| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During cancer progression,a step of increasing malignancy, cancer stroma formation as well as changes in cancer cells plays an important role . In the stroma, unique microenvironments formed by growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) are present. Tenascin -C (TNC) is known to be a specific ECM in cancer stroma, exhibiting various effects on not only cancer cells but also stromal cells. From the phosphoproteomic analysis of intracellular signals in cancer cells, TNC causes characteristic activation of SRC. Phosphorylation of several molecules on the downstream can be immunohistochemically detected in sections of breast cancer tissues, showing that both cancer cells and stromal cells are positive. The microenvironments of the cancer stroma with SRC activation may be a target for developing cancer treatments.
