| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The SUSD2 gene is one of the novel tumor suppressor genes that we first discovered in the world. SUSD2 expression is decreased in various cancers including colon cancer compared to normal tissues. In this study, the biological function of SUSD2 was analyzed by in vitro experiments using colon cancer cells. When SUSD2 was highly expressed in cultured cells of colon cancer, all the ability of proliferation, migration and invasion were significantly reduced. Furthermore, we also confirmed a decrease in spheroid forming ability in three dimensional culture, which is one of the properties of cancer stem cells. SUSD2 inhibited the cell proliferation of cancer cells, inhibited the expression of a group of genes governing motor ability, and revealed that it suppresses various malignant traits of cancer.
