Outline of Final Research Achievements

We conducted basic experiments with the aim of developing effective intrapleural therapies and finding new biomarkers for mesothelioma. We made two mesothelioma mouse models with transplanted mouse cancer cell lines intrapleurally or subcutaneously. Then, using these models, we found an excellent combination therapy of an anti-cancer agent (Gemcitabine), an anti-PD-1 antibody and anti-CTLA4 antibody which eradicated the tumors. With regard to searching new biomarkers using two proteomic analysis methods, we found twenty candidate proteins. Now, we are testing their effectiveness.
