| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The molecular mechanism of spontaneous regression of neuroblastoma (NB) is largely unknown. I have previously demonstrated that the cell death mediated by accumulation of LAPTM5 protein might be closely associated with this event. However, it is unclear for its physiological significance. With the support of this grant, I clarified the mechanism to regulate LAPTM5 expression and induction of cell death. These findings may be valuable knowledge for understanding of molecular mechanism for tumor regression, as well as development of new therapeutic strategy.
