Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we validated and confirmed the anti-cancer immune activity of the fusion proteins consisted of CD147 antigen and cytokines, in in vivo experimental models. We also disclosed the inhibitory function of REIC/Dkk-3 protein overexpressed by Ad-REIC agents, in the endogenous CD147 expression in bladder and prostate cancer cells. We believe that the CD147 antigen could be a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. We are going to conduct the further study to develop novel anti-cancer immune therapies targeting CD147 antigen.
