| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Objective of this study was to investigate the significance of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in castration resistant prostate cancer. A study of immunohistochemical staining using clinical tissue samples revealed that N-cadherin was overexpressed in prostate cancer. N-cadherin overexpressed cells showed aggressive features in vitro. N-cadherin overexpressed cells acquired resistance against docetaxel. The acquired resistance was reversed by in vitro treatment using antisense oligonucleaotide against clusterin, one of the stress-induced protein related with anti-apoptotic cell survival in many kinds of cancer cells.
