| Research Abstract |
Pancreato-biliary cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies of human. Its aggressiveness is thought to be associated with rapid cell growth and resistance to apoptosis (programmed cell death). Clock genes regulate not only circadian rhythm (biological clock) of human bodies, but also cell growth and anti-apoptotic property of the cancer cells. The clock genes play important roles in resistance to apoptosis of the cancer cells treated by anticancer agents or antitumor cytokines.
