| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. Analysis in lung cancer cells: Changes after glutaminolysis suppression regarding glutamine-dependent proliferation, mTORC1 activity, autophagy induction ability were analyzed using a lung cancer cell line. LC3 - II level was measured as an index of autophagy induction ability. It was found that cell proliferation was suppressed via mTORC1 signal suppression and autophage induction by suppressing glutaminolysis.
2. Vascular endothelial damage model: In the mouse model, expression of p53 was found to be enhanced when the vascular endothelium was exposed to stress such as ischemia and aging. It is thought that p62 is involved in autophagy, but the direct association between P53 and P62 is unknown, and further study is required.
