Outline of Final Research Achievements

To establish new cell and molecular assays that enable us to clarify the mechanism of carcinogenesis based on genetic and environmental factors and to develop new cancer therapeutics, we screened for several cancer-related genes and examined their molecular dynamics using the cancer cells in which the expression of these genes can be controlled. As a result, we could get basic information for new knowledge of carcinogenesis and for new anti-cancer drug development targeting the cancer-related genes. We reported the results of this study at various conferences and published some manuscripts in international academic journals.
