| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor with miserable prognosis, and breakthrough on treatment against this malignant tumor is required. We performed exploretary analysis for novel functional genes which play important roles in malignant features of glioblastoma with a central focus on IGFBP2 and CD24.
Several mechanisms of chemoresistance of glioblastoma are discovered. It was revealed that RelA enhances the expression of IGFBP2 in glioblastoma cells, and inhibition of RelA reduced in vitro-proliferative activity and in vivo-tumorigenicity of glioblastoma cells. Not a few pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines also express IGFBP2 and CD24.
