Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is aimed to test the hypothesis that EGFR mutated lung cancer cells complete a metastatic process by maintaining epithelial characteristics through expressing adhesion molecules. To identify genes contributing to forming clustering, we performed a screen with pooled shRNA library. The library was lentivirally transduced in immortalized normal bronchial epithelial cell lines (HBEC) and then the HBEC were grown in 2D or 3D culture condition. Comparing amount of shRNA between the two conditions by next generation sequencing, we identified potential genes contributing to forming cluster. To confirm this result, we also did individual knockdown of the identified genes. Through these experiments, we were able to identify genes that could serve as therapeutic target in EGFR mutated lung cancer.
