| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to establish stomach-specific gene recombination mice for the research of gastric tumorigenesis. Using this model, we established highly reproducible gastric tumor model and analyzed the mechanism of carcinogenesis. We found several cytokines and intracellular kinases were involved in the gastric carcinogenesis. Role of each molecule was clarified using knockout mice and gastric cancer cell lines treated with siRNA and inhibitors.
