Outline of Final Research Achievements

In an analysis of 119 taxane-treated cases, Kaplan Meier analyses showed that higher APT6V1A mRNA expression levels were significantly associated with poorer DFS (P < 0.0001) and OS (P = 0.002). In 102 of these cases, protein expression could be analyzed by immunochemical staining, and DFS (P=0.08) tended to be worse prognosis in cases with high ATP6V1A protein expression, but there was no significant difference.
The effect of ATP6V1A knockdown was also examined using the breast cancer cell line T47D. siRNA reagents for ATP6V1A were introduced into T47D and ATP6V1A expression was reduced in a volume-dependent manner. The cell lines with lower expression of ATP6V1A showed lower proliferative capacity. However, the difference was not significant.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでの研究で、ATP6V1Aが乳癌のキードラッグの一つである、タキサンの耐性に関与する可能性を見出した。ATP6V1Aは生体内においてプロトンポンプとして働くV-ATPase (vacuolar H+-ATPase) のサブユニットAをコードする。今回、乳癌組織における検討で、ATP6V1Aが高発現であると、予後不良であることを見出した。また、乳癌細胞株T-47Dでは、ATP6V1Aをノックダウンすると、増殖能が低下する傾向を認めた。
V-APTaseの発現亢進は乳癌以外の癌でも多く観察され、タキサン系薬剤も多くの癌種で使用される薬剤であることから、癌治療にとって意義のあるものと考えられる。
