Outline of Final Research Achievements

In research using various cancer cells, we have analyzed the function of dynamin and its related molecules in cytoskeleton dynamics, and have obtained results. In research using normal cells, we have also conducted research on the relationship between dynamin and microtubules in glomerular podocytes, and found that dynamin may play a role in the formation of microtubule bundles, thereby stabilizing microtubules. From the perspective of cancer drug discovery, we have established an animal experiment system using dogs to elucidate the mechanism of action of candidate drugs by endoscopic in vivo administration, making it possible to evaluate the efficacy of various drugs using new drug administration techniques.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

前立腺癌の悪性進展とAndrogen不応性のKeyとなるタンパク質分子の細胞内輸送における独自の観点から、微小管輸送ダイナミクスの細胞内分子機構を解明し、新規治療・創薬標的を探索した。また、泌尿器科領域での臨床応用へと結び付けていくための大動物を用いたin vivo投与の研究手法を確立した。一方で本研究は、様々なタンパク質複合体の働きに焦点を当てて新たな知見の獲得を目指すものでもあり、細胞生物学的にも学術的意義が認められる。
