| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To overcome resistance to treatment in lung cancer, it is necessary to reveal biological factors contributing to its progression. The aim of the current study is to reveal the roles of the EGFR-GEP100-Arf6 axis in controlling migration and adhesion of tumor cells and to assess its clinical applications. First, we immunohistochemically examined expression of these molecules in resected lung adenocarcinoma cases (n=182), and showed that expression of these molecules was significantly associated with poor prognosis, suggesting that the EGFR-GEP100-Arf6 axis plays important roles in invasion and metastasis that are responsible to poor prognosis. Next, we examined biological factors contributing to development and progression of malignant mesothelioma, and revealed that some EMT-related factors were significant prognostic factors that can be potentially useful clinical marker in malignant mesothelioma.
