Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to fuse two concepts of radiation sensitive marker, regenerating gene 1 (REG1), and G2 checkpoint inhibitor, to demonstrate the availability of combination therapy using radiotherapy and G2 checkpoint inhibitor, and to evaluate the feasibility of new personalized medicine focusing on radiotherapy. In this study, we proceeded to evaluate the relationship between expression of REG1 gene and X-ray sensitivity in esophageal cancer cell lines, and classified into four groups: 1) high expression of REG1 gene/X-ray sensitive, 2) high expression of REG1 gene/X-ray insensitive, 3) low expression of REG1 gene/X-ray sensitive, and 4) low expression of REG1 gene/X-ray insensitive sensitive.
