Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tumor-specific exosome analysis revealed differences in surface lectin expression between cell lines, including decreased expression associated with canine mammary tumor metastasis. Exosome-containing RNA analysis identified specific changes in metastatic and primary canine melanoma cell lines. Clinical canine samples were used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of exosome-containing target microRNAs in case-control studies. In addition, we found specificity for the inclusion of non-coding RNAs other than microRNAs and reported the results. In tumor-specific cfDNA analysis, we selected SNPs in canine melanoma tissues by next-generation sequencing and confirmed mutations in four completely novel SNPs. Still, we could not confirm mutations in clinical samples.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では,獣医臨床領域では初めてとなるエクソソームの腫瘍特異的な表面レクチンの発現の違いを確認できた.この結果は,今後,腫瘍マーカのより選択的な選別の一助となると同時に,エクソソームを利用したDDSの標的ともなる.次にエクソソームに特異的に含有されるnon-coding RNAの網羅的解析から,腫瘍に特異的な発現含有パターンを確認することができ,今後の臨床バイオマーカーとして,より適切な指標が作成可能となる.特に転移病変と原発病変の細胞から分泌されるエクソソームの違いを確認できたことで,腫瘍のより選択的な病態の把握が可能となる.
