Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to clarify whether ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug, had antitumor effects on gastric cancer (GC) through inhibition of YAP1. In GC cell xenografts, ivermectin suppressed tumor growth.we explored the mechanism through which ivermectin regulated YAP1 expression. Ivermectin inhibited YAP1 nuclear expression and the downstream gene CTGF expression in GC cells. Ivermectin decreased YAP1 mRNA expression, thereby inhibiting nuclear accumulation of YAP1 in MKN1 cells. In survival analysis, low YAP1 mRNA expression was associated with a better prognosis in three independent GC datasets.
