| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are known as the origin of oxidative stress. ROS are produced in response to hypoxia and nutrient deprivation. It is reported that tumor microenvironment is often exposed to hypoxic condition and nutrient deprivation because of the insufficient blood flow. ROS are accumulated in various cells in tumor microenvironment, and they promote cancer malignancy. In this study, we analyzed the effect on cancer stem cells and tumor blood endothelial cell that is reported to play a role as stem cell niche. ROS accumulation caused in alteration of gene expression profile both in cancer cells and tumor endothelial cells. One secreted protein from tumor endothelial cells was upregulated by ROS and attracted cancer cells. We analyzed the effect of ROS inhibition on cancer stem and tumor angiogenesis.
