| Research Abstract |
This study was performed to investigate a possibility of anticancer molecular targeting therapy of Death-associated Protein Kinase (DAPK).
(1) DAPK knockdown regulated anticancer drug-sensitivities of cancer cells. i) Targeted DAPK knockdown by DAPK-specific siRNA transfections enhanced the Fas/TRAIL-mediated apoptotic susceptibility in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells. These results indicate that DAP kinase can be a powerful candidate of anticancer molecularly targeting therapy for human endometrial cancer patients. ii) Targeted DAPK knockdown induced apoptosis in human uterine carcinosarcoma cells and human uterine leiomyosarcoma cells. The results suggest that DAP kinase can be a candidate of anticancer molecularly targeting therapy for uterine carcinosarcoma and sarcoma patients in addition to endometrial adenocarcinoma patients. iii) Targeted DAPK knockdown enhanced 5FU-sensitivity but not VP16-sensitivity, and enhanced partially CDDP-sensitivity in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells. However, it did not improve their 5FU-sensitivities in the 5FU-resistant cells. These results indicate that the molecular targeting therapy of DAPK can be applied to restricted anticancer chemotherapies.
(2) Regulation of DAPK expression by demethylation improved some of anticancer drug-sensitivities in anticancer drug-resistant cervical cancer cells.
