| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the aid of this grant, Twist-1 is also detected in carbon nanotubes (CNT)-induced SM. The expression of Twist-1 was not significantly affected the life span in asbestos and CNT-induced rat MM. The expression of MDM2, which is induced by Twist-1 and works to degradate p53, and Ki67, which is a marker for cellular proliferation, were associated with Twist-1 expression. These results suggest that Twist-1 has potent proliferative effect on MM in vivo. The examination for the expression of transcriptional factors, which are reported to be a candidate for the induction of Twist-1, disclosed the relation between Twist-1 and HIF1alpha expression in CNT-induced rat MM.
