| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cholangiocarcinoma is one of the most intractable cancers among all cancers, and it is difficult to diagnose at a stage where early detection as well as cure can be expected. Therefore, it is desirable to establish an early diagnosis method for cholangiocarcinoma and a method to determine the malignancy of mucous-producing cholangiocarcinoma and mucinous cystic cholangiocarcinoma, which have been attracting attention recently. In this project, we constructed a Bisulfite Amplicon Sequencing (BSAS) panel for DNA methylation analysis of 14 cancer-related genes including mucin genes related to the malignancy of cholangiocarcinoma. Then we analyzed the methylation of tumor and non-tumor portions of cholangiocarcinoma tissue specimens (125 cases: 250 specimens including non-neoplastic region and neoplastic region) used this panel. In addition, to evaluated the BSAS panel analysis for clinical application, we compared analysis data with clinical information.

がん細胞株においてエピジェネティクスによるがん遺伝子・がん抑制遺伝子の発現制御が明らかにされてきた。近年においては、様々なヒト組織において発がん過程におけるがん遺伝子・がん抑制遺伝子の発現とエピジェネティクスの関係が報告されている。そこで、胆管組織検体・胆汁液検体において、胆管腫瘍の悪性度に関連するムチン分子ファミリー遺伝子群を含むがん関連遺伝子の発現と、DNAメチル化の関係性を明らかにできれば、希少性の高い難治がんである、胆管癌の早期発見に向けた臨床応用が可能になると考えられる。
