Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Along with the progress of genome sequencing with next generation sequencers, genetic abnormalities in cancer have been extensively uncovered. As the results of the comprehensive sequencing of cancer genome, it is known that driver oncogene mutation is mutually exclusive, but its reason has not been covered yet. In this study, we found that the excessively upregulate driver oncogene derived signaling induce cell death instead of cell proliferation using ROS1 fusion oncogene induced cells. We also found the key pathway and molecules which are related to trigger cell death when the driver oncogene signaling became excessive.
