Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that microenvironment-derived growth factors, including HGF, induced resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in EGFR mutant or ALK-fusion gene positive lung cancer. The resistance caused by microenvironment could be overcome by concomitant inhibition of growth factor receptors. In the orthotopic model of mesothelioma, we discovered that mesothelioma cells and fibroblasts formed the vicious cytokine network and promoted tumor progression, indicating that factors involved in this network would be ideal therapeutic targets for mesothelioma.
