| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated to identify bacteria or virus associated with prostate cancer development and progression. In addition, we investigated that the association between prostate cancer progression and the collapse of cell polarity by the infection. As the results, we could not find specific bacteria or virus in prostate cancer tissues. On the other hand, we found that MCP-1 derived from adipocytes was an important role for prostate cancer progression. Furthermore, we found that the overexpression of atypical protein kinase C that increases the expression of inflammatory cytokines and cell polarity has the possibility for prostate cancer development.
