Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we focused on the difference of oncogenes and tumor suppressors even in similar melanoma derived from cutaneous and uveal tissue. To this end, we established the melanocytes overexpressing BRAF or GNA11, which is related to cutaneous melanoma or uveal melanoma, respectively. In addition, PTEN was knocked out in each established cells. We determined the increased tumor growth and cell migratory ability only in BRAF/PTEN-loss cells though the detailed mechanism is unknown.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
死因の第一位が悪性新生物であり、今回の研究課題が腫瘍の発生の根幹に迫る研究内容であることから、学術的意義や社会的意義は十分あると考えられる。 現在詳細についての検討中であり、興味深い結果が期待される。
