| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
H. Pylori infection causes chronic inflammation and correlates to the high incidence of gastric cancers. To analyze the effect of inflammation on gastric cancer formation, Helicobacter Felis was infected to the mouse stomach. Thirty weeks post infection, mouse stomachs were analyzed histopathologically. However, considerable individual variation in the degree of the inflammation was observed, showing to be difficult to reproduce the results, therefore I finished this experiments.
Previously I performed SB transposon based insertional mutagenesis screening in mice to identify colorectal cancer (CRC) genes, I then analyzed these results. From this screen, we could identify 1333 CRC genes, and 6 genes involving the tumor progression. These 6 genes include Rnf43, which is a negative regulator of Wnt and often mutated in human CRC.
