Outline of Final Research Achievements

Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive skin cancer. The effective treatment for advanced cancer patients has not been established. In recent years, the association between obesity and malignant melanoma has been focused in epidemiological studies, but it remains to be elucidated. In the study we used the collagen gel organ culture system utilized with the adipose tissue, and demonstrated that subcutaneous adipose tissue promotes the proliferation of malignant melanoma cells. In addition, the visceral fat tissue may contribute to the invasive ability and melanin production of malignant melanoma cells. According to the present study, adipose tissue was found to contribute deeply to the cell kinetics of malignant melanoma. This organ culture system could be a promising tool for the development and evaluation of new molecular targeted therapies for malignant melanoma.
