Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the effect of multi-kinase inhibitor Sunitinib on MEN2A-RET thyroid medullary carcinoma cells, and Sunitinib presented remarkable inhibition of cell growth, migration and phosphorylation of down stream signaling molecules. Oral administration of Sunitinib to MoMuLV/RET-MEN2A mice exhibited significant tumor regression suggesting the promising effect of Sunitinib on MEN2A patients. LC/MS analysis on thyroid carcinoma tissue of MoMuLV/RET-MEN2A mice presented various interesting phosphotyrosine-binding proteins, and further analysis is required to elucidate the significance of these proteins in thyroid carcinogenesis.
