Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we addressed the involvement of tumor endothelial secreting molecule in cancer metastasis. Among these molecules, we focused on biglycan and analyzed the role of biglycan in cancer metastatic potential. We observed that biglycan-secreted from tumor endothelial cells activate NF-B and ERK in cancer cells and attract cancer cells towards tumor blood vessels, resulting in increase of lung metastasis. Furthermore, blood level of biglycan in cancer patients correlated with vascular invasion of cancer. These suggested that tumor endothelial secreting factor may be biomarker in cancer metastasis.
