| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Invasion and the metastasis of cancer are the most important characteristics, and it is thought that it controls prognosis to prevent the invasion of cancer. Therefore I focus attention on the decrease of the adhesion function between the cancer cell for an initial stage of the invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In our previous studies, increace of migration and invasion ability was recognized by knockdown of E-cadherin. Thus we results to be considered altered expression of beta-catenin that binds to E-cadherin, increased in the nucleus was observed. Then, I examined relations with EMT by the malignancy. As a result of having examined expression of protein and RNA with the cell which a malignancy resisted, I recognized the tendency that EMT was acquired with the strong cell of the malignancy.
