Research Abstract |
I clarified epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) which was transformation to treatment resistance to be often seen in local recurrence in the post-treatment (RFA and TACE) liver of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Furthermore I elucidated the molecular mechanism about EMT of HCC and clarified molecular target to prevent EMT with in vivo experimental model. It was probed that HIF-1 α has had extremely important role in EMT of the HCC and the EMT was restrained by using a repressor of HIF-1α such as valproic acid (VPA).
