| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, our findings suggest that YB-1 located in the nucleus serves as an intracellular promoter of TOPO1 catalytic activity through direct interaction with TOPO1, but meanwhile, it also enhances the sensitivity of TOPO1 inhibitor camptothecin (CPT). In addition, we examined the expression of YB-1in various solid tumors. In gastric cancer, the level of YB-1 expression significantly differed with respect to various histopathological classification. Nevertheless, YB-1 promotes cancer progression in both cancer cells and vascular endothelial cells, thus it is suggested to be a potential biomarker for gastric cancer. As an integrated achievement of the past studies related to this research theme, it has became a registered patent, “a new biomarker of tumor neovessels and its endothelial cells, and a cancer therapeutic drug that use it as the target.” (Patent number: 5697010) in February, 2015.
