Outline of Final Research Achievements

We found that the PHLDA3 gene encodes a suppressor of the oncogene Akt and is a tumor suppressor of lung / pancreatic NET. Moreover, it was shown that cases with loss of PHLDA3 function in lung / pancreatic NET are highly malignant and the patients have poorer prognosis. Based on these findings, we tackled the following three issues. 1. Analysis of PHLDA3 gene abnormality in various NET samples, comprehensive whole exon sequence analysis, RNA-seq analysis. 2. Preparation of pancreatic NET / pituitary / thyroid NET model animals useful for preclinical studies and establishment of pancreatic NET cell lines. 3. Analysis of the relationship between PHLDA3 gene abnormalities and patient prognosis and therapeutic drug response.
