Research Abstract	がんの主要な部分を占める固形腫瘍の治療において、最も重要かつ深刻な問題は、転移をいかに制御するかである。膵臓がんにおいても、肝転移の発生を押さえることができかどうかで予後やQOLが大きく変わってくる。これまでに申請者らが得て来た知見から、がん転移のメカニズムはがんの種類ごとに特徴があり、これを理解した上で転移の治療を行うことがぜひとも必要であることが確実となった。本研究ではこれまでに、(1)遺伝子レベルで膵臓がん由来の微少転移の存在を予知する技術、(2)膵臓がんの肝転移の遺伝子治療のターゲットと成る遺伝子の発見、(3)膵臓がんの肝転移を治療する薬物を開発するための簡便なスクリーンシステムの設立、(4)膵臓がんの微少肝転移が臨床的に問題と成る転移巣に成長することを抑制する技術、の開発を目指して来た。先ずヌードマウスを用いたヒト膵臓癌細胞(ASPC-1細胞、Capan-1細胞、Colo357細胞)の転移モデルを確立した。当初は脾注肝転移モデルを設立し、膵臓注肝転移モデルに成功した。これらを用いて高転移性バリアントの作成を試みたが、成功しなかった。転移モデルに関しては、製薬会社に技術供与を行い(無報酬)、肝転移抑制技術の開発に寄与せしめた。(1)と(2)の目標達成は、高転移性細胞の設立に依存しているため、時間的な制約を考慮して、同時に私どもとは独立に肝臓に高転移性を持つ膵臓癌細胞の確立を試みてある程度の成功をおさめたデキサス大学MDアンダーソン癌センターのI. J. FIdler教授と共同研究を開始した。Fidler教授から寄与を受けた肝臓に高転移性を持つ膵臓癌細胞に発現する遺伝子で、低転移性の親株には発現してない遺伝子、またはその逆のケースを、DANアレイによって解析した。その結果複数の遺伝子を同定し、それらはほとんどこれまでに転移性との関連が記載されていない遺伝子であった。
