Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Malignant brain tumor shows poor prognosis.MASUOKA any papers about glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells (GSCs) are reported to be an important factor. Our collaborative research produced super catalytic antibodies possessing serine protease-like characteristics. We perfumed screening with various super catalytic antibodies in human glioma cell lines and several GSCs. We found several clones showing anti-tumor effects against human glioma cell lines and GSCs in vitro. One clone against tight junction may suppress GSC’s growth to inhibit sphere formation. However, further studies are required to confirm whether these clones could be new anticancer drug in vivo. We would like to develop novel anticancer agents in brain and other solid tumor through translational research in the future.
