| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma shows anticancer drug resistance. However, its detailed mechanism is unknown. We previously reported that hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta (HNF-1beta), a transcription factor overexpressed in clear cell adenocarcinoma, might sustain chk1 protein phosphorylation to arrest the cell cycle and inhibit cell death induced by an anticancer agent. Claspin is involved in the maintenance of chk1 activation. Claspin expression was increased over time in HNF-1beta (+) cells. HNF-1beta may suppress claspin expression, sustaining chk1 protein phosphorylation. In the future, proteolytic regulation (e.g., ubiquitination) will also be investigated.
