Outline of Final Research Achievements

Advanced colorectal cancer remains an intractable disease and new therapeutic targets are needed. We noticed that γc chains, one of the receptor subunits of the cytokine IL-2, are up-regulated in cancers, especially in colorectal cancer, while their expression is relatively low in epithelial cells in the public database. We performed several experiments and found that γc chains may be regulated by downstream signals that are different from the previously known γc chains. We are now attempting to identify novel signaling molecules by comprehensively identifying proteins that bind to γc chains.
