| Research Abstract |
miR-221/222 contributes to TRAIL resistance. I built plasmid to evaluate a promoter activation level of miR-221/222 for the screening of the food composition with the repressor activity of miR-221/222.
I found that PUMA was a new target gene of miR-221/222. TRAIL resistance mechanism and association with miR-221/222 might be proved.
As a TRAIL-sensitizing compounds, we found six kinds of materials newly. Furthermore, as the ingredient which enhanced TRAIL expression level, we reported lactic acid bacterium.
