Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we detected multiple proteins and signaling pathways that are thought to be involved in developing the resistance to molecular-targeted drugs. As a result of analyzing some candidates as the primary targets, it was shown that drug resistance could be released by regulating some of those proteins. Furthermore, some of these candidates can be regulated by the drugs used to treat other diseases. These results indicated that there is a possibility that drug resistance can be released by using existing drugs well. By expanding the research method used in this study, it is possible to elucidate the factors of resistance to molecular-targeted drugs, and it is expected that it will lead to the construction of a method for releasing drug resistance.
