| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The involvement of primary tumors on the host systemic environment and resulting tumor-supportive role for host-derived stromal cells are of particular interest. Non-invasive monitoring such stromal activation may encourage technological innovation in cancer screening for high-risk patient. We obtained gene expression profiles of the hair follicles, including stem-like cells that has self-renewal capability and can differentiate to hair and skin. Colon cancer patients have significantly different expression profiles in subset of genes involved in cell-differentiation and metabolic regulation relative to healthy individuals. Qualitative evaluation of the gene expressions in hair follicle cells in larger scale patients will be required to establish effective approach for cancer screening.
