Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are micro RNA and the small molecule protein as a convenient communication of information tool in the extracellular vesicles and exosome covered by the lipid bilayer membrane secreted from an ovarian cancer. We isolated exosome from the ovarian cancer patient's ascites and ovarian-veins serum, and extracted microRNA from exosome. Mir-34a related to the EpithelialMesenchymal Transition(EMT). Moreover, the expression of CD24 which is the EMT related protein in ovarian cancer is prognosis prediction marker for ovarian cancer patients.
