Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We employed the CXCL14-expressing HSC-3 cells and the CXCL14-nonexpressing YCU-H891 cells as representatives of the two groups and compared their responses to cetuximab and their CXCL14 expression under various conditions. The growth of xenografted tumours initiated by HSC-3 cells, which expressed CXCL14 in vivo and in vitro, was suppressed by the injection of cetuximab into tumour-bearing mice, however neither the expression of the chemokine nor the cetuximab-dependent suppression of xenogarfted tumour growth were observed for YCU-H891 cells. The inhibition of ERK MAP kinase signaling increased the levels of CXCL14 mRNA in HSC-3 cells, but not in YCU-H891 cells. We also found that the CXCL14 promoter region in YCU-H891 cells was hypermethylated, and that demethylation of the promoter by treatment with 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine restored CXCL14 mRNA expression and in vivo cetuximab-mediated tumour-growth suppression.
