mutations of genomic DNA and mitochondrial DNA accumulate and the intracellualr circumstances are disturbed, which leads to carcinogenesis. Based on these results, intervention to inhibit the binding between reprtitive RNA and YB1 may be useful for the supression of carcinogenesis steps.
