Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We successfully established to comprehensively measure the amounts of trace metals in cancer cells/tissues via ICP-MS method. Prior to ICP-MS, we performed deproteinization by trichloroacetic acid treatment. Using our method, we showed rubidium (atomic number 37) contents were significantly high in metastatic cell line from human scirrhous gastric cancers compared with the non-metastatic parental cell line. As the next experimental project, we obtained a precious cue to research the relationship between cancer metastasis and rubidium contents.
