Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent DNA sequencing screens relevant to human cancer highlight the importance of PP6 in tumorigenesis. Somatic mutation of Ppp6c is reported in 20% of skin basal cell carcinoma, and 10% of malignant melanoma. Here, we examined the effect of Ppp6c loss on K-ras-induced proliferation in the context of keratinocyte tumorigenesis. We showed that Ppp6c deficiency enhances K-rasG12D-dependent tumor promotion. Nextly,
in order to analyze Ppp6c function in melanomagenesis, melanocyte specific inducible mutant mice which have BRAF(V600E) and Ppp6c loss were developed. The data using these mice suggested that loss of function of Ppp6c enhanced BRAF(V600E) initiated melanomagenesis in mice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

マウス皮膚2段階発がん実験で、貝毒オカダ酸が、皮膚がん腫瘍プロモーターとして働くことは、27年前に藤木博士により報告された。前後して、オカダ酸が脱リン酸化酵素の阻害剤であることが、高井博士により報告された。これらは、「皮膚がんにおいて、未同定の脱リン酸化酵素が、がん抑制作用を持つこと」を示唆していた。しかし、その脱リン酸化酵素は未同定のままだった。(174)
