Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pemetrexed is used as chemotherapy of the malignant pleural mesothelioma, however, the resistance for pemetrexed is now increasing problem. Therefore, we made pemetrexed-resistant cell lines. Using these cell lines, we searched for the resistant related molecules and pathways and a new clinical cure to overcome pemetrexed resistance. As a result, we found that increasment of the expression of Akt in resistant cell lines. Finally, for a conquest cure for the resistance, we demonstrated that the combination therapy of pemetrexed and BEZ235 has significant antitumor effect for the premetrexed resistant cell lines, and that this combination is potential promising therapy to overcome pemetrexed resistance in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
