| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the molecular function of novel immortalization-related genes, which were identified at Okayama University, in the intracellular Ras signaling and cell growth of prostate normal and cancer cells. In particular, we disclosed that the expression of REIC/Dkk-3, one of the immortalization-related genes, inactivated Akt signaling by down-regulating activated Ras. We also elucidated that the expression of BiP/GRP78, one of molecular chaperones, suppresses the REIC/Dkk-3-induced apoptotic signaling.
