Outline of Final Research Achievements

Aim) Using patient-derived cancer stem-like cell lines from resection samples of colorectal (CR) cancers (CRCs), this study is designed to discover a novel druggable target in the signaling pathway responsible for CRC pathogenesis by combining the drug effectiveness of various kinase inhibitors and the comprehensive proteogenomic analyses. Methods) Genomic mutations were identified by targetry sequencing using new-generation sequencer for 100 genes including KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, PTEN, APC and b-catenin which play critical roles in the CR carcinogenesis. Drug responses to various kinds of inhibitors including well-proven inhibitors against EGFR, VEGF, FGFR, mTOR, PI3K and MEK were assessed by in vitro analyses. Results) More than 30 patient-derived cell lines were established from resection samples. A heat map between the 30 different cancer stem-like cell lines with evidence of genomic mutations and the levels of drug sensitivity to the inhibitor library was created.
