Outline of Final Research Achievements

Progesteron receptor: PR is frequently expressed in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor: PNET and is related to a longer prognosis of the patients. However, its mechanism is not clarified. Expression of PR subtype A (PRA) was negatively associated with multiple cell cycle regulators and with proliferative activities in PNET tissues. In addition, expression induced decrease expression of multiple cell cycle related gene (CCNA2, CCNB1, CDK1, CDK2) and inhibited cell cycle in a PNET cell line (QGP1).
These results suggested that PRA is closely associated with inhibition of cell cycle and can be a target molecule in treatment for patients with PNET.
