Outline of Final Research Achievements

Current study was performed to newly identify tumor related genes and investigate their possibility as noble therapeutic targets in nephroblastoma and hepatoblastoma. First, we screened the candidate genes aberrantly methylated and expressed in mice skin cancer, which were induced by two step chemical carcinogenesis. Among those candidate genes, we found that the expression level of Zygote Arrest 1 (ZAR-1) was significantly suppressed in nephroblastoma and hepatoblastoma cell lines compared to normal tissues. To elucidate the function of ZAR1, we silenced this gene in these cell lines by using siRNA, however no obvious difference was observed between ZAR1 silenced cells and controls. We then conducted the functional analysis of Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) in hepatoblastoma. It was clearly shown that NRP1 silenced hepatoblastoma cells showed lower growth rate and smaller colony size compared to those in control cells. This result indicate that NRP1 has a oncogenic function in hepatoblastoma.
