| Research Abstract |
To elucidate the mechanisms of cancer metastasis, we established highly lymphatic, liver metastatic and peritoneal disseminated models in nude mice, and then characterized several factors related to metastasis in these cells. We investigated several biological properties and mRNA levels of differentially-expressed genes involved in cancer metastasis by cDNA macroarray. We also conducted the availability of metastasis inhibition substances and the relation between metastatic potential and angiogenesis factorts. To date, Endothelin expression level in gastric cancer cell line might contribute to the liver metastasis and VEGF-C to the lymphatic metastasis. Osteopontin might also contribute to the liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer cell line.
