Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the mouse model of colon cancer liver metastasis, we compared the lipid metabolism profiling between primary tumor and liver metastases by liquid chromatography. However, no significant differences were observed in this experiment. Using the same mouse model, we performed the gene expression analysis by microarray. However, we could not observe any significant differences between primary tumor and liver metastases. Next, we analyzed the protein expression levels that involved in lipid metabolism in surgically resected colon cancer liver metastasis samples by immunohistochemical staining. However, we could not observe any significant differences between primary tumor and liver metastases.
