| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a disease with very poor prognosis, because GBM has high proliferative and invasive activities. The microenvironment of tumor is important for these phenomenon. Vascular endothelial cells, which are components of the microenvironment have an important role. For the purpose of functional analysis of endothelial cells, I analyzed the expression of related factors using endothelial cells derived from GBM patients. As a result, the expression of SDF-1 was increased in GBM derived endothelial cells. SDF-1 is specific expressing in pathological endothelial cells, and this factor is respond to hypoxic stimulation. In this research project, I clarified the relation between hypoxic stimulation and endothelial function for tumor environment in the research term.
