Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We could confirm the antitumor effect of mTOR inhibitor against malignant pleural mesothelioma cell lines in vivo and mouse subcutaneous model. We focused on a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor that inhibits both mTOR and PI3K, which is upstream of mTOR, as a measure for possible resistance development. In H2052, which is most sensitive to PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, expression of gene (F) was decreased compared with other cell lines. When gene (F) was inactivated in the wild-type cell line, enhancement of mTOR phosphorylation was confirmed. In immunostaining of surgical specimens, multivariate analysis suggested that p-mTOR could be a therapeutic target. In gene (F)-deficient mesothelioma cell line, subcutaneous tumor growth was significantly reduced by treatment with a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor compared to untreated group.
