| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand the roles of chondroitin sulfate and Receptor for Advanced Glycation-End product (RAGE) in tumor metastasis, RAGE-knockout mice were utilized for the analysis. We revealed that RAGE and chondroitin sulfate are involved in tumor metastasis and neuritogenesis based on the analyses of RAGE-knockout mice. We developed the production of recombinant RAGE using Pichia pastoris. Furthermore, we have identified a patient with short stature and bone dysplasia caused by mutation in the genes encoding chondroitin sulfate-biosynthetic glycosyltransferase.
