| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to elucidate the molecular mechanism of prostate cancer cell invasion using micro-RNA (miRNA) expression analysis. The LNCaP, PC-3 or DU145 prostate cancer cell was inoculated in nude mouse. The PC-3 reproducibly showed local invasion. Immunohistochemical analysis showed cancer cells in invasive front significantly decreased phosphorylated E-cadherin and beta-catenin, and increased phosphorylated Akt, and MMP-7 and 9. The miRNA expression pattern at the invasive front was different from that of non-invasive part of cancer, several microRNA were identified to be a potential regulator of cancer invasion. Further investigation should be done to answer this principal question.
