Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was designed to clarify the correlation between VCP and UBL4A in the STAT3 signaling pathway. In the first step, analysis using cell lines was not reproductive. Then, analysis using gene-modified mouse was planned. VCP-conditional KO mouse, VCP-transgenic mouse were successfully made. In addition, clinic-pathologic analysis on cancer development and metastasis was performed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

VCPとUBL4Aの関連の検討は、モデルマウスの作製が必須と考え、作製には成功したが、研究期間内では、さらなる検討には至らなかった。後続の検討を行い成果を発表していきたい。
そのほか、がんに関する臨床病理学的検討を行い、乳がんのリンパ節転移を検出するOne-step nucleic acid amplification assayの有用性を明らかにし、中咽頭扁平上皮癌のHPV statusと治療効果の関係、食道腺癌のリンパ節転移に関与す因子、EGFR遺伝子変異を伴わない肺腺癌の進展に関与する因子を明らかにした。
