Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The endometriotic epithelial cells of benign OE (ovarian endometrioma) and endometriotic lesions adjacent to clear cell carcinoma tumorous tissue (CCC endometriotic tissues) were immunostained for CD44v9 and 8-OHdG. In CCC endometriotic tissues, CD44v9 expression was downregulated, and 8-OHdG was upregulated compared to benign OE. And a significant negative correlation between CD44v9 and 8-OHdG expression was identified. Alterations in CD44v9 and 8-OHdG may be associated with malignant transformation of benign OE. In the CCC cell line which expressed CD44v9, the xCT inihibitor sulfasalazine with anticancer agents had inhibited the cell growth. The combination chemotherapy with xCT inhibitor may become an effective therapy for CCC.
