Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is characterized by overexpression of HNF-1beta (hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta).To evaluate in detail the effects of HNF-1beta overexpression on cellular metabolism, we performed an inhibitor screening. As a result, we identified an inhibitor X that acts specifically on cell lines with high HNF-1beta expression. Addition of inhibitor X under the interference of HNF-1beta markedly reduced cell proliferation. We have previously reported that GSK-3beta is located downstream of HNF-1beta, and when GSK-3beta was interfered with TOV-21G and then treated with inhibitor X, a similar inhibition of cell proliferation was observed.
